“I guess I’ll have to get used to this too.”
The wedding preparations were swift. Since I wasn't fully pregnant yet, I was able to wear a rather voluminous and extravagant dress. I had already chosen a few dresses and tuxedos for the main ceremony and photoshoot, and everything was ready, including the venue, gifts, and invitations.
For a week, he never came home.
Follow-
I got a phone call.
The sender is [Senior Min Yoongi], a senior at university and a member of the royal family of a large corporation. I heard that after graduating from university after 4 years, he worked for about 2 years before going to the US branch.

“Hey, honey.”
"Senior! What's going on? Aren't you in America?"
“Hey, why are you answering my call like you’ve been waiting for me?”
“I’m just so happy to see you… What brings you here, senior? I’m done calling.”
"I'm from Korea. Want to see me for a second? I'll buy you some food."

“Long time no see. Have you lost weight?”
“Senior, you’ve been eating American food, so you’ve become a bit more polished.”
"how have you been doing?"
“So-so..”
“Choose what you want to eat. Don’t worry about what others think and just relax.”
"hmm.."
“Would you like a drink?”
“I can’t drink.”
“Why do you like alcohol too?”
“..No.”
“I’ll take you there.”
"are you okay."
“Well... okay. We can just meet again later.”
It felt like I could breathe a little easier after a long time. I usually drink alcohol, but I don't even put it in my mouth because I'm thinking of the baby.
“What did you do in the US? Wasn’t it hard?”
"Well, I work in the US branch. Everyone above me is Korean, so what kind of work wouldn't be difficult?"
“So you came back to Korea?”
“Well... for the time being. I have an important contract coming up soon, and it can't be done in the US.”
"You're busy... Well, senior, even in college, you were busy with internships and all. Who would have known? That it would be the Royal Family."
“Hey, Oba. It wasn’t that bad.”
“Is that so?”
I found the smile I'd been missing for a little over a month, from finding out I was pregnant to preparing for the wedding. Even if it was just for a moment. It was so wonderful.
“You. How have you been?”
"Well, I... I graduated from college, worked hard at part-time jobs, and finally got a job when I was 26. It's just a small business. I'm still an employee."
“What good is getting a job these days when the job market is so tight?”
“That’s not something a senior should say.”
“I see..ㅋㅋㅋ”
“Oh, and..”
I take out a piece of paper from my bag that I had carefully kept in case it got crumpled.
“I’m getting married.”
“What is so precious? What?”
“I’m getting married..”
“Hey… Don’t say anything! Then what else can I buy you today besides food… Congratulations.”
“I really wanted you to come, senior..”
"Say it like you're crawling into something like that, like marriage is some kind of sin. And what are you lacking in? You're a good student, kind, pretty, charming, and you even got a job and made money at the age of twenty-seven."
"..thank you.."
At least I wanted to marry someone who would say things like this... I wanted to marry someone who would shower me with affection, saying that I was pretty, kind, and a good person... Tears welled up in my eyes.
“Let’s see. The person who will marry our junior is… Jeon Jungkook..?”
"i know..?"
“This is the company that will be signing a contract soon.”
"ah.."
“My lady.”
"yes?"
“I don’t know if this is rude, but.”
“You’re getting married because you want to, right?”
"yes..?"
“Because I want to be happy. Is that why I’m getting married?”
What should I answer?

“Min Yoongi. Why did you meet that person?”
“Did you send someone to me..?”
That man grabs me as I enter the house and go into my room.
Then he sits down at the table and shows me two photos. They show me and my senior eating at a restaurant.
“Can we have a lover?”
“..He’s my senior from college.”
"It almost got published. Fortunately, the reporter who saw it first asked for money, so it didn't get published... but I guess my warning to be careful wasn't true."
The sarcastic tone made my emotions well up.
"You haven't even come home all week... You go to work and meet people, right? But me? I got pregnant and even lost my job. You know that, right?"
“Ms. Kim Yeo-ju.”
"You said we shouldn't stay out overnight. And you? Who are you? Then why would you make a contract like that?"
“…”
"I was so tired of waiting that I fell asleep. Last Tuesday was my regular checkup day, and I was told to bring my child's father, but I couldn't even say a word."
“..Why didn’t you contact me?”
“Do you have my number? Do you know the baby’s name? You justUs “I have no intention of using it.”
“I can’t deny it, but I left my secretary’s number so she could contact me if needed, and I never gave her Ms. Kim Yeo-ju’s number or the child’s name, did I?”
“Because I didn’t ask.”
“…”
“But is it such a big sin for me to have met my college senior?”
"I am.."
“..I will think about marriage again.I can't do it like this.”
