The Return Of Not-So-Superman Kwon Jiyong

Marshmallow Kwon Returns

"I weally don't like eomma working," Yongse suddenly frowned and pouted. Jiyong pinched his cheeks when he saw the boy.

"You are not alone, Yongse-ah. You're not alone."

"But why aren't we living in a palat?" Yongse asked again, obviously still not done with his royalty questions.

"Uhh... This house is our own palace," Jiyong answered but it only made Yongse wonder even more. The boy scrunched his brows and sat back like a boss thinking.

"If that it to, then why is eomma in a diffewent palat right now?"

"Eommo!" Yong il dropped his fork and suddenly panicked. "Appa! We should wescue eomma! She must be taken by a monster!"

"Yong il is wight!" Yongdu agreed to his older brother and raised his fork up as if it was a sword. "We need to rescue eomma!!!"

Jiyong could just drop his mouth and turn around at the camera men who couldn't prevent themselves from grinning.

"Ah that..." Jiyong pursed his lips and tried to find an answer. "Oh, please! Calm down kids! That... That is because... Eomma is just visiting that palace. But this is where she really lives of course. She will come home with us later."

Yongse nodded in satisfaction with his dad's answer and went back to his meal. Jiyong then decided to go upstairs to get the triplets' costumes first and to go get changed. When he went down, the three were already done with their food.

"Good boys," he shuffled their hair proudly and kissed them. "Now let me get you changed so we could enter the palace, okay?"

"CUT!"

Dara immediately stepped back and lowered her head after a kissing scene with Soohyuk. She had the urge to wipe his lips, not that she was disgusted, but because something in her screams that even if it was just her job, it was still wrong. She could only sigh, not wanting to be rude and make Soohyuk misunderstand.

"Noona, are you alright?" Soohyuk asked and she just smiled and nodded. Soon the make-up artists and stylists were flocking around them. Soohyuk went to another part of the site to film another scene while she was on a short break.

"Good thing Jiyong-shi doesn't even think of visiting the set," her manager chuckled as he approached her. "I mean it's a relief he just drops by to pick you up. Hell's gonna break loose if he gets to see how many takes it gets just to perfect a kissing scene."

Dara smiled in response once more. It was another half-hearted one. Her manager was right. Everyone in YG knows how protective Jiyong could get. Even so, still, she wanted to show Jiyong what she's been doing and now was the only chance to do that since few years back they couldn't even be seen together because they had to avoid scandals and rumors. They constantly had to bring friends with them and go around in groups just so the media wouldn't notice.

But then, after all these years she realized, there was one aspect in their respective lives that seemed untouchable- it's their own jobs. They have given each other a sense of space when it comes to their jobs. She doesn't even meddle with his business and properties. She doesn't even attend business dinners with him even if he asks her to. Sometimes it was because she felt she was lacking, most of the time she felt shy, but the fear that she might just hinder him or make him feel inconvenient was greater and it always pulls her back to her feet. She will never forgive herself if her presence would just block his way to success.

She suddenly felt guilty for feeling bad towards him when he refused to check out the filming set. She was plain selfish to just think of herself knowing that her husband, opposed to what he used to show to people and on stage, was really shy towards people he hasn't met yet. She sighed and found herself clutching her bulky skirt, limping down her seat weakly, as a sudden throb in her head started to annoy her.
