"Why are you here?" Tzuyu coldly ask Mingyu, not even greeting him back.
"Your mom called me babe" Mingyu said causing Tzuyu to roll her eyes in annoyance.
"Can you not call me bab---"
A sound of car's honk stops Tzuyu from talking and it's from familiar looking limousine. The two stares at the limousine in front of them.
The limo's windshield went down revealing the face of Tzuyu's mother, who smiled sweetly at the two.
"Tzuyu sweetie~ Mingyu dear~ come inside the car" Tzuyu's mom said as the driver opened the door to let them in.
The whole ride was full of talking, more like a reunion but only Mrs. Chou did all the talking. Mrs. Chou can clearly see that the two are like strangers now. Her daughter really did a great job ignoring Mingyu.
The three arrived at the Chou Mansion and was greeted by the maids to take the belongings of Mrs. Chou.
"Any minute now and your father will arrive Mingyu-ah so I will go to the kitchen and help the maids in preparing lunch. You guys can hang-out for a while, okay? " Mrs. Chou said but before she could completely turn her back, a hand on her wrist stops her.
"I-I will help you in preparing, Mom. Let me change my clothes first" Tzuyu said and she immediately climb on the grand stairs and went to her room.
Tzuyu's mom just sigh and smile sadly at Mingyu.
"Kwaenchana Mrs. Chou. I'll just watch tv in the living room" Mingyu said as she just nod in response before going to kitchen.
Minutes passed and finally Mr. Kim arrived and the lunch is finally cooked with the help of Mrs. Chou and Tzuyu. The four are at the dining room. They are currently eating their lunch.
"Mingyu-ah, how is it after arriving back here in Korea? It's been weeks right? " Mrs. Chou ask.
"Nae. At first I feel weird because I've been staying in Taiwan for almost 4 years. But now I'm okay, I adjust quickly" Mingyu said, he felt that someone is stare at him and caught Tzuyu looking at him who immediately avoid his eye contact and revert back on eating her lunch.
"Good. I'm glad you can still speak Korean fluently, Mingyu-ah" Mrs. Chou said as she laughed together with the Kims.
The rest of the conversation was Mrs. Chou and Mr. Kim talking and sometimes the two joins their conversation but mostly the two just eat or listen to them.
After eating their lunch, the four proceed to the living room. At this moment is the time that Tzuyu don't want to deal again.
"Tzuyu-ah and Mingyu-ah. We decided that you guys are engaged again. I know this was announced last four years but because of some personal issue the engagement was cancelled." Mrs. Chou said as she keep on glancing at her daughter and his soon-to-be son in law.
"We also already decided that the marriage will happen when Tzuyu already aged 18 and you son aged 19. I know both of you are still young but we already agreed to this." Mr. Kim continued to talk.
He's tone of talking is unlike his usual cheerful voice.
"May I ask a question? "Tzuyu ask at the two adults.
She may sound calm but inside all she think is stop this nonsense. The calm face of Kim Mingyu really annoyed her even more.
"About this marriage. Is it not necessary that the two engaged people agree or disagree? I think we also have the right to decide" Tzuyu tone becomes barely heard as she tried her best not to cry.
'How come my sweet mother and cheerful Mr. Kim that she knows suddenly become like a stone cold people? Didn't they think of my feelings? ' Tzuyu thought as she stare at her clenched hands on her lap.
There's a minute of silence at the dining room. Tzuyu keep her head low, not aware of the two adults exchange look to Mingyu.
"I'm sorry sweetie but it's already decided and remember that you agreed to this last 4 years. Please just give this a chance, Tzuyu-ah" Mrs. Chou said in a soft and pleading tone.
Her mother is most likely begging to her but for Tzuyu it's still a big no. Her mother knows what happened and now she's like in front of her daughter forcing her to be hurt again.
"But mom---"
"Your father expected this marriage to happen, Tzuyu-ah" and this made Tzuyu to stop what she was about to say.
Her father is someone she can't just dare to disobey.
"We will talk later, sweetie. Are you fine with it?" Tzuyu nod in agreement as she's now staring blankly on her still clenched fist.
"Well, how about you Mingyu-ah? Do you have anything to say? " Mrs. Chou ask Min gyu that makes Tzuyu lift her head a little. Waiting for the man beside her to disagree.
'I'm 100% sure that he will also be against this marriage. Well, this guy is the one who cancelled our engagement before, that's why I'm confident that this marriage will never happe--'
"Nae. I agreed on this marriage, Mrs. Chou and this time it will happen" Mingyu said.
The way he said those words is not like he's force to instead it is genuine and calm. Tzuyu was surprised on what Mingyu said. Her hope to break the arrange marriage decreases. She just stare wide eyed on the guy beside her.
"Well, I can't wait to call you 'daughter' again, Tzuyu-ah" Mr. Kim said excitedly. He then glance at his watch as his eye wided in surprise.
"Oh! Well I think I have to go back to the university now. I still have a meeting with the school personnel about our upcoming activity next week. " Mr. Kim stood up on his seat together with Mingyu and bowed politely to the two Chou.
"We will be going Mrs. Chou and Tzuyu. Thank you for the delicious meal. We really appreciate it" Mingyu said
"You're welcome. Please let me and Tzuyu walk with you two at entrance" Mrs. Chou said as she also stood up. She look at her daughter to do the same. Tzuyu obeyed.
The Kims bowed again in farewell as they climb back on the limousine.
"Also, don't forget to attend the Danbok Day!" Mr. Kim cheerfully said to Mrs. Chou before he closed the door.
---
"Mom, is this really true? Dad agreed to this again?" Tzuyu ask as she's about to cry. Mrs. Chou hug her daughter.
"Yes sweetie. But please give Mingyu-ah another chance. I know he loves you dear" Mrs. Chou said as Tzuyu let go of the hug.
"That's ridiculous mom. Who cancelled the engagement four years ago? It's him. That's why please help me. Help me to make this marriage get cancelled. Jeball eomma" Tzuyu said as her eyes now full of tears stares at her mother.
"Do you still love him?"
"No"
"Don't lie to me, Tzuyu. You're still hurt up until now about what happened years ago means you still have feelings for him. You still love him, right?" Mrs. Chou softly said as she use her thumb to wipe the flowing tears on her daughter's cheeks.
Tzuyu just hug her mother. She cried even more on the arms of her mother until she fell asleep. Lucky for Mrs. Chou that they have there conversation on Tzuyu's room. Tzuyu was already seating on her bed together with her mother who sat on the edge. Mrs. Chou let her daughter's body lay on the bed and hover her body on the blanket.
"He will never hurt you again, dear. He loves you and will never do the same mistake again. Sleep well sweetie" Mrs. Chou said but not that loud to avoid waking up her daughter. She kiss her daughter on the forehead before she walk out on her daughter's room.
