Fated Mistake

Epilog

Guess who is still not over this story hahaha. That's right. C'est moi.

Take 1:

"Mister Jong, I'm scared," Johnny tightened his grip on Jongin's trouser, hiding behind the tall man. Jongin didn't know when it happened, but Johnny had started coming over very often. The little boy spent time with Jongin whenever he could. Kyungsoo said they looked like father and son. Jongin didn't hate that idea.

"You don't need to be scared. I'm right here," Jongin comforted Johnny, pushing the small human forwards.

"But he is dangerous." Johnny protested, still holding on Jongin.

"He is a puppy," Jongin explained, "Look at him. He just wants to play."

Johnny whined as the dog barked, wagging his tail.

"Come, give me your hand," said Jongin, placing Johnny's hand on the dog's head.

"Apple, be a good boy," he told the golden retriever. Apple continued wagging this tails, not moving, allowing Johnny to pet him. Immediately, the little boy beamed as his fear disappeared.

"Mister Jong, he is so cute."

Take 2:

"Kyungsoo, can you get us some wine? It's downstairs." Kyungsoo nodded at his brother's question.

"Sure," he said, leaving the dining room. This wasn't the first time Jongin and he visited Chanyeol and Baekhyun. Still, he hadn't figured out why those two needed such a big wine cellar. They weren't heavy drinkers after all.

...

"So how are you gonna do it?" Baekhyun asked, looking at Jongin, lowering his voice in a mysterious way.

"Do what?" Jongin turned his head, narrowing his eyes, as he placed the plates on the table.

"Proposing, dumbass," Baekhyun slapped Jongin's head like the taller man deserved it, and maybe he did.

"Why should I?" Jongin asked, still in confusion.

"You don't want to marry my brother?" Baekhyun questioned, hands on his waist, ready to scold his brother's stupid partner.

"We're already married," Jongin argued. If he knew that he was going to be interrogated by Baekhyun, he would have helped Kyungsoo with the wine instead of staying here, setting the table with a psycho brother.

"Ghost, I should have saved that 'dumbass' for this," sighed, Baekhyun murmured.

"That doesn't count, my friend," Chanyeol joined the conversation.

"Of course it does. We had a wedding and all," Jongin tried again and all Baekhyun did was rolling his eyes.

"It doesn't count. At that time you didn't even know his name. That was the most unromantic wedding ever."

"I wouldn't be so loud. We were in the same situation," Chanyeol warned, leaning closer to his husband.

"It's ok. We had a new wedding with all those romantic stuff. You know, Flower, sunset and stuff," Baekhyun replied, and Chanyeol froze for a second.

"Stuff?" He thought, "What were those 'stuff'?"

"Kyungsoo is not like that. He doesn't need that kind of romantic..." Jongin interrupted the couple, "do you think he would like a new wedding?"

"Yes," The couple exclaimed at the same time, causing Jongin to flinch at the sudden noise.

"You can ask Chanyeol for advice. He is an expert," Baekhyun joked, "When he proposed to me, we got lost in the mountain and almost froze to death."

"Oh come on," Chanyeol whined, "It wasn't such a disaster."

"It was," Baekhyun teased.

"Just propose to Kyungsoo, Jongin. He loves you. He will say yes." Chanyeol told his friend without noticing Kyungsoo had come back with two bottles of wine in his hands. Shocked by Chanyeol's advice to Jongin, Kyungsoo bumped against the counter.

"I didn't know which wine you guys want, so I got both, red and white." Kyungsoo explained in a robotic voice, his eyes wide opened.

No one moved or say a word until Jongin gathered all his guts and walked towards Kyungsoo.

"Well," he hesitated, slowly coming closer, taking the bottles off Kyungsoo's hands for the smaller one looked like he was about to drop them.

"Do you want to?" He asked, "...marry me I mean ... like a question, not an order. I mean..."

"Oh, Jongin," Chanyeol murmured, covering his eyes. He couldn't even look. Second-hand embarrassment was real.

"Not now, Jongin. We didn't mean do it right away." Chanyeol whispered through clenched teeth but Jongin couldn't hear him. It would have been too late anyway. Kyungsoo had heard everything clearly.

"Yes," Kyungsoo beamed. A wide smile showed up on his face.

"I wi," Kyungsoo was about to say yes while literally jumping on Jongin. But Baekhyun pulled him away.

"Oh no," yelled Baekhyun. "You will not say yes to that clumsy proposal."

"Baekhyun," Jongin shouted out loud, not believing what just happened.

"I do not allow it." Baekhyun screamed back.

"Honey, don't." Chanyeol gently said, holding Baekhyun back and freed Kyungsoo from his brother's grip.

"It's not your proposal," Chanyeol added.

Now, being free to move, Kyungsoo stepped closer, lifted his head to look at Jongin's eyes. He was looking for a hint that the older meant it.

"Your brother is right. It should be romantic. I think we should..." Jongin stuttered.

"Ask me again." Kyungsoo interrupted with a hopeful smile and sparkly eyes. His breathing was so loud everyone could hear it.

"Are you sure?"

"Ask me."

Nodded, Jongin placed the bottle on the counter and got on his knee.

"Do Kyungsoo, will you marry me?" He asked, taking Kyungsoo's hand.

By that Kyungsoo smiled wider.

"Yes, Kim Jongin, I will marry you." He answered.

Take 3:

Jongin pulled up the blanket, making sure his fiancé was covered. Kyungsoo had laid his head on Jongin's bare chest, running his fingers over the taller's naked body.

"How about Egypt? I want to see the pyramids." Kyungsoo suggested.

"Ok" Jongin replied. He wasn't paying attention. He was focusing on the sunlight, dancing on Kyungsoo's skin, and on the way Kyungsoo's lips pouted a little every time he talked.

"Or how about South Africa? I've always wanted to go there but I never got to. But I haven't been to Machu Picchu either and I can't choose"

"Whatever you want," replied Jongin and at this point Kyungsoo had realised someone wasn't paying attention.

"Ok, let's go to Narnia then. I'll book first class in our wardrobe." Kyungsoo said with sarcasm. Still, Jongin didn't notice.

"Sounds good," he said, only to earn a punch from Kyungsoo.

"No, it does not. You jerk, are you even listening to me?" The smaller one scolded his fiancé, "I'm not planning our honeymoon by myself."

"I'm sorry." Jongin apologized, grabbing Kyungsoo's hands, since he knew he deserved another hit.

"I just don't really care where our honeymoon takes place as long as we go together." Jongin explained and placed a kiss on Kyungsoo's lips. Kyungsoo pouted. Yet, his pout soon turned into a smile.

„Of course we'll go together. That's how honeymoons work."
