This is so awkward.
Everyone is staring at me like I'm an alien or something.
Kim Rohen and his wife have brought me here to my parents and sister, her fiancé. Everyone was laughing and smiling at each other except for Kim Taehyung, of course.
But when they saw me their smile got wiped instantly. Kim Taehyung and Roseanne looked so shocked. On the other hand, my father stared at me with shock and anger. My mother was taken aback, but then it's like she doesn't care. She had a detestful look on her. But the best part was that my parents didn't even try to hide their expression from me. I just watched them with my stoic expression.
I don't feel good here. I feel suffocated.
"Look Kairon y/n also arrived." Mrs Kim said giggling. Watching her, my mother immediately smiled politely.
"Hiii, y/n. You came?" Why didn't you tell us? Anyways you look so beautiful." Rose said as she unwrapped her hand from Taehyung and pulled me into a hug.
Why is she acting like we talk to each other and are on good terms? This hug is uncomfortable, my stomach is clenching. I never returned the hug, nor did my expression change. It felt like a random person suddenly hugged me out of nowhere.
When she realised I didn't return it, she slowly got off me. From the corner of my eyes I can see my father and mother glaring at me.
"Hello, Rose. How are you?" I asked, keeping my tone neutral.
"I'm good. D-did you come alone? Why didn't you tell us?" Her voice is like honey, no wonder people can't help but adore her. But her eyes were saying something else. She is having a hard time adjusting to my dominating presence. It's like she is too fragile and will break if I continue standing here. She doesn't have this problem with her fiance maybe because they're together from childhood.
I just can't let my guard down. If I don't become a dominant predator, then I'll crash down in this hall of hungry animals. I refused to be crashed.
"I came with Rowan," I answered, my father and mother looked irritated at me, but my answer changed their expression. Not just them, but also Rose and Taehyung.
Taehyung clenched his jaw. Why does he have a problem with Rowan? They never had any bad blood. Is it because once Rowan used to work under him and now is at almost the same level as him? Is it a male ego thing or something else?
I just nodded at his acknowledging his presence, to which he did the same.
"You know Rowan Hayes?" My dad asked glaring at me.
"Yes," I replied curtly. I honestly don't know how to have a normal conversation with these people.
"How?" he asked suspiciously, like all the people who used to think we had an affair or something. But to my surprise, this man doesn't know. Almost all people in this field know, so do others. But looks like this man doesn't want to know a single thing about me.
"We have been friends since uni," I replied
"I had offered him my case with a huge sum, but he refused. Talk to him, to take my case," he ordered. My father is having a legal issue with another company, for which my father is at fault. He has overcrossed them, and they have proved so that he needs Rowan's help. But Rowan refused, this case is bullshit.
"He is not my dog to order. There he is talk with him yourself." I didn't let the irritation show in my voice or face but my words were definitely not polite.
"Y-you, how dare you talk to your father like this?" My mother dearest said firmly. I do not want to fight, but these people are getting on my nerves. It also makes me upset. I didn't expect a warm welcome or anything, but still, they are my blood parents. They act like my enemy more than a birth giver. No matter how much I try, it still hurts. They have this negative, bitter impact on me, or is it just that I'm the bitter one?
"Oh hiiii y/n. There you are, I have been looking for you everywhere." A cheering familiar voice said from behind. Tae Sumi cling into my hand happily. This girl is always so happy and positive, unlike my cold self.
"Oh, Miss Roseanne, hello. You look very beautiful. " Sumi greeted her co-star. They are rivals in their field, but neither of them acts like that cause of their sweet nature, they personally don't like each other, but don't hate each other either. Tae Sumi is the only person who has given Rose a tough competition. My parents just hate her.
"Thank you miss Tae Sumi. You look good yourself." Rose said, looking between Sumi and me, they all are actually. Cause if it were anyone, they wouldn't dare to come near me, but then this girl is holding my hands like we're friends, but I'm not pushing her away. But the look on Kim Taehyung's face shows nothing, just glaring behind me.
"Um, do you two know each other? " Rose pointed out.
"Us, oh yeah.. We're friends." Sumi said. And I feel a strong presence behind our backs, the Cologne made me sure it's Rowan.
"Sumi, Rowan you probably know them. This is my mother, father, and sister, and he is my sister's fiancé. And mother, father, Rose, they're my friends Rowan Hayes and Tae Sumi. We know each other from uni." I introduce them formally
Rowan and Sumi bowed and greeted them. To which they returned. They looked like they had a lot to say, but were holding back because of the Social situation we are in.
"Excuse me but I'm borrowing her for a moment uncle, aunty," Sumi said and dragged me out of there leaving behind my toxic family
Who are throwing dagger throughout their eyes.
"Care to explain?" y/n glare at her not so innocent bestfriend
"What?" Sumi acted innocent, and I glared hard at them
"Okay, okay, jeez! We just wanted to save you from that situation. It looked like they were ganging up on you. I'm not saying that you can't handle them but we dressed up too perfectly to ruin the mood." Rowan explained as he sighed
"Yep. And since we three got together Let's just enjoy our company instead of this drama. We will be too busy to even think about us." Sumi said
"Hey, let's go, my parents are waiting for us."
(My exams start from next month, please pray for me and be patient with me.
Actually, I wrote most of this chapter before going on a break. But today I have time and can complete it.)
