Her Heart

Ch-2

3rd person pov :

Breaking news : The president of the Lee foundation, Lee Chan is getting married soon. He is engaged as of now. This news is more shocking as he is marrying a commoner instead of the million girls chasing after him. An anonymous informant told us that she is Kim Y/n, age 28. She is rumoured to....

The girl zoned out and muted the voice of the reporter. This has became a daily routine for her. Going to her studio, coming back, meeting with his parents and being a subject of talk. She never imagined to be famous this way. She always thought that if she got famous, it would be because of her photography. She was the best her class with a burning passion.

Y/n's pov :

I'm Kim Y/n. A commoner. I don't know what Lee Chan saw in me but I know it's good because I'm now engaged to him. He isn't a bad guy. I would have truly loved him if I hadn't loved my bestfriend first. It all started when my dad was fired from the government office because of a misunderstanding. We managed for a few months but after that, it was not possible. Out of nowhere, my dad told me about the proposal. I met him a few times and he didn't seem bad. So, I decided to marry him. It still hurts my heart seeing the ring on my finger, but... sometimes people need to forget. As simple as it sounds, it isn't.

I was so deep in my thought that I didn't notice that Minho was calling me.

<<Minho calling>>

<<swipe to answer>>

I swiped.

"Ah hello Y/n, were you sleeping?"

Sleeping? What time is it? Oh, it's around 2 p.m. ; I usually sleep in the afternoon.

"Oh, no. I wasn't sleeping."

"Huh, that's weird. You usually sleep in the afternoon. Is something wrong? Are you sick? Do you need me to come over?

I wanted to cry hearing his voice. The person I love the most.

"No, it's okay."

"But, you're still coming to the BBQ restaurant. Right?"

"Yes... I'm coming. See you in 30 minutes."

"Okay, bye then."

"Hmm, bye."

At the BBQ Restaurant, 3:00 p.m.

Minho's pov:

I arrived late because of the traffic. It seems like she is waiting for me.

"Y/nn. Sorry I'm late."

"..."

"Hey-"

"Ice cream. I want ice cream as an apology."

I sighed. I knew it was my fault so I had to accept her request. Afterall she is going to get married soon. She told me that it's new and kind of suffocating for her. Well, everyone has their own way of coping with things. I guess it's to act like a brat in her case.

"Okay okay, fine. Just stop acting like a brat."

"Me? Act like a brat? Huh."

"Let's not get heated here. Topic change."

"Okay, topic change."

From childhood we had a habit of telling each other 'topic change' when things were about to go down.

"So... how is uncle and aunt?"

"They are fine. What about Yongbok? I heard he had a hard time settling at his office. Should I beat them up?"

"No, it's okay. I will send rats in their mail."

"Hahaha."

She giggled. Even though it's not a laugh, it's good to hear her giggle after such a long time. We were known as the evil duo in our neighbourhood. I guess that still hasn't changed.

"So... how is the preparation for the wedding going on?"

There it is. That sad smile on her face.

"It's going fine. Chan said that it's taking a long time because he is also inviting his business partners."

"Oh."

It was awkward after that. We ordered some BBQ and beer, even though it was afternoon. I dropped her at her house and returned home.

At Y/n's home, 4:36 p.m.

Y/n's pov:

Minho dropped me at my home. When I entered I heard mom talking to someone.

"Oh yes... it arrived. Thank you for sending it Mrs.Lee. Yes, I'm sure Y/n would like it. Thank you. Ah, here, she arrived. I'll go talk to her now.

"What happened, mom? Who was that?"

"Nothing, it was Mrs.Lee. They said that they were too excited and wanted to see you soon, so they sent a dress for you. Here, try it on.

"...Okay, I'll try it on."

She handed me a box. I went in my room and opened it. It was a navy blue dress which reached till my knees. The pattern was pretty and to my liking. Ughh, now I would have to dress up nice to meet them. I wonder if Chan would be there too.
