Seoha’s POV

Taerin bursts out laughing at my stutter and my cheeks turn red immediately.

"I’m sorry!" I slap both hands to my face, feeling the heat of my embarrassment under my palms.

"Seoha" Taesan groans.

"I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to stutter" I whine. Feeling my embarrassment grows bigger as his older sister comes over to us.

The nice noona hugs me and lets me hide my face in her shoulder.

"Why are you apologizing?" she asks with laughter, rubbing my back to calm me.

Oh no, my pheromones are out of control. I’m starting to smell like an exploding bakery!

"Give me back my mate, Rin-ah" Taesan says tiredly, and she turns me around.

"See how red you are, aigoo, you pretty thing" she tsks, making my cheeks turn even redder. Taesan tries to take me away from her, but she doesn’t let him.

"Wash the dishes, I need to spend time with him" Taerin announces and I look at Taesan with silent terror in my eyes.

I don’t want her to take me!

I don’t know if she hates me. "Come on" she says and it’s impossible to complain when Taesan is sulking too.

She takes me up to a room and makes me sit on the chair in front of the bed.

"Yuki, that coward already ran away" she says, and before I can ask any question, she huffs.

"How are you? you don’t feel faint do you? I have never seen anyone blush this hard" she gestures to my face, and I only relax when I realize she’s not trying to mock me.

"I’m okay...I was just caught unawares by the request" I say shyly and she sits on the bed, looking at me with softness in her eyes.

"That guy has never asked you on a date, has he?" she asks and I nod slowly.

"I’ve never been asked on a date before" my words are quiet, and her icy exterior shows even more softness.

She has foxy eyes like her brother, but with her face like this, her cheeks and teeth look bunny-like.

"Then we must change that. You’ll do everything you’ve never done before, I know Taesan will make sure you enjoy them"

I nod solemnly at her words.

"Your date is by six, but I can help you get ready now" she gets up from the bed and put her hands on her waist.

Get ready? How does she mean?

"Hmm...I think you’ll look good in it" she says under her breath, going to her wardrobe and pulling a black dress.

"What do you think?" she asks as she turns it around and my jaw drops at how beautiful it is.

"I bought this a while back, but I have no love interest, and I don’t have time to dress up" she lifts it to show me it’s details.

It’s an off-shoulder dress that would stop midthigh for me. And even better, it’s cinched at the waist.

"Noona..." I shake my head.

It’s too high fashion and too beautiful for me.

"Noona...I can’t wear this, it’s too pretty, what if I ruin it?" I ask with my eyes wide open and my fingers twitching to touch it.

"Nonsense. You’re prettier than any piece of fabrics and you have the body that would show off its best parts" she says.

She walks back to bed and motions for me to get up.

I stand up and almost fall back again; I’m too stunned by how it looks this closely. The Black sequins reflect the soft light in the room.

"Look at those shoulders, and your neck, I have never seen anyone prettier" she coos at me.

She thinks I’m pretty enough to wear a dress like this? This is a dress that only super models should wear!

"But-"

"Don’t argue with me, Seoha-ya. Taesan told me you love fashion but only wear what society thinks is acceptable" she puts the dress down to look at me sternly.

"I want to be acceptable..." I say in a timid tone and she shakes her head.

"You don’t have to do that" she says, pressing her lips into a small smile.

"I’ve spent my life unwanted...I...sometimes I feel like there’s something I have to do to be acceptable"

"Seoha" she calls my name seriously, brows drawing together into an expression of concern.

"Y-yes?"

"Are you doing anything right now just to please Taesan?" she asks and I tilt my head, not understanding her.

"I’m sorry, I don’t understand, noona" I say and she breathes out through her nose, "are you forcing yourself to do anything so Taesan can accept you?" she asks.

"No, I’m not"

My answer seems to calm her because her shoulder drops.

"That’s a relief" she murmurs, shutting her eyes to cool her temper before opening them again.

"Seoha, if my brother ever makes you do anything you don’t want to, tell me, okay? I will kill him for you" she states.

"Please don’t kill him" I whisper.

"I won’t, he’s my brother. I adore him, but if he ever hurts you, I will make his life hell" she hugs me.

"You can wash up and rest if you want, you have two hours before the date"

"Yes, thank you noona" I bow in gratitude, "can I take the dress with me?"

"We shouldn’t ruin the surprise, should we?" she asks with a smile that looks so much like Taesan’s.

"No" I agree, heart fluttering as I leave the room for the one I share with my mate.

As soon as I open the door, a big body in black covers me, pushing me to the wall.

"What did she do to you, huh?" Taesan asks, pinning me against the wall.

"You smell like dish soap" I giggle and the alpha huffs, dropping his head to sniff my neck.

"Try washing stupid dishes after your mate has been stolen from you" he growls, sighing against my scent gland.

"I never want to be away from you, I hate it" he murmurs and I let out a purr.

Daeshin’s Seoha would have gotten shy about purring three times in less than one hour, but Taesan’s Seoha is proud of himself.

I love being his mate.

"Did she tell you? I want to take you on a date by six" he says softly and I nod.

"I’m excited for it" I whisper.
