YN's P.0.V-
Because of last night's journey, I was very much exhausted. But somehow I managed to wake up and got ready for office. I didn't want to wake Hyun. He cried a lot.So, I picked him up in my arms and exited my apartment for office.
"Hey YN, guess what! One of our seniors
is throwing a party tonight. It's gonna
be so much fun! You can keep Hyun at
my aunt's place. What do you say?" Aera
asked looking at my direction.
"I'm not feeling very good today. I've to
pass. You go," I replied with a slight smile. She was beaming with joy just now but my refusal made her sulk.
"'Are you sure you're okay? You look a
little bit sick. I'm noticing for a few days
that, you even have morning sickness. I
think you should consult a doctor," she
suggested and then focused on her work.
Now that she mentioned, I realized
she was right. These days I was feeling
nauseous most of the times. I even
developed weird eating habits. I didn't
pay much attention to it, but now I'm
scared. What if I'm...! No it can't happen!
I tried to shake off my worries and
focused on the work.
There was a scheduled meeting today. We all took our seats in the meeting room and the CEO came in a few minutes later. He took a glance at me and then started the meeting.
Seeing him in front of me, made me
remember his confession in the woods.
Sooner or later, he would ask for an
answer. What Would I say! It was for sure that I was attracted to him, so was every other young women. But did I love him!
I was lost in my thoughts instead of
focusing on the meeting. Then suddenly
I felt very sick. I couldn't stay put. I just
covered my mouth with my hand and
ran out of the room. Everyone was quite
startled.
Now it was lunch break and I went to the cafeteria alone. Aera and others came a few minutes later. They were attending the meeting. I was too much embarrassed to join the meeting again.
"What happened in there! Are you okay
YN! Why didn't you come back! Boss was
looking for you!" Aera said while taking
her seat in front of me. Jangmi and Minho also looked a bit worried about my health.
After I assured them that I was okay, they began their daily conversation. Aera was as usual scrolling through her phone and talking gibberish. But she stopped all of a sudden. We looked at her direction, only to find her frozen still as a statue.
"Why did you stop? Aren't you gonna tell
us what happened next!" Jangmi asked
giving her a nudge. But Aera lifted up her head to look at me.
"YN, there's an article and some photos of you and the CEO. It's all over the internet," she said with shocked expression. I forgot to react. My mind couldn't process the information. The thing I feared the most, had finally happened.
I snatched the phone from her hand and
looked at the screen. "The young CEO of
Kim Corp is in an affair with one of his
employees, Lee YN..." I scrolled further
and found some photos of us, kissing.
Someone else was there in the woods,
who took these photos. There were even
photos from when he pulled me out of the water.
Now people started whispering in the
cafeteria. Most of them were looking at
me. I dropped the phone from my hand
and ran out of the cafe. I decided to take
Hyun from the kids center and go back
home. But fate decided something else for me.
I was walking in a hurry when someone
stopped me in the middle of the lobby,
grabbing my arm. "You're YN right! Wow, how did you manage to seduce our CEO! You're something else I must say!" The girl said who was now grabbing my arm.
I tried to free my arm from her grasp
but she didn't let me. Now this incident
attracted people's attention and they
started gather around. I was feeling
helpless and tears threatened to come out of my eyes.
As the situation wasn't already
embarrassing enough, Yiren chimed
in. "Seducing the rich CEO! Is that how
you managed to get the new project!! So
cheap, YN!! Didn't you even think about
your illegitimate son! What's he gonna
think now! My momny is a slut!" Yiren
said mocking me in front of everyone
with a huge smirk.
Now, the whispers got louder and I could
hear them clearly.
'How did she manage to seduce the cold
CEO! She sure knows how to trick people.'
"'She even has a child! Whoa, what a slut!'
Do you think she did this for money!
I don't blame her. Mr Kim is hot. I wonder how's he in bed!'
"The other day I saw hickeys on her. God
knows how many men she's sleeping with!"'
"The poor child! Who would want a mother like her!"
'Ah, my innocent Tae! I want to slap
that bitch really hard!'
Hearing these whispers made my knees
weak. The girl released me from her grip
but I couldn't run away. I was surrounded by curious people. Some just stood there to watch the show and some made disgusting comments. I was now a crying mess. I could see Aera and Jangmi in the distance. They were about to come to get me when a loud voice made everyone quiet.
"What the hell do you think you're
saying!!" Taehyung yelled looking at
everyone. His presence made everyone
scared and they tried to walk away but
Taehyung shouted again. "No one moves
muscle! Stand right there wherever you
are." Now everyone stopped on their spot.
He walked close to me and glanced at
my face. I couldn't raise my head and
kept crying looking at the floor. Then he
shouted again.
"How many of you actually know her
to say such nasty things! Do you even
think twice, before judging someone!!
Yeah, what you saw in those pictures,
were true! But she's not the one trying to
seduce me! It was me who approached
her first. Because I'm in love with her! I
didn't know loving someone is a crime."
Now, loud gasps could be heard coming
out from people's mouth.
"Those of you, who are calling her a slut
because she's a single mother, for your
kind information, that child is mine!
I'm his biological father. And he won't
be illegitimate for long," He added. His
confession made everyone gasp louder
and Yiren widened her eyes. She thought
messing up the sample would work. But
he never told her the fact that he found
out about the truth.
"And those of you who take photos of me
secretly, without my permission and post them on the silly group, get ready to be fired. I already have the list." With that said, he grabbed my hand and dragged me into the elevator.
He took me in his embrace and put a hand on the back of my head. "Don't cry! I'll make everything normal again, okay!" He tried to calm me down. But suddenly I felt numb and my vision went black.
