Friday, January 23rd, 2015. Annyeonghasheo~! I'm Yoo Youngjae, 28, businessman. I'm one of the leader of Four Stars Firm, one of the largest firm in South Korea. Actually I don't want to be in this position, I'm replacing my father who is getting older. (inhale) I want to run my own business, I have started an online shop since I was a college student. And then... Aish, I shouldn't talk about this. (shrug) Should I restart again? (murmur) Ah, nevermind.
Do you know someone is getting married tomorrow? He is marrying his dream girl on his birthday! And you know what? He is the happiest man in the world! Do you know who is he? You don't? Of course, I haven't told you yet. He is... (hit the table like a drumroll) me! (cheering sound on the background)
Casette recording sound.
(shushing sound) Can you hear that? You can't? There's a loud thump. (mimicking sound of heartbeat) It's my heart beat! Beating really fast and in each beat it says, "I love her! I love her!!" (cheering sound on the background) (laughing)
(clearing his throat) Can you see that? You can't? Those are the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen! Her eyes are able to make me not seeing another woman. Those eyes can freeze me in the spot. Her eyes that always say, (silent) "I don't like you." (sigh)
What can I hope for? This is just arranged marriage, she doesn't like me! She agreed to be my wife because of her dad, her family. Not because she loves me. (sigh) But I'll make her loved me. I'll be her Superman, to resque her anytime she needs me and protect her 24/7. I'll be her chef to cook her favorited food. I'll be her tour guide to accompany her seeing this beautiful world. I'll be her Ji Suk Jin to make her smiling and laughing. I'll be anything for her! I'll be her husband. (silent) (casette recording sound in the background)
Press stop button.
Slump down on the chair.
Cover his face with one hand.
Pinching his nose bridge and let out a heavy sighing.
"A husband."
