A Billionaire For Hanni

Chapter 53

---

The evening had ended perfectly, but the emotion Hanni felt inside was so intense that she couldn't believe it had really happened. She had finally confessed her feelings to Minji, and Minji's response wasn't just a smile, but an explosive laugh that seemed to fill the entire room. Minji, that woman of incredible elegance and composure, couldn't contain her joy.

"Finally!" Minji exclaimed, an expression of incredible happiness on her face. "It's taken years to reach this moment, Hanni! And now that you've said it, I feel so good!"

Hanni looked at her, surprised but amused. "But... what does 'finally' mean? You've been waiting for me to say something for years?" she asked, laughing. Her voice had a playful tone, but there was also emotion behind it.

Minji, still laughing, looked her in the eye with a radiant smile. "Oh, not *that* long, but yes, let's say I had a little suspicion you would say something, eventually. My patience has been rewarded, though, eh? And I don't regret it!"

Hanni couldn't stop smiling as her cheeks turned pink with embarrassment. She didn't quite know what to feel. Minji's happiness made her even more nervous, but in an incredibly sweet way. She had never seen Minji like this—so vulnerable, so human. And that laughter that kept echoing through the room made Hanni feel alive, as if all the weight she had been carrying inside had suddenly disappeared.

"You know, I never thought you'd laugh like this," Hanni said, amused by the contrast to the elegant and composed person Minji usually was.

Minji looked at her with a knowing expression. "Yeah, well... sometimes even the most sophisticated people need to explode a little! And who better than you can make me feel like that? After all, this is my dream come true."

After that long and emotional evening, Minji took Hanni's hand and gently led her out. The night sky was starry, and the cold winter air made everything feel even more special. They walked up to the black Rolls-Royce, which gleamed under the streetlights, and Minji opened the door for Hanni with the same grace as always.

"I want to take you home," Minji said, her voice calm, making her seem even more self-assured. "It's late, and I want you to be safe."

Hanni got into the car, and together they drove toward her grandmother's house. During the ride, the atmosphere was still charged with emotions, but there was something serene about the silence between them. Hanni felt like she was floating. She couldn't believe she had finally spoken about her feelings. And that thought made her both happy and scared at the same time.

When they arrived in front of the house, Minji stopped the car and looked at Hanni with a mischievous smile. "I hope you feel more at home now. I... can always come visit you, if you want. It doesn't matter that it's late."

Hanni couldn't believe how sweet Minji was, as if every gesture was made just to make her feel special. She looked her in the eyes, her heart racing, and then leaned in. "Minji, I want to kiss you. I want to do it now, because I can't keep it inside for one more minute."

Minji smiled, and without saying a word, slowly leaned in. The kiss they shared outside Hanni's house was sweet but also filled with that passion they had built up over time. Minji's lips were warm and soft, and Hanni lost herself in that moment, as if the entire world had stopped.

When they broke apart, Minji smiled at her with a sweeter expression than ever. "Now everything's okay," she said in a low voice, with a spark in her eyes. "It's us, Hanni. And nothing will change."

Hanni smiled, her heart filled with a joy she had never felt before. "Thank you, Minji. I didn't expect it to be... this beautiful."

Minji looked at her with a smile that spoke volumes. "Don't worry, darling. It's just the beginning of something wonderful."
