“If you’re so ungrateful, we won’t do anything more for your mother.”
Mi-hyeon’s situation made Yeonju anxious. The hospital bills were beyond her ability to handle alone.
Thinking of her mother’s face lying in the hospital, she couldn’t refuse.
Finally, Yeonju lowered her head.
“Okay. I’ll go on the matchmaking date.”
Until her mother woke up, she had to comply with their wishes. Once her mother awoke… she believed she would be free from everything.
After that day, Yeonju went on matchmaking dates as Kyung-ok wanted. If one failed, Kyung-ok would prepare another.
Every weekend, dressed in overly fancy and mature clothes, Yeonju sat like a doll at matchmaking spots.
Fortunately or unfortunately, each prospective partner rejected her, mostly because marrying Yeonju didn’t seem to offer significant business benefits.
When Yeonju failed at matchmaking, Kyung-ok furiously scolded her, hurling insults and abusive words.
“How unattractive must you be for every man to reject you!”
“If you’re insignificant, shouldn’t you at least try to captivate a man’s heart? If you fail to do so, know that your mother’s medical expenses will also vanish!”
Yeonju’s face darkened as she reminisced about her painful past.
The days she spent with Kyung-ok after Mi-hyeon’s accident were an unending sequence of torment she wished never to recall.
Yet, ironically, it was Kyung-ok’s forced matchmaking that led her to meet Jin-wook. Whether that was misfortune or a blessing, she wasn’t sure.
Yeonju gazed out the window. The streets were adorned with reds and yellows… vibrant autumn leaves created a breathtaking scene.
The day she first met Jin-wook had been filled with such beautiful colors too.
It was a warm Saturday afternoon in autumn when Yeonju went on yet another arranged meeting.
Yeonju sat in a hotel restaurant, dressed up for the matchmaking. Her face, fixed towards the window, looked somber. Her eyes lacked energy, her complexion was lifeless, and her shoulders drooped heavily as if carrying a massive weight.
As the matchmaking continued, Yeonju thought it might be better to marry early if she had to do it Kyung-ok’s way anyway. It would spare her from Kyung-ok’s terrible insults and provide her with a space away from that family.
But even that didn’t go as planned, leaving Yeonju feeling frustrated and exhausted.
Particularly, today’s matchmaking partner was someone she had no chance with from the start.
“Sit through the meeting, but don’t hope for anything. He’s not the one for you anyway.”
Kyung-ok had no expectations either, knowing that today’s partner was the grandson of LM Group, a leading domestic and international construction conglomerate, far beyond Yeonju’s family in status and wealth.
Yeonju checked the time. It was precisely 1:00 PM, the scheduled time for the meeting.
Just then, a man entered the café. Yeonju watched him, momentarily losing herself.
The man, impeccably dressed in a black suit, was tall with chiseled features.
His broad, angular shoulders looked confident and his strides were graceful and dignified, reminiscent of a runway model.
The man captured the attention of everyone in the café. His perfection left people in awe, exuding a strong yet elegant charm, and an aura unapproachable.
His steps halted right in front of Yeonju.
“Are you Kang Yeonju?”
His deep voice resonated in her ears. Yeonju looked up.
“Yes, I am Kang Yeonju. And you are…?”
“I’m Cha Jin-wook, the one you’re meeting today.”
Yeonju was taken aback, realizing that this man was her matchmaking partner, Cha Jin-wook.
She stood up and bowed slightly.
“Hello, nice to meet you.”
“It’s not the first time we’re meeting, as far as I know.”
His cryptic comment puzzled Yeonju, but before she could inquire, he moved to sit across from her.
Yeonju and Jin-wook sat facing each other at the rectangular table.
Jin-wook’s face was even more striking up close. His thick eyebrows stretched long, and his dark eyes seemed endlessly deep.
The pronounced bridge of his nose and the sharp lines of his jaw were as exquisite as a sculpture.
As Yeonju observed Jin-wook’s face, she realized the already slim chances of success for this matchmaking plummeted even further.
Given the disparity in their family backgrounds and his flawless appearance, the likelihood of this perfect man taking a liking to her was almost zero.
The tea they ordered arrived. In front of Jin-wook was a strong Americano, and in front of Yeonju, a herbal tea.
Feeling obliged to do at least the basic introductions despite the foregone conclusion of the matchmaking, Yeonju began to speak.
“I’m twenty-two years old, currently studying at Hankook University. My major is business administration, and I have a keen interest in the history of art, so I’m minoring in…”
“Ms. Kang’s father must be quite desperate,” Jin-wook interrupted, bringing the coffee cup to his lips. “Sending his daughter, who hasn’t even graduated university, to a matchmaking.”
Yeonju’s eyes quivered slightly at his words.
When the male lead is punished by carrying the female lead’s child and having periods like a woman
“I’ve given birth to two children for you, yet you still think about him.
Was I nothing but his substitute to you from beginning to end?”
