Chapter 40

They were strolling down the beach, hand in hand. It was already dark. They had their romantic dinner & went to watch a romantic movie.

“You look lovely with your hair loose like that.” Jaejoong murmured, “You should wear it like that more often.” “Do you think so, Jae Oppa?” As Tiffany stared into his eyes, she felt her heart thundering against her chest.

“I do.” He said gently, “The way you dress, the way you laugh & the way you smile, the way you pout your lips, even the way you think about something.” His lips drew a teasing smile, “I bet you have planned to steal my heart.”

“No.” She smiled, “But it’s a very good idea. I will remember all my gestures that made you fall for me.” Her voice trailed off as he leaned closer & she realized suddenly that he was going to kiss her, ‘We are in a public area.’ She thought shyly.

“Oppa.”

“Look, Fany. Tonight is very beautiful.” Jaejoong pointed to the stars which were shining brightly in the sky. He pretended not to hear her warning.

Tiffany smiled, admiring the stars above, “It’s a beautiful night, Oppa.”

“But it’s not as beautiful as you.” He said huskily.

Her smile got wider. She turned her head in a seductive way. She didn’t care anymore. Moreover, she didn’t see anybody passing by, “Really? You aren’t lying to me, are you?”

He shook his head seriously, “No. It came from the bottom of my heart.”

She smiled again prettily, looking back at him.

He groaned, his eyes raking over her face with an intensity that made her heart beat crazily against her chest. His gaze lingered on the softness of her lips.

“You are killing me with your smile, Fany.”

“What?”

“You are killing me softly with your smile.”

“Why?” She decided to .

“Because.” He grabbed her waist with his right arm & put his other arm on her back, caressing her hair, “When I see you smiling, my heart sink deeper.” Then he stared at her lovingly, “I don’t have to climb every mountain to find my love. I don’t have to sail all the oceans to find my better half & I don’t have to cross the fire to find my soul mate because I got you. You are my love, my forever love & you are standing in front of my eyes.”

“Are you serious?”

He took her hand, putting it on his chest, “Can you feel my heartbeat?” Then he put his hand on her chest softly, “I can feel your heartbeat. Two heartbeats have become one beat. I want to share everything in my life with you, Fany. You are the only one that I want, no one else.”

Tiffany smiled between her tears, “Yours word to me are so lovely, Oppa. It’s liked a dream.”

He put his index finger on her lips, “It’s not a dream, sweetheart. It’s real. I love you. I have got you to love & you have got me.” Then he hugged her tightly, “Every time the stars fall from the sky, I wish you feel the same way as I feel inside my heart. I wish you love me too, as I love you.” He smiled dazzlingly, still couldn’t take his eyes off of her, “Please say those three magic words to me?”

Smiling mischievously, Tiffany shook her head in a playful way, “No. It’s not the right time to confess yet. Wait until midnight.”

“What?! What are you trying to do to me?! You are really killing me!” He protested, with a comic look on his face.

She laughed with exhilaration, looking at his pouting face. Then she took his hand, taking him to walk further to the rock. The weather was good for most of that summer & they went more to the beach.

Under the moonlight, Jaejoong glanced at Tiffany’s illuminating figure. He could clearly see the angelic features of her lovely face & he knew Seohyun was correct about at least one thing. If they had a daughter then she would look exactly like that. They might have a little boy too, someday with Tiffany’s lovely eyes. He grinned, holding her shoulder tightly.

Tiffany turned her face, hearing his grin.

“What is it? Why are you grinning like an idiot?!”

Jaejoong’s hand tightened on her arm, “I’m waiting for your answer, sweetheart.”

A smile eased across Tiffany’s lips, “You are so impatient, Kim Jaejoong.”

“Life is short.” He said playfully, “Tell me what’s in your heart?” He looked at her in a pleading look, “Tell me those three magic words. It’s near midnight anyway.”

“Not now.” She looked at him, grinning playfully. She glanced at her michael kors chronograph parker navy leather strap watch, “Another eight minutes.”

He groaned loudly, “Hey Fany, what would you do if you knew you only had one night to live?"

“Don’t make such jokes, Oppa.” She stopped him quickly. Her heart stopped beating, ‘He can’t be serious, could he?’ She wondered. Shivering, she asked him back, “Tell me your answer first. What will you do?”

"I want to spend the night with you." Jaejoong had answered honestly, & straight away, “Silly question.” He murmured, reaching out to hold her again.

Tiffany began to grin. She decided to , testing his patience, “Wait until the moon show itself again. The stars will be our witness. On that time, I will confess everything to you. Anything you want to know about me.”

He groaned, pouting his face comically, “Why is it so hard for you to tell me? Just tell me, Fany. Will you still love me tomorrow?”

She chuckled. The couple looked at each other & smiled. Then Tiffany put her arms around his neck & hugged him, “Why did you ask that stupid question as if you won’t be alive tomorrow? Don’t you ever, ever say that. It’s forbidden.” She knitted her eyebrows & pouted prettily, giving him a harsh warning, “Okay. I will answer all your questions right now, one by one.”

“I love you.” He said quickly, before she started to utter any word. He smiled seductively with his boyish face, “You devil. You won’t let me finish my words.”

Laughing, he caught her in his arms, one hand circling around her waist; the other took her face in his hand & bent his head. Being folded into his arms was the most amazing feeling ever. She leaned forward, meeting him halfway & then responding to the soft pressure of his sensual lips with a rising feeling of love. His lips were sensually provocative as they moved over hers, gently at first & then with a passion that set her on fire.

With a smile curved onto her lips, Tiffany gave herself up to the kiss. It’s a hard & passionate kiss as the kiss deepened further. It made her dizzy, it made her drunk & it made her forget about everything else. She blushed underneath & tried to squirm away from his strong embrace but it wasn’t working. All he did was a few loving & caressing effort & that’s all it took to reply to his passion.

She trembled as the kiss deepened, delighting in the touch of his sensual lips & hands against her body.

After a long, long time, he drew back, just far enough so he could look into her eyes, her hair tenderly, “Now, I’m ready to listen to your answer.”

Before Tiffany opened , a deep thick voice distracted their lovely moment.

“It’s very nice to have a beautiful girl in this romantic night.”

Jaejoong & Tiffany turned their heads instantly & found two men smirking behind them. One was a big tall guy while the other was a skinny man. Instantly, Jaejoong placed Tiffany behind his back as he wanted to protect her with his life. He remained silent, glancing at Tiffany worriedly.

“Oh, we are just walking to have some fresh air. Please excuse us.” Jaejoong said calmly, even though he had a weird feeling something worse would happen. He took Tiffany’s hand & was ready to leave when he heard the first man open his mouth.

“You can’t go so easily, young man.”

Jaejoong stopped & turned his face to look at him, “What do you want? It’s late & we have to go. I’m sorry.” “You can go but the girl stays.”

Tiffany’s eyes widened. She felt as if a great lump was stuck in . She couldn’t find her voice. She held Jaejoong’s hand tightly. She could feel Jaejoong’s hand balling up into a fist as he held in his anger silently. She pressed her hand in his, trying to calm him down.

“I beg your pardon?” Jaejoong said in a deep voice. From the corner of his eyes, he looked at Tiffany with worries.

“You heard what I said. You can go but let me have your lovely girl tonight.” Then the two men laughed loudly, “We will give her an unforgettable night for sure.” The tall guy gave Tiffany a wink.

“Look.” Jaejoong said, sighing deeply. He squared his shoulders & looked at the big tall man, “I don’t want to look for any trouble. Is it money that you want? I will give it all to you & we can go peacefully. I won’t report you to the police & I will think that this night has never happened.” Jaejoong said, through clenched teeth. Tiffany made sounds of protests for not giving up to those scoundrels but Jaejoong ignored her.

The skinny man whistled, “A type of rich man. Okay, give me all of your money.” He responded, reaching out his hand.

Jaejoong drew his wallet, took his driver license & bank cards & then gave it to that skinny man.

The big tall man took it & checked the money ins
