Mina's PoV

"Mina! Oh my god! Such a lifesaver!" My mom said before I could go near her.

"Hi, mom."

"God! Wait, when did you come here?" She asked

"Uhm, just a week. I stayed at Sana's house."

"Is that so? Wait I'll get a drink-"

"No mom. I'm good... well I just came here to check on you and also to tell you something." I said.

"Oh. Ok, let's sit first." She said and led me to a vacant couch.

"I heard about Momo. I feel sorry about what happened."

"Yeah... that's also the reason why we are here. Anyway, how are you? I heard from your secretary that you closed a deal. Congratulations." I said

"Well not yet." She said

"Oh, but I think you'll get it. You can do it, mom." I said and smile.

"Well, yup! Since you're here." She said that made me frown.

"Uhm me?"

"Mina, I know that you're not yet ready but I think you're at the right age already."

"What do you mean?" I asked confusedly.

She held my hand and look at me intently.

"Our future business partner knows about you. She praised you because I always told them that you excelled in your school plus you have experience in this field."

"Mom, what do you mean?"

"Our future business partner wants you to marry his son."

"Marry his son."

"Marry his son."

"Marry his son."

I immediately pulled out my hand and look at her unbelievably.

"Mom you're joking right?" I asked nervously.

She frowned and laughed like nothing.

"Mina I'm not joking. I don't have time to joke around, we'll go back later actually."

"Mom, I can't just marry someone without knowing him. No, I don't want to mom!" I exclaimed but she held my hand again.

"Mina, dear you'll know him if you go with him. Besides, I checked the background info of the guy and he's good. Look, Mina, please dear. Do this for mom." She said

"M-mom... I can't. I'm not here for that." I said.

"What?"

"Mom I can't marry whoever that guy is."

"Why? Mina dear, I know you'll understand me. This is for you too, as we got that deal, you'll live a better life."

"Mom no! I came here to tell you that I already found my love. I...."

Go, Mina! For Chaeyoung!

"I... I f-fell in love with a girl." I said looking into her eyes directly.

"What?!"

"Her name is Chaeyoung. Mom, I can't marry someone because I love her so much."

"Mina, are you kidding me?"

/KNOCK KNOCK/

"Mrs. Myoui, the Kims are already here." The secretary of my mom said.

"Let them come," Mom said without leaving her eyes on me.

"Mina, please prove to me that you're just joking around. Stop this. I don't like it." She said and stood up to greet her visitors.

"Oh, is she your daughter? What luck! I brought my son too!" I heard the man say.

"Mina, come here and greet them."

I stood up and walk to them, I just stared at them when my mom signaled me.

"Good day, Mr. Kim," I said

"You are Mina, right? Meet my son, Taehyung."

"Nice to meet you, Mina." He said and offered a handshake.

I'm in hesitant but mom gave me a look so I just did what she want.

"So since Mina is here, should we talk about the marriage? After that, we can close the deal." Mr. Kim said.

"Sure, let's have a seat." My mom said and lead the way to the table while I'm still stuck in my place.

No, I won't let that happen.
Chaeyoung is doing her best,
I don't want to repeat the same mistake I've done before.

"No," I said unconsciously causing them to stop.

"Mina, have a seat." My mom said.

"No marriage will happen. Sorry but I'm not going to marry your son Mr. Kim."

"What is the meaning of this Mrs. Myoui?" He asked my mom.

"Sorry, she's just surprised. Let me talk to her." She said and walked closer to me.

"Mina what is this?!" She whispered yell.

"Mom, I said my words. I'm not going to marry him. I came here to inform you about the girl I love. If you don't want her for me, then sorry."

"Mina!"

"Sorry for this Mr. Kim," I said and left the room.

"Mina!"

"Mina go back here!" My mom yelled along the hallway.

Before I could go out, She grabbed me and made me face her.

"What are you doing Mina?! This is for you!"

"Mom I can't marry him! I love Chaeyoung!"

"Mina look! There's nothing will happen with that love ok? Just do what I want-"

"See? You just said it, it's your want. Mom can't I just choose what I want? I want to stay with the girl I love! I love her!"

"Mina you can't understand me, it's not normal!"

I frowned upon hearing her statement.

Not normal?

"W-what?"

"Dear I just want a normal life for you and that is if you'll marry the right person."

"Right person? Really mom? Marrying the opposite sex is your definition of normal life. Marrying a person that I don't love is the right person for you?" I asked and started to cry.

"Mom I thought you'll understand me. I've been with you before I go to dad. But he understood me more than you do!"

"Mina, don't compare us! Your dad doesn't know anything!"

"No mom you're wrong! If you just heard what he said when I told him about this."

"So you told him? Don't tell me he's fine with it?"

"Yes, mom! Do you want to hear what he said? He said that he was fine with it! He said that he wants me to be happy with what I wanted. He even feels sorry for our family. He feels sorry because he can't give me the right family that the others have. And if supporting what I want is the only way to make me happy, he'll support me."

"He's tolerating you, Mina!"

"No mom! Please do listen! Look us. You married dad but do we have a happy family? You married a man but what happened? Now you're telling me to marry someone who I didn't know?"

"Mina this is for you!"

"No mom, this is for your company. Sorry, but doing what I want and disobeying what you want makes me look like the worst daughter to you. I'll accept it, I can't just turn my back on the person I love just for someone who I just met now. Sorry, mom."
