"How are things going in the company?"
"Everything is stable, grandfather."
"As it should be. Remember, I only allowed you to go back to Korea to handle our business there."
"I am aware."
"Soon, you'll be going back here. After all, you still have a fiancée waiting for you."
Hyunjin bits his lip, "Yes, grandfather."
Hyunjins puts his phone down, uttering a heavy sigh. He placed his phone on the side and lay down on his bed. He shuts his eyes as he try to process everything that is happening in his life at the moment.
Indeed, Hwang Hyunjin's engagement is not cancelled. In fact, his fiancée is only waiting for him to come back to the States.
**FLASHBACK**
"Why exactly did you want me to come here, father?" Hyunjin questioned.
His father heaved a sigh, "Your grandfather has decided."
"For what?"
"For your future."
Hyunjin huffed in disbelief, "Father, you know I have a boyfriend back in Korea. I came all the way here to America only to discover that my future is being decided by my family?"
"Hyunjin, we both know this was supposed to happen in the first place. You're the son of the Hwang family. Of course, your grandfather will be pairing you up with someone we can benefit from for our business."
Hyunjin rubbed his temples, "Business again? Is this family all about business and shit? Just for once, can't you let your son decide for his own future?"
"As much as I want you to decide for your own future, you can't. Your grandfather refuses to."
"Why do you always follow grandfather's orders? Why can't you— for once, disagree to his decisions? What are you, a dog?"
"Hwang Hyunjin, watch your mouth."
He scoffed, "I'm being realistic here! What do you want me to do? Break up with my boyfriend just to get married with someone I literally don't know?"
His father sighed, "You can't deny the reality, Hyunjin. I know you love your boyfriend. I'm not judging him or whatsoever but— you know too well he won't be able to help you in the future."
Hyunjin crossed his arms and raised a brow, "And what makes you think that?"
"His— his social class. Unlike you, he's not a son of a wealthy family. He might—"
"He might what? Ruin my future?"
His father was left speechless, he didn't know how to explain it to his son without any misunderstandings happening.
Hyunjin scoffed in disbelief, "Father, Kim Seungmin might not be a son of a wealthy family like me but he's more than you can think of! He's the top student of our class and he's a very hard workin person who has big ambitions!"
His father shuts his eyes for a brief moment before looking back to Hyunjin and shaking his head, "I'm sorry son, but I don't get to decide this."
* * * * *
"Hyunjin, I have decided you would be marrying the daughter of the Byeon family." His grandfather stated.
Hyunjin dropped his spoon, "Grandfather, I— I can't."
"And why is that? Is it because of that shabby boyfriend of yours back in Korea."
