Contract Love • Jihoon

08

-

It's finally the most awaited day of their chapter. 

The venue fill with laughter and happiness as slowly more and more people come and start filling the area. All of the worker from the office, each one of them show up at the wedding, trying not to miss their higher ups big day.

The wedding start by the groom walking on the aisle and walked straight to the center of the stage. Park Jihoon like always, calm and quiet, standing by himself , waiting for his soon to be wife walking on the same aisle to him. 

" Now, let's all stand up and wait for the bride to walk on the aisle for her new journey" 

Everyone on the venue immediately stand up after the big door in front of the aisle open and there standing in her fabulously white dress, Hani holding up the flower that compliment her face. Next to her is Jihoon's father who is willing to send her daughter in law to her son replacing her deceased father. really a beautiful moment for everyone there.

Hani paused for a moment, and stare at each one of the face that show up to the wedding. She can't help but felt more tense than she usually is a moment ago but as her gaze fell on him, all of the anxiety that she felt just now slowly faded away. She turn her head to her side and slightly nod to give a sign that she's ready to go. 

A song play as she walk side by side with his father on the side who is looking overwhelmed on that day.  Their eyes stuck on each other as she getting closer and closer to him. She's not going to lie, his look that day is really captivating. The way he did his hair. The black suit that compliment his body feature. Oh lord, he's perfect.

Finally, she's currently standing in front of him. 

His eyes never fell from meeting hers as he took her hand from his father. " Thank you" he whispered to his father as he bring her closer to him. 

" Are you ready?"

Both of them nodded at the question while standing side by side with each other.

" Park Jihoon, did you take Lee Hani as your wife and promise to be with her on the ups and down of the life ?"

" I do"

" Lee Hani, did you take Park Jihoon as your husband and to be on his side and to cherish him always?"

" I do"

" By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride" The crowd started to become chaos with the sound of people clapping and whistling. 

Both of them turn their body to face each other. 

As their eyes met, she's trying really hard not to show much emotions on her. She's happy. of course. Happy might not be the right word with how insane her feelings was at the moment. Her first love is finally her husband. But, she have to accept the reality. This is all just fake. All of it. 

The wedding. The clap from the audience. The slight smile on his face. Everything is fake. 

As he bend down and was about inches away from her face, she immediately till her head to the side and took her chance to whisper to him.

" Mr. Park, if you feel uncomfortable. just a peck on my cheek is fine. Don't push yourself too hard" with a concern expression on her face, she moves away from him .

He maintain an eye contact as he kept silent. without warning he slide his arm to her waist bringing her closer to him. She widen her eyes, shocked at his action.

" Just for today. Can I?" 

She exhaled nervously as she nodded. Her mind shut down. 

It felt like a dream as his lips touched hers. Her eyes fluttered closed, her body stiffened clueless with how to react in this situation. The crowd cheered up even more, now that they are currently in an intimate position. It was rather a quick and fast , as he immediately move away and remove his hand from her waist. She try really hard not to show that she was affected by it and faked a smile to the crowd. She look down at their hand that intertwine with each other.

When is this going to end?.

"You never told me, a kiss would be in the package"

The wedding ceremony just ended a few hours ago and they are currently at his house. well technically, their house now. 

She broke the silent in the air. It's just the two of them at the house, and she felt more awkward even though this is definitely not her first time there.  She tried really hard to start a conversation and probably making a joke out of it but his reaction might say otherwise. 

" I have to.. their eyes are on us. I can't just let them have a second thought about our relationship" he responded , taking a seat a few inches away from her on the couch.

To be honest, she was enjoying it actually but still she felt a little taken aback by it. Kiss? Even hugging is not on her mind at all. 

" If you felt like I was violating your dignity , then I'm sorry. If you felt like I should put that one in the check then I will. I'm  going to pay you for that " he continued with his soulless again face expression.

It was cold. She look away, felt hurt by his words. 

" There's no need, Mr park. You paid me enough for this two years" she smile.

" I will take my leave now since I'm a little tired at the moment, you too please get some rest" she got up, with no plans where to go.  

" Your stuff is on the next room to mine. take some rest. you must be tired" he speak, exactly like he knew what was on her mind. She nodded, before wanting to walk away from there.  

" oh, and one more thing. "

she turn her head back at him. He got up from the couch and stand still on the same spot while facing her.

" I once believe you as my secretary before. and now I will believe you as my wife"

" Please don't ruin my faith in you and please do your job properly"

She was quiet taken aback. 

" Don't worry , Mr.Park" she nod. 

" I will definitely do my job properly.. you will never regret asking me to be your contract wife, I promise you"

" Then, I'm going to take my leave" she bow before turning around and finally leaving the living room to her now assign bedroom.
