Summary:

Kai is many things to Jihyun. Her first love, her first heartbreak...and now her fiance.  For any new readers that have stumbled upon this fic, I have shifted the story elsewhere. Please read chapter 22 for further confirmation.  ForewordI grazed my fingers along my stomach nervously, straightening out the creases in my dress. "Why do you care what he thinks of you", I thought with a hint of bitterness , "he wont leave you, he cant leave you". Checking my appearance one last time in the mirror, I slowly made my way down staircase to the living room. "There you are Jihyun!" my mother said with a faint smile, "Come here and greet your in-laws...or should I say you future in-laws" I groaned inwardly at the fake giggle she added at the end of the sentence and turned my attention to the couple in front of me.

A little frown marred my face when I realized there wasnt a single person in the room that wasnt old enough to be my father. "Hes running a little late," Mrs. Kim said noticing my wandering eyes, "But hell be here soon.""Are you sure?" a low chuckle sounded behind me. The husky voice caught my attention and made my heart flutter.I slowly turned around with my head down, thats when I noticed a very familiar pair of legs. Legs that had accompanied me on many walks in the park. Legs that were always entangled around mine when I woke up. Slowly lifting my head up, I noticed a pair of hands, hands that had caressed my cheeks and stroked my hair. Finally, I came to meet his eyes. Cold eyes that tore at my heart and reflected my shocked expression. "Kai..." I whispered before bringing my hands over my stomach, "Kai...".
