“She’s engaged and I hope you understand that and accept the truth."

The Significance of One

 

Junsu’s POV

“Let’s go, Hee Bon,” I said. The bell had rang and it was end of class.

“Oh, okay,” she mumbled and followed me out side of class. We walked home instead. It was because Hee Bon insisted that we walk home. Once we arrived home I walked in.

“Young master Junsu; Madam Kim is in the lounge room,” one of the maids said. I grabbed Hee Bon’s hand and walked to the lounger room. I bowed at Omma. Hee bon did the same. Ri In was there too. They were sitting on the couch opposite each other.

“Hee Bon! Long time no see!” Omma said.

“Nice to see you. I have missed you!” Hee Bon said.

“Well…Junsu, go sit over next to Ri In. Hee Bon, sit next to me,” Omma said. I took seat next to Ri In while Hee Bon sat next to Omma.

“What did you want to talk about, Omma?” I questioned.

“Ah, yes. Thing is, Hee bon is already engaged,” Omma said. Omma’s words pierced me. Hee Bon? Engaged? What? How could that be possible?

“WHAT!?” I exploded.

“She’s engaged and I hope you understand that and accept the truth,” Omma said. I looked at Hee Bon, trying to get something out of her. She just looked away with an ashamed face.

At that moment I felt defenceless. Like someone repeatedly kicking me while all I did was stand there, trying to fight back.

I felt betrayed. My will taken all from me, so I couldn’t do anything. Like everything was going so fast that I can’t seem to catch up.

I felt insignificant, being abandoned. Like trying to get a toy I want but can’t seem to get it, like I am crying my lungs out for it.

“And that’s why I have called Ri In here,” Omma said. Ri In? What has she got to do with this?

“Ri In, from now on, you are Junsu’s wife-to-be,” Omma said. What?! Wife-to-be? What? She is just a maid! How can she be my wife-to-be? Today, too many surprises have knocked me out.

“Omma, how can she be my wife-to-be?! She is just a maid!” I objected.

“No, she is not. We owe a huge dept of the Zhang family. We must repay it,” Omma said. I looked at Ri In. she looked shocked too. As shocked as me, I guess.

“But her last name is not Zhang!” I argued. It was true. To what I know, her name was Jang Ri In.

“Her last name is Zhang. Am I right Li Yin?” Omma asked Ri In. Ri In just nodded..

“What, how can she have two names?!” I asked.

“She is Chinese of course. Her Chinese name is Zhang Li Yin,” Omma explained. This time I felt defeated. Oh yeah, I remember talking about it earlier. I just ignored everyone and walked upstairs. I wanted to avoid the truth. I knew that living in denial was painful but I wished that when I wake up, everything will have not changed. But I knew it was impossible.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ri In’s POV

I was in shock. Junsu just went upstairs. I just sat there saying nothing. How could I be wife-to-be of Junsu?

“Li Yin, I guess you understand now,” said Mrs. Kim.

“Huh?” I said.

“The wedding will take place in three days,” Mrs. Kim said.

“…”

“I guess you understand now. I will be going,” said Mrs. Kim. She then stood up and walked away. Now it was me with Hee Bon. She walked to me and sat in the seat next to me.

“Ri In-shii, can you please do me a favour?” Hee Bon asked.

“If I can do it, then of course I will,” I said.

“Okay, can you please marry Junsu?” Hee Bon asked, more like begged. I thought she liked Junsu.

“B-but I thought you like Junsu,” I stated.

“Well, I used to but now I realised that my love for is only brother and sister love. I know that you like him. Please do this for me. This is all I can do for him before I have to get married,” Hee Bon explained.

“B-but he doesn’t like me. If you want to do something for him, then you should oppose to this marriage,” I said.

“Ri In, I know what is right and what is not right. Trust me, Ri In,” Hee Bon said. I thought about it for a while. She just might be right. But why would she be right?

“I am sorry, Hee Bon-shii, I can’t do this,” I rejected.

“Please,” Hee Bon begged. I just shook my head.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hee Bon’s POV

Ri In kept refusing me. I really wanted Junsu to be with Ri In. I know she will love him with full sincere and never leave him. Nor betray him. I want Junsu to be at least happy when I leave. Or by any chance, Ri In will be able to change him. I just treat him like a brother and nothing more. I know that when I leave, Junsu will be sad and might possibly be a dump, or even worse than rubbish. Ri In left me with no choice but to do this.

I went on my knees and begged her. She gasped.

“Please, Ri In. Do this for me, and for Junsu,” I begged.

“I am sorry, I can’t. It’s up to Junsu to decide what he wants to do. I am really sorry,” Ri In said. I gave up. The only way is to make Ri In agree is to make Junsu agree. But no, that stubborn kind of person will not agree. I decided to do things the hard way for me.

“Fine, Ri In, I am going to stay here and beg here until you accept. No matter how long it will take, even if it will take me a year,” I said. She will have to fall for this.

“Okay, I promise. But that doesn’t mean that Junsu will agree,” she gave up. Yes! I got her to agree. Now all I need is to make Junsu agree and then everything will turn out smoothly.

“Thank you, Ri In. I will be going now. I will see you tomorrow!” I said and happily skipped out of the house.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Narrator POV

“WHAT!?” Jae Joong, Yunho, Changmin and Yoochun all yelled at the same time. Junsu had told them everything.

“Marry!?” Yunho exclaimed.

“Ri In!?” Jae Joong questioned.

“Li Yin?!” Changmin asked.

“Hee Bon!?” Yoochun asked.

“Engaged?!” asked Jae Joong.

All Junsu did was nod at each and every question they asked.

“Junsu?” someone asked. They all turned their heads and faced Hee Bon.

“Hee Bon? What are you doing here?” questioned Yoochun.

“I want to talk to Junsu for a while. You don’t mind, do you?” asked Hee Bon. Junsu walked up and followed Hee Bon.

They walked for a while until they reached a park.

“Junsu?” Hee Bon started.

“Hmm?”

“Can you please do me favour?” Hee Bon asked.

“If I can do it, then I will,” Junsu replied.

“You are so like Ri In!” Hee bon gushed. With the mention of that name, Junsu’s head flopped down. He was really depressed just because of this Ri In.

“I want you to marry Ri In,” Hee Bon inquired.

“Bwoh?!” Junsu was shocked.

“I know, Ri In was as surprised as you were when I said this. So, will you please promise his to me?” Hee Bon asked. Junsu thought about it for a while then decided.

“No,” he rejected, Hee Bon was fully convinced that this will not work. She will have to contact Mrs. Kim to work this is out.

“Fine! Act like that!” Hee Bon said and left.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At the Kim’s

“Mrs. Kim, it seems like Junsu is disagreeing to this marriage. What can we do?” Hee Bon complained.

“I already knew he was going to disagree on the marriage so I decided to disown him he doesn’t agree,” Mrs. Kim smirked.

“That is a great idea!” Hee bon complimented.

“Then I will call Junsu in here. I have been telling him to wait outside,” Mrs. Kim said and called him inside.

“Omma,” Junsu greeted.

“Junsu, I want you to marry Ri In,” Mrs. Kim requested.

“Why does everyone want me to marry Ri In?” Junsu whinged.

“Actually, it is your choice. If you disagree then I will disown you from the family name,” Mrs. Kim said.

“What!?” Junsu yelled. “You cannot do that!”

“Yes, I can. If you don’t marry Ri In then, instead of you being the heir to the family, you brother, Junho, will be the heir,” Mrs. Kim said.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Junsu’s POV

WHAT!? Junho? He knows nothing about business! How is he going to handle it?! He will create a mess. I can’t let this happen! He will make the company go down the toilet! I will HAVE to agree to this marriage!

“Alright, I will agree to this marriage,” I agreed coldly and left the room.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Hee Bon’s POV

“Yay!” I started shouting and jumping around. I realised that Mrs. Kim was shouting and jumping around too. This marriage will be a success!
