I entered the office building and couldn't stop the smile on my face.

A week has passed and there have been two dates since then. Secretly. With the help of my grandma.

We kissed, held each other and talked, realizing we had so much in common.

Our favorite color is black, we both love dogs and, above all, good food.

Every time we were together, I hoped that time would stand still and the planet would belong to just the two of us.

"Hey Y/n!" shouted Sindy from reception. "That smile suits you!" she winked at me.

Gosh, I should stop walking around here like a bird in love.

When I got to my office, I saw the new team in the meeting room.

I frowned and put my bag on my desk as my father's secretary came in.

"Why is the new team here?" I asked her ...

"Oh, new fireproof racing suits distributed today." she said, put the pile of papers on my desk and left.

That means Jungkook will be here soon, because I could see him.

And there it was again...that smile that I couldn't use here now.

My father's secretary came back and told me to be in my father's office in five minutes.

I nodded and wondered what he wanted. He'd only called me into his office once before and that was when the new team signed the contracts.

I was on my way to my father's office when someone grabbed my hand and pulled me into the company kitchen.

My heart was racing and as soon as the door was closed I felt his lips on mine.

My fingers dug into his shirt and I pulled him closer to me.

"I missed you!" he said softly as he kissed me.

I reluctantly broke the kiss but a slight panic ran through my body.

"You can't just kiss me here, what if someone comes in!" I said and my arms went around his waist.

Jungkook gently ran his palm over my cheek and kissed me tenderly.

"I'll take the risk!" he whispered. " I've missed you. "

"I missed you too!" and a shy smile flitted across my face.

"I ... have a surprise for you!" he kissed the tip of my nose. "A Christmas present!"

"Oh wow.... !" I said... "I don't have one for you yet!"

Jungkook gently took my face between his palms.... "You are my present. "

I smiled in love and kissed the corner of his mouth.

" Can you somehow manage to sneak out tonight?" he asked me.

"It's not easy for me to get out without someone breathing down my neck," I sighed.

"At least try... Please!"

I looked at him and nodded. Every minute without him is a minute wasted.

"I can ask my grandma for help or Sona! I have her to thank that I could go to the ice rink!"

My grip on his waist tightened and I pulled him closer to me.

"We have to be careful Jungkook. " I whispered.

He kissed me tenderly again and I wished time would stand still.

"I'll let you know when and where okay? Before that, I have to make sure everything goes well." he whispered back.

"You have to go before someone catches us..."

"Okay!" and another kiss...

"I'll try anything to be with you!" I breathed ...

"Okay!" and another kiss...

"You go out first!" I carefully pushed him towards the door and our lips were hard to separate.

"You'll have to kick me out because I
find it hard to part with you."
Jungkook whispered between our
kiss.

I smiled and wrapped my arms
around his neck while his hands
went around my waist.

"I'll just make sure I'm with you today." I reply.

"I can hardly wait!" he kissed me, opened the door and left with a wink.

My happiness only lasted this one moment, this one moment with him.

Because I could feel it as I made my way to my father's office.

Still completely wrapped up in love, I touched my lips with a smile. I could still feel his kiss.
I wanted more and was looking forward to this evening.

I was still so full of butterflies in my body that I didn't even realize that half my family was sitting in my father's office.

It was only when I saw my smiling mother that I noticed Junseo and his parents.

His mother was holding his father's hand and, like my mother, she was smiling at me.

"Appa?" I asked, a little confused.

"Sit down Y/nshi!" my mother tapped lightly on the empty seat next to her.

I can hardly remember when my mother affectionately called me Y/nshi.

I became nervous .

That couldn't mean anything good.

I looked at Junseo and frowned questioningly, but he just grinned and winked at me.

"Well...!" my father heaved a deep sigh. "Now that we're all here, let's not beat about the bush."

My mother's hand ran around the surface of mine and her grip was firm.

"Mom? What's going on ?" I whispered.

"Y/n! Behave and don't interrupt your father!" she smiled.

"Business must go on and Mr. Yu and I would delve into this further. " said my father.

"And publicity plays an important role in this. Your publicized engagement brought in good income and you have become important people in society. " my mother couldn't get the smile off her face.

I didn't understand what my parents were getting at.

Suddenly, Mrs. Yu stood up and came over to me.

She knelt down in front of me and let her palm glide gently over my cheek.

I became even more nervous than before.

"I promise you that you will want for nothing with us. I will be a good mother-in-law to you."

I opened my mouth to say something, but no words came out.

My mother turned to me and took my face between her hands.

She was still smiling.

"Your father and I and Mr. and Mrs. Yu have decided to announce your marriage today."

"What?" I could barely get that one word past my lips.

"You and I...we're getting married." Junseo dropped the bombshell.

"No!"... I shook my head, overwhelmed. "No way!"

My mother's hands around my cheeks tightened.

"You don't have a choice Kim Y/n!" and there was that hateful look on my mother's face again.

The one that told me she would be happy to finally be rid of me.

"Doesn't anyone ask me what I want?" I pulled my mother's hands away from my face and stood up.

"Kim Y/n!" my mother stood up and grabbed me by my shoulders.

"You're going to marry Junseo! Act like a Kim already!"

"You're the first one who's happy to be rid of me, aren't you mother? Have you ever loved me, I'm your fucking daughter?" I had barely vented my anger when I felt this burning pain on my cheek.

My mother's slap came out of nowhere...

I held my palm against the spot and looked at my mother in disbelief.

"The press is already invited, you will be at Junseo's side tonight and you will obey." my mother hissed through clenched teeth.

I looked at my father and hoped he would shrug off this rebuke, but I was wrong.

He looked at me just as disparagingly as my mother always does to me.

"What am I to you?" I sobbed quietly. "Don't I have a right to live?"

"Y/nshi!" Junseo's mother touched my back gently, but I backed away. " We're thinking about your future!"

I shook my head ... " You're forcing me into a marriage with an arrogant guy I don't love!"

I backed away until my back touched the door. Then I reached behind me for the doorknob ...

"Fuck you...!" and I ran out.
