Destroy me

7

We pulled up to a big building, there was a conference room inside where the press would be. I looked over at Yeji, her leg was shaking as she looked at the floor of the car, she's nervous.

"They will mostly ask me questions so don't get too worked up and let them see your nervous alright. If they ask you any questions that make your uncomfortable let me know, your not in obligation to answer them." I told her, trying to calm her nerves a bit.

She looked up and me and slightly nodded. I opened the car door then walked around opening hers as well. Paparazzi was even stationed outside so as soon as we got out clicking noises and flashes echoed in the streets.

4 guards got around us trying to shield us from the blinding flashes as we finally made it to the door of the hotel. The 4 guards weren't much help against the crowd of people and cameras, but as we stepped inside everything seemed dark compared to the flashes of outside.

I led Yeji to the conference hall, giving her a quick run through of what to do. As I pushed the door open all heads turned to us. Some people whispered and pointed at Yeji, discussing that this was the "prostitute" I was seen with.

I walked over to a table in the center front of the room, letting Yeji sit down next to me first. I introduced myself even though I know everyone already knew who I was.

A few seconds after, the press started shouting out questions and statements.

"I would have to ask that you all quiet down so I can provide the answers everyone has come here for." I said, and everyone in the room immediately became quiet.

I continued, "I know what you have all come here to ask. The woman that you see next to me is not a prostitute as you have stated. I'll let her defend herself on that note." I said and looked over at Yeji I grabbed her hand under the table just in case she was feeling nervous. She looked over at me and slightly smiled.

Yeji's POV

"Hello everyone, my name is Yeji Hwang, and as Ryujin just answered, I am not a prostitute. I understand why it would be assumed seeing as where we were at the moment, but I'm not. In fact, we came here today to announce that-" I briefly looked at Ryujin and she nodded at me

"I am the fiancé of Ryujin Shin" I finished off.

Gasps and murmurs quickly filled the room, the flashing lights from outside returning but now indoors. News reporters stood up asking multiple questions at once.

They continued being loud for a while but soon calmed down after seeing we weren't gonna answer like that.

As everyone started to quiet down again someone spoke, "how could a multimillionaire like Yeji marry a nobody like you? I mean no offense but we've never even heard or seen you." A woman with graying hair said.

Before I could even defend myself, "that was very offensive, keep making disrespectful comments and I will have you thrown out." Ryujin said to the woman, she briefly apologized and sat back down.

Ryujin called one of the body guards over and whispered something in his ear, he nodded in response. She better not do what I think she's doing.

I slightly nudged her arm closer to me, signaling for her to get near. "Leave her be, she's just a jealous old hag, I didn't take her words to heart" I told her.

"Well I did, and she won't be saying much of anything for long." She briefly said then went back to responding questions. Oh god.

We walked outside the building. "Take her back to the car and wait for me there" Ryujin told her men.

They walked over to me trying to make me head back, I ran past them and grabbed Ryujin. "Stop, what if somebody sees you, you'll go to jail" I said.

"I practically own the whole police station and I don't give a shit if somebody sees me." She responded and then walked away,

The guards tried to grab me again "don't fucking touch me" I said then ran back to Ryujin. I can't stop her but I can atleast prevent her from doing something even dumber.

"Your so persistent" she said as she looked over her shoulder.

"Is there really no way to convince you to stop, how are you more offended than me?" I asked her,

"I'm not offended I just don't like being disrespected and that included if they insult you because your my wife now." She said,

As far as I know we haven't signed anything yet so we ain't even married. "Not yet" I told her,

"Soon enough, love"

We reached a parking lot that was behind the building reserved for press only. I saw the old lady who had insulted me earlier putting some stuff in her car.

'There she is' I heard Ryujin mumble under her breath and reach for something in her waistband.

This was escalating way to fast. I pulled her arm towards a little alley between 2 buildings and pushed pushed her against the wall so she wouldn't move.

"What the fuck are you doing? I don't give a shit if you felt disrespected or if you own the police, your not about to kill that lady for something as small as that." I said, getting visibly annoyed at her actions.

"Your not about to tell me what to do and what not to do, I don't take orders from you, or anyone else" She said back.

"Oh yes the fuck you do, fake or not I'm your damn fiancé, soon to be wife, who you need by the way in case you forgot. If you kill her you will never see me again and good luck trying to find someone else who even cares this much." I practically yelled at her.

"Theres many candidates who would love to fake date me." She said, now that hurt me a little but I didn't let it show, she clearly doesn't care if she said that so nonchalantly.

"Well go fucking get them then and leave me alone if this is how your going to act."

This conversation is giving me a migraine. I turned around to walk back to the car, If she really wants to kill her that bad then go ahead I have nothing to do with this anymore.

I blinked quickly to get rid of the tears brewing in my eyes, why does it have to be now. I heard a groan behind me, I looked over my shoulder to see Ryujin walking towards me and pulling me back.

"맙소사, why do you always make me feel like this" she said, pulling me closer and pecking my lips before laying her head on top of mine and slightly hugging me.

"I'm sorry alright, I know I went a bit far" she said,
"a bit?" I chuckled in response as did she.

This whole day has been a rollercoaster of emotions. I'm so overwhelmed and tired, I just wanna go back home and sleep to be honest.

She pulled back a little "Let's go to the courthouse right now. We should've done this ages ago but I was to busy planning the wedding ceremony I forgot about the actual documents." She said,

Sometimes I feel like we're actually dating for real and forget that it's all fake. The way she acts gives me mixed signals.

"We also need to talk about yesterday, and what that means" she said, oh god I'm not ready for that discussion yet.
