Eun Young shook her head as she recalled the memory from the past. It was 6 years ago yet she remembered that night in full detail. It was, after all, the night that changed her life completely.
At first, she was afraid of knowing who her parents had picked for her. She was ready to rebel and disobey them! She didn't want any of this! The thought of marrying someone unfamiliar to her, someone whom she didn't even love, definitely terrified her. Many thoughts filled her mind. But as she learned that they had chosen Summit Group International's only heir Lee Min Jae, her heart skipped a beat.
It was him. He was the guy Eun Young secretly liked. At that time, they were both studying in the same university. The two of them were both top graduating students. Min Jae was quite popular back in the day and of course, he had many girls going after him.
Eun Young would see him from time to time around the campus and once in a while, they would have an encounter because of a few mutual friends. They know each other, but they don't communicate with one another. And so, Eun Young could only like him from afar. There was no reason for them to talk, much less for them to be together. Until that night, the stars were suddenly rewritten...
However, it wasn't because of her infatuation with him that made her parents consider the marriage. That year, Summit Group International's CEO Lee Jung Il made a huge mistake. It was the first crisis they had in years! Their company was in serious trouble that the only way for them survive and get back on track in the industry was to unite with their strongest rival company. And that company, belongs to the Kim family.
Kim Dong Yun and Kim Cho Ah loved their only daughter very much. They would've completely dismissed the offer of Lee Jung Il if it wasn't for the fact that it was his company that gave them the opportunity to begin theirs. They were only a small business in the district and no one paid attention to them. It wasn't until they were discovered by their first investor and it turned to be their business' biggest breakthrough!
Summit Group International also helped them as they struggled during their first few years in the industry until finally, they managed to stand on their own. This was the Kim family's debt to the Lee family. It would be unethical for them to turn a blind eye when the other party was now the one in need. That's why when Lee Jung Il proposed the marriage of his son Min Jae and their daughter Eun Young, they had to carefully think about it.
Kim Tae Hyung, their eldest son, hated the idea that they still contemplated on agreeing with the arrangement. He couldn't convince his parents to drop the idea completely because their own company's reputation might be at stake too! Who knows what the other side might have against them as well? In the end, Kim Dong Yun and Kim Cho Ah concurred to have Eun Young make the decision. Regardless of what their daughter's choice was, they would go with it.
Of course, the young woman agreed. She didn't want her parents to worry anymore and the hopeless romantic that she is, she wanted that man to become her husband too. But now, everything is far from how she envisioned it. Life indeed doesn't turn out the way we want them to be...
"Eun Young darling, come on. It's not that I don't support you with what you're feeling. It's just that... I feel bad for you as a friend. You deserve so much more in this world hun! Sh** you're even the kindest angel I know!" Dal Rae warmly said as she looked at Eun Young in the eye.
Eun Young forced a smile. "Thanks." She muttered and sighed heavily as she prepared to return to the papers in front of her.
Dal Rae raised an eyebrow at her. "Why do I get this feeling that you're still not going to give up? Is he that rare of a fish?" She joked as she attempted to lighten up the mood.
Eun Young shrugged. "Maybe because I still don't plan on giving up. Dal Rae..." Eun Young momentarily thought deeply. "I don't know why but I really can't bring myself to leave him yet. And it's not just because he's a nice father to Jung Hyun and Hye soo but because I think he could still change!"
Sure he's a difficult man to deal with but that doesn't mean that's all he is and that's all he'll ever be.
Eun Young stared at her desk. "I know it sounds crazy but--"
"He's crazy alright!" Dal Rae cut her off in mid-sentence.
However, Eun Young ignored her and continued. "I think he could still change. He's not the best man out there, he's definitely not the best husband but... what if one day he decides to change?"
Dal Rae was surprised by Eun Young's words. She has so much faith in him. She's kind and patient towards him too. Clearly, she loves him that much. Dal Rae undestands that entirely. But she just couldn't help but think of her friend's well-being too.
"And if he doesn't?" Dal Rae asked, almost inaudible for Eun Young to catch.
Eun Young pursed her lips as she thought about the question. Finally, she responded. "Then I'll decide. Surely, the right time will come for that."
The right time will come. Similar to how they met at just the right time.
