Chapter 33

You were fixing your earing while standing before your mirror, your make up already done and your dress already on.

You had chosen a long black dress for your outing with TaeYong, which was the reason you had taken three hours of your afternoon getting ready without including the morning hours that you spend in a spa, since you had some time that you hadn't visited one.

If it wasn't for a normal outing you wouldn't have put so much effort but it turned out that the place he will be taking you was non other than the birthday party of the head minister of the country and of course at such an event full of famous people and media around, you had to look your best.

Your hairstylist and the make up artist that you had them come over had done a good job with your appearance or so you believed, as you saw yourself in the mirror.

A knock on the door drew your attention towards it and you saw Jimin entering soon after the sound as he had escorted outside the stylists as you had ordered him too. He has been going around with you since morning and thankfully he hadn't try opening up the subject of your vulnerable self, which you happened to display last night by the pool.

You had had a difficulty to fall asleep after that but after you had managed to sleep, surprisingly you had seen a nice dream. A warm hug keeping you safe and calm as a soft humming kept soothing your mind and soul. The sound and the feeling of the touch felt so real that it was hard to distinguish if it really happened or not but when you woke up you were alone in your bed, so of course it was a dream.

"They left miss. The driver is also ready to leave whenever you want to." He informed you and you gave a small nod as a response before turning your eyes back to the mirror. You flashed a smile, practicing how to look happy but you couldn't keep it up for long as it felt awful.

You took a deep breath and closed your eyes, inhaling and exhaling some breaths in order to regain your focus but as soon as you opened your eyes, you saw Jimin's reflection in the mirror, him standing right behind you.

He placed his hands on your shoulders, action that created goosebumps all over your skin and not because his hands were cold. He stared at you through the mirror and his eyes made you grow alert as you felt the tension rising.

His hands traveled upwards and gathered your loose curled hair then he started fixing them up higher, into a ponytail. He looked at you in the mirror and smiled before saying his opinion on your hairstyle. "I think it would look better up."

You looked at yourself after his comment, recognizing that he had a point as if you had your hair gathered, your dress' v line would show better along with the necklace that was decorating your neck.

"Should i change it? I will call them to get back." You decided on the spot and grabbed your phone to call the driver that was sending the stylists home to bring them back but as soon as you got a hold of your phone, Jimin's hand appeared on top of it, stopping you and making you look at the mirror to see his face that was behind you.

"You would look better if you changed it but i don't really want you to change it." He said, his words placing a confused expression on your face as you didn't understand what did he mean by it exactly.

He smiled seeing your reaction and left your hair fall again like they were. His eyes stared at yours through the mirror as he lowered his head and brought it right above your right shoulder, soon turning towards your ear, as his hand tagged your hair behind it, letting your neck exposed to his eyes.

He did nothing but let you feel his breath hit against your skin at the side of your neck, then he got away putting distance between you, as if nothing had happened. As if he hadn't just teased you.

You gulped down with difficulty as you tried to not make much out of it even though it wasn't easy, considering the fact that he had managed to make you flustered. You cleared your throat and then stood up, telling him that you will be taking your leave, while you avoided to look at his eyes.

You grabbed your purse and left the room, as the feeling of his breath on your neck was still too vivid, enough to make you shiver and place your hand on that spot.

TaeYong took your hand and readjusted it on his arm where you had placed it before entering the venue. He placed his usual fake smile on his lips and proceeded walking the way you did.

Once inside you could already tell that this was going to be a long night of talks that were non of your interest as well as pretense interest for the words of whoever would come to talk to you.
It was always like that at such occasions after all, a parade of actors, good manners and high class hypocrisy.

It didn't took long for people to come and greet you and TaeYong. Along with their greetings coming many questions regarding your honeymoon and how you felt now that you were married. How was it to be the wife of a young politician with an aspiring future? The madams kept addressing you that question and you always threw a loving gaze towards TaeYong before facing them again and with a thin smile replying that it was like a dream.

A dream that i would love to wake up from.

A good fifteen minutes went by before the host of the party finally made his way towards you two, by his side, standing a beautiful woman which you immediately recognized as the first lady.

She looked as cheerful and sweet as you had seen her on TV or on other occasions from afar as till this moment you hadn't had the chance to talk to her nor the prime Minister.

They both greeted you politely and the prime minister welcomed you with a happy face on his party while you both wished him a happy birthday and prosperous years ahead, TaeYong being a bit more serious and stiff at his presence than before.

It was normal he would be like that though, as he was a person that held much power and a high status that would make anyone that was on the field of politics grow nervous and alert at his presence as well as think twice over his actions in order to always leave a good impression to the prime Minister .

TaeYong had surely been on his presence more than you had however you understood that as a young politician as he was, keeping him in his favor was probably the wisest thing he could do and because of that fact you assumed that he grew so nervous and stiff, enough for you to actually feel his pressure and insecurity.

You weren't really used to such behavior from him as he was displaying emotions that usually he never let's in the surface and somehow at that moment you felt satisfied that there was something that could really make him stutter and get covered in cold sweat as he was those moments that the prime Minister stayed to your company.

After they left, some other gentlemen of his field drew his attention, adding up to your boredom and making you excuse yourself to the restroom for a moment, where you refreshed a bit your make up while enjoying the quietness the room had. You would have totally chosen to stay there for the rest of the night if it wasn't for the image that you had to maintain and the good impression that you had to leave at the new people that you had encountered tonight.

After you left a sigh escape your lips while looking at your reflection on the mirror, you took your leave, soon finding yourself at the presence of the spacious room and the light piano music that was provided by a professional pianist.

You stood there near the orchestra for a moment, as you saw that Tae Yong was still occupied talking to those gentlemen and somehow you felt out of place since they didn't had their wife's by their side.

As per usual the women had formed their own conversational circles with each other and you could clearly see the groups gathered at the corners of the room. With just one look you could assume what were they talking about as you knew some of them well and for the ones you didn't personally know, you still could make a guess that could highly be proven correct.

You approached the bullet, not having any intentions of joining any of those small groups for obvious reasons. However it hadn't crossed your mind that after some moment of loneliness looking around the bullet, a woman would approach you and call your name.

"Miss Lee." She smiled once you lifted your eyes and saw her, clearly taken aback that the first lady was once again standing before you.

"Mrs Jung." You bowed your head at her properly and she just flashed you a smile, making you think that she seems like a rather friendly person. Not like most of the people that were currently in that vast room.

"Please don't be reluctant to join us. I know it may be uncomfortable for you standing in a room full of strangers but this is supposed to be a party. I wouldn't want any of my husband's guests to be having a bad time." She said to you and you smiled at her while thanking her for her thoughtfulness.

" You have no reason to worry, i assure you that i am having a good time. You are a very welcoming host and it's obvious you have attended to every detail to bring this night to perfection. "You complimented smoothly and she smiled back at you, obviously flattered by your praises.

" Well then, i do hope you have a wonderful night ahead and please don't hesitate to talk to me for anything. "She tilted her head as she finished her sentence and you bowed yours as you reassured her that you will do so before she took her leave with a smile and you just stood there looking at her while thinking that she was too good to be in a place like this.

---Time skip ---

The prime Minister had blown the candles of his cake just some minutes ago, gathering once more attention and wishes for his birthday and giving you one reason to actually look forward to something which was non other than tasting the cake.

Since it looked really good and delicious from afar, you couldn't help but wonder if it tasted as good as it looked. Thankfully the waiters didn't took long to start serving the cake, going around with their trays fool of plates that held a proper amount of cake.

You waited silently in your place for one to pass and offer some to you and to your surprise a waiter walked right towards you and politely offered you to take some, even though he had only one slice of cake remained on his tray. You grabbed the plate, while murmuring a thank you and the waiter left towards the kitchen, probably to refill his tray.

You didn't hesitate to taste the dessert and even find it delightful as it did had a pleasurable taste even though whenever you gulped down a bite, it would leave behind a bitter taste in your throat. You couldn't exactly tell what ingredient would possibly create that flavor which was an odd combination for a cake to have but nonetheless you didn't question much the prime Minister's taste as from what you had heard around, this was his favorite cake.

Sadly you were done with that slice pretty quickly and you were left once more with nothing worthy of your attention, nonetheless you kept up your proper Persona and continued talking and socializing properly with people.

After a good fifteen minutes though, you strangely started feeling bad. A weird feeling of weakness spread all over your body, making your muscles feel tired and a nosious feeling took over your senses. So much that you couldn't pretend that you were okay anymore so you approached TaeYong and asking him to talk to you in private for a moment.

After you managed to get out at the corridor, him following right after you, you turned around and faced him, finally showing to him your exhausting face, as you were barely keeping yourself on your feet by then.

"Please, let's go home. I am not feeling so well."
