"What time will your class ends?" Wonwoo on the other line asked.
"3pm today."
"Don't go anywhere. I'll pick you up and we'll go back to my office. I have meeting at 4pm." He told.
"Okay."
He ended the call.
"Wonwoo?" Ara asked, peeking at Sehui's phone.
"Yea."
"Why?"
"I don't know. He said he'll pick me up and go back to his office, he have meeting at 4pm. What's the purpose of picking me up then? He's just burdening himself." She frowned whilst she's still talking.
"Maybe his father wants to see you." Ara shrugged.
Soon, the class ended. Wonwoo is already there waiting for her inside his car. When she got in, he didn't say anything but only stare at her which baffles Sehui.
"You'll have to be at the conference room as well during meeting. Just keep quiet, it's an important meeting." He informed.
"Huh? Why would I be there? I can just wait in your office. I don't want to hear any confidential informations about your company, I'll feel like a trespasser who's looking for a confidential documents." She furrowed her eyebrows.
"Just stay with me." He groaned after that.
Sehui's heart skipped a beat.
"It's been a month since the Jungmin incident. He haven't been contacting me and I'm sure he's planning to do something bad to you, I knew him for so long. You're not safe alone." His statement made Sehui's mouth went agape.
She facepalmed.
"Don't get me involved with any of your shits please." She rolled her eyes.
"You're my wife, Sehui. Jungmin didn't knew the truth behind this marriage. He mustn't know anything. He's only jealous of me and I'm sure he's trying to do anything bad to you, I knew him." He stated and Sehui only nodded her head as she wasn't interested.
"What will happen if he find out?"
"I won't be the next chairman."
"It's all about rank and status again." She rolled her eyes.
"Look, this is really important to me. Being the next chairman is all I ever wanted. Once Jungmin find out the truth, it's over. He'll spread everything to literally everyone and my father would literally disown me knowing that I am actually deceiving him by faking this marriage to be the next chairman." He explained and again, Sehui still wasn't interested.
She sighed.
"What do you want me to do then?" She raised an eyebrow, crossing both her arms together.
"Just keep on being by my side, you're only safe with me." As Wonwoo said that while looking straight to her eyes, Sehui could feel her heart beats faster as her cheeks are beginning to get hot.
"That's why I'm bringing you to my office."
Sehui didn't bother to talk, not that Wonwoo is talking to her as well. The ride was just filled with silence and awkwardness. Arriving at the company, Sehui only followed Wonwoo by being two meters behind him.
It feels weird to have all the employees at the company bowing to them.
"That must be his wife."
"She's a uni student? What?"
"She's probably only after his money."
Sehui could hear all the employees gossiping about them, she looked at Wonwoo and he doesn't even seems to be bothered by whatever they're saying unlike Sehui.
Arriving at his office, Wonwoo continues his works while Sehui sat on the sofa facing him.
"Can I go and see my dad?" She asked.
"No." He answered, without even looking at her since he's busy typing something, probably his works.
"Why?"
"If you don't mind about them gossiping about you then you're free to go." He shrugged.
"You're right." She nodded her head.
Sehui missed her father, but she couldn't see him or else all the employees will be talking bad about it. Her dad works for Wonwoo, the others might think that Sehui marrying Wonwoo might be because of her dad, not forgetting that Wonwoo gave her dad an increment as well.
They might think that Sehui is only after Wonwoo's wealth and rank.
"Come on, it's already 4pm now." Said Wonwoo.
Sehui followed Wonwoo to the conference room. It seems like all of them had arrived few minutes earlier than Wonwoo.
"Sit there." He whispered.
Sehui nodded her head and sat at the very back of the conference room. She scanned all of them, it seems like all of them are like the CEO, secretary and any higher ups like that.
The meeting started.
Wonwoo rested his arms on the table as his fingers plays with the pen, listening to the one currently doing the presentation. Sehui stared at him and gulped, shaking her head.
'He's so drop dead good looking.'
When everyone had already talked about their opinions and ideas out, it is finally Wonwoo's turn to conclude the meeting. He stood at the front, he's talking with a serious face. Sehui noticed how charming he really is.
'This job suits him really well.'
Once the meeting ended, Wonwoo walked to her and grabbed her wrist, bringing her out of the conference room. Sehui was surprised with him suddenly doing this, but she didn't say anything.
"We'll head back home now. Let's go." He said as he grabbed his briefcase.
Once again, the ride back to their house are surrounded with silence. Sehui didn't know why but, Wonwoo's acting a bit different today. Less colder, a bit caring and.. Kind.
Arriving at their house, both of them are on their way to the door when suddenly,
"ARGH." Wonwoo screamed and winced in pain as he fell on his knees.
Sehui turned around, her eyes enlarged as she gasped.
It was Jungmin.
He hit Wonwoo's head with a stone.
"Wonwoo!" Sehui was about to run to Wonwoo when suddenly Jungmin pulled out a knife and pointed it to her. Sehui gulped as her heartbeats fastened, scared and nervous.
He headlocks her and pointed the knife to her.
Sehui's really scared right now, she've never experience this kind of thing obviously, she feels like her life is ending very soon. Her hands and legs are shaking, never even once in her life that she thought she could be in an agonizing and horrendous situation like this.
"HAHAHAHAHA." He laughed like a maniac.
"Now, now, now. Give me the money, Wonwoo. No more bullshit this time, I want real money." His voice sounded so monotonous, like he didn't even have the time to joke around.
"Let her go." Wonwoo said in a very cold and dry way, standing up, he shoot Jungmin the scariest death glare Sehui had ever seen from him.
"Money first."
"I SAID LET HER GO." He bellowed.
Jungmin pushed her away.
"If you ever touch her again, I won't hesitate to cut your head off, I mean it." He grimly warned.
"I wouldn't touch her if only you give me my money." Jungmin rolled his eyes, irritated.
"You think you deserve the money? What about me? I lost my love because of you, in return, I'm taking your money." Wonwoo retorted.
Sehui stood there.
She didn't know why but when Wonwoo mentioned 'my love' for Eunyoung, she could feel her heart breaking, it's really something unexplainable to her.
She didn't understand anything, Jungmin, the money, the Eunyoung mystery, all of Wonwoo's past. She really had no clue on what the hell is happening, who's bad and who's good. She could only watch in silence.
That's when Wonwoo kicked Jungmin's hand, making his grip on the knife loosened, the knife fell from his hand. He was about to grab it when again, Wonwoo kicked his shoulder.
"Stop disturbing my life, will you?!" He yelled as grabbed Jungmin's shirt
"I told you, just give me the money."
"I lost a lot because of you, I don't want to lose anything else. Get out of my life." He pushed him away.
Jungmin scoffed before he smirk.
"Wonwoo, Wonwoo. What are you doing to your own life? You're really pathetic. Are you sure you lost Eunyoung because of me?" He smirked again, but even more devilish now.
"Run before I kill you."
"Okay! Relax!" Jungmin chuckled as he raised both his hands, walking away from them while laughing like a lunatic.
Wonwoo sighed. He turned to look at Sehui who's now giving him a terrified look. He walked to her and lifted her chin.
"Are you alright baby?" He asked and that made her gulped.
Slowly, her hand pointed his forehead.
"B-blood." She stuttered.
Wonwoo touched his forehead and checked his fingers, there is indeed blood. It was from Jungmin earlier when he hit Wonwoo's head with a stone.
"This is nothing, really." He said, annoyed.
