I couldn't believe what appa was telling me. Mwo??? I've been betrothed to him since birth??? I slapped myself. I must be dreaming, I must be hearing things. Appa sighed. "Yoo Ri, You're not dreaming." he said as if reading my mind. "But, dad..." I stuttered. "You've got to be joking!" My mom shook her head. I just sat there dumbfounded with my mouth open. R U SERIOUS? I can't get married to him!

I don't believe in fairy tales. Neither do I have fantasies in my head. My father was always a man of caution, protecting me from all the things that might hurt me. I guess he learned those things from what he had experienced with my mother whom I've never known. Do you think love is really worth it? If it just breaks you in the end?   I don't believe in fairy tales. But I never knew that one day that will change.
