~Y/N POV~

Ive not by any means been looking forward to this dinner with my suppose fiancé who I've never met. I still don't want to go through with this and I'll never change my mind.

We seated in the restaurant I love so much, the food is great here but I can't enjoy tonight like I usually would coming here.

My dad is currently on the phone to my 'mother' when he went god knows where to do that. Now I'm seated alone in a booth waiting for either my dad to come back or some stranger coming to the table to introduce himself as the man I'm suppose to marry.

I sat on my seat just tapping away at my wine ass in my hand, staring off at the table, just not wanting to be here at all. I think my dad thought coming here would make me feel better but it doesn't, it doesnt change a thing on how I feel about this. I always thought that one day if it was possible I would marry one of the hybrids and we could all live together if that ever became legal for hybrids to marry if not I would of simply gone the rest of my life with them by my side as a family and not slaves, but doesn't seem possible now.

"I'm sorry princess that call took longer than expected." Dad

He said coming back to the table putting his phone away into the pocket of his grey suited trousers and sitting down next to me.

"It's fine."

I mumbled but I didn't bother looking at him but took a sip of my wine. I think I'm going to need this tonight anyway.

"Your mother can't join us tonight so she'll have to meet Suho another time." Dad

"Good. I don't want to see her face anyway."

I mumbled again, resting my glass down on the table. My dad sighed heavily at my attitude.

"Y/n I know you don't want to see her but when it comes to you getting married I'm afraid she has to be for family reasons." Dad

"What family reasons? She's not my mother she lost that right years ago."

"Princess-"

"Excuse me? Hello sir."

A young man interrupted with a nervous smile and a little wave looking right at my dad. In response my dad immediately lit up at the sight of him and stood up to shake his hand.

"Suho it's great that you're here. My wife couldn't make it unfortunately but this is my daughter y/n." Dad

My dad gestures to me with his free hand as Suho nods at me with a friendly smile. I thought he was very good looking his dark brown hair that reminds me of Jimins hair, and his upper lip a little thinner than his bottom but he was attractive.

I stood up from my seat in the booth in what little space I had and decided to bow just to be polite, we might as well get along.

"It's nice to meet you Suho."

"You too y/n, your dad talks about you a lot." Suho

Only just now did I realise how deep his voice is almost as deep as Taehyungs. Everything about him just reminds me of them.

We all sat down again, my dad now seated in the middle of myself and suho. I stayed silent, looking at the menu for what I was in the mood for this time when my dad called the waiter and order more drinks.

"So y/n what are you're interests if you don't mind me asking?" Suho

I put my menu down and looked at him across the table, he was still smiling kindly at me in his nice black suit with a red tie to stand out. Then I looked at my dad who was just gesturing with his head towards Suho with an even wider smile on his face.

"I like swimming and photography. I love the outdoors though."

"Oh me too! There's nothing better than a hike in the woods to enjoy the true beauty of nature." Suho

"That's true. Do you go on hikes often?"

He shook his head disappointedly, quickly glancing at my dad who was looking at him already.

"No I don't. I've been busy working now so I don't get much free time." Suho

He sounded a little upset about that when I noticed how he lowered his head a little. My dad frowned just a little bit before he could say anything the waiter came with more drinks.

The waiter then took our orders and walked away again.

"Suho here works for me remember y/n? Dealing with our finances in the company and he's just been promoted to head of all finances at the age of 24. Youngest in our company yet." Dad

My dad pats his shoulder, grinning fondly at the man beside me. Sighs cheeks turned red with embarrassment and shyly gazed down to his lap.

"Well I'm happy for you Suho."

I picked up my glass of wine again and chugged it down.

"Thank you y/n." Suho

He too picked up his own glass and took a sip of his drink. My dads phone began to ring again and my dad groaned, closing his eyes in frustration exhaling harshly.

"I'm sorry but it's probably your mother again. I'll be right back, excuse me." Dad

I rolled my eyes when he mentioned my mother.

Suho stood up and shuffled out the booth so my dad could do the same and walk out the booth taking his phone back out his pocket and answering with a sharp 'what?' Before walking away from the table to the back of the restaurant.

Now it was just the two of us strangers that hardly knew each other sitting across the table from one another awkwardly. I didn't know what to say to him or how to start off any conversation with him.

"So y/n your dad tells me you've been studying law?" Suho

He awkwardly asks scratching the back of neck in hopes it would start conversation.

"Yes I am. I still have a few years to go but I'll get there eventually."

"Ah, so what made you want to studying that type of thing?" Suho

"I was part of this group for hybrid rights back in high school. Having grown up with hybrids I believe that they should be have the same rights and laws as humans do."

His eyes lit up and he scooted closer to me as if I peaked his interest in some way.

"Oh really? And I thought I was the only strange one." Suho

He chuckled and I looked at him in disbelief.

"Excuse me?"

Panic flashed upon his expression and he rapidly shook his head.

"No, no sorry I didn't mean it like that. I meant I grew up with two hybrids too. One mouse and squirrel hybrids. So I believe that too, they should be equal with us." Suho

He smiled the widest I've seen him tonight so far.

"That's great! What are your hybrids names?"

"The mouse is called Hana. I call her Hana banana because she likes to eat dried bananas all the time and the squirrel is called Youngjae. He's small in build but can put up a fight. He was and still is my best friend. When moved out of my family home I took them with me." Suho

"And your parents let you?"

He nods picking up his glass and taking a quick sip before responding to my question.

"Yes they did surprisingly and they didn't get anymore hybrids either. I think to be honest it was just to keep me company growing up." Suho

Wow. I didn't expect that, I wonder if my dad would be okay with me doing that? Taking the hybrids to come live with me when I officially get my own place. I doubt it but it's forth a thought.

"I grew up with my hybrids too! There's seven of them and I love them very much."

He nods again, with a little laugh.

"Yeah I know. Your dad already told me about them. He made it very clear how close you are with them but don't worry I'm not to judge." Suho

His words shocked me, I didn't know how to respond but blink back at him to which only fielded his laughter.

"It's okay y/n. You can't help who you love but don't tell your dad I told you he knows of your true relationship with the hybrids. He's scary when he gets mad." Suho

He nudged me with his elbow jokingly and I smiled a little bit because it's true that my dad is scary when he's mad. I've not seen it face to face just heard him shouting at someone over the phone from the next room or at my mother about her spending habits.

"So why are you doing this? I mean agreeing to marry a stranger."

Suho licked his lips, his smile faltering a little bit.

"I agreed to do this to help you and the hybrids all over the country. I'm not here to ruin your relationship with the hybrids in no shape or form. I want us to get along and be friends." Suho

He surprisingly reached out the hold my hand on the table while I looked at him confusingly.

"How is us getting married going to help the hybrids all over the country?"

I eyed him suspiciously but he bit his lip to surprise his smile.

"You'll have to wait and find out y/n." Suho

He winked at me and leaned back in his seat against the back of the booth. I opened my mouth to say something but my dads sudden voice cut me off.

"I'm sorry about that. So how is everything you two?" Dad

My dad asked sitting back down on the edge of the booth but as soon as his eyes found Suho touch on my hand my dad beamed with joy.

"Ah! I see you two are getting on well then!" Dad

I only hummed and sat back and removed my hand from Suho to rest on my lap. My dad started to pour more wine into his glass and I couldn't help but look at Suho again who was also staring back at me.

He seems like a nice guy but is he in on this whole secret thing that my dad, Jackson and my hybrids know about?

Because it seems like he does.

Only time will tell I guess.
