— GRADUATION DAY AT UNIVERSITY —
┗━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┛
"Eunji?" Jay chased her after the graduation ceremony, wearing his graduation uniform and the certificate that was carried by him.
"Yes Jay? What's wrong? Is someone chasing you behind?" she asked him in a soft voice.
"We are graduated now," he huffed, "and....and you are already 22. Huh! Huh! What are your plans for your future?" his breathing was faster than usual which meant he was finding her for a long while.
"Well....." Eunji scratched her head, "I don't have any plans particularly, besides I cannot invest money for any work, so maybe I'll be a waitress at a nearby restaurant." she gave a silly pitiful smile.
"Let's go to a Caféteria. I wanna discuss something with you and then I can drop you to your home" He offered her a car ride.
"Ah... alright." she replied and hesitantly seated herself in the car next to him and buckled the seatbelt.
"I know that you cannot afford money so I would like to propose to you something that will be beneficial to you in future." He turned the car toward the caféteria.
"Huh? What's that?" She asked as she was confused as hell.
"You'll know once we reach the caféteria. I'm hoping that you will consider my proposal. In any case, you won't regret it later." Jay smirked at her.
— AT CAFÉTERIA —
"Please be seated Ma'am, Sir and call us when you want to place your order" the waitress bowed and took her leave.
"So what's your proposal that can make me benefit? And how can I trust you? I mean I know that you belong to a very rich family and can offer money to anyone but I can't just go onto your proposal blindly!" Eunji waited for his reply.
"Waiter? Can we have our order placed?" He called the waiter ignoring her question.
"Hey?" She barked at him, while her eyes glared at him.
"Calm down Eunji, order something, I'll treat you," Jay smiled at her followed by the waiter, "I'll have a iced cold coffee."
"I'll take a Cappuccino and thank you" She greeted the waiter with a smile.
"Make sure to hurry up, I'll pay you double the price." he said to the waiter.
"Sure sir. We will be back to you in a minute" the waiter departed.
"Now, will you tell me what's your proposal?" She almost lost her patience.
"Do you know who is in my family?" he smirked yet again, "It's related to my proposal."
~What on earth, this man is plotting?~ she thought.
"You, your sister Ms. Young and your brother Mr. Young, and your parents." She mumbled with a soft voice.
The waiter arrived with two cups on a tray, "Here's your order sir. Please enjoy your drinks." he departed after placing the cups on the table.
"So I guess you know most of my family members, so it wouldn't be so hard for you." Jay said in relief.
"What? You want a maid for your house?" she chuckled before taking a sip of her Cappuccino.
"No, I want you to marry my big brother, Mr. Young Jin the CEO of Haden Company."
She choked on her Cappuccino and spitted it on the table. on hearing that.
"What? Are you kidding me?" she said while wiping her face with a napkin.
He turned his face toward the glass window, "I'm serious! My brother has always liked you even if he knew that you would never fall for him. He kept on stalking you from a distance in a hope that one day you will be his. But i can't see when that one day will ever come. There were numerous number of girls came to my brother to marry him, but he only dreamt of you—"
"But that doesn't mean I will marry him!" he was cut off by Eunji.
"Shut up! and listen to me, I'm telling this for both of your benefit. Are you willing to die due to poverty and starving?" He was annoyed by her.
"Alright, deliver your brother's speech!" she rolled her eyes on him.
"I must warn you that never, I mean N.E.V.E.R. roll your eyes at my big bro. You might get a spanking. Pfttttt....haha." He started laughing just imagining how the scene will be.
"You perverted asshole! I'm not marrying your big perverted big bro! I'm leaving" She pushed herself to take her leave when she heard—
"Oh wa—wait! Apologies ma'am. But that was true. He still spanks me when I roll my eyes at him." he coughed just to say, "Well so what I was saying was, my brother only dreams of you and thinks about you. He stalked you since you two were in highschool."
"So why didn't he confess to me back then ?" she sipped her cappuccino.
"He was your school captain and you were a non-popular junior to him, So how could he confess to such a mere girl when he had a popular reputation?" he sighed at the thought that his brother was definitely a fool.
"Oh! He chose his reputation over me back then. But why now? Why do you think he will marry me when he is the topmost billionaire CEO and I, a mere graduated non-popular poor student." Eunji smirked at him, "Don't you think, I should let him suffer? Should I choose my non-popular future over him? Don't you think that ?"
"Well, you are rebellious. Can't you just accept the offer to be my sister-in-law and have a lavish lifestyle in future?" Jay thought to himself this girl can beat the shit out of his brother.
"Why should I marry Mr. Young Jin ?" She yelled at him.
"Isn't that obvious ? To have a lavish life ahead!" Jay tossed those words in the air.
"It definitely sounds fishy, the way you are forcing me, it feels creepy to me." Eunji crossed her arms in front of her chest.
"Fine! Think about it, many things await you if you choose to marry my brother. You are smart, I hope you will make a wise decision, Let me drop you home. Shall we leave ?"
"Yes!" She prepared to take a leave.
"Waiter ? Can we have our bill ?" He asked while Eunji walked out of the cafeteria.
"Sure sir, here is your bill of 30USD." After receiving the payment, the waiter bid farewell to Mr. Young Jay "Viisit us again Sir!"
~I graduated a few hours ago and now I'm discussing my marriage, who am I kidding ? I wish I can reincarnate and be born into a rich family, next life.~ she thought while she waited outside for Jay to drive her back home.
Jay drove her back home and tress rustled all along their way while the pretty poor girl tied in seatbelts was sitting as idly as a statue in complete silence stressing to figure out what exactly her fate was, what should she answer to Jay, and more importantly, the poor girl was wise enough to think about her ownself than about the others.
She sighed on her destitute fate!
