Rivals

003

I stay still for some seconds still deciding to kiss him back or not.

His lips move against mine slowly. Creating just enough friction.

Slowly I start moving my lips along with his. In perfect sync.

After a short while of gently kissing, we both pull away.

When I open my eyes, his is still closed. Almost like he's savouring the moment.

His hand leaves my cheek and he opens up his eyes, smiling at me.

"Thank you." He said out of the blue.

"What for?"

"For not rejecting?" he giggles nervously and covers his face with his hands.

He lays there watching me but I have no idea of how to respond to him.

I just watch him closely.

I look into his eyes, and admire his features.

A car that suddenly drove by makes me realise that we should probably get going.

I stond up quikly and he follows my lead.

He picks up the blanket and folds it neatly before taking my hand in his once again.

Then we both start the walk back to the ward in utter silence.

After a while of walking he starts moving his thumb against my hand which made me look up at his gaze only to see that he was already looking at me.

I look at him and look...waiting for him to look away eventually but that didn't happen...so I decide to break the akward silence we shared.

"Uhm...we should walk faster..." I release my hand from his hold and start strutting away really fast.

Jungkook has to run to catch up with my sudden speed, and he eventually does as he is really fast.

Then he just walks with me. Not daring to hold my hand again because that would just make me uncomfortable, and he knows.

When we reach the ward most of the cars have left already and Jungkook's parents are waiting for him by their car.

That's when I knew, trouble was to follow.

My dad is probably really mad already.

"Shit..." I swear unintentionally and rush off, leaving Junhkook there in the lot.

I rush through the entrance and see my parents still greeting some of the guests.

When my dad spots me I see immediate anger in his eyes.

Then out of the blue he starts walking towards me, fists clenched.

I swallow hard trying to build up courage for what was to come.

"Father..." I start reasoning, at least tried, before he even reaches me properly.

"Y/n! Where the hell were you!?" He shouts in a whisper voice so that no one would hear him.

"Da--"

I see him getting even more angry as I was about to call him Dad.

"Father, I'm sor--"

"Don't say you're sorry!!! You probably wandered off with that Jeon kid. Y/n. I'm warning you. Stay away from him. He's trouble!" My dad sounds sincere but I can't for one moment believe the words he says.

Jungkook is nothing but sweet. The way he kissed me. So gently.

My dad is just jealous! He knows nothing of what happened tonight. Now he wants to blame me?

I get angry at the selfishness my father is showing.

"You're the one who set me up with him in the first place! And what about earlier? Huh. You WANTED me to meet him!" I snap back at him for being the way he is.

He is the one who made me share a table with him in the first place and now he wants to be like this? Telling me to stay away from him? What a joke!

I'm now pissed at my dad for acting like this and I'm not going to take it!

He's always been unfair towards me.

Yeah he's a great dad and takes care of me well but he was always so hyped about his image that he took away my childhood.

I never got to go to funfairs, I always had to go training for pageants and study day and night to be able to take over the family company.

I've had it!

"Y/n! Don't you dare talk to me like that ever again! I am your father and you do as I say. Whether you like it or not! And who said anything about setting you up with him! What are you talking about?" My dad pretends not to know about the table.

I know what the tradition is.

When a family ascends into a commitment of sharing a company with another family, the children of the owners of the different families must marry or at least become great friends. This is because, when the families that own the company dies, their children won't be rivals and the company can still go on from generation to generation.

So I know my dad did something to set me up with Jungkook. It is his parents that's going to join my dad's company.

"Oh? You don't know?" I start sarcastically. "The table sir. I'm not dumb. You made me and Jungkook share a table." I was about to turn around and walk away. I've had enough playing pretend for one day.

"What table, Y/n?" His words make me laugh and turn back around to face him.

"Table 1A. That sound familliar daddy?" I say, obvious and sarcastic again.

"Y/n. I did not make you share a table. For fuck sakes. I should've known he'd do something like that. Martha!" My dad calls my mom from over my shoulder.

Soon I hear the clacking sound of her high heels approaching up close.

"Yes, love." Her feminine voice comes from behind me.

My dad just gives me a glance of worry then takes my mom away to talk.

What the hell?

If this is true......does it mean everything Jungkook did tonight was false?

It could be that maybe his parents want to sabotage my dad...?

He is one of Seoul's most wealthy company owners.

Heck he IS the most wealthy company owner of Seoul.

This could not be good....
