The CEO Who Hates Me

"I am not running away you know," Arya murmured as they walked inside the hotel lobby. Ryu never let go of her hand. Ryu laughed and said, "I never thought that holding someone's hand will be this warm. Don't you agree that this felt good?"

Arya chose to remain quiet and just sighed. He seemed to be a warm person when you're on his good side. 'I wonder how he would react once he found out the truth and she'll be on his bad side?' she thought to herself helplessly.

They were almost near her room. Arya's heart was thumping hard like there was a stick drumming it. Probably it's because she was nervous. Ryu's previous words were pumping her brains out – 'I hate turtle moves. I want to do things fast.'

'What if he insisted to go inside?' Arya thought inwardly and brushed the thought away. Maybe she was just being paranoid. Besides, he seemed to be not that kind of a person. In their entire time together, she was not actually forced into something. Her body just reacted on her own which she should learn to control.

That was actually weird thinking about it because she had never felt like or reacted like that when she was with Jim before. She was even fast into avoiding Jim's advantages. Her reflexes moved fast to avoid him whenever he will try to do intimate moment with her.

They reached the door to her room and Arya quickly went inside while she said the words, "Thank you and I had a great night."

When she was about to close the door, Ryu's hand stopped it. Arya's eyebrows creased and asked, "Yup?"

Ryu's face crumpled and said in his rasping voice, "That's it? Aren't you forgetting something?"

Arya was kind of confused and just looked at him with her round eyes indicating she had no idea on what he was saying.

Ryu sighed and said, "You are not the sweet girlfriend type are you?" Before she could comment on his statement Ryu already embraced her and quickly gave her a smack sounding kiss on the lips.

Then he smiled sweetly as he winked at her and said, "You should bid me the proper goodnight like that." Then he turned around and walked back to his room.

Arya was left in wonder. 'What just happened? How come he was the sweet demanding boyfriend?' She thought to herself as she closed the door and touched her lips with her hand. She had her fourth kiss in a row. Was that good for day one on being in a relationship?

She quickly called Kay and informed him what happened.

"That was quick but I already expected it. I heard that your dad's trial was moving smoothly and there's a high chance that he will be acquitted." Kay said on the other line.

Arya sighed and said, "Yes, my mom called me. Kay I wanted to tell Ryu the truth but I am scared. I can't jeopardize my family's well being."

"Family is the most important thing Arya. Just think about them, maybe that way you won't feel that guilty at all. Besides, all people experience being broken hearted. Actually, I'm trying to check on the story behind that revenge thing of Rita. The way I see it, she was not related to Ryu at all. Maybe she was just like us also. She was the one who was fronting on behalf of the true person who wanted to hurt Ryu." Kay explained on the other line.

"They even had a plan B readied in case you will not succeed. I found it actually funny, to throw up these kinds of efforts and money just for Ryu to be broken hearted. Who would even dare to do something like that but at any case maybe it was really for you. You were destined to be in that kind of situation." Kay continued.

"That's what I've thought also. It was an ill fated relationship. 'Everything happens for a reason' – I will just stick on that -quote- for now." Arya said sarcastically.

Kay laughed on the other line, "Yeah that's right. Who knows in the end you are fated to be together." He added teasingly.

"I will hang up now since you're starting to say nonsense things now. See you at the rehearsal tomorrow."

Arya doesn't know if she will laughed or hit her head hard like a crazy person while she was reading Ryu's message on her phone when it beeped.

[Dream of me, will you? That way you won't have a nightmare.]

'What is this? Why do I feel like I am the one being seduced and not the other way around?' she thought inwardly.

That night Arya decided to write a journal for Ryu since she can't tell him now everything or what's on her mind about him. Her bad motive on him was blocking her to express more about what she was feeling so she will just wrote it.

Meanwhile, Ryu received a phone call from his mom that night. "What do you mean? How come that was my fault? I clearly declined to that and you were the only one pushing and insisting for that stupid marriage agreement between families. I never agreed into anything at all."

"Please stop interfering on my personal life and how long do you plan to threaten me mom with your health? For goodness sake mom, stop it already. I am too tired of it. Why are you so afraid with that family? Are you hiding something from me?" Ryu asked with an irritated tone. His mom bid him farewell instead and hung the phone up as soon as she noticed Ryu's rage.

Ryu on the other hand made a call, "Did you already find anything? Make sure you get all the slightest details and report everything to me." He had his means on finding out the truth even if her mom does not speak about it. Ryu let out a long deep sighed.

Then Arya's face suddenly popped out on his mind. Her expression was really cute while he made his naughty movements on her. 'I really like her.' He thought inwardly as he chuckled and grinned alone.
