Tell me when you're ready » Chae Hyungwon

9.

reluctantly I put on the dress I choose for tonight.

I take a look in the mirror and sigh in disguisement.

"You can do this Faith" I tell myself.
"I  believe in you... fighting" I say and put a fist up.

Okay.. I guess it's time now.

I walk out of my room and make my way to the hall where I will be meeting the rest.

On my way I see Shownu and he just smiles awkwardly scanning me with his eyes.

"Y-you look good Faith.." He says with hesitation.

"Uh.. thanks" I say awkwardly.

"You know she's mine Shownu, go search a lady for yourself" A voice says from behind and as I turn I see Hyungwon there walking up to us putting his hand on my lower back.

"Sorry, I just wanted to tell her, I will leave now" Shownu says, He was just complimenting me.. nothing bad.. 

I turn to Hyungwon.

"I am yours?" I ask unbelievable.

"Well, yes.. you are mine, get used to it baby girl" He says and smirks afterwards.

"Idiot" I say rolling my eyes but he just smiles at me.

I look at him trying to hold my smile but it won't work, his smile makes me smile.

"But Shownu was right tho.. you really look good" He says looking at my dress.

"Well thanks" I say.

"You choose the dress I recommended" He says proudly and comes closer to my face.

His warm breath hits my face and he just plants kisses until he reaches my ear.

"Good girl" He whispers and kisses my jaw before he takes my hand and takes me outside.

I just froze the only things that seem to work are my legs.

the rest of my body is shook by his sudden actions.

But luckily I'm able to reach the car, Shownu and Wonho are already in the car.

Hyungwon and I go for the back seats.

"Will it be big?" I ask and Hyungwon looks at me.

"Well.. you've already seen it" He says with a smirk, and I just look at him with my eyes widen.

"Not THAT.." I say loudly.

"Gosh the meeting I mean" I say and face palm myself mentally.

"Awkward" I hear from the front seat and take a look at Wonho and Shownu who just sit there with a smile.

"Yeah the meeting won't be big but it's not small either." Hyungwon says formally.

He knew what I meant, he just wanted to make me feel awkward.

Dickhead.

Soon enough we arrive at a different mansion.

"This is Mr. Choi Seungcheol's mansion.. you might remember him" Hyungwon says and gets out of the car to walk around it and open my door as the gentleman he is.

We walk inside, his arm around my waist, Shownu and Wonho behind us.

"Mr. Chae... how wonderful that you are here" A man says as soon as we enter the room where the meeting takes place.

A shit load of people already arrived, a lots and lots of prettier woman than me.

In these moments I am so afraid that Hyungwon will replace me for a beautiful woman like one of these.

I mean his life would be so much better without me in it.

I take a look at Hyungwon and he talks with Seungchips about stuff.

Then I look at Shownu and Wonho and they are also talking with other guards.

Now that no one is talking to me, I might as well socialise as bit.

I walk over to the kitchen where my kind of friends would probably hang.

I look inside and see a bunch of guys having fun together.

"Umm are you lost?" One of them eventually asks me and I shake my head.

"I just don't want to be surrounded by idiots all the time so I came here" I say and they all burst in laughter.

"Yeah funny go back" One says.

Then it hits me..

I take a better look and know it for sure.

"Mingyu?" 

One of the guys looks at me and his eyes widen.

"Faith.. wow long time no see" He says unbelievable.

"How have you been?" Mingyu asks and I shrug.

"Could've been better, what about you?" I ask and he smiles.

"Could've been better" 

"Faith! Where are you!" An oh so familiar voice yells through the hallways.

"I think I have to leave again, We should do something together again, I'm sure you will love Hyungwon's chefs" I say and walk out of the door.

"Okay goodbye" I hear form the kitchen as I close the door.

I see Hyungwon looking in every room of the hallways.

"Hyungwon.. I'm here" I say and he turns around with these mad eyes again.

"What the hell!" He just says.

"No one was paying attention to me so I thought let's meet the chefs since they are always nice" I say and he just laugh humourless.

"You are unbelievable.." He keeps laughing.

"What?" I ask.

"It's not always about you Faith! You don't always get attention. that's not how the world works" He says right into my face.

"Yeah I know but-" 

"Spare me your bullshit.. this is business meeting, you are supposed to stick with me and you know that.. I have to catch up with everything before some bad shit happens okay? Now shut the fuck up and stay by my side, understand?" He asks with a strict tone.

I just nod quietly looking down and he sighs walking away.

I just follow him like a puppy.
