Hoseok's Bride

Chapter 8

~Jiyeon~

I let the tears fall from my eyes as we rode in silence for a long time before Hoseok finally parked the car. I opened my eyes and saw that we were at the airport.

"Why are we..." I trailed off and Hoseok reached back and put his mask on before opening the door and getting out.

I stared as Hoseok made his way towards me and opened my door for me to get out. I continued to stare at him as he walked towards the trunk of the car and got out two suitcases. One of them was mine. What was happening?

I didn't make any move until Hoseok walked towards me with the suitcases. He stopped and stared at me for a bit. Just as I was about to turn my head away, Hoseok grabbed hold of my face with his large hands, swiping my tears away with his thumbs. It was then that I saw his worried eyes on me and I almost burst into tears again. How could he still look at me like that after what have happened?

Without saying anything, he reached for the inside of his bag and then pulled out a black cotton face mask like his before putting it on me.

My heart was racing again and I hated myself for feeling touched when I should be feeling something else.

Hoseok smoothed my hair with his hands and cupped my face again, whispering, "Let's go."

I grabbed my suitcase with my hand as Hoseok grabbed the handle of his suitcase and with his free hand, he grabbed my free hand. I glanced down as he intertwined our fingers and lead the way.

Hoseok was greeted by some staff and before I could even think about what's happening, we were being escorted somewhere. I followed closely behind, feeling safe and trusting Hoseok. I swear in that moment; I would follow him anywhere.

My eyes widened when I realised where we were. "Oh my God."

"This is one of our private jets," Hoseok said, his eyes coming back to mine. He tugged me towards him and I followed him.

After we'd checked in properly and everything, I sat in one of the chairs as Hoseok went and talked with some of the staff members.

My heart continued to race as I pressed my face against the window. "A private jet," I said in awe as I saw people walking and lining up in the planes opposite of us.

When I finished admiring my situation, I looked over and saw Hoseok without his mark on and sitting opposite of me drinking water.

I slowly took off my mask and dropped my hands to my lap.

"Um," I mumbled.

Hoseok's eyes came to meet mine. God, was his stare always so...captivating?

"Where are we going?"

"Hawaii."

"Hawaii?" my eyes bugged out. I was shocked. Why are we going there at a time like this? Didn't Hoseok said he was so busy that he couldn't even free time for himself?

Hoseok nodded, reaching for the menu and looking through it. "Are you hungry? If you are then order something to eat."

"W-what for?"

His eyes came to mine once more. "Our honeymoon."

This time, I didn't bother to hide to shock. It's been two weeks and a bit since we got married.

"W-w-why?"

"Isn't that normal?" Hoseok's eyes went back to the menu.

"But you said you're busy and I hardly saw you these past two weeks..." I mumbled.

"I worked overtime to get time off for this."

I gasped, "You...worked days and nights and overtime for this?"

"That's what I just said."

I blinked. "But...why?"

"Because we're married. Even if it's just for three years, I might as well give you a honeymoon. I hear that's something women look forward to the most."

Which means he probably found out that I really want to go to Hawaii for my honeymoon. He prepared everything...just for me?

I shut my eyes. How could this man touched me in ways no other man have? How can someone I've always dreamed of...be sitting right across from me like this. Why is this marriage not for real too?

I shook my head, clearing it. Since I was still processing what Hoseok have said, I reached for the menu and looked through it, trying to ignore all these feelings and thoughts I was having.
