Sorry for the wait, my babies! Here's chapter 9! Now...here's the deal. Last day to vote for how this story goes is January 30th. So far, Saeyoung is in the lead. Anyways...my devious plan is already at work .-. Enjoy, beauties!

Jumin Han walked into your house with a grin. You looked at him with a happy smile, indicating that you were glad to see him. You were surprised to see him since you've been home all day due to a bad cold. A warm fuzzy feeling crawled around in your stomach as you blushed when he walked to you, kissing your lips gently.

"What are you doing here?" you questioned.

"I came to see you. I was worried when you didn't show up. I didn't think I could make it through my day without my coffee."

You playfully glared at him. "Oh, so you weren't worried about me, you were worried about me not delivering your coffee, right?"

"Oh...My, you're so smart." He smiled. "That was a joke."

Sure it was.

"Anyways," he said as he set down a bag, "here. This should make you nice and warm so you won't get another cold."

You sat up on the couch as you reached into the bag. You pulled out a grey overcoat that was soft and stylish with a perfectly folded collar and a belt like structure that tied around the waist. You looked at the price tag and Jumin quickly teared it off. He cheekily grinned at you as he hid the tag in his pocket. "You don't need to see that."

"Was it a lot?"

"It was expensive, yes. But I'd spend anything on my princess," he said as he took off his coat and set it on the sofa, then picked you up, sat down where you were lying, then sat you on top of his lap. You wrapped your arms around his neck with a smile, cuddling against his chest. His heartbeat was music to your ears as his chest rose and fell with each breath. You giggled.

"What?"

"Oh, it's nothing."

Jumin ran his fingers through your hair. "Hmm….is that so?" He tilted your head back as he grazed your jaw with small kisses that barely touched your skin. You closed your eyes and sat there, sighing in happiness and fulfillment. There was something about his smell that always drove you crazy and you couldn't control yourself. You tugged at his collar, wanting more of him. He chuckled against your skin, sending gooseflesh up your body.

"Someone's impatient."

"I can't help it," you stated with a small blush. "Don't judge me."

"I was never judging; just teasing." He retracted and held you close to his chest. "I wanted to change something with the party, Love."

"Hm? What?"

"Nothing serious. The date just isn't a good idea. I was considering moving it to next week."

"Another week?"

"Yes."

You smiled. "Sure. But, why?"

"I have too much I need to finish. It won't be finished before the party."

You giggled. "Why did you ask for my permission? I'm not the boss, you are."

"You're my assistant and you were the one who made this happen, so I would have to get an okay pass from you in order to change it."

You rubbed his cheek with a soft thumb. His hair fell in his eyes as you shifted so that you were more sitting rather than lying on him. Those grey eyes turned your being into liquid, freezing you in place and unable to move. A pink blush crawled upon your cheeks and settled itself comfortably. His fingers lightly massaged your sides as you smiled at him, trying to hold back the giggles that were crawling up your throat.

"Sapphire?"

"Yes, Jumin Han?"

His smiled faded, his eyes closing and his posture lacking. "Would you ever consider leaving this house?"

"Huh? Um, what do you mean?"

"Would you ever move out and consider-" he reopened his eyes "-moving in with me? I miss your presence near me all the time and it drives me crazy not being able to be with you."

"You're….asking me to move in with you?"

"Did I not make myself clear enough?" he chuckled as a response. "Of course I do. Why wouldn't I? I want you back at my house."

You grinned sheepishly as you thought about what Jumin said to Zen about living with each other before marriage.

ZEN: Sapphire! Would a lovely lady like to spend the night at my house instead of Jumin's?

Jumin Han: No one said she was staying with me

ZEN: where is she going to go to get away from the bomb?

Jumin Han: I don't want her staying at my house.

Jumin Han: So I don't know

ZEN: she could stay at my place. I'd be fine with that. She could stay until the party

Jaehee: For 4 days? I do not think that's a good idea

ZEN: why's that?

Jumin Han: she would basically be living there

ZEN: I'd be fine with that

Sapphire: I don't see that big of a problem, We're just friends; it'll be like roommates.

Jumin Han: I don't believe in living together before marriage.

"Are you sure you're okay with that?" you asked as you tasseled your hair in a mess to match Jumin's. "'I don't believe in living together before marriage'."

Jumin laughed at your impersonation. "Well, looks like I'll have to marry you soon."

"It seems though," you replied with a grin.

"Or-" Jumin rubbed his nose against yours "I could retract that statement and instead say 'I don't believe in living together unless you love the person you're living with'."

Your eyes widened. That was the first time either of you had said the word "love" in a way of referring to each other. His grin grew and looked at you. Then, a sudden blush captured his face and he gulped, realizing what he had just said.

"..."

"...You didn't mean to say that out loud, huh?"

Jumin shook his head. "No. I didn't intend it, but I'm glad it slipped out. Now you know how much you mean to me." He grabbed your hand placed a soft kiss on it. "I love you, Sapphire."

"I...I love you too, Jumin Han."

…

A day after Jumin had proposed the idea of living together, you were already settled in, all your bags and possessions in your shared bedroom. He was quick to act once you agreed on moving in and you knew he was anxious for it, but not to the point where he called movers that day. You sat on the bed, smiling down at it. Jumin entered the room with a cup of coffee and sat next to you.

"How do you like it?"

"Your room is huge. I never came in here when I stayed here before the party."

Jumin chuckled at your excitement. "You seem happy, darling. That's good."

A yawn escaped your mouth and you nodded. "It's really early but I have a lot of energy. Tonight will be the first night we actually sleep together in your bed."

Jumin smiled. He looked at his watch. "Are you ready? It's time to head to work."

You got up and walked to the dresser and opened the top drawer. You pulled out your pencil skirt and smiled. Jumin stared at you as you tugged your pants off, sliding them down your legs. The skirt slipped on easily and you pulled it up to where it was suppose to settle on your waist. "Jumin?"

"Yes?"

You pointed to the small zipper on the back of the tight skirt. "Can you come zip this up please?"

He strode over to you and gripped you by the hip, holding you steady as he pulled the zipper up slowly, watching it intently as it slid over your butt and up to your mid back, "There. Is that better?''

"Mhm. Thank you, Love."

Jumin turned you around and kissed you. "Let's go. Driver Kim is waiting."

You followed Jumin as you both exited the penthouse. His hair lightly blew in the cold wind and you looked up at the sky, seeing big clouds rolling closer. The cold weather was here and Christmas approaching. Did any of the RFA members have any plans for the holidays? You didn't think so since they were all busy with their personal lives and business. Speaking of business, you needed to give the check to Yoosung as soon as you could. Some part of you was still shocked that Jumin had given you a check with such amounts of money on it. Did you do or say something that made him do that? It was all a surprise to you and it made you wonder what else you thought of him that was wrong.

You got into the black car and sat next to Jumin Han as Kim began to drive to C&R. Buildings seemed to zoom by you at that point due to the speed of the vehicle you guys were in. Jumin was silent the whole way, which wasn't any surprise since it's usually how he was on the way to work. The drive seemed a bit longer than usual and, by looking at the road ahead, you couldn't see why since the roads were clear from any cars.

Bing

You pulled out your phone and saw that you had an email.

Mr. Sensie, Kiki

Miss Sapphire Choii,

I'm sorry to say that we are moving our wedding to next Friday. We ran into some difficulties with my fiance's parents being able to attend the wedding. Please make note that we are still expecting you to attend so we can all say our thanks.

Thank you, Miss Choii, We will see you next week.

"Darnit….."

"Is something wrong?"

Your eyes met Jumin's in a frown. "Work. Wedding planning work. They decided to move it next Friday."

"Next Friday is the party though."

"I know. I….was planning on stopping by. But now I can't. The wedding starts the same time the party does."

"You must go, Sapphire. You're part of this company, so it's crucial that you attend."

"But-"

"You're coming as my plus one."

A smile spread across your face. Your plus one? These words made you fill up on happiness, making you giggle with excitement. "You mean that?"

"Why would I say that to you and not mean it? Of course I mean it. After all-" he cupped your chin and tugged your face closer, whispering against your lips "-you are my girlfriend."

"Jumin…"

"Mr. Han." The car door opened and you looked up to see Driver Kim holding it open. "We've arrived."

A blush covered your face in embarrassment as Jumin pulled away with an unsatisfying smile. When did the car stop? He stood out of the car and reached back in to help you. You grabbed his hand and pulled yourself out of the car, standing straight and fixing your skirt. You walked beside Jumin as the two of you entered the building.

"What's my schedule for today," Jumin questioned, fully in work-only mode.

You opened a binder and flipped through the pages. "You have a meeting with the the Oil Prince again at 12:30, then lunch with Mr. Chairman in the evening. There's 45 papers that need your signature on them and 12 emails that were sent to you personally-"

"I have lunch with my father?" Jumin stopped walking and stood in front of you with his arms folded across his chest.

"Yes, Mr. Han."

"When was this scheduled?"

"This morning, Sir." You closed the folder and held it against your body.

""Hm. I guess I have no choice but to attend."

You chuckle and shook your head."Do you not wish to attend, Mr. Han?"

"No. Why would I? He'll just pester me about my engagement with Sarah, which will never happen."

"Mr. Han," you questioned as you stared at him. "Perhaps….we should finish this conversation in your office."

Jumin glanced around at the employee's staring at the two. He nodded in agreement and moved along, you following behind him. After you two entered his office, you closed the door behind you then gasped in surprise as you were pushed against the door. You widened your eyes as you blushed in embarrassment, unsure of Jumin's change in behavior. "Mr. Han…."

"Don't call me that when we're alone," he demanded, jerking your chin towards him, smirking deviously. "I'm Daddy Jumin, understood?"

You nodded, gulping in pure embarrassment. "Jumin…."

"Is my princess free for a couple of hours?"

"W-we have meeting, Jumin," you replied shakily.

"That can be postponed, " he whispered in your ear. "Right?"

"O-of course, but-" gulp "-i-t's very important!" you gasped as he breathed against your neck, sticking his tongue out and leaving little pecks around your throat.

"Hm. Perhaps…." He pulled away to stare into your eyes. "We could finish this later tonight when we get home then."

You nodded quickly, slowly fixing your matted hair. Jumin glanced at your body with an intense stare, then turned his attention to the windows on the back.

"Let's get going, princess. "

"Yes, Jumin."

…

The night was cold and the icy breeze cut through your face as if blades were skidding across the sky. Temptation of heading inside of the building filled you, but the scenery was too beautiful to miss on a night like this; so many beautiful glistening stars shining. The moon was barely visible as the clouds began to close in, covering the sky with a sleek of grey and white. Your breath caught in your throat as you went to inhale, the cold stopping you from doing so, so you shoved your face in the scarf that slung around your neck in a lazily manner. Even though you were wearing warm gloves, the cold was still attacking each and every slender finger, sending shivers all across your body.

A hand lied on your shoulder and you spun around, seeing a tall man with black hair, smiling at you as he breathed calmly, each exhale leaving a cloud of fog. His coal grey eyes seemed brighter on this night, and it may have been due to the ominous lighting.

"Sorry I kept you waiting, love. I had to make sure things were set in the right order."

You smiled. "That's fine, Jumin. Come on, let's go."

"Are you sure you want to walk?" he asked worryingly, wrapping an arm across your shoulders. A giggle escaped your closed lips.

"I'm sure. Is it too cold for you?"

"No no," Jumin replied. "I'm fine. I just don't want you to get sick again."

Yea. That sucked. It's already been 3 days since you moved in with Jumin Han. Things seemed to be going quite smooth and nice, no harsh bumps coming between you two so far. This night you two chose to walk to a cafe near C&R so you could wait for driver Kim's car to get fixed. Neither of you expected it to get so cold so fast and both of you were regretting the decision.

"Are your hands cold?" he asked, breaking the silence.

You glanced at your hands, which were shoved deep into your pockets for warmth. A giggle made its way out of your mouth as you looked at him with shining eyes. "Um. No, Jumin, haha. They're fine-"

"Well, mine are," he said, cutting you off mid sentence as he grabbed your left hand from its pocket and held it. The warmth radiated off of his hand, causing it to crawl up your arm and settle at your heart. "Why are you blushing? Does being close to me make you…...hot?"

"Wh-what?"

"Don't make me repeat myself. Just answer the question."

"I-I suppose…"

"You suppose? So you don't know?"

"Ah, um..w-well, you do…"

A smirk appeared on his face. "That's what I thought. Now. Let's hurry home so I we can play."

You looked up at Jumin. A mischievous glint caught in his eye as he slowly turned his gaze away from you. "P-Play?"

"Mhm."

You stopped in your tracks and he looked at you. You blushed. "Like….like naughty?"

A dangerous look spread across his face. "Of course. How else would we play. Now, come on. You're too slow." He rolled his eyes as you scooped you up, holding you bridal style. "Let's hurry, now. I can't wait any longer."

"What about the Café?"

That can wait for another day. Right now, I want your body."

As you went to reply, he shut you up with a smoldering kiss, causing your whole body to melt. You could already tell he was holding back. And you couldn't wait for what was to come when you two got home.
