Future Lover [SeongJoong]

022

Yunho 

After dropping Seonghwa off at Wooyoung's which he insisted on, I went home. 

We had made a truce after he thought I could've died. It was enough to to make us make up even for the moment, which also led to very angry and very pained sex. 

Then the morning came and the truce was gone. We didn't actually forgive each other, we just put our fighting aside. It wasn't long after that, that Seonghwa showed up and our focus was back on him. 

By the time I got home, his car was outside of the building so I knew he was home for the day. 

Even if Seonghwa and Hongjoong were on a new path, it still did damage to my relationship which should've been my top priority. I had nobody else to blame but myself. 

Walking inside the apartment, all of the lights were off and for some reason it stung. Mingi used to wait on the couch for me to come home, and we'd always go to bed together. But since things got rough between us, he'd just go to bed by himself. Most nights we didn't even share the same bed. Last night was the first night in weeks. 

I let out a long sigh, putting my keys in the dish next to the front door, and I went to our bedroom. Like I already predicted, he was laying in bed with the lights off. 

I stared at him from the doorway, thinking that maybe I should just sleep on the couch again. 

Maybe I stood there too long because he said, "Are you going to stand there all night?" 

"Can we talk?" I asked, turning the lights on. 

"I don't feel like it." He answered simply, not turning over. 

My heart ached and it made me go over to him, laying in bed next to him and then I wrapped an arm around his waist. 

I rested my head on his shoulder. 

"I missed this." I murmured. "I missed you." 

"Did Hwa see Joong?" he asked, ignoring what I said and probably keeping himself from saying something hurtful. 

"Yes." I left it at that, not wanting to talk about them anymore. "Mingi, please." 

"What do you want, Yunho?" He asked, shifting out of my arms and putting distance between us. 

"I want to apologize." I said. "I let what happened affect us more than it should've. I didn't mean what I said to you." 

He shook his head, finally sitting up. "Why should I even believe you, though? What happens if we fight again and you regret being with me? Instead of working it out, you just leave again the first chance you get." 

"Hey! I have never regretted being with you! I have never once regretted anything I've had with you." I said, reaching for him which he dodged. 

"I'm going to sleep on the couch tonight." He said, getting off the bed. 

I grabbed his wrist and kept him at the end of the bed, I was now positioned on my knees. "Princess, marry me." 

He froze, his eyes searching my face for a lie. "What?" 

"I'm not just saying that either. I've wanted to marry you for years. I want to marry you, Mingi. I know I'm too much of a coward sometimes so I never asked, but I'm asking now. I know it can't happen right away, and I know this doesn't fix any of our fighting. But I want you to know that I'm not running again, I'm going to stay with you for the rest of my life." My grip on him tightened. 

"I don't know what you want me to say..." 

"Say you'll think about it." I said. "I'm not asking for a yes, I'm just asking for you to think of that as a possibility for our future. Because I want you, and I love you. I hurt you badly, and I never meant to. I promise you I'll fix the mess I've created. Please trust that." 

He clenched his jaw and looked at the door, for a second I thought he was just going to leave. 

"I will marry you, Yunho. I'm not going to not marry you because of a fight. I love you too much to end it here. I just need some time too, I guess." 

I nodded, instantly saying, "Anything you need." 

He sighed, wiping a hand over his face. "I can't believe that this is what finally got to us. We have barely ever fought in the length of time we've been together, and yet we fought over this." 

I huffed, letting go of his hand and sitting properly. "I guess it was inevitable. I don't think this is enough to ruin what we have. I think it'll take a lot more than that. I'm not losing you the way Hwa and Joong lost each other. I'm just not. You've completely injected yourself into my bloodstream. I can't live without you."    

"Then stop being a dick to me." He muttered and it made me chuckle. 

I couldn't help the smile as I got off of the bed to stand in front of him, I cupped his face in my hands. "I love you, and I want you to be my husband. I'm never going to act so immaturely with you again. Because you matter more to me than anything." 

He nodded and let me hold him, I planted a kiss on his forehead and hugged him tightly. 

After a long minute I said, "Do you want to have more angry sex?" 

He burst out laughing, pushing me away as he threw his head back. His eyes landed on me and he smiled, "Definitely." 

It was my turn to laugh as I kissed him again.
