Rush
Gwen
What's with the rush?
Mrs. Chiu
Sorry darling, but your father and I are already made a decision. Can you go in **** restaurant? Should I call someone to pick you up?
Gwen
I can handle myself, wait for me.
Gwen
Mom want me to go right now, I don't know why.
Urika
Do you need to accompany?
Gwen
No, thank you. Call Astrid for me, thank you.
Gwen hurriedly put her things away and left the bar before their fun could even begin.
She hurried to the restaurant so that their conversation will not take a long hour.
She entered the restaurant, and she saw her parents so as her older brother standing to greet her with seriousness on their faces.
Gwen
💭 What's with the cold atmosphere.
Gavin
You don't need to hurry in this kind of occasion.
Gwen
It's okay, I know they are up to.
She sat down so are they.
They order foods first. Then Gwen started the conversation.
Gwen
So what's all of this about?
Mr. Chiu
We need you in business. I have already done the arrangement for your marriage.
Mrs. Chiu
Hon, you don't have to surprise her with that words.
Gwen
Wow, that's surprisingly funny.
Gwen
You arrange a marriage without my consent?! What kind of father are you!?
Gwen almost stood up from her seat to confront her father.
Mr. Chiu
That's all we need to talk about you.
Mrs. Chiu
Sweety, I know this is a selfish decision but if we don't do this...
Mrs. Chiu
... our business will go bankrupt.
Gwen
Business here, business there! What about me?! I feel like I've been locked in a cage!
Mr. Chiu
Is that what you learned outside? raise your tone in front of your parents? I already said it, that's why I don't want to leave you out of our sight because you're becoming a rebel.
Gwen
Becoming a rebel?! You're suffocating me!
Gavin
Gwen, you don't have a choice. This is the matter of our business. If you refuse, there's no reason you can go to that university with your friends.
Mr. Chiu
Tomorrow, I'll excuse you from your university so that I can introduce you to my business partner,
Gwen
💭 Damn it! How can I tell this to them*?!
*Referring to her friends.
Gwen stop her own mess. Not because her parents want to, because of people in restaurant.
Gwen
That's all? Okay, I'll be leaving because being here in front of your presence is humiliated.
She stood up to leave. Gavin followed her to accompany her going out of the restaurant.
Gavin
Do as you please, take care.
Gwen didn't respond and call a cab. She's going home.
[5 missed calls from Astrid]
[Message from Astrid]
Where are you?
Gwen turns on the silent mode and enters her apartment to rest.
How can she tell this to Astrid and others?
Her friends know how terror Gwen's father is.
Astrid
TSK, why isn't she answering my freaking calls?!
Daria
Stay calm, sit down.
Astrid had been walking around for a while, seemingly restless.
Urika
It's already late, I think she went home.
Astrid rushes out the bar and leave with her motorcycle.
She can't just sit down while her lover isn't beside her.
When he got to Gwen's place, she quickly ran into her apartment.
Astrid kicks the door knob to open.
She saw Gwen lying on the couch...
Gwen woke up from the noise.
Gwen
W-what are you doing here?
Astrid
Why? I can't come here?
Gwen
I'm not on my state of talking to someone at the moment.
Astrid
Why? What happened about the discussion?
Gwen
Dad arranged marriage me to someone I didn't know, his business partner's son.
Astrid
You didn't tell them about us?
Astrid
We should tell them—
Gwen
No! You know the consequences if they find out about this relationship.
Astrid
Why are you so afraid of?
Astrid
Is it because society will judge us?
Astrid
Are you afraid that your father will not accept us because it'll ruin your father's name?
Gwen
Yes! I'm afraid of judgment and what will be my father's reaction after knowing that their only daughter also like same gender.
Astrid pinned down Gwen on the couch.
Astrid
Tell me what you're scared of, so I can rid all of them.
Gwen
No! don't empathize with him here.
Astrid
Alright fine. You'll choose.
Astrid
If you choose me then I'll do everything to fix this but if you go and agree about that arrangement then I'll be distancing myself from you.
Astrid
You can't disobey your parents, can you?
After seeing the guiltless on face of Gwen. Astrid understood her answer.
Astrid gently caress her cheeks with her thumb on Gwen's lips.
Gwen suddenly had breakdown after hearing Astrid's gentleness.
Gwen
I-I don't want to marry anyone except you. Astrid...
Astrid patted her head and fixes Gwen's hair.
Astrid give her a forehead kiss.
Astrid
It's alright, I can fix this.
Gwen's press her lips to hers. The soft cold lips of Astrid and the fiery passionate lips of hers collided. Seriously, who has the courage to kiss Gwen when she's a bad kisser.
Astrid realizes that Gwen has fever and fell asleep from just a ten-second kiss.
Astrid dials a number on her phone.
Astrid
Pick her up here. If you don't want to take her, I will hide her.
Gavin
Give me forty-five minutes.
Astrid turned her gaze on Gwen who's sleeping peacefully. She caresses her, hold her hand, press her lips on Gwen's palm.
She's so in love that she will kill for her beloved.
Astrid
So your father likes rushing things and doesn't care who will be left behind.
Astrid
My love, take a rest. I'll be right back.
Astrid leaves the apartment.
