Rainbow Life | NCT Jaehyun [Edited]

Chapter 27

The dinner has ended for a moment already. Now we are outside walking around since Mrs. Jung suggest Jaehyun to walk me around. We're at the garden area, walking side by side, hands holding as always.

" Aren't you cold? " Jaehyun asked, filled with concerns in his tone. It's getting colder each day since winter is coming soon.

" Of course- "

" Let's go back inside then. " he said then tried to pull me back to the house.

" N-no. No I'm not finished talking yet! " I said, grabbing his hand tightly, trying to stop him. " It's cold but it's not THAT cold okay? Beside, I have you so it doesn't matter to me. Or are you cold? Then..we'll go back- "

" It's okay. I have you with me here so it also doesn't matter to me. " he said then give me a flirty wink.

" Brat. " I said then punching his forearm.

" But you love me~ " he said while putting his arms around my shoulder and tighten it. And I just giggle after that because he's not wrong.

The garden in his house is pretty big. There are many kind of flowers and big tree. There are also plenty of bench around too.

" Come and sit here. " he said then pull me down on the bench to sit beside him.

" Aren't you supposed to walk me around? Why do we have to sit here? "

" What do you want to watch? There's nothing special anyway. Just me is enough. "

" Urg you cheesy brat, just stop it! " I said then playfully pinch his cheeks.

" Hahahahaha fine. " he paused for a few minutes while staring at the stars up in the dark shy. " Time passed by so fast, isn't it? It's been almost a year since we first met. "

" True. " I giggled. " Remember that time you called me idiot when I'm about to go back home by myself again? Hehe I won't be able to forget it. " I said while fake smiling then give him a dead glare.

" Yeah because you're really an idiot. " he scoffed while playing with my fingers.

" But you're calling a STRANGER an idiot! "

" Yeah yeah blame me for being so honest with my words. "

" Tch. Fine, but thank to you though. " I poked his shoulder. " And months later, you become someone who's really important to me. Life's really work in mysterious way huh. "

" Talking about that, I'm suddenly thinking of something, like, your diary? " he said then wriggles his eyebrows playfully.

" You're bringing that up again! It's so embarrassing!! "

" Noo but I thought you really had something more to tell me face to face? "

" It just.. " I sighed before continue. " My life has been so rough since I turned 15, you know, it was never easy for me. The only thing that keep me going is father and grandma. Besides them, nothing really make me excited or happy anymore. Our family's situation before Mrs. Jung show up is really complicated, but I don't talk about that anymore. What matter is that we're happy now. And you took a lot of parts regarding my happiness so I have to thank to you. I don't know if you know it but your actions towards me since the start made me feel so warm, safe and being care for, in which it's all new to me because no one else besides my family did that. "

" I see. " he smiled then pulled me into his embrace and hugs me tightly. " I promise you I'll try my best to make you happier. I'll be someone who you can depend on for a really long time, can I say, forever? "

" Mm? Forever? Sounds great to me. " I giggled. " I'll do the same to you, Jaehyun. Let's try our best together, we still have a long way to go. "

" As long as I have you, I will always be happy. " he said while rubbing my forearm, keeping me warm.

" You're being cheesy again. " I mumbled.

" That's the truth. I really couldn't believe that we came this far together. "

" I also felt grateful of what had happened between us before, no, it's not like I want to go back to that chaotic moment but that's what makes us become closer and stronger. "

" You know what? you successfully changed my mind. "

" What's on your mind before? " I asked him.

" Nothing much.. just, can I say I don't believe in love anymore? Yeah, that's what I thought. I felt so hopeless after got cheated on by own my first love. Sounds tragic right? Ah I shouldn't talk about it at all. "

" No don't be like this! You can talk to literally everything. " I said while cupping his cheeks. " Also, the past is in the past. You've gone through such a heartbreak at young age. You're stronger that you thought okay? "

" Haha you think so? "

" Yes! "

He says nothing after then started straightening his posture and turn around right in front of me.

" Im Yerin, You know what? You.. are really crazy. " he said slowly while smiling in amusement.

" What???! " yeah I know I am but no need so say it in front of my face like this omg

" I mean, you've changed the cold stone Jaehyun a lot, don't you think this is kinda crazy? " He said then chuckles. " But let's just get straight to the point shall we? Listen, I'm not that good at this but I like you so much. Would you be my girlfriend? "

Ha, this question finally came out from his mouth. It took me a lot to not jump around and screams like an idiot after hearing that.

" Hmmmm I kinda expected something more than that. Isn't it supposed to be something really a romantic confession like in dramas? " I asked playfully while trying to contain my smile.

" What- I told you I'm really suck at this- " his face looks funny but I can't stand it any longer. I immediately interrupted his sentence my pressing my lips onto his. We kissed until we both are almost out of breath before separating but he's still holding me close.

" I'm just joking! " I said while giggling.

" Ohhhhhh I can see that you're getting braver each day, Im Yerin. " he said, smirking.

" So are we going to be a couple officially yet, mister! "

" Of course! I was worrying you're gonna say no or whatever. Sorry If I'm overthinking."

" Ahh so you're doubting me now? After all the dates we went together? I'm so sad to hear that.. " I said, sulking. " But are you serious Jaehyun? You know being my boyfriend is not easy, I could be really moody, I eat a lot and always want to taste every new food in town and I'll get sad if you don't give me the amount of attentions I need and- "

" I'm serious. "

" Don't get bored of me later okay? " I said then dive into his embrace and hugs him again.

" Sounds impossible. " he said then laying his cheek on top of my head.

" Okay, Let's see about that then. Be your girlfriend~ " I give him a peck on his cheek after that.

From a stranger that helped me, to the guy who being spied on by me, then to the guy that I fall for from the very first time, he's finally mine at last. It still feel like a dream sometimes because it's too good to be true.

This is such a special day for me. I finally have one more special person that I can depend on when things goes wrong, that I can put all my trust on and give all the love that I have for him.

Maybe this life is not bad or even get worse as I thought it would be months ago.

" I love you. "

" I love you too, Jung Idiot. "
