Chapter 19
Lost LoveSehun walks into his office just to be stunned when he saw his father sitting on the chair behind his desk with his step mother standing next to him. His face turned cold and went up to his father.
“Father.”
His father looked at him with an upset face. “What is it that I hear you not having lunch with Irene the other day? You didn’t even come back to work after lunch and that you went off with a girl?” he asked Sehun with a blank face.
Sehun looked back at his father with cold eyes. “I don’t think what I do in spare time is any of your concern. I went out with a friend. Simple as that.”
“A friend? What kind of friend is so important that you ignored Irene when she came all the way to your office to be with you?” his dad asked with edge in his voice.
“Like I said. Its none of your concern.” Sehun said not backing down.
His father slammed his hands on the desk and stood up, “None of my concern?! I had to be asked about it at dinner last night with Junki! Do you know how embarrassing it was for me to tell him I didn’t know the reason why my own son ditched his precious daughter?!”
“Then stop it.” He said with a cold voice and hard eyes. “You know I have no interest in her so stop this stupid thing. She annoys me. There is no future in this.”
“You will do as I say! I am your father and your president! I can take away everything you have worked for Oh Sehun. You will listen to me and do as I say. You will take Irene out today for a date and you will be nice to her. DO YOU UNDERSTAND?!”
“and if I refuse?”
“Then say goodbye to that place.”
Sehun widened his eyes. He wouldn’t. He wouldn’t.
“Irene will be here in an hour for your date. I am a man of my words Sehun.” With that he left the Sehun’s office. Sehun clenched his fist and punched the wall. That bastard.
Areum felt a pair of arms tightened around her body. She unconsciously snuggled closer to the warmth. She breathed in a sigh of content until she felt something strange. Why were there hands around her? Kris should already be at work. She opened her eyes to the sight of Kris’s eyes looking down at her smiling.
“Well, hello there. I see that you couldn’t keep away from me huh? How is it? Is my body that tempting that you had to push your face into my chest so much?” He smirked.
Areum rolled her eyes at him but nonetheless snuggled back into his chest. “What are you doing here? Aren’t you supposed to be at work?” she mumbled into his chest. Kris shook his head and pressed his lips to her head.
“I actually finished my work for the week already so I can spend some time with you today.” He lifted her chin to him and kissed her on the lips. “How about the tour around Seoul that has been long overdue?” he said as he kissed her again.
Areum smiled into the kiss and nodded her head. “But first let’s sleep some more.” And pressed her face back to his chest. Kris chuckled and tightened his hold on her and they both drifted back to sleep.
A cup of coffee was place onto the desk. It was just how he liked it. A cup of coffee to help him start his day. Wendy smiled at it and walked out of Kris’s office and back to her desk to wait for him to arrive. The best part of her day. Wendy sat down and started to work on the files on her desk. Time started passing by. 30 minutes after work has officially started and he still haven’t arrived yet. Wendy furrowed her eyebrows. Did something happen? He’s not usually late. He doesn’t have anything scheduled for this morning either. Is he sick? An hour passed and she was starting to get antsy. Where is Kris? She saw Taejoon walk passed and called out to him.
“Taejoon!” he stopped and looked at the girl.
“Mr. Wu is not here yet. Do you think something might have happened to him?” she asked worriedly.
Taejoon furrowed his eyebrows, “Mr. Wu took the day off today.” His statement made the other workers stop and look at Taejoon with expressions asking why. He sighed, “Mr. Wu has been working on files all week. He finished all of them. So there was no point of him coming to work today when he already finished right?”
“But why? He didn’t need to rush.” Eunbi said.
“Probably because of his fiancé.” Taejoon replied and that got everyone more curious especially Wendy.
“She made him finish work?” Kihyun asked.
“No stupid. He probably wanted to spend the day with her. He asked me yesterday about places around Seoul to take a lover. He probably wanted to spend the day with her.” he answered and walked back to work.
“Man, she is one lucky girl. I wish I had a boyfriend like Mr. Wu.” Minah said,
“Yeah maybe in the next life.” Kihyun said and laughed as they went back to work. Wendy eyes narrowed and fisted her skirt. That woman. What is so special about her. Just wait Park Areum, Kris Wu will be mine. She promised as she angrily dumped the coffee into the sink.
“Where do you want to go? We wasted most of the day sleeping in.” Kris said to Areum as they were walking down the streets in Seoul in casual wear after a late lunch.
“I don’t know you choose!”
“How about Namsan Tower?”
Areum nodded her head, “I always wanted to go to Namsan Tower with my boyfriend.” She said softly as a memory of a certain someone she wanted to go there with flashed in her mind. She quickly shook it off. “Let’s go!” she said excitedly swung her and Kris's interlocked hands.
“Whoa there’s so many locks.”
Areum said amazed and awe. She looks up to Kris.
“Do you know how the love locks started?” she asked him. He shook his head. Areum turned to look back at the locks. “This is one story I heard. The story dates back to War World 1 from a Siberian tale. There was a woman who fell in love with a Siberian officer. They fell in love and committed to each other and got engaged. The officer then went to war in Greece. While there he fell in love with someone else. He then broke off the engagement with the woman back home. The woman never recovered from her heartbreak and died after because of her unfortunate love. After that women from the woman’s hometown wanted to protect their own loves and started writing their names on locks, with the names of their love ones, on padlocks at th
