Let me be a mob! - Chapter 55- I will claim you~

“Despite being capable of freeing yourself, you let me drag you inside…aren’t you too obvious Fiona?”

The silver-haired maiden trembled slightly at his warm breath hitting her left ear and the hold on her waist which made Fiona feel so helpless for the first time but ironically she actually wasn’t protesting to set herself out of his grasp.

Jin’s words despite being straight forwarded…held the truth. Fiona indeed had the time to dodge him but she herself let Jin drag her inside and now they were standing in such an intimate position.

“D-Do you hate it…” Fiona accepts that she was rather aggressive in their relationship but after what she saw two days ago during the battle between Jin and Amanda, a sense of discomfort was born within the lightning princess which pushed her to take some major takes, not avoiding Jin just now was also one of them.

“Can a beauty being so submissive, become a reason for anyone’s hatred? Of course, I am not hating it Fiona but the question is…are we on the same page regarding this matter?”

Fiona left herself being turned toward the only man who could hold her so closely before her oceanic gaze fell into his greyish ones. Her heartbeat was numbing and painful that fast it was beating.

But she needs to compose herself since the way this conversation was heading, Fiona knew there were many things at stake currently, major part overtaken by what relationship she would have with Jin.

“Fiona, I know it’s cruel of me to ask this directly from you and I apologize for that beforehand, but can you tell me something truthfully?”

Fiona nodded, already nervous about what the question would be. Well, she would be lying if she said that Fiona didn’t expect what he would be asking and his following words proved her hunch to be right.

“Do you like me?”

Fiona was slightly anxious when Jin said it so calmly like it didn’t matter to him much and considering how briefly they have been associated with each other, his take on this subject was a natural. It was Fiona who was helplessly in love with Jin, not the other way around. It was she who has dreamt of him all these times and had been playing fantasy with her knight in shining armor until now.

She was scared to answer truthfully and get rejected but Fiona was not a coward to escape an easy way out just to get hurt afterward.

“I…do,” Fiona said nothing else. No explanation. No support for her response. Nothing. She did not want to get rejected by him but forcing her feelings was not something Fiona could ever allow herself for.

In response Jin stayed silent for a better half a minute, continuously gazing in her eyes with a strange glint Fiona was unable to recognize. She also didn’t waver from her stance and looked back at him in full determination and tried to convey her feelings.

On the thirtieth second, Jin sighed before he separated himself from Fiona and walked toward the couch, with his hand still grabbing her wrist.

For some reason that gesture was enough to make her slightly elated but she didn’t let it show and calmly sat inches beside him.

“Listen, Fiona… I have a very dull past and a very uncertain future where I could die in just three months span. And I know we both aren’t the type of people who casually date just to break up on every little argument, so before you come to any conclusion I would like you to seriously contemplate things through.”

Fiona knew his life was on line due to the sudden intervention of the Crimson Demon but still whenever she gets reminded of it incurs a stinging sensation in her heart.
About his further reasoning then it was true that Fiona was not looking for some random dating stuff but wanted to build a strong relationship with Jin.

But why she has to think about anything to be near him in the first place?

“What is there to think about when all I have is feelings for you, Jin?”

There was an unhidden blush on her face but the small tone of protest portrayed her current dilemma. She wanted to deny his reasoning, as childish as it sounds, she wants to cling to her emotions this time rather than to make things complicated by adding reasonability into it.

She wanted Jin and that’s all it mattered no?

[Jin’s POV:]

Jin knew he was not able to pass his words through since the expectations in her eyes and the determination flaring were still ignited as ever. Jin…was falling weak here.

He always has been a little soft toward cute things and the current determined Fiona who had her fist clenched and anticipation enshrouded her persona was everything around the word adorable.

“Listen, Fiona…”

“Tell me something Jin.”

Jin raised his brows hearing the sudden aggression in her voice before he heard her following words in the same slightly high-pitched tone.

“Do you hate me?”

“No definitely not…”

“Do you think I am ugly?”

“I would never…”

“Do you think I am not a genuine person who could be trusted?”

“I would not say that…”

“Then do you like me?”

“Of course I…” Jin halted himself before he could say something he wouldn’t turn himself away from.

But it seemed Fiona already got her answer as she suddenly got up on her feet with a smug adorning her majestic complexion.

“Then it’s decided. Since we both like each other…it won’t be a problem for me to pursue Jin Carter right?”

“No wait, Fiona. That’s not how it works.”

Jin followed the girl trying to prolong the conversation and end this misunderstanding. But it seemed all futile as Fiona was not ready to hear anything at all.

“Not gonna help Jin. Once Fiona locks her eyes on something she makes sure to attain it through any means. So just now…”

Suddenly the vixen Fiona twirled on her feet catching Jin off guard before he felt his collar being held and neck being slightly pulled downward until their eye level was aligned.

Her fresh strawberry scent permeated profoundly making Jin slightly dazed. With a dry gulp, he looked at her predatory eyes and heard her declare something completely out of character!

“…be prepared to fall for me Mister Jin since if not now, not tomorrow but one day I will make you mine. And when that day comes….” Her voice drew closer before her hot whisper raced across his ear, “I will have my mark all over you to tell the world whom you belong to~”
