I can't stand you

22 Jaebum

Waking up early was already hard for me, but waking up early and wiggling out of bed without Jinyoung noticing? 

Nearly impossible.  I eventually fell gracefully from the bed to floor and wiggled my way over to the stairs.  Standing tall I gripped the railing tightly, I could do this.

With shaky steps I forced my way up the stairs, slowly but surely.  After taking a few breaks it only took me 30 minutes to go up the 15 stairs. 

Once in the cafe I waited until I heard the door open and turned to smile at Jae.  I gave him money I had saved up through tips over the year earlier in the week and sent him to get a ring for me.  He handed me the small velvet box and patted my back.

"Good luck."  He whispered before leaving and locking the door behind him.

I took a deep breath and slowly walked into the kitchen.  Making a fresh batch of muffins I set 2 aside on a plate and placed two mugs of coffee on a table at the booth.

The booth I sat at when I happened to come in here nearly 2 years after losing contact with him. 

It only took about 5 minutes for Jinyoung to come stumbling up the stairs wide eyes and I couldnt help but chuckle.

"Hey babe."  I said and he glared.

"You scared me!!  God."  He said covering his heart before sitting across from me.

"You scared the shit out of me just to make breakfast?"  He asked taking a sip of the coffee.

"There's more."  I said happily and he chuckled.

"Oh I'm sure."  He said with a smile.

Humming we ate the breakfast in a rather pleasant silence until I spoke up.

"It's crazy that 4 years ago today I hit on you at the lemonade stand."  I said watching Jinyoungs ears gain a pink hue.

"You were and still are a total cheesy flirt."  He muttered, shyly picking at his muffin.

"Mhmm."  I agreed smiling widely.

Moving I stood with a slight shake in front of Jinyoung and watched him widen his eyes and go to move to me but I shook my head.

Moving I slowly managed to get down on one knee and let out a shaky breath.  Pulling out the box I opened it and held it out in front of Jinyoung.

"Jinyoung will you marry me?"  I asked and the already silent shop only seemed to get quieter.

"Ja-Jaebum..." he gasped a hand going to cover his mouth.

"Yes... yes!"  He said quickly blinking away his tears while he fell to his knees across from me. 

I laughed loudly as I fell back to sit, I was tired, exhausted but I was happy.

Shakily I took the ring and put it on his finger and I looked up with a wide grin.

"God I can't live without you."  I said and Jinyoung laughed.

"God I can't stand you."  He said before connecting our lips.

Breaking apart I laughed.

"That's my line."  I smirked as he smacked my chest.

This is the end.  I've had a lot of fun writing this story although it proved to be a challenge for me.  Still I'm proud of it and I hope you enjoyed it!!!
