5 months later

5 months has passed since I confessed to Dara, and it has been 5 months since I started courting her. I still remember the moment when I told her that I will court her first before being my girlfriend.

"Let me court you, Darong," I blurted out after breaking our kiss.

Eyes wide open, jaw dropped; shock is written all over her face.

"A-again?" She asked. I chuckled and cupped both of her cheeks and said, "I said, let me court you, Darong," I grinned.

"W-why? I mean, you could just ask me to be your girlfriend," omo, I can't believe this woman! I laughed at her while she's looking at me with a confused face. I looked at her and said,

"Now I'm starting to think that you already liked me long ago," I and she pouted while nodding.

"Look, even if I wanted to do that, I won't. Why? It's because I want to show you my sincerity and for you not to think that our relationship will be just a rebound relationship, and also, I don't wanna get killed by Bom unnie since she always wanted you to be courted by your future partner," I said as I look into her eyes intently. She smiled at me sweetly and giggled.

"So can I court you or not?"

"What happens if I say no?" She teased.

"Well, I'll make you say yes, baby," I leaned closer and pecked on her nose.

 "Chaerin! Chaerin!" I suddenly woke up from daydreaming when I heard my Father calling me. I quickly sat up straight and looked at the people infront of me. My parents, Dara's parents, Bom unnie and Seungri oppa.

"I-I'm sorry. Where was I again?" I asked.

"Well, you said you're gonna tell us something important that's why you called us here," Bom unnie answered while eating some sweet corn, the elders and Seungri just nodded and looked at me.

"O-oh right. S-so I was s-sayi-," before I could finish what I'm saying, Seungri oppa already cut me.

"Why are you so anxious, Chaerin? It's not like you're gonna ask uncle and auntie for Dara's hand even though she's still not your girlfriend," he said while drinking a canned beer.

"Well, I was abo-," and once again my words were cut by bom unnie.

"Yah! What do you mean ask for Dara's hand? She has her own hands can't you see?" Oh my god. I mentally slapped myself after hearing that.

"I didn-" 

"Are you on your own mind Bommie? What I mean is getting permission from your parents to marry Dara, not literally taking her hand away," Seungri explained to Bom unnie while face palming and shooking his head.

"Yah! Can you please let me speak?" I told them and faced my parents and Dara's parents. They all agreed and paid attention to me.

"So, I was saying. Seungri oppa is righ-,"

"NANIIIII?!!!" Bom unnie and Seungri oppa yelled in unison. I stood up, slammed the table and said,

"That's it! One more and both of you will be kicked out from this room," I glared at them, and then, they pretended like nothing has happened. "Please continue, Chaerin," I heard Dara's father talk. I took a seat again and spoke,

"I was saying, oppa is right. She's still not my girlfriend that's why I'm here and I wanna tell you that I will ask her to be mine sooner or later, and after that, a year or two I want to ask for her hand. All of these things are possible to happen if you'll give me your blessings," I answered while looking at them. A minute has passed and none of them has spoken a word, even my annoying brother and bommie are not speaking. I'm starting to feel nervous, not until Dara's mother speaks,

"Well, none of us are against your relationship with Dara, instead we like both of you for each other. So clearly, you can ask Dara to be your girlfriend whenever you want you have our blessings, but about the marriage thing, I think you should talk to your father," she announced, all of them agreed. I looked at my father to ask him about what Dara's mother said.

"You have our blessings to marry Dara," father said, I almost jump in happiness, but hearing the next words prevented me not to do so, "but in one condition," I signalled my father to continue as I listen to him attentively.

"I want you to manage our companies here in LA since your brother is managing the ones in Korea and your sister is still studying. In 3 years, if you manage to make our companies more successful, that's the time you can marry Sandara," he declared while sitting like a boss. Well, he's the boss. But did he
