Eclipse - arranged marriage Jaebum

Eclipse part 10

Eclipse chapter 10

Today is the day . The day I’m gonna married to a man that I don’t even like let alone love . Am I really let them do whatever they want in my life. Should I ran away from this mess and never comeback . Really yoojin! You won’t be able to step on to your uni if you do that stupid!! it’s only work on movies not in real life dumb! I scold to myself looking at the huge mirror in front of me . My mom has done a great job by finding a makeup artist for me if not dark circles under my eyes would be visible to the whole world when I step out from this room. They have left me alone after dressing me up and I haven’t seen Jaebum since the day He came to pick me up . He must be enjoying this little drama called marriage. He can finally have my father’s company for himself after the marriage . this like a little celebration for their stupid business . Wait till I complete my degree . Knock on the door brought me back from my silly thoughts.
Come in!
Door open revealing my father dress in a fine suit .
“yoojinah !!...my daughter is really pretty today .....dad is proud of you! Thank you for accepting this finally and be good to jaebum He will take care of you” he said putting a huge smile . I resist my urge to roll my eyes. He can’t be serious just how money and greediness can change a man into something else.
“let’s go, dad will accompany you they are waiting for you” he said while giving me his arm to hold. I nod at him and hold his arm and my bouquet carefully getting up trying not to ruin my dress . When the door open revealing me to everyone out there my grip on father’s tighten
okay this is too much. I literally want to disappear in to the air because of all the attention .. everyone is staring at me with a smiles on their faces. I try to calm myself while taking a deep breath. I should have ran away when I had the chance. Yoojin pull yourself together it’s not the right time to freak out . My inner voice scold me. I carefully take small step at once trying so hard not to trip and fall. I look at the front not trying to focus on anyone’s face but a bad move . My eyes were captured by familiar dark eyes staring at me intensely .There stood Lim jaebum in his fine expensive white  tux looking handsome as ever with his styled hair and powerful aura he looks some what different wearing a full white suit it’s actually breath taking view he really is good looking .okay stop! this isn’t time to drool over him . Without me knowing I reached to where he stood and he reach forward and my father place my hand in top of his making me nervous than I was . He hold my hand gently  and help me to stand up next to him . I simply stare at his coat buttons not looking at his eyes but his eyes are on me . I can feel it very well. Priest start the ceremony and I tried to focus on what’s he is saying but all my focus is on jaebum steady chest and how it fall and rise to a rhythm. Screw me! We shared our vows and I literally went white when it’s time to share our kiss in front of this whole audience. The last thing I want to do is kissing him. His grip on my hand tighten as he feel like I’m gonna back away in anytime. he leaned closer to my face tilting it upward . I squeezed my eyes shut and wait till his lips place on mine  but nothing came . He place a soft kiss on my cheek and leaned back with a smirk in his face .
...................................................................................
I’m sitting on his car heading to my new house where I’m going to live on from now . I stare out of the window looking at the passing cars making my head dizzy . We didn’t talk much on the ride and both of us are use to the silence between us anyway . I want nothing but to fall asleep as soon as possible . I spent the whole day going around with jaebum in this big heavy dress and it cost all of my energy . I look back at him . He looks little tired too. He turn his head toward me as he feels my stare
“are you tired”
“bit”
“we are closer now wait a little “ he said while looking ahead again.
He was right we reached with in few minutes . He guide me inside and I follow his lead . I look around a bit until he clear his throat gaining my attention toward him.
“so we will be sleeping on master bedroom and I will arrange you a study room soon” he said gesturing upstairs .
“ oh common ! You don’t have to share your room with me . Can’t I have a one on my own”
He look at me while raising his eyebrow
“and why is that”
“well we are not like actually married . We don’t have to act like a one so... yeah you know” he let out a sigh.
“well I know we are not in best condition and I don’t know from where you get that idea but I do. I take this marriage serious yoojin and I hope you will too.” He said with a tired tone and left . I was still staring at to the space where he was movement ago. His words struck on my head . I suddenly remember what his mother said to me on the wedding

..................Flashback......................................
Yoojinah!!
You turn around to the voice of Mrs.lim
“oh mrs.lim I didn’t get to talk you earlier “ I said with a polite smile
“ohh why are you calling me mrs. Call me Mother from now on yeah” she said while giving me a hug. I wonder how can a person like mrs.lim has a son like jaebum .
“I always wanted a daughter like you. Pretty and smart “ I giggle at her
“yoojin you know you can always talk to me right don’t hide anything from me. I know jaebum can be quite stern at times but believe me he was such a affectionate kid when he is little. We are the ones at fault anyway” she said taking my hand I just stood there awkwardly not getting what she meant by that
.........................................................
They all are saying the same thing and it makes me feel like I’m the bad one here . Well I’m not the one who start all of this it’s him not me.  I stare at to the space until jaebum comes downstairs dress in pair of sweatpants and sweatshirt while I’m still on my wedding dress. It’s my first time seeing him wearing comfortable clothes . His hair is still wet from shower and he let it down almost covering his eyes. He looks somewhat innocent???.
“why are you still here go and take a shower . Your belongings will reach here by tomorrow morning “ he said while turning on the TV
I stood up and went upstairs carefully I should have clean myself before thinking about stuff argh!!! I easily found the room and close the door behind me and start to remove all the pins they stuck in my hair and let it down . I reach to zipper of my dress and pull it but to my luck my hair stuck between zipper and the dress. Oh no! I try to pull it down but it’s only make my hair stuck in more. I groan to myself I should have undress before removing pins .I can’t even move my head now. Should I call him . Oh no that would be embarrassing . I try to reach there again but no use . I turn to look at the door but only to let out a yelp . I made up my mind
“jaebum can you please come here” I wait for a reply but nothing came .
“Jaebum are you there !! CAN YOU PLEASE COME” I yelled as loud as I can . Is he ignoring my calls . I walk to the door while tilting my head back but before I open the door jaebum walk through it . I stop in my track and look at him with a helpless look .
“what are you doing” he said looking at me weirdly
“I’m kind of stuck in this dress sooo..” I said pointing the zipper
“ohh.” He gestures me to turn around and stood beside me and take a look at my mess and try to pull the zipper
“ouch!! Hey don’t pull it just remove my hair first” I said annoyingly he glare at me through the mirror but do as I said . He manage to pull my hair out of the zipper and pull the zipper down to  where I could reach my hand easily . His fingers slightly touch my bare back making me shiver but he withdraw his hands immediately .
“there done” he said meeting my eyes through the mirror and I nod at him waiting for him to leave but he raise his eyebrow . I frown at him until I realize what he want geeez
“Thank you for helping” I said and with that he turn around and left closing the door behind him. I unzipped the dress finally and went to take a nice warm bath.
