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 here, I know you all care for us both, and it's expected of you to worry for your kids. But I hope, you will stop meddling in our business from now on ", Jacob said. His words came out pretty rude, not something everyone expected from him, and unpleasant to the ears.His parents became sad to hear that. They only have one child, now even though he was against them, this was not what they had in mind." Son! How can you talk to your elders in this tone? You know full well how much everyone cares for you two. All we are doing right now is for the betterment of you ", Said his mother as she cupped his face in her both hands with affection.It could be seen in her voice that she was hurt. But there was nothing Jacob could do right now. Yes, he loves his parents. But they were going too far right now." You said marry each other, we went against. You tricked us, we fell into it. And now that you have already succeeded in your plan, you want to go even further. We won't ask you for impossible demands, but leave us alone ", He said in a serious and strict tone.He said nothing all this time because he didn't want to come out too strong and cold on others, but the situation was different right now.He expects them to leave him alone for just once.The old man was hearing all this. To be honest, he is the honorable person in the family and the elder respected by everyone. But...just like how he was scared of his late wife, Juhee always give him the same vibe. He fears no one, but his granddaughter who's exactly like her grandma.Juhee went to her old man. " Grandpa! I have never asked you for anything until now, but I am going to right now. I don't want any grand or lavish wedding, and this is my final decision. If you all try to play any trick again, I will leave this country along with her ".Jacob said in a cold tone.Just because he pretends to be soft, doesn't mean anyone can take advantage of him." Alright! As you say, we will leave you alone ", Said the old man." I am glad you understand me. Since the proposal of coming here has been fulfilled, I should take my leave ", he said to Jacob and then looked at Juhi as he nodded his head." Thank you all for coming here and celebrating this day with us. Jacob and I should go back now. Bye-bye...".Jacob and Juhee gave them no chance to speak anything and stridden off from there immediately.Both families were stunned but there was nothing they could do in the situation.Lucas looked at everyone as they were looking at the newly married couple disappearing slowly. " Grandpa! These two are running away, won't you be doing anything? ", Lucas asked.The old man shook his head as a long sigh escape his mouth. " They both are like sleeping tigers and triggers. The less we disturb them, the better it is. Indeed, we went overboard this time, but more than this and they will become rebellious. Can't take that risk ".Outside of the mansion.They both took a sigh of relief after coming out from that dangerous place. " A little more and I would have suffocated back in there, you are smart to come up with this idea of threatening them ", Juhee gave him a big thumbs up while trying to maintain her breath at the normal speed, she was too nervous back there that her breathing became uneven back in there." That's how you tackle difficult people ".After coming out, both of them decided to take a short walk around until they reach the bus stop.Now that they were out already, further preparation needed to be done. " When should I move in? ", Juhee asked." Tonight ", Jacob answered.They were newly wed now, so it was important for them to stay in the same house. Living in different places might result in extreme circumstances for their families. And that should never happen.They avoided the topic of the grand wedding for the time being but it won't take their families any longer to catch on suspicion if Juhee and Jacob are to stay separated from each other.Juhee agreed with his arrangements. " Alright! Tonight it is then. And...clean up my room, I don't like to live in a messy place ", She reminded him time and again how she was a clean freak who doesn't like dirt lying in her surrounding." Sure! I will wait for you ", Jacob agreed.Since Jacob came with his family to her house, he didn't bring his car. And Juhee took a taxi on her interval. That was the reason why they need to take buses to go to their destination.Both of them separated after coming to the bus stop.The same day, 9. PM.Jacob was standing at the entrance, looking at the time on his wristwatch as it was already nine and the woman was yet to arrive." Didn't she say 9. pm? What is taking her so long? ".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
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
Jacob was clear about his decision. From the moment they signed a contract with the other party, there was no moment when they took advantage of that party or made any unreasonable demands. Communication and business were as transparent as water. Even when their orders were going through, the price was reasonable and profitable. So there was no need for Jacob to bow down to them. But he needs to handle this matter with care.Amber nodded her head and put down the file on the table as she sat down opposite him, facing him face to face while her hands reached her chin and elbows supported by the table surface, her gaze was fixed on him. There was so much on her mind. Yesterday, she decided not to meddle in his personal life. But she, as a secretary, needs to know about his secret to cooperate or help him shortly.Jacob sensed a tiny bit of strangeness in the air and lifted his head, just to see that Amber was staring at him while being extremely silent. " If you have anything to say,
It was exactly 7 pm when Juhee returned home. But then recalled that Jacob had yet to give her the door password. She told him this morning in the note to message her the relevant information regarding the house. But looking at the situation, it looked like she needed to call him again to ask him for the password. She called him countless times regarding this matter, but he didn't pick up the calls. " This guy...I already told him to give me the door password. What am I supposed to do now? Wait for him? ", Juhee was already tired from work and her body was hurting from all the work.Just when she thought she could have a good rest or maybe cook some nice dishes for both of them, she was not allowed to enter the home. She had gotten off work early after so many days, yet she was unable to enjoy her good time.Juhee didn't try calling him again and made her way to the ground just in front of the apartment and sat down. " I hope this fella returns my calls soon ", She thought in her m
There were still ten seconds left before the clock would tick number 6 and Jacob was already standing in front of her with all the luggage and stuff he needed during the stay.This shows how much he respects his mother as well as how much he fears her. Juhee was happy to see him but maintained a grumpy face. " Oh! You are already here, did you get into any trouble on the way? I hope not ", She asked with a calm face and gave him the space to come inside.But he...instead of coming inside, threw her luggage and bag inside aggressively. Juhee was scared but did not show it on her face, she just stared at him. " What the hell are you doing? There's my stuff inside, would you buy it for me if anything is to be damaged? ", She was a little pissed and walked inside, not giving him any mind as she already knew he would make his way in even if she does not say anything.Jacob walked inside along with his stuff and he was a little taken aback by the inside view. " Is this your house? How come
About twenty minutes later, Jacob arrived at the given location. Truthfully, he never visited this hospital even knowing it was where Juhee works, he was always reluctant to show up at the same place as her. And after what Juhee had told him years ago, there was no reason for him to go to a place where he might see her. He still remembered how she looked at him that day when she saw him in the playground with her friends. There was disgust and pain on her face, she was hurt.It was in the past, but they were still holding onto it. There was a time when he hurt her deeply that she refused to even look at his face, hated him, and wanted to run away from him. After that day, she never asked him for anything, and today was the first time after that day that she had requested something from him, so could he not fulfill it?After his arrival, he called her to know where she was right now. She told him to wait in her office as she will be there real soon. It's been a short time since he ste
