Allure

Her Dad

Chapter Two

This was too soon to be called, that I am actually getting married next month. My dad has sent invitations to all his colleagues and friends,he is literally happy.

Seeing a big curved smile on his face, makes me wonders. Since my mother passed away when I was just three years, I actually didn't get any experience of mother's love, but my dad never made me feel less of not having a mother. I love him how much a daughter should love him, and I will try my best not to disappoint him.

"Chae, I will have to go to Mark's place for preparation, coming?" He asked me as he buttoned up his sleeve.

I agreed , but I stood there staring at him. I received attention from him when he saw me staring.

"Chae,is there something you got to say?" He asked looking worried.

"Dad, I don't know if I'm actually ready for this. I..I can't leave you." I cracked my voice tearing myself into tears.

His face soon turned into a softer expression, he held my hand and made me seat on the couch.

"Sweety, it's not that always I can be with you. You have to move on and Chanyeol is a good guy,and after that I will visit you every month.Okay?" His voice cracked up, I knew he had mixed emotions, just not revealing it.

"B..but you will be alone, who , who will take care of you?"

"I will not be alone, I will be visiting Alice and you too... I am old now, I just want peace.". He paused for a moment.

" you are a woman and a woman has to pass this period of getting married. I can't always be with you." As he wipes my tears with his right thumb.

My emotions were uncontrollable, and I couldn't stop crying.

"Who is my brave girl?" He asked.

"Me.." I replied while crying with a chuckle.

We entered the gateway, Mr. Mark greeted us following a smile on his face. Chanyeol stood by the main door with a smile and greeted us. 

"Yeoli, you both spare some time while we decide about the arrangements" Mr.Mark addressed him.

Chanyeol nodded.

"You want to have a tour of my house?" He asked.

I nodded, he showed every corner of the house. We had more like friendly relation than a romantic one.

His room was huge . Guitars were hung on the walls , instruments had their own rooms. I liked playing music, and this made me more anxious.

We both sat on his bed while we talk about our family backgrounds. It seemed that he had been in relationships many times before he started his career path.

"I had a relationship before. It was pretty serious one actually" he says.

He is the manager of his father's company, and work is his life. His Unnie is married named Yoora, who is a news reporter. When I asked about his mom, he just changed the topic.

"Chaeyoung-ssi , are you sure you are going to marry me for your dad's happiness? " He asked sipping the cup of coffee. 

I nodded, nothing else.

" I am really busy with my career, and I will be going to business trips. Hope you understand." I nodded again without replying much.

"Did you have any past affairs?" He asked with a furrowed eyebrows.

"Yes, but it was just temporary. That guy just used me for wealth. He ditched me when he found other one."

He nodded understandingly, "do you have anyone now?"

"No, after being ditched I haven't" I replied keeping my head low.

He held my hand tight," Chaeyoung, I feel so bad you are getting married to me and wasting your life. As I may not be giving you love you deserve."

We talked much about emotions and gradually I had become comfortable with him. It was still a friendly relation.

He is really sweet, maybe we can get along. Just we need is ,some time.

-----

It was the last day I will be a bachelor, and tomorrow I am literally going to be married. But, I don't know I just feel she is just wasting her life, even though she is beautiful she is leaving all her hopes and goals for her father's oppinion. I am not blaming her, but she could just have second thoughts. But, will we make a good family together? Will I be able to support her? I have no idea.

I was typing on the laptop keys ,eyes fixed on the bright screen seated on my bed. There was a knock at the door. "Come in dad" I answered. The door slid open, a smile crept my face seeing my dad. He walked towards and sat beside me checking what I was doing.

"So, yeoli do you know about Chaeyoung's father"

"Hmm no.." I replied still fixed my gaze on the screen.

"Do you know, why he is so eager to make his daughter marry you?"

I stopped what I was doing , I shook my head and waited for an answer.

He gave out a deep sigh, "Actually, he is having .. a disease which cannot be cured. He had been in treatment for four months and Chaeyoung didn't know about this. But now there is no hope. When his medical results came out he asked me to hand his daughter to you." He told me in a crocky voice, fighting over tears.

I sighed, I just couldn't believe what I just heard. I held his hands tightly.

"He wants to see his daughter happy like every fathers, that's why he asked me about you. He said .. he wa..want to see his daughter safe in a trustful person before he closes his eyes forever. "

This really teared me up, and my heart beat in unusual way. I just couldn't believe, thi..this is true.

Do I deserve her? And will I make her happy?
