Hyun Min
2 years ago
in a large living room. Seen several people sitting on the couch, facing each other. A couple sitting side by side facing the young man. The room was filled with expensive and classy bands. the walls are decorated with expensive paintings and show that the owner of the house is a person with a high income.
"Have you considered it?" Mother's voice asked softly
He just nodded as he put his hands together.
"Hyun Min, you know you are my only child. And I want you to continue this company. The company that I built from the ground up is impossible for me to waste by giving it to someone else" Hyun Min's father tried to persuade his son gently
"I want to join the military service sooner, it doesn't mean I don't want to lead a company. Right now I'm studying theater because I like this field. But I'm also getting interested in business. I think I can think about it more deeply by meeting various kinds of people, and trained physically and mentally in military training" Hyun Min answered
"I know mom and dad are worried about me. but, believe me. have I ever let mom and dad down?"
Hyun Min smiles
"Does this have anything to do with matchmaking intentions?" Hyun Min's mother asked
Hyun Min sighed slightly
"I still haven't thought about it because I have made up my mind. I will try to think about it again when I get out of the military" Hyun Min said
"But at that time she could have arranged an arranged marriage with someone else," Hyun Min's father said
"She's the only daughter of the Lee family and she's not an ordinary girl. I've already met her. She's a girl who, I don't know, attracted you with her elegance even without the slightest bit of make-up," Hyun Min's father said.
"Does such a girl exist, dad seems to be making it up" Hyun Min laughed
"Oh, never mind. Forget it. You don't want to know her anyway." Hyun Min's father sulked a little making Hyun Min and his mother laugh.

now
A young man is walking towards campus. he wore black jeans and a red and white striped shirt. he carried a black bag and wore the same color watch. all the girls on the street are amazed to see him. his tall and fit body as a result of training while in the military gives the impression that he is not only handsome but also dashing. but that day he looked a bit gloomy until a junior called his name
"Senior Hyun Min" Hong Joo ran up to him
"good morning" Hong Joo greeted him
"Morning" Hyun Min replied wearily
"seniors why do you look gloomy?" Hong Joo asked
"Hmm. I think I... my love is one-sided" Hyun Min replied with a bitter laugh
"Huh, seriously, who is the girl that makes you this gloomy. she must feel bad after she realizes what she missed," Hong Joo said as they continued walking.
Hong Joo then saw a girl and shouted at her
"Hey Hyo Joo!!" Hong Joo then ran towards Hyo Joo who looked a bit tired.
the three of them sat in the campus cafeteria
"Why do seniors and Hyo Joo know each other? last time senior also called me to pick Hyo Joo at the park?" Hong Joo asked while chewing the bread
"You remember what I said this morning?" Hyun Min asked Hong Joo
"Uhm, yeah. about the one-sided love?" Hong Joo kept on chewing her bread until she realized it
"Don't tell me, Hyo Joo is it?" Hong Joo was shocked
Hyo Joo is also surprised about how Hyun Min will so bravely say about his feeling for others, she already knew Hyun Min's feelings but she is still amazed by his courage.
"Sorry I have to go. my class will start soon," Hyo Joo said goodbye
"Hyo Joo wait" Hong Joo bows his head to Hyun Min and run following Hyo Joo
Hyun Min knows what he is doing is very brave and might make Hyo Joo stay away from him. But what could make him so frustrated is when he found out that Hyo Joo was the girl that his parents want him to meet before he entered the military. he was annoyed with himself, he should have seen her at least once and now she was completely out of his grasp. and even though she already broke up with her boyfriend the gap is still wide between him and hyo joo. last night after he hugged Hyo Joo

last night
Hyun Min drive his parents home
"you said you don't interesting" Hyun Min's father crossed his hand in front of his chest
"About what?" Hyun Min keeps driving
"CEO Lee's daughter" Hyun Min's father put his hand down
"haha" Hyun Min giggles
"Are you laughing?" Hyun Min's father asks with an angry tone
"honey, be calm" Hyun Min's mom pat Hyun Min's father's chest
"don't be like that Hyun Min," his mom said
"I'm sorry father. but father looks more interesting than me now" Hyun Min said
"I just knew her for a while" Hyun Min turn his steer
"then" his father seems interesting
"then what? as you saw, she had a boyfriend
"ah, that boy... what a shame, he's also the son of well-known CEO" Hyun Min's father sulked
"ah, you are useless. why do I have a stupid son like you" Hyun Min's father said
"ahahaha" Hyun Min just laugh over his father's attitude
he knows that his father just feels a little disappointed over what happened at the wedding? He feels embarrassed when CEO Lee found out that his son who didn't want to meet his daughter is close to her now.
little Hyun Min's father now that Hyun Min feels more disappointed than him, that's why he is determined to win Hyo Joo's heart this time.
"you better be good next time I set an engagement meeting," Hyun Min's father said before entering the house
"Don't worry father, I'll bring your dream daughter-in-law to be that you've dreamed of. just wait" Hyun Min smiled and bow
Hyun Min enters the car and drives to the convenience store where Hyo Joo work. he looks at that girl so gloomily that she didn't realize his presence. Hyun Min grab an ice cream and a box of chocolate biscuits.
"do you need a plastic bag?" Hyo Joo asked without seeing her customer which is Hyun Min
"No" Hyun Min reply
Hyo Joo realizes Hyun Min's voice and looks up, tears falling as she saw Hyun Min. who knows breaking up will hurt?
"it's okay" Hyun Min whispered in Hyo Joo's ear
Hyo Joo feel the warmth of Hyun Min's body but then push it slowly
"I'm sorry, I feel like a selfish person to you right now. this doesn't seem right, this is not good. I just do the same as Hyun Jae did" Hyo Joo said
"you are not cheating. you already broke up with him, remember" Hyun Min said
"still, I feel not good, giving you hope like this when my mind is still crazy about Hyun Jae" Hyo Joo said
"you can hate me, I hate myself too for still loving him after all this stuff. I'm angry, I want him back, but he's the one who left me" Hyo Joo getting emotional
Hyun Min's face changes a bit, his face shows many undefine emotions and he says
"sometimes we don't need to understand what we feel. I just like you and I can't control it. so just give me a chance. eat this it will make you feel better"
Hyun Min then leave the convenience store.

now
Hyo Joo takes a class and then works at a restaurant. She feels exhausted. it's not the first time she had broken up with Hyun Jae, but this time feels different. she rather feeling angry than sad.
Hyo Joo walks alone toward her campus, she wants to sleep at the dorm. she saw Hyun Min sitting under the tree in front of her dorm. Hyo Joo pretends not to see him.
"Don't pretend like you didn't see me" Hyun Min's voice sounded sad
Hyo Joo stops walking closer and looks at Hyun Min. Hyun Min leans his body onto the bench, he leans like he has no energy left in his body.
"I'm drunk," Hyun Min said
"ill call a taxi, senior can't sit here, it's cold" Hyo Joo dialed some number in her phone, but Hyun Min grab and pull her hand, making her stumble and land on Hyun Min's body.
"I know I was the one who said that I'll wait and fight for you. but my heart hurt seeing you in pain cause of Hyun Jae"
Hyo Joo can't see Hyun Min's face clearly but it feels like he's crying.
"senior" Hyo Joo said
"hng..." Hyun Min mumbled
"I'll send you home. tell me your address" Hyo Joo said,
"are you sure?" Hyun Min makes a little laugh
"Why it's common for me to drop a drunk man from our restaurant," Hyo Joo said
Hyun Min take out his phone and show his address on the phone map. Hyo Joo calls a taxi. while they waiting
"Hyo Joo. I'm sorry" Hyun Min said and lean his head to Hyo Joo's shoulder
"for what?" Hyo Joo ask
"for not coming to the engagement meeting 2 years ago," Hyun Min said
"it's okay. I didn't come either" Hyo Joo answered
"you didn't? why?" Hyun Min ask
"long story," Hyo Joo said
"Are you sure? you might don't remember which one. you might go to many of them" Hyun Min asks
"no. I just have the first and last engagement meeting which is 2 years ago" Hyo Joo look down
the taxi finally came
"have a safe drive" Hyo Joo said to Hyun Min
Hyun Min grab Hyo Joo's waist with the rest of his energy
"no, you said you will send me home" Hyun Min pull Hyo Joo and enter the taxi together.
rather than an apartment the taxi went to some high society complex around Gangnam. Hyo Joo thoughts Hyun Min lives alone in an apartment like Hyun Jae. the taxi stops at the big gate Hyo Joo pays for the taxi and helps Hyun Min walk. Hyun Min ring the bell
"it's me" Hyun Min said
just in a second Hyo Joo can hear the sound of running footsteps towards the gate. the gate opened and a maid and the car driver came.
"young master" the man grabs Hyun Min's drunk body and brings him to the house
"I'll go now," Hyo Joo said
"No, you can't go. our master will be angry with him. please explain something to his parents and we will send you home directly" The maid looks worried
the maid opens the big door, a big luxury room seen as Hyo Joo walks inside.
"oh, Hyun Min-a.." Hyun Min's mom run to see his son
"are you drunk? ah what happened, why you make so many problems today" his mom grumble
"who is that, in the middle of the night" Hyun Min's father come down the stairs
Hyo Joo bows her head
"is this kid going nuts? he gives me so much headache today. send him to his room. make some herbal tea so he can sober soon. he has many to explain"
the maid run to the kitchen and the car driver bring Hyun Min to his room.
"he must be having a hard time," Hyun Min's mom said
"hard time, how could that kid have a hard time? he's living his life as he wants till now"
Hyun Min's parents then realize Hyo Joo still standing there
"oh little girl, what are you doing with my son? keep your head up" Hyun Min's father said and take a seat on the couch
Hyo Joo up her head so her face can be seen clearly
"honey, is she?" Hyun Min's mom was surprised
"yes, it's her" Hyun Min's father stand again and walk towards Hyo Joo
"aigoo, who will think that kid will bring her here" Hyun Min's father smiled widely
"please have a seat, aigoo, I didn't see your face then," Hyun Min's father said
"Hyo Joo ssi, why did Hyun Min get drunk?" Hyun Min's mom asks
"I'm sorry but I didn't know either. he was already drunk when meeting me" Hyo Joo answered
"aigoo, that kid is such trouble" Hyun Min's father laugh
hyun Min's mom pinch her husband's waist
"we are sorry Hyo Joo ssi," Hyun Min's mom said
"it's okay. it's late I'll go back now, excuse me" Hyo Joo said
"NO" both Hyun Min's parents yell
"no, we think it's too late and not safe right honey," Hyun Min's mom said
"yes, we will don't have any face to meet your father if he knows we send her daughter at the middle of the night. it's dangerous" Hyun Min's father said
"stay here tonight, you can sleep in our guest room" Hyun Min's mom insist
and that's how Hyo Joo ended sleep at "Hyun Min's" house.
Meanwhile, Hyun Min's parents
"honey, I think he makes moves," Hyun Min's mom said
"but, her boyfriend is also from a well-known family. will it be good?" Hyun Min's father asks
"ah, why. we are also well known like Shin Family. and our kids are as handsome as theirs too"
"let them handle it," Hyun Min's father said
"but you happy aren't you" Hyun Min's mom's heart is flowery thinking of his son's action.
