Little Romantic *Second Book*

Chapter 15: His Love

"What did you and EG talk about?" Jihwan asked and he led me around the dancefloor.

"He wants to apologize to you," I said. "With his work these past couple months, he's been really stressed and he was taking it out on you."

Jihwan raised an eyebrow. "Did he really say that?"

"I was just as shocked as you are," I said. "But he really wants to try being better. But he also wants to stay away in fear that you'll just make him angry. And he wants the two of us to be happy together. Are you able to forgive him."

"Yeah I am. Now about that ring I'm going to buy you-"

"You are not proposing anytime soon," I snapped.

"I know, but can I buy you a promise ring, at least? That way you know I'm serious about you and this relationship."

"I know you're serious, Jihwan. I was talking to Lance during our dance. He said us Barnes have only one love throughout our lives. My mom was Dad's. Ethan is Lance's. And you're mine."

Jihwan laughed at my statement. "So what, your family is blessed with finding true love the first time around?"

"Lance thinks so. And I'm starting to believe."

"Then in my past life, I must have saved a country to be able to have you in this life."

"When did you get so cheesy?"

"I've always been this way. And don't act like you don't like it."

"I do love it. It's my favorite side to you."

"What are the other sides you love?"

"I love your assertive mafia boss voice. It's really sexy. You also have a pervert side that's fun sometimes. And then you have your romantic side that is amazing. And lastly your child side that comes out when you don't get your way."

"So you like it when I'm bossing people around?" Jihwan asked, skipping the other three.

"Not bossing people around. But when you're working your voice drops an octave. It's really sexy hearing you like that."

The song had ended and a more upbeat song began playing. Jihwan and I still stayed close and began moving to the cheery beat together.

"Does my Little Detective like being submissive?" Jihwan leaned in and murmured in my ear in that voice I just explained. My knees grew weak and held onto his jacket. I took a deep breath in and got control of myself.

"I don't know about submissive, but I definitely wouldn't mind if that was your sex voice," I said.

Jihwan laughed and leaned away. I still held his jacket and pulled him close as we danced. I wanted to let all the people in the room know this man was mine.

We danced and watched others dance as well. We couldn't help but laugh at Dad as he danced with anyone he could come across as crazy and drunkenly as possibly. Dad saw the two of us and joined us for a song before moving on to his next victim.

We continued dancing until it was time for the cake cutting. Jihwan went off to find a bathroom after Lance and Ethan cut the cake. I waited for Jihwan to come back before eating the cake. The bakery Ethan worked at made it all from scratch, that way I could enjoy it.

After ten minutes of waiting for Jihwan, he still hadn't come back. Everyone had already finished their cake and were back on the dancefloor. So I got up and decided to go looking for him.

As I left the reception room, I saw a group of girls at the end where the bathrooms were. They each wore short dresses, high heels, extensions, and fake tans. I made my way down that way, only to hear them talking.
