From Forced to Something Real

「Yeji's POV」

It was now the day after the kidnapping of Felix by Hugo incident. Hyunjin had told everyone the reason of how Hugo even got hold of Felix, and I felt bad because I felt that it was my fault for sending Hyunjin to go talk to Ryujin instead of myself.

I had decided to finally go see Ryujin and talk things out with her, finally gathering up the courage after an hour of giving myself pep talks. I felt like how I had felt back when I was going to confess to Ryujin, but this time, just a bit more doubtful and jealous.

I checked herself in the mirror for the nth time, readjusting my cap and fixing my dark green and white varsity jacket and tight black miniskirt. I nervously bit her lips before sighing and walking out of my room. Grabbing my keys, wallet, and phone.

Then I made my way out of the Hwang Mansion and went into my car. I quickly drove over to Ryujin's house, I had forgotten to text Ryujin beforehand that I would be coming because I was too busy stressing about seeing her and also because of my forgetful ass.

I finally remembered to text Ryujin when I had arrived at her house, so I sent her a quick text saying, 'I'm at your house right now'. I had the keys to Ryujin's house so I went out of my car and to the front door of Ryujin's house. Then I entered the key and allowed myself in the house, it smelled like Ryujin's figs and woody perfume... And another woman's scent. The air was mixed with the scent of roses and peonies.

My neutral face slowly turned into a frown as I smelled the air and saw another pair of shoes and coat that didn't belong to Ryujin. Just then, the girl who both me and Hyunjin had saw with Ryujin walked into the room where the front door was in and her gaze landed on me. Her eyes widened and she frowned.

"Who are you and how did you get in here?!" The pretty girl with red hair asked, alarmed that someone she didn't know entered the house.

"That should be MY question to you." I said.

"Who are you and what the fuck are you doing with my girlfriend?" I asked darkly and threateningly.

"First of all, Ryujin's your girlfriend?" The girl asked, a tint of amusement in her voice.

"Yes. I am, now who are you to be hanging out with her so often and getting touchy with her?" I asked demandingly, fuming with anger.

If not for Ryujin running into the room, I would've lashed out on the girl. Ryujin's eyes widened at the sight of the two of us, then she ran over to me and wrapped her arms around my waist. Her lips connecting mine as we shared a kiss, my hands slowly found its way to Ryujin's neck as we continued to kiss in front of the girl.

We broke the kiss after a few seconds, then Ryujin hugged me before letting go. She walked over to the other woman and grabbed her wrist gently. Guiding her over to me, the anger in me was still there though. I gave it my all to not throw hands with the girl who was now standing only a few feet in front of me.

"Love, I need you to listen to me. Yesterday, Hyunjin hinted to me if I were cheating on you, and of course, I'm sorry for not telling you, but..." Ryujin took a pause.

My heart pounded, I felt the tears coming already. Was she really going to admit that she was indeed cheating on me with this woman? I knew that I couldn't give it my all in this relationship with Ryujin, but telling me that she had been cheating on me right after kissing me is just... I can't even find the words to describe the wave of emotions that just came over me.

"This girl is my half sister, her name is Shin Yuna and I only recently found out about her. So I got her contact and we started to build a bond as half sisters only. We share the same dad but different moms." Ryujin said.

I was shocked, relieved, and felt many other emotions all at the same time. It felt like a huge burden being lifted off my shoulders.

"Y-your half sisters?!" I asked, still in shock.

Ryujin nodded, then came over to me and hugged my waist. Softly connecting our lips as we shared yet another sweet and passionate kiss. When we pulled away, Ryujin whispered next to my ear.

"I would NEVER cheat on you Yeddeong, never in a million years would I EVER even think about another woman when I have you." She whispered.

I felt my cheeks heating up, Ryujin kissed my forehead before gazing into my eyes lovingly. Sadly though, Yuna cleared her throat loudly.

"Y'all go get a room, I ain't third wheeling here." Yuna said, crossing her arms and giving a playful pout.

Both me and Ryujin laughed, I didn't need to be worried about Ryujin cheating on me, EVER. She promised to love me forever and I know that she would keep that promise forever. I felt happy to finally clear up some misunderstandings. I had talked with Ryujin, apologized even, for leaving her alone that day even when she wanted me to stay. But Ryujin simply said that it was fine and that she understood what the consequences could've been if she had held me back from going home.

「Felix's POV」

I woke up to a Hyunjin covering my face with pecks and butterfly kisses, I giggled at the loving yet ticklish feeling. I had never expected the cold future mafia boss of the infamous Hwang Family to be this loving and cute to me.

Everything between us changed yesterday, when I had realized just how much I had started to depend and trust Hyunjin and saw how much he loved me when he had basically walked into a death trap just to save me. And when we finally confessed out feelings to each other and said the 'love you's, it was as if the chemistry between us had shifted significantly.

Hyunjin who was still covering my face in pecks finally landed his lips on mine, our lips moving against each others' in complete synchronization and perfection. The warm feeling spreading through my chest as our lips found its way to each other's.

We disconnected our lips only because we had ran out of breath. Hyunjin smiling down at me, looking at me with those fond and loving eyes of his. I couldn't resist but giving him the same bright smile and gazed into his eyes with love.

"Alright, I think it's time we get up now. We've been cuddling for the past hour and I've been giving you kisses and pecks for the past 30 minutes. Are you wide awake now?" Hyunjin asked softly while caressing my hair.

"Can't we just stay in bed forever though?" I pouted.

"No sunshine, we've gotta get out of bed. Come on." Hyunjin chuckled.

Sitting upright on the bed and pushing himself off the mattress, then he walked over to me and gently but firmly picked me up. I gasped at the sudden movement, but then started giggling and pressing myself onto Hyunjin's body. His hands were holding up my thighs while I wrapped my arms around his neck. I laid my head into the crook of his neck, inhaling the his scent and finding comfort in it.
