It was one cloudy afternoon in Hongdae and Tae and Lisa decided to walk around the streets. The cherry blossoms look like pink crystals falling from heaven. Lisa looks like a little kid trying to catch a single petal. Taehyung is just silently watching his girl, with a small glint of smile on his face.
Lisa halted when she saw a band singing along the street. She looked at Tae with meaningful eyes. Tae smirked and shook his head. "Nope." He spat.
Lisa immediately pouted. "Please?" She pleaded and put her palm on her face and playfully wiggled her eyebrows. Tae shook his head again, this time, in amazement. How can I resist this woman? He asked to himself.
"You're gonna pay for this." He said to her and started walking towards the band. He asked them if he could sing a song while Lisa is busy taking her phone out to record her man.
When she looked in front, Tae is already holding a microphone and a familiar song filled the place. The people cheered for him.
"When the visions around you
Bring tears to your eyes
And all that surrounds you
Are secrets and lies"
Lisa smiled while holding her phone. It's their favorite song. It started when Taehyung made her listen to NSYNC songs and Lisa instantly fell in love with them.
"I'll be your strength
I'll give you hope
Keeping your faith when it's gone
The one you should call
Was standing here all along"
Aside from the fact that the song is popular around the world, Taehyung once confessed to her that he really relates to it. His feelings, his emotions, everything he wanted to say to Lisa is in the song so it really means something.
"And I will take you in my arms
And hold you right where you belong
Till the day my life is through
This I promise you"
He promised her that he would marry her one day. He tells her that everyday, every night. And Lisa could feel his utmost sincerity everytime they make love.
"I've loved you forever
In lifetimes before
And I promise you never
Will you hurt anymore"
Standing in front of many people is not a new experience for Kim Taehyung for he and his group is known for being the most notable stars worldwide. But today, it's different because Lisa is just right across him, intently watching him. It's always different whevener he's with her. It's always different when she's around. Sometimes he couldn't help but think that she has casted a spell on him to be this in love and crazy over her.
"I give you my word
I give you my heart
This is a battle we've won
And with this vow
Forever has now begun"
The moment Lisa entered his life, he knew. It's like a trap. When he told her he's gonna marry her someday, she proposed that it is the song that should be played on their wedding day. She made her promised him that and he doesn't have any plans on breaking that promise.
Just close your eyes
each loving day
Lisa's eyes widened when she saw Taehyung slowly walking towards her. The mic is still on his hand. She took a step backwards. He's gonna make her sing. That's for sure! This is the payback he's talking about. Damn it!
And know this feeling won't go away
Every word I say is true
When Tae reached her place, Lisa is ready to throw hands at him when he suddenly folded his one knee until it fell to the ground. She froze. Literally froze.
This I promise you
When the song ended, that's when Tae started talking. He looked up at Lisa who's covering her mouth in awe.
"Lalisa Manoban, you and I both know we've been in this relationship for years now. God knows how much struggles we have faced and breakthroughs we have made. It's been God-knows-how-long since we became as a couple and I think this is the best time to ask you this. I'd be the happiest person in the entire universe if you'll just let me have your heart forever. Let me spend my whole life with you..." Tae looked down for a while, trying to get rid of the tears pooling in his eyes. He looked up just so his teary eyes could welcome hers.
"Marry me." He finally said and slid the ring that has a diamond at the center and embroided with smaller diamonds around it.
Lisa made him stand up and she, once again, admired how someone could be this beautiful. She couldn't believe that she even has the time to think about that right now! In this situation! Damn!
She cupped his face. "You already have my heart from the very beginning. I just have to know if you want to let me have yours too." She smiled.
He smiled back at her. "I'd willingly give you my everything. Everything. Just so you and our family can be happy."
"That's good to hear." She said and flashed a genuine smile. "I'll marry you, then."
They both smiled and embraced each other. They didn't have to say something to prove anything.
"I've been holding that ring for two years now." Tae, breaking the silence.
Lisa pulled out from the hug and looked at him, unbelievably. "Really?" She asked in shocked.
Tae smirked. "Yes. I'm glad you didn't embarrass me in front of those people, though."
And that's when she realized that a bunch of Koreans, and even tourists, have been recording them. She doesn't care. At all. It's just him and her that matter right now.
"They are our witness. You can't take back what you said or else you'll break their hearts." He said to her. She let out a small laugh and looked into his eyes.
"I love you..." She said, not breaking their eye contact.
He smiled. "I love you too. A lot." He replied and planted a soft kiss on her nose. He then rested his forehead on hers. Contentment washed over him. Just like that.
When he said he has no plans on breaking her heart, he meant it.
