Running away from the male lead

Chapter 6: Marry me

I breathe rhythmically as my feet hit the pavement, the morning wind was hitting my face, cooling me down as my body heats up, controlling my anger as I jog through the park. The shirt clung to my skin, a sheen layer of sweat coating my face. Thinking back to last night, I couldn’t help but want to run faster. I make my way home, and enter the gym, stretching as memories flash through my mind. 

Hatred courses through my veins, the humiliation my fiancé served to me on a platter. It was a good thing he never knew the truth about me otherwise I would have never seen his true face, the face of a lowly devil, under deserving and useless but still a devil nonetheless.

He thought he left me for a richer woman, to a family with a better status. Now he is planning on marrying Aecha, from the Lim family. Lim Aecha, the most famous actress in the country. As I punch the punching bag, I can’t believe I nearly married someone again 8 years later. Grabbing the towel from the bench I wipe my face, taking deep breaths. Glancing at my watch to take a look at how many calories I burned, I get up and walk out. I moved back home yesterday night, well, I never technically moved out. 

“Y/n!”, I hear a scream from downstairs, Jinyoung, “ Where are you?”

“She is upstairs in the gym.”, the maid tells him and hear his steps as he runs up. He walks up to me and pulls me with him. I just let him pull me along.

He pushes me into my room, “Get changed and come to the company, all the new pieces have finished. Waiting for your approval, you need to take your mind off that scum. Don’t worry I won’t say I told you so, but I did tell you.”

At my glare, he stops talking and walks out downstairs. Walking into the shower, I let the hot water hit my back, as I lather soap on my skin. As the water flows over my body and drags the soap away, I let my anger and hatred wash away. Putting it in a box far in the corner of my mind, not forgetting but not letting it dictate me. 

Walking out I change into a pair of dark red pants, and light pink sweater, putting my now dried hair into a high pony, I grab a matching light pink long trench coat. Browsing through the scarfs I find the dark red one. I grabbed a white handbag, I walked to the table, putting in my wallet, phone, car keys, a small makeup bag. Grabbing the file off the table I place it in my bag. 

“Miss. Y/n” my driver says. ” You wanted to visit the young master this weekend, will you still be going?”, he asks, worried about me. After I left home that day, he quit and followed me, and came to work for my grandfather, taking care of me. 

“Yes he is graduating next week, I am going this weekend. Take a day off, I will drive myself.”, I say as one of the maid's sets breakfast on the table. 

“Miss I can drive you, it is a few hours drive.”, he says.

I shake my head, “ No, you are going to take your wife to the hospital.”

“Why?”

The maid blushes in front of me, realising I caught her secret. Smiling, I tell her to tell him.

“I am pregnant.”, she says. The poor guy looked shocked. He grips the chair tightly nearly collapsing on the floor. His face pale and his gaze blurred from the tears, my eyes widen as he leans on the chair. Well, this reaction is too funny, it is a good thing I took out my phone to film it.

Silently shaking with laughter, I eat. As he comes out his shock and holds her, and looks at me.

“Go I have 10 minutes, talk and do whatever lovey, cheesy stuff you want to do.”, grinning as he walks to their room.

“Miss how did you know she was pregnant?”, another maid asks me. 

“ A few days back, she was in the kitchen when I walked in to grab a snack. She suddenly ran and vomited in the bathroom. Again the next day as soon as she smelled the same thing she ran to the washroom.”, I explain as if I finish eating and walk to the door.

“Tell him to work a bit later, I am going to the cafe and then the company.”, I say and walk out after they nod in response.

Why is the cafe empty, it is usually very busy at this time. I walk in and go directly to the back. To see Yujin, with a pair of glasses perched on the tip of her nose, her hair up in a bun. Going through the accounts of the cafe.

“Hey, grandma.”, I say, and she lifts her head up from the book. 

”Hey, wait why are you calling me a grandma?”, I laugh and sit down. We chat for some time.

”Wait, why is the cafe empty today?”, I ask.

”Someone booked, saying it was urgent, even offered to pay double what I usually earn during this time.”, my eyebrows raise in surprise. This is a high-end cafe, so usually the earnings especially in the morning rush hour are very high.

”Okay you continue going through your work, I am going to go upstairs. Changmin and Hyejin, are upstairs right?”, I ask as I am about to walk out.

”Yes, Hyejin is napping, Changmin should be watching TV.”

I walk up the stairs to the third and fourth floor where they live. I was about to walk up another flight of stairs when I noticed someone sitting with his legs crossed. He had a small face, smooth skin and my eyes focused on his lips, the lips were plump. His eyes were clear and deep. I was dragged in, shaking my head. I am about to walk up when I hear his voice. 

It was smooth like freshly melted silver. It flowed over to me. What is wrong with me, I turn around and look at him.

”Can I talk with you?”, that is when I recognise who he was, Kim Eunho, CEO of KM entertainment, the biggest entertainment company in the country. 

Wondering why he was asking me to sit down, I sit down in the wooden chair in front of him, crossing my legs and leaning back I reply, ”sure, talk about what?”

”I was supposed to meet someone in the cafe, but it looks they won’t show up, so will you marry me instead?”, I freeze my eyes widen, I sit upright and stare at him hoping I heard him incorrectly.

(Eunho P.O.V)

She sits straight and looks at me like she is wondering which planet came from. Giving her a smile I lean front. Observe her face, her eyes were an unique shade of hazel, her hair fell over her shoulder, and wisps brushed against her cheeks. Her cheeks were red due to the cold wind outside. Her lips small yet full, open slightly in shock as she breathed through them.

”Do you even know who I am?”, she asks, her tone slightly heavy as her net chest rose up and down.

”Park Aera, daughter of the owners of Park M company and granddaughter to Moon group chairman.”, I say, ” and also Oh Jinyoung’s best friend.”

”Okay, so you do know, I thought you were asking on impulse after looking at me.”, as she lets out a breath in relief.

Chuckling I tilt my head, oddly I couldn’t stop looking at her. Drinking in her I reply, ”Although you are very beautiful, I wouldn’t randomly ask someone I never saw before. So will you marry me? I have to get married today.”

She looks at me, her eyes leave mine as it travels a bit down and about, taking a look at me again. She leans forward her chin resting on her wrist, as her elbow sits on the table edge. She opens her mouth to say something, but freezes for a few more seconds.

”Yes.”

”Are you free now?”, I question as I get up and extend my hand to her to help her up. Her hand reaches out and she gets grabbing the handbag which was on the table.

”I did have some plans but they aren’t that important.”, nodding I pull her close. Resting my hand on her lower back, giving it a bit of pressure pushing her closer to me.While my other hand was on her neck, tilting it up.

”I really want to try this with you, being husband and wife. This is not just going to be on paper. Are you willing to give us a chance to prove that we can be together?”, I ask as I move my head closer to hers, my lips mere inches away from her, as I gaze into her eyes.

She gives me a nod, and I bent a bit more. As my lips meet hers, my hands on her tighten, I felt her fingers clutching onto my chest tighter, crumbling the shirt. Her lips were soft, as my hand was brushing her hair at the back oh her head my lips moved in harmony with hers, my wife’s.
