Alpha Culinary Love

The woman continued to hug me, and I panicked a little because I wasn't used to such displays of affection. I glanced at Yura, but she avoided my gaze. Finally, the woman released me and then proceeded to pull Yura out of the armchair, gesturing for me to sit in her place. Now, I found myself surrounded by what I assumed to be Yura's parents.

"Don't be shy. You can call me Mom," she said, stroking my head gently.

Yura's father approached me. "Don't be afraid. My wife is really excited to meet you because you're the first person to date our daughter, and you're even married. It's truly a joy," he said with a smile.

Before I could respond, Yura's mother interrupted. "I'm so glad Yura finally found someone. She's 25 years old and yet she's only interested in her work. We thought she was going to stay single, but thankfully you came along. Thank you for accepting my daughter just as she is," she said, tears welling up in her eyes.

At that moment, I looked at Yura. She turned her eyes away again, but this time she was blushing.

Feeling slightly overwhelmed by the warmth and sincerity of Yura's parents, I smiled gratefully.

"It's my pleasure to meet both of you," I said, my voice slightly shaky with emotion. "And I'm grateful to have Yura in my life. She's an amazing person, and I feel lucky to be married to her."

Yura's parents beamed at me, and I felt a sense of relief wash over me. Despite my initial apprehension, it seemed that Yura's parents were genuinely happy to welcome me into their family.

"Oh, here's something for you, Jiyeon," Yura's mother said, handing me a credit card.

"Oh, no, that's not necessary, especially since I didn't know you were coming today. I would have prepared something if I had known," I said, trying to hand the credit card back.

"It's okay. You can give us a gift next time. Besides, it's rude to refuse gifts," Yura's father said, also handing me another credit card.

Reluctantly, I accepted the credit cards, while Yura looked on with a smile.

"Oh, and by the way, the PIN for both credit cards is your birthday," Yura's mother said with a smile.

"I almost forgot, I'm Min-Jun, and you can call me Dad, and this is my wife, Min-Seo. We're delighted to meet you," he said, pointing to his wife before bowing slightly, and Seo did the same.

I felt a bit embarrassed, but I bowed slightly as well.

"I'm delighted to meet you too," I said with a smile.

Our conversation was interrupted by the arrival of a servant announcing that dinner was ready. At that moment, we all stood up, and Yura took my hand before telling her parents to go and start dinner; we would join them in a few minutes.

"You better not harass my daughter-in-law, Yura. And you, Jiyeon, if there's a problem, don't hesitate to tell us," Seo said with a smile before leaving with her husband. Then, Yura led me to a secluded spot where no one else was around, then she let go of my hand.

"Why didn't you tell me your parents were here? It caught me off guard," I said to Yura, feeling a little flustered.

"I didn't know they would be here either. I'm as surprised as you are. Besides, they're staying here tonight, and since they don't know our marriage is just contractual, we'll have to sleep together tonight," she said, her cheeks flushing a delicate pink.

Her words took me by surprise, and I felt my face grow warm. Memories of our recent encounter flashed through my mind, and I tried to push them away.

"There's no other solution. After all, you're an omega, and I'm an alpha," I said, trying to sound confident, but my voice came out a little shaky.

Yura nodded, her expression serious. "I know, but don't worry. We'll figure something out," she said reassuringly.

I took a deep breath, trying to calm my racing heart. I knew Yura was right, but the thought of spending the night in such close quarters with her made me feel nervous.

"Let's go and join them for dinner," I said, mustering up a smile. "The sooner we get this over with, the better."

Yura nodded in agreement, and together we made our way to the dining room. As we entered, I couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive.

Yura's parents were already seated at the table, chatting amicably with the servants. As we approached, they both turned to greet us, and I couldn't help but feel a little intimidated by their warm smiles.

Seo patted the seat next to her. "Come, sit next to me, Jiyeon," she said, gesturing for me to take the seat next to her.

I hesitated for a moment, feeling a little awkward, but Yura gave me an encouraging smile, so I took a seat next to Seo. Dinner was a lavish affair, with an array of delicious dishes laid out before us. The servants bustled around, refilling our glasses and ensuring that we had everything we needed. However, throughout the meal, Yura's parents didn't stop putting dishes in front of me, insisting that I eat more because I was too thin.

As we ate, Yura's parents asked me all sorts of questions about myself, and I did my best to answer them politely. They seemed genuinely interested in getting to know me, and I found myself relaxing in their company. At that moment, I felt like my stomach was about to explode because of all the food I had eaten, while Yura had a smile on her face throughout dinner.

After dinner, Yura's parents retired to their guest room, leaving Yura and me alone in the living room.

"Now what?" I asked, feeling a little uncertain.

Yura shrugged. "I guess we should get ready for bed," she said, her cheeks turning pink.

I nodded, feeling a little awkward. "Right. I'll go and get changed," I said, heading towards my room. However, Yura took my hand and led me directly into her bedroom.
