Roomies with Benefits

PART 26

"So, Jeon Jungkook. Can you explain what all this means?" Jungkook straightened up as Jaejoong's voice started to sound intimidating after Jisoo and her mother left the room—as Jaejoong requested— Jungkook clearly understood that he wasn't dealing with Kim Jaejoong, one of his business colleagues, but Kim Jaejoong, his future father-in-law.

The weekend is here, and as promised to Jisoo, they will go to Jisoo's parents' house to ask for their blessing. To get married. He have come well prepared, though this was completely different from the preparation of the material when he presented his work.

He looked as neat as possible in a casual black polo shirt and trousers.

Meanwhile, Jisoo had been holding back nervousness to death, moreover, her parents were surprised when they saw Jisoo come with a man, who was none other than her father's business colleague.

"As Jisoo said before, I came here with the intention of asking for permission to propose to your daughter."

"Ask," Jaejoong repeated, still in a shock that hasn't diminished. His gaze was drawn to assess the figure of the dashing young man in front of him who looked so calm and dignified.

"Yes, we have been in a relationship as lovers and decided to take it to the next level," Jungkook explained without hesitation. His tone was still low, without the air of arrogance he used to have.

"I question what your real motive is, Jeon Jungkook. I clearly heard from your own mouth that you are not interested in my daughter. Are you after something?"

Jungkook took a deep breath. He clearly knew a question like this would be asked.

"I must admit I said it without any consideration. Quite rash, because in fact once I got to know your daughter, she was the one who was able to get my attention so far.

"I also admit I've licked my own spit, and Kim Jisoo is the only one I want to be my life partner."

Jaejoong was confused looking at the man in front of him. Knowing Jungkook as a young businessman who excels in his field, he understands how determined and serious he is in speaking. But on the other hand, he couldn't deny the thought that this genius man like Jeon Jungkook could have a certain purpose in every plan.

His soul as a father felt doubtful, because on the one hand he really wanted to protect his daughter, and on the other he could see the girl's love for the man in front of him right now.

"For no particular purpose?"

"Without any particular meaning," Jungkook answered with certainty.

"Of course I've heard a lot about you being a female player. I never cared before, but now you're with my daughter and I certainly can't sit still."

"Rather than female players, it's more correct to say the opposite. I've never felt comfortable with women, and until before I met Jisoo I still thought I'd never be in a serious relationship let alone marriage. I think that's enough to explain a little about my seriousness with your daughter."

"You know I can't entrust my daughter to just anyone. I wouldn't have any doubts about your job. But of course this is a different matter."

Jungkook nodded again in understanding.

"Of course I understand, Mr. Kim. I came here after going through various preparations until I think it's quite mature and rounded."

This time Jaejoong sighed while massaging his forehead. Just this morning Jisoo called him and said she decided not to marry Jeon Dongmin —and Jaejoong accepted the decision — but seeing that Jisoo is now coming with someone he knows, and admits they are a couple, Jaejoong is still quite surprised.
