Chapter 2 - Stealing the limelight

A man could be seen walking towards the bathroom with a towel on his shoulder, entering the bathroom he turned on his shower and got under it, the warm water streamed down his body making his already perfect features more alluring. He showered quickly with the activities he planned out for the day ready to be executed. His elder brother was getting married and he planned to grace the event with his presence. After showering, be applied some lotion, walked to his walk in closet and picked an Armani suit. He wore the suit which cladded his body perfectly , He matched his suit with a black shoe and a gold brooch, he then slicked his hair backwards with the help of some gel, making he's hair smooth and shining. Feeling satisfied with his look he went out of his room. Using the elevator in his home, he strode to his garage and upon reaching there he met bowing Yu Giuk. Yu Giuk was his personal assistant who knew almost all his plans and also helped in executing them. Suho gave Giuk a Curt nod and got into the already opened backseat door of his car. Giuk closed the door and moved to seat in driver seat. Already knowing where his boss was headed to, he ignited the engine and drove towards their destination; it took them one hour to reach sun and moon hotels. Suho whined his car glass down and eyed the mighty hotel that stood tall among other buildings that was present within the vicinity. Not daring to look at his boss, confused Giuk swallowed his saliva and asked; "boss why aren't we getting down"? , One wouldn't call his behavior fear but rather being cautious not to offend his boss. Suho smirked at the question but remained silent. After some few minutes Suho's voice ranged through the silent car as he said I'm ready. Giuk immediately ran down from his seat and went to open the door for his boss. Suho took his own sweet time coming down from the car as he garnered looks from different sources. Many began guessing his background and coming up with different assumptions. Basking in the attention he's receiving, suho walked majestically to the entrance of the hotel. On reaching the reception, someone bumped into him, that someone stole his breath away the moment he set his eyes on her. Suho watched as Hara stood up from the floor and strained her neck to look him in the eye. The next thing that happened pierced his heart with unimaginable pain to see tears on the woman he has longed for thirteen whole years. He wanted to comfort her but then the plan which he made for this day might be ruined. Hara cleaned her tears with the back of her palms after she got a hold of her self, apologized to the man and went her way, she got into a cab and headed to her favorite place. Rustling of leaves could be heard, Brooks babbling, birds chirping and insects making their various sounds; in all Hara's favorite place could be said to be one of a peaceful, calm and Serene environment. It was a place she stumbled upon during one of her school trips back in high school and it has being her favorite place since then. Hara's favorite place was a narrow and long river surrounded by rocks and trees, if one hadn't known better, they'll term it as a forest. Hara found a piece of rock and sat down on it relinquishing in the calmness of the river; it was just what she needed. She sat quietly for a while recalling the events that had just taking place with a tearful face and snot running down her nose. She tried to convince her self that she hadn't been betrayed by her sister and the man she would have given her life for, but reality still struck hard as she couldn't pinch herself out of the dream that she wished it to be. Staring into space Hara let her sorrow and pain envelop her and let out a shrilling cry. She's been holding it for so long and crying out loud seemed to have been the best option at that moment, because she felt like she would explode if she didn't let it out. After crying out her sorrow, Hara steeled her herself, picked up her back and went back to her apartment. Opening the door to her apartment she threw her bag on the couch, went to her room, and without even changing her clothes, cried her self to sleep.

Back at the ceremony, all eyes were on a certain young man who seemed to be stealing the limelight away from the couple of the day. Different media outlet were happy to be able to cover the face of the man who seldom attends any event no matter the level of importance it has in the society of the rich. Murmurs could be held reverberating throughout the entire hall until it reached the ears of the families of the couple and the couple themselves. Curious as to who was stealing the attention, Bae Yeji quietly dragged Kim junho who could be seen without a smiling face, to the point of the attention attraction. With both eyes and mouth wide open Bae Yeji walked towards Suho and gave him one of those her beautiful smiles that would melt any man's heart but not this man. Suho squinted his eyes at the smile but gave her a Curt nod after some seconds of staring, He moved his sight and landed it on the person standing beside Yeji, Kim junho. The brothers stared at each other for some meaningful seconds each one holding unspoken words until Suho broke the silence after he spoke up, congratulations elder brother were the words he uttered before going to give him a very wide overwhelming hug which only junho and a few others present could depict it's underlying meaning.
