Marriage First, Love Later

“What? You are joking with us, right, Grandpa? I am your granddaughter, you can't possibly 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 was an old man lying on the hospital bed, asking her to marry a man 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?” Said Jacob. He's also in the same situation. The words that came out of the old man's mouth were something they never expected. It was as if, he was telling them both to die. This old man lying on the hospital bed is her grandfather. He looked pale and weak as if he would die anytime soon. “Juhee, please be a little considerate towards your grandfather. His condition is really bad right now, he might not wake

Seeing the reaction of their parents, it has become important for them to plan ahead. “Once provoked, they will go to any extent. We have to plan ahead or else they will keep interfering in our lives.” Juhee reminded Jacob of the obvious. Their parents can be very stubborn and toxic 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 everything in their power to submit the kids to 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. His mind has finally sparked with an idea. “Go ahead! I am all ears.” Juhee gave him the permission. “Come here!” He pulled her closer. Their distance is too short right now that his breath is hitting her ear, it's warm. He murmurs something in her ear and his mouth is just two centimeters away from touching her ears. To his surprise, her ears

Her aunt comes forward. “Juhee! Being Married 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 can say all this to her aunt who cares so much about her. “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 even have that?” 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 here

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 am I 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 rising in her heart for some time now. Jacob finally remembered and let her in. She was in bad condition and almost on the verge of fainting 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 that was hung on the front wall. “Boss! I think you have lost it for real. So much work piled up, all le

Juhee extended her hand and placed it on his shoulder, it was a form of sympathy from her side. She sympathizes with him for being so out of character all the time and getting weak before people because of their mere tears.She patted him several times before retreating her hand from his shoulder. " Don't whimper all alone in your office. Next time, you must remember to be careful ", She said those words with no emotion on her face.It was around the same time they started working in this hospital. Where William was all goody shoe and happy-go-lucky with everyone around him, Juhee was entirely different. She was cold and silent, only opening her mouth to speak less and more important stuff. She was someone who could even scare the gangster with her stern and cold look. " You are right, my team must be disappointed with me but now I don't know what to do next. I guess I will have to go to the director and apologize, it's the only thing I can do for now. And then wait for the punishm
