105 - Lee Heeseung

Imagine you startle awake to the sound of your apartment door slamming shut. Your heart lurches in your chest as you quickly sit up, pulse thrumming uncomfortably through your body as your eyes dart around to scan your surroundings. As the initial shock slowly trickles away, you recognize the empty space on the bed next to you and you quickly check the time. It's a little past midnight.

Suddenly, your boyfriend barges into the bedroom. His appearance is disheveled and he looks evidently disgruntled. A few small cuts litter his face and, if you squint, you spot a visible damp spot on his lower left calf. It's dark in the room, with the only light source being the dim lamp on your nightstand. But even in this dark environment, you can pick up the crimson color painting his leg.

"Heeseung," you gasp, scrambling to kick off the covers. "What happened? Are you okay?"

Without saying a word, Heeseung nearly collapses as he kneels in front of you. He takes both of your hands into his own and clutches tightly as if you'll slip through at any given moment.

"Car accident," he murmurs, pupils still blown wide with shock. "I was in a car accident," he reiterates, a little louder this time almost as if he were confirming the fact for himself.

The hairs on the back of your neck stand in shock after this new revelation. "I need to take you to the hospital right now, Hee," you urge, pulling at his arm to help him stand. Yet, your boyfriend stubbornly remains kneeling in front of you.

"No," he shakes his head sternly.

"What do you mean? You might not feel bad now, but you could be seriously injured internally, Heeseung," you plead. "Please let me take you to the hospital. I'd rather be safe than sorry."

"No," he repeats again as you tug at his arm once more. You're nearly on the verge of tears when he gently grabs your hands and looks you deep in your eyes. "I could have died tonight. All I could think about, while everything happened, was how I've been meaning to propose to you but still haven't found the perfect way yet."

"Heeseung," you murmur, bottom lip trembling as you're hit with a new wave of emotions.

"I can't wait for the perfect moment, anymore. Time is too precious and I could have lost you tonight," he recounts as he shakes his head in disbelief. "Marry me," he finally whispers. "Make me the happiest man on Earth and marry me while we're both still here, my love."

"I'll marry you if you let me take you to the hospital," you chuckle - although, it comes out sounding more like a sob as you become choked up by your tears.

"Only if I get to tell the nurses and doctors that you're my fiance," Heeseung winks before leaning in to capture your lips in a kiss.

Happy Monday, Dalgis! Here's this week's Heeseung imagine. Hope y'all liked it 🥰

Just as a heads up, my remaining updates (only five more to go!) will be posted a little later on Mondays as, for the first time in a very long time, I have Monday classes again 😭 I don't get home until after 7:00 pm so I'll probably post my updates closer to 9:00-10:00 pm (PDT). Thanks for your understanding in advance! 

In other news...HOW ARE WE ALL FEELING ABOUT TXT'S COMEBACK?? I love it so much!! The MV was sooooo beautiful. Ngl, watching it at 3:00 in the morning was a whole experience in and of itself 😂For those of you who are actively reading my other book, Sacrifice, you might know that I was unsuccessful during Moa Presale last week. But it's like the universe wanted me to go to the concert because when I checked the LA venue again at the end of the week, I found general sale tickets at face value! I'm so grateful that I was able to secure tickets to their Act: Promise World Tour and I'm so excited to be seeing them live again!! This comeback has given me so much good concert fit inspo hehe.

I hope you're all staying safe, happy, and healthy! I love you so much 💗

Until next week,
