Hoseok POV

I looked at my phone and back to the ground, trying to spot the smiling girl on the screen. Suddenly, my gaze fell on a few boys who were gossiping with their eyes somewhere else. I followed their eyes and saw a beautiful girl listening to something with her earphones on. I didn't want to disturb her but I didn't have any choice either.

I walked up to her and tapped her shoulder, earning an annoyed look from the girl.

"Come In" The voice on the other side of the door spoke up as I knocked. "Hoseok?" My sister said, kind of shocked to see me because I barely come to her office. "Yeah...were you busy?" I asked wanting to make sure that her work wasn't disturbed by my surprise visit.

"No no...sit there...I just have to work on my latest design and I'll be there" She said as I nodded. I really needed to talk to my sister...after what mom and dad said yesterday...I was shocked...

"So...why are you here?" She asked, sipping on her coffee. "Noona...remember when dad allowed you to go out late at night...?" I asked. "Well, yeah...he usually makes me sit at home after 7 pm unless I have some office work." She said. "What about it...?" She continued probably wondering about why I brought that topic up.

"Mom and Dad...they told me something...I-it was so disturbing..." I said as she frowned. She placed her hand on my shoulder and nodded her head, which gave me a signal to continue.

"Hoseok...have a seat..." My father said in the strictest tone, he could use. "Y-yes..." I stuttered, a bit confused by my father's earlier action. I sat down as my mother gave me a concerned look as if she knew what dad was going to say. "Hoseok...for the past few months, our business is going downhill...and only you can help us" My dad said in a cold tone. "Me...how?" I asked confused. "Look, Hoseok...I know boys your age usually want to date the girl of their choice..." My dad said in his normal, soft tone after a sigh.

"Umm I'm not sure I like someone..." I said still confused about why I'm getting this talk. "That's actually great!" My dad exclaimed, confusing even more. "Honey...you're confusing him more" My mom said as my dad nodded and sighed. "I have no idea how to tell you this" He said. "Dad...what's wrong...?" I asked concerned. "Hobi, work is stressing me out...I...I can't do it anymore..." A tear escaped his eye as he talked about how our family business isn't going well. I felt bad. My grandfather had handed over the company to dad before passing away.

The company meant a lot to grandad. That company wasn't just a company...but the sign of my grandfather's love for my grandma. A few years after my grandparents got married, my grandfather started a business for my grandmother...he loved his work. And before retiring, he handed over the company to dad, and he trusted dad. "Hoseok...you know that Appa really wanted our offsprings to continue the company right? But if this continues, I think I will have to shut down the company" My dad said making my eyes widened.

"No! You can't do that...dad...I will do anything I can...just tell me..." I pleaded. "Hoseok...you have to get married...to one of my friend's daughter" He said. W-what...? M-marriage...?" I asked, making sure that whatever I heard was right. "Yes...but I won't tell you who it is...not now...I need to talk about it with my friend...and I will let you know...but be ready Hoseok...future might hold anything" He said. "But dad...I-I can't get married...I'm just 18..." I said. "Hoseok...we don't have any choice...I will have to sell the company if you don't agree" I said.

"N-No! U-umm...give me some time to think about it..." I said. "Ok son..." My dad said.

"What?! They told you that you have to get married with one of dad's friend's daughter?!" My sister asked in shock making me nod. "Noona...I'm not ready...there are so many things I want to do before getting married...but grandad's company is more important" I said. "Hoseok...think from your heart...not brain..." My sister said. "I'm confused...my heart says yes...but my brain says no" I said. "I won't give you wrong advice...but listen to the inner voice, speaking inside of you...you might find your soulmate and you can save grandad'a company too..." She said as I nodded. "Thanks Noona...I will see you at home tonight...I will leave now..." I said as she nodded. "Sure. Bye!" She said. "Bye!" I waved back and left the office.

"Dad...I have decided..." I said "W-What have you decided, Hobi...?" He seemed nervous as my tone was serious. "I will do it" My lips curved up in a wide smile seeing my dad happy but shocked. "Thank you so so so much Hoseok...thank you so much..." He said before hugging me. "No problem dad...no problem..." I said with a sigh.
