HOPELESS LOVE [CHOI SEUNGCHEOL]

CH: 62

Seungcheol

The thirteen-hour flight didn't feel that long because of Shasha, I never told her why I came to Budapest, and ever since she agreed I wanted to give her the best memories to her, and I will make sure to give her the best ones.

Never in my life, I took days off, specially for a vacation because there was no reason for it. I traveled only for work reasons after I started working and becoming CEO wasn't easy. I had to do everything I could do, on my own to become a responsible CEO.

Handling a company was never an easy task, but having Minhyun as my secretary made things a bit easier because he was there with me ever since I started working. I never wanted to take my dad's position without any work, instead I wanted to work hard and get the CEO title.

I looked outside the balcony of the villa we were staying in. Everything looked beautiful and everything felt beautiful. I had no idea how did these days went away so fast and today is the last day of our trip already. I took a deep breath remembering the reason why I came to Budapest with Shasha and today is the day. It felt like the last four months were playing infront of me like a recap of a movie. The way me and Shasha started our relationship but I never expected this. If someone told the four months ago Seungcheol that you will fall in love with Shasha and things will be beautiful because of her, I would find it hard to believe. Because falling in love this hard didn't look like an option to me.

Every second passes by and I want to admire her more and more, she changed everything. Life became better and added real happiness after she stepped in.

I want- my thoughts were interrupted by a knock on my door. I turned to look back and saw her standing by the door. She was wearing a white oversized tee and it was long enough to cover her thighs. I tried to look up at her face.

"Breakfast is ready~" she walked towards me, with a smile. Starting my day with her and ending my day with her became my favourite thing for these last three days. I can't wait till this becomes my permanent favorite thing for me everyday, I started walking towards her and wrapped my arms around her. I rested my chin on top of her head, "thankyou" she hugged me tight, "for everything" I didn't know why I felt like telling her this but I did anyways. "Are you excited for our last day in Budapest?" she nodded in my embrace. I smiled at her and kissed her forehead, well kissing her also became my favorite thing ever since I felt her lips against mine. I hope this doesn't become my addiction because her lips were addictive. I wanted to kiss her again and again.

"Let's go and eat" she looked up to meet my eyes, "no, I don't want to let you go right now"

"Cheol" she trailed off, "Can't we stay like this for a few minutes more?" looking at her, with the admiration I always felt for her, and realizing I was actually nervous.

Shasha

He told me we should end our day with Buda castle, it was more like my fairytale dream coming true. The last three days were amazing, who knew coming here would be the best idea. All the places we visited, we had fun together. It made me feel like I was reliving the moments from Japan trip and the only missing part were Jeonghan and Byeol, other than that everything felt lovely.

The night looked pretty and the whole castle looked so pretty, that words felt less if only any picture could do justice to what we were witnessing right now. I was so lost in the lights, that his words brought me back to the world, "isn't this so pretty?" I nodded and looked at him. "you know Shasha..." I turned to look at him, he was shining under the moonlight, and it felt like his eyes were holding me tight. I was looking at him, and he smiled showing his dimples. If only I could capture this moment, right now. There weren't a lot of people around us, and I felt at peace, looking at him. I was looking at his smile, he looked happy; his happiness was speaking to me, telling me to be happy. Unknowingly I started smiling because of him, "Shasha"

"huh?" I saw him taking out something from his pocket, it looked like a black velvet box, and then he suddenly went on his knees. No this can't be happening, no way. He can't be...

"Shasha..." he took my hand and took out the ring I was wearing, the ring which was our symbol of being engaged and that he proposed to me at Jeonghan's wedding, he took it off. I was scared, of what was going to happen, was he going to tell me, he wants to break off our engagement? Or was he trying to say he doesn't want to marry me anymore? Or because he didn't love me anymore. I was scared and I started getting anxious. I was about to ask him, what was he planning to do but before I could speak he did.

"When I proposed to you, that day I wasn't true to you, I wasn't true to myself, I wasn't true to anyone. Everything that I said was a lie, but now that I'm here with you I want to be honest with you and me. When I was choosing the ring for you, which was meant for you and no one else, I was nervous. The what ifs were enough for me to overthink all night before I flew here with you. Bringing you here was just an excuse to spend time with you and only you. After everything, you deserve to know how I feel, about you. I want to keep you happy, I want to be the reason for your smile, I want you to start my day with you and end my night with you, I want you to be yours and I want you to be mine. I want you to be by my side. I want to start a new beginning with you, just with you for us. I want to add happiness to my life with you." I was surprised and overwhelmed. I had the worst scenarios set up in my mind, but I never imagined this.

"I want you to know that I want to change everything from fake to real. I want a real relationship, a real engaged life until we get married, not because we need to but because of love, and because I love you." he took a pause and spoke "Will you marry me?" it felt real, and I was tearing up, after all these, he was proposing me. I couldn't believe that it was him, who was proposing to me, and this was real. No more fake acts, no fake smiles, no forced smiles, and no more fake relationship because of people. "Seungcheol..." I trailed off trying to stop myself from choking.

"Tell me Shasha will you marry me and spend your life with me as my wife?" I nodded, letting the tears fall down, he slid the ring on my finger and I was about to wipe my tears but he pulled me into a big hug and kissed my forehead. I tried wiping my tears, he pulled apart and wiped my tears with his thumb, "fool, why are you crying? I should be the one crying" I shook my head, "No" and laughed, "Do you know how nervous was I?" he pulled me into his embrace and I could hear his heartbeat, I placed my hand on his chest, "it's beating so fast"

"because of you" he smiled at me, I looked at him with a smile. I wanted to tell him, how much this means to me, getting proposed infront of Buda castle, living the fairytale dream but my thoughts stopped the moment he leaned in and kissed me. I closed my eyes and he pulled me closer.

He broke the kiss and said "I love you Shasha" I smiled at him before saying "I love you too"
