It is a beautiful morning. The air feels so fresh. The birds were chirping, happy, singing a beautiful song which rang in Ju Min's ears. The warm rays of the morning sun illuminated his face. He opened his eyes and began stroking it gently. He had messy but cute bedhair. Ju Min totally looks like an adorable little boy who has just woken from his sleep. He looks around and realizes that he is not at his apartment. Instead, he finds himself awake in your bed. He is panicking, looking around for your existence, but you are no where to be found.
"Good morning, my Prince charming..." You enter the room and greet him cheerfully.
He is so adorable waking up with messy hair like that. Last night, he fell asleep in your hug all night long. His clingy behaviour makes you see him as a small child. It makes you fond of him even more and want to pamper him. You want to protect the child inside him and grow him up into a decent man.
Jumin dotes on his new nickname from you. Prince Charming is not sure where that is coming from. Which side of him makes you call him so? But he regards the nick name as if he is being praised by you. He smiles shyly and strokes his neck.
"It's time for breakfast, dear." You take his hand and lead him to the dining room. You prepare a simple breakfast of toast and a smoothie.
"I didn't have any wine for you, so I made this healthy but tasty smoothie instead. pour the smoothie into a glass and are going to give it to Ju Min. But he stops you and gives you a sudden back hug.
"Thank you. I never knew that having someone prepare a breakfast for you could really feel exhilarating like this...." He takes the glass from your hand and takes a sip of the smoothie.
"That's why." You need to be grateful to your chef, who prepares your three meals every day. It's not an easy job....." you try to tease Ju Min, who ever told an RFA member that he never knows the faces of people who clean his house or prepare his meals. He never paid them any attention.
"Eeee.... It's totally different. I am feeling so happy because you are a special person to me." Ju Min tries to argue. He is being playful, which is very different from his usual stern behaviour.
"Yes. I know I am special. But still, be more grateful to the people around you... You get it? " You give him a lecture. He turns your face and kisses you on the lip, which surprises you. You protest him, who makes you shocked.
"I am just showing how grateful I am to you..." He makes an excuse for kissing you, which makes you chuckle.
He goes toward his seat, and so do you. The two of you enjoy breakfast together.
"Hyu Ri-ssi." Do you have something you want to do but you haven't accomplished it yet? " Ju Min starts a conversation. He had just gotten a great idea in his mind.
"hmm.... The thing I want but haven't accomplished yet. Let see..." you think about it hard, searching for the answer.
"Ah! I have one... You see, I really like the sky and sea... I always enjoy looking up at the sky and imagining what it would be like to see the world from a higher vantage point.So I've always wanted to go skydiving...And for the sea... I always wonder what is in the deep sea, and I am interested in doing scuba diving." you tell him excitedly. The thought of doing that really intrigues you.
"... That's kind of extreme. So you want to dive into the sky and sea? " Ju Min seems mesmerized by your wish. He never thought that you were into an extreme sport.
"What about you? "What do you wish to do?" you ask him back.
"Well, I don't have any particular wishes, I literally own everything." He is merely stating the truth and being honest. He got what everyone dreams about.
"Cchhh how annoying..." you mutter to yourself. that you asked the wrong question. Fortunately, the rich man didn't hear you.
After finishing your breakfast, the two of you get ready to work. Ju Min called Mr. Kim to bring him his change of clothes. He will also drive the two of you to the CNR building.
Ju Min is being so open about his romantic relationship with you at the office. When the two of you were walking together, he would offer his help to bring the documents for you, which he had never done before. He is always so sweet to open the door for you and put you first in everything. Soon, everyone at the building will recognize you as the woman who was involved in the previous scandal with Ju Min. But people didn't judge this negatively now. Instead, they started to talk nicely about Ju Min. He becomes humble and treats people more kindly. He became more friendly towards his employees. People are noticing his positive transformation.
But sometimes, Ju Min becomes too open in showing his affection. He would not hesitate to hold your hand or hug your waist when he felt uncomfortable watching you talking with another male employee. He tries to assert his dominance over you.He deliberately shows off that you are his woman and makes sure that everyone knows about it. He also leaves some luxurious gifts and a huge bouquet at your desk to express his love. It can be too overwhelming sometimes. He would show up at every place where you were there, to make sure that he always had access to watch over you. He is kind of possessive of his love.
Today is the wrapping day of the current and newest project in your department. Your team is having an evaluation which is led by Ju Min.
"Assistant Kang, our project is finished and our sales are increasing again." We have a balance profit. "Ju Min is talking to Jae Hee seriously." The assistant was fixing her glasses and preparing her note to write down anything that he would order her to do.
"So you can take a week off and have a great holiday." Ju Min finished his sentences.
"Yes...." Jae Hee answered him formally, but didn't grasp the situation yet.
"Yes?! Why all of a sudden? You never gave me a single day off before. A week?? Seriously??? " Jae Hee is being hyped up. She couldn't even remember the last time she enjoyed a holiday since working with Ju Min. She is too excited now, so she can't easily believe his word.
"Woah.... It sounds like I am really a cruel boss..." Ju Min comments playfully. But that was indeed the truth. He had never given his head assistant a holiday before, and Jae Hee was always too busy as a result of him.He realizes it now.
"Waah congratulation Jae Hee, you deserve a great time holiday," you say cheerfully.
"I appreciate this, Mr. Han, but what is the reason for this sudden holiday?" Jae Hee is seeking confirmation.
"Well, I'm going to holiday with Hyu Ri too." Ju Min informs the two women, which surprises you. You didn't know about this at all.
"Do we?" You are confused but also excited. You don't remember ever talking about this before. Ju Min nodded in affirmation. It makes you smile brightly.
"Then are we going to go together with Jae Hee?" Why don't we make it the team's holiday? Oh, why don't we take other members of RFA too? " Imagining having a holiday with everyone makes you more excited.
Jae Hee automatically looks at the CEO's direction. He is glaring at Jae Hee intently.
"Ugh... Well.... Please don't involve me with Mr. Han during the holiday season. I'd better go to hike alone and pull all-nighters watching Zen's drama rather than be a third wheel between the two of you. " Jae Hee refuses your idea. She knows that Ju Min doesn't like it either. He wants to spend the holiday with just the two of you, and Jae Hee is catching his signal.
"Ah... I see.... alright, have a great holiday, Jae Hee..." You didn't plaster her any more because you knew how badly she needed her "me-time."
Ju Min wrapped the day earlier. He is eager to enjoy his holiday with you soon.
When you and Ju Min exit the building, driver Kim is already waiting for you. He informs Ju Min that everything is ready; a flight ticket, passport, and your belongings. The two of you only need to go to the airport and start your journey.
"Where are we heading to?" you ask Ju Min curiously. When he prepared it, where was he going to go and what would you do? You didn't get any idea about this.
"Australia, let's dive into the sky and sea together." Ju Min smiles at you tenderly. " He grants your wish! It is not impossible for him, but you still can't believe it.
The two of you fly to Australia right away. Eight hours and 19 minutes is the time you need on the plane to reach your destination from South Korea. Once you reach Australia, Ju Min takes you to a skyscraper hotel where you have a romantic view from your room. You've had a good night's sleep at the hotel and are getting ready for your next trip tomorrow morning.
On your first holiday, Ju Min takes you to Australia Park. You enter a plane and go to North Wollongong Beach in Sydney. The two of you are going to go sky diving. The two of you need to go one hour south of Sydney CBD, and you'll reach the drop zone of the best skydiving destination in Australia. The waters at North Wollongong Beach are full of whales and dolphins, and witnessing those creatures from a height of 14,000 feet above the ground is a dream come true. Skydive Sydney Wollongong offers both tandem and solo jumps and also offers a landing in the waters along with the beach.
It is the very first time you and Ju Min have done sky diving. You are so nervous but also so excited. Ju Min suggested doing tandem jumps. He is too worried about making you do solo jumps. After the plane reaches the jumping point, the guide will make sure that everything is safe for you and Ju Min to jump. You take a deep breath to get your courage. It kind of feels scary now.
"Are you ready, love?" Ju Min asks for your confirmation. You nod sternly. You run together with Ju Min and jump from the plane.
You can feel the air hitting your face. The pressurized air is ringing in your ear. You can see the beautiful scenery from above. Ju Min caught some dolphins swimming together below. You are so excited to see that. A high sky and a beautiful sea at once. The panorama is too breathtaking. Once you reach a certain range, Ju Min releases the parachute. You can land safely thanks to him. He is so caring.
However, it is now my turn to go scuba diving.Ju Min hires a professional diver to train you and him. The guide gives some tips that are needed during the dive. From this activity, you find that Ju Min is actually really good at swimming. You will find a lot of beautiful sea creatures in the deep sea. Shellfish, coral reefs, turtles, and a ton of fish from its variety. You can't feel more grateful than this. It's going to be an unforgettable, precious memory for you. Ju Min also offers you to enjoy the boat ride, which you accept happily. He never drove alone and actually didn't know how to drive. But he is a fast learner and can master the boat in a blink of time. He takes you to all these beautiful places you never imagined. He wants to show you the most beautiful places in the world. All of them
Today is the last day of your holiday, and Ju Min wants to take you to a romantic dinner. But before that, he takes you to shop for a dress for dinner. He wants to make everything look perfect.
You have a beautiful dress which catches your opinion. A dark red dress with a colour like a rose. You'll love it so much. You are going to try on the dress, but Ju Min stops you. He gives you a soft blue dress, which doesn't suit your taste.
"A princess should dress like one." Ju Min takes the red dress from you and gives the dress that he chose to you.
"I prefer the red one, Ju Min." You try to persuade him so you can take the red dress instead.
"No... The blue one suits you the best. I like you looking like a sweet princess." Ju Min makes his argument, which doesn't sit right with you.
"But I'm not a princess..." you keep pressing him. His obstinacy gets under your skin.Why is he trying to make you wear what you didn't want? And what about being a princess? It's totally not your style.
"Please... I know what's best for you." Ju Min is trying to control your preferences, which makes you feel uncomfortable. You don't like it when he tries to dominate you. You are not a thing that he can control as per his wish.
"No, you don't," you sulk.You put the dress on Ju Min's hand and walked fastly outside. Ju Min is confused. He returns the dress and follows you.
"Hyu Ri-ssi...." He was calling out your name, but you didn't want to stop.
He walks faster and grabs your hand tightly. forcing you to stop and face him. You try to release your hand, but he is too strong. You flinch in pain. You think your hand is swollen by now. Ju Min pushes you to the wall and corners you.
"What's wrong with you?" He asks you seriously. Looking at your eyes with a piercing gaze His hand is still holding you tightly.
"Ju Min... Please... Just let me go." You are struggling to release your hand, and he is aware of it. He let go of you slowly. He leaves a red mark on your hand. You are looking at your hand and stroking it to ease the pain.
"I'm sorry."He is apologizing to you. He tries to take your hand back gently, but you pull your hand right away.
"Stop it. Can you? You make me uncomfortable, "you stare at him intensely. He is being overly possessive right now. He is too demanding and controlling. And you didn't like it? You are a free soul.
"Stop controlling me. Ju Min... How many times do I have to tell you that I am not a thing over which you have complete control...I am a human being. I have my own opinion. I didn't want this kind of controlling relationship... You are angry at him and expressing your irritation.
Your response silences him at once. Is he really trying to control you? He isn't aware of that. This argument reminds him of his mother. She always tried to make him do as she wished, controlling what he wanted, and he hated her for that. But now he's done the same thing to you that she did to him.He feels wrong. Why was he behaving like his mother?
He looks so lost and shocked, and you are aware of that. You were staring at him closely but didn't understand what happened to him. You decide to take his hand gently and turn him to face you.
" Ju Min....What's wrong? " You ask him with a worried face.
"Hyu Ri... I am sorry. I really am.... " He pulls you into his hug. He didn't want to lose you because of his stupidity. He is panicked. He doesn't know what to do.
"Hey.... It's okay alright... Let's take a seat." You take Ju Min to the nearby park and take a drink to comfort him. He looks so lost.
After he calms down, you decide to ask him what is bothering him. Ju Min keeps his mouth shut for a while, but in the end, he starts to talk again.
He tells you about his mother, about how she treats him and what makes him hate her. He will tell you about his anxiety about growing up as a clone of his mother. He hates it so much. He apologizes to you again to make you feel uncomfortable. He wants to make this up.
Mother, you sigh heavily after hearing his side of the story.... You think she is the reason that sparked a monster growing inside him. You take his hand gently and smile at him.
"Ju Min.... You are not your mother; you cannot imitate her, and she cannot imitate you. You only need to have faith in yourself and trust me. We are two different individuals, so try to understand that we have our own preferences. No need to keep plastering each other... And you will be okay... Hmm? " you try to convince him to feel better. He nods his head slowly and smiles at you.
"Can I kiss you?" He asks you fervently. Seeking your permission, He makes you blush.
You nod slowly, and it makes him happy. The two of you share a passionate, long kiss together.
