Our Glamorous Time( A Vsoo adaptation novel by Ding Mo)

Chapter 57(Heart to Heart)

Jisoo shut her eyes, rejecting his searching gaze.

However, her body language remained loyal to her inner feelings and she was unable to resist indulging in his kiss. Her entire body became soft and weak, and trembling slightly, her love for him silently crept into her heart.

She liked him... so much...

After quite a while, Taehyung let go of her and propped her against the desk.

“Are you angry?” he asked in a soft voice.

Jisoo shook her head.

“I’m just...” She said, “Taehyung, I’ve got a very silly thought.”

Taehyung gazed at her with his dark eyes.

“A man like you...” There was a hint of a sigh in her voice, “Can I really have a complete hold on you? Can I really conquer your heart?” She paused then continued, “Aito is your abandoned brainchild, I understand that. But it is a combination of dedication and hard work of mine and the others. Yet you could get rid of it without much care. If... If one day, you no longer have any feelings for me, you could simply toss me aside without a second thought and by then I wouldn’t even be able to fight back.”

Taehyung did not make a sound and she lifted her head to look at him, “Kim Taehyung, sometimes, you make me feel a little... terrified.”

In Taehyung’s entire lifetime of 26 years, nobody had said these words to him before.

Taehyung, you make me terrified.

And this person was his woman.

When she said those words, her expression was calm and her gaze was clear and touching. She used the gentle and loving gaze she always had when she looked at him, just that within that gaze, there were also traces of wavering helplessness.

Taehyung was set thinking, and within a short while, his mind was already twisted with thoughts. He thought about it calmly. He imagined the worst-case scenario...his actions causing Jisoo’s heart to drift away from his, and ultimately she could leave him.

When this possibility was planted in his heart, his gaze turned cold. The various times that the two had spent together previously flashed through his mind as if there was an internal projector.

She remained loyal to him, when everyone thought that he was a useless soldier, she stood by him with much fervor; her heart ached for him, and could not bear her brother making things difficult for him. Could not bear him bearing too much burden; today, she had moved her belongings into his home on her own... Every bit of her that she had given was extremely precious because it was driven entirely by her genuineness.

But if there was a day that she wanted to take all these feelings back...

A wave of cold loneliness silently made his way into his heart.

Taehyung’s face was still as water when he lifted his hand and tightly wrapped around her waist, pulling her entire being into his embrace. This action was so sudden that Jisoo took in a light breath and looked at him, stunned.

Taehyung did not say anything immediately but extended his other hand and traced the sides of her cheek, slowly grazing it.

“Kim Jisoo.” His eyes were darker and more moving than the night sky outside the window, “You underestimate yourself and overestimate me.”

Jisoo’s words just now were her feelings all along. Previously when they were fighting the battle against SMQ, she already had such feelings and thus avoided Taehyung, refusing to accept him.

Now that she vocalized it, her heart felt a lot more comfortable. Hearing him say such things now, she felt like she understood his intention and her heart softened in an instant. Slowly, her hand extended to wrap around his waist and she did not say anything.

“I am a man before I am a businessman.” He said slowly, “I will also have masculine desires to have such a woman...” He looked at her, “Pretty, smart, gentle, and with a talent and boldness not less than a man’s. For her to never leave me and have such good compatibility.”

These words were said very calmly, making Jisoo’s heart feel a wave of gentle sweetness. She said softly, “I’m not as good as you say...”

“Whether you are or not, I know clearly in my heart,” he answered in a deep voice.

Jisoo hugged his waist tightly, “Okay... I was actually just trying to be humble for a bit. Continue saying...”

“Before I became a commander in the army, I had to undertake a conceptual education, and it was not about the principles of battle but...” His voice seemingly got even deeper, “Loyalty.”

Jisoo’s lips hooked up into a smile in a moment. This man, really... He was different from others even when he was saying sweet nothings to pledge his love.

He made it easy for people to be trapped in the love web he had spun.

Just then, he lowered his head and looked at her, “Kin Jisoo, I’m very clear about what I want. I’m also very clear about what is most valuable to me, during a business war or during a relationship.

“I can ditch Aito without blinking. That is because when money is gone, one can still earn more; when a brand collapses, one can still set up another; giving up certain benefits can give new benefits in return. Layover’s leader or as the director of my army, since my decision would impact hundreds or thousands of people, I need be able to manage such tradeoffs.”

Jisoo’s heart skipped a beat as she listened, yet subconsciously nodded her head.

“But you’re different.” He propped her face up with his hand and said in a low voice, “Someone that I love with all my heart, I will not let go of no matter what.”
