"Good morning sir." I greet Soo Young as he gets inside the hotel.

He walks towards me. "You have so many things needed to explain to me." He winks at me before he goes away.

I puff an air as I get what he means. Tsskk... Another interrogation?

"Eun Jae-ssi, the boss called you."

I get startle when my colleague pokes my back and whispers it to me.

"Waeyo?"

"Meolla? Maybe because of your absent yesterday."

"Arasseo."

I walk silently to Soo Young's office. I knock for three times before I open the door.

"Sir?" I call him when I only see his back.

He turns his swivel chair around. "Ya..." He pats me after locking his door. "Palli, tell me. I demand you to tell me."

"Ya... Oppa, it's private!" I blush when I said it.

"Aigoo... Private huh?!" He pouts. "Did he force you to do it? Did he harass you?"

I shake my head. "Aniyo! He did not do any means to force me. It's just that... I just gave in this time around. We are getting married anyway right?"

He pats my head. "Ya... What if he'll you know?"

"Know what?"

"That... Erghm... Let us say... Back out?"

My heart suddenly beats fast when I heard it. "Ya... Let's—Let's not hope for that to come." I try to erase it in my mind. "I trust him so much."

"But..." Soo Young stops and then sighs as a defeat. "Alright. I won't be talking about it. Just tell me if anything will happen, arasseo?"

I hug him. "Gomawo oppa."

He pats my back lightly. "I have another thing to discuss with you."

I raise a brow when curiosity floods in. "What is it?"

He releases a deep breath. His eyes reflect so much sadness.

"What is it oppa?" I repeat. I know he is having a serious problem basing on the way he looks.

"Can you help me Eun Jae? My parents are trying to pair me with lots of girls lately. They keep on bugging me that they want to see their only child settle down or just get a girlfriend. You know that I don't really like it. They gave me until next next month to show them my girlfriend since I told them that I already have one. They want me to show it in our hotel's anniversary party." He looks so frustrated.

"Oppa... What can I help then?"

"Will you please pretend to be my girlfriend even just that day? Please?"

I am surprise to hear it. "Mwuh? Why me?"

"Because you are the only one who knows my case."

"But... I don't—"

"Please? Just this one."

I bite my lower lips. "Can I think about it first oppa? Mianhe... Mianhe..."

He holds my hand. "Gwenchana... You still have plenty of days to think though."

"Mianhe jeongmal oppa if I can't give you an answer for today."

"Aishh... Please think it thoroughly ne?"

"Ne oppa." I give him a last hug before going out from his office.
