CHAPTER VIII - HELP ME, PLEASE

"At least I didn't have to humiliate you in front of everyone at 8 am on a Monday morning, am I right?" My father chuckled as I stood in front of his desk unamused by his jokes. "Negative are we? That doesn't matter, today I have some big news for you son, let's take a walk." He stood up from his seat and I followed him, walking through the corridors of the company building.

"One day son, this whole company will be yours but of course, you will need some help." The meeting hall doors automatically opened and I noticed three figures seated at the table waiting for someone. "Son, meet the Jeon family." They all grinned at me and bowed, I slightly bowed keeping my poker face. "We've heard a lot about you Sunghoon, I'm sure you have heard of our daughter Ava she is quite well-known around the world."

I nodded and Ava did a small wave, "Yes that's right, now I was thinking we could tell the children the news?" My father suddenly announced to which I started to tense up, Ava's parents chuckled and pulled out a piece of paper which looked like a marriage contract.

"You two will be getting married in 1 month's time, you will also start living together tomorrow and attending the same school together, how fun is that?" My eyes widened and while Ava was relaxed about the news I on the other went ballistic. "What do you fucking take me for? A toy you can just sell so that your company will profit. I'm not marrying a doll face like her, I want to live my own life and at this point, I never want to get married or even fall in love."

I knew I was lying to myself. Of course, I wanted to fall in love and get married but not now, I still want to be a free child, I'm only 18 and there is lots of time for me to find a partner in the future so why now? "Excuse me, Mr Park you shouldn't allow your son to speak like that." Ava's mother quickly stood up and started to leave with the rest of her family.

Ava stood up and before leaving she touched my shoulder reassuringly and kissed my cheek before leaving. I shoved her aside and wiped my cheek and dusted off my shoulder. I could see from the corner of my eye that my father was about to explode. He rushed to me and slapped me before shoving me towards the wall "SUNGHOON, I FUCKING SWEAR YOU WILL MARRY AVA WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT! YOU WILL TAKE OVER THIS COMPANY AND I'LL DESTROY EVERYTHING YOU LOVE IF I MUST! WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT YOU ARE A PARK AND WE GAVE YOU ANOTHER CHANCE AFTER YOU NEARLY DESTROYED OUR FAMILY! You will apologise to her and get married." He shoved past me and slammed the door close before running to go and calm down the Jeon's.

The anger inside of me suddenly rose to its tipping point, I started throwing vases and chairs everywhere and by the time I had calmed down there was a small hole in the wall, paintings had fallen from their places, the legs of several chairs were lost and there was shattered glass across the room. "Sunghoon" I heard someone faintly whisper from the door of the meeting room. She stood there, her long dark hair touching the small of her back, heart-shaped lips, mole on her nose and sharp nose bridge. She hadn't changed much over the years, she just got more mature.
