DAHYUN'S POV
It was only my brothers, grandpa, Jimin's parents, Eunwoo's parents and Hansol's parents who are talking. I never spoke, unless they are going to ask me. Even the three men around me, but there are times when me and Eunwoo whisper to each other.
"Did you know about this?" I whispered at Eunwoo's ear. He faced me and shook his head. I nodded slowly. "What's the dinner for, to be honest?"
"I know, right?" Eunwoo smiled and we're back to eating. Grandpa noticed me and Eunwoo talking, so he called the both of us.
"Y-Yes, halapeoji?" I asked him. He smiled and asked us.
"Are you kids dating each other?" Eunwoo choked, so I helped him recover from it. I could feel the audience's stares.
"No, grandpa. We're just friends." I assured them, but they gave me a teasing look--well, except for Jimin and Taehyung oppa. They probably don't care if me and Eunwoo are just friends.
"That's too bad." Eunwoo's mom said. Eunwoo scratched his nape and he looked handsome while doing that.
"Anyways, speaking of relationship," grandpa paused and looked at me, Eunwoo, Hansol and Jimin. "The Kim's have already talked to the Park's, to the Cha's and to the Choi's." He again paused and smiled a little. "My granddaughter will be marrying for business."
"What?" My eyes widened for while. "A-Are you joking?" Act well, Dahyun! You're infront of rich families! "Ah, I-I'm sorry for how I acted." I stood up and bowed repeatedly. They laughed at what I did. Eunwoo pulled my dress and I faced him. He told me to sit down, so I did.
"I know that you're very shocked, but you have to marry one of these three eligible bachelors for business. This will be beneficial for your future." Granddad explained. I sighed. I'm feeling different emotions.
"Aigoo, I want to be invited to your wedding," Eunwoo joked and of course, they laughed. I saw Jimin chuckled a little. I didn't know why but I smiled when I saw him do such a thing. "Invite me to your wedding, Dahyun-ssi."
"Oh, Eunwoo, honey," Eunwoo's mom called her son. He looked at her right away. "You will be invited for sure."
"What do you mean, mom?"
"Dahyun will choose from you, Hansol and Jimin." I was shook for a moment when she said that.
"Friends can't marry each other, mom!" Eunwoo reacted and he faced me all of the sudden. "Right, Dahyunie?"
"Hmm," I nodded slightly and smiled awkwardly. I closed my eyes tightly and opened it again. I wish all of this is a dream. "I'm--"
"Dahyun, my sister," Jin oppa cut me. He looked at me and pointed Eunwoo, "Eunwoo-ah, I want you to marry my sister. You fit for each other." He even gave Eunwoo a thumb up.
"No. I prefer Hansol more than Eunwoo, though. No offence." Joon oppa said. I wanted to tell them that I don't want to marry any of them. But to be honest, Jimin is my ideal man. I don't know why but I admire his drawing skills, his caring personality and his naughty side. I saw it all because him and Mina's relationship is too exposed.
"How about you, Tae?" Jin oppa asked Tae oppa who doesn't care what's going on.
"Any of them," he paused and looked at Jimin. "Except for Jimin." His phone rang and he has to excuse himself for a while. He exited the room and we were left.
"Anyways," grandpa continued what he wanted to say. "Dahyun will date Eunwoo this November, Hansol on December and Jimin on January."
"What?" Jimin reacted quickly. I know that he's against the idea because he's in a relationship with Mina. "Pardon me, but I'm against the idea of dating her."
"Are you saying that my granddaughter is not good enough for you?" I can feel the tension building between grandpa and Jimin. Well, Jimin answered grandpa in a rude way, so I'm not surprised if there will be a fight between the two of them.
"That's not what I'm saying, sir." Jimin answered in a much polite way. "I'm against of that idea because I'm in a relationship with someone else--"
"Then break up with that someone else, son." I was in shock when grandpa cut Jimin. I saw his jaw clench and I exactly know where this is going. "If that girl truly loves you, she'll understand that you have to marry someone for business." Jimin was unable to talk when grandpa told him that. "Dahyun." I faced grandpa right away after he called me. "Since it's the 30th of September tonight, you and Eunwoo will start dating tomorrow. I will keep an eye on you two."
"B-But, why would I date him for?" I asked grandpa. The scariest thing that that could happen with this plan is that either one of us might fall and no one will catch him/me.
"So you know who will you marry after you graduate." I don't know how to react from what he said. After I graduate? That's insane! No one dared to speak after that. The elderly are chatting each other, while the four of us are just silent. We didn't want to talk.
Just seeing these three around me is awkward. Imagine, I'll be marrying one of them not because of love. Many problems may cause by the elderlies' plans.
The dinner finished after an hour. I noticed that Eunwoo is quite silent, so I tiptoed to his ear and whispered, "We're still friends, okay?" I winked at him and he chuckled.
We went downstairs and while we're waiting for our cars to arrive, I noticed that Hansol stood beside me. I looked at him and smiled a little. He smiled, too, and I was shocked when he gave me a rose.
"We haven't introduced ourselves formally," he handed me his own hand. "I'm Choi Hansol."
"Kim Dahyun." I took his hand, but then again, I was surprised when he pulled me towards him. Just enough for me to be near him.
"See you, future wife." He let go of my hand and he waved his hand as goodbye. My mouth was left open even when he entered the car. He rolled down the windows and waved his hand. I waved my hand back, while my other hand is holding the rose.
"See? I'm rooting for that Hansol guy." I heard Joon oppa said.
"I'm still going for Eunwoo." Jin oppa whispered to Joon oppa.
'See you, future wife.' I remembered Hansol said. I chuckled upon recalling what he said. He's fast, isn't he? I stared at the rose and when our limousine was already infront of us, we hopped on it. I bid my good bye to Eunwoo and to Jimin. Eunwoo waved his hand to me while Jimin just ignored me.
I really want to get along with Jimin. I think that we could be friends, too, but it looks like he doesn't want us to be one.

JIMIN'S POV
My heart is breaking whenever I remember what Dahyun's grandfather said. He wants me to break up with Mina for Dahyun and it kills me. Mina will cry and I hate to see her in a state like that.
I wanted to be mad at him, but I know that I'll look like a shamless and uneducated man. And a Park must not act that way.
I was still thinking of Mina until I reached our house. I ran upstairs, towards my room, and threw myself to bed. I called Mina right away. Thank God, she answered in no time.
"Good eve, baby." I smiled upon hearing her evening voice.
"It looks like I woke you up." I chuckled and I hear her laugh softly on the other line. "I'm home."
"Prepare yourself to bed, then." She said and yawned. I felt guilty when I hear her yawn. But isn't it amazing that even a mere yawn from hers sounds so perfect and harmonious? Or is it just me being in love? "Are you still there, baby?"
"Yes I am, baby." I answered. I'm thinking if I would ever tell her that I'll be arranged with someone I don't love. "Mina, I have something to tell you."
"Mmm?" She asked, probably sleepy, but I still told her the thing that is bugging me.
"I'll be arranged with someone else for business, Mina." I looked at the ceiling of my room and wiped my falling tears. "I-I have to break up with you." But I got no answer from her. I know that she's crying. "Good night, Mina." And then I ended the call.
Throughout that night, I cried. I just cried.
