Chapter 17 - chapter 17: their cute confessions

**At HJ Corporation**

In the bustling halls of HJ Corporation,

Hye-Jin's voice, a gentle command,

"Bring me the files," she asked of He-ra,

Who ventured to the storage room,

Where Guwon's eyes found her,

A smile lighting his face.

"Let me help you, darling," he offered,

"Such weight is not for you to bear."

But He-ra, with a smile, replied,

"Never, I can carry it."

Yet, his insistence was tender,

"Give me," he said, and she relented.

"That's my baby girl," he whispered,

A playful pinch on her cheeks,

Her shy smile, a secret shared,

"People will see us," she murmured.

"Let them see," he declared,

"Our love is private, not hidden."

Blushing, she let him help,

Her eyes fell to his shoes,

And with a graceful kneel,

"Let me tie your shoelaces," she said.

He smiled, a bond unspoken,

As she tied the laces with care.

**In Ji-Hoon's Private Apartment**

"Hey princess," Ji-Hoon called,

Entering his private haven,

Where Jae-I awaited,

"Hii dear," she replied,

A sweet reunion of hearts.

"Shall we shop for new clothes?" he asked,

Lifting her with a kiss on her cheeks,

"Yeah," she blushed,

Set back on her feet,

Hand in hand, they walked to the car.

As they drove, she kissed his cheek,

"You're sweet today, what's the occasion?"

He chuckled, returning the kiss,

"No reason," she said, they both wear a mask and sunglasses with facing cap,even in the night.

At the mall, hand in hand,

"So, what clothes do you want, princess?"

"Let me choose," she said,

And he, ever the gentleman,

"Maybe some cute dresses?" he suggested.

"Why are we alone here?" she asked,

"I booked the place for us," he smiled,

"No fans, no paparazzi, just us."

"Awwwnnn," she blushed,

"You must choose, or I'll surprise you,"

He chuckled, looking through dresses.

"Help me choose," she replied,

"Of course, darling," he said,

Showing her the finest dresses,

"Do any of these look good?"

"Yes, you have good taste," she smiled.

To the fitting room they went,

She tried on the dresses,

Emerging, stunning in each,

"How about all of them?" he asked,

"But they're expensive," she hesitated.

"Nothing is too expensive for a princess,"

He kissed her cheek,

Hand in hand to the cashier,

He paid for all,

In the car, she kissed his lips,

A first, a tender moment.

"Y-you kissed me on the lips,"

Ji-Hoon blushed,

But soon, their lips met again,

Deep, heartfelt kisses,

"That's our first kiss," he smiled,

"I've wanted this for so long."

She blushed, looking away,

"No need to be embarrassed, darling,"

He chuckled, kissing her cheeks,

"Shall we go home and cuddle?"

"Ok," she agreed,

Their hearts entwined.

Ji-Hoon starts up the car,and drives both of them back home. He soon arrives home,picks her up in his arms and carries her inside,and sets her down on the couch,sitting with her as he pulls her onto his lap and cuddles with her*

"You're so cute darling." He said

He gently holds her chin,and kisses her deeply

" Do you want to watch some movies now darling? Or would you like to spend some time cuddling?" He asked

He chuckled softly,holding her in his arms as he gives her kisses all her your face

"Let's watch some movie" she replied

"Sure dear."

He picks up the remote,and goes on Netflix to find something to watch. He put on some rom-com film,and kept cuddling with her in a tight embrace. He gives her soft kisses on her neck every now and then as he watches the movie with her

"You're so beautiful darling,I could just stare at you all day.." he said with a smile

He gives her a soft kiss on the lips,and continues watching the movie with her in his lap,cuddling her tight and kissing her neck softly while doing so

"Stop flirting

You stubborn big baby" she teased him

"And why should I stop flirting, princess? And you're the stubborn one darling,you don't let me take care of you when I want to." He said

He kisses her cheek twice,holding her as he continued watching the movie whilst cuddling her

She smiled and he changed the movie to a normal romance movie

"I chose a better movie then,and this will be fun to watch with you, don't you think darling?"

He gently holds her in his arms,and watches the hot romance movie with her,looking at her every now and then,thinking about how sexy she looked

"Ok" she blushed

They are both trying to hide their feelings

Jae-I fell first but Ji-Hoon fell harder

When did he fall in love with her? When he started reading her fan-fiction

"You have no idea how much of an effect you have on me..." he said

He stares into her eyes deeply,and begins kissing her neck softly whilst cuddling her,keeping his arms around her,pulling her closer

"You're so perfect,I'm glad you're mine,and only mine." He added

He kisses her neck repeatedly,still staring into her eyes deeply with his loving stare

She pinch his cheeks "hey I'm your best friend not your girlfriend" she teased him but also a reminder

" Well...I want you to be my girlfriend,I have for a long time darling. I know that I give you so much without expecting anything in return but I've always wanted you to be more than a friend."

He chuckles softly and kisses her deeply,pulling her chin closer to his

As Ji-Hoon pulled her chin closer to his,he began kissing her deeply for a good while,before he pulled back and looked at her with his love filled eyes

"I've fallen in love with you darling,I've loved you for a long time. Please,be my girlfriend,you beautiful angel.." he plead

He puts one hand on the side of her face, holding her whilst giving her gentle kisses everywhere

She blushed

"So,is that a yes?" He asked

He holds her chin while looking into her eyes sweetly,but also waiting for an answer that'll make his life complete,he really loved her

" Please,my darling. Please be my beautiful,sweet princess that is mine and only mine. It's not a dream,you can make my world so whole with me,so please,let me be your prince darling... Please."

He gives her his biggest,most loving puppy eyes

"Stop giving me those puppy eyes" she chuckled

She bring out a ring behind the couch pillow

She put it in his finger "this is your answer,I've long kept the ring for this moment"

" Darling..." he said

Ji-Hoon began having tears of joy in his eyes,and he pulled her into the biggest tightest hug he's ever given,so much love and happiness was in his heart. He began holding her tightly in his arms and sobbing softly,from happiness obviously. He was finally going to have the girl he loved with all his heart be his,he was ecstatic*

" I love you,darling! I love you so much!" He said

"I love you too ❤️🥰" she hold his finger and looked at the ring

"It's a pair of couple rings" she showed him hers "here is mine also" she also

Ji-Hoom looked at her ring with her,and held both her hands in his*

"We'll be wearing each others rings? "

He softly kissed her hands,and chuckled softly*

"Thank you,my sweet princess. This is truly,the best day of my life!" He said

He pulled her in for a deep kiss,being sweet and soft while kissing her

Damian: Let's keep cuddling darling,it's more comfy.

He laid down on the couch,and gently pulled her down on top of him so that they could both hug nicely. He soon started cuddling her again,but this time,he held her tightly in his arms,kissing her cheek a few times*

"You're my princess now darling,my sweet,my everything...I love you so much..." he whispered
