Today Kyuhyun will meet with his father's business relations while having lunch at a five-star restaurant. The one who was supposed to do this was his father, but his father was having an important meeting with someone who was kept secret from him. Fortunately, the business relationship was not angry because of Mr. Cho's absence.
“you are very intelligent, Kyuhyun-shi. But, why didn't Mr Cho make you replace it? Looks like he needs a break.” Kyuhyun just chuckles in response while drinking a glass of water.
“i cannot force Cho sajangnim's will even though I am his biological son. After all, I don't feel wrong with this position in the company. This is even more than quite” explains Kyuhyun.
“emm.. May I ask you something? But, this is out of work” Kyuhyun gave a small nod.
“do you not have a lover yet?”
That question again. Kyuhyun has been asked such questions a thousand times every time he meets his father's business relationship or whoever it is. Why do they want to know his business? Although annoyed, Kyuhyun had to refrain from making them label him as disrespectful.
“haha.. Maybe God has not decided my life partner” Kyuhyun said with a crisp laugh.Suddenly…
BRACKET
Prangs!
Kyuhyun stopped his laughter when part of his suit and pants were wet with a drink. And the cause of it happened because a waiter who was carrying the drink stumbled so that it made the drink spill and the soft target was Kyuhyun who happened to be near there so that the fateful incident happened.
“…”
“m-m-forgive me, sir. Please forgive me, tuan” the maid looked very panicked at the incident, she tried to clean Kyuhyun's clothes using a tissue while Kyuhyun was still silenced with his flat face.
“…”
“forgive me, sir…. I accidentally”
“remove your hands from my body!” a low and threatening voice came out from Kyuhyun's lips that had been silent. The middle-aged man who was with him was also surprised by it and he was second-guessing what Kyuhyun would do next.
The servant stopped the movement of his hand with a trembling body. He was afraid of being fired for this. He blames her for her carelessness in doing work that could have left her instantly destroyed.
“where is your manager?” the waiter looked up at Kyuhyun with a longing look.
“tuan, I beg your pardon. Please don't__”
“managermu!!”
The commotion was already known by the fellow servants' coworkers there so they directly reported to the restaurant manager about it. Not long after, a woman with her sour face ran up to Kyuhyun and the servant who lowered his head.
“a.. ah, sir. I'm the manager here. What has he done to make you angry?” Kyuhyun took off his suit and threw it at the waiter in front of him casually.
“she doused me with water, how did you teach her to be a waitress?” there may be no snapping and high tones. But, the woman knew Kyuhyun was holding back his anger to keep his image in front of the people who were watching them.
“forgive him, sir. He's a new waitress on probation, so something like this happens. Sorry for the inconvenience you ate here because of poor service, but we from the restaurant will compensate for this incident”
“you can just fire him!” said Kyuhyun casually who instantly made the servant girl look up at Kyuhyun nanar.
“dan you! Dare to look at me like that, throw away that suit because I don't need that flush suit from you. Come, Mr. Park.. We go”.
After the departure of Kyuhyun and his business partner. The servant girl still lowered her head while squeezing the suit in her clutches. Until the boss pulled him roughly back.
“you want to make this restaurant's reputation bad?! What exactly do you want to do, Kim So Eun?!” it turns out that the waiter is So Eun. Even the reason the woman said she lied about herself being the new servant. He worked there for almost four months.
“forgive me.. sa-I accidentally..”.
“there is no chance for you. Right now I'm firing you!!” So Eun stared at her manager blankly but was ignored by the woman.
“now you leave here!!”
“bos, I beg you..”
“OUT!!!”
So Eun exits the restaurant after changing clothes and taking her things. If he gets fired, where does he work? Only here could he earn a hefty salary. And all this time So Eun was looking for another job, but everything was nil. No job vacancies at all. So Eun exits the back door of the restaurant then leans against the wall.
“ya god...” So Eun muttered while raising her head until her tears flowed from the corner of her eyes.
So Eun finally returns home with a sad heart and a car passes by her. It was Kyuhyun's car. Looking at the girl who had doused water on him, Kyuhyun took a hard look at So Eun who was walking weakly down the sidewalk with her head down. In his hand was still holding Kyuhyun's suit even though the owner of the suit was the one who made him lose his job.
“that's the result if anyone is looking for trouble with meI” inner Kyuhyun is happy because he is very sure the servant girl has already been fired from her job.
@at So Eun's.
So Eun enters her simple house with fear when she discovers her father and mother are at home. It seemed like he indeed had to be honest with his parents about his dismissal today.
“o-omma, appa..” his parents turned their heads when their son cut off their serious talk earlier. So Eun's mother smiled gently at her daughter then told her son to sit next to her.
“o-omma, I'm sorry. appa, I'm sorry.” his parents are confused by the apology of his son.
“why apologize, dear?”
“a-I just got fired” of course the look on his parents' faces was shocked. However, it did not last long. Both are smiling thinly.
“it's okay, dear.” So Eun is confused because they didn't ask the real incident until she was fired just immediately understood everything.
“ada who want your app to talk about. We are actually hesitant to accept it, so we ask you” So Eun was curious after her mother said that, therefore, we asked you first, his gaze focused on the father who seemed to cleared his throat many times. His sadness faded a little because of this.
“ friends omma and appa recently called, asking our family. You know, they've been very kind to omma and appa since long ago until now. Sometimes appa and omma confuse ways to repay their kindness because they are rich people who already have everything. While we are just a poor family who eat alone must try as hard as possible.” So Eun looked at her father fixedly. He listened carefully to his father's words to digest the meaning of his father's words.
“and his wife called to bring shocking news for omma and appa..”.
“what news?” so Eun asked, getting curious.
“ekhm... they want to match you with their son”
.
.
.
“ha.. ha. ha.” So Eun laughed crisply after digesting it for a few seconds.
“must be once, appa. We have nothing, then.what do they expect by setting me up with their son?” ask So Eun. He did not want to be played with by the rich man all because of his firing today which made him have to think a lot about money people.
“begini. And this Appa friend has a company that should have been replaced by his son, just to see his son who does not have a lover, he said, he tried to threaten his son by not giving his throne to his son if he did not have an escort as soon as possible. But, his son was only indifferent to his threat. So... she planned this matchmaking”
“appa... accept that?”
“appa and omma sell me?”
So Eun's mother shook her head quickly as she pulled her daughter into her arms. “there's no way we're doing that! If it's true that we want to sell you, we don't need your approval. If you do not want this matchmaking, we accept your decision”
~~
@at Cho Family House.
Kyuhyun had just returned from the office when his father had also just returned from the office. Proper timing, inner master Cho pleased. The middle-aged man looked at Kyuhyun who had just wanted to climb the stairs.
“Kyuhyun-ah, can we talk first?” Kyuhyun turned to his father and inevitably obeyed his father's orders. They sat facing each other in the middle room. Her mother soon joined her and brought drinks for her husband and son who had just returned home from work and sat close to her husband.
“so, what do you want appa to talk about? If it was about the lover, it wouldn't have happened. I'm still comfortable with myself. And I'm not tempted to be CEO at Cho Corp” Mr. Cho is hissing because this son immediately said a long sentence before he started his opening.
“listen to your app first, dear” said madam Cho softly.
And Kyuhyun will be more obedient when his mother intervenes. When Kyuhyun heard his mother's words, he closed his mouth shut. Mr. Cho was lucky because there was his wife who always obeyed his son.
“we will match you!”
“WHAT?!”
Kyuhyun shouted loudly inside the house making delicacies from his father. Kyuhyun did not care about his father's delicacy as he paid more attention to his current shock with the news his father brought.
“appa kidding? Match me? Appa thinks this is an age that still enforces matchmaking? It's modern age, appa..”.
“who said this was old times? It's all because of your own fault that you didn't have a lover until now. Even rumored to be close to women, do not want to put where the face appa when people always ask, does your son already have a lover? Geez, appa shy!”
“appa who's shy, not me!”
“you.!”
“Kyuhyun-ah, are you no longer dear to omma and appa? We are old, your name is married. We also want to see you married let alone your age should be married”, said Madam Cho persuaded.
“don't want, omma. I still want it like this!”
“UNTIL WHEN?!”
“UNTIL I DIE I CAN!!”
Mr. Cho was surprised to hear Kyuhyun's reply. What did Kyuhyun really think? Why can he say that? Suddenly Mr. Cho touched his chest with bulging eyes and breathing that started to get irregular.
“akh.. aah... akhh.
“yeobo! Yeobo what's up?”
“s-sickness. akh.” Kyuhyun and Madam Cho panicked to see Mr. Cho in pain clutching his chest. Kyuhyun khilaf for yelling at his father. He approached quickly towards Mr. Cho.
“appa..? appa!”
“akhh..”.
“Kyuhyun-ah, we take your app to the hospital!”
SKIPS
Kyuhyun was very surprised because the doctor said his father had heart disease. He had just learned of the illness his father had. All of that must be because of the impact. His father was shocked and made his illness recur. Madam Cho could only cry while clasping her husband's hand lying on the nursing bed.
“yeobo... hikss..”
“yeobo, don't cry. I'm not dead” said weak lord Cho. Kyuhyun just stood by the door with a face of regret. Seeing that, Mr. Cho got the idea to smooth out his plan.
“Kyuhyun-ah, come here..” Kyuhyun approached without a fight. He stood on the other side of his father's bed.
“you see the state of your app? Appa is at his limit, Appa needs rest. If you do not replace appa as soon as possible, the appa disease will get worse especially if it is physical if it is time to relax at home with ommamu” explained Mr. Cho slowly trying to persuade his son well.
“then leave it to me, without making that match!”
“then you must find your companion! Appa won't give you a position before you find your future wife!”
“appa, why does Appa keep pushing it? I still want to be alone without someone in my life. It's been enough for 25 years that omma has been shadowing me with that misfortune of the divine level. I don't want to add to it” Madame Cho glared at Kyuhyun who spoke carelessly about her. Kyuhyun ignored that.
“every man needs a woman next to him, Kyu. You just haven't felt it yet. If you ask your friends, they'll say that too. Therefore, you have to find the woman you love not just work, work, work like there is no tomorrow,” said Mr. Cho.
“cih, then what does appa want from me? That match? All right, I accept. But I didn't promise to make her happy. If he pisses me off, I won't hesitate to kick him out of my life” Mr. Cho sparkles at his son's words. At least Kyuhyun accepted his matchmaking and the matter of his next life, he would leave it entirely to the will of God.
“appa don't want you to pull your words back!!”
“iya, I won't pull my words!”
**
After a few days of being treated, Mr. Cho finally returned to health especially Kyuhyun willing to accept the matchmaking he proposed. Tonight they will have dinner together while talking about Kyuhyun's matchmaking and his friend's daughter at the Cho family residence. Mr. Cho didn't even care about Kyuhyun's flat face from earlier.
“if they've come, smile!” threaten Mr. Cho while taking herbal medicine. Kyuhyun just cleared his throat slowly. Not long after, the bell rang so that Kyuhyun's parents immediately stood up to welcome the arrival of his friend. Kyuhyun inevitably stood up to his father and mother from behind and began to put on his forced smile.
Letting his father and mother greet each other with old friends, Kyuhyun stared at the girl he was about to be betrothed to intensely. The face is okay, the appearance is okay, but the nature and other things have not been seen. But, why was the girl's face not unfamiliar to him? It was like he had seen that face. He forgot where he had seen that face. And by accident, their eyes met each other and that was when Kyuhyun could see a look of shock on the girl's face. Was the girl surprised because of her good looks? Or does he know her? Oh of course it must be because of my handsome face, inner Kyuhyun was confident.
“ah is this your daughter? It's so beautiful..it's not wrong that I betrothed my son to your daughter” said Mr. Cho praising the conscious girl as silent as Kyuhyun.
“introduce yourself, dear..” said the girl's father.
“annyeonghaseyo.
“So Eun yes. greetings, dear. Call me and my wife omma and appa from now on. Do not hesitate ya” girl named So Eun was just lowering her head.
“cheek, he just kept his image in front of my parents. Maybe in his heart he was cheering happily because he could be betrothed to me. Basic hypocritical” Inner Kyuhyun upset. Yes, according to Kyuhyun, So Eun just pretended to be polite in order to attract the attention of her parents.
“just relax, your life will be better than before. I promised to help your economy, right?”
“thank you, Hwan-ah. By helping us out from the twists of debt alone, we were already happy without doing anything else. Actually I hesitate to do this matchmaking because I think your son should have married a girl who is equal to him not a poor family like us”
Kyuhyun rounded his eyes at So Eun's father's explanation which surprised him. He looked at his father full of signs of demands but, his father only smiled faintly. “no! We don't see anyone from his fortune. What we need is a son-in-law who can change our son's very anti-woman behavior. We are afraid that he has sexual abnormalities if he continues alone, even though his friends already have lovers” explained Mr. Cho without covering anything.
Kyuhyun sighed then looked at So Eun who kept her head down earlier. In Kyuhyun's heart continued to grumble aimed at his father who did not say anything about the family of the woman he would be betrothed to.“what the hell, he said, I'm increasingly convinced that the girl just wants my family's possessions to change her family's status. I can't believe a plain face seems to be a sycophant woman. And it seems that playing around a little with her is fine, I will teach her a lesson as it makes me have to get involved in this stupid matchmaking!”
