My Lover Bastard

Chapter 25

Author POV

"What are you up to, Jeon Jungkook. I have been closing my eyes and following your lead for the past 15 minutes. Where exactly are we going to?" Yuna was holding onto Jungkook very tightly as she was blind folded by Jungkook as he led her to somewhere.

"Trust me, honey. One more minute." Jungkook brushed his lips with his tongue to endure his anxiousness. He has never felt this nervous before.

Stopping the lady, Jungkook cleared his throat as he stood steadily in front of her, fixing his collar and shirt. He pulled down her blind fold, unveiling the astonishing night scenery of Seoul. They were both standing on the Namsan tower, with love locks surrounding them. Yuna was awed by the scene. It has been so long since she has been up here.

The wind was gently blowing as it was stepping into autumn and the weather was chilly and comfortable. The female was smiling brightly, turning her heads left and right to admire the led lights twining around the railing. This place has witnessed countless love oaths, with couples locking their promises here.

"Yuna," Jungkook's vision was glued onto Yuna from the moment they reached Namsan, and he was observing her every movement. The female stopped fidgeting after hearing her boyfriend's voice. Jungkook cleared his throat again, holding both Yuna's hands, gently rubbing the back of her hands with his thumbs. "I have something to tell you."

"I have never imagined myself falling in love so hard. These two years have been crazy for me. I am looking forward to every moment with you and I never knew that I could be so devoted in a relationship, but with you, I trust that I can only be better each day. You made me who I am today, and I have been grateful all this while. Fate brought us together, from enemies to lovers – I can't ask for more."

Yuna was attentively listening to his every word, and she could feel her nose getting sour as a faint shade of red crawled around her eyes. Why is he suddenly so emotional? Yuna questioned herself. Before she could react, he knelt onto the ground, fishing out a flannelette box, which took Yuna aback. She shockingly took a small step backwards, her hands covering her mouth as she couldn't believe what she was seeing.

The man opened up the box, revealing a shining white gold diamond ring. It was the one which Yuna eyed on when they were casually shopping around some weeks back. She didn't expect him to take it to heart.

---Flashback---

"Look at that beautiful ring." Jungkook and Yuna were both bending in front of the glass panel of the jewellery store in the mall, admiring the beauty of diamonds and gold. Yuna exclaimed, pointing to a small diamond ring on the left.

"We can go in and take a look." Jungkook commented, attempting to pull Yuna into the store to let her take a clearer look at the accessories that she adores. "I can buy them for you."

Yuna refused, pulling her boyfriend away from the store instead. "We don't need to buy such expensive items. It's not like we are getting married or anything. Let's go." She casually remarked.

Who says he wasn't going to marry her? He had been cracking his head about his proposal plans over the past few months, discussing with his and Yuna's friends.

"I know you don't like attention and you don't like being proposed in front of super large crowds. So, after discussing with my hyungs and your friends, I decided to just keep it with just the two of us. Nothing fancy but I meant every word I said just now." Jungkook stared at Yuna genuinely, and before he knew it, his eyes went watery too.

In his memory aside from his new-born days, he cried only twice – first, when the company almost went insolvent when he just took over, and the second time, is this right now. This moment when he was kneeling down in front of his beloved woman, telling her how much she meant to him. He could never find someone who knows him like she does. Beside Yuna, he could always be who he naturally is. He always needed someone to rely on although he had been convincing himself for years that he can walk through all the storms alone. But now, it's different. He has his strongest armour.
