Chapter 16 - Chapter Sixteen

Somi

I came back to my home. As I entered my house, I saw my dad and my mom was sitting on the couch. My father's elbows were resting on his thighs and his face buried in his palms. My mom was creasing his shoulder. He was clearly tensed. I walked near.

"What happen, dad?" I asked. My heart was racing. He looked up. My mom said,"He lost his job. For unknown reason."

My eyes widened,"What do you mean by unknown reason?! No mom. We will go there tomorrow. I want answer. What is the reason." I was determined,"And don't think about it too much. I have my own job now. Don't worry." I said with pride.

Their expression softened. I walked in my room. After a quick shower. I sat in front of my computer. I turned on that. There was email. I opened it. My cold freeze.

My job.... It also gone?! And the reason was they were at big lose so they had to cut some names?!

I frowned when I got a message.

~Lauis

________________________________________

It was indeed Lauis. He wasn't belong from normal family. He actually known for his father's money. He had so many sources. Maybe this all was his plot. This man was really behind me.

I clenched my jaw. I really wanted to snap his neck.

I reached where he wanted to meet. It was a park. Kids were playing around. The weather was sunny. I spotted the familiar figure, back facing me. That blonde head. I really wanted to crack.

"Lauis." I calmly called his name. He turned. And smiled. His right false eyeball shine. He was indeed a villainous person ever.

"Hi... Good morning." he waved his hands. I just couldn't hold back,"Good?! Did you leave anything good?! Come to the point!" I snapped.

He whistled,"Feisty... " he chuckled,"Simple. Marry me, Somi. Leave that crack head and come to me." he stated.

My eyes widened,"Are you out of your mind?! I can't."

He raised his eyebrows,"A writer and just a normal survay researcher can't fulfill your family's dream. But I can."

My heart raced. I can't leave Kyro. No more. But I can't leave my family too. I saw Lauis carelessly walked out of my sight.

I swallowed. I was in big trouble.

I took a deep breath as I rang the door of Kyro's apartment. I tapped my foot on the floor. I chawed my bottom lips. The anxiety was showing it's dangerous effect.

Within a minute, Kyro opened the door. He was wearing a sleeveless white shirt, and sweat pants. His hair was sightly soaked maybe he took a shower. He smiled,"Somi." he almost exclaimed in happiness. He gave me a side for me. Guilt ate me alive. Because his heart going to break again again.

I went in. He hurriedly went kitchen,"Sit. Let me bring some snacks too."

Sweat drooling down from my head. I gulped and sat on the couch. After a while, he came with a tray of fried chicken. I looked at him worrily. He sat besides me and looked at me,"You can fresh up. By the way, why you came suddenly? You could've call me." he was sounding so cheerful and happy. After his mother's death. He almost lost his smile.

And the other thing was, he started to opening up more. At first he was silent. But now he was more friendly. He raised his eyebrow,"So a problem, huh?" he finally caught me.

I took a deep breath,"Listen, Kyro. I don't.... I don't think we can be a thing." I blurted. His smile faded,"W-What?"

My heart tore,"We're in crises. And I don't think you should worry about us. I don't want to drag you in it." I swallowed.

"W-Why? What happen? Tell me?" His voice cracked. I knew, it was hurting him to death. But I didn't have choice,"We'll sort it out."

But I freeze when he said,"You're going to accept that Lauis's offer?" his expression darkened. My eyes widened,"H-How?"

"I know everything. How he told his uncle to kicked out your father from his job. And how he ate your job by his friend." He flatly said.

"Y-you know?" I stuttered. He nodded firmly,"I thought, you will tell me the problem. I thought I was equal. But no I was wrong." He stood up,"Because I'm younger. And I may can't handle these. You made decision to leave me?" His voice was calm but it was pinching like venom. I stood up,"I have my reasons. I'm sorry. But if we don't work we are gonna-----" I paused when he show me his phone.

"I already find jobs for you and your father. Even in double dollar." His expression unreadable, he stepped closer. Unconsciously, I stepped back. I didn't realize when my back hit the nearby wall. He caged me. His big hands was two side of my head. He leaned closer,"I told you. I gave you chance. Once I convinced myself that I won't leave you. I won't. I found you like diamond in cole." his lips brushed again my ear,"And about you. You can't get rid of me now. I can be two years younger than you. But only I can give you what you need. What you want. And I won't let you go." his voice was husky.

I didn't remember he was like this from the beginning? Inside his gentle humble facade he was this possessive? But deep down I liked it also.

He leaned back sightly,"I will see you later for this mistake." He leaned aggressively and started to kiss me, passionately. His lips moving more skillfully now. I unconsciously moaned in the kiss. He pressed his body against me. Then he pulled from the kiss, he was panting.

He pressed his forehead against mine,

"I love you, Somi. Please don't leave me." he whispered. His voice cracked. I saw his eyes eyes moist sightly,"Because if I lose you. I will lose from everything. A man always need a woman, Somi. Please be my woman."

I creased his cheek,"I-I'm sorry, Kyro." Finally tears left my eyes. I couldn't hold myself anymore. I hugged him tightly,"I'm so sorry." he hugged me back and creased my back. Gently he broke the hug. And looked in my eyes. I saw a playfulness and a determination?

"We are running away tomorrow." he stated.

My eyes widened,"W-What?" he nodded,"Yes, I am taking someone who is mine. Only mine. Then I will teach a listen to that fucker." he grawled.

He was crazy. So crazy.

"And you have no choice. I will manage everything." He tightened his grip.
