Business as Usual~c.h.w

14. Loaded.

When we arrived back at my house about four hours ago, to say the guys flipped shit was an understatement. Apparently they were right. Mark is one of their higher ups and is or well was on good terms with Hyungwon but the latter wasn't being the most friendly person known to man.

To be perfectly honest, I don't want to feel anything anymore but at that moment I felt myself breaking all over again. Breaking with rage, breaking with sorrow, and breaking with regret.

What if when my parents put their dreams upon me, I would've just said no. Unlike Apollo, I'm not afraid of being disowned. She had a life. She had dreams. She had wants. I never had any of that. I barely even actually know my parents. So, why should I give a shit if they disown.

But, now I'm the holder of their empire. I'm known. Well, I'm not known. Kana Light the CEO of Light Enterprises is known. I don't even know Kana Light.

After I got tired of listening to bickering all of the guys left and so did Apollo and Ailee.

My fiance left after kissing me on the cheek and I played along. Just pissing myself off. You don't even know this guy. You've never even invested time in a person that way.

Well, besides one person. The one person that hasn't taken their ass to their own home. The one person my parents dislike and want me to ruin. The one person that tried to get to know me. The one person that lied. The person I think I started to fall for.

"You're going to marry him, like seriously?" Hyungwon asks from beside me.

Hyungwon.

"I don't- I don't know." I sigh, running my hands through my hair in frustration.

"Kana-" He starts softly.

"No. Don't fucking "Kana" me Hyungwon. This decision would've been easier if you had told me before that you have a fiancee! A pregnant fiancee!" I snap, turning to my side to face him.

He doesn't even understand. He doesn't understand how he effects me.

"That's not my damn kid! I haven't slept with her! I barely even know her! I hadn't told you because I was planning on getting rid of her. Okay. Okay. I'm sorry." Hyungwon says. His words go from quick and assertive to soft and quiet.

"I'm sorry, I should've told you." He says with a sigh.

"Don't be. It's fine, Hyungwon. I just- fuck- I don't know what to do. They can't force me to fall in love with someone. Especially since I've already started falling, but that's practically forbidden. Not that I care anymore. I think I'm willing to give him a chance.." My rambling comes to a pause as I realize what my thought process is leading to.

"Who is it?" Hyungwon asks but just by the way he said it, he knows. He knows it's him.

"The one person that it couldn't possibly work out with, but the one person I'm willing to give a chance. You." I respond quietly.

All the signs are there. The way it seems that he completely understood me. The captivating way his words always make me think and don't let me forget. His laugh. The night on roof. He made me smile. He made me laugh.

"You know, we can try. I can't even start to make you understand how much I've been wanting to. Kana Light is there and she's so sweet and beautiful. We'll figure this out, Kana. I promise I won't leave you." He says pulling me into hug.

A much needed hug. I gladly return it.

"How can we possibly make this work, Hyungwon? We're both supposed to be getting married soon. I could agree but I don't want that. I want you." I say. I can feel strangely warm tears running down my cheeks.

I don't even care about trying to seem strong around him anymore. If anything, I can show actual emotion.

He places his hands on either side of my face and his things wipe away my tears. Leaning into his touch, I just accept it. It is calming after all.

"I think you've had enough for one day. From now on just know that around me, you can be you. The true you. I'll be me and we'll be us. Okay? I've got you, Kana. I've caught you and I sure as hell won't let you fall again." He promises then kisses my forehead.

It's a simple action but it brought me to tears even more.

No has really been there my entire life to catch me. No one was there when I fell. Yes, I was picked up but he was one step ahead.

He laces his fingers with mine and I don't pull away. I accept it. I welcome it.

There are so many technicalities and different ways for this to crash and burn but I can try to let that slip away for one night.

After all we have work in the morning. We have to go and be the model CEO's and leaders.

He wordlessly takes his hand from mike and picks me up bridal style.

The irony.

Then we end up in my bed and that's the first night that I've went to sleep that fast in a while. No nightmares. No tears. Just peaceful sleep.

The intruding and bright rays of sunshine creeping through my curtains cause me to shift in annoyance. The arms wrapped around my waist just tighten a little more.

Wait, arms?!

Going rigid then slightly turning so I can see who's behind me, it's Hyungwon.

Oh shit, yeah. That did happen.

Wait, sunlight.

We have to fucking work. We're late.

Nothing like the damn bosses being late.

But, he looks so peaceful. I probably shouldn't do this but I do it anyway.

Turning around, I kiss him on his forehead then nose then both cheeks and I try not to giggle at the cute expression that comes across his face. His eyes flutter open then in realization his face turns a light pink shade.

"Good morning." I say with a smile.

"Good morning." He responds, his voice being tastier than usual. He looks adorable like this.

"We're late." I sigh while sitting up.

"We should just stay here then." He says quietly.

"You know we can't do that no matter how much I want to." I respond while trying to memorize how he looks right now.

"Coffee? We can go to Starbucks before work since we're already late." I say, trying to change the subject which works.

After getting latte's since we drove separately, we arrive at work around the same time. I felt the urge to hug him while we were walking into work but ignored it. That would be bad.

"You know, this is going to be harder than I thought." He says quiet enough for only me to pick up.

Walking past the front desk we wave at Baek and Jeonghan, who wave back.

Once we got into the elevator he immediately laced our coffee free hands together.

"You have a company also. Why are you here?" I ask jokingly.

"Collaboration project and someone works here that I kinda wanted to spend time with." He says as the elevator doors opens.

"Oh, really now?" I respond jokingly then realize where we were.

Shit.

Our leads were staring at us, some have their jaw on the floor, others are doing victory laps, and some have looks of what the actual fuck.

Welp looks like we're going to have to explain.
