𝗦𝗛𝗘 𝗖𝗔𝗧𝗖𝗛𝗘𝗦 𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗦𝗘𝗟𝗙 𝗪𝗢𝗡𝗗𝗘𝗥𝗜𝗡𝗚 what exactly this marriage will mean for her. there are ulterior motives behind everything her parents do, a wish to make their heir appear the best she can, and perhaps this is how they believe sunyoung will finally live up to her potential in the business world. she knows, of course, that they could not care less about whether or not this will actually be a successful, or happy, marriage for any of the girls.
there is a huge compliment in hyejeong’s comment that lets sunyoung believe there is the slightest ounce of hope for them. the best she dares to wish for is friendship — forever the pragmatic, sensible. feelings is something she doesn’t dare to tread close to no matter the situation. « you know, i think i’ll quite like you too, » she smiles carefully.
that boost of confidence is all she needs to recognize that both of them deserve better than this. though horribly out of character, and an idea she undoubtedly didn’t even bother to entertain a second ago, the girl turns to her wife-to-be. « maybe we really should just .. get out of here while we can. »
hyejeong didn’t know what kind of woman she would end up spending the rest of her days with, if she were to spend the rest of her days with one to begin with, but she can’t help to picture the two of them with their aforementioned dogs in a penthouse apartment watching the sun go down behind large windows. they look good, she admits to herself, though that’s not hard to do with two beautiful women.
there’s a small part of her that hopes sunyoung isn’t just agreeing with her for her sake. she’s not the planner her mother is, preferring to throw caution to the wind, but something tells her the other isn’t quite the same. and she understands, there’s still a lot to scrutinize about their partnership, things to find about about each other, kinks to work out between them. but for now, she’s genuinely surprised in the best way at sunyoung’s suggestion.
she claps her hands together, solidifying the decision, ‘ sounds great. ’ hyejeong is already up and shrugging back into her fur coat, downing the rest of the wine in the glass. she wipes the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand. ‘ we can head out the back and catch a cab across the street if you’re down to get a little gritty. ’
