Dreaming of you-Chapter 50: Territorial Hearts

Friday, 4 pm. Jung-hee was standing in front of the mirror getting ready. Just then, Dong-hyeon came into the room. Seeing Jung-hee getting so ready at this time made him curious. Dong-hyeon walked slowly towards Jung-hee. Dong-hyeon leaned against the wall at Jung-hee’s side. He scanned Jung-hee from head to toe with his eyes, frowning.

Seeing Dong-hyeon staring at her in the mirror like this, Jung-hee asked, "What are you looking at?"

"I’m not looking, I’m thinking."

Jung-hee finished getting ready. She went to Dong-hyeon and put her arms around Dong-hyeon’s neck. Jung-hee smiled and said,

"What are you thinking?"

Dong-hyeon held Jung-hee’s waist tightly and pulled her closer to him.

"I’m wondering where my wife is going all dressed up and leaving me this afternoon." 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"What? Are you scared? Thinking that someone else will take me away from you?" Jung-hee giggles, teasing him playfully.

Dong-hyeon smirks, tilting his head slightly. As he gently tucks a strand of Jung-hee’s hair behind her ear, he replies,

"Huh... If anyone even dares to look at you like that, I’ll rip their eyes out on the spot. Taking you away? Not a chance."

His last words come out through clenched teeth, his expression shifting into something darker, more serious. Jung-hee can instantly tell he means every word. To calm him down, she gently strokes his chest, her fingers light and soothing, and says softly,

"Okay, okay... No one needs to get hurt. No one’s taking your Jung-hee anywhere. Now relax. I’m heading over to Yeong-ae’s place—she’s hosting a girls’ night. Su-jin and I will be there."

"Yeong-ae....? Yeong-ae has an older brother, right? Will that boy be with you too?"

"Yeah, maybe. Where will brother Yohan go from home?"

Jung-hee was moving away from Dong-hyeon to get her bag. However, hearing that Yohan would be there, Dong-hyeon grabbed Jung-hee’s hand and pulled her closer. Jung-hee frowned at Dong-hyeon’s sudden pull.

"Didn’t you say it was a girls’ night?"

"Yes, it’s girl’s night. Me, Su-jin, and Yeong-ae will stay together. Only girls. "

"Then why will Yohan stay at that house? Is he a girl?"

"That’s weird! Brother Yohan won’t stay at his house, so who will? Will he leave the house for us now?"

"Okay, then I’ll go too. If Yohan can stay, then I can stay with you too."

Jung-hee gave him a dead look at Dong-hyeon’s words. Seeing Jung-hee looking at her like this, Dong-hyeon got nervous. He stammered,

"Wh... Wha... what...? If Yohan is there.. why can’t I stay?"

Jung-hee didn’t say anything, just kept looking at Dong-hyeon. Dong-hyeon also looked at Jung-hee with a mischievous look. After a while, Jung-hee gave up. She realized that telling Dong-hyeon would be useless. She had to do what he said.

So, with no other choice, Jung-hee moves away from Dong-hyeon. And calls Yeong-ae. After a while, Yeong-ae picks up the call.

" Hello? "

" Yes, can I bring someone with me? "

" Yes, That idiot. "

" Okay. Thank you. We’ll be there in a moment. "

Jung-hee puts down the phone and looks back to see Dong-hyeon taking out a dress from the closet. Dong-hyeon has been listening to everything Jung-hee has said. So whenever he hears the word "we," he prepares to get ready. Seeing Dong-hyeon like this, Jung-hee laughs.

" Be ready in 5 minutes. Otherwise, I’ll leave you."

With that, Jung-hee leaves the room. Dong-hyeon looks at Jung-hee and gives her a big smile.

Jung-hee and Dong-hyeon arrive in front of Yeong-ae’s house on their bikes. When Dong-hyeon stops the bike, Jung-hee gets off the bike. Jung-hee takes off her helmet and gives it to Dong-hyeon.

"You stand here. I’ve been asking someone where the parking lot is."

Jung-hee says this and goes inside the house. Dong-hyeon sits on the bike and looks at the house from the outside. Dong-hyeon is impressed by Yeong-ae’s house.

"Damn..... It’s so huge and beautiful. He owns such a big house at this age! Woahhhh... "

Dong-hyeon sits on the bike and waits for Jung-hee. After a while, Jung-hee brings an employee.

"Give him the bike key. He’ll park it."

"Okay."

Dong-hyeon hands the key to the man. Jung-hee holds Dong-hyeon’s hand and they go inside the house together.

A person was following Dong-hyeon and Jung-hee from a distance. Seeing them go inside together, the person smirks and moves away.

A staff member brings Dong-hyeon and Jung-hee inside the house. Yeong-ae, Su-jin, and Yohan were sitting together talking. Dong-hyeon and Jung-hee go up to them. As Dong-hyeon and Jung-hee walk over to them, Yeong-ae spots them together and flashes Jung-hee a teasing smile.

Yohan notices Dong-hyeon and steps forward, extending his hand with a friendly smile.

"You must be Dong-hyeon! I’m Yohan. Nice to meet you."

Dong-hyeon takes his hand in a firm, almost crushing grip, locking eyes with him.

"Yes, I know you very well. So, No need to introduce yourself. "

The handshake lingers just a second too long. Yohan tries not to react, but the pressure in Dong-hyeon’s grip makes his fingers twitch slightly. As soon as he pulls his hand away, he subtly flexes it behind his back—there’s a faint sting in his palm, but he masks it with a casual smile.

"Okay, you two talk to each other, I’m going to my room with Su-jin and Jung-hee."

Yeong-ae says this and takes Su-jin and Jung-hee from there to her room.

As they leave, the atmosphere between Yohan and Dong-hyeon becomes awkward. They both sit on the couch. The two sit in silence. Dong-hyeon, not knowing what to do, takes out his phone and starts playing.

After a while, Yohan quietly gets up and walks away from Dong-hyeon’s side. Although Dong-hyeon notices, he doesn’t pay it much attention. But a few minutes later, Yohan returns—this time carrying all the gear needed to play a video game.

He holds out a controller toward Dong-hyeon, who glances up at him. Yohan gives a small smile and says,

"This just came out. Wanna play?"

Without giving it much thought, Dong-hyeon takes the controller from Yohan’s hand. The two sit down and begin playing the game together.
