Not Him

“Mwo?” pekikku and Minho together, after oemma and appa told about the matchmaking that they had talked with Lee ahjumma and ahjussi.
“Nde, your grandfather and Mr. Lee's father used to be close friends. Appa and Mr. Lee have been friends since we were kids. They –kakek and appa mr. Lee- have promised to match his children later. But it turns out their children are all boys. So they passed it on to Appa and Lee ahjussi. If Lee ahjussi's son is female, and the son is male, then we will match them.” A story about his past.
“but appa... Minho is still small.” Minho then threw a gaze –what did noona mean to say I was a child to me.
“Crue? She hasn't even passed SMU.” I can't imagine if this snot boy got married that fast. When did he get married first? Andwe!
“who would want to match Minho?” ask appa relax.
“mean? Last time I said I wanted to match up a boy like Lee ahjussi's daughter?” many confused.
“But that was just a parable. Mr. Lee only has one son. Can't it be if Appa sets him up with Minho?”
“so?” I'm still confused.
“You will be betrothed to his son.” Said appa made me immediately hang – fortunately I do not have heart disease.
“Mwo?? I don't want to! it is modern age now. Appa period is still playing matches like this anyway?” reject me raw. Just imagine that I don't want to.
“you haven't met their son, try it first.who knows you'll like him.” Persuade the oemma who seemed eager to match me.
“but.” I don't know what else to say to reject it.
“tomorrow night we will have dinner together, and you will meet with Mr. Lee's son.”

“stupid??” jiyoo exclaimed furiously as I told her about the matchmaking matter. I immediately glared sharply at him, “slow your voice! You want everyone to hear it?” we are in the campus cafeteria at the moment.
“mian, mian.” It's just a whimper. “So.. how next? Are you going to accept that match?”
“Molla.. I just haven't met the man.” I sighed resignedly. How else would you like? at least I can only hope that the name that will be betrothed to me is a good man, but still I do not want. I will already like others.
“who knows he's handsome.” Smirk at me.
“But I don't know if he's good or not. Uh. If my match was Donghae sunbae, I would be the happiest person in the world.”
“basic! You really like it huh?”
I nodded vigorously, “of course!.”
Not long after, Donghae sunbae entered the canteen. He entered with his two best friends, Lee Sungmin and Lee Hyukjae. My eyes can't see him. Suddenly our gaze met.he smiled at me, a very beautiful smile.
The deg!
I can feel my heart racing very fast. Whatisthis?
Suddenly he walked over and approached me. The omo! What's he want? Is he coming for me?
He took a tissue on the table then brought it closer to my lips. “hei, there is a sauce on your lips.”
Whahuh? So. akh! Malunya I >__<
“Gomawo sunbae.” I replied with a crisp smile. How shameful I am now. Jiyoo just giggled at me.
“Cheonmaneyo! You always say thank you” he chuckles softly, then back to where his two best friends are. Many yeoja were staring strangely at me. They seem to envy me. Should I be thankful or vice versa? Donghae fans are a lot.

My heart was really not calm. Tonight I will meet him –namja who was betrothed to me. I'm ready with a purple dress that oemma thinks is so beautiful. Actually I'm not very confident, wearing this dress is really uncomfortable. Plus the highheels, really tormenting me. But I had to obey oemma. He said there was no way I could have come to the dinner with a makeshift appearance. Oemma even said, “we want dinner, not to go to the market.” Basic chatty moms -__-
“oemma, can I come?” minho asked whining at oemma.
“no! You just stay and take good care of the house!”
“Curat, noona time only invited.” Minho started to pull out his puppy eyes. Huh.. didn't realize what he was if it was that big? like a child.
“if you want to replace me please. I'll allow with pleasure.”
“hahaha.. used up you whine anyway.”
Once everything is ready, we immediately head to a restaurant that has been determined by them. During the journey I kept praying that there would be a thunderstorm tonight for this stupid matchmaking event to be canceled.

“where the hell is that kid? long time ago she.” Lee ahjussi was already very upset waiting for his son's presence. I don't know why I wish it were better if it didn't come, I feel so nervous. I held tightly to my palm that was already working. Omo. I'm so nervous.
“Calm down, maybe he's on his way here.” Lee Ahjumma tried to calm her husband.
“forgive our son for making us wait a long time like this.”
“Tak nothing. Thirty minutes too. Relax a little, we have not been together like this for a long time.just think of this as a reunion.” Appa tries to melt the atmosphere.
“right also.” Lee ahjussi nodded in agreement.
“ah, that's it!” Lee ahjumma pointed towards someone. I looked at him, too, and.. OMONA! I didn't see it wrong, did I?
A namja with a black shirt walked up to our table. “annyeong! sorry to wait so long.” he said while sitting in one of the chairs. Not forgetting that he was displaying his smile. Makes me unable to speak anymore. God, is there something wrong with my eyes?
“you were so long Donghae. rude to make people wait.” Lee ahjumma said to his son.
“mianhae, earlier traffic was very jammed.”
“ya already, now everything has gathered. Can we just start?”
“You?” Donghae looked at me with a confused face. Maybe he's confused as to why I'm here.
“annyeong sunbae.” my sap is nervous.
“you already know each other?” ask appaku.
“not also ahjussi, he's my junior at university.” Clearly what I responded with a nod. Indeed, we have met several times even at a time that is not conducive and embarrassing –for me-, but he might not know me right?
Knowing Donghae's confusion, Lee ahjussi immediately spoke up, “Hyunjin is Choi ahjussi's daughter. Do you remember the best friend who once told me first?”
“Nde, I remember.”
“you must know each other more, so that this matchmaking runs smoothly.”
“stupid? But Appa didn't say anything before!” donghae's face looked shocked. He seems surprised by this.
“you still remember the story before that time, right? Appa told you.”
“but appa..it's just grandfather's agreement. It's been a long time, why is it still going on? I don't want to! I don't even know this girl!”
“Donghae! keep your attitude!” snapped Donghae's father.
“foolish times with this matchmaking! I won't take it!” Donghae immediately stood up from his seat and walked out of the restaurant. He seems very angry.
“I'm sorry. Forgive my son like that.” Lee ahjussi looked badly at Appa.
“already Dongjin-sshi, it's okay. Children are like that, they never want to be bridled.” Appa tried as quietly as possible, he could even smile as if nothing had happened.
“but Donghae's behavior was completely outrageous.” Lee ahjussi is still exploding.
“we really feel bad for you, Hyunjin.” Now Lee ahjumma is looking at me.
“ah, it's okay ahjussi, ahjumma. I understand the feeling. Maybe I'll act like that too.” My unconscious speech that instantly got a sharp glare from both my parents.
Did ya? If the one I'm going to marry isn't Donghae Sunbae, would I have acted like Donghae just now? How dare I? I could be fired tomorrow as their son, kicked out of the house and become a homeless homeless man. Again, my imagination is excessive. My parents were not that cruel.
Eventually this matchmaking event ended in vain. My prayers were answered, but I am sorry. I didn't know the name I was going to marry was Donghae. If I knew I would pray otherwise. Maybe we'll get married and be happy forever. But it was just my empty dream.
There is still a little hope, Lee Ahjussi said that he will persuade and convince Donghae again. He said that Donghae was a obedient child to parents, let alone this matchmaking was his grandfather's request, so he would definitely want to. But I'm not too sure about that. Ahjussi would just like to cheer me up. Besides, I don't want her to agree to a match with me. It's called forced marriage. How will our home life go ahead? We may have been married for a few months and divorced. Aigo. I think too far.
