It Will Always Be You (방찬)

46

(a/n: Normal/English ; Se Rin/Chan)

Se Rin's POV

It was almost midnight when I got up from bed and ran to the bathroom. I vomited until the nausea was gone. I brushed my teeth and went to check on the sleeping kids before going back to bed. I checked my phone but there were no calls or chats from Chan. When I saw that, I burst into tears again. I cried until I fell asleep.

The morning sickness was bad when I woke up. I barely left the bathroom. I was grateful to eomma who took care of the kids because I wasn't feeling well. I felt so weak that I stayed in bed. My only company was Jun Woo oppa who comes to feed me. Soo Bin and Hee Jin dropped by too. I was either crying or on the verge of tears when I wasn't running to the bathroom to vomit. The week passed and no word from Chan. I kept apologizing to my babies because their appa didn't seem to want them.

Chan's POV

A week. That's how long I've spent being unable to contact her. I really wanted to call her and chat with her. But I wanted to make sure that everything's settled before coming home to her. I sigh as I saved the last track I made. I immediately sent all 10 tracks to PD-nim and lay down on the sofa, thinking about how the week has been to me.

Exhausted. That's what I am right now. I spent all week trying to work out everything. As soon as I managed to clear my head, I rushed back to the company and went to talk to our boss and PD-nim. I nervously sat in front of them as I came clean and confessed that Se Rin and I were dating and that I am the father of her babies. I also informed them of my plans of marrying her. I expected them to shout at me and tear up my contract. But to my surprise, they only gave me a lecture before smiling at me and congratulating me. They gave me their support. But in return, I had to submit 10 new tracks within a week. After that, it was hell week for me.

As soon as I was done with the meeting, I went to my studio and started working. In between schedules and practices, I went out to buy the things I needed for the surprise. I ordered the flowers, bought the rings and bought the decorations. I went to meet Se Rin's parents at a restaurant near the company. I apologized for my behavior and explained my side of the story to them. Thankfully, they accepted me and gave me their blessing to marry Se Rin when I asked them for her hand. I was barely at the dorm, only coming home to shower and then immediately going back to the studio. Every time the guys would invite me out, or ask me where I've been going, I'd give them lame excuses in order to get back to work. And just like that, my week passed.

Se Rin's POV

After the week passed, I gathered myself because we were going to Jun Woo oppa's wedding. I put on my dress and with the help of eomma, dressed the twins. We only went to take pictures with oppa and eonnie after the actual wedding. After taking pictures, we congratulated them. I was so happy for Jun Woo oppa and Eun Byeol eonnie that I couldn't stop myself from crying. Oppa comforted me before my family and I went home.

I entered the quiet house with the kids. I helped them out of their clothes and led them to the bathroom. I told them to soak in the tub while I changed out of my dress. They've been such good kids and cooperated with me. After their bath, I watched them get dressed on their own and then I told them to play nice while I went to bathe too. After my relaxing bath, I quickly got dressed and blow dried my hair. I brought the kids to my parent's place. We ate dinner there and hung out there until it was bedtime. I went back first to prepare the twins' onesies.

I went into the dark apartment and turned on the lights. The scene in front of me took me by surprise. I didn't know what to feel as I stopped in my tracks. After a week of silence from him, there he was. Standing in the middle of the living room with a bouquet of roses. He smiled at me and I just broke down in tears. I was so afraid to approach him. Afraid to even look at him. I heard his footsteps as he approached me. I was suddenly engulfed by him. He had his arms around me and hugged me tightly. I cried on his chest for a while. He just stood there with me in his arms.

"Where were you? Why did you suddenly leave? You disappeared for a whole week. Did you hate me so much that you just left like that and ignored me for a week? It was so hard for me." I asked as I sobbed harder.

"I'm so sorry my baby. I was flustered when you told me. I went straight to the office when I gathered my thoughts. I told them that you were pregnant with my babies. I told them that we're dating. I couldn't contact you because I was running around the place. I'm really sorry my baby. I'm not mad at you. I don't hate you. I'm really sorry for leaving you alone this past week." He explained. That's when I heard him sniffle. I looked up from his chest and saw him crying too. I held his face in between his hands and wiped his tears away.

"Why are you crying too?" I asked him.

"I'm really sorry babe. I didn't mean to hurt you. I really shouldn't have left like that. I'm so sorry. I love you so much. I love you my baby." He sobbed.

"It's okay. I understand. I love you too. I love you too babe." I said and then I pulled him into a kiss.

His lips were so warm on mine. We both channeled our emotions on that kiss. After what felt like an eternity, we pulled away from each other. We couldn't stop smiling as we looked at each other. He then lifted me off my feet and carried me to the sofa. He cradled me in his arms and I felt secured.

"I'm sorry I'm so late. I went to buy this after I settled everything at the office." He said as he pulled out a small velvet box from his pocket.

"What's that babe?" I asked him.

"Marry me Ahn Se Rin." He said as he opened the box. I didn't know what to say. I was so overwhelmed. And then I burst into tears because I was so happy.

"Yes." I said and then I hugged him tightly.

"I love you so much Ahn Se Rin." He whispered to my ear.

"And I love you so much Bang Christopher Chan." I replied. And then I pulled away and let him put the ring on my finger. I pulled out the other ring in the box and put it on his finger.

"Now you'll always be mine." He said as he gave me a peck on the lips.

"I've always been yours. And you've always been mine." I said as I returned the peck.

He pulled me in for a kiss again. We were like that for a while. I was so happy but then I remembered my responsibilities. I reminded him of the kids and then we got up and then he held my hand as we went to get the kids. When we entered my parent's living room, I saw them watching TV with the kids. They were both surprised to see us. I held up my hand and eomma immediately came to hug me when she saw my ring. The kids ran to Chan who immediately carried them in his arms. Appa approached us and hugged me too when he saw the ring. They congratulated me and Chan before we headed back to my place. We immediately prepared the kids for bed and stayed with them until they fell asleep.

While Chan was showering, I took a picture of my hand, showing off my ring. I sent the picture to Jun Woo oppa with the message 'I said yes'. When Chan was finally done showering, I went to wash up and joined Chan in bed. He was sitting with his back pressed to the headboard. I sat beside him and he immediately pulled me close. He kept an arm around me as he kept holding my hand. I held my hand up and looked at the ring on my finger again. He did the same. I told him not to move as I took a picture of our hands. I felt so happy just being with him. We spent our time talking about the things we missed during the week apart from each other.

He told me about how he was lectured by our bosses for a while when he confessed everything to them. How he had to work non-stop because he was told to. How he went to the jewelry store to buy the rings. And how he asked my parents for my hand. In return, I told him about how bad my morning sickness was during the past week. We kept on talking until I finally yawned and then he helped me lie down. He told me that we were going somewhere tomorrow and then gave me a kiss on the forehead. And for the first time in a week, I fell asleep happily in his arms.
