three

(what he's wearing)

✴ 🎀 ✴ 🎀 ✴

both father and daughter are finally at the restaurant. the restaurant was a very fancy one that you would normally see in kdramas. hiyyih's father reserved a private room for this meeting, to make sure the marriage is confirmed first before revealing it to the media.

for some reason, hiyyih felt anxious. she can't help but think negatively about her future husband

what if my soon-to-be husband is abusive

what if he'll hit me

what if he'll starve me to death

"hiyyih," she startled. her father looked concerned. she was so nervous, that she didn't notice she was shaking her legs so much, making the whole table shake too.

she faked a smile at her father, to tell him that she was okay. noticing that her father looked convinced, she sighed. she thought that maybe she was just overthinking, she was the one who agreed to this so she had to face it

✴ 🎀 ✴ 🎀 ✴

a few minutes later, the door to the private room opens, revealing a man who looks older than her father.

that must be my soon to be father in law

behind the old man, there was a majestic-looking guy. he was wearing all black and his hair was perfectly styled, making him look like this classic CEO from kdramas but a lot more handsome

he looks so magical

is this love at first sight?

bullshit

hiyyih didn't notice she was staring at the guy for so long until he looked at her too. hiyyih looked away, flustered. she gulped. oh, how badly she wants to palm herself.

he probably gonna think that I'm weird

hiyyih stood up, greeting both of them "hello" she said, bowing awkwardly

someone help me

"oh, this is your daughter. such a lovely girl, she looks like a princess" the old man praised her, letting out a very typical old man laugh ‘hah hah hah'

"i know, right" her father flexed, and both of the old men laughed. they gave each other the bro hug, clearly showing how close they are.

hiyyih just stood there, smiling awkwardly until her father whispered something to her "introduce yourself"

she gaped "oh right" hiyyih offered her hand to the boy "I'm bahiyyih"

to her surprise, the boy only looked at her hand and said "park jongseong" she glanced at the majestic-looking guy, no emotion to be seen

rude much

✴ 🎀 ✴ 🎀 ✴

so far the dinner is only about both of the fathers having their ‘catching up', making thought that the ‘discussion for hiyyih's marriage' was just an excuse for them to hang out.

even after the cold introduction, she really likes park jongseong for some reason

hiyyih was boringly slicing through her steak when suddenly the topic of marriage is being brought up. hiyyih thought that both of the old men had forgotten about it since they were too busy talking about something else.

"let's get back to why we are here for a second, shall we" mr park said.

"right, I almost forgot about the reason we're here" her father replied. he straightened himself as the conversation changed into something more serious

her soon to be father in law inhaled first before announcing "both of you are gonna get married"

hiyyih already knew about the reason why they were here, so she wasn't surprised about it but she didn't expect the reaction of park jongseong

"what?!" he slammed the table "you can't just marry me to some girl, i don't even know her" park jongseong said angrily

ouch

"that is why we gon-" the old man was cut off by his own son

"i won't do it" he protested. he stood up and looked at his father in disbelief

"park jongseong" the old man raised his voice, he couldn't believe how rude his son is being

the said boy didn't listen and just stormed off from the restaurant

"we'll discuss this later" mr park said before leaving the room

hiyyih sighed sadly

he must've hated me

...

jay's pov next :)
