Earlier that day~~~

Sehun's POV

My brother was sat at his oak desk when I entered the room. His office was almost identical to my fathers, except there was no family portrait gleaming on the wall. He was like that. He didn't have time for family, least of all me, when there was a goal in his sight. Work and business was constantly on his mind. I often thought that work was the reason he was so cold to me, because i was a threat to his future goals. But of course it hadn't alway's been like that.

I silently sighed before forcing a smile on my face. "Hyung" I greeted him, bowing. He barely spared me a glance before returning to the papers on his desk. After an awkward moment of silence I decided to sit down at the leather chair near his desk. "Don't sit down. You won't be here long" he said curtly. The smile on my face withered but I stood up anyway, trying to look as pleasent as I could. "Hyung, why did you call for me? I there something you need doing?" I asked, the excitement in my voice obvious. It wasn't often I was called in by my brother. He usually didn't have time to see me, not that he really wanted to recenly. 

He finally put down his pen and looked up, straightening his tie in the process. The look in his eyes stabbed at my chest. His eyes were cold and distant. I often wondered if that was the only thing we had in common. The ability to push people away with just the expression in our eyes. "Don't misunderstand. I only wanted to know how the arrangement between you and the Moon's daughter is going. Ji Eun is it?" he said. For some reason the look in his eyes and his tone was starting to annoy me. "Ji Yoon" I corrected him, my voice dropping some of it's warmth. His expression barely changed. "Hyung" I suddenly said. My request was burning on my tongue. Though I knew I would regret it if he agreed, I couldn't help but feel that it's what she wants. And wouldn't it be better for both of us? Taking a deep breath I continued, "Is there anyway I can cancel the engagement?" I finally asked, my voice losing some of it's previous confidence. 

Finally there was life on my brothers face, but it wasn't exactly what I had hoped for. Or maybe it was. A shadow seemed to appear as his expression darkened. "Cancel?" he said in almost desbelief. "Are you being serious right now?" he snapped. It was at times like this where everything from his tone to his body language let me know how rediculous I was being. That he was more powerful than me and I was a fool. He scoffed in fake amusement. "Why? Do you not like it?" he said, but I knew that I wasn't supossed to answer. After a short pause he sighed and twirled the pen between his fingers. "Listen here Sehun" he suddenly said. I looked up, and hated how vunerable I looked and felt infront of my brother. "You've already had your chance to do whatever rediculous thing you wanted to do with your life when you were in America" he said in his bland voice. It frustrated me that he thought so little of my dreams when I've tried my hardest not to get in the way of his. "And you ruined it. So now, if you want to continue your happy lifestyle, you have to do what's best for the family. Just do your part, and live quietly. I don't want your presonal dramas and desires getting in the way. It's about time you seperated your personal life from business. Understand?" he lectured. Each word he had said had chipped away at the hope I held for a better relationship with my brother. And though I already knew it, I couldn't help but think is that what I was? Just a nusance in my brothers life? 

"So is my personal life just business to you? Is my future just part of your ambitions? Like i'm some sort of pawn for you to play and alter around with?" I said, my voice quiet but full of anger. However it didn't affect my brother. He knew I would never truly turn against him, and that was what he used to control me. "That's all I called you in for. You can go" he said, his face and tone devoid of emotion as he ignored what I had just said. My heart hammered loudly in my ears and unconciously my hands curled into fists. I stormed out of the room, fighting back the tears that only my brother could ever cause.

I slammed the door of my car as I got in and sat there, unsure what to do. Out of frustration I punched the steering wheel, which only resulted as a pain in my knuckle. Sighing I swung my head back and closed my eyes, rubbing my temples. It may seem ungrateful of me, but I couldn't help but think why was my life like this. I'd rather be poor with a happy family than rich with no love at all. Not that it was impossible to have a succesful family who were close. Ji Yoon-ah, for example, was very close to her family. Or her brother at least. Originally that was one of the reasons I had been so interested and facinated by her. Because she had a bond with her brother, a bond that seemed unfamiliar to me now. Maybe that had been part of the reason as to why I had agreed to the marriage. Because at least then I might belong to something, belong to a family. Belong to someone. And that someone was Jessica. It was at that moment I promised myself that I wouldn't create a family where Jessica was thrown into an unfamiliar world with no love. Because as much as I tried to deny it a part of me was beginning to care about her and each day it was getting harder for me to keep up the cold wall between us. It wasn't love that was making me feel this way about her, but it was something. 

A/N~~ Sorry that this chapter wasnt really exciting. I just felt like I had to let you know a bit about Sehun's personal life that he's trying to hide from Jessica. I hope this helps you understand his character a bit more. Hopefully i'll update soon with a more eventful chapter. Until then leave any feed back in the comments section below and don't forget to suscribe if you haven't already done so :) Thankyou for reading! Anneyong!
