chapter 7:Mr Kim I want you to protect me

"No ,it was an arranged marriage", Emily answered truthfully, she felt she could trust her.

"Are you okay, is he treating well" hani asked looking worried, although she doesn't know much about arranged marriage she has watched some movies about it and the female protagonist always get mistreated.

"Yes,he is". Emily answered although she felt weird talking about him.

"That's a relief".hani let out a sigh

"Oh ,I have to go my dad just sent someone to pick me up , bye guys chat me when you get home". Naomi said running towards a black car that was waiting for her.

"Ah, it is almost time for the university to close. I have to go bye",hani said standing up from her sit.

Emily waved her goodbye.

I want to call someone ,I will be back . Emily said excusing herself.

As Emily got a less crowded area which a little bit far from the cafe, she was about to call Nicheal but she bumped into someone.

"Ah are you blind", the girl exclaimed.

"Am sorry,I didn't see you". Emily was startled by the girl's rude remark but still apologized .

"What if I fell, do you think saying sorry will solve anything". She snorted angryly.

Do you know how much my bag is, you brat , she shouted rising her hand to slap her. 

Nicheal pov:

 Nicheal was close to the university gate when he got a message from Gina .

"Young master the young mistress friends just left" , Gina sent.

"Where is she now", he replied .

"She said that she wanted to call someone so she just left".

"Hmm where are you and Damian".

"We are at the school mini cafe that is close to the gate".

"Ok am entering the school gate now , so go look for the young mistress".

With that he went offline.

"Brother Damian the young master asked us to look for the young mistress", she said standing up.

"Hmm let go".

Nicheal's car drove into the school with a white Mercedes C300 and another black Mercedes AMG following behind which was normally used by the bodyguards.

Inside the car Nicheal was feeling quite restless worried because Emily was all alone without anybody to protect her.

Finally he saw her surrounded by some girls, they seem to be talking but it didn't look like a friendly conversation.

He got down from the car looking a little bit restless.

Tae-hyun was surprised by his boss behavior.

Nicheal was always a calm person even when something bad happens to him always remain unfazed like it didn't affect him, so seeing him look this restless was a once in a lifetime experience.

But Nicheal really didn't care , he walked as fast as he could to get to Emily .

By the time he got closer to them he heard the a girl calling Emily a brat and raising her hand to slap her, his eye immediately turned bloodshot.

Don't you dare touch her, Nicheal spoke in threatening voice.

Chaline looked surprised seeing Nicheal defending someone . She subconsciously dropped her hand with fear in her eyes, her father had told her that young master Kim was dangerously a dangerous man when he is angry but she never took him seriously but looking him she immediately felt scared and confused why he is defending a stranger.

Youngmasrer Kim why are you defending this brat. She shouted trying to get people attention but not many people were there.

He glared at her for some time trying to remember where he had seen her. he was suddenly realization, this girl was ming Chaline, the daughter of ming jonghoon who his company is currently in cooperation with for a project.

He did not have time to deal with her so decided to give her a stern warning.

"If you ever try to touch her again I will make sure you will not able to use your hands again". He said said walking towards Emily.

"She bumped into me" she pointing at Emily.

And does that give you the right to hit her, he said looking visible irritated.

Chaline wanted to say something but after hearing Nicheal word she immediately kept quiet not wanting to see the bad side of Nicheal.

Are you okay, he asked Emily.

Hmm, can we go home please, she answered in low voice scared that someone will hear her.

Sure, he said carrying her in his arms.

Emily: " ...."

I can walk , Emily said with a red face.

Shh, let me enjoy the moments of our marriage. He said smiling at her.

What does he mean by that, Emily's head was in a turmoil .

In the car.

she did not want to make him angry but she was worried for her bodyguards.

Nicheal, she whispered softly.

Hmm, what do you want to ask me. He answered.

What about Gina and Damian. She asked.

Don't worry a about them , Tae-hyun messaged them so they will be in the other car, he said pointing to a black Mercedes parked not far away from them.

Drive, Nicheal commanded.

"Has junho given any information Tae-hyun". He asked.

"No , not yet sir", Tae-hyun answered.

"Hmm",he sighed closing the partition.

He dragged Emily close to him making her sit on his lap.

Is there anything I should know,he whispered in her ear.

Emily felt confused, she had no idea of what he wants her to tell him, after thinking for a while she finally decided on what to tell him.

"Well I made a nice friend today her name is is hani". She replied nervously although she looked calm on the outside she panicking, she felt so confused, she has read a lot of romance novels and movies but this kind of behavior if supposed to be done by lovers so why is so comfortable be so close to her . Does he like me already , Emily was panicking.

Is that all, Nicheal asked seeing her panicking made him satisfied with his action.

This was his revenge for her asking him about his illness.

"Well Mr Kim I want you to protect me", Emily continued.

After so many years of being told what to do without being asked about her opinion slowly conditioned her to communicate in a similarly direct manner but after staying in the Kim mansion she's slowly realizing that not everyone disregard her opinion so maybe being too straight forward wasn't a good idea.

Please, she added scared that he might find her rude.

Nicheal felt happy that she wanted him to protect her but was slightly irritated when he heard Mr Kim, being called Mr Kim by her was too formal for him even though it isn't a love marriage he still felt uncomfortable.

Mr Kim, he said bluntly with displeasure written all over his face.

Emily looked not quite understanding his expression.

"Am I just Mr Kim to you" Nicheal said .

Emily finally understood and corrected herself.

"Nicheal I want you to protect me please".

"I promise to always protect you and Chris for the rest of my life even if we are far away from each other". He said holding her hand.

Emily felt happy that she found someone who cares for her and Chris.

"Ah yes before I forget, my school is holding a festival two weeks from now and tomorrow is the the audition so I have to practice today". She said excitedly.

"Audition for what", He asked, although he understood what she was saying but he didn't want this conversation to end.

"For the festival it is the art department's responsibility to provide entertainment, so we have different categories like singing, dancing instrumental performance and acting. Me, Naomi and Hani picked dance so we have to perform a dance tomorrow, if we pass we will be qualified to start training". She explained it slowly to making sure he understood everything she said.

"But there is a problem", she said in a low voice.

"What is the problem",he asked worriedly.

"Not everyone can perform on the day of the festival,some people will be eliminated during the audition and training".she answered.

"Don't worry I believe in you", he said trying to lift her spirit.

"Thank you ", she said smiling.

Seeing her smile he felt relieved from everything weighing him down. Her smile was so beautiful and comforting,he felt like hugging but stopped scared that she might feel uncomfortable.

"Mr Kim we have arrived home can I open the door",Tae-hyun said daring not to open the door directly.

"Hmm",he said bluntly.

After getting the response Tae-hyun opened door revealing the two couples inside the car.

Nicheal and Emily got of the car holding hands, when Butler lee saw them he quickly snapped them and sending it to the group chat. Consisting of Nicheal parents and grandparents, they usually discussed about nicheal's health but this is the first time he sent a picture of Nicheal and Emily together.

"Mama", Chris shouted while running towards them with a huge smile on his face.

As he got to where they were, he hugged Emily, Chris was still a child so he was quite short , so Nicheal carried him up bringing him closer to Emily.

"Ahh, you have adjusted quite well Chris", Emily said feeling a sense of joy.

"Yep", Chris exclaimed still smiling.

"Let's go inside", Nicheal interrupted them.

As soon as they entered the house Emily ran to her room in panic, leaving Nicheal and Chris behind,she only has few more hours to learn the dance.

After taking a shower Emily felt refreshed, she quickly changed into comfortable clothes.

She sat down on her bed scrolling through dance choreographies, after some time of searching she chose I am by Ive.

Okay let get started, Emily said to herself full of energy.

She connected the speaker to her phone , increasing the volume to hundred percent.

While Emily was learning peacefully, the music was so loud that everybody on the first floor could hear it.

Nicheal's pov:

After washing up ,he got changed immediately went to his study to handle some company matters.

Inside the study Chris was waiting patiently for him to come.

"Chris what are you doing here", Nicheal asked in shock. He wasn't used to having him and Emily around yet.

"Am waiting for you", Chris answered with a smile.

Nicheal walked towards the chair picking up Chris from the chair, after he sat down he placed Chris on his lap.

As Nicheal and Chris were talking noise from Emily's room was getting louder.

"Where is this music coming from, Nicheal asked Tae-hyun", who was standing at the door of the office.

"From the young mistress's room" Tae-hyun answered.

"Ahh let see what mama is up to, Chris" told Nicheal with a smile on his face.

"Hmm let go", Nicheal agreed.

They arrived at Emily's door, Chris opened slowly trying to avoid making any noise.

They leaned towards the door watching her dancing. Meanwhile Emily was unaware that they were watching her.

As the song ended, Emily was already exhausted she has been practicing for hours she even lost track of time.

"Mama you are an amazing dancer", Chris said running to embrace her

Ahh , Emily was startled to see them.

"How long have you been watching me", Emily asked.
