"Are you serious Luhan?" I shouted but not loud enough for our families to hear. 

"Yes Seo I am." Luhan said almost in a whispered tone. He stepped forward and reached out for my hand to which I snatched away from his reach. 

"Your crazy Luhan." I looked at him with disgust while he stood there with an almost seeming frustrated expression. 

"I'm crazy for loving you" Luhan spoke quietly placing his gaze on the ground. 

"First of all you didn't love me. You never loved me! And second don't you get what is going on Luhan. MARRIAGE! They want us to get married by force" I spoke clearly angered by my own words and closed my eyes tightly to control my anger.

"No one is forcing you Seohyun. I thought you agreed to it. That's what my parents told me. I would never force you to do anything" I was completely shocked with his response as he held my hand and squeezed it lightly. His eyebrow were furrowed to show that he was serious and his eyes, his eyes that glistened in the moonlight staring straight into mine.

"I only agreed because I would loose my inheritance if I didn't" I stood my ground showing my authority and will power to stay strong and not melt under his gaze - as usual.

"Your marrying me because of money?" His face turned to one of sorrow, his eyes saddened and his lips frowned.

"I will not marry you!" I couldn't help but become frustrated with his lack of know how. He let go of my hand lightly and turned his back to me as he exited the balcony.

"Like it or not Seo Joohyun. You will marry me whether you like it or not" He whispered in a deep husky voice that sent shivers down my spine whether from fear or lust I could not figure out. I was left there in the cold and figure out my thoughts. Then it hit me 'his grilfriend, cheating. My parents would never let me marry him if they found this out'. Relief flushed over me as I met with a plan.

Inside the Xi house (Author's POV)

"Luhan!" Mrs Xi called for him as she walked up to the boy whose head was down.

"Luhan, what's wrong?" Mrs Xi lifted Luhan's head to reveal his melancholy face.

"She doesn't want to marry me. She only agreed to get her inheritance" Luhan whispered leaning his head against his mother's shoulders and she enveloped him in a hug.

"Don't worry Luhan dear. Everyone who gets into an arrange marriage just needs a little push, this is hers. Don't worry I am sure she will fall back in love with you." Mrs Xi reassured her son as Mr Xi, Mr Seo and Mrs Seo approached them.

"What is this about inheritance?" Mr Xi asked overhearing bits of the conversation as he was chatting to the Seo family.

"Is it about Seohyun not getting her inheritance unless she marries you" Mr Xi spoke with a glass of wine in his hands. Luhan lifted his head off of his mother's shoulders to give the man a nod as he placed his hands in his pockets feeling much weaker than he thought. 

"Don't worry about that Luhan. We only told her that so she would agree to marry you. She is our only daughter ofcourse the inheritance is hers. We just needed to give her a little push. You know how stubborn she can be" Mrs Xi explained. Luhan was shocked and untterly appalled by their parents' behaviour. 

"You can't do that! She already hates me. When she finds out she wi--" Luhan spoke in a panicked tone to which their parents gave a calm expression as they had the entire plan laid out. 

"It's a good idea. Don't worry Luhan. When she finds out she will be so in love with you that she won't care." Mr Xi held his son's shoulders giving some reassurance.  

"Let's eat" Mrs Xi announced as she placed her hands together then gestured the Seo family to the room. 

"Sweetie, the dining room with the bar. We men need out alcohol" Mr Xi called earning a glare from Mrs Xi and a chuckle from the Seo family and Luhan. 

In the diningroom (Seohyun's POV) 

Mr Xi was seated at the head of the table. On his left was Mrs Xi, Luhan and Taeyeon in that order. On this left was Krystal, me and Mrs Seo with Mr Seo seated at the other end of the table. Unluckily for me I was seated across from Luhan. Throught the meal I caught him staring out me which made me annoyed and uncomfortable. I decided that I had enough so I kicked him under the table. 

"Ouch!" Luhan jumped up from his seat. 

"What's wrong Luhan?" Mr Xi and everyone else showed concern.

"Nothing appa, I hit my foot against the chair. Hard wooden chairs" Luhan chuckled it off rubbing his hand on the back of his nape. He sat back down and stared at me giving me a death glare while I smirked at him in return.

"Ofcourse. The best quality chairs. Hard as metal but more appealing" Mr Xi boasted in an amusing manner. I looked back at Luhan who was still staring at me.

"Stop staring or I will kick you again" I mouthed. Despite the fact we were in the middle seats no one took notice as everyone's attention was on the door that lead to the kitchen revealing chefs and plates in their hands ready to serve us. Luhan shook his head in response, the death glare never leaving. I decided the kick him again to show I was serious. I kicked my leg in his direction. Unfortunately I struggled as Luhan caught my left leg with both his legs. He wrapped both his legs around my left leg to prevent me from kicking him. I struggled to set my leg free but Luhan only tightened his grip.

"Seohyun, are you okay?" Mr Xi asked me. Now everyone's concerned eyes were on me.

"Yes, Mr Xi. Luhan was right. This chairs are strong" I giggled lifting the tension in the room.

"Ahh you two. Remind me to order more durable chairs for your new house. Who knows what accidents might take place with you two and chairs" Mr Xi spoke in an amused done earning chuckles from all our parents. 

"New house!" I raised my voice catching their attention. I looked over to Luhan who placed his head down, avoiding my gaze and removed his legs from mine. 

"Yes. When you two are married you will live in your own house" Mrs Xi informed me. I found it much harder to breath as I sat there once again controlling my composure. 

"Are you alright my dear? I know this is too much to take in but--" My mother held my shoulders and spoke with softness. 

"This is all too much. Arranged marriage to my ex, loosing my inheritance, new house... is there anything I missed out" I spoke obviously frustrated.

"Yes" Mrs spoke with caution looking towards each adults before laying her eyes on me.

"The wedding is next month, a week after your birthday" Mrs spoke in a gentle voice. Before I knew it my head felt something hard and the room went blank.

 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I woke up on something soft. I looked around the room finding I wasn't in the diningroom but I was in the Xi mansion. I was in one of the guest rooms. 

"Hey, you're awake" A loud voice entered my room. 

"What happened?" I asked feeling my head burning. 

"You fainted when my mother told you of the wedding plans" Taeyeon sat on the side of my bed. 

"Oh my gosh. The marriage is real?" I laid my head against my knees feeling weak, 

"Yes, I'm so sorry Seohyun. For everything. You know that right?" I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I felt anger surging through my veins. 

"Taeyeon after everything, you think a simple 'sorry' would fix it." I spoke lifting my head to meet her with a death glare. 

"Seo, there was a misunderstanding. I got mad but when I found out I wanted to apologise my you never gave me the chance. So I thought I should just leave you alone. I thought I would only hurt you more" Taeyeon explained with pleading eyes.

"After everything that happened you thought that LEAVING me was the best thing to do. After you let people step on me, harrass me... hurt me. You thought I would be better off ALONE. I picked myself back up. I got my life back to normal with BETTER friends. I smiled through everything everyone has thrown at me. I left school everyday feeling horrible about myself but I refused to let you all see me weak. I came home everyday and cried my heart out so I wouldn't shed anymore tears. Do you know what all the times of torment did to me?" Through my tears blurring my vision I could see a shadow from the doorway and I knew who it was. I turned to Taeyeon who was sobbing in her hands. 

"I--I--I'm--sss-sooo-sorry" She said between her sobs. 

"Eventhough I will be married to Luhan I will spend everyday trying to get away from him and away from you all" Tears ran down my face as I ran out of the room seeing meeting Luhan's teary face at the doorway.

We looked at each other and didn't utter a word.
