CURSED LEGACY (Son Chaeyoung X F reader) [G!P]

Chapter 31 (finale)

Weeks had passed since Chaeyoung walked out of the prison gates, her hand in yours as she stepped into a life that finally felt like it was hers again.

The dark clouds that had once loomed over your family had begun to part, allowing a sense of normalcy and peace to settle into your lives.

Yet, despite the happiness that filled your days, there was a feeling that something was still missing, a sense of permanence, of true commitment.

You knew exactly what that was.

One afternoon, you found yourself in a cozy little jewelry store, the kind where the shelves sparkled with promises and dreams.

Jae was at your side, his eyes wide with wonder as he looked at all the shiny objects glinting under the lights.

You had told him that today was a special day, that you were going to pick out something very important for Chaeyoung, and he had taken on the task with all the seriousness his five-year-old self could muster.

"Which one do you think she'll like, Jae?" you asked, your voice soft as you leaned down to be at his level.

His little face scrunched up in concentration as he examined the rings on display.

After a moment, Jae's eyes lit up as he pointed to a ring sitting in the center of the display case.

It was simple yet stunning, a delicate band adorned with a cluster of small diamonds that shimmered like stars.

The ring was elegant, timeless, and, most importantly, it seemed to capture the essence of Chaeyoung perfectly.

"That one!" Jae exclaimed, his voice filled with excitement. "It's shiny like Mommy's smile!"

You couldn't help but smile at his enthusiasm. The ring was indeed beautiful, a reflection of everything Chaeyoung meant to you.

The price tag attached to it was a bit daunting, but you pushed that thought aside.

This was for Chaeyoung, for your family, and for the love that had endured so much.

No price was too high for that.

"I think you're right, Jae," you said, your voice warm with affection. "This one is perfect."

You signaled the jeweler, who carefully retrieved the ring from the display case.

As you held it in your hand, the weight of it felt symbolic, a promise of the future, a commitment to the love that had carried you both through so much.

"I'll take it," you said, handing over your credit card without a second thought.

Jae watched with wide eyes as the transaction was completed, his little hand squeezing yours in excitement.

As you both left the store, the ring safely tucked away in its velvet box, Jae looked up at you with a big grin.

"Is Mommy going to be your wife now?" he asked, his voice filled with the innocent curiosity only a child could have.

You chuckled, ruffling his messy hair. "I sure hope so, buddy," you replied, a mix of nerves and excitement bubbling in your chest. "But it's a surprise, okay? We're going to make it special for her."

Jae nodded eagerly, clearly excited to be part of something so important.

As you drove home, your mind was already racing with ideas for how to make the moment perfect, how to show Chaeyoung just how much she meant to you.

You knew that life had been anything but easy, but standing in that jewelry store, holding the ring that would soon symbolize your unbreakable bond, you felt a sense of hope and determination.
