This Jerk (Jang Geun Suk Fanfic) ON-HOLD

Chapter 18

********

"I've been thinking about something..." Geunsuk said as he munched on popcorn while we're watching a movie. All lights were off in the house, and we were both wrapped in blankets.

"What is it?" I asked as I grabbed popcorn from the bowl and shoved it in my mouth.

"Wanna get married?" I choked when he asked that. "MIYEON!! ARE YOU OK?!" He panicked as he patted my back. I kept coughing and drank some water. My eyes were all watery and I just stared at him.

"Marriage?" I asked again. He nodded innocently like 'duh, you heard me.'.
"Are you out of your mind?"

"No! Do you not like me?" He asked. His face showed pure sadness.

"No no! Not that Geunsuk. We haven't been dating for a long time, and I feel like you're rushing me." I honestly stated. He shook his head and smiled.

"I understand. I'm just.. scared."

"Of what?"

"Of Joongki coming back and taking you away from me. I don't want that to happen.  I've been a jerk and I'm sorry. " He apologized. I hugged him.

"You apologized way too much. I love you and Joongki's not gonna take me no matter what he does. I'll stay with you." I whispered in his ear. He nodded and kissed my cheek. It was silent for a moment and all we heard was the movie playing. I let go and looked at him. I took his hand and held it close to my heart.

"How about this. I promise to marry you in a year. As long as you don't get jealous of Joongki anymore and you treat me for ice cream every week till the year comes." I giggled. He laughed along with me and smiled.

"I PROMISE, I PROMISE I PROMISE to treat you ice cream every week just to have you forever." He yelled. I laughed some more and nodded.

"Good. Now let's finish this movie." He nodded and continued to shove popcorn in his mouth.

"Strawberry ice cream please!" I requested. The worker nodded and started preparing my ice cream. Geunsuk was just standing behind me, his mask and sunglasses on to avoid detection. She handed me my ice cream and thanked her. Geunsuk opened the door for me and we walked around.

"Do you know what week it is today?" He asked as he held my hand. I looked at him with a confused look as I ate my ice cream.

"Huh?" He sighed. I can't see his expression but I felt he was a little upset.

"It's week 52! We've been dating for 52 weeks now and bought you ice cream 52 times!" He exclaimed. I still gave him a puzzled look.

"And?" I asked. He groaned as he took his sunglasses and mask out.

"1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY! Marry me, Miyeon! You promised and I kept my promise." He knelt down on one knee and took out a ring box and opened it. It was a simple emerald ring and people around us were looking. He removed his glasses and mask and revealed his face. My face flushed. I hate being the center of attention. And now his face is exposed!

"Ya! Stand up!! Put your shit back on!" I hit his arm while I'm covering my face. This is nuts. HE'S NUTS!

"I'm not gonna stand up until you answer my question. Please marry me. I've been waiting for so long, and I've been holding your word for it. Everyday I wake up and see you, that's all I think about. I keep wanting to take the ring out and propose to you in that very moment! And now, this is my chance. The promise we've been holding. Miyeon, will you marry me?"

I just stood there, dumbfounded. My heart is beating so fast and people are whispering. I feel like I've been making him wait for so long. Say something!

"No." I answered. Geunsuk's eyes widened. People whispered even more.

"W-what?" Was all that Geunsuk managed to say.
