MYSTIC MESSENGER: ONE SHOTS/IMAGINES

23. JUMIN HAN ~ Y/N's kingdom

NOTE: *Y/N* ~ Your Name

Part 1

Summer.

The bright blue sky greeted me as I took my steps down my private jet. It was actually hotter than Korea, but not hotter than the places I went in middle east.

Still, sweat started to show from my forehead down my neck.

She told me to wear lighter clothes rather than my usual corporate attire. It was really out of my comfort clothes. But, for her... I am willing to explore outside of the boundaries I have built for myself.

I went immediately to the airport, I found my body guard already standing, waiting for me.

There were only three of them, since she told me not to bring a lot of body guards. But people seemed to stare like they're some actors from a movie.

I shook my head and went inside the car. The humid air finally subsided as the cool air from the air conditioner hugged me.

I fiercely wiped away those sweat whose been trailing in my forehead. Oh how I wish my love is here with me. If she's here, she'd be the one wiping away these stubborn grains of water beads.

I sighed.

"*Y/N*, we'll see each other soon." I whispered lovingly.

I felt like the travel is taking so long. Every minute that passed feels like eternity. In business, patience is one of the factors that keeps a long-term project running. Especially if the chance of success is undeniably high. But, it seems that patience is already trying to run away from my grip.

I took another deep breath.

This is for my love. I told myself like an energy boosting mantra.

They say that the road to success is one hell of a bumpy ride. I never knew it would be this literal. The road to my love is really bumpy and rocky. The pave road has ended and the way is now difficult than ever.

I peeked outside the window. Gone are the tall buildings and establishments. Now, comes the very proud mountains and cliffs; the gentle ponds; and the lush green meadows.

If my calculations were right, it took us about two hours on this rough road. All the hindrances were homes as the car finally made its stop. I'm now in a little town.

I took my first step outside and the cold warm breeze welcomed me. Small to medium houses, mostly made from wood. There was a small basketball court where several people were playing.

"Excuse me..." I asked an old woman whose just passing by. "Do you know where *Y/N* lives?" i was hoping she knew my love. My aching heart is already missing that person whom i haven't saw for several months.

"*Y/N*??? " the old lady asked. I'm praying deeply that she would at least give some info.

"Yes... *Y/N*" I repeated.

"Oh I know that kid!, she lives by the river. Just go straight ahead and you'll see a two-storey house with blue roofings." She said pointing to one direction.

"Thank you so much!!" I thanked her and immediately went in the car.

We slowly drove towards the river. Every inch nearer my destination makes my heart pounding.

At last, we've reach the house that we were looking for. I immediately get off the car.

There was a lady in her mid-fourties, busy arranging flower pots while singing some random tunes.

"Excuse me..." You said.

The lady turned around, she looks a lot like *Y/N*... Only older. Now you know where she got her beauty.

She was a bit surprised seeing someone unfamiliar.

"Yes? How may I help you?" She smiled warmly.

"I'm Jumin Han, *Y/N*'s boyfriend. I came all the way from Korea to see her." I introduced while taking my bow as a sign of respect.

"I presumed, that by your ethereal beauty... You are *Y/N*'s mom. She really got her looks from you." I gently continued.

"B-boyfriend?" The lady asked unbelievably.

"Yes ma'am, I would be very much happy if I get to see her... That is if you permit" I was nervous that I almost talked like a businessman trying to woe an investor.

The lady whom I presumed was my future mother-in-law was taken aback by my gestures.

Was I too formal?

"Mom! Dad is asking whe-" it was Y/N who was peeking at window.

She was surprised seeing my presence.

I saw her ran towards me, shocked even when she saw me talking to her mom.

I examined her from head to toe, she was wearing a plain oversized cotton shirt and a denim short. Too plain for my love, she still is a beauty even in baggy clothes.

I smiled at her.

She blinked at me several times before speaking.

"W-what are you doing here?" She stuttered, I find it cute while her cheeks flushed.

"I missed you Y/N. I can't focus without you by my side." I said with a smile on my face.

I heard someone cleared his throat.

It was her father. His face was stoic, no emotion. Just cold stare.

From that moment, I felt like a nobody trying to win a princess from his highness.

"I don't want my daughter to be with someone rich. They're too much to handle." His voice was like a growling king.

For the first time, I felt fear.

Fear that I will be rejected by Y/N's family.

"Father... He is---" Y/N tried to interrupt but her words were cut short.

"He is your boyfriend." His father was still stoic. "I don't want him to be your husband."

My thumped at the word "husband".

Does this mean that if this battle of acceptance be fought and won, then I'll be Y/N's husband?

That actually made me smile.

I will use my power, intelligence and strength to prove her father that I, Jumin Han ~ a business emperor shall conquer this battle of love.
