Hei-Ran was surprised to discover that Jin-Hai was indeed in a meeting in his home. She had expected it to be one of his silly pranks, but it wasn't. 

"You look beautiful." He smiled, surprising her with a kiss on her cheek in the presence of his guest/client, leaving her utterly shocked and embarrassed. Jin-Hai chuckled when he saw her red cheeks, which she tried to hide with her hair.

"Jin-Hai, someone is here." She muttered under her breath; she was flushed with mortification.

Leaning closer towards her ear, he revealed a haughty smile, "So I can...kiss you when we're alone?" He teased, making her ears redden even more. Hei-Ran couldn't help but step on his toes, causing him to wince.

"You're not an easy woman, Su Hei-Ran."

"I never said I was." She shot him a mock glare from behind her hair.

"Wait for me at the patio. I'll be with you shortly." He told her while she nodded her head. She gave a quick bow to the client, who had an amused grin on his face as he watched the exchange between them. Jin-Hai smiled as he watched her disappear with hurried feet.

Silly girl. He smiled before returning to his work which he quickly wanted to wrap up now that Hei-Ran was there.

....

Hei-Ran was jaw-slacked when she stepped into the patio she had been directed to. Her eyes expanded to the extreme as she slowly turned around to see the place. It was a medium-sized room shielded by glass on all sides, except the ceiling made of fine wood with a beautiful chandelier hanging from it. Her eyes skimmed around the beautiful and jaw-dropping decoration Jin-Hai had done.

Was this for her? It was so grand!

Though it was daytime and the light from the sun perfectly illuminated the room, he had done something with the LED light that added some elegance to it, and the flower petals scattered all around along with the light candle table took the whole thing to a whole different level. It was almost similar to that night after the auction, but this...this was breathtaking.

How did he do all this?

"Do you like it?" Hei-Ran stiffened when his voice came directly from behind her ears.

"Jin-Hai" She turned around to look at him, her face filled with disbelief and shock.

"This...this is too much." She said while he shook his head.

"Nothing is too much for you. You deserve this and more." Hei-Ran was speechless, her eyes roamed around the room again, and she couldn't hold back the elegant smile that lit her face.

"Thank you." She smiled.

"For what?"

"For this and..." She paused, her ears twitched and burned as she took a step closer and slowly leaned in, "And for you." she added, placing a quick and shy kiss on his lips, leaving him completely startled. Jin-Hai's eyes unblinkingly widened to the fullest as he stared at her in shock.

"Did... did you just..." His words trailed as he couldn't coordinate his thoughts. A loud gasp escaped his lips when she shyly bobbed her head.

Abruptly grabbing her hand, he pulled her close to himself till she was firmly pressed against his chest. His eyes longingly and anxiously stared into hers with hidden excitement, "What does this mean?" He inquired. He knew what it meant, or at least he wanted it to mean what he thought it meant.

This was the first time she was making a move on him while she was sober, of course. That one time when she was drunk couldn't count.

"What does what mean?" Hei-Ran asked back, feigning ignorance. She chuckled amusedly when he cast a mock-glare at her.

"Tell me, Hei-Ran, does this mean...yes?" At this point, his heart had crawled up to his throat and was about to burst out of him. But Hei-Ran thought it fun to mess with him, so she gave him a non-committal shrug.

"Su Hei-Ran." He drawled before inching a bit closer till there was no more space between them. "Tell me something, please. What does this mean?" He pleaded with extreme desperation, which made her turn serious.

Peering at him from under her long lashes, she shrugged and shyly said, "Whatever you want it to be." before bitting her nether lips. Jin-Hai's eyes rapidly fluttered as he tried to grasp his head around the meaning of her words. His brain almost exploded as he glanced at her.

"Are you saying yes to me?" He couldn't believe it, and another confirmation would assure him that he wasn't imagining things for himself. And when he saw her nod her heart at him, that was all he needed.

Without stalling one more second, he leaned in and fiercely claimed her lips taking Hei-Ran by surprise. She was utterly stunned by his abrupt movement, but she quickly composed herself as she responded to his gentle feathery kiss on her lips.

His lips were nothing like she had imagined but everything she had wished for. And the soft caresses of his lips on hers made jellies fill her knees as she could barely hold up. She couldn't believe she was being kissed by the very man she had never wanted anything to do with, but it felt like everything in the world right now.

She sighed when Jin-Hai slowly broke the kiss and gazed at her with deep longing and happy eyes.

"I love you." His hazy voice whispered, making Hei-Ran's heart skip a beat.

"I love you too." She heard herself reply, surprising both herself and Jin-Hai who's face suddenly broke into an ear widening grin. She couldn't believe she had just said that, but it was the truth. It was about time she accepted her feelings for him. She had come to realize how much he meant to him and how badly she wanted to be by his side after her family and the presidency drama, and most especially after her talk with her grandma. Jin-Hai had done something to her these past months, something she couldn't comprehend but she liked.

He trailed his hand down her hair, tucking a tendril behind her ear as his extremely soft gaze stayed on her face, "I'll make you happy." He said to her but more to himself.

Hei-Ran smiled at him and nodded, "I know."
