The Devil's Sweetheart

''Do you wish to meet my parents, babe?'' Landon asked. His parents are forcing him to marry a random woman of their choice. If he brings Yong-sun and introduces her to his parents, he can put a full stop to the marriage drama.

Landon's sudden question stupefied Yong-sun. Does he want to introduce me to his parents? This means he is serious about their relationship. She likes Landon...but love..Yong-sun is not sure. They have dated only for two weeks, and she doesn't know much about him. Perhaps meeting with their parents would be a good idea to know about him. ''I am okay to meet them.''

''My mom is in London for a fashion show, and dad is on a business trip. I will take you home when they are back.'' He said. His family was not filthy rich, but they were in a good position. His mother is a fashion designer, and his father owns a private business. Everything changed when he started working as an intern in Leius labs. His growth within five years was remarkable, and that's when he fell into the eyes of the Enger, founder of Leius Pharma labs. He knows the shady business inside the labs, but he didnot voice out his thoughts. Earning money and fame was his sole priority.

''Okay.'' Yong-sun nodded. ''Can I ask you a question?''

''Sure.''

''H-ow many girls you dated before?'' Yong-sun questioned skeptically.

The question was sudden, catching him off guard. He dated a couple of women and had flings to satisfy his sexual needs, but how can he tell that in front of his girlfriend. ''It's all in the past, Yong-sun. The day we started dating, I only have you. Aren't you happy about that?''

Yong-sun pursed her lips and nodded. What did she expect? Not all can be Lisa, who is a one-woman man. Jennie is lucky for that. Speaking of the date, a face loomed in her mind. Without her conscience, her face morphed into a smile.

''Why are you laughing?'' Landon asked, studying her face.

''Ah! I just remembered a random joke.'' Yong-sun lied. Not good to think about someone when she has a boyfriend. ''Time to go. I will call you tonight.''

''You are going on a date with me on Sunday. Don't forget.'' Landon indirectly reminded her to text Jennie.

Yong-sun sighed and sent a message to Jennie in front of him. ''Happy?''

''I am leaving.'' Not before Yong-sun left, Landon pulled her into a hug. ''Wear something sexy. We are going to do it.'' He whispered into her ears and left without turning back.

His behavior confounded Yong-sun. ''Why does he take all the decisions by himself? He didnot even ask my permission if I am willing.'' With a frustrated cry, she made her way inside. She is starting to lose her freedom with Landon's tight control over her. ''I shouldn't have sent a message to Jennie.'' She doesn't have the mood to go for rounds. Yong-sun dedicated the task to a junior doctor and lay down on the desk to let the time pass.

...

In a blink of an eye, the day has come. Jennie's House warming party. It was still in the morning, and the first one to arrive was Irene, along with Cutie, when Jennie opened the door. Donned in a floral jumpsuit, Savny was looking as bright as the day star.

''I have to dump these bags into a room,'' Irene said and looked at the trolleys that the attendant was holding.

''Why did you bring so many bags for one day?'' Exclaimed Jennie. ''As if you are going to stay for months,'' Jennie joked. Turning to the guard, Jennie pointed her eyes to a room. The attendant nodded and carried the bags inside.

''nie!'' Cutie jumped on her feet as happy as a flower. She got a summer break, and with no school, she is enjoying her life. Except for eating, sleeping, playing, and sometimes writing letters with the help of Elsie, she had nothing to do.
