Everything is ready
The kiss was gentle and lingering, effectively smoothing out the tense wrinkles between Kwon Ji-yong's brows. When the kiss ended, he rested his forehead against Su You's and sighed softly, but his breath carried a sense of satisfaction and dependence.
“Don’t worry,” Su You’s voice was tinged with laughter as her fingertips brushed against his slightly warm earlobe. “My parents are both very easygoing people. My dad likes to drink tea and study calligraphy, while my mom loves to tend to flowers and plants and has recently become obsessed with making short videos. They will definitely like the gift you prepared, and most importantly, it’s your thoughtfulness.”
“I have so many things I want to say,” G-Dragon said earnestly, looking at her with eyes like a lake filled with stars. “But I still want to do my best. I asked a friend to find the best tea set and tea, and I’ve also prepared gardening tools and beautiful flower seeds for Auntie, and that new phone you mentioned, so she can take videos… but I still feel like it’s not enough.”
As he spoke, he picked up his tablet again and skillfully brought up a folder, which contained his notes on "Precautions for Meeting Parents" and "Possible Questions and Reference Answers," and even included Chinese pronunciations in Korean and pinyin.
Su You peeked out and almost burst out laughing again. What she saw listed above were:
Question 1: Are you serious about our Xiaoyou?
• Sample Answer (Heartfelt Version): Uncles and Aunties, I am 100% serious. Meeting Su You is the luckiest thing that has ever happened to me, and I hope to spend my whole life loving and caring for her.
Question 2: What are your future plans?
• Suggested Answer (Moderate Version): I will continue my music career while also balancing family life. I'm already planning to reduce unnecessary work and spend more time with my family. We are also considering future living arrangements and will fully respect Su You's opinions and our parents' feelings…
· ……
"You...you even prepared this?" Su You pointed at the tablet, both amused and exasperated. "This is even more detailed than an interview."
“This is more important than any interview,” G-Dragon said seriously, then touched his nose a little embarrassedly. “I’m afraid my Chinese isn’t good enough to express my feelings clearly, or I might misunderstand your questions. It’s always better to prepare in advance than to make a mistake on the spot.”
Seeing his fierce and all-out effort, Su You's heart melted. This man, who shone brightly on stage and commanded respect in the fashion world, was now preparing as earnestly as a student taking a final exam in order to win her parents' approval.
“Silly boy,” she leaned back into his arms, listening to his steady heartbeat, “you don’t need these standard answers. What my parents want to see is the most authentic you, the G-Dragon who loves their daughter and is willing to give his heart to her. They might even find your nervousness cute.”
"Cute?" G-Dragon raised an eyebrow, seemingly dissatisfied with the adjective; he preferred something like "reliable" or "steady."
“Yes, cute.” Su You nodded affirmatively, reaching out to pinch his cheek. “Just like now.”
Kwon Ji-yong caught her mischievous hand, cupped it in his palm, and smiled helplessly: "Okay, cute is cute. As long as your aunt and uncle can entrust you to me with peace of mind, I'll do whatever I want."
In the days that followed, G-Dragon continued to busy himself with learning Chinese and gathering wedding inspiration. He even took time out to contact his connections in China with Su You and booked a high-end restaurant known for its ambiance and privacy as the location for their first meeting, ensuring that every detail was perfect.
As the day of their meeting drew closer, G-Dragon's nervousness visibly increased. Even Iye seemed to sense her master's anxiety, often rubbing against his ankle and meowing as if to encourage him.
Finally, the night before their official meeting arrived. G-Dragon checked the gifts he had prepared countless times, and ironed his custom-made suit again and again—a suit that was both stylish and impeccably tailored. Before going to sleep, he lay in bed, his eyes wide open in the darkness.
"Youyou".
"Um?"
"Can I practice my self-introduction again?"
"good."
"Hello, uncles and aunts. I am Quan Zhilong." His pronunciation was much more standard than before, but his speaking speed was slower due to nervousness.
“Very good, very standard.” Su You held his hand in the darkness.
"I will do everything in my power to make Su You happy. Please rest assured." He repeated it in a low voice, as if making a vow.
“They’ll be relieved,” Su You replied, gently hugging him. “Go to sleep. You need to be full of energy to see them tomorrow.”
Under Su You's gentle comforting touch, Kwon Ji-yong finally relaxed and drifted off to sleep. Looking at his peaceful sleeping face, Su You felt a surge of anticipation. She knew that tomorrow might bring a little tension, a few minor hiccups, but more than anything, it would be filled with warmth and感动 (a feeling of being deeply moved).
Because the man she chose is trying his best to enter her world and embrace all the important people in her life in his clumsy yet sincere way.
Tomorrow will definitely go smoothly. With this confident thought, she drifted off to sleep.
