This Jerk (Jang Geun Suk Fanfic) ON-HOLD

Chapter 19

I started to walk away from him. I hear him calling out my name and everybody looking at me. My face turned so red, I had to run.

I was able to find a deserted alley way where he caught up to me.

"What the heck?" Was all he managed to say.

"I'm sorry." I was flustered.

"Do you not want me?" He asked. I can see the sadness in his eyes and I immediately hugged him tightly. He slowly wrapped his arms around me as well.

"It's not that! I'm just.... shy." I whispered. I heard him sigh in relief.

"Oh thank God!" He exclaimed. I broke off the hug and looked at his smiling face.
"I thought you hate me or something."

"I do!" I hit his arm. He scrunched his forehead together in confusion.

"What did I do??"

"Announcing a proposal out in the open like that! Surprising me, especially!" I told him.

"Ya, Miyeon-ah. Proposals tend to be a surprise. I don't know what you're on about."

"You're being mean again." I pointed at him. He put my hand down.

"No I'm not!"

"Yes you are!"

"No, you!"

"Me??" I exclaimed.

"I think I'm witnessing a fight?" I heard a voice behind me.

"Oh... Joongki." Geunsuk mumbled. I turned and saw Joongki holding a cup of coffee and waving at us.

"I was hearing some sort of proposal going on earlier and the girl declined and walked away. Did any of you witness that or...?" He asked. My face immediately went back to red. I swear, I might as well be a tomato for all the embarrassing things that happens to me. None of us said a word. Joongki chuckled and nodded.

"Well... congratulations." He simply said.

"Eh? She didn't even say yes." Geunsuk told him. Joongki gave out a hopeful look.

"Ooh. Does that mean I have a chance?" He asked jokingly. Geunsuk didn't seem to understand sarcasm and was walking towards him, fist raised. I pushed him back to where he was standing.

"Pabo-ya!! He was kidding." I defended.

"I-I knew that." He embarrassingly said.

"Then why didn't you say yes, Miyeon? You love him, don't ya?" Joongki asked and I nodded. Of course I did. He was a jerk that I fell for and that is definitely a sign of love, in my opinion.

"To be completely honest," I started. "I feel like it's not the right time."

"There's a proper time for that?" Geunsuk questioned and I nodded.

"Trust me, I was surprised when you asked me earlier. But... I totally believe in timing and earlier today, it wasn't it." I explained.

"Then when?? And how will you know when the right time will be?" Geunsuk kept asking. This guy talks too much.

"I dunno. But when it does, I'll feel it here." I touched my chest.

"Your boobs?" Joongki asked.

"PERVERT!" Me and Geunsuk yelled in unison. Joongki just laughed. Seems like we're a joke to him or something.

"My heart, you idiot!" I exclaimed. Geunsuk waved me off.

"Aish... too cheesy." I hit his arm again. He sighed as he pocketed the ring.

"Wow. I wonder what the media will say about that." Geunsuk said as he held my hand.

"Sorry. But I truly love you! Don't mistake that for me denying your proposal."

"I know, I know. The timing and feeling, blah blah." He sadly said. Joongki just smiled at us.

"You guys are cute. I bet that time will come soon. Anyways, I'm off. I'll see you around!" He waved at us as we waved back and he left. Geunsuk didn't say anything else so I just kissed him on the cheek. He looked at ne and gave me a small smile. To me, that's progress.

"I believe Joongki. It'll come soon. For now, let's enjoy us." I wanted to end in a positive note. He nodded and we started walking.

The rest of the way home was quiet. There were some small talks here and there when we stumble upon something interesting. But it wasn't as... bubbly as it normally is. I tightly held his hand when we arrived home. I stopped him and we stood at the front of the door.

"Are you mad at me?" I asked. He shook his head and fumbled with his keys. I took it away and he looked at me 

"I need to open the door." He said.

"And I need for you to tell me the truth!" I argued. "Are you mad at me or n-"

"I'm not mad, I'm just upset!" He started and sighed. "I...I'm scared of losing you and I want you now. I know it sounds selfish in my part but I just love you too much that-" I grabbed his face and kissed him on the lips. It must've taken him aback because I felt him tense up but he loosened in a few seconds. I broke off and smiled at him. His eyes were wide and it made me giggle. I took both of his hands and held it tightly.

"Here's my promise to you: I will marry you. Nothing's gonna take me away from you. You're the one I want to be with forever. But time will come, babe. It might be tomorrow, or the next week or next month! It doesn't mean I don't love you, Geun Suk-ah." I explained to him with all my heart. The smile he showed me was full of warmth and his eyes were starting to fill up with tears. I wiped it before it fell.
"Don't worry, ok?" He nodded and I opened the door for us. I locked the door and kissed him some more.
