Chapter 174 - Reconcile [2]

"How do you think I should have reacted to that? You looked as if I was your enemy. It would be too awkward if I said anything, and I needed money.

What if you have fired from that job if I managed to annoy you? You do know that I am not rich currently, and the job at the flower shop was precious to me."

Oh Sookyung let out a sigh and spoke out, "I am sorry. This is all of my fault. But let's not waste more of our time fighting, alright? Since both of us were able to be together after all this long time it separation, we should treasure our time together. 

Let's not do anything we will be regretting in the future. Okay? I want to stay by your side all the time from now on. You agree with me on that, right?"

Moon Jiwoo stared at the male beside her, and smiling at him, she nodded her head.

She wanted to act petty and hold a grudge against him in the beginning, but hearing his words made her decide against it. Both of them had been away from each other too long.

She missed both of them together tremendously, and she did not want to waste a second anymore. Since she did not know what would be happening tomorrow, she wanted to make most of today and be with him.

Holding grudge and anger against him will be making her upset eventually, and she did not want to regret in the end for not being able to spend enough time with him.

"You are such a smooth talker. I wanted to be angry with you longer, but all those emotions already dissipated," she stated.

Oh Sookyung let out a chuckle and commented, "This is how I have to be in order to make up for both of us. You don't even know how to say any sweet words and lack when it comes to EQ. That's why, I have to put in extra effort."

Moon Jiwoo scoffed and vocalised, "Stop making excuses! Those wouldn't be working on me."

Without giving Oh Sookyung a chance to say anything in return, Moon Jiwoo extended her hands towards the male and pulled him into a hug. One of the things she missed terribly about the male was his embrace.

An embrace from him was enough to make her feel excited yet comforted at the same time. Such a contact from him was truly addicting, and she did not want to let go of the man again.

Now that he was in her arms, she did not want to lose him again. This time, even she will be fighting to keep him by her side. She will no longer allow him to fight alone.

Both of their hearts started to beat rapidly, and Moon Jiwoo was distinctly able to hear it. Even Sookyung was able to feel it. That brought content to both of them.

Standing there for couple of minutes, none of them showed any signs of wanting to move away from each other. 

Although they were in a public place and attracted a lot of eyes, two of them seemed unaffected by it. They just wanted to be like this without caring for the world for a long time. 

That's when, something hit Moon Jiwoo, and she pulled away from the male. Curiosity was clearly visible in her eyes as she gazed upon the male.

"It almost slipped from my mind. Due to all the commotion, I seemed to have forgotten about it. Since you are here, what about the Underworld? D-did you actually give up your place as the King?" she hesitantly spoke out.

A part of Moon Jiwoo was afraid to hear the answer. Her heart started to beat rapidly while nervousness began to form within her.

Regardless of whether or not it was Oh Sookyung's plan, this was the reason she had left the Underworld for, and thinking about what could have happened back there was starting to make the girl anxious now.

She hoped nothing bad happened at that place.

"There is no need for you to worry about the Underworld. It is absolutely fine. It's just that I am not the king to that place anymore, and I am satisfied with how things turned out to be. I wasn't suitable to be the king in the first place. 

Back then, I just went with the flow and became the king to the Underworld. But after a while, I realized that not just everyone can become a king. I learned that I was incompetent for the position."

Raising one of her eyebrows, she questioned, "Then, who is the king currently?"

"It's Eunmi. As much as absurd it may seem, both of us managed to convince that she would be a better fit for this position than me. Yes, it wasn't easy for me to achieve something like this. But it was her effort that managed to make something like that possible.

Since it was never unheard of in the past, it took longer than I had anticipated to make this happen. I was naive to think that it will be getting solved in a month. In the end, it took up more than a year.

This is why I had to let you go. I was afraid that with all the fight that just happened after this declaration, things will start to get harder for you, and I didn't want you to suffer. 

I also didn't want you to blame yourself for everything. As long as you don't know what happened down there, you will be fine.

What I want to say to you is that you shouldn't feel guilty for all that had happened. I wasn't a good king for the place after all, and Underworld just got someone better for the position who knows to care for the people there. Over all, it is a gain for everyone."

Wearing a smile on her face, Moon Jiwoo voiced out, "Although it was tough and took time, I am happy that things turned out to be this way, and you came back to me. 

If you hadn't, I would have ended up being single with a cat for my entire life. Do you know how miserable that is?"

"I didn't know that you are that loyal to me," he vocalised.

Moon Jiwoo scoffed and stated, "Do you think that I want to be like this on purpose? It's not my fault that I only seem to like only one person in my lifetime until my death. This is so lame I swear! But what can I do? This is how my heart works!"

The male extended his hand towards her and pinched both her cheeks before giggling. He then said, "How can you say such cute words? You are going to make me blush if you keep on being like this."

Moon Jiwoo scoffed and commented, "See, you are teasing me again when I am trying to be honest with you. This is exactly why I don't like you."

Sookyung then expressed, "I apologise for making you upset, Your Majesty. What can I do to make you happy?"

Pretending to think for a moment, Moon Jiwoo smiled at the male brightly and confessing, "Well, since your list of offence is quite big, there are numerous amount of things that you need to do in order to make up to me. In other words, you have to be dedicate your life to me. 

That won't be enough, but since I love you, I decided to give you a discount. So what do you think about it? Of course, you are not allowed to decline."

"Since your Majesty wants me for her entire life, how can I even say no to that? Feel free to have me, and even without me owing to you, I was already yours to begin with. Now, won't you give me a kiss to seal the deal? Or should I do it?"

"Are you trying to take advantage of me?" Jiwoo said.

"You can say it like that. Since I am a shameless one, I try to take advantage of my Majesty at every chance. Don't worry! It wouldn't be anything that you will be hating. I will be sure to make it pleasurable for both of us."

"Is that so?" Moon Jiwoo asked.

The male nodded.

Without wasting a second longer, Moon Jiwoo decided to give into the temptation that grew within her from the moment her eyes landed on his perfectly shaped lips.

Unable to hold it in any longer, she extended her hand to grab on to his tie and pulled the young make closer to her. Without a word more, she placed her lips on top of his and connected them.

Closing her eyes, she started to kiss the male passionately while he returned it with equal fervour.

Both of them were lost in the moment.
