Imagine Being In An Arranged Marriage With Jeonghan. You Knew It Was Gonna Happen Eventually And You

Imagine being in an arranged marriage with Jeonghan. You knew it was gonna happen eventually and you were ready to give this part of your life if it meant your younger brother, Vernon, would have more freedom to live his.

You two finally meet over dinner with your respective families. You had the chance to talk privately, and he tells you about Sooyeon, a famous actress he's been dating for years. He says they love each other very much and want you to drop off the arrangement. You refuse. Vernon's freedom is on the line here.

Weeks pass by and you hear about Jeonghan and Sooyeon's break up. You receive a call from him wanting to meet up. You agree. He tells you that it was all for publicity. He will marry you-- even offered you friendship. But his heart belongs to Sooyeon only and they'll keep their relationship private. He tells you he realized that if he didn't agree to this arrangement, it was Haneul, his younger sister, that will be in this situation with Vernon.

You two get married in a month. You live together in a beautiful house. You sleep on the same bed for appearances only. Jeonghan tries to be a good friend to you. He respects you, gives you freedom, gives you money to spend, listens to your day at work, talks to you about his, etc. Sometimes you go out on dates for the public-- he smiles at you and holds your hand. Once or twice he'd steal a kiss from you when he knows there are people around. The media celebrates your marriage. But what they don't know is he slips out in the middle of the night and comes home in the morning.

You fall in love with him slowly. You try to fight for your marriage but Sooyeon and Jeonghan fight for their 'love'. He asks you for a divorce two years after your marriage. You give in but under the condition that he acts like a proper husband for three months. Thinking you could make him fall for you in such a short time.

He does; he gives in. He doesn't slip out in the middle of the night but instead he wraps his arms around you when he sleeps, he takes you out on a date every other day, he kisses you when he comes home and leaves for work, and you two start having sex too. You know you're setting yourself up for a major self-destruction but you didn't care, you were basking in the attention and 'love' Jeonghan was showering you with.

D-day comes. You made sure to tire Jeonghan out the night before so he doesn't notice you leave the bed. You finally sign the divorce papers and leave it on the dining table along with a thank you note for being such a loving husband.

Jeonghan wakes up to find your side of the bed cold. Assuming you're making breakfast, he smiles and walks towards the kitchen. But all he finds is a signed divorce papers and your note. He runs towards the walk in closet and sees your clothes are gone. He calls up Vernon and asks if you're with him. He says he just dropped you off to the airport. He also tells him that he's finally free.

A few months later, news of Jeonghan and Sooyeon dating again break out. He doesn't know why he feels empty even after getting back with Sooyeon. He starts looking for you. But you hid so well and your family refuses to talk about your whereabouts.

You return to South Korea after three years, thinking people would have forgetten about you and your attachement to a very famous, smart, playboy chaebol. Vernon picks you and Jeongwoo, your son, up from the airport.

Jeonghan hears the news of your return and contacts you. He wants to see you. You refuse. There was no reason for you two to see nor talk to each other. He brings up Jeongwoo. You tell him you got knocked up when you were abroad. He becomes quiet and you end the call abruptly.

Vernon visits you one night and tells you what happened with Jeonghan. He's in an on/off relationship with Sooyeon but they aren't married. Rumor has it that Jeonghan refuses to propose to her. You thought that once you left, he'll finally be married happily to her.

Jeonghan visits you in your home out of the blue. You refuse him until you both hear Jeongwoo asking who it was that his mommy was screaming at thru the intercom. You say it was no one but Jeonghan tells Jeongwoo that he's mommy's old friend and you missed her so much. You look at Jeongwoo and sees Jeonghan's eyes in him. You buzz Jeonghan in and Jeongwoo is waiting for him to come in. Jeonghan opens the door and introduces himself to the toddler hiding behind you. He eventually comes out when Jeonghan hands him a lego set. You glare at Jeonghan and he convinces the toddler to play as you and him talk. He tells you everything, from the divorce up until now. He tells you he felt empty ever since you left and even Sooyeon couldn't fill the void. He knew you have a son but didn't know that Jeongwoo's eyes look like his. He convinces you to come back. You tell him no; not when you're content with your life with Jeongwoo, not when he finally has the life he asked for years ago. He convinces you to at least let him be a father to Jeongwoo.

You talk to Jeongwoo about Jeonghan. The kid's just happy to have a dad and that no one will tell him he doesn't have one in school. You and Jeonghan set up a schedule on how will Jeongwoo spend time with both and each of you.

Jeongwoo has a school event and he wants Jeonghan to attend too. You tell him his dada's busy with work and he wails. You end up calling Jeonghan and he leaves work immediately to attend the event with you two. The news spreads to the public and Sooyeon is not one bit happy about it.

She meets up with you and proceeds to hurl hurtful words towards you and Jeongwoo and that you should leave her and Jeonghan alone. You do. You cancel the set up with Jeonghan and refuses his calls. So once again, he shows up to your doorstep, wet as a dog saying he ran over to your place as soon as he heard Sooyeon confronted you. You say nothing but only gave him a towel and some clothes Vernon left. You get back to cleaning up the kitchen but Jeongwoo wakes up and cries. Jeonghan carries Jeongwoo to bed cooing at him to sleep and that he'll be there when he wakes up.

Jeonghan not only continued to be a father to Jeongwoo but also acted like a husband to you. He's been having dinner at your place for a while now, he's also the one putting Jeongwoo to sleep and dropping him off at school. He's been picking you up after work and taking you to dinner at your favorite restaurant. You realize it's time for you to finally talk about what's happening. He tells you he broke up with Sooyeon for good when he came to your place all wet. He tells you he realized he loves you months before divorcing.

"I realized it too late, I lost you." He bites his lip before reaching for your hand. "But now, you're in front of me and I have a chance to make it right. Let me make it right."

Tears fall from your eyes. You have always loved him.
