Chapter 68

[Jiho]

Wearing a simple black dress and pumps, I can feel my fingers trembling and my heart is not dealing with my anxiousness. What if Dad doesn't like me having a boyfriend? What if he doesn't like Jaemin?

I'm hanging my head low while slowly eating my pasta, I can't even look at my dad in the eye. He doesn't look too happy and Jaemin, I don't what the hell is going on in his mind that he decided to meet my dad personally. It's making me feel like we're not going to last long as a couple, heck I didn't even say yes to him!

"Jiho, sweetie, why are staring are your lap?" Dad asked, making me shot my head up. I looked at Jaemin beside me who was calm smiling, how can he smile?!

"D-dad, aren't you mad at us? At me?" I ask, my voice shuddering.

He furrowed his eyebrows, "Why should I? I'm actually happy that you didn't hide it from me."

I looked at Jaemin again, "It was actually my plan, Jiho-ya. Since there was no issue left to face, why not let your dad know what's going on between us? I asked Seojun for your dad's number, then I asked to meet up with him after sending you home earlier."

I heard my dad laugh while I analysed what he said, that's why he took me home despite of us not being done with the invitations! I didn't know Jaemin was this confident into letting my dad know about us, he doesn't like keeping secrets, especially our relationship.

"So it's been a while since you and Jiho knew each other, how come she never talked about you in front of me?" tanong ni Papa kay Jaemin. "I was scared, I didn't know whether you liked the idea of me having someone."

Dad smiled, "Sweetie, you're becoming 17 already. I had my first girlfriend when I was 13, I'm way worse than you are," he explained, "but, I'm impressed that a guy suddenly barged in my office, saying that he likes my daughter. His confidence is intriguing, but once that I saw how he's really into you, then who am I to be a hindrance? It's your life, Jiho-ya, I'm just happy to be a part of it."

Out of happiness, I hugged my dad tightly, which he happily reciprocated, "Thanks Dad."

I didn't know that this was dad's way of doing effort, by supporting me. Even though he was gone for a long time, he's making sure that he has time for me and Seojun.

I thought that I'll be sleeping with a heavy feeling on my heart and on my shoulders, I even thought of drinking sleeping pills, but Jaemin did everything to make me feel okay. Although risky, but he made sure that everything is going to be okay.

"I don't remember you asking me to be your girlfriend though."

Jaemin glanced at me, still walking on the streets of Hongdae. After our dinner with my dad, he let us go on a date. He said he still has errands to do so he can't stay longer. "What do you mean?"

"You only kissed me earlier, but you didn't ask me to be your girlfriend." I tease.

Ever since I became an SMA student, this is the most recent time that I came to Hongdae again. SMA is full of activities that I didn't have the time to go out and stroll around. I didn't even expect that I'll be back here with Jaemin.

"So I'm not your boyfriend yet?" he asked before pulling me to a bench, making me sit beside him,  "I don't know, surprise me."

He pouted, making me smile.

I took the time to look at his outfit: white dress shirt at trousers. His hair is arranged neatly, rather than his usual fringe. In short, he looks so good tonight. Jaemin is undeniably handsome, and I swear I always say that he's handsome. Ever since I was still an outsider, until now that he's here in front of me.

"Your feet is red, should I take you home now?" he asked. I smiled, "Okay."

I noticed that he was looking behind me, making me turn my head, "They're staring at you." I saw a group of men looking at our direction, I returned my gaze to Jaemin, "Let's buy a jacket real quick."

Because of his quick eyes and jealousy, I ended up wearing a jacket his size. Funny but I just let him be, he might end up having a fight with those guys.

"So I guess that you won't be as busy as before? You already gave the invitations to Mr. Kim, right?" he asked, making me silent. Finally, I can go to school without worrying about the preparations. I can start with the make-up school works, and I guess I need help from Renjun too.

"Not really, I still have pending school works to do. I'm busy tomorrow, so you can go get lunch with the others." I say, I don't want him to wait for me.

"Nah, I'll wait for you." he said then opened the car door for me, making me smile slightly before entering the car, he started the car engine and began driving away from the place. The whole trip going to my house was silent, but it was a comfortable silence. I was leaning on the seat while Jaemin was looking at me every now and then.

When we arrived, he decided to stay for a while while I got him a cup of orange juice, "I didn't expect to be like this, that I'll like you to the point that I hate every unfamiliar guy who talks to you. I became possessive as hell, and I'm scared that you won't like that."

I frowned and sat on the sofa across him, "We're not yet a couple, Jaemin." I said, teasing him again.

"You haven't confessed to me yet, too." He chirps, making me blush severely. "I'd still like to hear it from you though," "What?"

"That you like me."

Sighing in the process, I said, "Fine. I like you, Na Jaemin--" But even before I can complete my sentence, I felt Jaemin stepping forward and placing his lips on mine. My hands found its way on his nape as I pull him closer to me. We ended up on the floor while I'm straddling his lap, and when he pulled away, I felt my cheeks heat up as I met his gaze, "Can you be mine now? I can't wait no more."

Dazed, I nod, "I'm yours."

"Nah, I'm your property." he said with a smug tone, making the both of us giggle. He stared at me for a second before kissing me again.
