“Despite having heard that until my ears were numb, the fact that my mother still relentlessly arranges these meetings means she wants to see her youngest son marry a woman who grew up in a similar environment at all costs.”
“……”
“So I’ve decided to marry. I don’t want to have these kinds of meetings anymore, and if the only way to prevent that is marriage, I figured I might as well just marry.”
Su Yeon bit her lip in silence.
Seo In Ho was not only a top actor representing Korea, but also the son of the TK Group, which ranked within the top five in business.
This meant he was a perfect man with conditions far too different from Choi Su Yeon, who was not even a biological daughter in her family that couldn’t even rank within the top ten.
But when she listened to his words, she somehow thought their situations were quite similar.
At least in the aspect of having to marry against their will due to family pressure, they were strikingly similar.
She had thought such pressure was something only people like her, who had to marry due to necessity and a purpose, would experience……
“I won’t promise to only make you happy, because I can’t guarantee that. But I will promise this one thing.”
“……”
“I’ll try my best. I’ll do everything I can to make sure that Choi Su Yeon does not regret choosing to marry me.”
Su Yeon blinked like a fool at the ongoing proposal.
Thump, thump.
Her heart pounded even harder than when she had heard his marriage proposal before.
As if she would fall to some unknown bottom if she let her guard down even for a moment, it pounded uncontrollably.
Even though she knew she had to answer him, she couldn’t say a word.
Thoughts that filled her mind wandered and roamed aimlessly.
So his point was that these meetings hindered his work, and if marriage could make everyone comfortable, he’d decided to just do it……
When her thoughts reached that point, Su Yeon cautiously nodded.
It should be okay.
He had a purpose in this marriage too.
Just like how her purpose of escaping from her family could be achieved through this marriage, he could also achieve a more conducive environment for his work through this marriage.
Shouldn’t that be okay?
But even as she thought this, Su Yeon’s heart pounded nervously as if she had done something wrong.
For a long while, she only stared at the tips of her fingers hidden under the table, and then slowly nodded.
It was a timid gesture for a response to a proposal.
But In Ho raised the corners of his mouth as if satisfied.
Seeing the man’s smile alone made her feel as if her body had hardened in an instant.
Unaware of this, In Ho extended his hand towards her.
“Good. Let’s set the date for the formal meeting as soon as possible. There won’t be any need to worry about preparing for the wedding since it will proceed on its own without Choi Su Yeon or me needing to step in. Our mother will take off her shoes and run around.”
“……”
“Even though it’s an unusual marriage, let’s do our best.”
It was a handshake that came with an incredibly cheesy remark.
Yet why did her heart flutter so much that she could only take his hand after a long while?
The forceful hands of the man and woman shook in the air a few times before falling without hesitation.
That was it.
It could have been a special moment, perhaps even odd, but Su Yeon still couldn’t forget the excitement she felt that day.
Even now, when he’s become an indifferent husband that makes her heart hurt, Su Yeon vividly remembers In Ho from that day.
A moment of happiness that was rare in her life.
So even after a long time, it was a day that she could not forget.
‘Yes. I had a day when I was so excited I didn’t know what to do.’
Su Yeon emerged from her thoughts and glanced at In Ho’s face next to her.
After that day, the wedding preparations went smoothly, and her life, which always seemed to be on the edge, seemed to be decorated with somewhat ordinary daily life.
It could not have been anything but winning the lottery.
Seo In Ho, who suddenly entered her life one day, was a fortune that would never come again.
That is, until the fact that she was adopted was discovered.
Su Yeon was lucky enough to be adopted into the Tae Shin group, but she was not happy.
But it was still incredibly lucky that she was adopted into the Tae Shin group.
At least she had a warm place to sleep, she could fill her stomach with luxury food, and she could study without worrying about money.
She hadn’t even thought about adoption.
She never thought that the first fortune in her life would grip her ankle so horribly now.
Only her adoptive parents, Su Jin, and the head of the orphanage knew that she was adopted.
When she was adopted by the Tae Shin group, Su Yeon completely laundered her status, and no one suspected that Su Yeon was not the biological daughter of the Tae Shin group.
The day her secret life was exposed was just another normal day.
It was a bolt from the blue, and later it was said that Su Jin’s small slip of the tongue was the beginning of all these troubles.
Even now, Su Yeon doesn’t understand why Su Jin hates her so much.
Ever since she was young, Su Jin was only satisfied when she monopolized the love of her adoptive parents, and on the days when Su Yeon was faintly smiling, Su Jin would throw tantrums all day and torment her.
Every day was irrational.
But her adoptive parents didn’t care if it was about Su Jin, and their educational views did not change even if the other party was Su Yeon.
All Su Yeon could do was to bear and endure, even if it was unreasonable.
She repeated crying and falling asleep every day, but she comforted herself.
Originally, it was a life that was thrown away by her biological parents as soon as she was born, and it was a thankful thing that an unintended family came to her.
She gave everything Su Jin coveted, and did not hesitate to sacrifice for Su Jin.
She dared to say that Su Yeon has not wanted or hoped for anything since she became the daughter of the Tae Shin group.
Until that day.
That is, until the day she met In Ho.
“What are you looking at like that?”
While she was lost in thought for a while, suddenly In Ho’s voice came out.
Su Yeon shuddered her shoulders and looked at In Ho with belatedly focused eyes.
In Ho was unbuckling his seat belt and looking at her.
“Let’s get out. We’re here.”
Only then did Su Yeon realize that the van had stopped in front of their newlywed house.
She unbuckled her seat belt belatedly and in a fluster. Then suddenly the car door opened wide.
What filled her shocked and dilated pupils was the figure of In Ho.
He was looking at her with his usual expression and reaching out his hand.
Just like the first day she saw him.
“Hold on.”
Just like that day, Su Yeon blankly looked at the man’s hand stretched out in front of her.
“….”
This was it.
The first thing she ever coveted.
What she earnestly desired and wished for with all her heart.
Seo In Ho’s warm hand.
The sincere look in Seo In Ho’s eyes.
Seo In Ho.
He was the first person Su Yeon ever coveted.
