Arranged Marriage with Luhan

Gaze

Luhan's P.o.V.

"Hey, are you alright?!" I asked as she closed her eyes. I suppose she was tired from kicking and punching. There, I carried her to the bed as I wiped her sweat with the hankerchief that was in my pocket. After doing so, I untwisted the black belt that hung on her waist and lifted the punching bag up from the hook that supports it. I folded the belt while taking hold of the punching bag as I opened the cabinet. I placed the two neatly in their places as I closed it gracefully, careful on not making a sound. After that, I reached for the door, but when I was grabbing the handle, I stepped onto something--a manual.

I picked it up and inspected it. It shouted out words in english, and on its cover, a man beams his smile. It looked familliar--yes, I know where it came from. He's Jjeol's brother, Taeyang.

I flipped through the pages as I saw a young lady, around ten, I think. She poses a kick, and I inspected her face more--Jjeolbae. I smiled as I looked at it more, then I diverted my gaze to the sleeping Jjeolbae.

"You probably got your skills from this workshop." I whispered and went near her. I held her hand and placed the journal in it. After that, I escaped out of the room, still looking at her.

I am now lying on my bed. Eight hours until we wake up and negotiate. I exhaled a sigh as I looked up to the ceiling--we have gone so far. We have passed through various challenges--hard ones. Judging by our ages, you cannot know that we have been through a lot.

Tomorrow is a big day, as expected. But I cannot get to think of the traitor. He has been good to us. Or maybe, he has his reasons. I just can't think of anything. 

I sat up and pressed a button of my laptop. I searched for Jung Daehyun as information popped out of the screen.

"The son of Jung Lian, and the brother of Jung Kangin."

I know of Jung Lian and Jung Daehyun. But whom I do not know is  Jung Kangin. I pressed the name in blue font as his profile showed up.

"Died at 2012." The date was said as I looked at the details.I came at a point of the article as a smile formed on my face, automatically. I know.

"So, that's why. I see." I murmured to myself. I hopped in my bed as I closed my eyes.

"Every little detail seemed to be connecting. God, please help us. Clear us from the negative thoughts and enlighten us."

-------------------------------------

The day has come as each of us woke up. 

"Four in the morning. Ireona." I said as I shook Jjeolbae up.

"Alright, alright. Five minutes." She said in a morning voice, much to my contentment.

"Ireonaaa~~" I said but she just shifted her place.

"Mrs. Lu, wake up." I retorted.

"No. Who are you? Get out." She teased.

"You have to cook breakfast for our--"

"I'm up, I'm up. That lame tease again. I'm up, Lulu." she said in a humorous manner and sat on her bed, rubbing her eyes.

"Aish, this girl."

--

All of us prepared as we buckled up. Jjeolbae, Kai, and I exchanged stares along the trip. Slightly nervous, I clutched onto my chair.

"Kai, Jjeolbae, Luhan, what's the problem?"  Baekhyun teased.

"Yeah. You're exchanging stares." Suho said and looked at Baekhyun.

"Sarang sarang trianglee~~~" Chanyeol said with his deep voice accompanying the car.

"Aigo, Dobi." Kai retorted in a humorous manner.

"OPPA NOTICED ME!" Chanyeol said cheerfully.

"Baekhyun, you somehow influenced this guy. Or is this one still a guy?" Lay teased as Chanyeol pouted.

We drove at our first stop--at the Kim's company. It is a huge building accompanied by thirty floors. 

"Lay, Suho, XIumin." I said as they stopped from jumping outside the car.

"Jiayou. Fighting!" All of us cheered. They nodded and raised their fists.

"Wish them luck." said Jjeolbae.

"Wish us luck." said Sehun as Jjeolbae smiled back at him.

I looked at Jjeolbae as she looked at me back. I the two of us reverted our gazes to Jongin as he did. All of us smiled after that.

Start.

Jjeolbae's P.o.V.

I waited for Luhan to shiver and swallow. Scripted. I turned my gaze at him when he did and asked.

"Luhan, are you alright?" I inquired. He nodded slowly as he looked away. Just as planned.

"We have to split."

"So each group, we'll distribute ourselves?"

"No. It would be way obvious. "

"Let's leave the matured ones. I find no suspicions on them, since their actions are much solid."

 "Tell us what the problem is." said Kai as he looked at me.

"Yes, I insist." I continued. I think the plan would not be ruined, based on their silences.

"I..I'm afraid of facing Hexagon inc. Before, they were the one fetching us; but now, I am afraid to face them front." said he. Kai exhaled as we caught the members' attentions.

"Let's transfer you then, is that alright?" he asked us one by one. All of us nodded in agreement.

"Then help your parents." said he as Luhan sighed in relief.

"I would. They're my parents, after all." he said as we nodded.

Second stop. The company of the Lu's.

"Luhan, Baekhyun, Kyungsoo, and Chanyeol. Get down now." Kris ordered as they nodded.

They got down and headed straight to the building; glass panes with metal doors welcomed them as I sent them my prayers. They ran inside the building; their gazes drifted on us. 

We looked at them as their figures slowly faded from my sight. Fear escaped my lips as I turned to them.

"You knew all along---all of you, didn't you?" I asked. 

Tao, Kris,  Sehun, and Kai are left in the car. Smiles crept on their faces as each of them nodded softly.

"Yes."
