My Perfect Fairytale (Lee Donghae Fanfiction)

Chapter TWELVE: The Kim Family

Chapter 12:

[BREAKING NEWS] Kim Sohyun, Chairman of KK Group of Companies, South Korea's richest business tycoon is back with his wife!

The reporters ran towards them, trying to get a scoop as to why they suddenly flew back home. The man stopped in his tracks, now surrounded by reporters of various news channels. A reporter asked him why he seemed to be in a hurry, he gave him a small smile. He looked straight in the camera, "I am going to introduce my daughter to the public soon."

Minjee's face turned pale. Donghae's facial expression was dead serious. None of them said anything for a moment, each drowned in their own thoughts. Both of them flinched when Donghae's phone rang.

[Calling.... Dad]

I knew it. He thought.

"Hyemin, I have to take this call." He stood up; Minjee looked at him and nodded. He walked outside; making sure no one will be able to hear him. He picked up the call,

"Dad."

"Where are you? Come to my office right now! We need to talk! You saw it right?" His father's voice sounded excited, "Mr. Kim is back, her daughter's birthday will be only days from now, and I'll talk to him about the both of you."

"Dad, not this again. I told you I don't want it!"

"LEE DONGHAE!" His father screamed, "What? Don't tell me you are still together? I told you firmly I don't like her!"

"What? Because she's not as rich as that Kim Minjee you always talk about?" His anger is starting to build up again, "We don't even know her! All you know is her name and that she's the daughter of Kim Sohyun! Nothing else!"

"I know she will be great and perfect for you. That is what I know." His dad said coldly.

"Great and perfect because she's rich? She's not good for me, she's good for your company!"Donghae can't help but scream out of frustration, "Isn't that your real purpose?" He forced himself to laugh, "Are you that sure Mr. Kim will agree? I don't think he won't." He said, but he's not even sure himself. He's convincing himself more.

"Are you underestimating me? We'll see." His father hung up. Donghae sighed heavily and kicked the trash bin in front of him, exasperated. He turned towards the door to find Minjee standing there, her face pale.

-

After Donghae walked out, Minjee started to tremble, her thoughts disoriented. Her eyes still fixated on the TV.

The reporters started to run after him to get more information. The headline of the news channel changed to

[JUST IN] Identity of Kim Sohyun's daughter will be revealed soon!

"Mr. Kim, when will it be?" The reporter asked, pushing himself between the crowd of other reporters.

"Soon." He shortly answered, then walked inside the car.

Soon? Minjee thought. She turned towards the wall on her left and counted the days on the calendar. It was only 4 days left until her birthday.

She stood up and walked out the door, only to find Donghae almost shouting at the person on the other line of his phone.

"What? Because she's not as rich as that Kim Minjee you always talk about?" His expression is grim, "We don't even know her! All you know is her name and that she's the daughter of Kim Sohyun! Nothing else!" He screamed.

Minjee froze after hearing her name in the conversation. She almost forgot that both of them belong to the same world, which meant that her father's sudden announcement bothered them.
