Our Trinket Love

Chapter 7

Seeing her confused he asked, "Yeah, I called you today to ask you if you would marry me. Wait then what did you think I was talking about?"

Hae Jin blushed at the proposal. And realized that she got him wrong and said, "Oh no, I truly apologize, I thought you were talking about the French couple Eclaire and Louis's wedding, they will be coming to your hotel tomorrow, they contacted me as their wedding planner so I thought you were talking about them."

Hearing her explanation, Yuhan sighed at how things had become. After a pause, he said, "Oh, that's okay I guess, but why would I say that it's a date."

Hae Jin replied, "Well, we have never officially met before so I thought why would you suddenly ask me on a date."

Yuhan sighed and said, "Well, since I got your biodata I thought you would know if I said it's a date."

Hearing the word biodata, Hae Jin asked, "Biodata? Where did you get that?"

Hearing this, Yuhan panicked and asked, "Wait, so you have not shared your biodata for marriage?"

Hae Jin nodded no and said, "No, marriage is not on my mind right now."

Yuhan sighed in embarrassment and said, "Hmm I see, seems like there was a misunderstanding from my side. I would like to apologize, but I would still like to make an offer."

Hae Jin nodded and was about to ask what's the offer when the restaurant's manager knocked on the door rushed in and said, "Ma'am, we are extremely sorry but our employee has damaged your car, we will pay for the expenses and provide a ride for you."

Hearing the sudden news, Hae Jin and Yuhan get up. Hae Jin, utterly shocked, asked, "What do you mean? Take me there."

The manager nodded and took them there. Hae Jin got a message but she ignored it and followed the manager.

Hae Jin, seeing her car, was shocked, it seemed that one of the car headlights was broken. She sighed in relief knowing it's not much damage.

She then looked at the employee who was bowing down. The employee said, "I'm sorry ma'am! It's all my fault! You can send me to the police station if you want! I deserve severe punishment!"

Hae Jin then looked at Yuhan, who was beside her, and then looked at the manager, finding this whole thing suspicious she said, "Well I don't know what you were doing but you seem so professional, are you sure it's not on purpose?"

Hearing this, the manager nodded a no and said, "No, ma'am! We would never, he made a mistake, please forgive us! We will fire him and make him pay the damage fees. So please don't go to the police, our restaurant's image is on the line, please let this go."

Seeing the manager genuinely sorry and worried, she then glanced at the guy who did this and saw he was still bowing down.

Hae Jin sighed and said, "Okay then, get my car repaired and send it to my house, I will give you my address. And about the employee, you can do what you want, I wouldn't like to fire him for a mistake he made once."

She then turned to Yuhan and said, "Shall we go inside? Our lunch is getting cold."

Yuhan nodded, confused at her calm reaction. The manager thanked them and said, "I will get fresh food for you guys, we are sorry to disturb your date as well. We are extremely sorry for everything!"

Hae Jin sighed and said, "It's okay, what has happened can't be undone. Yuhan shi, let's go back we have to talk about some matters."

Yuhan nodded and they went inside. Reaching the room, Yuhan helped Hae Jin sit and sit down.

Hae Jin getting a call excused herself and saw the caller ID. Seeing that it was her brother she picked up and said, "Oh oppa, I will call you later, I'm in a meeting."

Jeong Woo smirked and said, "I know, check your messages, stay safe sister~" Saying that, he hung up.

Hearing that, Hae Jin quickly checked her messages and saw that it was her crashed car. He wrote, "It could have been worse if you were inside, stay safe, I wouldn't want something to happen to you, dear sister."

Seeing the message, Hae Jin started to sweat. Seeing her starting to turn pale, Yuhan asked, "Is everything okay, Miss Hae Jin shi?"

Hae Jin looked at him and said, "Huh? Oh yes, everything is okay. So where were we?"

Yuhan, noticing the sweat and paleness, knew this could be an advantage.

Yuhan said, "Well since even you are not interested in marriage as well, I would like to offer you a deal."

Hae Jin asked, "What deal?"

Yuhan continued, "Well you know even though I'm not interested in marriage, my mother is pressuring me and won't stop until I get married, I don't believe in marriage or love so I just want a person who would be my partner in the name of marriage but we live our life at our own."

Hae Jin, hearing this, asked, "And how long do you want this play to go on?"

Yuhan, thinking she was interested, answered, "Lifetime, of course."

Hearing him, Hae Jin couldn't help but laugh. Seeing her laugh, Yuhan narrowed his eyes.

Hae Jin after laughing said, "Well I don't want to be rude, but I can't believe you of all people would come up with such a flop deal."

Yuhan, a little offended by her words, but still being polite asked, "And what do you mean by that?"

Hae Jin answered, "Well if this deal was only for a few years, anyone would have agreed to it, no woman looks for a partner who she can't emotionally depend on, anyone would divorce you after a few years, even I'm not interested in such a marriage, so I reject your offer."

Yuhan sighed, he never expected Hae Jin to be like this and said, "But what about the person who damaged your car?"

Hae Jin looked at him confused and asked, "What do you mean?"

Yuhan answered, "Well I noticed after your phone call ended, you turned a little pale and started sweating. I can help you get rid of this man if you consider my offer."

Hae Jin sighed and said, "Sorry, but I don't want to be in a relationship without emotional attachment and I have made myself capable enough to deal with such people, so I hope you start looking for someone else, but can you answer my one question?"

Yuhan nodded. Hae Jin asked, "What's the reason you hate the idea of a real marriage?"

Yuhan answered, "Well, it's a personal reason."

Hae Jin nodded and not wanting to prey on things more, she said, "I think I should take my leave, if you'll excuse me."

Saying this, Hae Jin got up, she was about to go when Yuhan said, "Wait!"

Hae Jin turned to him with a questioning look. Yuhan said, "Let me drop you off since your car got damaged."

Hae Jin smiled at his offer and his gentlemanly act and said, "Well that's very sweet of you, I can't reject such a gesture, but are you sure you want to drop me off after I rejected you?"

Yuhan smirked and answered, "Well that doesn't mean I leave you out in any situation, I have to keep my manners."

Hae Jin smiled and said, "Well you are such a gentleman, thank you, shall we go?"

Yuhan nodded and they went to his car. While Yuhan was driving her home, Hae Jin said, "You are such a gentleman, you haven't had a bad record on anything and you are an ideal man for marriage, if only you wanted to marry for real." Saying that she sighs.

Yuhan looked at her and asked, "If it was for a real marriage, would you say yes?"

Hae Jin smiled looked at him and answered, "Of course."

Yuhan nodded and continued to drive, after that, they didn't talk much.
