Silent Vows

Part 28

Yn and Jungkook were on their way to the airport. She gazed out the window, lost in thought, while he focused on driving.

Turning to her with a soft chuckle, he asked, “Aren’t you going to ask where we’re headed today?”

She shook her head, meeting his eyes. “Nope. I already know what you’ll say, so there’s no point in trying.”

Laughing, he playfully tapped her nose. “Cute. I just love your reactions—they're too tempting to ignore. Can’t miss the chance, you know.”

Yn chuckled, shaking her head. “You’re impossible.”

He grinned. “Guilty as charged.”

Before long, they arrived at the airport, where his men swiftly took care of their luggage. Hours passed in the air, soaring above the clouds, until they finally touched down in the U.S.

Stepping off the plane, they headed to the lounge. Yn glanced up at Jungkook, who was now on a call.

He met her gaze, amusement dancing in his eyes as he chuckled at her confusion. Ending the call, his attention shifted forward, and Yn instinctively followed his gaze.

Yn's eyes widened, her lips parting in surprise as she saw the couple approaching. She stood frozen for a moment, completely taken aback.

As they drew closer, both she and Jungkook moved toward them, their smiles growing brighter.

“Good afternoon, Mom and Dad!” Jungkook greeted his parents warmly, while Yn stepped forward to embrace Mrs. Jeon in a tight, affectionate hug.

“Welcome home, my love. I missed you so much,” Mrs. Jeon murmured softly.

Yn slowly pulled back, her eyes shimmering with joyful tears. “I missed you even more, Mom. I’m so happy right now…”

Mrs. Jeon smiled, gently wiping away Yn’s tears before turning to Jungkook with a raised eyebrow. “You didn’t tell her you were both coming here?”

Jungkook chuckled, shaking his head.

Mrs. Jeon sighed, exasperated. “This boy! I hope he didn’t trouble you too much. Let’s go home first—then I’ll get his full report from you.”

Yn chuckled and nodded, stepping aside so Jungkook could greet his mother. Meanwhile, she turned to Mr. Jeon, exchanging pleasantries as everyone quickly became immersed in conversation.

After a short drive, they finally arrived home.

“You two go freshen up. I’ve set up the room myself, but if you need anything, just let me know,” Mrs. Jeon said kindly.

Jungkook nodded, and the two of them made their way upstairs.

Once inside their room, they settled in, taking turns showering and changing into fresh clothes. Just as they finished, Jungkook received a call and stepped out for a while.

Yn, now resting on the bed, scrolled through her phone, enjoying a moment of quiet relaxation.

Shortly after, Jungkook returned, having finished his call. Stepping inside, he found Yn fast asleep, her phone resting beside her. A gentle smile played on his lips as he walked toward her.

Noticing how uncomfortably she was lying, he carefully adjusted her position, making sure not to wake her.

He pulled the blanket over her and tenderly brushed his fingers against her cheek before moving to the other side of the bed.

With a quiet sigh, he lay down as well. Exhausted from the long flight, it didn’t take long for him to drift off into a peaceful sleep beside her.
