Arranged marriage

Getting to know

The next day I was waiting in front of Liz's house again. Not volunteering but more forced to. I sighed out as I remembered the small argument that I had with my parents early in the morning.

Dad: Today you will be taking Liz on a date.

Jahoon: But dad! I just saw her yesterday! Let me at least enjoy the rest of my single life before getting married!

Dad: No you can't do that. That wouldn't be good for either our or hers image, so you would do as I say and take her out.

I looked at my father in disbelief before turning to my mom with a pleading look.

Mom: I have to agree with your dad here and also you have already gotten plenty of time off your life to enjoy your single life Jahoon. You are not young anymore! You are already 25 years old!

Jahoon: But mom! Dad!

Mom & dad: No buts! You! Liz! Date today! That's it!

Jahoon: Where is she?! I have been standing here for almost 20 minutes!

I looked at my watch to see that she was late. We originally planned to begin our date at 10 am but now it is already 10:20 am and before you say anything about "it is only 20 minutes" then I would have to tell you that 20 minutes is a lot in the business world and a lot can be during that time. And even a bit of tardiness could lead to a loss of an agreement with another company. That could lead to a big loss in your revenue and then-

Liz: Jahoon unnie! I'm sorry that I'm late!

I looked up from my watch to see Liz sprinting from her house towards me. As soon as she was near me, she decided to trip making me have to catch her.

Liz: Thank you-

Liz looked up to look at me but due to the position we were in right now, our faces were only a few inches away from each other. I could feel her hot breath hitting my face. I helped her back up on her feet and fixed my clothes before looking at her again. This time her face was red. She must really be a bad runner and in a bad fit to be this exhausted from just running a few meters.

Jahoon: Come on. Get in the car, we are already late for today.

I opened the car door for her. When she was getting inside, I could see her almost hitting her so I placed my hand between the car door and her head.

Liz: Thank you unnie~

I cleared my throat and acted like I didn't care. I closed the door and sighed. What in the world am I feeling right now? Why do I care about her like that? I don't like her, it just because I'm a great and caring person. Yeah, that is all.

Liz: Unnie? Are you okay?

Jahoon: Yeah yeah. I'm fine.

I hopped into the car and drove to the first destination of our date.

Liz: An amusement park?

Jahoon: I had to bring you on a date but I have never been on one before so I had to search on the internet to our where people go on dates. I have also looked at what the people are doing in those locations. I found places with good food to eat and made a plan for today so we can know where to go, when and how long time we spend there so we won't be late for anything or miss anything.
