Gently folding up my duvet, I placed it ot the side. Silently closing thw door behind me,, ensuring I don't wake Minho up.
I saw eomma wide awake like always, cleaning the house while listening to our old radio.
"Good morning sweetie"
I smiled.
"Morning mom"
It seemed like she's acting like yesterday's events never existed, so I was the first to mention the arrangement.
"hey mom?"
"Yes darling?"
"You know the whole arrange marriage thing yesterday, I'll do it." I informed her.
Eomma's eyes widened in shock, using her hand to cover her gaping mouth.
"Baby, do you really mean it?"
"Mhm." I replied.
The brightest smile came on her face, she hugged me tightly, breaking away from the hug then she placed her hands on my shoulders. She said thank you with welling up tears and kissed my cheek.
"I must go tell your father immediately" She said excitedly.
"He said the meeting was at 10."
She skipped down to their room, humming happily. She opened the door and you could hear appa's loud snoring clearer. I could hear from distance.
"Honey! Wake up!"
I walked over to their room and leant to their door frame.
"Yah! Wake up or you'll be late!" She said excitedly while slapping his chest, hearing his body echo.
Appa woke up groaning in pain, I couldn't help but laigh softly. As I gigglef outside their room, dad sat up again in confusion.
"Your daughters agreed to the arrange marriage! And it's nearly 10 o'clock, the time you arranged to meet! Waiy, let me pick out yout best shirt HURRY!" She bombarded him all at once.
"That's nice."
He replied tiredly while yawning. Slumpong back to the bed.
"WAIT, SERIOUSLY!?!" He yelled jumping his torso forward. Appa jumped up in excitement and gave me a hug.
Before i knew it we are walking to the cafe I worked at. We saw Mr. Jeon from outside the window, patiently waiting for our arrival. I noticed the name I dared to hear and say, is not here? Where the hell is he? None the less, we entered the cafe and greeted Mr. Jeon.
Where's my collegues? Diid he rent the whole cafe? Unbelievable! Usually at 10 is one of the peak times for people to come in.
It was my day off, so it is unknown to me who's shift it was today. I felt relieved, my colleagues aren't going to over hear our conversation and gossip.
We pushed the door open, and the bell chimed.
Appa shouted at the entrance.
"HYUNGSIK~ It's been a while my friend" they shook hands as a greeting and hugged each other, giving each other firm taps on the back.
"Nice to see you too Dohuun, long time no see"
As Mr. Jeon hugged Appa his eyes diverted to me. I quickly bowed in response and said
"Hello Mr. Jeon"
He smiled.
"You must be Micha?" he questioned
I nodded
"Y-yes sir"
We all sat down.
"So Micha, I'm pretty sure you heard by now that you're going to marrying my son, Jungkook"
"Yes sir" I replied.
"Well you see my, son Jungkook isn't perceived as loyal. Even though he's an idol, he goes clubbing very often even though I advise him not to. Recently he got exposed by one of his flings, of him chanhing around girls. Ever since then he's been ridiculed and had been named the palboy of the band, this all happened 3 months ago. This phase isn't very healthy for my company and this has affected the whole group. We're losing income everyday" Mr. Jeon sighed as he thought about the situation.
I overheard mu colleagues saying that 2 people were co owners to jungkook's company Bighit, Bang pd and Mr. Jeon. Mr. Jeon started speaking again interrupting my thoughts.
"Also this isn't the best image of me as a father, so i want him to get married and show the public he is dedicated to one girl. Just a reminder that this won't be announced to the pubkicc immediately. So please take some time to gey to know him, plus you're 20 he's 21 the ripest age of marriage. So my compromise is, I want you to marry my son, and in return, I will give your family 100 billion won"
"Gosh! Thank you for your generous offer, but where is jungkook, may i ask?" I questioned.
"He's probably lazing around in his filthy apartment, he refused to come ever since I mentioned it was an marriage meeting"
Suddenly the bell of the cafe door rang, we all turned our heads to the silhouette. There stood a slender figure wearing a black cap, sunglasses and mask. He walked over.
"Appa please don't embarrass me."
He pleaded and chuckled to himself, he sat down next to Mr. Jeon.
Taking off his mask he reached for my hand.
"Nice meeting yoi Micha" He said with a slight smirk..
