SONG COUSINS (Mino and Gunhee)

Chapter 54: Will you marry me?

Time was passing by quickly. Days went by. Weeks went by. And months went by. Our debut was soon approaching. And each month we trained, we recorded two songs. So in total out album was to have 12 tracks. We had our concept decided. We were gonna go for a sexy 19+ concept. We were to be a Hip Hop version of Troublemaker. And our name will be Erotik. We were in the process of filming our music video now. #Gun and I had gotten better at dancing so we we will be able to dance in our music video. We are to film for two weeks. Half of it was going to be filmed in LA and half of it was to be filmed in Seoul. And since my home back in the states was only an hour from LA I will get to see my parents. I had told my parents I had become a trainee and that I am now about to debut. And I had also told my parents about me and #Gun dating. My parents were happy for me. And since they wanted to meet #Gun they said they will drive to LA so we can have dinner together. They will be coming after we are done with our first day of filming. #Gun was very nervous. And since my parents only speak Spanish they will have some trouble communicating. But the whole time me and #Gun have been dating, I have taught him some Spanish. I just hope it's enough.

It was 6pm and we were done with the first day of filming. We were to meet with my parents at 7. My parents had made a reservation at an Olive Garden nearby. I had decided on wearing a new dress I had bought in Seoul it was light purple and knee lenght. Then I put on my heels, did my hair up in a bun, and put on my makeup. Once I was done I went to go see if #Gun was ready. "Babe. Are you ready?" I knocked on #Gun's dressing room. "No. Help me with this tie." #Gun opened the door of his dressing room. He had on a black suit and an untied tie. I grabbed his tie and made a knot. "There. So now are you ready?" "Yup." "Okay. Let's go."

We had our manager drive us. Our manager was a guy in his early 30's. He was only a few years older than me so I called him oppa but #Gun didn't like that. He would get jealous because he thought that our manager liked me. But then I would pretend to be jealous when a stylist would compliment #Gun. Our manager was a really cool guy though. And I got along well with all our stylists.

When we arrived at the restaurant my parents were already there. We had actually arrived a few minutes late since there was traffic. My parents had reserved a table by the window in the front so I was able to find them right away. We went up to the waiter and told them our name. She then looked at a list and took us to the table. As soon as my mom saw me she got up hr chair and went to hug me. "Hija. Te extrañaba! Como estas?" ("I missed you. How are you?") She started kissing me. "Bien mami. Yo tambien te extrañaba. Pero mira este es mi novio, Gunhee." ("Good mom. And I also missed you. But look he is my boyfriend, Gunhee.") "Esta muy guapo! Y habla Español?" ("He is so handsome! Does he speak Spanish?") "Hola señora Hernandez." ("Hello Mrs. Hernandez.") Gunhee extended his hand out and shook my mom's hand. "Que lindo! Habla Español!" ("He speaks Spanish!") My mom smiled. "Solo un poco mama. El aprendio de mi. Y papa saludalo." ("Only a bit. He learned from me. And dad say hi to him.") My dad was hesitant but he stood up and extended his hand out to #Gun. #Gun took his hand and shook it. "Es un gusto conocerlo señor Hernandez." ("Its a pleasure to meet you Mr. Hernandez.") "Y usted cuida bien a mi hija?" ("And do you take good care of my daughter?") My dad asked. "What did. he say?" #Gun turned to me. "He is asking if you take good care of me." "Si. Yo cuido hija. Yo la amo mucho. Quiero casar con ella." ("Yes. I take care of her. I love her very much. I will like to marry her.") My eyes widened when I heard that he wanted to marry me! He had never even talked to me about marriage before! "Do you even know what you just said?" I turned to #Gun. "Yeah. Of course. I just said that I want to marry you. And I thought now would be the perfect time to ask you. Will you Abby Alonso marry me Song Gunhee?" #Gun got on one knee and took out a ring. "Of course I'll marry you! But..." "But what?" "Can we wait like a year or so for that? We're barely gonna debut and I just think we should wait a bit for marriage." "I'll wait but on one condition." "What condition?" "That from this day on we'll be engaged and that you will be my fiancee for this one year you want to wait. I would like everyone to know you are mine. I wouldn't want anyone to steal you away from me." "Of course." I smiled. #Gun took the ring out the little box and put it on my finger. "Mi hija por fin se casa! Ya pensaba que hiba quedar soltera y con 15 gatos con nombres de los de Super Junior!" ("My daughter is finally getting married! I thought she would stay stingle and have 15 cats named after Super Junior.") My mom got up and hugged me. She made me laugh with what she said. "Y a usted quien le dio permiso de casarse con mi hija? Que acaso me pregunto a mi?" ("And who gave you permission to marry my daughter? Did you even ask me?") My dad shook his finger at #Gun. "Papa no seas asi." ("Dad. Don't be like that.") "Pues es la verdad. Me tiene que pedir permiso a mi. Usted es mi hija y no se casa sin mi permiso. Asi que dile a este muchacho que me lo pida o no hay boda." ("Well its true. He has to ask for my permission. You are my daughter and he will not marry you without my permission. So tell this boy to ask me or there will be no wedding.") "Sergio no seas asi. Le vas a dar una mala impresion al muchacho. Para de ser tan protegedor de tu hija. Ella ya esta grande. La decision es de ella. Y en verdad se mira que el la quiera mucho. Asi que hija tienes mi bendicion." ("Sergio don't be like that. Your going to give a bad impression to the boy. Stop being so protective of your daughter. She is already a grown up. The decision is hers. And it really looks like the boy loves her. So daughter you have my blessing.") "Gracias mama. Y papa tienes que parar de ser tan antiguo. Pero si tanto quieres que te lo pida pues le digo que te lo pida. Pero Gunhee es bueno asi que me lo tienes que tratar bien de ahora en adelante." ("Thank you mom. And dad you have to stop being so old-fashioned. But if you really want him to ask you then I will tell him too. But Gunhee is a nice guy so from now on you have to treat him good.") #Gun turned to me. "What are you all saying? I only understand some words but I don't like your dad's expression. I don't think he likes me..." "My dad just wants you to ask him if you can marry me." "Oh. My bad. I'll ask him now." #Gun turned to my dad. "Me puedo casar con su hija? Prometo cuiadar y amarla. Sere buen esposo." ("Could I marry your daughter? I promise to take care of her and love her. I will be a good husband.") "Bueno pues como me lo pides y mi hija quiere entonces te doy mi permiso. Pero te advierto que si la lastimas te las vas a ver conmigo." ("Fine since your asking me and my daughter wants to, I will give you my permission. But br warned, if you hurt her you'll be in troublr with me.") I told #Gun what my dad said. #Gun looked a bit scared and nervous but he tried to smile. "Gracias. Yo voy a ser Abby mucho feliz." ("Thank you. I will make Abby very happy.") "Entonces ya esta decidido! Mi hija se casa en un año!" ("Then its decided! My daughter will marry in a year!") My mom exclaimed happily. "Ya pues a comer que la comida se hace fria." ("Well lets eat now cuz the food will get cold.") I said. We started eating. And the rest of the dinner my mom kept on trying to plan my wedding. But I already knew how I wanted my wedding. I have been planning it since I was a little girl.
