Chapter Four
KAI
I sauntered towards the cafe in which Cheklin had requested to meet me. My fiancée. I raised an eyebrow in disgust for remembering such an inconsequential thing in my life. It was as if we were ever going to get married. No, we would never be together- Cheklin had Sehun, and Rachel was mine.
Since that night, we vowed to each other that we would never let anything come between us anymore. In addition, she made me resolve to never hide anything from her. We are together, she had reasoned. Couples don't hide anything from each other.
My heart constricted and my stomach lurched sickeningly. How was I going to get my parents to accept Rachel as my girl? Just because of the revolting reason that she was poor, my parents refused her as my official girlfriend. Seriously, we're in the twenty-first century now, for goodness sake. Did it matter that I was with someone of lower social status than me?
In my heart, Rachel would forever be of the same status with me. We are one and the same. I would never neglect nor forsake her because of such illogical reasons.
I pushed open the door, sending the tinkling of the wind chimes to announce my arrival. The radiator at the door greeted me with open arms, and I panted as I finally received warmth. Outside, a snowstorm was practically raging, and on the inside, it was pouring.
"Jongin ssi!" Cheklin waved at me. She didn't look the least bit enthusiastic at my entry. And why should she be? She's not in the least interested in me.
Suavely ordering a drink, I looked at the girl in front of me who was supposedly my fiancée.
"So... Let's get to the point. What do you want?" I asked straight-forwardly.
"Well..." Cheklin started.
A waitress interrupted my crucial discussion with Cheklin. Placing the glasses on our table, I heard the clinking of glass.
I rolled my eyes. I had no time for this.
Flashing my pearly whites at her, I beckoned her away. She literally collapsed at my gaze and shuffled off quickly.
"I don't want to marry you." She commented truthfully.
"Neither do I, miss." I sighed.
"I already... Have Sehun."
"Of course. And I'm taken too." this would be much easier. I didn't know much about this girl. But she was trying to be reasonable, so I guess this wouldn't be hard. But before that, let me try one last thing...
I leaned over the table and held her hands in mine. Locking her gaze, I smiled playfully. Sehun was never going to know about how I was about to play with his girl.
"But what if you have to?"
"Ow!" I literally shrieked. Cheklin had trampled on my toes with her high heel shoes, sending a searing pain through my leg.
"You've got the nerve. Sehun's your friend." she alleged firmly.
"I was just kidding." Sehun has to seriously restrain his girl. I had thought Sehun, given his gentle nature, would fall for someone sweet. Not this.
"It's a deal then." She slung her bag onto her arm. "Gotta go. Bye, stupid." tossing her hair over her shoulder, she strutted off.
