Arranged Marriage - Lee Seokmin

Chapter 8

Seokmin's secretary

Hyunsoo's POV

Seokmin had gotten more and more pile of works to test his skills. Whenever he went home, he'll always keep his best smile to hide his weariness. Sometimes, he didn't went home at all. Today, I'm going to surprise him about my pregnancy. It's 2 months already. I entered his office. I asked one of the staffs where is Seokmin's office, they helped me by showing me the way. As I entered his office, I saw him with his tie loose and the first button is unbuttoned. He's also focusing at the work until he doesn't notice my presence.

I walked up to his desk and knocked at it. His eyes still focus at the screen. "What can I help you?" I scoffed. Only then, he looked at me. "Jagiya, what bring you here?" He stood up and hugged me. "I just want to see you." He let go of me and smiled. "Do you still have many works?" He shook his head. "Just a little bit." He dragged me towards his seat and made me sat on his lap. He put his head at my shoulder and continued doing his work. After a while, he turned off the computer. He carried me. "Oppa, let me down." He shook his head. "I can't. you must've been tired waiting for me." I hit his chest. "You're the one that was working, not me." He smiled. Then, he put me down at his couch and took the remote control to close the window with curtains. Then, he opened the door and shouted. "Anyone that disturb me for the next hour, I'll cut their salary." After that, he locked the door.

"I'm stress and I miss you so much. I'm sorry, I can't wait until we're home." I shook my head. "Oppa, we can't" He put a finger at my lips. "Don't worry, this room is soundproof. You can scream as loud as you want." He said, half whispering. He locked me between his arms. He put his arm around my waist. "I promise, this time. It won't hurt." He kissed me. His hands went under my shirt as I tried to pushed him. After a while, i gave up. As we continued, his phone suddenly rang. He ignored it for two times. Only then, I stopped him. "Maybe, it's urgent." He answered the call.

"What is it?"

"You're lucky today, that my wife's here."

"I'll be there soon."

He hung up and quickly buttoned his shirt. I took his tie and tie it for him. He wore his coat. "I'll be back soon. Wait for me here. If you want anything ask my secretary." I nod. He kissed my forehead and walk away. I sat down and fixed my shirt. I walked to his secretary's desk. "Hello there." She looked at me and make a smile, forced to. "Hello, ma'am. What can I do for you?" I shook my head. "Nothing. Just wanted to know, my husband worked too hard, isn't he?" She nods. "He's working way too hard. Sometimes he went home at 2 or 3 o'clock." I nod. "I know that." She put her hand at my shoulder. "By the way, haven't you been wondering why sometimes he didn't come home?" I shook. "Of course, he's at the office." She laughed. "What if I say that he's actually at my place." I laughed. "He won't do that. I know him." She smirked. "You do know him?" She pulled out her phone and showed me a photo of him and her at a bed. "You're lying. This is edited." She showed a video of him and her kissing. I shook my head. "This is fake...." Right? She grinned. "You're about to be push out of his life by someone. And that's me." I took my stuffs from Seokmin's office and went home.

Seokmin's POV

After the meeting end, I went towards my office. I looked around and noticed Hyunsoo's gone. "Where did my wife go?" I asked my secretary. She shrugged. "I heard she's something important to attend to." I called Hyunsoo. She didn't pick up. I quickly went home.

As I entered, the house is empty. I looked for her around the house. She's gone. I went inside our bedroom. I saw a letter on the table.

"Dokyeom,

I'm sorry if I left you alone, but I found something disturbing and I need to get rid of it first. I'll be back whenever I'm done. I'm very sorry. And please, don't call me or ask anyone about me.

Love,

Hyunsoo

I put down the letter and stared at the floor. What could I've possibly done until it turned out like this? Also, she never called me Dokyeom unless she's practically very mad at me. "Annyeonghaseyo, omma. Have you seen Hyunsoo?" I called her mother. "No, I haven't. why?" I run my hand through my hair. "Nothing. Sorry to disturb, mom. Byeeeee." I end the call. I asked the security if they've seen Hyunsoo, they all answered not.

I walked around the house without direction. I sat down at the couch. "She'll be back tomorrow. I'm confident about this. Just let her have her time alone. Afterwards, she'll miss me and eventually come back into my arms." I nod. "She'll probably do that." I stood up and cooked myself dinner, but everything's feel different. As I ate alone, I looked in front of me which I'm used to look Hyunsoo, but now I'm seeing no one. I put my dish in the sink and went to shower. The, I went to bed. I couldn't sleep, so I took my phone out and watched the videos of her that I've recorded. Also, our pictures. It hasn't been a day, but I've already miss her like crazy.

I opened the contact section and looked at hers. "no, Seokmin. Your wife needs her time alone. You shouldn't call her. Be gentle." I turned off my phone. Then, I opened it again and was about to press her number. I stopped myself again. "Arghhhhhh. What's wrong with me?" I aggressively kicked the blanket and went to sleep.
