"Oppa, I don't think this would work. I'm not really into video games," Donghae stated, squeezing the remote control as her eyes stayed on the screen. Donghwa forced her to play some games to let her anger subside but it wouldn't work. Maybe she really wasn't into games. And besides, the situation was serious so they also have to take it seriously. "How do you relieve from stress, then?" He asked and turned the television of to help his sister with her problem.
"I spend the day consulting Eunhyuk or go to parks with him," Donghae pouted once she remembered the times she would be down in the dumps and he would be the one to comfort her. "Besides that. What makes you busy? The elder annoyingly questioned. Does she do everything with Hyukjae? Donghae stood up and sat on the bed, thinking of something that can get her entertained.
"I would like to eat some chocolate ice cream so," She paused when her brother called the maid who instantly appeared in the door. Donghwa glanced at his sister who was looking directly at him, "Kindly tell mom that we'll be out for ice cream."

"Again, we are willing to offer you any amount of cash. We are begging you, please leae Donghae alone. This will be our last warning. You are given a day to think about this thoroughly,” Mr. Lee's voice echoed inside his room. The message was in his voicemail and luckily, he was asleep when he sent it. 'What the hell am I going to do now?'
His board exam is coming in a few days and this problem rose again. But this time, it got worse and fucking unexpected: his girlfriend was getting married. There was no way he will not give up to her old man. When they discussed about this months ago, they promised each other that no matter how hard the challenge was, they must overcome it together.
And another one awaits him: the pregnancy of Donghae. He can't tell whether to ask her to abort the child or to take responsibility. Yes, he might be in his late twenties but he was oblivious of the ways of a father. What will happen if he fails to be successful lawyer? Will be he able to support his future family properly? Maybe, this wasn't the right time to think about these things.

"Oppa, don't you think we've had enough ice cream?" Donghae forced another spoonful of chocolate ice cream down her throat as she rubbed her tummy, showing the two empty ice cream pints on the table. "Not until you're finished with the third one," The elder one stacked his three clean pints of cookies and cream and wait for the former to eat all the dessert inside. The brown-haired pouted and rolled her eyes but nonetheless, followed him.
Actually, his main reason for bringing her to the ice cream parlour was to let her thoughts wander around. If he would let her lock herself in her room, her mind will just be concentrated on Hyukjae. He wanted her to be free from stress and from the arranged-marriage thing. Although he doesn't have the right to interfere with her problem, it doesn’t mean that he wasn't allowed to help his own sister. He was once in the same situation as hers and he was married to a woman he hated before. Now, they are happily married with two little angels supporting them.
But it seems impossible for Donghae. Although Siwon looked like he can support her and their possible children, he was a playboy. Period. It's true if people say that she's lucky to have him as his fiancé but she can't seem to find a reason to be happy to be engaged to a man like him. She doesn't even love him and besides, she already belonged to someone she can trust and love for her entire life. Yes they did it and it was obvious that they are physically ready but what about the emotional readiness? Are they prepared for what will come to their way? They weren't married. In fact, they are far from that.
Back to what was happening, she found herself being dragged by Donghwa somewhere which seemed like a bus station. "Where are you taking me now?" The latter just grinned and looked at the route the bus will be taking next. He thought of something that will definitely cheer up her without the presence of her college loverboy. "That's for me to know and you to find out," He winked at her as the bus came in sight.

"I'm really sorry, ma'am. He told me that he will be out for a while so I looked for you but when I came back, they were already gone," The maid stated, bowing to apologize for allowing the sibling to leave the household. This happened for the second time already. What can they do? Maids don’t have the authority to stop their master. "You could have known how naughty those two are. Just, let it slide for now. Go serve some coffee to the Choi's," Mrs. Lee commanded before fishing for her phone in her pockets to contact her children. How dare they leave without their mother's permission?
Mrs. Lee returned to the living room and smiled brightly as if nothing horrible happened, "The dinner is all set. Donghwa just took her out for a stroll in the park but Donghae agreed." Siwon grinned after hearing the good news even though he was fully aware that she despises him so much but chances are still chances. We never know what will happen next. His hopes are still high despite the attitude she was showing him. Although the wedding is a week from now, he can't help but to get worried. His fiancée was a very persistent in calling the wedding off. It was such a pain in the neck to deal with that kind of woman but what can he do? He loves her more than himself.
"We'll have dinner later this evening around seven o'clock. We are anticipating for your presence. And of course, I will be watching your daughter throughout the whole meal," Mr. Choi stood up, bowed and left without biding goodbye while Siwon and his mother stayed with a white box in his hand. He was smiling at the parents of his bride, "Auntie, here's the clothes that I'd want Donghae to wear. Its okay if she doesn't want to. I'm just trying to be suggestive." In the box, there was a blue spaghetti-strap dress with some ruffles decorated on the end of the thin fabric. A pair of silver high-heeled shoes was also inside.
"We'll be leaving now," Mrs. Choi left with Siwon trailing behind. When the two were out of sight, Mrs. Lee sighed and sat on the couch as she took the blue dress, stating with much interest. 'Now, where could those two be?'
~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~
Two hours had past and Donghae was ready for the said event. Although she was very disappointed at her mother for making decisions without her opinion, complaining wouldn’t help her. She would obviously be against it. Donghwa was the one who volunteered to drive her to the hotel since their parents left earlier than them. Before they could even leave the mansion, they had a small argument about this topic. He thought that she was having dinner with Hyukjae, not with Siwon and his whole clan. Her mother was becoming crazy like her husband.
Donghae was done with her make-up and other stuff that could make her sneeze and at the moment, she and her annoying brother was in the car, releasing all the tension building inside her by pinching or punching her sibling. He sacrificed his own arm anyway. "This is your fault for not protesting," He silently uttered once his arm received another blow. It was true. Once they got home from the park, she got dragged by her mother and forced her to wear it without even telling her why. "Yah! I did complain! I kept asking but she doesn't even answer me. How is it my fault?!" She gave a last punch on the poor man's arm.
Donghwa stared at her sister's face and noticed the tears forming on the corner of her sharp eyes, ignoring the bruises on his right arm, "Now, now. Oppa's sorry. I was wrong to tell you that." He hugged her and let her burry her face on his chest. He told her not to cry so that she wouldn't be interrogated when they arrived. "Why am I even alive?" Donghae whispered after pulling away from the elder as she grabbed the tissue box. Sighing, the former shook his head and replied, "If you're not alive then, you won't even have a baby with the one you love. You wouldn't experience love." The latter locked their eyes, biting her lips to prevent her tears from flowing freely. "But then again, it's better to die than tasting this kind of problem," She stated before climbing down the vehicle and proceed to the hotel's lobby.
'Let's get it over with, Donghae. This is not only for you but also for Hyukjae,' She told herself and asked the receptionist where the rented room was.
~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.
"What is taking them so long?" Mr. Lee asked his wife as silent as possible. It has been an hour since they left the children and it was past seven-thirty. "Donghwa sent me a message saying that they are in the lobby," The latter assured while Siwon haven't touched his food because he was getting worried that the woman might not come. Then, a knock was heard from the door and it was successful in gathering the attention of the people inside. The door opened, revealing a woman with formal clothes and a man behind her. Finally, she had arrived. "Welcome, dear. Take a seat and let's start to talk about the upcoming wedding," Siwon's mother welcomed her daughter-in-law while the others remained seated, looking at the woman.
She was look different but the cold expression stayed on her face. A sharp glare was sent to the man in a tie. Siwon gasped once he felt someone looking at him. "Good evening," Her greeting came in a very dull and bored tone. Well, that was what she was feeling at the moment. Why pretend? It doesn't work on her parents anyways. "Sit down and eat. I will deal with you later," Her father's bitter voice echoed around her. It was the one and only tone he uses whenever there was something to do. He desperately needed attention. "Now, we have planned the date and the setting so we only have to finish the list of the entourage and other important things," Mrs. Choi excitingly claimed, showing the sheet of paper where the draft of the invitation. It was a bit obvious the theme color was sapphire blue and she can't argue with that. She was about to suggest it to them.
'June 14, 2012 in Myeongdong Cathedral,’ Donghae read silently. She chewed the meat thoroughly as she read the contents of the blue paper. It was a good date and a good place. But that doesn't mean that she was agreeing to the thought of getting married to him. She planned on going with the flow, pretend to listen. "The place where the reception will take place isn't final yet. We thought that we could have it here or in one of our hotels," Mr. Lee stated, taking his phone out when it rang. He stood up to excuse himself and leave immediately.
On the other hand, Siwon stared at the retrieving form of his bride who went to the comfort room to do her stuff. Out of curiosity, he followed her, without a proper excuse. He did his best to be silent but failed when his heel clanked so in order to stop her from screaming, he covered her mouth and dragged her inside the restroom. Fortunately, they were only a few steps away from it. Donghae was pressed between the wall and the bastard in front of her. She heard the click from the door's lock which caused her to panic. The events that happened earlier flooded her.
"Listen, I overheard you and you're brother talking about a guy named Hyukjae. The two of you were in the car. Wondering why you weren't able to see me? Because I ran back to the lobby so that you wouldn't see me," He said as he trapped her arms above her head, leaning closer to claim her lips but was stopped when the door flew open. Donghwa appeared, his face showed worry to his sister while the latter's tears dropped. "Let go of her, you bastard!" He yelled as he gave the man a blow on the stomach. Signalling Donghae to leave, he mouthed a soft apology for not looking after her.
Once she was back at the dining hall, all eyes were on her tear-stained face. The hot liquid was successful in ruining her makeup which caused her to look like a scary doll in the movies. Gathering the courage to move her legs again, she left the place and headed to her oppa's car, ignoring the death glares that were sent directly to her.
"Job well done, Lee. Twice in a day. A whole new record. One more and we'll call the wedding off," The disappointed man stood up as he saw his son's form approach him. Siwon looked up to meet his father's eyes and said, "I was at fault, dad. Please do not blame them for my mistake." He bowed to the Lees and exited the room together with Mrs. Choi. The old man's heart, though, cannot be moved. His mind was set for whatever mishap might happen again. "You know me well. I'm a man of my word," With that, he slowly went out without saying a single word.
