Married

2. Proposal

The next day, I woke up to my phone ringing...

- Oh, yes, babe, I'm coming soon, don't worry.

- Babe? Who was that? – My date asked

- My boyfriend. Why?

- Your boyfriend??

- Yeah.

- So you're telling me... Were you going to play with my sister? Did you plan on just give her false illusion of love and meanwhile keeping your lover a side and then you would just laugh. Were you planning on making fun of our family?

- Taekwoon, it's not like that (It kind of is). You see, I was mad at him yesterday and he just apologized and actually it was a stupid fight... I didn't mean to hurt your family or anything, but c'mon she was coming to a blind date, what did you expect?

- I'm so glad I came instead of her. Now I know, I'm definitely not allowing you to get any way close to my sister!

I went to see the love of my life: Ken and I were friends and then we were dating and then even against my parents, we became lovers. He was not a chaebol, in fact he was no way like the guys of our social circle, that's why I loved him.

People were talking behind my back, I was so used to it. So I like guys, why do you care? Then I saw them

- Let go of me

- Why? We all know you are willing to be taken... or should I buy you some drinks first?

- Let go – He was kicking and making fists to try and escape the man

- He said let go of him! – I pulled the guy and punched him. Then I turned to see if the guy I rescued was okay... It was no other than Jung Taekwoon.

- What? Came to pick up your boyfriend? Hahaha – The man said laughing and walking away – Fine, have fun. I don't like to fight over hoes.

That's when I noticed my screw up... Because of me, now Jung Taekwoon was being mocked like this... Mother had shown me the pictures... People saw us having fun together but the worst part was when he left the hotel angry at me... the hotel where we spent the night together... If it had been him with anyone but me... But since it was me... the "not so secretly gay" dude...

- You better do us a favour and stay away from Taekwoon – the older girl said, she was one of Taekwoon's sisters.

- Nothing happened, people like to talk because they have mouths on their faces.

- But still, is better if you two stay far away from each other.

Some time after that, men dating other men was being more socially accepted since marriage was legalized... However, mother was still against my relationship with Ken because he was not "one of us"... To make things worse, Ken was not making things easier by acting all flirty with almost everyone... I was getting tired of this shit.

I thought about Taekwoon... I thought about how unfair life was... I thought maybe I could at least make things better for him. To clean his reputation. I could marry Taekwoon.

So I proposed. Our families had been friends for decades and now... we had formalized our alliance. Taekwoon was now my fiancé, no one could lay a finger on him. I was saving him, right? Even if I didn't deserve Taekwoon...

- I'm only doing this to save my family's reputation, you know? If we get married, then I won't be seen as the black sheep that ruined

- Taekwoon, don't talk like that... you know... I like you better when you... - I went close to him and tried to kiss him but he stopped me with one finger on my lips.

- Not yet – he said making all the crowd (that was failing at hiding their presence) scream and fangirl - I'm not an easy guy.

Screw Ken!

Somehow I could only think of how lucky I was going to be having this man as my husband, this man only a few years older than me...

But... of course, he made it very clear that this was just a contract signed to secure our families' reputation. He even said I shouldn't expect anything from him because he knew I still had my secret boyfriend somewhere. He said I better be careful to hide it so that none would know or I could ruin it all...

Ken came back to me and yes, I went back to enjoy what he offered so honestly... But... there was something wrong... I couldn't stop thinking on that forbidden fruit called Jung Taekwoon, the one that was going to be right next to me for life but that I couldn't have...

- I already broke up with him for good! - I said with a huge smile on my face

- Really? Don't mess with - Taekwoon was not buying it at all 

- Hyung... I really want to try and be happy... Can't you... try?

I tried to seduce him... After all it was still our honeymoon...

- Are you 100% sure?

- Taekwoon ... - I kissed his neck – We belong together...

His smile was the most precious sight in this world.
