Hope , something we all want to have , happiness , something we all seek to have , and Haneul woke up having hope , but not as happy as hopeful , she was hoping . It was all she could do , she thought Today was a very important day , it was the day she will be accepted or rejected , but not by the one she loved , it was by his father , which made it a harder task .
She had skipped dinner last night , she was unable to face any member of her family , not because she was ashamed but because she didn't understand how a past relationship can turn to be so complicated and turn into such a bizarre conflit between two families , that it was stopping her from being with the one she loved . And that hit a sensitive string .
Of course she understood the reason , but she found it so futile and absurd . It was what it is .
What are they ? living in the 18th century .
Haneul had read books about the power of love and how it was so indestructible ,she had almost believed it was but no more fragile facades .
she had gotten ready to go to the university , it wasn't good to neglect her studies , so she left half-heartedly and tried to pay attention to the teachers , She would zone out sometimes , therefore lose her focus but she couldn't help it she was too concerned .
After classes ,sehun , Tao and kai couldn't catch up with her , they knew about the dinner , besides they didn't dare to talk to her about anything because they knew she would be on her edges .
She had escaped the crowd of students successfully and drove off home . And as soon as she got their she greeted her mother briefly and went to her room to get ready , she tried to look good as much as she good to give a good impression to the father , she was trying hard because she hoped he would accept her ,for her his father was the harder task because if she knew her father had such a good heart he wouldn't want his daughter to suffer .
When she finished dressing up she took one more at the mirror , she looked presentable enough .
She was lucky her mother wasn't in the living when she left the house . She headed to a fancy watch shop , to buy a present for kris' father , it wasn't a gift to lure him to accept her , because she knew a small gift wouldn't matter in front of something like that . The watch was very expensive but Haneul was enough well off to be able to buy it , while she was in the shop her phone rang , she answered nervous , it was Kris .
"Hello, kris " she muttered softly though the line .
"Babe , are you ready ?" his voice was hoarse out of frustration and anxiousness .
"Yeah , i am " she gulped the lump that had formed on her throat .
"Alright , i will come to pick you up then " he offered .
"I am not home though , i am in a shop , i will come to the park with my car and you can pick me up from there " she suggested still speaking softly nerousness taking over her mind and body .
"Okay , i will see you there in Ten minutes love " he hand up after saying .
The anxiousness in his voice was very clear , both of them were anxious ,
Now it was normal to be anxious before a meeting with one of the family of the man or woman you love , but it still was odd with the conflict being .
Haneul's hands would occasionally shake from the steering wheel , her lips slightly trembled when she parked the car near the park.
She walked to the park in slow pace , her heels clacking through the ground of the park , it wasn't crowded , the weather wasn't that good , the sky was clowdy , and after a sigh , Hanuel saw kris' car waiting just near , she almost dragged herself there , feeling hazy , maybe it was because she hadn't eaten anything since this morning , and maybe it was because her mind was too focused on one thing it made her feel sort of dizzy .
Kris opened the door for her and she got in without uttering a word .
" you look very nice " he complimented even though the atmosphere was dull .
She smiled in return .
"What's that ?" kris asked .
Hanuel looked at the small bag where the watch was placed and wrapped nicely .
"It's a small gift for your father " she smiled
"That is nice of you , i hope he will be able to see how much of good and an important person you are to me " he chuckled bitterly .
"Let's hope " she said .
There she goes , hoping again , holding onto a tiny bit of hope she had left .
Kris drove off to their mansion , He would glance at her from time to time , she looked pale , her lips almost bleeding from the biting she had done to it . But she still smiled at him ,no matter how sad she felt even before this she would always smile in his face .
Here they are , in the mansion , waiting for the father , kris had offered to take her to his room , to calm her down a little bit , she had visited his house before and most of the times his father wouldnt be there , or maybe he would , but too busy to show up .
He sat her up on his bed , sat next to her and held her hand .
"My father isn't that scary " he chuckled .
"i know he isn't , it's just my mind , me being paranoid you know " she said .
"You know what i like the most about you ?" it was a rethorical question ,her head down on her lap , Haneul waited for him to continue .
Kris made her look at him in the eyes lifting her face , their eyes meeting .
"Usually , a guy would say , you are pretty , and i acknowledge that you are , but i like your heart , you are very much of a good person sometimes i feel like i don't deserve you " she shook her head as soon as he said .
"No , don't say that " she spoke her words coming out as a whisper .
He hushed her " i know what you will say , that you are full of flaws , but it's okay "
"you accepted those flaws in me Haneul, better than anyone "
She smiled " and you have accepted mine " .
There was a moment when all they could hear was their breath when someone knocked the door and a maid came in .
"Sir , you father is waiting for you " she claimed and left the room .
Kris sighed " come on " they stood up heading to the door , their hands still hugging each other .The kris paused and faced Haneul cupping her face between his big bands . And crashed his lips against hers , as rough as it sounds , the kiss was gentle and she hasn't hesitate to respond .
After breaking the kiss , kris smiled and took a deep breath dragging his girlfriend toward the big sitting room where his father was waiting .
Haneul's heart skipped a beat when she saw his father standing and then another skip , kris turned to lookat her with a soft smile nodding .
They went down the stairs and as the father turned , he gave them a fatherly smile that had somehow reliefed both of them .
Another chapter coming in a few , don't be scared of commenting or giving feedback whether it's good or bad i am open to any remark .
