375 Why was he being childish again? (1/2)

”Baby, promise you. You won't break up with me,” he begged. His voice was hoarse with desperation.

She sighed. What should she do to make him wake up? His behavior was getting troublesome. She did not want his action to be caught by the public. It would not only ruin him as a singer and an idol but also would affect the family's name and company.

”Can we go home first? This place is not suitable to have this kind of conversation,” she suggested slowly.

He looked around and realized where they were. Taking a deep breath, he closed his eyes. He tried to calm down. His racing heart slowed to a normal pace. Then, he opened his eyes back and looked at her. ”Okay.”

He switched the gear and headed the car toward his home. The idea of having another lunch was scrapped off from his mind completely.

She blew out a relieved sigh. Luckily he managed to get back or they might become a hot topic trending in the media social.

They reached the condominium in no time. Instead of letting Jeremy did the honor to open the door for her, Ryn got out of the car once the car stopped at his designed parking lot. She waited for Jeremy and walked together with him to the lift.

”Are you feeling better?” she asked. Her hand wrapped around his waist in a show of support.

He did not reply verbally. Instead, he dropped a kiss on top of her head and sighed.

”Don't think too much. Let's go,” she coaxed. Her voice was soft with love. She knew not to lose her temper when his emotion was in chaos. But she could not help from thinking being with him was tiring. She now needed to watch over his emotion in order not to create unwanted attention from the public. This was the price she had to pay when she decided to accept him back and she could not blame anyone but herself when she felt the pressure on her shoulders.

He tapped the password to unlock the door and entered his house. She followed behind and closed the door. It automatically locked.

”J,” she cried in shock when she was about to turn around after closing the door and he hugged her from behind. She could feel his chin resting on top of her head. She sighed and closed her eyes, resting her body against him. She let him do whatever he wanted.

He did not take too long hugging her without moving. After about five to six minutes, he finally lifted up his head with a sigh. Then, he turned her around so they were facing each other. He leaned down to press his dry lips against her rosy lips.

”I think I'm going crazy,” he murmured against her lips.

”Don't think too much. You're always overthinking,” she replied back with a frown. Her hand reached to rub his cheek gently.

”I feel like you don't love me anymore. I'm scared you don't want me anymore,” he confessed.

She wrapped her arms around his and rested her head against his broad chest, right on top of his heart. His pounding heart was like soothing music for her. ”Are you tired, J?”

”Hmm...”

”You must be exhausted handling the company and the wedding,” she added. It reminded her how much pressure he had to face along with trying to win her heart. No wonder the insecurity regarding their relationship intensified in him. The stress from everything made him overthinking every single thing.

”Why don't you have some rest? I'll check the kitchen and see what I can whip for us,” she pulled herself from him and gave him a slight push toward the living room. He refused to obey. He kept giving her a slightly hurt puppy-eyed look, hoping she would understand that he wanted more hugs to calm his nervousness and worry.

She chuckled and leaned forward to allow him another hug. She leaned her head back and smiled at him. ”Do you want to sit?”

”Hmm...” Without another word, he bent down and scooped her up. Then, he walked to the living room with her in his arms.

He sat on the couch without placing her down first. She giggled and wiggled a bit so they could continue their embrace. He seemed to really need this connection to calm his heart.

And she gave him the time and touch he needed.
