" What? Grandpa! You are joking with us, right? I am your granddaughter, how can you choose my fate and not give me the chance? "Juhee was furious, her face became all red due to anger after hearing what the old man said. It was really unexpected and abnormal, something that she never expected in her whole life. In front of her, the old man was lying on the hospital bed, asking her to marry a man who she doesn't like, it made no sense to her." She is right. We don't like each other, there's no affection between us, how can you ask us to marry each other when there's no love? ", Jacob on the other hand was in the same situation.The words which came out of the old man's mouth were something that they had both never thought of. It was as if, he was telling the two youngsters to go and hang themselves to the tallest tree, it was impossible.The man lying on the hospital bed was her grandfather. He looked pale, not in a great condition as if he was about to die." Juhee, speak after se
The way she spoke those words, the room temperature dropped to negative, she was worried about him and wanted to listen to no nonsense. No one spoke another word to her after seeing how scared she was. The old didn't want to go to the hospital as he was just acting to make bee granddaughter marry someone. But now that he succeeded, he wanted to stop acting and tell her everything.But in front of her damn hot personality, he was useless at the moment. Seeing how furious she was, no one dared to tell her that everything was just a drama. They let him go to the hospital while following the ambulance.She was already married, there was nothing thay could happen now.Jacob was well aware of her bad personality and how daring she can be. After all, he has been seeing her since childhood. His parents know well how dangerous she can be when furious. So it's better to just leave her alone until she calms down. So they let her alone until she comes back and talks about it herself.She went
Seeing how their parents were reacting, it became important for them to plan ahead. " Once provoked, they will go to any extent. We have to think of something. If not, they will keep interfering in our lives ", Juhee reminded Jacob.Their parents can be very stubborn at times. No, they have always been stubborn. On one side they say they won't force their children into doing anything that's against their will, yet on the other hand, they try to do the same to their kids. So now...it became really important to think of something to stop them." I have an idea. Of course, if you approve of it, we can proceed further, it depends on you ", Jacob said touching his chin." Go ahead! I am all ears ", She was ready to hear his idea." Come here ", He pulled her towards her and then leaned close, he was so close that his breath was hitting her ear, it was warm.He started telling her his idea, his mouth was just two centimetre away from touching her ears. And for some reason, he could see he
Juhee glared at him but a smile remained on her face, she was surely being sarcastic in this one.Lucas smiled like a smart kid who knows everything despite her words. " I understand, Sister in law ".He didn't understand anything. She told him not to call her sister in law, yet he called her knowing she doesn't like it. It was fun and all to him." You are surely stubborn. Fine! I understand it. Next time you come to the hospital, make sure you are really sick ", She whispered into his ear while giving him devilish feelings. The smile on Lucas's fade faded the moment she mentioned about his constant visit to the hospital.Lucas shut his mouth and even wanted to make amends with her, but ignored him with a straight face, it's calming to the soul to see him in despair." Juhee...", Lucas tried to talk with her but she slipped towards Jacob and smirked at him." He shut his mouth so easily? He is the most annoying one of us, how did you do that? ", Jacob asked as he whispered to her.
Her aunt came forward. " Juhee! Marriage is not something you should be ashamed of. It's a blessing that everyone wants ", Her aunt is a devoted wife.She loves her husband a lot, they had a love marriage. unlike Juhee and Jacob who were tied to each other because of their family, it was not the same. But there's no way Juhee could say all this to her aunt who cares so much about her niece." Aunt! I know what you mean. But everything happened so suddenly, we both got no time to react. We want some time to think. Can't we have that right? ", Juhee sounded sad, it was pitiful that she was sad right now.Her aunt was a little taken aback. Juhee had never sounded this frustrated before. From what the old woman knows, Juhee has always been a quiet kid, the one who doesn't get angry or sad, always maintaining her personality and expression in front of others.So it was surprising to see her helplessly doing nothing.At this time, Jacob stepped in with her side. " Aunt! Grandpa and everyone
Jacob was standing by the entrance, keeping tabs on the door as his right foot was tapping the floor in nervousness and anxiousness as he was waiting for her, and his eyes were fixed on a large door located at the entrance. It was already past nine, yet there was no trace of her anywhere." Why isn't she here yet? Don't tell me she got lost in the way ", The thought crossed his mind when he recalled how much of a bad memory she has when it comes to recalling directions and locations. He immediately stormed out of the house and just when he was about to run out of the building, he saw her coming, she was walking from the front towards him. She saw him being in a rush and heading somewhere while worry was written all over his face, she wondered who was the person making him feel like that. But that thought soon disappeared when she saw his facial expression change to calm from restlessness.Jacob stopped, maintained his straight posture, and started walking toward her at a normal pac
He opened the door. But what he saw at the entrance was none other than his secretary, Amber." Amber? What are you doing here at this hour? ", Jacob asked.Amber was as pale as a white paper sheet. It was as if she had hurried here without caring for anything. And when she heard his boss say what she was doing here, she lost it." What I am doing here? My dear boss, ask that question to yourself. You told me to pick up an expensive suit for you for tomorrow's meeting and deliver it to you before midnight. Have you forgotten? ", Amber was legit controlling her anger which had been raising in her heart for some time now.Jacob finally remembered and let her in, she was in a bad condition and almost on the verge to faint but had to keep herself in check since she had to go back home after this as well." What took you so long to get my suit prepared? ", Jacob asked looking at the clock which was hung on the front wall." Boss! I think you have lost it for real. So much work piled up, al
Juhee was tired from all the cleaning that the moment she laid her head on the surface of the sofa, her eyes gave up on her.And now Jacob was trying to wake her up as she was deep in slumber in the dark hole. No matter how much he call her, she didn't mind, her mind didn't respond at all. As if there was nothing that was stopping her from getting a good night's sleep.She was usually a light sleeper, but today was an exception. Jacob tried shaking her many times and called out her name numerous times just to fail in the end.He rubbed the back of his head while there was only one option left since she was not waking up, there was nothing he could do rather than that." It's you who forced me to do this, don't blame me tomorrow ", Jacob complained as he stood straight and then bent down suddenly, holding her lightly in his arms only to start walking towards the empty room he had prepared for her. He was cleaning that room from the afternoon to the evening.He was holding her into his
" You called me because you can't decide what to wear, is it? ", She questioned calmly but he could feel the storm in her voice." Yeah! I am confused. Why is it so hard to choose what to wear? ", He sounded genuinely sad and frustrated.She looked at Brian who turned around to see why she stopped, she just opened her palm and showed her two fingers, index and middle while all fingers closed. Telling him to wait for two minutes. Brian nodded to her and leaned back to the pillar behind him, folded his hand together, and looked straight." You are calling me for such a small matter? God damn, who the hell used to choose your outfit before me? "she, asked all paranoid.When he wasn't married to her, who the hell used to help her in choosing an outfit or he was just throwing a tantrum just now because he can't stand Brian?" Umm! Amber...it was her who had this job. Just...just help me already, or else I am going to get late ", He said.He is the kind of person who wants to look good but
When she came out of the hotel room after getting ready for work, he was standing in front of the room with some food takeaway in his hands, he was about to ring the door when she came out." You already ready for work? Oh, here you go. You must be an empty stomach right now, have something before you go ", He passed the bag in her hand, and he forced his way." Thank you for the food ", She smiled at him." Alright, you go to work, I will see you tonight ", He said looking at the time.Juhee just nodded and then made her way out of the hotel, Brian was waiting for her outside the hotel.After seeing her coming out, he opened the door for her, " My lady, please get in "." Thank you, Mr. Brian ", Juhee just smiled at him politely as she got in the car. Brian then went to the other side, opened the front seat door, and went in, he was her driver for today and also her guide to making her comfortable around the hospital when working with his colleagues.Hawaii is a city that is always
They both had pretty smile on their faces while shaking hands. But for some reason, Jacob refused to let go, he kept on handshaking while Brian gave him a weird look and then glance at the hands.Juhee saw it, she looked at Jacob's smile and then his hands. She then held his hand. " Jacob, it's enough ", Juhee said with a smile that clearly stated that he should let go now.Jacob let go and smiled at them even wider. His smile had a hidden meaning, scaring Juhee for some reason. Brian got into the car, the driver's seat. He thought Juhee would take a front seat beside him. But Jacob pushed away her from the front door, " The view from the backseat is too beautiful for my blind eyes, please enjoy the scenery ".Juhee just went all speechless, " What's gotten into this guy? He kept on acting strange since earlier ", She sneered and sat in the backseat.Brain gave Jacob an awkward smile and drove the car to the apartment." Miss Juhee, did you get the schedule already? ", Brian asked."
Juhee was just teasing him. No matter how much of a messy person he was, there's no way he wasn't a good cook. Yeah, sometimes he has extra msg in food, but if minute thay point, he was really good in anything he does.Juhee took the first chance at testing his cooking. She just took a bite but then look at him with all the suspense in her eyes, his heartbeat dropped for a moment there. " How's it? "." Umm! It's...delicious ", Juhee smiled at him.He brimmed with a highlighted big smile and wanted to hug her but stepped back knowing she would just kick him down there if he is violet her in any way.It was his turn now, he picked up the spoon from the spoon shelf installed at the center of the dining table, gave her many glances before even dipping the spoon inside the plate, and finally took a spoonful. When the spoon reached his mouth, the buttery and delicious aroma kicked into his nose through two holes, he felt drooling and took a bite out of it.As expected from Juhee, her cooki
As she was walking to the apartment building, someone called her from behind. When she looked back, it was Jacob standing behind her. " Wanna go shopping? ", He asked as he walked to her." Let's return first, then we will go ", Juhee agreed." Hmm! Seems fair ", Jacob nodded his head.The both of them returned home together. This is the first time they came home at the same time and met outside the building.For some reason, this feels great to return together while they talk and laugh with each other on the way.They returned home, got changed, and then decided to head to the grocery store directly. Juhee checked the fridge this morning, there was so little left that even if Jacob had not mentioned shopping for groceries, she would have done it herself.Both headed to the grocery store and shopped for the ingredients they needed in the house." I want to eat those spicy potato chips, these are the variant that has just launched ", Said Jacob.He is obsessed with street and junk foo
After hearing him, she asked herself, are they seriously on the same page? Doesn't seem so. Because he is talking about something else and she was talking about something else. " Wait, hold on, stop there. I don't need your advice, suggestions, or lectures anymore. It doesn't bother me anyway. We are on a different page, bro. Just keep it there ", Juhee said as she stopped him from talking any further about the matter.No matter how unapproachable she is, she can't be this bad. Well, he is right, she is that way, she can't defend against him or prove herself right, the best option was to shut his mouth, which she already did." You never listen anyway, no use opening my mouth in front of you. Anyway, you heard it, right? Doctor Betty is getting married in two months, you should go and congratulate her, try to lessen the distance between you guys. It's always hard to see you two being so cold to each other for no reason ", William suggested again.She was ridiculed by his choice of wo
" We can shoot two birds with a single stone arrow, what do you say? ", She expressed her presence of mind in front of him. Their families are too stubborn, if they get to know the kids haven't gone for a honeymoon, they will surely interfere. It's okay for the family to be worried for their family members, but too much care sometimes brings disasters. Juhee's work doesn't allow any kind of disturbance. And her family doesn't understand this." Hmm! I guess the opportunity has arrived at the right time, we should do this. So when is your schedule? ", Jacob didn't argue this time and agreed to her arrangements." I haven't gotten the exact date and time yet. My mentor will inform me in a day or two "." Alright then, on your command ", Jacob winked.He was all cheery and confident right now. Looks like he forgot how he was acting drunk last night. Even though she wants to see him fluster side, but then lets go of this opportunity seeing how good a mood he was right now, it's better t
Jacob woke up with a startle. The first thing he did after waking up grabbed his hair and pluck them hard, trying to get rid of all the hair on his head in frustration. " What did I do yesterday? How can I be such a childish person? ", He screamed in embarrassment.He remembered everything he did yesterday, every little thing. He looked at the mirror on the side and started throwing his legs in the air. " I never get this drunk, why did I have to drink so much yesterday? Why? ", Jacob was throwing a blanket and his legs in the air in both frustration and embarrassment. " It would have been better if I didn't remember anything I did yesterday. At least then I would have had the scope to use that legendary method to get rid of this embarrassment ", Said Jacob as he smashed his head on his knees. His focus came to his forehead by then, there was a cute bandaid applied on his forehead, the place where there was a small bump. Now he wants to bury himself in a big hole and hide from Ju
Juhee returned home quite late at night and the first thing she saw upon returning was drunk Jacob banging his head on the side wall like some little kid who failed to get his favorite lollipop.Juhee throw the purse to the side and returned to his side. " Jacob, are you drunk? ", She asked.Hearing the familiar voice, he quickly turned to face her, a silly smile on her face while cheeks flushed red, an amusing sight, he looked silly." I am not drunk ", He stumbled and fell on her shoulder, still smiling like a silly kid." Why do I feel like I am catering to a little child ", Juhee shook her head and hold his head gently, making him stand still and face her." How much did you drink to get drunk? As a businessman, you should always take care of your body. Who knows how many enemies you have including me, they will take advantage of you ", Juhee couldn't help but scold his drunk personality.Jacob became upset after hearing her as if he didn't like something she said. He pouted heavi
