Preparations

Yeom Tae hesitated, "What do you truly feel about this marriage?"

He felt his legs shaking slightly as he tried to sit down beside her. The words out of his mouth felt unreal even to him. What if she expressed negative thoughts about it?

"What do I feel about this marriage?" Haneul asked as she raised an eyebrow. "I feel okay. Why would I accept the proposal if I wasn't feeling okay about it?"

Yeom Tae's mind said many things to her just then but it failed to really convey anything at all. He had so many questions but it scared him to continue.

"I just thought… Because it seemed to make you…" Yeom Tae slowly managed to utter.

"Make me what?" Haneul asked.

Her voice was calm and her attention was on the man. At least she didn't seem stern or unpleasant to his questions.

"Uncomfortable?" Yeom Tae said hesitantly, in a questioning tone.

"Uncomfortable?" Haneul raised an eyebrow. "That, I am."

Yeom Tae's heart skipped a beat.
