I woke up the next morning my eyes sore, my face buried in someone's chest, arms draped over me protectively. I jerk away seeing Ravi his eyebrows furrowed groaning before he blinked his eyes open "ow, good morning to you too" i looked down at myself seeing that i was clothes, he chuckled "Haeun, nothing happened, i went to the bathroom and heard you crying and sounded like you were having a bad dream, i tried to wake you up but you wouldn't, so i sat next to you, after a few minutes you stopped crying and curled up against me. So i stayed I'm sorry" he cast his eyes down, i softened "t-that's the sweetest thing anyone has ever done. Thank you" i blushed his eyes met mine his soft, sweet, brown eyes, my heart clenched in my chest remembering last night, "i have to go.." i got up "my parents are going to freak as it is. Give me your phone so we can text each other" he handed it to me, i quickly put my number in handing it back to him " I'll see you later" i forced a smile hoping it looked convincing. I waved goodbye before changing back into my clothes and leaving... i opened the Hotel door my parents still home, i froze as my father turned to glare at me "so you are alive, you took off out of no where, leave your wallet your phone. The Chois are not happy, so you are going to be spending time with Seung Hyun today" i nodded walking toward my room "oh and Haeun, marriage isn't about love, your Umma and i tolerate each other, we didn't love each other when we married. All that matters is power, remember that. If you don't marry that boy consider yourself gone, dissowned, you'll ruin everything i built making you mean nothing to me" he threatened, i froze my mind going to Ravi. I clenched my fists forcing myself not to cry.i walked into my bedroom refraining from slamming the door. "He will be here soon clean yourself up" my father shouted. I didn't want to go on another date with that boy, i didn't want to marry him either, what would i tell Ravi? Just thinking of him  made my eyes well up with tears. I squared my shoulders i wasn't going to cry. Ill just have to get him to cancel it. I threw on a pair of jeans and a baggy black t shirt with white sneakers. I left the hotel not saying anything as i passed by my father. " Haeun ah" i cringed a little hearing Seung hyun say my name, i turned seeing him standing against the wall arms over his chest. "You know it wasn't very nice running out on us the other night" he pushed himself away from the wall walking over to me grabbing my chin hard with his hand making me wince. He brought his face close to mine "you disappointed me and my family. Don't let it happen again, understand??" He raised his eyebrows, his tone threatening, i swallowed hard and nodded, he chuckled letting go of my face and grabbing my arm half dragging me outside where his car was waiting. He opened the back door nudging me inside as he slid in beside me "go" he told the driver and relaxed against the seat, i sat staring out my window, "schools starting again soon. You'll be the prettiest there hands down" Seunghyun spoke his voice softer than its usual deep emotionless voice, i looked over at him, his stare heating my skin. "I uh. Thanks" i replied my gaze on the leather seat. I heard him chuckle "look Haeun, i know how you feel about this marriage thing, when my Appa told me about it i was shocked but, it could be worse. Your a cute girl and your nice so i figured it wouldn't be all bad" i blinked several times. I didn't reply instead turning my gaze back outside. The car stopped in front of a restaurant, Seunghyun getting out first then me after. I followed him inside and to our seats. I was looking over the menu while taking a sip of the glass of water on the table "hello Mr. Choi, Good afternoon I'll be your waiter, Kim Won Shik" i choked coughing on the water hearing his name, "you okay miss?" Ravi asked getting near me, i hid my face in the menu, i gave  a thumbs up. "Sorry Won Shik, Haeun here is shy and quiet" Seunghyun chuckled "Haeun?" I heard Ravi whisper, i looked at him, his expression hurt and confused. I was about to say something but remembering who i was with i kept my mouth shut, hoping that he can read my eyes. He turned away from me "would you like the usual?" He asked Seunghyun, he nodded "make that two." Seunghyun replied. I pulled out my phone "sorry Omma text me" i lied, i quickly text Ravi 'please. Let me explain, meet me at the beach at 8 when its dark, I'll tell you everything' ii sent it putting my phone away so Seunghyun wouldn't get suspicious, when our food arrived i barely touched it only picking up small pieces of rice with my chop sticks and bringing it to my mouth. "Have you found a apartment yet? Have you ordered your uniform, scheduled your classes?" He asked throughout lunch trying to start a conversation but my mind to preoccupied with thoughts of Ravi, so i answered with 'no, yes, no' by four we finished eating and back in the car "what would you like to do now?" He asked, i let out a sigh "Seunghyun i don't care. Pick whatever you want to do." And so we went to the hockey arena where i watched him play, I'll admit he was very talented. I rubbed my arms trying to warm myself up. "Hi I've never seen you before, you must be the fiance TOP was talking about. Im Sandra Park, Kwon Jiyongs fiance" a girl smiled holding out her hand. "Im Kang Haeun" i said quietly and shook her hand " they come here often to play" she jerked her head to the five of the boys on the ice skating from one end to the other fighting over the puck. "You don't talk much do you?" I shook my head snapping out of my thoughts "sorry, Sandra just have a lot on my mind." I lifted a shoulder "i want to be friends" she blurted out with a happy smile on her face. I couldn't help but return it "sure id like that too" she clapped her hands together "ah they must be finished, here take my number we should hang out some time there are a couple other girls that couldn't make it today but you have to meet them" she stood up and waved good bye. I looked down at my watch i didn't have much longer until i had to meet Ravi. "Yah. Here you look cold" i jumped hearing Seunghyuns voice behind me i turned around, he was drying his hair with a towel holding out a cup. I reluctantly took it and sipped it. Hot tea, "mmm thank you Seunghyun ssi" he sat down next to me and let out a aggravated sigh "why do you speak so formally to me?" He asked, i blinked and looked over at him "i, that's what i was told to do." He neared my face making my eyes cross, his fingers brushed my cheek bone "you had an eyelash, make a wish" he held it out in front of my face, i looked at him with one brow raised, i blew the eyelashe off his finger. "Now, i don't care what they told you, I'm telling you. Call me Top, or Oppa" he winked a small smirk on his face "uh, ill call you Top then" i took another sip of the tea so i wouldn't have to say anymore. I felt his eyes on me "your very beautiful Haeun, i hope you know that" he said softly, my face heated up for some odd reason "come on I'll get you home" he stood up holding out his hand, i stood up without taking his hand he seemed disappointed but i had other things on my mind. I needed to see Ravi...... When we arrived at the hotel i reached for the handle but he stopped me pulling my face towards his his lips pressed against mine, my stomach flipped i pulled away "goodnight Top" i hurried out of the car and up to the room. I didn't have much time before i had to meet Ravi. My father was sitting in the den " how did it go?" He asked i felt anger grow in my gut but i press my lips together knowing he wasn't finished "i have the apartment picked out, they are moving your things tomorrow I'm being kind enough to leave Minsuh and Jinwoo to you. So have your things packed and ready to go before 10am tomorrow, your Omma and i are going home. Here are the keys, im going to go to bed i suggest you do the same" he stood up leaving the keys on the table going to his room. I clenched my fists but knowing i didn't have much time i hurried to my room to change i put on a black and white knit sweat shirt with oversized sleeves and a fresh pair of jeans. I brushed my hair sprayed perfume and grabbed my flip flops, holding them in hand and tip toed to the room door closing it quietly behind me, then rushed to the elevator not pushing the button quick enough.. i left the hotel hurrying to the beach, running to the spot i said to meet at, checking my watch 8:05 i made it before him. I bent over hands on my knees taking a breath... I checked my watch 8:50 i let out a sigh i was foolish to think hed be here. I stood up my legs numb for sitting in one place for so long. I turned my eyes settling on Ravi a few feet away standing with his hands in his pockets staring at me "took you long enough to turn around" he spoke his voice husky, his eyes never leaving me as he walked over to me. "Ravi.." i felt my eyes sting with tears barely able to speak his name. "Shh don't cry.." his thumb whipping a tear from my eye, his gentle hands on the sides of my face.
