The knot

“hello, I’m kim uee, 21 years old
and my sister kim so eun is marrying my favorite singer kim woo bin
this means I am his sister-in-law
and a family to him
yayyyy…!” so eun’s sister, Kim uee rehearsed as she was excited for her sister
“Oh come on uee ah, don’t get excited too much for this marriage” so eun said not so excited, so eun desn’t want her sister to keep so many hopes in this relationship since she knew its future. It is her marriage and why isn’t she excited at all? Uee thought as she asked
“why unni ?”
“it’s nothing” so eun said as she started picking dresses again
“do you really think I should wear these?”
“of course you should unni, he is so tall and you are so short”
“I am not short kim uee” so eun said angrily, one thing uee can always pull her leg is about her height and she absolutely hates it when anyone does it,
“yes you are kim so eun, so you better wear those heels now”
“these are around 5 inches uee ah, if I fall, I will break my leg”
“I bet oppa wouldn’t let you fall that easily unni” uee thought saying that line would make her feel better, but then her face turned pale for a second, as if she was saying no as an answer to herself
“unni, is anything bothering you ?” I asked
“ani, its nothing, by the way Mr. and Mrs. Kim wanted to meet you, so that they can hire you as their company model, they said they need a new male and a female face” so eun said to her younger sister, the elder kim already discussed about this to so eun and wanted her to convey the message and bring uee to the company after her deciding.
“Oh my god, really unni??” a brand ambassador for such big company ? it is like a dream come true for uee, uee patiently waited for her sister to complete as so eun spoke
“de, and they even said they could help you in other contract” this is really going far, wait is it true ? uee wondered
“unni, is it true ? or are you trying to tease me since I teased you”
“stupid, will I tease you regarding that ?” she asked and that was a great relief for me, and this is so exciting, I hope even my love story with hyun joon oppa also be great and likewise unni also falls in love with oppa, uee thought; she struggled so much from appa death and had no time for herself, I wish that she will find happiness in this marriage, but somewhere uee is getting a feeling that so eun is hiding something from me, what should I do ? I have to ask woo bin oppa she thought and called him after a few rings he answered,
“hello”
“woo bin oppa, it’s me uee”
“oh uee, what is it ?”
“Are you busy? Can I talk to you for some time?”
“Yeah sure go ahead and tell”
“no oppa, I would like to meet you and tell?”
“Meet and tell?” she could hear his exclamation but then he said “sure we can meet in half an hour at the fruit cafe”
“thanks oppa.” Feeling relieved uee hung up. Both of them met in a while, they didn’t do much of the formalities since they were previously introduced already in the family dinner both the families already had a few days ago.
“oppa I am wondering if something is bothering unni, do you have any idea ?”
“ani, why ?” woo bin asked
“she seems she isn’t so much excited for the marriage” neither I am Uee, woo bin said to himself but those words are meant to be a secret, there was a little shock which crossed his face that disappeared in a split second, but it didn’t go unnoticed by Uee. Thinking for an answer he said,
“maybe she is just worried and scared that all of this is happening too fast” his answer seemed logical, this is what may be bothering her since she didn’t have any dating experience and now suddenly she got into a marriage, if anything else seemed out of box, Uee decided to talk to so eun again then and let that slide for now.
“oh okay”

“what are you thinking shin hye?” woo bin asked shin hye as she was lost in deep thoughts and didn’t even realize my presence since I arrived,
“nothing oppa”
“something surely is bothering you what is that shin hye ?” woo bin asked shin hye as he knew when she says there is no problem, she surely is worried about something. She didn’t want to respond first, but then he was giving her the ‘I am waiting for your answer you know’ stare, finally giving in she spoke
“it is your marriage this week oppa, and the next two weeks you are leaving with so eun to Hawaii, I am feeling a little insecure” she confessed, woo bin didn’t know that going on a fake trip in a fake relationship will affect her, but her happiness is his first priority, thinking for a second he suggested
“then you can also come with us to Hawaii” hearing him her thoughts brightened immediately
“really? There will be no problem then?”
“yeah, I think so, may be you can go there ahead of us and book a room in the same hotel and maybe spend some quality time together right ?” woo bin said as he smirked at the end. Shin hye couldn’t be happier, she immediately made reservations in the same place and to her luck, and she got her luxury suite in the same floor as woo bin and so eun. Both woo bin and shin hye spent some quality time together and decided to have a movie marathon when his mother called him saying that she made reservations for him with so eun at a restaurant and he has to be there, thinking this as the best option to talk to her about his plans with shin hye in Hawaii, as he explained this shin hye immediately accepted as she even thought talking this with so eun before hand is a must. And earlier as he conversed with uee, so eun was disturbed with something as uee thought, maybe he could also ask what was bothering her. He already reached the restaurant and was waiting, when someone with most unexpected looks stood ahead of him.

“Oh so eun ah, you need to change your clothes”
“why mother-in-law?” I asked her
“we have to go somewhere now”
“now?” it is already past 8 p.m. and we need to go somewhere again I wondered, she gave so eun one of the dresses we selected earlier and pushed her into the changing room, and when so eun is finally done, she said
“now that’s how beautiful my daughter-in-law can actually look” and so eun stayed in awe for a second at the unrecognizable me,
“that’s what I tried to bring out from you all day long daughter-in-law” so eun smiled to her, or rather at her image in the mirror. New clothes, new makeup, new look, she totally felt like a different person but she is missing her glasses now. To be honest, so eun secretly like this special treatment. Who don’t you say? I have done some thinking about dating when I was in high school, good clothes, great shoes were all a teenage girl would want at that age, doing all these were her dreams when she was in high school, but after that incident, her life has changed, and she did not blaming that on anyone, but in that process she got no time for that stuff, and couldn’t even think about them since then, but after all this time, I feel like I rubbed a genie’s lantern and all my unfulfilled wishes came true.
“Thank you ommonim” so eun said hugging her as they left the shop, and she mean it. I guess even after divorce with woo bin sshi, I could have a cool mother-in-law to spend time with, a father in my father-in-law and a very cute nephew. This relationship which may not sustain has already given me so much, and I am going to do my best with everything related to that family. This one year marriage is one thing I am not going to regret even for a minute she thought. After a few minutes’ drive, they arrived at some restaurant. She was talking about dinner then I guess. But why isn’t she getting down?
“Aren’t you coming in mother-in-law?” so eun asked her
“no, you are going to have dinner with my son, daughter-in-law” she said with a wink and then continued “I already reserved a table for two, just say your name in the longue, arasso?”
“de.” so eun said bowing down to her as the car sped away. So eun entered the restaurant.

For a minute woo bin couldn’t really recognize her, if she looked innocent and shy all these days he met her, she looks glamorous today, with her hair let down and glasses off, her eyes were showing great and he had to admit it, she surely had beautiful eyes.
“You look different” he finally found words about what to say
“thanks to mother-in-law” so eun said shyly with a smile. They both ordered some food and started eating, it was pretty silent, she doesn’t have anything to speak about while he has a lot that needed to be discussed but words didn’t seem to leave his lips yet, one he was not sure how she would feel if he says that shin hye will also be with them in their honey moon and two he didn’t know if he was in the position if she will share any worries she had with him.
“ I have something to tell you” he said, she looked towards him and asked
“what is it woo bin sshi?”
“is there anything bothering you so eun sshi ?” he asked, though it might be a little selfish because he knew it would appear as asking her wellness before asking a favor, but if this could get him to spend time with shin hye, he thought being a little selfish wouldn’t hurt so much
“de why ?”
“oh, Uee thinks you are in some problem and asked me if I knew anything” and as he finished, so eun understood why, Uee is concerned for her, but she shouldn’t have asked woo bin, it is an extra burden for him and a sign that she was unable to pull her act well
“ani don’t worry, there is nothing that is bothering me, I will speak to Uee myself” so eun said thinking she has to put up her act better and not let anyone get doubts
“oh okay” woo bin didn’t have much than that to say, silence took over then for a few minutes as they both were lost in their own worlds for a while, breaking the silence woo bin asked
“do you mind if shin hye come along with us to hawaii”
“wouldn’t we be found out like that ?” so eun asked, she didn’t expect anything more, plus it will be relief if she has shin hye with them, they both can have their time together and she will be saved from the awkwardness of being alone with kim woo bin for two whole weeks in a suite and she can have some quality time to be spent alone then. Giving her best to that family in this year includes woo bin too and if shin hye is his happiness so eun didn’t want to stand in his way to shin hye. It isn’t like she hates to spend time with woo bin, so eun can do that but she knew the insecurities shin hye might feel if they both were alone, and she doesn’t have much to do anything with woo bin anyways, they were just faking a marriage.
“shin hye will leave a day or two ahead of us so that we wouldn’t be found out”
“oh, I don’t mind” so eun said. Woo bin was left confused, why does she take things so lightly? This means she kept no hope on this marriage? as this question crossed woo bin’s mind he was more confused, why does he feel a little disappointment in that thought while he should be happy that he and shin hye can be together for two weeks without any media following them. Soon after they finished their dinner, woo bin dropped so eun at her house and called shin hye to tell her the happy news.
