His Bet || Heeseung ff

Choi Yumin

Aeri pov

I woke up to the sound ofy alarm blasting, I turned it off and went to the bathroom to wash my face so as to not sleep again.

I took a bath and walked out and wore this...

Dad was sitting in the dining table and having breakfast, it took me a few minutes to realise Heeseung is sitting in my usual seat, I froze in my spot until dad called me from across.

"Aeri!" He laughed,then turned to Heeseung, "I think you were right that she will like this surprise."

I walked up to them and went across to greet him, I offered my hand but he ignored it and gave me a side hug, I tried not to blush and sat across beside him.

We had breakfast together, Dad was so happy about his presence with us. It made me realize that we always have breakfast alone, and it's always quiet.

But he seemed to have a lot to talk about next to dad, he looked at me every few seconds and smiled, I tried to return it but he would always turn quickly.

"I'M HERE!" A voice rang in the hall making my whole body jerk. I quickly stood up and tried to run to my room.

"LEE AERI!" My mum's voice called making me stop and turn to face her, she looked as young as ever, as annoying as ever.

Her eyes darted between me, dad and Heeseung. My eyes teared as I looked at her. I hate her, I hate her so much that my whole body shook with rage.

"What is this?" She said pointing at Heeseung who stood up realising everything is going down hill.

"Mum... Let's talk inside." I said trying to stay calm,but I was still tearing and shaking, the fact that she is well here and happy makes me hate her even more.

"Is this one of the boys your dad is trying to hook you up with?" She said and scoffed.

"CHOI YUMIN!" Dad snarled.

"I told you before to leave your father and join me... I just came back to tell you that the offer is still open..." She said rolling her eyes at Heeseung before leaving.

Dad walked up to me and gave me a small hug before saying something inaudible to Heeseung, he stood next to me and patted my stiff back.

"I don't know what this is... But am sorry." He said still patting my back gently, I wiped my tears off my face and looked at him sniffing my nose.

"How do I look?" I asked.

"You look just fine." he said smiling widely. I waited for him to say more but he didn't.

"Why? Why did you come here?" I asked him, I didn't even realize last time how tall he actually is, how handsome and soft his features are.

"I accepted your offer." He said.

"I'm sorry but I can't do it." I blurted.

"I told Mina that am seeing someone."

"You didn't tell her that person was me... So you knew she liked you but you decided to date her best friend?" I said, I hate myself for doing this, for pushing him away.

He seemed taken aback by my reaction, he obviously didn't expect this at all, I felt myself rearing again and loosing my perfect posture in front of him.

"I'm trying to help you. I know that you are annoyed by the other men who try to-"

"I don't need your help. I can ask someone else to act up If I want. I don't know why I asked you in the first place."

He took a step forward and towered me, my eyes met his and I realize how cute they are, how I would love to have him with me...
But Mina.

I pushed him away and walked off and got to the car, my driver stood there he got in after closing the door behind me. I saw Him standing in the entrance and watching my car go away.

I pressed my fingers to my lips to prevent my sobs to go out, Mum's appearance isn't helping me at all to look like I always do.

The way she ignored me when I was child, the way she knew I was being harassed by dad and other people and still deciding to leave me made me hate her even more.

"I'm going to the company." I said, I'd rather hide in my office than cook today and check on the kitchen and the food quality.
