i didn't know when i would stop crying. it seemed like a never ending stream of tears. my eyes were burning and i just felt like screaming, laying here in the dark of our bedroom, not knowing what my future held.

i couldn't hold in my sobs, hoping this was a dream and when i woke up, taeyong would be sleeping soundly next to me.

but instead the other side of the bed was empty, his scent still radiating off of it.

it seemed like each minute, my cries would grow louder, more painful.

eventually i felt the bed dip, another body appearing. it wasn't long until an arm snaked around my waist, pulling me against its chest and whimpering, burying their head into my neck.

" jae, i'm so sorry for making you cry, making you worry. it's my job to keep you from crying and i just keep hurting you. "

i sat up, throwing his arm off of me and standing up from the bed.

" no! you don't get to apologize! you left me when i needed you most and you don't get to hold me, to touch me! i love you lee taeyong, but it seems you don't love me back. "

tears began welling up in his eyes and he fell to his knees, looking up at me.

" seriously? i don't love you back? you are the only thing i look forward to when i wake up, the reason i even want to be on this planet! i'm sorry that i left but you mean the world to me, hell jaehyun, you are my world! i don't know what to do to prove that i'm hopelessly in love with you- "

" marry me. "

his jaw went slack and he stood up, staring at me with wide eyes.

" what? "

i looked at him expressionless, sniffling.

" you want to prove you love me, marry me. marry me and never leave. promise you'll always stay and you will be here to raise your child. i don't know about you, but i can't exactly live without you and i don't want to find out how that feels. "

his lips were beginning to pull upwards, a soft smile overtaking his face while he wiped his tears.

he knelt down, grabbing my hand, and pressing small kisses to the skin.

" jung jaehyun, make me the happiest man alive and marry me? "

i nodded, throwing my arms around him and collapsing in his hold.

" please, promise me, promise, that you won't ever leave. i need you to live taeyong. you are my drug. "

" i promise angel. "

he pulled away slightly, looking at me and smiling through tears.

" so you're really pregnant? "

" yeah. sorry if you're upset or disappointed- "

" darling, i am quite the opposite. i'm extremely excited, i'm just nervous about the fact that i'm a gang leader. it's dangerous out here for a child, i wouldn't want anything happening to her. "
