Make It Real Chapter 14


Yuri's act of aborting their supposed first child (in its twelve weeks) had fractured their long-time relationship somehow. Minho was determined to have her baby but she could not give it prioritizing her career. He sacrificed his wish for her happiness. Their relationship had turned cold but it did not came to the point of breaking up. He forgave her not because he understood it, but because his love is big enough to stay. Coincidentally, Minho got reason to push back their wedding again in order to marry his cousin, Juniel. Maybe this will act as vengeance to Yuri's fault, but he must do it to settle their family business and his cousin's protection. Actually, he just accepted the marriage just like an ordinary business partnership, hoping to divorce Juniel as long as she found her true love. This marriage is out of pity but her possession will certainly help him to gain more power and influence.
"Where are you going?" It scared her, seeing his travel bag besides the door. He was just fixing some papers and ready to go.
"My father assigned me to work with a new project. It's matter of years to complete. He had no intention of concealing his secret as it will only ruin the arrangement.
"Years? What kind of project is that? Now, I'm ready to marry you yet you're planning to leave me?" Yuri's contract had expired with Aspen Modeling Agency. She was very displeased by Minho's abrupt put back now that she is free.
"Go, renew your contract." He had long-waited at that availability, now it is Yuri's turn to wait.
"Are you playing with my feelings or what?!"
"Quiet!  If you can wait till I get back, I will." He raised his voice unlike usual. He had change a lot these past months and frequent times irritated over small issues.
"Wasn't your wish to have children?"
"Yeah, well. Whatever." Minho lost all the hope on it after her wrongdoing..
"Okay then. Return to your greedy parents. But don't you ever go back once you step foot on that door."
"Okay." He carried his bag and was determined to go inspite of her remarks.
It made her mad and tried to stop him with a tight back hug.
"Just promise me you'll return then I'll be fine." She asked him while crying.
Minho turned around and held her back. He pampered her so much that it is hard for her to be alone. He promised to keep his loyalty and sustain her despite long distance. He asked her to understand that it is mere business and nothing else.
On the day after his arrival at Gimpo Airport, Minho headed to Choi Hasun's resident to see the girl. He wanted to propose now and say his plan. He needed to do it immediately as to avoid wasting his time. Hasun went out of town when he made a surprise visit. Juniel had been three months absent because of her hospitalization. She was at the living room, sitting on the floor while feeding her cute Pomeranian puppy.
"Juniel, you have visitor." Approached by her personal maid. Even with her status, Juniel never acted as bossy to her housemates. She let them call her by her name as she is the youngest too.
The girl turned her head to look at him. Her brown eyes widened then smiled sweetly after learning it was her cousin. "Oppa." No trace of resentment on her face with what he did last time, Minho got pleased. She stood up slowly, lifting the hem of her green satin nightgown off the floor. He assisted her by holding her hand. He glanced at her bare feet and up to her free flowing long hair. He swore silently, always seeing her in her nightgown and untidy state. "Hello Oppa" She bowed 90 degree to respect the young man.
Minho returned Juniel's bow after greeting his soon to be wife. He never imagined himself marrying such young and careless girl with their twelve years gap and his overflowing dominance. Such a meek and humble girl under his hand. Like a lion to a kitten, this relationship would be problem for him.
"Hello Juniel. It's already 11 o'clock and you're still wearing that clothes."
"Huh?" She checked herself while looking slightly embarrassed. "Sorry oppa."
Minho looked at her from head to toe, assessing her again. Juniel is only sixteen years old, looking fresh and ignorant. Even if this is just a business marriage, when it comes to flesh she has to give in. He is not going to exempt sex in this marriage, in fact it is included in theit agreement. Whether she likes it or not, she has to pay him with such pleasure.
Juniel felt his dark eyes all over her, strangely sending some shivers. She could not explain if this is out of fear or not. It was her first time to be checked heavily by a guy. Instinctively she crossed her legs.
"You're looking for Mama?" She asked him, diverting his attention from her body.
"No. I'm here to talk with you."
"What we'll going to talk about?"
He led her, to the couch and they sat facing each other. Juniel's puppy followed her on her feet and sleep right there. Minho dislikes it when pets staying inside house, such pity that Juniel has to deal his sensitiveness over animals especially she is a pet-lover.
She tried her best to stay confident in front of him but she still awkward as usual. Her head down with hands, clasping on her lap and swaying feet. He was figuring out how to begin it.
"How's your wound, still aching?"
"Not anymore."
"I see. Listen hmm do you remember it when your Mama offered me to marry you?"
"Yes." She answered softly.
"I see, well after studying it, I accepted the offer."
"Really?" Juniel could not believe that he would marry her the fact that he rejected it first time means he do not love her.
"Yes. The initial plan is to marry you when you reach 18 but not until someone attempted to abduct you. I need to protect you as well as JSB that's why I agree. Didn't your Mama prepared it fo you?"
"No she didn't." Hasun was gladdened when Minho finally accept the proposal but she did not inform Juniel because fearing he will pull back again.
Juniel had mixed emotion about this marriage. She had no idea about it particularly the duties. All she knew is her parents love each other and that they were sleeping together. With her tender age, she had no experience about dating or having boyfriend.
"But oppa how we do it without love?" Juniel asked him thinking that love is the main ingredient of marriage."
"Love is not important in this marriage, Juniel. I just take it as kind of business when we act as business partner."
"Business partner?"
"Yes. There are many reasons why I needed to accept it especially your safeties. However, I'm willing to give you freedom and happiness you needed. Soon you'll meet a guy who's genuinely loves you then I'll set you free.
"So you're going to leave me later on?"
"Yes, if you already did." The marriage is indeed just business as he made it clear that love is not possible between them.
"I'm afraid oppa." Juniel was scared feeling she might get hurt. "What if I'll get pregnant, you'll still leave us?"
The statement was unexpected from this girl. He had made love with with artificial methods and would possibly do the same way with Juniel especially that he was planning to divorce her later.
"Of course, I'll touch you carefully."
"What do you mean?"
"Huh?" Minho thought that Juniel already knows anything about pregnancy.
"Isn't the girl will get pregnant if they're sleeping together? Just like our parents." It made him burst into laughter. Juniel is too naive thinking that sleeping together will make a woman knocked up.
Minho massaged his leg, getting hardened by the topic. Juniel's innocence can made a man grew wild just like that.
"Juniel, didn't your Mama or teacher discussed about sex?
She cratched her head trying to remember "Sex? No. Only when we discussed about teen pregnancy, I forgot what we had learned."
"So you don't know?"
"Yes."
Minho felt like a pervert wanting to introduce her about that intimate topic. "After we get married, I have the right to touch you, and you should obey me then."
Juniel blushed at his words. She could not explain it but inside herself there is tingling sensation. "Touch you mean you'll hurt me?" Juniel felt like her question got answer but still has to learn more things about it.
"It's possible."
"Ohh. But if that will give me baby then I don't mind."
"You want baby?"
"Of course." She smiled. She clearly had no idea about marriage and parenting life but she loves the idea.
"I would love to have it but..."
"But?"
"Nevermind." He had no intention of revealing his commitment with Yuri but her choice is kind of refreshing, different from Yuri. If Juniel demand for a baby just like he did, then he is willing to give it for her. Even if he had, plan to split with her, he will not run away from his responsibility at the consequence.
"Now are you ready to pretend at least?" He asked her seriously.
"Yes. Maybe. I mean yes." Despite her fear, she trusted her oppa enough to handle things. This is for her and her company, she should be thankful at least that someone is willing to help her and her family.
to be continued...
