Chapter Three

She held his arms as she walked towards the main hall, she didn't know the man she is holding would no sooner leave her, and I can't see her cry. I fought my emotions locking inside not to show any expression, that to front of many people and cameras . Instead I smiled cheerfully.

She wore a white gown made of soft fabric long and flowy, an off shoulder revealing her collar bones. She walked as lightly as an Acrobat . A puff of wind swept through her blond hair, which kinda looked like a slow motion. I returned a smile when she smiled cheerfully, her smile is gorgeous.

They both walked towards me, her hand gripped to her father's arms and stood before me as he hand her soft hands over mine.
She clinged her hands over my arms leaving her father's arms and flashed a sweet smile on me but this wasn't forced, it was a genuine smile.

Her father whispered " Take a good care of her, I trust you" into my ears. I nodded with a genuine smile.

I looked down at her again , she was bright and cheerful, happy.
She is so precious when she smiles, but will she accept the fact her father would leave her, will I see this cheerful smile on her face?

I sighed, but continued to smile at the cameras flashing lights. We wave goodbyes to all, and lastly Chaeyoung cried clinging to her father's embrace.

This made me touched.

Chaeyoung
I changed, and freshned up by taking a warm long bath. I tied a baby pink rob around and wrapped my wet hair with a towel.

Chanyeol was sitting on the bed leg crossed with his laptop on his laps, but as soon as he saw me he flashed a smile and inverted his gaze again to the laptop screen.

I walked towards the bed laying down.

"Chaeyoung-ssi , did you have something?" He asked.
I answered " yes."

That was the last question he asked, his eyes was fixed on the screen hands moving on the keyboards . His eyes never shifted anywhere else even when I was around ,only on that damn screen.

My eyes felt heavy making me into deep sleep, with complete silence.

•••

My eyes flutter open, finding myself alone in the bed. Stretching my hands with a open yawn I peeled from the bed.

The house was in a complete silence, I searched for Chanyeol but he wasn't there, maybe he went off work. But atleast, he could inform me.

After taking a great shower I went downstairs to feed myself. The kitchen already had some dirty dishes laying on the sink, maybe he made breakfast. I opened up the lid of the caserol on the stove. But to my surprise it was empty.

I sighed out of disappointment.

I cleaned up the dirty dishes and cleaned his dirty laundry. Atlast for feeding myself I made some cheese sandwiches which I enjoyed eating.

I dialled his number on my phone to check if he had his lunch. He picked up the call.

"Hello" a lady's voice spoke up.

My heart raised, I rechecked if it's wrong number I called.

"Hello, is Mr Park Chanyeol there?" I asked.

"Yes, please wait a second." The lady held the call.

I waited for some time.

"Hello.. " he spoke

"This is Chaeyoung.." it kinda feels wierd talking over the call.

"Yeah.. tell me Chae."

"I just called if you had your lunch today."
He answered yes.

"Okay.. uhm, im busy right now. I'll call you later"

I ended the call, it was a small talk and I hated it. He didn't ask anything else whether I ate or no. Maybe he is just sticking to what he said on the first day.

•••

Three days passed since it was the same routine. I didn't have time to speak to him.

The clock struck nine, he said he would come around nine. I waited as I sit on the couch. I did nothing much today, I was just so free and I just watched some TV programs which was literally boring.

The nob of the door turned opening the door. There he stood with a black coat and some packets in his hands. He looked smart.

I walked up to him taking his coat from him, he handed over the packets to me without looking upto me.

He freshned up and came downstairs while I arrange dinner for him.

Strong hands from behind slid through my waist giving me shrills . I turned over to look at him with a smile.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't talk much to you on the phone. I had a meeting." As he rests his chin on my shoulders.

"It's okay.. by the way are you busy tomorrow?"

"Ah.. yeah. I have a business meeting coming over" He smiled tightening his grip.

He complimented my food and ate it graciously.

I lay over the bed again as I turned away from him . He slid his hands and again rested his chin over mine.

"Chae, I think we should also have time for each other. What do you think? If we acted like strangers , I don't think this will work out." He asked as his warm breaths hit my naked neck.

I turned facing him showing his dimples and squishy cheeks. " I do.. " I answered without hesitation.

"Don't you think you should balance your work and family. Promise me you will balance." He nodded.

"Let's forget what we said on the first day." He smiled earning a smile from me.

He pecked my lips making me giggle.

"I will always be with you..." He said as we embrace each other. No sooner my eyes closed laying under his embrace.
