1. Married?

I just out of a building where I work and then my cellphone ringing. Evidently it is a call from my boss, I answer it immediately, "Hello?" 

"Lee Yongju! Come here quickly!" Designer Joe shouts to me.

"But... this is lunch time..." I reply. 

"Come quickly! You made the problem with President Director?"

"Huh? No..." 

"Hurry, come here!" 

"Oh, okay." Finally I give up.

The phone connection is lost. I turn back and run to the HK Group building again. Even though lunch time isn't over yet. I am so mad to Designer Joe, she always disturbs my lunch time even though it is only a trivial problems. She can talk about it later, why should she delay my lunch time?

What is the problem?

-o0o-

I sit awkwardly in front of the two of them. They are Mr Byun, president of the HK Group and beside him is his wife. They stare me earlier without say anything. This situation make me really nervous, they make my face feel like eroded.

"Sir, she is Lee Yongju, my assistant, the person you are looking for," said Designer Joe. She elbowing my arm and whisper to me to introduce myself to them.

"He-hello, I'm Lee Yongju," I finally speak. The bland smile make my lips tremble with nervous.

The president stare at Designer Joe meaningfully, shortly afterwards Designer Joe leave this room, leave the three of us. Black clouds looks to come to me carry the thunder. What is that?

Oh God, is my mistakes so fatal till the President Director come to me and invite his wife? They immediately meet me without mediator. Di.rect.ly.

"Miss Lee?" called the President Director.

When he calls me, I gulp. "Yes?"

"What's your parent's name?" 

"What?" I am confused. Why involve my parents? My problems is my problems, don't involve my parents. It looks very serious, no way there is company's money tuck into my wallet and make they both come to judge me?

"What is your parents job?" he asks again.

What is that? That scene is like I'm being caught dating with his son. Ask about the woman's family background. Disgusting.

"Um, Sir. That is... I'm not... dating with your son so..."

The President Director suddenly laugh. "I know. Just answer my question!" he said.

"Um, my father's name is Lee Kangju, my mother is Min Hari. But my father is dead, my mother too. So... if there is a problem please don't involve them." I smile until my teeth showed.

The President Director and his wife are surprised when they hear that my parents have died, then that expression disappear so quickly.

"Miss Lee Yongju, please read this! This is very confidential, don't let other people know!" The President Director give me a yellow document, then ask his wife to go. The two backs are further from my sight.

"She's prettier than in the photo, right?"

I can hear the President's wife said before they disappear behind the door. But ... what is that mean?

-o0o-

From the office I go to home, take my work clothes for tomorrow, after that I go to the hospital where my younger brother is being treated. He is still same, sleep all of day.

"Dongju, when will you wake up?" I whispered, grab his hand. My heart is so hurt every I see him. How can? Hoses everywhere, bandages almost all over his body. very bad.

He is referred for medical treatment abroad, but I have no money. Even I still have some loan fund. If treat here, impossible.

I don't know what else to do, I tried to debt at the office but they did not give it to me because my previous debt had not been paid off. Debt in bank but I have no collaterals. Debt to my friends ... my friends run away when I am in trouble.

I want to cry but my tears feel such as they are dry, I don't have an easy solution.

I reach into my briefcase and open the document from the President Director earlier. I read it carefully. It looks like not a dismissal letter or a bill. Of course, I don't do anything wrong with the company.

"Married?" I'm not sure what I read. "Maybe I misread it because lately I've been thinking about starting a family, so my eyes have trouble," I muttered.

Mar.ried.

"Married? Oh, it's true!" I exclaimed.

Married with the President Director's son? Byun Baekmyo? But people said that the President Director's son is a gay. No! I can't!

I bit my lip. The President Director's offer is very tempting. Only married with his son I can bring Dongju to America for treatment until he recovers. But the consequences is of course very big, my job will be more difficult than being an assistant designer.

Dongju is still closed tightly. His face is pale like a corpse. Very weak. I look down helplessly. If I reject this offer, I will be very selfish because I don't care about Dongju's healing. If I accept it... it's mean I sell myself? No, I will sell my services only to bring back the reputation of the President Director's family. 

Just for Dongju. Yeah, I do it just for my younger brother.

"Dongju, you should heal and live with a normal life," I muttered with determination.

I should take this opportunity. Instead of being in debt, it is better to work part time with a high salary, right?

-o0o- 

Should be patient.

My life maybe just a game. I feel myself worthless but my younger brother is very valuable. He is the only one my family. Until now and until whenever I will never forgive the person who nearly killed him.

One of my wishes will come true, got married. But that marriage is still far from my expectations, a marriage without consensual and just a contract marriage. I should marry a man I don't even know. No. I don't think he is a man. How can a man as beautiful as him? As a woman I feel offended. His beauty make me feel insecure.

For my younger brother. Just for my younger brother's life, I give myself to become the wife of Byun Baekmyo. I know that my future husband is a same-sex enthusiast and famous for his nightlife. All the media talked about it, there wasn't a person skipped the news about him. Even, the office people always talk about him in the back.

Well, although there are people who praised him...
