Then You Came (DaraGon Fanfic)

Chapter 37

"Why can't we fly with you to Japan? It's just less than 2 hours flight... The kids will be back in time for school." Jiyong asked while he was behind Dara, walking down the stairs.

"You know why, Jiyong." She replied without looking behind her.

"Media? Again?"

"We already talked about it."

They've reached the end of the stairs and Jiyong stopped her from walking by holding her by her shoulder and made her face him.

"I told you I'm willing to let people know."

"But I want a quiet life with you, Jiyong."

"Don't you want us to be with you?"

"Of course I want to... But..."

"Then let us be with you there even just for two days... Lily and Anne will be there... We'll keep a low profile. I promise we'll do as much as we can to avoid media."

She sighed. She wanted to still say NO but she was overpowered by her wanting to be with them. "Fine... But the kids should be back before class resumes the following week." She surrendered.

A big smile on Jiyong's face surfaced. He thrusted his elbow and said, "Yes!" to rejoice.

"There's accommodation provided for us, Jiyong."

They got to the hotel where Jiyong and the kids will be staying.

"I know... You've already told me that before we left... But stay here first until we go back home. The kids would like to be with you."

The kids were outside, checking on their room together with their Nannies while they where on the next room where Jiyong will be staying.

Dara crinkled her nose.

"Don't tell me you're going to say NO to that as well?" Jiyong pouted.

She walked towards him who's seated on the bed and sat on his lap. "I didn't say anything Mr. Kwon. You're so fast to assume I won't be staying here." She pinched his nose. "Of course I'm staying here. I'm not gonna be with the three of you for a while." Wrapping her arms around his neck, she rested her head on his shoulder.

"Dara..."

"Hmm?"

"I love you." He said in a serious tone.

She lifted her head from his shoulder and chuckled. "Why be serious all of a sudden?"

"I know you're still worried about my feelings for Kiko... I felt that when I went out to meet her... But I want you to know that whatever it was that I have gone through... that feeling of wanting her back... her name in here..." He touched his chest where his heart is. "...they're all gone now... I love you and nothing can change that feeling now. My system... everything in me just yells your name and only your name."

"Honestly... I got scared that once you see her, you'll remember that feeling you have for her... I told myself, I know where I stand... and I know there's a chance you might go back saying you've realized it's still her."

"How can I take away that fear?" He caressed her cheek.

She smiled. "Allowing me to stay with you and the kids would be enough... I love you, Jiyong. And whatever happens, that wouldn't change."

With both hands, he cupped her cheeks and gave her a peck on her lips. "I love you." He smiled back. "Sandara Kwon... Sounds perfect, right?" He wiggled his eyebrows.
