The Bonds Between Us

Chapter 12

It became hotter as his arms wrapped around her body tighter.

And before they ran out of breath, she broke the kiss. His eyes pierced into hers as she looked at him with her hot face. Gently, his fingers caressed her pink cheeks with a smile, delighted with the fact that she finally accepted him.

To her, she didn't have a reason not to accept him. He was her husband after all. Despite being a hard working man who always put his work first, he had never done anything to hurt her.

"It's not a bad idea to leave Daehan there for a night. I'll ask Eomma to do so often." He said smirking and earned a slap from her.

Chuckling, he gently pushed her down on the couch and placed his knee beside her leg. She gasped as he crushed his lips on hers and his fingers ran into her hair supporting her head.

She groaned lowly between the kiss as he dragged his nose to her ear and trailed down to her neck. His naughty hand ran along her arm to her shirt and released the top button.

Her hands automatically placed on his shoulders as he sucked the exposed neck above her collar bone. Her breath hitched every time he moved his lips on her skin., butterflies filled her stomach.

In a quick move, he lift her up and headed toward their bedroom. She gulped hard snuggling her face into his neck.

He dropped his nose on her eyelids as soon as their bodies touch the mattress. A moan in her throat emerged and his smile appeared above her lips.

"It's beautiful. Don't hold it back." He whispered staring down into her eyes after she opened them to look at him. Her long hair scattered messily on the pillow and her neck as her chest heaved up and down breathlessly.

"How about a baby girl next?" Softly, he asked before dropping his lips on hers and took the rest buttons of her shirt off which caused her to whimper nervously.

Not only l**t they have experienced that night but also the sweetness of the love they were sharing.

Hyerin's POV

The next day was better because Daehan was coming back home. He was so excited to come back as he called early in the morning to tell us that he woke up and prepared for school.

"Rin, try to avoid that guy if he tries to approach you again." Jungkook said walking toward me with a tie in his hand.

"Waeyo?" I asked taking the tie from his hand and wrapped it around his neck.

"Guys are always dangerous and it makes me jealous." He simply stated and I shrugged didn't believe him.

"Being jealous is different from being careful. You're being careful, aren't you?" I raised my eyebrow as he wrapped his arms around my waist pulling me closer.

"Both?"

"Just tell me honestly if something wrong with him. And how can I ignore him when he just helped me yesterday plus he hasn't done anything to me yet." I said finishing the tie and looked up to smile at him.

"Somehow he just wants to be friend..." He pecked my lips before I ended my sentence.

"I just don't like you being friendly with guys." His words showed jealousy but his eyes said otherwise.

"I know your work is something dangerous and needed to be secret all the time. But at least tell me honestly when you need me to be careful." I finally decided to break it out. We have never talked about his work nor mine. But I knew he didn't want me to involve and he didn't get himself in my work.

"Just don't get close to him. Let's go." He said letting me go and walked ahead. I looked at his back, sighed out.

***********

Hyerin's heels clicked on the marble floor rapidly as she walked through the halfway to an office with some papers in her hand.

The owner of the room looked up from his paper works when he heard the noise from Hyerin's shoes.

"As expected, Hyerin-ah." He said leaning his back on the chair. She had anger in her eyes. Those beautiful orbs stared into his eyes directly, fearless.

"I clearly rejected this project, still you put me in charge?" She asked trying to calm down as she put the paper on his desk.

"I understand. But...as I look into it more, no one can manage this role better than you. You know your serious and fierce personality plus your commitment in completing your job."

"Hwanmin-ssi...I already stated that I have family to take care and I'm sure Jiwoon can do it better. Why not her?" She tried her best to persuade.

"The project was created by you and you're the one who know it clearly than anyone. By the way, the approval already given and there's no time to change anything. So be prepare and ready, we're leaving in two days." He said smirking at her as she gave him her hatred glare.

Because of a project, she was leaving home to another city to do it in two days and she was going to stay there for three days.

The problem was she had never left her son like that. Guess, she had to overcome it and Jungkook should take that responsibility once.

*********

Meanwhile at the police station, Jungkook dropped his pen and frowned at a message which appeared on his phone's screen.

5 minutes later he got up and headed out of his office. The smell of coffee hit his nose as he entered the reporting room.

"Wah, what is this for?" The boss asked looking at the coffee set on the desk as some deliver men put them there.

"Your soon to be girlfriend sent us all of these. He said to cheer us up to catch the culprit soon." Detective Lee informed trying not to laugh out.

"And this special set is for you, sir." Woohyuk handed Jungkook a cup of coffee and a bag of lunch set.

The boss looked at the bag blankly before sighing.

"I'll have lunch outside so..." Jungkook said walking toward the information desk and put the bag on the counter.

"Have a nice lunch, Minsoo-ssi." The one who got the lunch widened her eyes cluelessly.

"Thank...thank you, sir." She bowed as he walked away. The rest shrugged at each other before cheering happily.

The young chief walked quietly into a restaurant with his casual clothes. The waitress bowed before leading him to a room.

It was filled with dark shade giving people privacy feeling.

"Oh, you're here? Come and sit down." A man got up as he saw Jungkook. The food were already served, ready to be eaten.

"I'm Kim Kunjoo, I'm sure you know me." He said smiling taking Jungkook hand.

"I see and last day I sent your guy back to you." The chief said smiling and Mr. Kim nodded.

"That's what I want to thank you. Did he hurt you anywhere?"

"Nah, he's too good to hurt me. I felt bad for hurting him that day though."

"I feel sorry, too. Here, let's cheer. I hope we can work together after this." Mr. Kim stated smiling and Jungkook smirked sipping his drink. Then they talked while having lunch. Their smiles looked dark and serious, nothing good can expect from those smiling faces.

A guy came in after they finished the lunch. Jungkook nodded at the new man as he bowed at him. He remembered his face which he saw once with his partner in the underground hall.

That man whispered something to Mr. Kim and he nodded as Jungkook looked careless and free.

"I have to go now. Thanks for a nice lunch. And I can't help you anything, the only one thing you should do is to be careful." The chief finished, bowed his head and went out.

*********

After work I decided to ask Junghoon oppa for a ride to their house because Jungkook worked late again.

"Do Jungkook and Daehan know about your leaving for your work yet?" Oppa asked as we were on the way home.

"Not yet. I just know it today. Oppa, can it change to someone else? I already rejected it. But he still put me in charge." I mumbled the last part and Junghoon oppa chuckled.

"I guess you have to persuade him."

"That guy will not change anything."

"Then take this chance to promote yourself."

"Oppa..." I whined and he smiled at me. He said he can't help anything although he's a CEO. It's work indeed.

We arrived home and Daehan happily ran into my arms. Ppalgang approached us with Cheongcheong in his mouth.

"Omma, when will Appa come?" He asked hugging my neck.

"I don't know. Do you want to call Appa?" I asked pecking his cheek.

"Yes. But Appa is busy, right? So I can't call him." Well, as expected he always remembered what we told him about our works. I settled us on the couch as Unnie and Eomeonie came out of the kitchen.

"Oh, you're here. Where is Jungkook?" Eomeonie asked looking around to find her son.

"I guess he's still at work." Unnie stated shaking her head at me as I just shrugged at her.

"Can't help it."

"Aish, that boy." Eomeonie dropped her body on the couch with her mad face. As usual, she always scolded him for choosing work over us.

And finally we had to go home with the family's butler since Jungkook couldn't come home that night.

After shower we were ready to go to bed. Daehan asked me to read him a story.

"And now, he was poor but his brother, Heungbu shared his gold with his brother." I finished the story and put the book down. I could feel Daehan's steady breath. It meant he fell asleep already. Gently, I lift him up from the beanbag and brought him to his bed.

I pecked his cheek and took Chengcheong from his arms to put next to him before turning to Ppalgang who also sleeping soundly in his small home.

"Sleep tight, Ppalgang." I said patting his head and walked out of the room.

Guess, he won't come back tonight and I'll tell him about my work the next day.

*********

In his office, Jungkook had a file in his hand. On the table, the photos were displayed as he tried to compare them to the photo in the folder. He snapped out of his thought as Woohyuk knocked on the door.

"You're still here, boss." He asked sitting down in front of his boss.

"How was it?" Jungkook asked putting the folder down.

"We arrested him in his apartment. You're right, it was a revenge. Choi Hyunhwan used to buy d**g from him but he never got the money back. Moreover, he was kicked out of his work last month because of Choi Hyunhwan." Woohyuk explained and Jungkook nodded.

"Let detective Shin questions him and finish the report before closing it by tomorrow, ne?"

"Yes, sir." The assistant nodded looking at the photos.

"I'll clear it all up. You should go home, boss." He suggested and Jungkook agreed.

"Thanks. See you tomorrow." The boss said standing up and left the room.

Tiredly, Jungkook walked into the apartment. The house was quiet and dark. Guess, his wife and son already asleep.

He got into Daehan's room and pecked his head before going to the main room. He found Hyerin in bed, sleeping soundly.

"Guess, I have to say sorry again." He muttered under his breath before getting into the bathroom to shower.

The day ended slowly. Another day would come again and they will finish it over and over, repeat it and get over it. That was life.
