Chapter 2: THE MARRIAGE INTERVIEW
The next day, Shin Hye is preparing for school when her sister came in,
"Good morning neechan" she smilingly greeted
but instead of greeting back, her sister hugged her.
"you can't do that.. i will not allow it"
" I already did" she smilingly said
"Gomen nasai, Honto ni Gomen nasai" Ha Mi apologized while crying
" It's okay.." she separated her body with Ha Mi to look at her
"just promise me one thing.. stay happy, no matter what happens" she added while wiping her sister's tears.
When she get to school, she's being asked by Yuki and Yue of what happened yesterday. She explained everything, then the atmosphere changed.
It became sad.
"then it means you have to leave? Yuki sadly asked
She nodded
"when?" Yue asked with a gloomy face
"the day after tomorrow" she answered
"What? it's too sudden?" Yiki and yue commented on chorus
"well then, good luck to your fiance" they teased
"yeah right!" she sarcastically replied
The truth is Yuki and Yue is sad because of the sudden separation but they pretend that it's okay because is Shin hye will see them their friend will only feel more sad. but Shin hye cannot be fooled by them. they know each other since childhood, that's why there's no way she can't tell if her friends is happy or not, but she just went with the flow.
-
Shin Hye is now on the plane with Noriko, no one see her off, well it's her wish because if they do, she will only cry.. again.
-
After how many hours of travel, her plane landed on Korea's airport. She sighed as she stepped out of the plane.
"It's gonna be okay, Miss Shin Hye" Noriko comforted when she noticed that the girl's bee sighing since they got on the plane.
"I know" she still managed to smile then they start walking.
"Do you want to go directly to your mansion, Miss?" Noriko asked but she didn't receive a reply.
-
"Miss Look out!
BANG
she obviously spacing out when a guy bumped her that made her fell down.
"Pabo! the guy said then he walked away
"are you okay, Miss?" Noriko asked while helping her.
"what's wrong with that guy? pabo? huH?" she irritatingly said while looking at the guy, though she can only see his back.
She can understand korean so she knows what pabo means.
-
"Welcome home, Shin Hye agashii" the maids who are lined up in front of the door greeted in chorus while they bowed their heads.
She just smiled, well she doesn't know them, even a single one that's why she's thankful that she brought noriko with her. then a middle aged man came closer to her.
"welcome home agashii, i'm Tae Hwang, the chief butler of this mansion" he introduced himself.
"nice to meet you" she smilingly said
"where's my dad?"
'He's on his way to New Yorkfor a business meeting, Agashii" He answered
"He didn't even see me before going" she disappointedly said to herself
"then how about the marriage interview?" she still manage to asked about it, though she secretly praying that it would be cancelled.
"you're going to attend it tomorrow, that's what your father said before leaving" Mr Tae Hwang explained.
Okay, her wish is not granted but she still smiled to him and go directly to her room.
-
Shin Hye arrived at the restaurant before 12 noon. She doesn't want to be late and besides she's very particular when it comes to time. It's already 12 noon but there's still no shadow of her soon-to-be fiance', thirty-minutes have passed, still there's no one coming, she started to get irritated, then after an hour of waiting, a handsome guy came and walks towards her.
-
Good afternoon, Young Master" Mr. tae hwang greeted while he bowed, Noriko bowed too.
"This is Our Young Lady, Shin Hye Agashii" He informed
"i'm Jang Geun suk" He introduced himself.
-
Tae Hwang and Noriko leave them so they can talk to each other. Shin hye don't know what to say, she's still irritated because she waited for an hour, she's just staring at geun Suk
"Omo, He's so handsome" at the back of her mind
"Yah! what am I thinking? don't forget he made you wait for an hour" she thought.
"yah, are you always like that?" He break the silence
"eh?"
"I mean, you're always out of your mind" he said
"you don't know me" she irritatingly informed
"you're right, but everytime i see you, you're always spacing out"
"it's our first time to meet, Mister" she said
"are you sure? Pabo!"
Pabo? she suddenly remembered the guy who bumped her yesterday
"yah! you're that jerk?" she said loudly that made the other people to look at them
"jerk?"
"yes, you're a jerk, you didn't even apologized, and to think that you made me wait for an hour, you already owe me two apologize,she angrily said
"apologize? yah, if you're not just spacing out yesterday, we're not going to bumped each other"
"whatever, apologize to me"
"you know miss, i don't think this is going to work out, why not call it off' he offered
"yes, i will call it..." she realized what she's going to say.
"what? he asked
" I can't call it off, even though i really want to" she explained
"then I will call it off" He coldly said
