Author's Pov:

The sun was shining brightly as usual. Vernon's hands were wrapped around Y/n's waist.

"Good morning", he whispered. Y/n snuggled more into his embrace, "Good morning".

He kissed her head, "You okay?", he asked. Y/n hummed, "Just a little sore".

"Want me to help you?", he asked caressing her hair. She shook her head. "You know you were wild last night", he teased. "Shut up", she whispered and hid her face against his chest hiding her blush, "I don't want to get up", she murmured. "Sleep well", Vernon said pulling her closer.

Time skip,
At Areum's house

"Where were you? What did you do whole day?", A stern voice asked. "Eomma, I was with my friends today", Areum said to her mother.

Her mother scoffed, "Your friends? Do you have any?". Areum kept looking down, "I do. I am old enough to go out without your permission".

"You don't. They are just using you Areum and-"

"Aren't you too using me Eomma for your benefits? Aren't you doing the same thing just to satisfy your ego?", Areum's said angrily

"Shut up. I am you mother"

"But you never behaved like one, Eomma. You are just my parents for namesake nothing else. Appa doesn't even care if I am alive or not. All he cares about is his business and you always care about how to keep your head high using me. You did-", Areum was cut off by a sharp slap.

"I wish I wouldn't have adopted you"

"Even me, Eomma. It would have been hundred times better if I had died along with my real parents that day", saying this Areum ran away.

She ran until she found a quite place. She sat on bench, tears streamed down her face, "Had a bad day?", she heard the familiar voice.

She looked up to see Y/n. "It's none of your business. You must happy seeing me cry", Areum said. "Why would I be happy?", Y/n smiled, "Yeah, I know the things you did makes me want to slap you, pull your hair and make you bald but I am not happy to see you crying. I am not that bad".

"But at the end you are human too. I have heard from your cousins that you were good, I don't know much because you were always on my bad side", Areum was taken aback by her honest reply.

"I know. I am sorry", Areum replied, "Every day I go back home, the only thing I hear from Eomma is that she regrets adopting me but when I decide to leave the house she begs me to not. I am tired of this now. After your wedding, she again did the same thing but this what she did actually made me hate her".

Y/n looked at her curious eyes, "What did she do?". Areum smiled sadly, "She tore and burnt the only picture I had of my family. I was too young to remember them but the only thing I know is that they died in an fire accident and they gave up their life to save me. I had that picture in my bag that time. I still had that picture until Eomma decided to burn it. Let's just say that it was my last memory. I lost everything in that fire accident but only the picture remained. I couldn't help but hate her. I was okay with everything she did but not this. I hate it how my real parents gave up on their life just to save me. A person like me. It feels like I lost everything now. I have no one by my side. I distanced myself from them", Areum said.

"You can be good too, Areum. May be there is a distance between you and them but that distance can be reduced, they will happily accept you once you are the same old Areum which I don't know about but I'd love to know", Y/n said.

"They might, they might not, I don't know but right now the only thing I want to do is leave that house and stay somewhere else", Areum said looking at Y/n.

Y/n cleared her throat, "I know you are feeling down but I am not inviting you to my house after what you did". The image of her kissing Vernon came to her mind, "You are not living with us until I am sure that you are 'the old Areum', she emphasized 'the old Areum'.

Areum scoffed, "I am not even asking you to invite me. I was talking about a vacation". Y/n nodded, "That's good idea".

"Umm, Areum, that day you came to our house. Jisoo gave you first aid. She said some of your scratches are old. Did something else happened on wedding day?", Y/n asked.

Areum glanced at her, "It was because my fight with my mother. I tried my best to stop her and that is when I got some scratches. I have anger issues, Y/n which are definitely not good thing. I get so angry that I don't even realise that I have hurted myself".

"May be you should meet a therapist", Y/n suggested. "I am. The therapy will be starting soon", Areum replied.

"What are you doing here, anyways?", Areum asked. "I came to take groceries. I know it is evening but there is no time for shopping. Also this is a short cut", Y/n said.

Y/n's phone rang, "Oh Shit! I forgot about Vernon", she whispered, "Bye, I need to go now. Vernon is waiting for me". Waving her hand Y/n went.

"No doubt they both liked her", Areum whispered. "Mingyu actually thought I would hurt her. He is silly".

She was sitting there when a paper landed beside her. She took the paper, "What is this". Soon a man came running behind it. 'He is handsome', she thought seeing him. The glasses made him look more handsome, his hair covering his forehead. "Umm, excuse me. That's mine", he said. Areum returned the paper to him, "Eh? Oh sorry, here. I didn't read anything".

"Oh. It's nothing. Those are done of my notes. Anyways, I am Lee Seokmin, a doctor by profession", he extended his hand. "Umm, I am Hwang Areum, CEO of Hwang Company", she introduced herself shaking her hand.

"Nice to meet you Areum", he smiled widely. 'How beautiful', she said in her mind. A man came running who pushed Seokmin on Areum, "Sorry, so so so sorry", he apologized backing away. Areum laughed, "You are cute"

At Y/n's house,

"What made you late?", Vernon asked helping her to arrange the things. "I met Areum", she simply answered, "She said she wants to go on a vacation and now she hates her mother".

Vernon stopped his work, "She hates her mother now? What miracle happened?". Y/n told him everything Areum told.

"Oh, it definitely angered her. She loved and cherished that picture", Vernon said. Y/n nodded, "May be, it will change her". Vernon hummed agreeing with her, "But not everything will be same as before. She changed, we too changed".

"Anyways, what do you want to eat?", Y/n asked. Vernon back hugged her, "You". Y/n elbowed him, "I asked yoi what not whom. Okay, I'll rephrase it. What do you want me to cook for dinner?".

"Anything is fine", he answered. "Okay then", she started her preparation.

Time skip,

It was a week after their marriage. Y/n and Vernon were again busy with their daily work.

"How is your life going, now?", Seungkwan asked. "What are you doing here now?", Vernon asked, "You know there is a rumor going on that if you want to find Boo Seungkwan then come here. You will definitely find Mr. Seungkwan here".

"I love this place okay? It is no fun in my office", Seungkwan said giving him a side eye. "I am just joking", his phone rang seeing Hana's name, "Maybe not".

He picked up his phone and kept on speaker, "Hello! Seungkwan? Where the hell is your phone?", Hana yelled from the other side. "How did she know I am here?", Seungkwan murmured.

"I know everything Seungkwan, even there is rumor going on that if you want to find Seungkwan then go to Vernon's office. You will definitely find Mr. Seungkwan there sipping his Ice Americano", Hana said on the call. Vernon stifled his laugh and Seungkwan stopped sipping his Ice Americano.

"Wait? Are such rumors going on? For real?", Seungkwan asked. "Yeah, even they are thinking that you are into Vernon", Hana said still in her angry tone. Seungkwan took the phone and mouthed, "I need to leave".

"Idiot, that is my phone", Vernon said. "Ahem, Hana, I can't hear you properly. There is some defect in Vernon's phone. I'll call you later", Seungkwan said and hanged up the call. "She will kill me! Bye", Seungkwan said and rushed out.

In Y/n's office:

"Hello, sister", Seungcheol came to her office. "You said you will be here in 5 minutes and that was 15 minutes ago", Y/n said.

"Leave that. I just came to see you", Seungcheol said taking seat. "We just talked yesterday, Seungcheol", Y/n said.

"It doesn't matter", Seungcheol said. "See, I got married now it is your time to get married soon", Y/n teased. "Don't tease me", Seungcheol whined. "You did the same thing, let's not forget that", Y/n chuckled.

"I just came to meet you. Did anything happened after that?", Seungcheol asked referring to the wedding incident. Y/n shook her head, "That lady is just like that. Aslo her daughter left her. So, I actually don't have much idea about that ".

"If she does something let me know", Seungcheol said. "Of course I will but before that she definitely has to face me. After all I am your sister", Y/n grinned. "Yeah, you are my sister", Seungcheol sighed.

Y/n looked at him, "I am offended, mister. Why did you sigh while saying that?". Seungcheol looked at her innocently, "I didn't mean to. I can't believe you are married. I had the habit of seeing you every day. Sometimes, I even go to your room just to realise you don't live with us".

Y/n got up and hugged him, "Aww, you love me so much?". Seungcheol nodded, "We still don't have habit of living without you".

Y/n smiled, "Back to the topic, when are you getting married?".

Seungcheol sighed, "When are making me uncle?".

"Maybe soon", Y/n winked.
