Author's Note: This is the second ending.
"You should turn on your baby tree," Kyungil says, bringing over two mugs of hot cocoa from the kitchen.
I had just emerged from the bedroom after changing into my pajamas and was tying up my hair. "You just enjoy mocking my tree don't you?" I smile as I reach for the switch on my sad little excuse of a Christmas tree sitting on top of a table. It lights up and I notice a tiny wrapped box underneath it. I pick it up and bring it closer.
It reads: "To: My Love From: Your Kyungil"
I turn around and bump into Kyungil's strong, broad chest. He smiles as he takes the box from my trembling fingers.
"I've struggled over whether I should give this to you now or until Christmas day or even until I return. But, I'll leave it up to you. What do you think?"
"Wh—what's in it?" I stutter.
"It's...hopes, dreams, love, and a promise."
My mouth goes dry and I almost can't breathe.
"Y/N," his towering body begins to level with mine as he slowly kneels down before me.
I can't help covering my mouth and tears brim my eyes.
"Y-you'll have to open it," he says, his voice catching.
With shaking fingers I take the box from his hand and peel off the wrapping to reveal a velvet covered box. He holds out his hand as I place it back into his palm.
He stares up at me. His eyes are glossy, his cheeks rosy, and his tongue grazing his lips as he takes a deep breath and begins, "I never thought I would find someone to love and to be loved in turn. I'm so happy I found you. I know I'm leaving soon. But knowing I have you as my own would be all I need to know to get through being away from you. I promise all my love you," he pauses as he opens the lid on the box. "You just have say yes and be mine."
The tears pooling in my eyes brim over and cascade down my cheeks. I can't even look at the ring as his eyes draw me in to a whole new side of him. I bite my lip and smile, "Yes, Kyungil. Yes!"
He gets up and envelopes me into his chest. Hehugs me tightly against him and kisses me deeply.
Before I know it he lifts me into his arms and carries me to the back room where we confirm our love for one another.
