Love Without Time Limits
CHAPTER 3: THE AGREEMENT

The night was getting late, when some waiters put food on the table. The clock shows at eight o'clock. Dinner time for the whole family. Everyone is ready to eat the food that has been served. Father, mother, grandmother and a man were sitting in their own place. The father with the figure of his wife was still watching the ipad in his hand, he was reading a digital newspaper. Mother is also still busy choosing favorite items in online stores. It is shopaholic. While the grandmother and the man watched the servants who were still busy putting some food on the table. They had been talking about a girl he hadn't seen in a long time. He is the only granddaughter in this family.

"you must meet him. Grandma told you everything. That the girl is very beautiful and talented." said Hae rim's grandmother kept telling her everything she knew. He kept flattering the girl. I hope his grandson likes it.

"you must follow the request of Grandma, Joon Young." mother's voice sounded patronizing, he was trying to persuade the man named cha Joon Young to obey his grandmother's will. Hae Rim's grandmother nods at Joon Young's mother Sun mi's advice. Sometimes it is his mother who can rely on him.

Hae Rim's grandmother did not know the girl. He had met her for the first time in a pastry shop. In 2000, a 12-year-old girl was helping her father make cookie dough. Hae Rim's grandmother was very impressed with them. He became one of their customers. Until now hae rim grandmothers always miss their homemade cakes.

"grandmother wants you to meet her. Invite him and make a cake in this place.."ask grandma, she holds Joon Young's hand hoping to be accepted by him. But he refused it.

"i can make a cake, why meet him." Joon Young said showing off his ability. He is good at making cakes, every competition is always second.

"grandmother wants to betroth you to her, because her father owes 300 million to grandma." said grandma bluntly. Hae rim's grandmother's voice made everyone stop her activities, they stared at hae rim in disbelief. His grandmother gave 300 million to someone he didn't know.

"what ?! Three hundred million.." father commented seeing hae rim's grandmother.

"mom, you have that kind of money...!!" The surprised mother cried, she did not expect her mother to save that much money.

"ti..ti.three hundred million, wow...!! Great..." Joon Young counted with his hands.

All of them attacked hae rim's grandmother in her gaze. Hae rim's grandmother was indeed wrong, she was too excited to meet the girl's father. His name is not even known. He was given his home address.

"why did you do this...?" Ask Jin so's father later.

"mother felt sorry for them, her father had not worked for a long time. So mom wants to revive their store." hae rim's grandmother replied, she said it honestly.

"Joon Young, follow Grandma's request. I don't want us to lose 300 million" Sun's mother urged Joon Young to obey. He was afraid of losing 300 million dollars.

"right, Joon Young. You want to be betrothed or ask them to pay the debt." jin's father added.

"how can I find them, if grandma doesn't know their name..." Joon Young is upset. His family continues to corner him so Joon Young can take back the 300 million money that Grandma had lent him.

"you want to accept this match?" Grandma who was now looking into his granddaughter's eyes but a strong rejection was there, Joon Young shook her head firmly.

"i don't want to, I'll ask them to return Grandma's money. Don't expect me to accept this match, Grandma..." Joon Young refused firmly. He woke up from his seat. He did not want to continue the dinner that was prepared. Everyone saw Joon Young who was so furious. Joon Young was provoked by his grandmother's emotions. He doesn't like his life being organized.

"you'll be sorry, Joon Young...!!" Grandma said slowly. He doesn't care about Joon Young leaving. Grandma's eyes returned to the food in front of her.

"Joon Young...!!" Call Sun Mi's mother when Joon Young has just gone to her room. He was also upset with his mother. Hae rim didn't say anything to him first. Especially when it comes to money being lent. The value of 300 million is huge.

Eun Seung looked at the beautiful blue sky. The weather today was very hot, making himself relax watching the clouds moving in the wind. He watches his phone screen, nobody calls even chat himself. Eun Seung really lost Soo Ra. Four years ago, he said goodbye in a short message. He did not dare to tell all the secrets he had to his best friend. He tries to avoid Soo Ra's call. Many times Soo Ra calls Eun Seung, but always doesn't answer. Eun Seung feels guilty for her, but otherwise Soo Ra will always chase her wherever she is. He has a lot of trouble himself, sometimes he is always not happy if he always depends on him. Soo Ra, a very good friend. Maybe because Soo Ra just lives with her grandmother. So Eun Seung is already considered a big brother to her.

For four years now, Eun Seung has been living with his father and mother. His life is more stable now. The economy began to grow, as Eun Seung decided to work part-time in this area.

"Eun Seung, come here and there. Dad brought you meat...!!" Excited father who suddenly came with something in his hand invites Eun Seung to enter the house. Eun Seung followed her from behind.

"wahhh, many...!!" Eun Seung exclaimed as he watched his father open the meat pack on the table. The mother who heard the voice of the father suddenly came out from the kitchen carrying a grill pan.

"tonight we ate meat." cried father very happy, Eun Seung joined in smiling, only this time he saw his father smiling again. He hadn't seen her in a long time. Mom also laughed.

"let me buy you a cold drink."tukas Eun Seung initiative to go to the minimarket. It's not good, eating meat there's no soda. Eun Seung understands the situation. It's a good time to be with his family.

**

Night lights look dimly lit around the road to Eun Seung's house. He brought back some drinks to serve at their family dinner.

"Eun Seung, let's hurry...!!" Shouted the father in front of his house who was waiting for the arrival of his son. Eun Seung saw dad and ran up to him. He was happy to show the package to his father. Dad took the package, went inside the house first. Eun Seung looked back, realizing that someone was watching him and his father. Ever since he was in the minimarket, there were those who quietly followed him from afar. Until here, the man was nowhere to be seen. Maybe it's been swearing. Eun Seung let her.

"mother wants to take the vegetables first." said the mother left them both.

"so...!!" Dad gave Eun Seung a canned drink and put it on Eun Seung's foot. They were sitting on the porch of the house. "finally we can eat meat again, Eun Seung. You likey?" Ask the father who also opened the canned drink in his hand.

"yes, I like it." Eun Seung replied as he ate the piece of meat on his plate.

"father wants to give you this." Dad took something out of his pocket. A key is now shown in front of Eun Seung's face. Dad's hand grabs Eun Seung's hand, giving and closing his right palm. The boy was just confused, waiting for an explanation from the father.

"what's this?" Eun Seung asked continuously to look at the father who was beside him.

"Dad wants you to continue my dream of opening a cake shop downtown." replied the father, he looked up at the dark sky. Sometimes he drank his drink. "...during this time father, can't be a good father to you. Can't buy you meat like this. Can't realize your ideals. Forgive me.." continued Dad, his eyes were a little teary. Eun Seung just kept quiet, he moved his father to the point of thinking about Eun Seung's wishes until now. His dream of becoming a famous baker has been realized thanks to his father who supports it until now. "...with this, I can change your bail, right?" The smile of the father who is now looking at Eun Seung beside him. Eun Seung was just crying, he had even forgotten. The ArtBakery competition champion prize was indeed used to ensure father out of prison. But his father remembered him to this day. Eun Seung hugs her father from the side. He did not think that so far many people supported him. He forgets the reason Eun Seung likes cake, he always wants to be with his father. That'sallthatis. Her longing all this time was to be with her father. There is something from his father that makes him always excited and happy to do it.

"dad, where did you get all this...?" Eun Seung asked slowly. He questioned where his father had gotten the money to buy meat.

"dad worked hard." replied the father accompanied by laughter. His face was indeed laughing but there was something that father had hidden from him. A secret that he must keep. He wants the load is no longer to his son.'meet the girl in the area xxx, you will like it.' a short message from grandma hae rim written on the screen Joon Young's cell phone. He snorted angrily watching Grandma's message to him. Since morning, he had come to the xxx area to look for the address. Just to ask for back the 300 million money that grandma borrowed.

Joon Young keeps walking around looking at the signboards tucked in every house. Usually people write addresses on signage, so that the postman can find out if sending goods without having to call the owner of the house. Joon Young followed his way, he kept combing through every house. Sometimes he saw the messages sent by his grandmother. If it wasn't for the money, he wouldn't want to do this.

"ahh... here apparently...!!" Joon Young has seen the house that is now in front of him. This small but comfortable white house owes a huge debt to his family.

"urtlek..." The door suddenly opened by the owner. Joon Young quickly swore to the end of the alley, away from the house. He did not dare to meet them all. He was confused as to how to meet one of their members. Yes, that girl. Just with the girl, he had to meet her. Joon Young peeked out from behind the wall. One of the women in a ponytail was out on a bicycle in his lead. That woman was the girl his grandmother talked about. A beautiful and talented girl who has always been flattered by her grandmother. Her cake is better than her own. Joon Young lost to the girl. Who-is-she?. He could not see the woman, only her back kept turning and kept away from her.

**

Joon Young continues to take a deep breath to relieve his nervousness that has always existed. He kept thinking about his plan to meet the girl. Tonight's the right decision before he goes back to his house. He promised to bring 300 million to his parents.

"akhhhhh.. I must be brave.. I must be brave...!!" Shouted Joon Young who kept going back and forth towards the girl's place. He has circled the housing complex 3 times. But never met that girl. "... it's more stressful than the competition." Joon Young said. He looked around him. The night was getting darker, the streets were getting quiet. Joon Young kept watch and watched the small house from afar. "...hai, I'm Joon Young. Your family borrowed money from me three hundred million. I hope you can return it in two weeks.huffht..!!" Joon Young breathed. He's controlling his emotions to be confident. "okay, I can. Relax, Joon Young. For the sake of three hundred million." Joon Young said slowly. He continued to slowly mutter. He took a deep breath and breathed it out. He looked back at the road to the house. His eyes were fixed on the girl who walked slowly carrying the package. Her clothes were the same as the ones she wore this morning. Unmistakably, the expected girl now appeared nearby. Without a second thought, Joon Young slumped behind him. Approach her and pull the girl's right arm to a stop. The girl saw him because his body was forced to be in front of Joon Young. A gaze landed on Joon Young's eyes. A look of fear was on the face of the beautiful girl. The girl did not know Joon Young, the man deliberately disguised his face with a mask so as not to be recognized.

'Eun Seung's...!!' joon Young muttered in his heart. The girl was the one he had known all along. He disappeared after a long time, and was now in front of him. He didn't go to college and went to this area. The beautiful girl desires her grandmother who will be betrothed to her. The talented girl of his grandmother's pride turned out to be number three. The girl who was always praised by her grandmother for making cakes tastier than Joon Young. It all goes to a girl named Eun Seung. Joon Young took Eun Seung's hand off as the girl landed a fist on her chin. Joon Young held onto his chin, enduring the pain. Eun Seung had already run away from her.

"If he finds out, I'm Joon Young. He wouldn't punch me like that. Aw.. sick..." Joon Young turned around, he decided to go back to his house.

**

"braaac...!!!" Eun Seung's house door was closed hard by her. He was so scared. Breath snuffling. Running away from the tall black masked man.

"Eun Seung, what's wrong?" Mother asked when she heard the sound of the door being closed by force by her son.

"no ma'am, the wind shut the door hard earlier. I forgot to close it..."Eun Seung doesn't want to make her mom worry. That today someone is going to kidnap her. Eun Seung lied.

"rest. Tonight, I'm not going home."tukas his mother who went back into the living room. Eun Seung saw her and just nodded in response to her mother. When his mother came in, he began to slowly open the door of his house. He looked left and right, looking around the courtyard. He looked for the figure of the man who had wanted to kidnap him. His hands are still sweating. She's terrified. The tall man he did not know, tried to pull his hand.

"did I hit too hard? My hands are bruised." Eun Seung said watching her hands. The blue bruise was on the back of his right hand. He felt pain when pressed on by it. "...I had to treat him." he went inside the house, after locking the door, he passed through the living room and went inside his room looking for p3k to treat his injuries.

But suddenly a greeting card fell between the p3k box. Pink greeting card that he had not opened when he won the competition. Greeting cards that write about the short message of ArtBakery competition. When he won second place, he got it again from the competition. Eun Seung took it and opened it. A well-drawn lettering is just like the previous message. The same person who wrote the card.

'I'll give you the final recipe. The only recipe in the world. Recipes that can fulfill your desire. Meet me, I'm all around you, yrekab ruoiv eht ta..'

Eun Seung shook his head, he was fixed on one sentence that was not understood.

"yrekab ruoiv eht ta? What language is this?" Eun Seung flipped through the greeting cards, none of which explained the clues of the language. He looked back at the message on the greeting card. "...then the last recipe? He's gonna give me the last recipe?" Eun Seung leaned himself on the study chair. He kept thinking about the writing. The last recipe belonged to someone very precious. Recipes that create desire. A riddle he must solve. There is a secret in the competition."..I will look for that person to improve the father's good name, but who is that person?"
