Then You Came (DaraGon Fanfic)

Chapter 29

"So?" SeungHyun lightly punched Jiyong's arm.

"What now?"

"Stop acting innocent bro... Have you already told her the magic word?"

Jiyong smiled at him meaningfully.

"Good job bro... That's the best decision you've made in years." SeungHyun gave him a thumbs up. "No more Kiko?"

He shook his head. "Just Dara."

"And you're now completely sure about this?"

"I'm super sure."

"I'm happy for you bro."

"Thanks."

"Let's go back inside so Bom can see this." Tapping the canvas that Jiyong was holding.

"She will surely like this... It will suit her shop perfectly." Jiyong said proudly.

SeungHyun chuckled. " How sweet of you to fully support your girlfriend's talent."

He shrugged. "Girlfriend or not, she's really good. You'll see what I mean." He gave SeungHyun another tap on his arm before getting in.

"This looks lovely, Dara... I'll make sure to put this up on my shop's wall... It will definitely fit in there." Bom hugged Dara and went back to adoring the painting in front of her.

"I told you you'll love it." Jiyong said proudly, walking towards Dara and sliding his hand on her waist.

The painting looks very elegant. The background was kept white while a woman wearing a flamboyant black gown was looking at her shoulder, back facing the onlooker. The long trail of the gown is as if being blown by air.

"Beautiful," was SeungHyun's short but meaningful comment.

"I think your praises are a little too much... I'm still a beginner." Dara reacted.

Jiyong patted her head. "You're good at it... I don't think it's a work of a beginner. Don't you guys agree?"

"I agree... This is something that can catch anyone's attention. You're really good Dara." Bom told her.

Dara smiled and bowed her head. "Thank you... I'm overwhelmed."

Jiyong pulled her closer and kissed her hair.

They enjoyed the night and didn't notice the time. Jiyong and Dara got home late after declining SeungHyun's offer for them to stay for the night. Dara explained she still have to take care of the kids since they still have school in the morning.

***********

The next morning, they were back to their usual routine: Jiyong prepared to go to the office while Dara made sure the kids are set for school.

"Sorry I can't bring the kids to school. I have to be in the office early today... I received a call from my secretary about an urgent matter in the office." Jiyong said, not even sitting down to take his breakfast.

"Have your breakfast, at least." Dara said.

"I'll just eat in the office... I need to go." Jiyong kissed her forehead and did the same to the twins.

"Take care."

Jiyong was about to leave the dining room when he turned back to where Dara was and gave her a peck on her lips.

"Let me have that as my breakfast." He smiled widely and left.

Dara's lips formed a smile which remained plastered on her face while taking care of the kids.
