It was late at night and Soojin was doing the paperwork for the next day's meeting while waiting for a message from Shuhua, the CEO had left in a hurry after receiving a call from her mother and had not returned to the company, Soojin was alone on that floor so she was listening to music on her earbuds while working and only noticed that someone had approached her when someone tapped her shoulder and she jumped a little 

-, I mean Miss Yeh you scared me 

Soojin turned her attention to her boss and noticed that she had a worried and sad expression. 

-Miss Yeh? 

-I should have send you home earlier... I'm sorry 

Immediately Soojin noticed something was going on, Shuhua had wrinkled clothes and a tired expression. 

-Did something happened Miss Yeh? 

-I need a favor Soojin 

-What do you need Miss Yeh? 

-I need you to pretend to be my girlfriend 

-Huh? 

-I may have sorta lied and told my mama that I have a girlfriend 

Soojin looked at her confused. 

-And that girlfriend is me? 

-Yeap 

-Why me? And why did you have to lie? 

-My mama is sick... câncer... 

-Miss Yeh I´m so sorry to hear that 

Shuhua gave her a tight smile and shrugged her shoulders 

-I spent all day with her, she showed me some tests and I spoke to her doctor on the phone... 

-If you need anything, please let me know. 

Shuhua smiled briefly, Soojin was always a thoughtful woman

-Thank you 

-Not to be rude but what does your mother's illness have to do with this fake relationship? 

-It just all happened so fast, one minute she was telling me and my brother she was sick and the next she had a list of women for me to date and marry 

-List of women? 

-According to my mama she wants to make sure I'm happy before she dies so she decided that she would marry me to the most eligible single women in asia 

-And how do I fit into all this? 

-I told her that I didn't need suitors because I was already dating someone... 

-Me 

-Yes, you... your name was the only one that came to my mind Soojin ssi 

-I don't know if I should be flattered or not... 

-I'm sorry for getting you involved Soojin ssi but the news that my mama is sick left me bewildered 

Soojin had been working with Shuhua for a few years and had never seen her as sad as that night. 

-I understand Miss Yeh... alright, I will do it 

Shuhua widened her eyes 

-You mean... 

-I'll pretend I'm your girlfriend 

Shuhua immediately went to Soojin and hugged her tightly. 

-Thank you, thank you, thank you! 

Soojin felt her cheeks flush and her heart beat faster as Shuhua hugged her. 

-Well, it can't be that hard... right? What do I need to do exactly? 

Shuhua looked at her embarrassed and Soojin raised her eyebrow 

-Shuhua ssi... 

-We're going to have dinner with her on Sunday 

-WHAT? 

. 

. 

. 

-Thank you for agreeing to do this, Soojin ssi 

Shuhua said as she pulled in to her mothers’ driveway, Soojin straightened out the new dress Shuhua had bought her, a beautiful blue formal dress 

-That dress looks really nice on you. 

Shuhua said briefly fixing her gaze on Soojin's legs and she turned red. 

-So... let's review our history before we enter? 

Shuhua turned off the car and faced Soojin 

-We've been dating for a few months... 

- It all started after a meeting... 

-You have a younger sister and your appa is a Taekwondo teacher 

-You had a crush on Hyuna  

-Wait how do you know? 

-You have her albums in your office, remember? 

Shuhua blushed 

-Right... who is your favorite singer? 

It was Soojin's turn to blush 

-Hyuna too 

Shuhua smirked

-Busted ...I...  

Shuhua stopped talking and Soojin followed the direction of her gaze and saw a woman watching them through the window

-Is that 

-That´s my mama 

-I think it's been a few months since I last saw her. 

Soojin said in a nervous tone and Shuhua smiled 

-Hey, calm down 

Shuhua said, reaching across the seat and squeezing Soojin's hand comfortingly 

-I'm just not good at lying... 

-Will be all right 

The two stared at each other for a few moments and Shuhua felt her cheeks redden, was Soojin always this beautiful? 

-Ok, let’s do this 

Soojin said and the two got out of the car and went towards the mansion and the front door swung open revealing Mrs Yeh in all her glory 

-Mama

-You were taking too long, I was afraid of you two giving up 

-Never 

Shuhua and Soojin climbed the stairs until they were face to face with Mrs Yeh. 

-Good evening Mrs Yeh, thank you for th
