Chapter 3: Big Decision
I washed my face in the sink and patted my cheeks, wishing I woke up from my dream. What just happened is so absurd, my future husband is Suga, the famous rapper of BTS.
Jeez! I almost fainted when I stand face to face with him. I am an ARMY, but the thought of getting married to one of the BTS members makes me dizzy and nauseous. This is too much ...
"Ottoke (how is this)? What should I do?", I asked myself
"Can I cancel this marriage? I'll discuss this with Suga, an idol isn't allowed to get married, right?", I muttered
I dried my face and smoothed my hair and clothes. Grandma and Min's family were waiting for me outside. They are drinking tea and talking about our marriage.
I took some breaths to calm myself and walked slowly to meet them.
"You're back", said my grandma smiling at me and asked me to sit beside Suga
"Ye", I replied softly trying not to make eye contact with Suga
"I didn't know that your son is a famous star, you are very lucky Sofia", said my grandma again while patting my hand on the table
"Ani, your granddaughter is also very beautiful, she is like a movie star", said Mrs. Min
Oh God, I feel like I want to disappear right now instead of hearing a chitchat like this, I thought.
"So what about the wedding? When will we do it?", Asked Suga's father to my grandmother
"Uh, sorry to interrupt your conversation, but ... but can I talk to Su ... uh, to Yoongi oppa (designation for an older male when the speaker is a female)?", I asked while glancing at Suga who had just put down the glass in front of him
"Ye, sure. Say it", said Suga smiling at me
"Uh, just talking in private I mean ...", I said again
My grandmother and Suga's parents exchanged glances. I lowered my face in embarrassment. Do I look pathetic right now? I closed my eyes.
"Alright, kajja (come on)", replied Suga, standing up from his chair and bowing to my parents and grandmother
"Ye", said my grandma smiling at us
I walked slowly following Suga to the restaurant balcony. He then stood up facing me while leaning against the balcony railing. The wind hit his face and brushed his hair. He looks unreal, how could there be a man like this in the world.
He glanced at me and smiled. I shook my head trying to get rid of strange thoughts from my brain.
"What's wrong?", He asked in a deep voice
"Uh .. do you agree with the arrangement? Can we cancel it?", I asked biting my lips
"You want to cancel it? I think you really want it after knowing that I will be your future husband", he said with a grin
"Huh??", I asked in disbelief
Suga chuckled at me.
"I don't want to get married, after all I don't know you, oppa. So I will ask you to refuse this too. An idol like you isn't allowed to get married, right?", I asked him
"Yes, mostly like that, but Bighit does not prohibit us from having relations with women. We are allowed if we want to date or marry", he replied with a flat face
"Jinjja (really)? ..", I replied frowning
He sighed and looked at me closely.
"Do you really not know me, Sobi?", Asked Suga, looking at me intensely
"I know you, of course, you are Suga. I'm an ARMY, after all, no one doesn't know you, right?", I replied frowning
"No. That's not what I meant, don't you remember me? On Yoongi 12 years ago?", He asked with a serious face
I feel confused, I really don't recognize him. My mother did say that I was traumatized by my father's death. But other than that, I don't remember anything.
I shook my head and muttered, "mianhae" (sorry), to him
Suga snorted and turned his back on me while shaking his head.
"You want this marriage canceled?", He asked in a serious tone
"Ye .. can you help me?", I asked him
"Do you have a boyfriend?", He asked again, still his back to me
"Ani, I'm just not ready to get married yet," I replied softly
"Arasso, then your grandma must prepare herself because my family will definitely sue you for canceling the marriage, unilaterally", he said while turning his body to face me again
"What ?! You must be kidding, right?", I asked, not believing what I just heard
"Ani. I'm not kidding. Your grandmother would have done the same thing if I canceled this matchmaking. It's like a buying and selling contract between two people. If the buyer feels aggrieved, he will definitely sue for compensation, right?" , he said with a shrug
I sighed, annoyed that Suga was making things even more complicated.
"Why don't you want to marry me? I feel so insulted that you reject me like this," he said, folding his arms across his chest
"Jinjja? You really feel like that?", I asked incredulously
"Ye. I've never been rejected by anyone before", he said, sullenly
"Gosh ... I don't believe this. Oppa, you are an amazing man, I am very honored to be matched with you. But, but I'm not ready, I'm still in college, I still have many dreams that I haven't achieved. Please understand", I said sadly
"You can achieve your dreams at any time, don't make our marriage as excuse. I will not cancel this marriage, so the choice is yours, marry me or we meet in court", he said ending our conversation
Suga walked slowly past me to go back in to meet his family. I'm so frustrated right now. Why is he doing this to me ?.
"Wait!", Called me when he will open the restaurant entrance
"What now?", He asked turning his face towards me
"Why do you want to do this?", I asked quietly
"Wae (why)? Because I have no reason to reject it", he replied briefly
He continued walking and entered the restaurant to meet my grandma and his parents. Meanwhile, I stood on the balcony staring at the buildings and streets below.
What kind of answer is that? What does it mean? Is he okay with this marriage arrangement? How could he possibly think like that.
I covered my face with my hands. I feel like I want to scream and cry because of this. I'm still young, I still have a lot to do, I don't want to get married just because of this silly matchmaking. I want to marry the man I love when the time comes.
"Han Sofia ssi, come in. They are waiting for you", Suga's voice came from behind me
I took a deep breath, combed my hair with my hands and walked slowly towards the door.
"Jankanman (wait a minute)", said Suga holding the door in front of me
"Wae?", I asked irritably
Then he tucks my messy hair behind my ear. I widened my eyes in surprise.
"You're such a mess, Sobi", he said and then walked ahead of me
What was that? Why did he do that to me? I'm startled. I feel my face hot. I've never been that close to a boy before.
"You're done talking? Then how?", Asked Suga's father to us
"I'm going to marry her, but it looks like Sobi, uh, Sofia is still uncertain about it", replied Suga glancing at me
"What is burdening you dear?", Asked my grandma
"May I think about it first?", I asked my grandma
"You just have to choose, accept or reject it. I have no time to wait for you. My schedule is very busy, if you accept it then my family will prepare for the wedding immediately. But if you refuse, then I'll end it here and our family lawyer will take care of it", said Suga firmly
"Yoongi~ah, don't say it like that", scolded his mother
I lowered my face, played with the edges of the tablecloth with my fingers. I'm nervous right now. What should I do? Accept it? But I don't want to get married right now.
Should I just reject it? But what if Min family demands enormous compensation? I have no money right now. Will my grandmother help me? I'm not sure about that.
I closed my eyes, took a deep breath. We only got married on paper, right? There will be no emotional or physical connection, right? Besides, he is very busy, surely I will have more time alone than with him.
Alright, I've decided!
I lifted my face and looked at my grandma and Suga's parents. I swallowed hard.
"Okay, I'll get married", I replied in a trembling voice
There was a sigh of relief from my grandma. She smiled at me while holding my hand.
"Thank God," said Suga's mom
"When are we going to held the wedding?", Asked Suga's father, smiling broadly
"My schedule is very busy right now, I just have free time at the end of November", said Suga
"The end of November seems good, we still have one month. I think it will be enough to prepare everything", said Mrs. Min smiling at my grandma
"But I have some conditions, Halmoeni", said Suga
"What is it?", Asked my grandma
"I want this marriage not to be known to the public, considering my job. I just want a simple wedding, which is only attended by the closest family. Do you mind?", Asked Suga smiling
"How about you, Sofia? This is your wedding ... is it okay? this is once in a lifetime wedding, I'm sure you want your wedding to be an unforgettable moment", said my grandma looking at me with affection
"Gwaenchana (it's okay) halmoeni", I replied grimly as I kept my face down
"Alright. We'll talk about this later, I'll ask my assistant to take care of everything. I ask for your help, Mrs. Min", said my grandmother to Suga's mother
"Ye, I will do my best", replied Suga's mother
So I'm getting married in less than 30 days? Can I do it? Never mind, I think after marriage nothing will change.
There can't be anything worse than this, right?, I thought
