Sometime earlier that night, a pissed off Jiyong was dragging an anxious Jisoo. The household staff and patrolling security including some from Shadow Winds gave the two of them a wide berth due to Jiyong's frightening aura. He looked like he was ready to mutilate someone with his bare hands. They didn't want to be the poor unlucky fools who got in his way and triggered the explosion of his anger by accident.
Jisoo was trying to make him slow down but he wouldn't listen. "Ni—Jiyong, I said stop! You're hurting me!"
He immediately stopped and examined her wrist which was now red from his tight hold. His scowl turned uglier. He rubbed her red skin, trying to soothe it. "I didn't mean it. Does it still hurt?"
Her expression softened. "A little bit but I'll be fine."
"Hm." He continued rubbing her wrist.
He wasn't exactly gentle but this was as gentle as Jisoo could expect from someone like him. She already felt happy inside. However, she was a little worried about the situation they left back at the lounge area.
"I think we should return to apologize to Grandpa," she suggested. "It's not good to upset him. He's already at that age and our elder."
Jiyong snorted. "The old man will be fine."
"But—"
"Jisoo."
"Y-yes?"
His dark gaze pierced straight through her. "Don't let the old man introduce another man to you."
She was about to reassure him that it wouldn't happen but stopped herself before she could do so. The delay in her reply made him scowl again.
"Jisoo," he growled.
She pouted and felt unhappy with his reaction. Although she liked his jealousy and possessiveness sometimes because it meant that he at least had feelings for her even if he didn't love her yet, she had reservations about him trying to control her own decisions. She wasn't the most assertive or confident person in the world but at least she liked making her own decisions and working on the future that she envisioned for herself.
Jisoo loved him, wanted to marry him, give birth to his children, and build a happy family with him together in the future, but that didn't mean that she liked him micromanaging her entire life, especially since he hadn't fallen in love with her yet.
"Grandpa said that he would only introduce other men to me if my relationship with you doesn't work out in the end. He didn't say that he's going to introduce one to me now. Do you think that I'm a fickle woman who'll entertain another man while I'm with you? I know that it's difficult for you to trust people given your...uh, situation, but please trust me a little more. I love you so much. As long as we're together, I'll remain true to you."
Jiyong didn't reply but his scowl disappeared replaced by an unreadable expression.
"Also, I think that Grandpa has a point. Although I wish that you'll love me too and marry me, there's still a possibility that it won't work out between us. It only makes sense for us to find other lovers especially for me who's looking for a husband to marry and build a happy family together. Grandpa is already being kind to offer to introduce me to other men when he's your grandfather and should be taking your side in case that we break up again. I'm sure that whoever he introduces to me will be a good man—"
She gasped when Jiyong grabbed her, almost lifting her up while his angry face loomed over her shocked face.
"Say that again! You'd accept the old man's offer?!"
Her eyes watered but anger also burst out of her. "Yes, I would! What's wrong with that?!"
He didn't say anything else. He just lifted her up and started marching towards his bedroom. She yelped and wrapped her arms around his wide shoulders to keep her balance.
