Whisper Of Death

Chapter 7 | Red cheeks.

After their talk, both of them had a shower separately and got more cosy in their comfortable clothes. Florence was still very much shy while Jaemin tried to figure his wife out but the more he tried, the more confused he got. He knew that Florence was not alike any other girl. She truly cared about the respect and would probably listen to everything he would say to her.

She was very obedient.

“Hyung. Can I please show Florence around more?” Jinwoo said behind the door of their room. Anyone could hear from his voice that he was begging his older brother.

Both Florence and Jaemin were sitting down on the sofa. Just talking to one another to get to know each other better. She was aware what kind of job he did and he was surprised to know that Florence was a nurse. He wanted her to speak more about her family. Specifically her heartless father but the only one she spoke about was Yuna and Minjun.

He was fully aware that those two meant the world to her. Her own family she got after losing her mother. She frequently told Jaemin how Yuna would always tell her about her mother and it broke his heart to see her eyes sparkling so beautifully while thinking of her mother. It pained him to know that she never had the chance to grow up with her.

To know her mother because from the stories he heard from her and Florence heard from Yuna, her mother truly loved her a lot. These little conversations made Jaemin eager to know more about her. He was so curious to find out more new little things she did.

Whenever she got shy, she would bite her underlip because she would feel too nervous. Her cheeks would flush red. Just like the tip of her nose too. It was the most adorable thing Jaemin had ever seen in a girl.

When Florence neither Jaemin made a sound, Jinwoo banged on the door again to get their attention. It was as if he was a small baby that constantly needed their affection and Jaemin wasn’t having it. He growled lowly out of annoyance. His brother would never change. Not even after he got married. Jinwoo would still remain as annoying as he was from the very first day he was born into this family.

Jaemin sighed and put his finger on his mouth to indicate to Florence to stay quiet. She nodded her head while listening to what he had told her. He stood up from the sofa, leaving a huge space empty that made Florence shiver. It was quite chilly inside here. She didn’t know if it was truly cold or if Jaemin purposely wanted the temperature to be this cold in the room.

He walked to the door and opened it enough to only look through it. Jinwoo who was lowering his gaze down while impatiently waiting for Jaemin quickly looked up when he heard the door open. He smiled but it quickly faded away when Jaemin shot him a death glare.

“What do you want?” Jaemin asked and looked at his younger brother who tried peeking through the small gap to see where his sister in law was. Jaemin raised his eyebrows up while looking at Jinwoo.

“I wanted to show Florence around the mansion. So she wouldn’t get lost.” Jinwoo smiled innocently as it it was no problem to disrupt the newly wed couple. He knew that if their parents found out, he would be scolded for it. That’s why he tried staying as calm as he could so no one could hear him.

“She just fell asleep. You can do it tomorrow morning.” Jaemin lied. Florence’s eyes slightly widened when he lied effortlessly. She would have believed him if she hadn’t known better.

Jinwoo sceptically looked at Jaemin before sighing and giving in. He nodded his head. “I guess no becoming uncle today.” He said sadly. Florence gaped softly and quickly covered her mouth when she heard what Jinwoo said.

Jaemin immediately blushed, knowing that Florence heard everything that his stupid little brother let out with any shame. “Get out of here.” He said and closed the door, feeling the embarrassment coursing through his body. He couldn’t even bring himself to look at Florence.

He was ashamed and shy at the same time.

“I am sorry. You must think that I have a crazy family.” Jaemin quickly apologised and looked at her red cheeks. She quickly smiled before shaking her head.

“No. No. I get it. I think my mother would have been the same.” She said in the most adoring tone. She made everything look like it was okay. Even when it could sound too disrespectful. She wouldn’t show that it bothered her.

Jaemin smiled towards her and nodded his head while walking towards her. Florence’s heart started racing. She saw how he sat down again on his previous place and again looked up to lock his eyes into hers.

“I hope you don’t think I will force you to do those things with me. We are still new to one another. We need to get comfortable before even thinking about that. I would never just satisfy myself or you for the sake of it.” He said and Florence nodded her head.

A part of her was glad. She wasn’t ready for that much intimacy in her life. Being married to someone she didn’t know was already a big deal. Leave alone sleeping with him on their first night. She would be too much of a chicken for it. Jaemin chuckled softly upon seeing her cheeks still red.

“I must say. You are adorable when you blush.” His wide smile made Florence’s heart beat a skip before she looked away shyly. “Thank you.” She said in a low voice.

Jaemin sighed while looking at her. He wanted to know so much more about her. Know how she was as a person but he also knew that a few hours wouldn’t give him that. He would be lying if he had said that he wasn’t excited. He wanted to know how his life would turn out.

He just knew that Florence would bring a positive change to it and that’s all he wanted. He wanted his life to change for the better.

“Should we go to sleep? I have to work tomorrow.” He said while scratching the back of his head. Florence nodded her head and smiled.

“What time do you wake up?” She asked. She wanted to prepare breakfast for him and pack lunch if he would stay away for a long time. She wasn’t going back to work until next week Monday.

Jaemin didn’t think twice and said, “I normally wake up at six.” Florence smiled as she nodded her head and suddenly shivered when she felt the cold breeze hit her skin.

Jaemin frowned and looked at her. He didn’t feel cold at all. He was used to it. “Are you cold?” He asked and his voice sounded so caring that Florence couldn’t bring herself to tell him that he was.

She shook her head immediately. “It’s just a sudden feeling.” She smiled.
