"If you win the elections for presidential candidate,not only will you make history for being South Korea's youngest ruler but also be a public figure looked upon by the
youths", his father's daily song hit hard in Min Ho's ears. His eyelids shut tight and slowly nodded his head.
"That's my boy. Don't let me down, Min ho. You will be getting married to Han Mi Rae tomorrow. I know you both haven't had time to know each other but this is for your own good. She is perfect for you " his father added.
He closed the laptop on his desk and sighed in frustration. He thought his father had come to his office to tell him something important but it turned out to be his day to day song about Mi Rae.
Ever since he could remember he had to be perfect for his parents. Perfect body, perfect face, perfect grades, perfect diet, everything about him had to be perfect that it had now become tiring.
Song Min Ho has to become the president of South Korea. But he could only be that when he has a wife. A perfect wife.
"After all,there is no president without a first lady", his father finished and left the office, leaving Song Min Ho pondering on his father's words.
He roughed his dark shiny hair, removed his glasses_showing his hazel eyes as his thin pink lips released a groan.
Min Ho was the quite type. Rarely talking and always calm but this,this was just getting out of hand for him to even be calm and quiet about.
Tomorrow_tomorrow he has to be a husband and all to prove his maturity to South Koreans.

At the Han family residence, a family dinner was being served. Gia Lee,her mother , father, grandfather, two cousins,uncle and aunt, and the soon to be bride, Mi Rae were all present.
"Mi Rae, I can't believe you will be getting married before me. Gosh am so jealous " Gia Lee's cousin,Han Eun Jin gushed, making Gia Lee scoff while Mi Rae blushed.
Ever since the announcement of Mi Rae and Min Ho's wedding,none of the family members have shut up.
"Gia Lee, why the frown? Are you jealous? I mean, I get it if you are ,after all you are nothing compared to Mi Rae" Eun Jin intentionally provoked and unfortunately,it was working. She was doing it intentionally, to show that Gia Lee was the bad one while Mi Rae was the angel.
"Nothing?! Excuse me, did you just say nothing compared to who? You mean a two faced bitch who is getting sold off. Are you saying that-" Gia Lee couldn't finish her rament as Patriarch Han hit his fist against the dinning table and said;
"Shut up, Gia Lee. Can't you let us eat in peace?"
Gia Lee instantly became agitated and got up from her chair.
"This is what is dividing this family_ Your comparison. You just saw Eun Jin backlash me seconds ago ,you did nothing. Even your perfect granddaughter said nothing but now that I speak up ,you tell me to keep quite" Gia Lee run her delicate slender fingers in her hair and groaned.
"Shut up and sit down"Patriarch Han scolded and Gia Lee scoffed.
"Screw you",she mutered in her breathe and left the dining table . But just as she was about to get out of the dining room, Patriarch Han said.
" I thought you would change but seems you are just getting worse.Gia Lee, next week, you will be getting married to Felix Smith" . The words froze Gia Lee on the spot. She turned around to see Patriach Han with a stern look on his face. They never discussed about any of it.
Felix Smith, a figure adored by many and unfortunately a widower. He is an American shareholder of the Han group.
"Failure to do so will result in you being disowned from this family", everyone stayed still and quite.
"What?! Marriage? Felix? Are you saying a joke grandfather. From all the people in this world you choose a thirty seven year old man who just lost his wife?" Patriarch Han did not answer but continued eating. Gia Lee looked at her mother with desperate eyes.
"Mother,can you kick some sense into grandfather".
"Gia just do as your grandfather has ordered" Gia Lee scoffed in disbelief at her mother's lack of attention towards the situation.
"Grandfather, yes do reconsider. You can not do this to sister Lee" Mi Rae finally spoke and Gia Lee felt her blood boil.
"Shut up! Bitch! Everything is because of you. So stop trying to get famous through my case_You know what!"she paused and looked at everyone else on the table.
"To hell with this family. I am done.Fuck you all. I am not marrying Felix Smith or whatever his shitty name is and I don't give a damn if you disown me or not. You want me to be the villain, fine! I will be the villain of your story ". Everyone was stunned at Gia Lee's confidence and speech. She strode out of the house.
"Soo Mi,what did I tell you about your child. This child is possessed by demons " Patriarch Han remarked towards Gia Lee's mother who said nothing.

At the parking lot Gia Lee got into her car. She mutered insults to the Han family all the way to her house.
"They think they can just control me, anyhow they want?"
"'Grandfather, yes do reconsider. You can not do this to sister Lee'My butt. I bet she was snickering in that stupid brain of hers"
She stepped on the peddle and the car drove fast. Her mind was full of curses until,she abruptly hit the break and the car stopped. Something had popped in her head and it was big. Her lips curved into a smile as she said to herself.
"Why let them have a perfect wedding tomorrow when I can be the one to marry Song Min Ho"
