Chapter 71

We were getting ready to get married in the December. My relatives were shocked and they all assumed that I had hooked up the guy during the contest, my parents denied but still they thought. They kept asking for a photo of the groom and I told them to look up on the internet and sent them a link. Dongmin has not yet declared that he was getting married to the public yet. He was waiting till the last moment because he wants to arrive here without any traffic. Dongmin is just 26 and he is the first artist to get married that young. Dongmin was serious of getting married. We could have waited for another year but he did not wanted to wait and spoil the relationship, in conclusion he did not want to lose me what so ever and I did not want to. May be we could all fantasize getting married to our celebrity after all but then again they are not the same person that we see on the screen. They are less dazzling and more human just like any of us. And I was surprised to find out that he is goofier than in the screens. I fell head over heels for the off screen Dongmin.

My business has sky rocketed. My market increased and the demand increased too. But I still stuck to my rules of production. That I will be only producing 200 bottles per category per month. I was tired from yesterday's cosmetic making. I took a bath to get refreshed up. I checked my phone after the shower. Steven had called me more than 10 times. I then clicked the texts he had sent. It was an article in the newspaper. The title read, 'The ********* cosmetic brand is actually a fraud.' Anyone could clearly tell that they are taking about my brand. I sat down and read the article hastily. It spoke of my school and college days that I had been bullying and ABUSING WOMEN. It says that the victim will reveal this soon to the public. I panicked. Only person that flashed in front of me was Dongmin. I cannot let anyone know about this. I called Steven back.

"What took you so long?" He screamed in to the phone. "I was having a shower. What should we do now?" "I have filed a complaint to the police for spreading of false information." His voice was full of wrath. "Did you get to know who the victim is?" "Wait, I am getting a call." He hung up on me. After ten minutes he called again. "Anna come to the police station with your dad quickly. I will send you the address." I quickly got ready and called my dad. He was not answering the call. My mother called her brother to accompany me. My uncle, my cousin brother and a friend of his came with me to the police station. Steven raised his eyebrows. "I think I asked for your father only." "My father is not picking his phone up."

We sat in the police station. The police officers were trying to contact the newspaper publications but they were not answering the call. My father came after ten minutes. "Anna, are you okay?" The police officer spoke, "It would be better if we can get a proof from the University and your previous school. So that we can take legal action on the publications before it spreads wide. My father said that it was their job to find the truth and with a little hassle they went to my school and as well as to the university. The head and the school principal had signed a letter and had given to the police officers. With the letters, we went to the newspaper publications and reported to the main desk.

We got to meet the writer and the editor. They did not want to reveal the informer. "I do not need who gave this false information and it would not be professional to reveal the informer. Then again I need compensation for the damage you had done to my company with no evidence that I was an abuser." I spoke in a calm and friendly voice. The director of the newspaper spoke, "What are you expecting? Can we not take the legal cation? Please?" "Okay. But for the damage you have to put an apology letter on the front cover and for three month straight you have to advertise my products in all your newspaper and your website." They were revolted. I did not want to let this go. If I did this press would not learn a lesson, and they will take extra measures next time. They agreed after I dropped to two months and one week. It was a loss for them to print my advertisement with no income. But I got lucky this time.

The news about my cosmetics did not blow that hard so did not reach to Dongmin either. Which was a relief. I took the extra measures was that I did not want to disappoint him nor I did want others to talk bad about him. I wanted to take responsibility for my own mess.

Dongmin's shooting finished. It was an action movie this time. His acting has slightly improved with time. The movie was a hit and it even made to the ETFLIX. He was having an interview regarding the movie in LA on August 25th. He told me that he is going to announce that day that he is going to get married. But he will keep my identity hidden for the mean time.

The internet was blowing up with our marriage news. Everyone had the idea that I was a Korean girl. There were wishers, shippers as well as haters on the interface. It did not bother me at all. All that was running on my mind was how will I hold his hand. I had never held a man's hand claiming I am his and he is mine.

We will be having one wedding here and another back in Korea. Here arrangements will be my own expenses and none of Dongmin and vice versa in Korea. I was not going to settle in Korea till now. I had to change my University to Korea. And yes it was decided I was going to stay in Korea, where my husband was. I even took measure to save money for only air plane tickets to run back him if I felt and wanted to. I know that Dongmin will take care of me but then again there is no comfort as your home and warmth as your parents.

Within a week I am getting married to Dongmin. I was busy with my cosmetics, studies and also preparation for the wedding. I had no much time for Dongmin these past few days. He was whinning about it.

My mother was calling out to me hastily. "Mom, I am working on my assignment and have you talked with Anthony about the stickers?" "Anna come down! Quick!" "Why ma?" I came down with a frown to find Dongmin standing on the doorway with a bouquet and a chocolate. Oh S***! I AM IN MY PYJAMAS! I ran back. I could hear him laugh.

I quickly changed my pyjamas to jeans and a blouse. He knocked on my bedroom door. My mother had sent him to my room. What was she thinking? "Anna, it is fine. You can stay in your pyjamas." I could feel him having a grin on his face. "No." I replied. No because I am not wearing a bra right now. Can I tell you that now? I barely have had any physical contact with him at all and I was nervous. Like this was not me at all. I am a pervert but why am I nervous?

I opened the door. "You wore makeup too?" He teased me. "Why are you wearing?" "Because I am celebrity and I have come out." he spoke and he sat on the chair. "Well, I am CEO of my cosmetic brand." He smiled and he kept the bouquet on the desk

He observed the piles of papers and he said, "You are really busy. Is it for the transfer to the Korean University? I nodded. Then he saw XO band products. "Why have you not put up any of my band stuff?" "I am not a fan and I am loyal to my artists. He snickered and then he spotted his face on my dream board. I ran quickly to cover it up. "Come on Anna, I am your fiancée." "No you have to go out of my room now. Shall we go the garden? It will be more refreshing." He stood up to leave the room and I was about to follow him. He tricked me he came back. I stood in front of my dream board. Thank lord I had pinned the photo below and I was short and he was tall. With his man power he wrapped his hand around my waist and pulled me towards himself. My breasts pressed against his torso. I remembered the article, 'Do you guys feel our breasts when we hug? Of course we do (with a blush emoji). My eyes popped out, I pushed myself from him and let him see the dream board. I sat on the bed watching him reading the board with smiles. "Husband?! How long have you been stalking me?" "For four years." I crossed my leg. He read the description, "Good in basketball, Excellent in studies, loves his mother, Loves to read books and act, hardworking, caring and kind, pink elbows, petite body with thick bum and thighs, controls his temper, seducing voice, Korean, cute, pale skin with perfect face, gets scared quickly and Love fashion. That is me." I slowly came to him and said, "BOO!" He shuddered. I ran downstairs. He followed me.

I stopped in front of my mother-in-law. I think I spend talking with my mother-in-law a lot than with Dongmin. He was playing with my cousin sister's son. And all night I was doing my work.

Today was my wedding day. Dongmin got his suit tailored by a famous designer and I got my dress tailored by my friends. He wore a navy blue suit with chains attached to his buttons and flower brooch on his right pocket and exposing his collar bone a little. The suit was detailed with designs and even had our names printed on it. I had my dress in white that gave out a bossy look rather than a glimmering dress. Dongmin whispered, "I thought you would be wearing a ball gown but you showed up in your armor." I nudged him. I was nervous when I held his hand for the first time. It was warm, huge than my hand. I held his hand tight, I did not want to let go. We went down the flower arch that we had arranged to the stage and sat down. There was a lot of flashes and many were eating my husband from their eyes. "What are you whispering?" Dongmin leaned over and asked. "No I am praying that my husband will not get any evil eye." He smiled and put his hand around my waist and pulled me in closer. "Stop it! Everyone are watching." And I pulled away.
