ADOPTED | Lee Heeseung

Part 2

Lee family was waiting for Park family to arrive at the store where they will order all the dresses and suits.

Esme gets down the car with the help of Lauren's hand. 

And everyone around her kept staring. That was nothing new yet uncomfortable every time.

Esme Pov

Why are you guys looking at me like that??? Am I a ghost??? I am annoyed really. Oh... Maybe this is the reason Mom and dad doesn't allow me to go out. 

As I walk behind Mom and Dad, his parents signal him to walk beside me.

Heeseung-ssi I am totally fine. 

"Are you having problems with your eyes?", he asks out of nowhere.

What could I say?? I was dumbfounded.

"Uh- my eyes? No- I am fine... "

"The sunglasses are unnecessary here actually"

What a man... Can you just let me be myself?? Even though I am not being myself right now, or never will me myself... but at least you can give respect to my choice to wear sunglasses.
 Because its my mom's choice and she is never wrong with fashion.

"Oh... thanks for informing"

He looked at me weirdly. Yes, I know why. But wasn't my answer the politest way possible to his rude claims???

"I will be your husband remember that"... He was giving me smirks that I didn't like a bit.

He nods his head slowly and speaks again, "It's okay you can wear that... your eyes need to be protected from any other person" 

Duh! I don't want to listen to you, but I have no choice. And yes, you are right... I wear the glasses to protect my eyes. My PRETTY eyes. 

"I am always doing that though even without your opinion "

He scoffs, "Not many days until you see darkness", after saying that he walks away into the store without even glancing at me.

Darkness? As if I am not experiencing this enough. I am fully aware of what you meant by darkness. Isn't that the reason I am married off to you. Rather, I should say sold off. 

I scoff mentally. Heeseung-ssi I thought you were different from other persons I met. I thought you were... something comfortable to me. But turns out you are same as my parents and sister... who see me as a bait or useless thing.

Marriage Day

I looked at the mirror, as usual I looked pretty... wasn't me being pretty my only god damn job?

Anyways, today I will be getting married to that man. 

I don't know what he is wearing but... as long this is for his profit he would do anything. 

You might be thinking how can I assume such thing so easily?? 

Look, he stayed in US for God damn so many years and came back only after the company got settled. His younger brothers did their marriage earlier than him. Isn't it lowkey embarrassing for him?? I don't know. But he is super serious regarding business and profit. I always watch him calling someone or talking with someone in his phone or maybe reading something in his phone. Super busy.
