❝He is a broken mess that pretends to be perfect❞

❦Chapter one❦

I looked at my side with a blank expression as I studied the person beside me. The woman was gorgeous to say the least, her petite face and body made her feel delicate
in every way. It made people crazy for her and I wasn't an exception because at the end of the day we ended up in the same bed together.

I ran my hand through my red hair that I dyed recently and got up from the bed. Grabbing my robe, I covered myself before walking to the balcony for a smoke.

The cold air hit me when I opened the glass door and I couldn't help put on a small frown as I shivered and held the robe tighter to my body. I sighed and leaned on the railing, bringing out a cigarette from the pack, my thumb touched the side of the box letting out it flames and I brought it close to the cigarette.

The sent of thick smog made me relaxed and my eyes closed with ease. I continued to breathe in silence, gazing at the tall buildings that surround the hotel.

After so many years I finally returned to Korea but not because I want to.

My name is Kim Hana, the second grandchild of Kim Dong-wook, one of the richest man in South Korea. He is the CEO of Kim's enterprise, a company that deals with oil production and he is the only man that I could never disobey.

The fact that he called me over to Korea is already suspicious and I couldn't help think that the reason would be about that condition we made before I left the country.

"If you don't want anything to do with the company then get ready to get married to whoever I choose"

My eyes looked ahead and I smiled softly as I stared the pretty stars that seemed to light the whole city.

I guess it's time to fulfill that condition.

☁The next day☁

"Hana!" my mom screamed as she enveloped me into a tight hug that I could hardly breath in. I tapped her shoulder and smiled wanting her to pull away so she wouldn't suffocate me right there. I admit it was nice seeing her after all these years, I mean we usually facetime and text but I always did miss being with her.

I looked over at my dad and he chuckled finally pulling her away from me. When she is away, I held a hand to my chest wanting to control my breathing but only to be hugged again by my older brother, Kim Seokjin. I could feel his arms tightly wrapped around me in a bear hug that made me almost fall from the pressure of his body on mine.

His body shook and I rolled my eyes patting the big baby.

"Are you crying?" I asked as I felt the wetness on my clothes. He nodded his head and I roughly pushed his body away with another eyeroll.

"You met me two weeks ago back in the states" I said as a matter of fact which only made him pout.

"Don't worry, I brought Aunt's homemade cookies" I finally said what he wanted to hear and he grinned leaning on my shoulders.

"That's my favorite sis" This man is obsessed with my housekeeper, Aunt Misun's food. Since I denied him trying to steal her away from me, he would usually come all the way from Korea just to eat a meal in my house rather than see his dear sister.

I scoffed at Jin and my dad smiled at our interactions before telling me to go to my room to rest.

I packed my clothes out of the luggage neatly arranging them into my closet. My room was just how I left it and not a single thing changed except from the new teddy bear that laid on my bed. I wonder why my dad thought it was a good idea to gift a 27 year old a teddy but then again it is the same dad that still think of me as his teenage daughter. Now thinking about how he cried when I left the country made me chuckle a little before glancing away from the teddy.

"So are you really going on with this marriage?" Jin asked popping a cookie into his mouth as his feet dangled at the edge of my bed.

He laid on his elbow and watched me with a concerned look but I chose to ignore his question and got on with arranging my things.

I didn't want to get married especially to a man. After breaking up with the man that I dated for eight years. I was left broken, shattered and with a scar of betrayal. The only reason I got over it was by leaving everything that reminded me of him even Korea itself. So for four years, I stayed in America and started dating women perhaps because I had the impression that all men were the same as him.

Jin sighed and walked up to me. I looked up at him as he rubbed my head with a sad smile. I wanted to tell him to not mess with my hair but I knew he just wanted to comfort me so I smiled but gave him my infamous glare before nudging his shoulder with my elbow.

"Stop, I just got my hair done"

He chuckled and sat on the bed, bringing out his phone from his pocket to make me have a look. My eyes went to his phone and I raised my eyebrows questioning why he would show me pictures of two attractive guys.

Is he leaning that way.

I smirked and wiggled my eyebrows at him, teasing him a bit. His face immediately got red and he shook his head.

"Those are the grandsons of grandpa's best friend, Mr Kim Joohyuk" he quickly explained and I nodded my head understanding what he is trying to say.

Grandpa's childhood best friend's name is Kim Joohyuk. I heard they bonded because they had the same surname and ever since they've been close despite their old age and them being rich business men.

"So one of these two might become my future husband" I muttered under my breath, my eyes staying longer on the last picture.
