Chapter 31
Janine and her mom were busy preparing for the Christmas Eve celebration while Porter and Mr. Kwon were busy fishing in the sea.
Janine didn’t expect her parents to be so open and welcome with Porter but at least they are. She doesn’t know how to deal with parents not being okay with a daughter’s friend, anyway.
“Does Porter not have a girlfriend?” Mrs. Kwon asked her.
Janine paused on making kimbap and looked up to her mother. “He doesn’t.” Because she is the apple of his eyes, Mother. There’s no other woman because Janine is the one.
Mrs. Kwon raised her brow. “Is he really that close to you?” She asked her again.
Janine suddenly grew nervous. What if her mother notices that there’s something about her and Porter? What would her mother think of her?
Ah! Why is everything so hard?
“Yes, Mom.” Janine replied and she immediately resumed to making kimbap

Days gone by and Porter and Janine had been closer than ever. And of course, Porter got closer to Janine’s family, an advantage that he holds now against Johann who was always away. Damn. Johann Kim was always away. He is always busy running down some business.But now, it was back to basic, back to normal because holidays are over and it just means one thing: back to work.“Jonas, follow me to the office now.” Porter ordered at the flustered employee. It was always that way. Porter would call one and that certain person would get flustered upon knowing that Porter’s attention is on him or her. It doesn’t matter if you’re a guy or a girl, if Porter calls you, you would get nervous.Janine watched Porter as he walked to his office followed by Jonas who’s looking nervous more than ever. Since she spent the holidays with him, she got the chance to know him better and yes, she wasn’t disappointed. In fact, she actually

“I’m nervous.”Janine spoke as Johann took her hand and led her to the door of the hall for their family gathering. She knows how rich the Kims are and she knows that she’s in an awkward position right now.What if Porter comes with some other girl? What if Porter comes and-“It’s going to be alright.” Johann beamed. “I am here with you. And I know they will accept you.” He continued as he held her cheeks and made her look into his eyes. “I love you, alright?” He smiled as he planted a soft kiss on Janine’s lips.Janine was partly surprised that she didn’t feel the same when Johann’s lips touched hers. Why did she feel like she’s missing something out? What is happening to her?Johann smiled widely. “Let’s go?” He asked as he offered his arm to her.She nodded and held onto his arm. “Let’s go.” She replied and they wa

Everything wasn’t going the way Janine wanted it to be.Porter is too close to her and she knows that he got his eyes on her no matter what she does. She couldn’t concentrate well. It was as if he was guarding her. He was watching if she would do something ridiculous tonight.Johann held her hand under the table making her jump slightly from her seat and look at him. “I’m just going to the rest room.” He told her as he looked at everyone at the table. “You’d be okay here.” He smiled as he planted a kiss on her forehead.Janine didn’t want him to go but then she didn’t have any choice. She couldn’t come with him, right? She smiled and watched Johann walk to the way of the comfort room.Porter’s and Johann’s parents were laughing heartily while Porter and Janine were looking really awkward.Janine almost jumped out of her seat when she felt her phone vibrate.

Janine’s heart was racing up until Porter had finally driven them away from the location. She doesn’t even have an idea on how she escaped the occasion.It wasn’t really easy for her to finally make up her mind and choose one from them. Like everyone else, she didn’t want to hurt one when she knew they both loved her so much, only under different circumstances.Johann was the best thing that happened in her life. He was the person who made her see the light in love. He was the person who opened her heart to love.But Porter. He was the one who made her heart race faster and slower at the same time. He was the person who made her feel like she was always the priority – that he would give up everything just to be with her.If only there was something she could do to not hurt anyone, she would’ve done it. But is there really a way to not make a certain goodbye painful?“You’re still trembling.” Por

“What would your parents think of me? Of us?” Janine asked Porter as they were watching movies on the living room of his condominium unit.She loves Porter so much and she knows that it would be hard for them to be approved by their parents. Her parents know that she’s with Johann. And Johann is Porter’s cousin. What would they think of her? She’s worried of everything others would think of her, of Porter.Porter looked at her with a raised brow. “They don’t matter at all, Janine. I don’t like them meddling with my personal life anyway.” He replied as he planted a kiss on her ear. “If they won’t approve us, then we won’t insist. I can fund you and our children just fine.” He smiled as he wrapped his arm around her, pulling her closer to him.Janine gulped at how advanced Porter is already thinking. He’s already thinking of building a family with her. That’s one thing. He&rs

Janine and Porter walked to the dining room after preparing. Well, Porter doesn’t really mind but Janine’s really nervous. What if his friends won’t approve them? Is this going to be another obstacle?Janine held onto Porter’s hand tightly as they approached his friends.Porter looked at her, worried. “Don’t worry. My friends won’t eat you.” He whispered, trying to reassure her.Janine nodded but still feels uneasy. She doesn’t know what to think about their relationship if even his friends won’t approve their relationship.“Come on.” Porter led her to the dining table where the six men were waiting for them.Janine looked at all of them and saw Serge smiling widely at her. “Uhm…” She wanted to greet but she doesn’t know how they’d want her to greet them.“Take your seat, Janine.” Serge pointed at the chair beside Porter’s
Her Other Man Chapter 38
Porter and Janine stared at each other. Janine felt like her whole world is going down the drain the moment she heard what Serge said.It’s the end. It’s going to end now.That was all she could think of. Although she knows that Porter isn’t going to raise the white flag, she’s still so scared that she’d lose him now. Hell, she couldn’t lose him now or she’s going to die.Porter laced his fingers with hers and stood up. “Come on. Let’s face them.” He told her calmly. There was no trace of anxiety in his voice.Janine stared at him. “Porter, what if they disapprove our relationship?” It was not a new question and L has answered and assured her a thousand times that she’ll always be his choice. There’s no one else.Porter sighed and faced her, cupping her cheeks. “Listen, Janine. I’m not going to repeat this ever again.” He began. “I know you&r

“We’ll be okay.” Porter assured Janine as they boarded the plane to Busan. It was just yesterday when her mother called and, now, they’re going to meet her parents.She’s nervous for Porter. She saw how his parents disapproved of their relationship. Although she understood their point, she’s still sad about it. Well, how can you accept the fact that you’re not accepted by the important persons in the person you love’s life?It’s hard. But Porter is trying to convince her that it’s all going to be alright in the end. Just the two of them. They only need each other in this life.“How can you be so sure?” She asked as she sat on the seat beside the window.Porter smiled at her as he took the seat beside her. “Because I know that I will marry you no matter what they say. No one can stop me from having my forever with you.” He spoke as he fastened her seatbelt.Janine po
