Few Hours Ago
Song Ji Hun took Kiaraa to his room and as soon as they entered in, he locked the door.
"I am sorry, Kiaraa. I didn't expect things to turn so ugly" Song Ji Hun sincerely felt bad as grandpa Lee went as far as slapping his granddaughter and disowning her.
Kiaraa aimlessly stepped ahead and just sat on the corner of his bed, looking quite shaken and upset at the sudden turn of events.
She could understand that it is not easy for her grandpa to accept her impromptu wedding. Kiaraa expected for him to get upset but she never thought he would worry so much about Aera that he would disown her.
Grandpa saw the struggles she had been going through to save Lee conglomerate and yet not once he thought of giving her a chance to explain herself.
Song Ji Hun's words didn't fell on Kiaraa's ears and she was still thinking about what her grandpa said. His words were ringing in her ears.
Kiaraa tried to control her tears as she still hates crying in front of anyone.
"Did you transfer the funds to Lee conglomerate that we agreed upon before this marriage?" Kiaraa asked Song Ji Hun to distract herself.
Song Ji Hun couldn't believe that even after everything that happened, she still cared about the Lee Corporation and was worried about it.
"Yes, everything has been transferred already. The whole Lee Conglomerate is now not under the financial threat" Song Ji Hun assured her.
"Thank you" Kiaraa blankly said and the next moment her stomach made a light sound, which she ignored but Ji Hun understood she was hungry.
"You can go and freshen up, I asked the servants to have new clothes for you in the wardrobe. I'll be back soon" Song Ji Hun said before leaving.
Kiaraa heard him and lifelessly opened the wardrobe and was a bit taken aback when she found clothes of her choice in her size. She collected a comfortable white long dress and the matching pair of undergarments before stepping inside the washroom as she badly needed a shower.
Song Ji Hun went downstairs had a word with his brother and his best friend before arriving back to the room with some food.
Kiaraa was still in the bath, so he placed the tray on the table and collected a casual white t-shirt and some track pants, before going into Hwan's room as he too wished to freshen up.
By the time he was back in his room, Kiaraa was already out and she was standing in the gallery of his room, looking outside.
Her hair was left open, which was slightly waving according to the wind's direction.
Song Ji Hun got worried seeing her, as she was wearing a light white coloured sleeveless gown, which wasn't enough to protect her from the cold outside.
He immediately opened his wardrobe and found a Red Pashmina, stepping towards Kiaraa, he gently wrapped it around her shoulders.
Earlier, Song Ji Hun asked his servants to order a few sets of nice and casual clothes for Kiaraa based on her taste and made them keep it in his wardrobe in advance.
Kiaraa was startled by the sudden warmth and turned to her left only to see Song Ji Hun standing next to her after wrapping her hands and shoulders.
"Why do you care so much?" She casually asked him.
"You are my wife. If I won't care for my wife, then who will?" Ji Hun asked as a matter of fact.
Kiaraa slightly chuckled, "If I don't divorce you after a year, will you be willing to continue this marriage?" she asked him.
Song Ji Hun was a bit astonished by her question as somewhere it felt like maybe she was considering to stay with him even after one year of their marriage instead of divorcing him like what she planned.
"Of course, I am. I am willing to continue this marriage till I am alive" He honestly answered her.
Kiaraa was not sure why but his words didn't surprise her, she somewhere expected it.
"Glad to know, I still have something to fall back upon" Kiaraa stated sadly.
Song Ji Hun realized the fact that grandpa Lee disowning her has affected her greatly and she was probably even considering to stay with Song Ji Hun forever as she didn't wish to be alone.
This wrenched his heart in pain as his strong woman first time looked broken and helpless.
Not being to take this anymore, Song Ji Hun gently wrapped his one hand behind her back and pulled her towards him. His other hand held her closely at her waist and he tightly hugged her.
Kiaraa's both hands were trapped in the pashmina he wrapped her in and now her whole body was trapped in his arms and she couldn't even move.
But in that moment, she didn't even wish to move as she felt an unexplainable warmth in his arms and the tears she had been holding back for a while now, came out without any warning and she found herself sobbing in his arms.
For the first time, Kiaraa let go of her inhibition of not crying in front of anyone and broke down in his arms.
Song Ji Hun's hand moved from her back to her head and he gently stroked her hair to help her feel better as he too felt bad seeing her state.
Kiaraa cried for a while and once she calmed down, Song Ji Hun held her hand and took her back to the bedroom.
He poured a glass of water for her and after that he arranged food for them. Kiaraa wasn't willing to eat but he insisted and made her eat a few bites.
After they were done with their dinner, he left the tray outside and helped Kiaraa sleep on the bed.
"Where will you sleep?" She worriedly asked him.
Although, she already put a condition that they will never share a bed together, in that moment, she didn't think much about all of this.
"Don't worry the couch is big enough for me to sleep, I'll adjust there" Song Ji Hun assured her.
"Just for tonight, you can sleep here on the bed. It is big enough. I'll sleep at one corner and you can sleep at the other corner and if you want we can put those cushion pillows between us" Kiaraa said.
Song Ji Hun was again surprised by her suggestion as he didn't expect her to be so generous.
"May I know why you are being so generous?"
"You too had a tiring day today and you took care of me just now. I am not that ruthless to not be considerate for one night" Kiaraa sarcastically said before covering herself with the comforter.
"Thank you" Song Ji Hun took another comforter from his cupboard and slept next to her on the bed.
"Don't expect me to be this generous every night. This is only for tonight" Kiaraa added as she didn't wish for him to get the wrong meaning from her actions or for him to have any weird perverted thoughts.
"Yes Ma'am, noted" Song Ji Hun tried to control the huge smile forming on his face.
He didn't add any couch cushions between them and slept at one end of the bed facing Kiaraa, who was facing the other side so he could only look at her back.
'This is not as bad as I expected my wedding night to be. I at least got to sleep next to my wife' Song Ji Hun happily thought before falling asleep.
There Kiaraa too didn't realize when she fell in a deep slumber as she was extremely tired.
