Chapter 55: Spending more time with Yura's parents
Yura and I decided it was the perfect evening for a family outing. Min-Seo suggested we all go to the movies, and I eagerly agreed, hoping for some light-hearted fun to balance out the recent teasing. Plus, the idea of spending more time with Yura's parents in a relaxed setting sounded perfect.
"Jiyeon, you better get ready. We're leaving in thirty minutes," Yura called out from the living room, her voice carrying a hint of excitement.
I hurriedly finished dressing, opting for something casual yet presentable—a soft, oversized sweater and a pair of jeans. As I walked out of our room, I caught a whiff of vanilla, my own pheromones subtly wafting through the air. It was a comforting scent, one that seemed to calm Yura whenever she was around.
"Ready, love?" Yura asked, her cold CEO demeanor melting away as she looked at me with those warm, affectionate eyes that only I got to see.
"Always, darling," I replied, smiling back at her. We joined Min-Seo and Min-Jun downstairs, and soon enough, we were all piled into the car, heading towards the cinema.
The ride was filled with light-hearted chatter and laughter. Min-Jun shared stories from his latest business trip, Min-Seo reminisced about their recent garden club adventures, and Yura and I exchanged playful banter. It felt like a perfect evening already.
At the cinema, we chose a romantic comedy that promised plenty of laughs. As we settled into our seats, the lights dimmed, and the movie began. The first half of the film was delightful, filled with witty dialogues and hilarious situations. I glanced at Yura, who was laughing more freely than I'd seen in a while, her hand tightly clasped in mine.
During a particularly funny scene, I felt a tap on my shoulder. Turning around, I saw an unfamiliar woman, an Omega by the scent of her pheromones. She had a mischievous smile on her face as she leaned closer.
"Excuse me, but I couldn't help but notice you," she said, her voice soft and sweet. "I'm Maia. Are you here alone?"
Before I could respond, Yura's grip on my hand tightened, and I felt a wave of possessiveness rolling off her. "She's not alone," Yura said, her voice icy. "I'm her wife."
Maia's eyes widened in surprise, and she took a step back, her confidence faltering. "Oh, I didn't realize. I'm sorry."
I could barely stifle my laughter. The situation was so absurd, and Yura's jealousy was both endearing and hilarious. "It's okay," I said, trying to ease the tension. "Enjoy the movie."
Maia mumbled an apology and quickly found her seat again. As soon as she was out of earshot, I turned to Yura, who was still glaring in Maia's direction. "Yura, my love, you're adorable when you're jealous."
Yura huffed, her cheeks slightly flushed. "I just don't like others trying to hit on my Alpha," she muttered, crossing her arms.
Min-Seo, who had witnessed the entire exchange, burst into laughter. "Oh, Yura, you really are something else. Jiyeon, you have nothing to worry about with her around."
Min-Jun chuckled as well, giving me a knowing look. "Passionate as always, our Yura."
The rest of the movie continued without any more interruptions, but Yura's arm remained firmly around me, her possessiveness clear. It was both amusing and heartwarming to see how much she cared.
After the movie ended, we all decided to grab some ice cream from a nearby parlor. The evening air was cool, and the streets were bustling with people enjoying their night out. As we walked, Yura's parents continued to tease her about the cinema incident.
"Yura, darling, you nearly scared that poor girl to death," Min-Seo said, her eyes twinkling with amusement.
"Well, she needed to know her place," Yura replied defensively, but there was a playful smile on her lips.
I couldn't help but laugh. "I think it was sweet, Yura. But next time, maybe try not to terrify people too much."
Yura rolled her eyes but squeezed my hand affectionately. "No promises."
At the ice cream parlor, we indulged in various flavors, chatting and laughing as we enjoyed our treats. Min-Jun shared more stories, and Min-Seo made sure everyone was included in the conversation. It was one of those rare, perfect moments where everything felt right in the world.
As we walked back to the car, Yura slipped her arm around my waist, pulling me close. "Did you have a good time?" she asked softly.
"The best," I replied, leaning into her warmth. "Your parents are wonderful, and you... you're amazing."
Yura smiled, her cold CEO facade completely gone. "I'm glad. I love seeing you happy, Jiyeon."
Back home, we all settled in the living room, continuing our conversations from the ice cream parlor. Min-Seo and Min-Jun eventually retired for the night, leaving Yura and me alone.
We sat on the couch, the soft glow of the lamps creating a cozy atmosphere. Yura rested her head on my shoulder, and I gently ran my fingers through her hair. "You know, you didn't have to get so worked up over that Omega," I said, teasing her lightly.
"I can't help it," Yura admitted, her voice soft. "I love you too much to let anyone else get close."
I kissed the top of her head, my heart swelling with affection. "And I love you, Yura. Always."
As we sat there, enjoying the quiet and each other's presence, I felt an overwhelming sense of contentment. The evening had been perfect—full of laughter, love, and a few humorous mishaps that only brought us closer.
"Let's do this more often," I suggested. "Family outings, fun nights. It's good for all of us."
Yura nodded, her eyes closed as she snuggled closer. "I'd like that. A lot."
We eventually made our way to bed, wrapping up the night in the comfort of each other's arms. As I drifted off to sleep, I couldn't help but think about how lucky I was to have Yura and her wonderful family in my life.
