"It's all yours darling. You can swim in it as much as you want," Daniel wrapped his arm around my neck and messed up my hair.
I pouted and pulled out of his embrace, "Thanks for the offer, darling....but I can't swim."
"Is that so? No worries, I can teach you," He smiled.

An hour later, we finally finished touring the whole house. Yes, it took an hour. The house was just that big XD
Eomma clasped her hands together, "Well that's all there is to show– wait! I almost forgot to show you the most important part of the house....the kitchen! C'mon kids follow me," She pulled me and Daniel towards the kitchen. We chuckled at her enthusiasm and followed.
Once we got to the kitchen, we saw a posh and elegant-looking lady standing there, drinking a cup of tea. I wonder who she is.....a family member?
As our eyes met, she gave me the nastiest glare, making me flinch.
"Mind telling me who this is?" she asked Eomma and continued sipping her tea.
Mrs. Kang smiled proudly and held my shoulders, "That's right, I completely forgot to introduce her to you. This is Y/N, my lovely daughter-in-law and Daniel's future wife."
Upon hearing that, the lady spit out her drink and started choking. Daniel rushed to her side immediately, "Aunt Linda are you okay?" he asked in concern.
She cleared her throat, "I'm quite fine, thanks." She glared at me once again before speaking up, "I'm sorry but what the hell are you thinking getting the boy married at such a young age? And to a girl like this? She doesn't even look American. I'm sorry but there's just too many things wrong with this situation. I refuse to approve of her."
Awkward silence fell upon us as she said that. All of us were left speechless and uncomfortable.
"I'm sorry Linda but can I talk to you in private? Please excuse us," Eomma said and pulled the lady to another room.
After they left, Daniel crushed me into a hug right away. "Jagiya, please ignore everything she just said. She doesn't truly mean it okay? You're the perfect girl for me and you know it," he whispered and stroked my hair. I weakly nodded and returned his embrace.

Author's POV:
Mrs. Kang pulled Linda into a separate room and sighed in disappointment. "Seriously Linda? Did you really have to say all those things in front of the girl? I don't care if you approve of her or not. She's a member of our family now so please treat her with respect."
Linda scoffed, "Sorry, not gonna happen. Now I understand why you guys suddenly placed the business on hold and rushed to Korea. You went to see this girl and set up an arranged marriage, am I right?"
Mrs. Kang nodded, "Yes that's right. And the main reason we didn't tell you is because we knew you'd behave this way. So please just be a good sport and go along with it alright?"
"Never. Getting the boy married at such a young age is one thing. But arranging him to marry a native Korean girl is another. Daniel is a rich, successful young man raised in America. Don't you think he deserves an American girl? Instead of some low-life Korean commoner?"
"Linda that's enough! Y/N is not a low-life commoner! She comes from a rich family background and her parents are the CEOs of the Korean LG corporation! Furthermore, she's a very polite girl with a wonderful personality. She's perfectly suited for Daniel," Mrs. Kang retorted.
"You know what? I've had enough of this, I'm leaving. You better kick her out soon or I will," Linda threatened once more before storming out.
Mrs. Kang sighed in frustration. She knew this was going to happen. Linda had always been difficult...but she took things too far this time.

Your POV:
I was standing by the swimming pool to get some fresh air and clear my mind. Daniel was called by his father once again to attend to some business so I was left alone.
I couldn't stop thinking about what happened earlier. Whoever that lady was, she was very rude. Not to mention intimidating.
I wonder what kind of relationship she has with the Kang family..
Just then, the door opened revealing Eomma who gave me a gentle smile. "Honey, the woman back there was Daniel's Aunt Linda. She's been living with us ever since she got divorced."
"Ah I see.." I weakly replied and continued staring at the shimmering water in front of me.
Eomma sighed and placed her hand on my shoulder, "Please don't mind anything she says okay? She's usually a very nice lady but her divorce has made her a bit grouchy lately. I'm sure she'll open up to you soon....just give it some time alright?" She smiled and I nodded.
"Good. I'll be leaving now. Goodnight dear," She said and left.
I sighed and turned to face the water again. "Hopefully Eomma is right. Maybe she'll accept me eventually..."
"Keep dreaming bitch," I heard someone say behind me as I was aggressively pushed into the pool.
What the hell?!
Who pushed me?
I can't swim!
I gasped and struggled, desperately trying to swim back to the surface but failed.
As I felt myself drowning and slowly losing consciousness, the last words I heard were, "This is your first warning. Daniel isn't the one for you. You're not American. Leave now before it's too late."
