Dating. Dajeong knew well what kind of mood and sensation this seductive emotional play brought.
In love, one becomes paralyzed by desire, reaching a point where one cannot refuse anything, a perilous and sweet game of emotions.
The man in front of her was once again caught up in that dizzying and confusing state.
Let’s experience the thrilling sensation, let’s flutter, let’s throb.
“Shall we, hmm?”
The lips that whispered ticklishly pressed against her cheek like a period. Dajeong’s heart, still pounding, couldn’t calm down, and she ended up giving up.
Everything seemed to be exposed. The fact that she fluttered for him. The sincere hope that his blissful kiss would continue.
“Let’s, hmm?”
Even his coaxing voice was sweet. However, Dajeong’s defense mechanism had not yet crumbled.
“…No, can’t do.”
At the firm rejection, the lips that had been kissing all over suddenly stopped moving. With a certain distance, the end of Jung-hyuk’s eyebrow twisted slightly.
“Why?”
“Um, things like dating! I’m not interested.”
Looking at the gaze that seemed to say, “Are there women like this?”, Dajeong even felt a bit repulsed by herself.
While tightly embracing his neck and not letting go, she stared at his lips with an impatient gaze. Despite her saying she wasn’t interested in dating, her words sounded unreliable.
Jung-hyuk wasn’t greatly disappointed. Dajeong’s habitual inconsistency in speech wasn’t something new or surprising. Still, his energy had diminished a bit.
“I want to tell Yoo Si-woo that I’m his dad.”
It was like this every moment. Not a heavenly realm somewhere unknown but a place reachable by just extending his hand. He wanted to say that he was his dad and that he would stay by his side for a long time.
However, he also fully empathized with the mother’s concern that saying this might hurt the child.
“But, Mr. Cha Jung-hyuk…”
“I get it. So I won’t do it.”
Jung-hyuk didn’t plan to rush. If he had acted according to his temperament, he might have done whatever he wanted, but if Yoo Dajeong didn’t allow it, he wouldn’t do anything.
From that perspective, pushing for marriage was also misplaced. Believing that marriage would be possible just because Yoo Si-woo was between them was a delusion.
There were only starting and ending points in the relationship, with all the processes omitted. Forcing anything wouldn’t make it work.
In fact, in this relationship, whether they got married or not wasn’t that important. The idea of using marriage as a means to defend Chairman Park was correct, but more importantly, it was about whether Yoo Dajeong would acknowledge her feelings.
It might take time, but if they could caress each other lovingly, kiss, and share warmth like this, he was willing to quietly wait without pressuring her.
Of course, if they become a couple, they can envision various futures. For example, unexpected plans like having a lovely younger sister for Yoo Si-woo might come about systematically.
Regardless of the outcome, he respects her determined decision. If she doesn’t want to get married, then they won’t. And Jung-hyuk will do what he can.
For now, he was determined to become Yoo Dajeong’s man.
“I won’t say anything until Yoo Dajeong allows it. So, you should also compromise on something. Date.”
“W-where’s the coercion in that?”
Jung-hyuk’s face stiffened again.
“Yoo Dajeong. Why are you so incorrigible?”
Dajeong’s mouth slightly opened in surprise at the surprisingly calm and honest criticism.
“Mr. Cha Jung-hyuk! Did you just say I’m incorrigible?”
“Yeah, I did. Why?”
The two suddenly separated their bodies that had been closely clinging to each other.
It felt like riding a balloon, floating endlessly to an unknown place, then suddenly falling without warning. Dajeong looked astonished and fanned herself.
“H-how unbelievable.”
“Only for me? Fool.”
“Mmm… Fool? Mr. Cha Jung-hyuk, did you just say that to me?”
“Well, with just the two of us here, who else would it be?”
Dajeong bit her lower lip. It was the first time she had received such insulting words.
“Why bother me after having an expensive meal?”
“Bother? Do I look like someone who has nothing to do? This is all for Yoo Si-woo, and why don’t you understand that?”
“For Si-woo?”
“Si-woo is so small and insignificant.”
“He’s small and precious.”
Dajeong calmly corrected.
“Anyway, he’s small.”
So he needs his dad to protect him, but he’s upset because she won’t do it!
The words he really wanted to say were buried in his heart. Dajeong frowned as if she didn’t understand English.
“Mr. Cha Jung-hyuk. What does Si-woo have to do with dating? Using Si-woo as an excuse now? How unfair.”
“Unfair? Did you just call me unfair? You don’t even know!”
Jung-hyuk, who was about to explode, shut his mouth.
‘Uh… if Mom is upset, Si-woo will be upset too. Then Si-woo will be upset, and…’
‘Yeah, that’s why let’s keep it a secret. Promise.’
It was a role he couldn’t break. Once luck returned, he closed his mouth and Dajeong grinned.
“Why Si-woo? What happened at kindergarten?”
