Foreboding

Knowing that you're going to meet someone didn't necessarily make the meeting any easier.

"Tomorrow we'll be meeting them."

You simply nodded your head.

"Please don't make this meeting difficult Lydia."

Well, let's just say that you're not someone that would conform easily to another's whims or wishes and your parents had ample reason to worry about the imminent meeting that had to happen.

Again, all you did was simply nod.

Exasperated that they were only going to get that much of a response of you, your parents simply left your office and a few minutes later, you looked down to observe their sleek silver sedan peel out of the sidewalk down the streets of Seoul.

You didn't even blink an eye.

Instead, you turned back to the work at hand, ignoring the meeting that would take place, whether you liked it or not.

-

And now you were here, in front of the doors of your office, dreading the meeting. You were supposed to meet your “husband” today but you didn’t feel like the happy bride you were supposed to be.

Pushing open the oak doors, you stepped through the threshold in your red heels and the first person you noticed was your future "husband", Johnny Seo Youngho.

True enough, he was like what everyone made him out to be, and you detested him already.

His hair was dishevelled, the brown locks that were way too long would have covered his eyes if not for his long slender fingers that were constantly pushing his fringe back. You immediately thought that he required a haircut. He was dressed casually in denim and as you sat directly opposite him, you could smell the strong alcohol that was practically radiating off his body. Of course, you also don't miss the floral scent that could only belong to a lady.

You stared at him, taking in his features. He was definitely handsome, if not more handsome than the times when you have viewed him through enormous TV screens or behind flutes of champagne when you happened to attend the same functions  as he did out of necessity.  

He was handsome indeed, but not attractive.

Finally realising that your eyes were on him, he lifted his eyes to look at you behind his brown curtain of hair and you wa

Chapter 31: I BINGED. Oh damn wow. This was really good, I can see why you're proud of it. You know how much I love slice of life and the message you're putting across in this could not be more true - our past wounds may heal over time but the scars never fade away. And sometimes we have to come to terms with that, even if it's a painful reality to accept. Really enjoyed this one, Del! Hit me in the feelz

Chapter 31: I absolutely love this story and this is definitely one of the most well written fanfic i have ever read. I do really like the plot twist and the ending. At first i do hope that they would end up together but i guess it just isnt right for lydia to live on with the fear and the doubt she felt. This fanfic really get me thinking about life and i hope you will continue writing such beautiful fanfics.

At first, I didn't like the fact that she decided to leave him after the precious time they had in HK. But slowly a thought came to my mind saying it's not right as well for her to be in a relationship where she doesn't feel right. And partially, it's really not fair for him as well to be in a relationship where his love is doubted, when he's obviously giving his all to her. Its funny how my thoughts immediately went to reality, wondering if someone, somewhere out there living a life exactly like this, did they choose to leave like she did? Or stay and break herself more and his heart along the away? I'll never know. But if I was to be her, I'd do the exact same. Because if two souls are meant to be together, they will always find their way back to each other no matter what. If not, you just have to learn to let go. No matter how hard it gets. If not for the other person, do it for yourself. The void in your soul doesn't always has to be filled with someone else's presence. Sometimes the void can only be filled with your own self. Someone wise once said, you can only love someone else fully, if you learn to love yourself first. Thank you for sticking to your original storyline. If it wasn't for the fact that you went along with this ending, I would've sworn, I'd forget that our feelings- what feels right to the heart and soul- matters the most if happiness is what you seek for in this often mistaken world.

Hai author-nim.
First of all I want to applaud your awesome writing. The way you write your story was really different from the fanfics that are available these days. It almost felt like I was back in my teenage days where I was awake in the middle of the night in my bedroom reading fics that would make me feel like someone was gripping my heart so tight, almost breaking it to pieces. And i didn't mind it at all. These type of fics were always my fav. It's was really an eyeopener and to be honest, just what this tired soul of mine longs for. I'm really glad I found Smudge. I haven't read something that made me look back in life for quite awhile now. Your story made me think alot.
