Jiyong woke up feeling something heavy laying on his right shoulder and across his stomach. He blinked multiple times with furrowed eyebrows. But he realized that he is not alone and that he is now a married man to this beautiful woman next to him and in his arm. He slowly smiled to himself as he lightly tried brushing Dara's hair from her face so that he can see her. He studied her and once again he felt his heart beating for her and still in awe that she is his. This is the first time in a long time that he had a good night's sleep.

Dara suddenly stirred in her sleep when she felt someone next to her she started panicking. She immediately opened her eyes and sat up. She covered her face with her hands and slowly taking a pick as she spread her fingers apart. When she saw a naked but yet very masculine body next to her her eyes widened in disbelief. She strode her eyes from his legs to his...fully erect member she swallowed hard as she started feeling hot. Then her eyes traveled to his lower abdomen and saw how competent he is and she took another hard swallow.

Jiyong was feeling amused seeing all the different reactions she makes upon studying him. "Does she even know that I am awake?" he cheerfully thought to himself.

"Are you just going to keep staring at my hot body or you want something else?" Jiyong playfully asked startling her.

Dara jumped off the bed in a second and she ran to the bathroom slamming the door closed. She can hear Jiyong's heartily laugh and she felt more embarrassed than she already is. "Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh!" she squealed to herself as she tapped her cheeks. "He was awake and he saw me gawking at him," she said out loud to herself. She felt enraged and embarrassed at the same time. "Why oh why this is happening to me?" she continued talking to herself as she keeps pacing back and forth inside the bathroom.

"I-I'm going to go ahead and make breakfast. Just come down when you're ready. I also hope that you will be ready for me later." he flirtatiously added.

Dara heard him clearly and another squeal came out of her and Jiyong chuckled upon hearing her and proceeded down the stairs.

Dara took her time in the bathroom because she's planning to avoid him. So she gradually and quietly proceeded downstairs to the kitchen. She looked around to see if f he was still there but did not find him and so she sat on one of the stools where everything is ready for her. She looked around one more time before digging in to eat. "Hmm...this is so good!" she said out loud. "Who would have thought that the heartless big boss can make good dishes." she once again said out loud.

Little did she know that he is now standing right behind her freshly showered. He slowly leaned towards her right ear and whispered. "I'm beyond grateful that you are enjoying my cooking. But you know that that is not the only thing that I am good at."

Startled Dara almost fell off of the stool sideways as she was trying to avoid him. But Jiyong is quick and was able to catch her. She stiffened a bit but awkwardly regained herself.

"Be careful babe, I don't want to see you getting hurt. I would rather take the fall instead of you." he sincerely said to her as he helped her sit right back up.

Dara absentmindedly fixed her hair and her shirt. She cleared her throat and picked up her fork to stabbed the waffles. She could feel her cheeks flaming hot and she's embarrassed that she can't do anything to stop it when he's around. "W-when did you get here?"

He smirked as he sat next to her and stared at her flushed face which he finds really cute. "Just now." he noticed that she is not looking at him.
"Since it is a Saturday and I am speculating that you do not have work today. Do you have any other plans?"

Dara finally looked at him and said. "I-I was actually planning to roam around the city." what she planned to do was visit orphanages so that she can personally see how they are being run now. She has been secretly visiting them when her schedule is free. From what she can remember when she was little her royal mother used to visit all the orphanages and volunteer to help out. Her mother brought her with her at one time but was never able to come back. Because there was an incident when she almost got kidnapped when she was eight years old. Her royal father decided to keep her inside the palace and was never allowed to go out again. She didn't realize that she was in deep thought until Jiyong tapped her on the shoulder.

"Roam around the city? Haven't you seen enough of the country yet?" Jiyong said but noticed that she was in deep thought. "Dara." no response. He called her out again for the second time as he tapped her right shoulder. "Dara."

Dara snapped out of her deep thought when she felt his hand on his shoulder. "Uhmm...I'm sorry. Did you say anything?" feeling embarrassed as she asked.

Jiyong studied her for a bit wondering what is going on in that head of hers. She indeed has a lot of hidden stories under her sleeves. "I was just saying that haven't you had enough of this country for you to roam around the city."

Dara just gave him a tight lip smile and was about to say something but closed her mouth. Jiyong noticed this and said to her in a most serious voice. "Listen. Didn't you say that we need to build our trust in each other and support each other in any way possible to make this marriage work?" he paused and Dara nodded. "Then don't you think that we should start now?" he paused again. "Now tell me. Is there something bothering you or is there anyone bothering you?" he waited for her response.

Dara finally said. "No. I was just actually planning to visit some friends."

Jiyong once again studied her for this is how he is. He studies people and that is why he is so good at anything he can get his hands on. Having an IQ of 215 is no joke. He is beyond a genius. Nothing and no one can get past him. But with his wife, he is trying to be gentle with her because he knows that it is their first stage of being husband and wife. He can't force her to admit anything to him easily.

"What about you? Do you have plans today?" she asked him.

Jiyong gave her a slight smile with a bit of disappointment and said, "Well...I was hoping that we can go somewhere together but since you already have plans..." he paused.

Dara was stunned as she quickly glimpses the disappointment in his eyes and started feeling bad. Well...it is the second day of their marriage life. "Uhmm...would you like to come with me then?" she hoped and asked.
