Chapter 6: The Start of Forever

Woah, I can't believe it. It's been 2 years since Joonhyung and I got married.

We got married 5 years after graduation, after I finally realized that I wanted to spend the rest of my days with him. I wanted to have a family. I wanted to experience how it is being a mother. I wanted to be a wife. That's when I realized that the only person I'd want to do those things with is—

Joonhyung.

As of now, I'm still doing what I love— weightlifting. Joonhyung and I won tons of gold medals, our home looks like a gold factory.

Actually, I answered his proposal a few weeks after he asked. Our families wanted to have the wedding immediately, since they both support our decision and we got their blessings.

However, for Joonhyung and I, we thought that it wasn't the right time to get married just yet. Our careers were still kicking off. We recently got accepted into the National Team and just started to kick many foreign butts in our respective sport.

Also, we didn't have the financial means to have a wedding just yet. Our parents offered to pay for our wedding but we declined. We wanted to be independent as much as possible.

That's why we got married 5 years after being engaged. Where we can finally afford our own wedding, our own house, and our own little family. We saved up for our own condo, and right now we're on hiatus as athletes, so we're both living our married life to the fullest.

Immediately after the Olympics, we called both of our families to meet up at my family's restaurant. They were a bit startled, I guess. But nevertheless, they agreed. 

After arriving in Korea, Joonhyung and I went to the restaurant together, where all of our loved ones, including our beloved friends, were sitting in one big table.

"Joonhyung-ah, Is there something wrong?" Joonhyung's aunt/mother asked him, and everyone agreed.

"Nothing's wrong, mom. It's just that.... Bokjoo and I have something to announce" He told everyone while looking at me.

Everyone was anticipating...

"We're engaged." and after that, all that I could hear were shouts of happiness.

As I opened up my eyes, I was greeted by the glorious morning sun, gazing right through our window. I tried to stretch my arms out but I felt someone's arms around my waist. I tried to move around a bit, but that grip only became tighter. Looks like I won't be winning today. 

I didn't want to wake him up so we stayed like this for a few more minutes until Joonhyung finally stirred from his sleep. He grunted as he slowly woke up, enough to make me giddy. I turned around to face him and as I did, he smiled at me while his eyes were closed. He showered me with kisses and I giggled. 

"Hey beautiful" Joonhyung remarked, "I could get used to waking up next to this view until I die". Right after he said that, I felt the blood rushing to my cheeks. I know, kinda peculiar, huh? We've been together for so long yet he still makes me feel this way. I should get used to this too, but he still makes me feel special. 

I covered myself with the sheets. "Hey, quit it." But deep down, I actually liked it. I've always liked it.

 "What do you mean quit it? Why would I when I know you love it so much?" He teased me.

"Stop getting  your panties in a twist, Mister. When did I say I like it?" I shot right back at him. Most of the mornings were like this, us bickering like children.
