Then You Came (DaraGon Fanfic)

Chapter 35

Jiyong searched around the house but didn't find Dara. He tried to look for her in the garden but she wasn't there either.

"Her art room." He said, snapping his fingers after remembering he hasn't checked there yet.

Without knocking, he entered the room and saw her there. Her head was rested on her arms that were crossed on top of her art table. Beside her is a sketch pad that has an unfinished image of Jiyong.

It made him smile. He grabbed a chair and carefully placed it near her, making sure not to make any noise.

He stared at her, tucking her loose hair behind her ear. With his thumb, he caressed her cheek.

"I'll never ask for anyone else, but you." He said in a whisper.

He took his coat off and placed it on Dara's shoulders. She crinkled her nose and batted her eyes open but closed it again.

"Are you that sleepy?" Jiyong chuckled.

Dara raised her head abruptly after hearing his voice. She forced her eyes open. "Jiyong?" She asked with her sleepy voice.

"Yes, it's me." He chortled. "It's not yet past 12 so I guess I'm still entitled to My Love?" He grinned.

Still squinting her eyes, trying to open it wide, she smiled and nodded.

He pulled her closer for a hug. "Can you sleep in my room tonight?" Pulling her closer.

"Okay." She agreed without hesitation.

With her worries, it will make her feel better to sleep in his arms.

"You missed me that much?" He pulled from the hug and looked at her sketch that's on the table.

"Yes... It felt like I won't be able to see you again." She was honest.

He caressed her cheek and kissed her forehead. "You've nothing to worry about, Love. I'm yours and only yours." He smiled. "I have something to discuss with you but it can wait until tomorrow... I need to bring my sleepy girlfriend to bed now." He teased.

She clung her arms around his neck and hugged him tight, resting her head on his shoulder. "I love you, Jiyong."

"And I love you, too. I may have been with someone else before... but that's all in the past. You are my NOW and will always be my FOREVER."

"It's like music to my ears." She smiled, taking all her worries away.

He kissed her hair. "It's getting late... Let's both settle on bed and rest. I won't be going to the office tomorrow."

"Why?"

"I'm taking you out on a date."

"What's the occasion?" She pulled her head up and looked at him.

"Should there be a reason for a man to take his girlfriend out on a date?"

Her smile even became wider.

"I was with a different woman early this night... but you know why I had to be there... It made me felt bad that I made your heart worry nevertheless." He held her hand and took it to his lips and kissed it. "I love you... I love everything about you, Dara."

Dara felt overwhelmed by her feelings and the words that Jiyong was saying, it made her eyes water. "You're making me cry." She sniffed.

"Hey, you're crying again." Jiyong chuckled and wiped the tear that escaped her eyes with his thumb.

She started sobbing. "I can't help it... I'm so overjoyed with all this."

"Crybaby." He commented while enclosing her to his arms, resting her head on his chest.
