Trapped in His Arms

001 - Little Seon-Ho

I still remember the last day we saw each other. It was raining hard but we stared at each other motionless as he knelt in front of me.

He begged me to stay and overcome everything with him. And that he will try his best to take care of me and give me everything I want and need.

He begged me to take back the heartless words I threw at him scorning him for being too poor and powerless to satisfy and support me completely.

But I only looked at him coldly without mercy. I told him words I knew will break him inside completely.

Words that will make him hate me.

Words that will make him want to kill me.

"Baek Seon-Ho, do you have to be so heartless?" He solemnly spoke with a helpless tone and weak voice.

He was completely drenched in rain and looked so messed up from days of not having enough sleep or a good rest. His life is getting worse each passing day.

But somehow he forced himself to come and beg me to come to him.

"I am not being heartless. I am being honest." I expressionlessly stated. "You're just not enough for me Seo Jung-Hwa. You will never be enough for me."

I left him cold and abandoned under the rain. I made him feel like he is nothing but worthless past time. A burden I didn't want to carry. A stain I want to erase and forget about.

But from the ashes and dirt he rose to compete with prominent families alone and made a name for himself. He became the person I said I wanted and left him for.

And I did everything I could to avoid him like he is dangerous plague that will kill me.

But the same man whose heart and soul I broke is now tightly holding me in his arms with no intention of letting go. The same man I avoided with every chance I could get for years is now holding onto me once more.

But this time, his aim was not to make me his.

But to probably about to make me pay for everything I did. Or maybe to get even with me.

The uncomfortable and awkward atmosphere around us is suffocating. His rough and cold treatment made it even more uncomfortable as he half-carried me towards the elevator.

"Where are you taking me?"

I was alarmed by his actions and the direction he's trying to bring me towards. I pursed my lips and tried to pull away. But the strength of his tight embrace made me unable to move even an inch away from him.

"I don't think it's proper to leave you alone somewhere so I thought of escorting you to a place where you can relax more comfortably."

His sardonic smile as he looked at me like a prey to be carried back home to slaughter made me frown. I will never get used to this changes in his attitude towards me.

Unlike before, he treated me way too callously as though I was nothing but an object he could throw away anytime he wants.

"Let me go."

I gritted my teeth as I spoke with anger. I looked back at his somewhat detached expression with evident anger and frustration. My body shook in extreme indignance as I continued to struggle in vain.

His smile and eyes suddenly became gentle as his face wore the familiar expression that I once got used to under his care.

"Seon-Ho, stop being so stubborn. I don't want you to get hurt."

He grasped one of my struggling arms and raised my hand to his lips. He gently kissed the skin on top of my hand and gently nibbled it with his teeth with eyes closed. He looked as though he was savoring a delicious meal.
