Someone...

** RECEPTION **

As we got out of the car, the paparazzi were everything. The name Kim and Rodriguez were popular in the business world. Most of the eyes were on me because I had been out of the picture for 8yrs.

Everywhere was so noisy and the camera flashes were bright. I really hated this. I hung my head low and walked behind all of them. As I walked into the building, I looked back at the glass door. I could still see the lights flashing. Creepy.

I ran my fingers through my hair and huffed. I shoved my hands into my pockets and raised my head up a bit. I looked so short at the back of all of them. No, short was an understatement.

Everyone had already changed. I was putting on a pair of faded blue jeans, a faded denim jacket with a cropped white top and a pair of white sneakers. Mom was putting on a black slim fit gown and silver wedge sandals. Mr. Seojoon was wearing a matching suit. My 'stepbrothers' were putting on plain but beautiful clothes. I'm sure it's designer.

We got to the reception and took our seats at our designated table. The newly Weds went over to greet their friends. My only prayer was that they wouldn't call me over. I hated unwanted attention.

I pulled out my phone and decided to read all the messages my friends sent me on WhatsApp. Most of them were government spies, the rest were retired trainees. <I am not gonna give more detail 😑>

I was viewing one of my friends status posts when I accidentally said "Fuck that shit", aloud.

I felt seven pairs of eyes on me. I looked up and stared at them. Since they didn't say anything, I shrugged and was about to continue what I was doing, when Gangtae said," I thought your babysitter would follow you here to change your diapers, Baby Shay" and laughed.

" Atleast I'm better than you. I don't have body guards and servants around me 24/7. What you people trying to guard? A pirate's chest?" I asked sarcastically. I scuffed and then continued my video.

After sometime, I felt someone tap my shoulder. It was a pretty familiar woman. I recognized her. She was Mrs. Mariano, my dad's last secretary. She now owns a successful business because of her new husband. I got up and bowed a bit.

" Oh you've finally learnt some manners" Mrs. Mariano said. "How is Grace doing?... I heard her fiance died two months ago" I said with a coy smile. " Ah... She's trying to cope. The news really hit her hard" Mrs. Mariano said trying to hide the rage, but I could see past it.

" I hope she won't do anything rash... Send her my condolences" I said with a hint of sarcasm. "Oh... And it really must be painful watching your mother getting married to another man, when your father died right infront of you" Mrs. Mariano said with a sweet smile.

I leaned in closer and whispered in her ear" You know... You should really go look after that daughter of yours... Who knows what might happen to her". I then looked at her face. I didn't know when those words escaped from my mouth. Her phone soon rang and she picked it up.

She gasped in shock. I smiled as she looked at me. I winked at her. I felt something flash in my eyes but I ignored. She looked horrified. "Y-you... You-" she muttered but I cut her short. I don't know what took over me but I suddenly said " I thought you'd be on your way by now". What am I saying?

She shook her head furiously as tears threatened to fall from her eyes. She soon ran out of the hall. What did I do?

I felt a bit dizzy so I left the reception. I decided to go to the beach because the reception was actually a beach result.

I sat on the peer my feet dangling in the air. I already took of my sneakers and jacket. I closed my eyes as the nights cold breeze swept my hair. My mind left my current surroundings to the world up in my head. It felt nice.
