Fifty-nine

Sana

"Will you marry me, Minatozaki Sana, and love me for the rest of your life?" I looked at Chae Hyungwon and he has the most serious looking facial right now and I can't believe this is actually happening to me.

I have been trying to hint to him countless times that I want to get married to you but he hasn't been getting it and he keeps thinking that I am just moving out to the massive penthouse that it is just too big for me, there is no way that I would purchase such a huge house for myself to live in.

I even spoke to his dear friend many times to drill something important into his brain and I had almost given up on asking him, I thought that I would have to do everything on my own to be with this man but it turns out that he was also thinking about the same thing as well. And he is really sneaky for this and I did not expect this at all.

"Sana, are you crying?" Hyungwon asked me and I touched both my cheeks, they were wet and I looked up to the sky and it wasn't raining. So I am crying then...

I am touched that he decided to bring me to his parent's house and allow me to meet his mother before proposing to me, I thought that it would be a while before I would get to meet his mother and meeting his mother was a magical moment for me.

I didn't have my mother by my side when I was growing up nor I have anyone who was a mother figure to me, everything was just my father controlling everything in the business and I just had to obey everything that he wanted me to be.

It has always been that way for me and I have not felt any love from anyone until Chae Hyungwon appeared and then his dear friend who supported me wholeheartedly with my relationship, and now his mother is the third person to make me feel love from her and her love for her son is so pure and it got to me and I could feel the warm fuzzy feeling when I am with her.

"Hyungwon, I..." He continued to kneel on one knee and I told him to stand up and he shook his head. "Your knee is going to hurt."

"You would have to say yes to make me stand up, Sana. The magic word, Miss Minatozaki." He says to me.

I was going to ask him about the ring but the ring is the least of my concerns right now, it might look perfect with the proposal and I know that he probably hasn't found the time to get me one. "We will get a tattoo around our ring finger and that would be the engagement ring."

A permanent tattoo for an engagement ring, is just the best way to tell me that he is not going to regret marrying me... I nodded my head and he got back up and he pulled me into his embrace and I took in a sniff of his scent.

And then I pulled away from him and got down on one knee, surprising him and everyone around the two of us. "What are you doing, Sana?"

I chuckled as I reached for the box inside my pocket, and I took it out, opening it and showing him the beautiful rings that I had been hiding from him. "I have the rings that you needed, it is just sitting in my pocket for a few weeks now." I took a deep breath. "Chae Hyungwon, will you marry me and be my husband?"

He burst into tears immediately and he pulled me up, and I kissed him on the lips. I did propose to him after all, I do love him a little too much...

"Tell me that you didn't just think of that on the spot earlier, I know that you don't have a ring nor do you have any plans to get a tattoo anywhere on your body." I had my hands intertwined with his as we were walking back to his house.

"I knew that I wanted to marry you when you asked me to be your fake boyfriend and I knew that it would be for life." He said to me. "Of course, our marriage is going to be real and you will be my wife."

"If I weren't there in your life, would you have even dated anyone at all?" I asked him and he shrugged his shoulders. "I bet that you would be single for the rest of your life and you would be working in that restaurant without any plans to get married."

He thought to himself for a moment and then he nodded his head, he is a very simple person who just wants to live a simple life and he even planned to live a life with him just working at the restaurant until he is old enough to retire or Kihyun kicking him out of the restaurant because he is so sick of seeing his face, and he would not get married because there is no way that he would be able to go on dates with him working so hard all the time.

"It changed when I met you and my life goals got erased, and now it involves you and me starting a family with you." He said to me. "And you would not get out of your father's clutches if we hadn't met, you would have just stayed being your father's pawn, only listening to his demands and following it because it was your only choice."

We indeed changed each other's lives and it is because of the two of us that everything is the way that it is today, I have never thought that I would make such a huge difference to my life just by leaving my comfortable palace for a simpler lifestyle and I would meet the love of my life.

We made it back to the house and Hyungwon announced to his mother that we were getting married and she shed tears of joy, it was a happy occasion and it is worth celebrating.

"Have you told Kihyun yet?" I asked Hyungwon and he shook his head, he has to know because he is his best friend and would be sad if he didn't know about it.

"Know about what?" The two of us jumped up in fright as we heard Yoo Kijyun's voice and he came out of the kitchen, and he had an apron on.

"How did you even come out of here?" I asked him.

"I was here the whole time, and I planned the entire proposal." He confessed and I was shocked that he was the mastermind behind everything and he orchestrated the whole wedding proposal and he was the one who fueled the both of us to propose to each other.

"You should get a girlfriend," Hyungwon said to him. "You are not going to stay single for the rest of your life right?"

He shook his head. "I have a lot of things to do to have any time to spare and besides I enjoy being single, I get to do the cupid's job by making them fall in love with each other and I made a great match." He said to both of us. "Please continue to love each other until the end of time, that is my only requirement as your friend."

And I will love you until the end of time, Chae Hyungwon...

The End.
