The clock ticked in the hospital room. My grandfather, my only family, held my hand weakly.

"Before I go, I want one thing," he whispered. "I want to see you walk down the aisle."

Tears burned my eyes, but I nodded. "I promise."

There was just one problem—I had no groom.

*At university, I sighed to my friends. *"I need to find someone fast."

"Speed-running romance?" Mina smirked.

Before I could answer, someone bumped into me hard.

"Excuse me, move," a deep voice muttered before vanishing.

Rude.

Entering class, I froze. Standing at the front was him, adjusting his sleeves, his expression cold.

"I’m Professor Kang Joo-Hyuk. Let’s begin."

Of course, just my luck.

When Grandpa worsened, I broke down. Joo-Hyuk found me crying.

"What’s wrong?"

I told him everything.

Silence. Then— "Marry me."

I blinked. "What?"

"Let me be the groom."

Tears welled. "You’re serious?"

He cupped my face. "I don’t do things halfway."
