Clearing the Air
Arranged Love“Talk.” I sighed while I spun my coffee cup in my hands. I didn’t want to be here, and I didn’t hide it either. My father and I…after my mother died we just grew more apart. We didn’t come together like a family should and support each other. My father became violent and had regular drunken nights. I still, technically, live with him but most of the time I crashed at Dongwoon or Junhyung’s place. Anything to escape him.
“You have to understand why I’m doing this-“
“To better your company.”
He glared at me. “Enough with the attitude.”
“Sorry. Force of habit.” I spat.
He leaned back and started rubbing his temples.
“I’m trying my best here as a father. Gikwang is a good man-“
“Do you know that? Have you actually sat and talked to him? Asked him about his life?” I raised an eyebrow at my father’s silence that answered for itself. He hadn’t talked to him. Gikwang was as much as a stranger to me as he was to my father. Just great. I could be marrying a serial killer but as long as it benefits the company, right?
“It’s obvious you don’t have much to say. So, let me talk.” I squared my shoulders. “I will go through with this marriage. Only because I don’t feel like fighting with you and it will help the company. As the heir I need to make sure it’s good and strong before I take it over. I don’t want a crumbling empire. But when I’m married never call on my again. I owe you no more favors. This will be the last.”
He nodded.
“But, and I can’t believe I’m saying this, if I have children with him you have, have to be in their lives. You will not be absent for the most of it like you were for mine. Araso?” I asked. I have to admit, I was probably being a little harsh as a daughter. But I thought of this as a contract and I was a business woman right now.
“Araso.” He agreed.
“Perfect. Call this, Gikwang, and set up a dinner date for him and me. I will talk to him about our current situation before anything else happens.” I sighed and stood. My father just sat there. “I’ll be leaving first.”
I placed a tip on the table and walked out. I was glad it was Saturday. No work. And I really needed my friends. I pulled out my phone and called Junhyung. “Hey. I need to hang out today. Are you free?”
“Hang out?! YOU?!” I chuckled. “I am totally free for you. Especially when you want to hang out.” I could practically hear his smile.
“Good.” I tried to sound serious but a smile was playing around my lips. He’s already making me feel better. “Call Dongwoon. And let’s…” Uh-oh…I want to hang out but I don’t know where to go!
I could hear him laughing. “Let’s meet at the mall and talk about it then.”
I nodded. “Araso.” We hung up and I started walking for the mall.
Whenever I got the chance I chose to walk. I got tired of drivers and people constantly doing things for you. It frustrated me. Like I wasn’t capable of handling myself.
“LET GO!” I turned around and saw a familiar lady trying to pull her purse out of the grasp of a teenager.
“Hey!” I ran over. The guy panicked. He looked like he was not even in his 20’s yet. I sighed.
“Let go of her purse.” I warned.
“Or what?” He growled and pulled harder. The purse slipped out of her hands and he started running.
Despite my heels I pursued him. It turned out to be easier than I expected to out run him. When I did I spun around and brought my arm out. It caught around his shoulders and I took a step forward bringing my arm down and slamming him into the concrete.
I stepped on his chest to keep him from getting up. “Or that.” I said with a smirk. He was groaning in pain and the lady, who I recognized to be Gikwang’s mother, came running up.
“Thank you.” She said panting. I let the kid up and handed the purse to her. Her eyes widened when she realized who it was. She immediately bowed.
I sighed, frustrated. “None of that. We’ll be family soon.”
She smiled at me. I cleared my throat and said goodbye to her.
“Wait! What can I do to repay you?”
I chuckled. “Just take care of yourself.” I waved to her and kept walking to go meet up with the guys.
