He's A Monster (She's A Monster Short Sequel) [COMPLETED]

Chapter LII

MINA'S POV

So, he's proposing to me even though we're arranged.

His smiles are making me guilty and I hate it. I don't even know why I still have some hatred for him after all this time. After all he's done to me, how can't I be mad? I mean, it is a long time ago, but what he did is really terrible. He made me believe that he loves me even though he just faked it.

"Jimin," I called him. "Will you still marry me even if we're not arranged?" I asked him and he made a nod right away. Don't get me wrong. I'm not that mad at him anymore unlike before. I'm still disappointed at what he did in the past. I just want to confirm his feelings because I don't trust him that much yet. "Why?" I asked him.

He held my resting hand on the table and took the ring. He held it between his fingers and leveled it to his face. "My love for you never changed." He answered simply. He lifted my hand and inserted the ring on my finger. "It will never change. I was right. You're really my greatest downfall and I am so glad and and grateful that it's you."

"I appreciate that," I said and sighed. "But promise me that you'll answer me truthfully now."

"I won't keep a single secret from you." He said. He really sounded certain that he will do that; that he won't ever lie to me, but it still gave me what if's. It still made me nervous and worried.

"Tell me," I paused and looked at his eyes to see if he's telling me the truth. "Did you love Dahyun?" I asked him. Maybe he did not see my question coming. Maybe he still thinks that it will be about me, but I want to know about him now that we just met again.

It was long before he answered, but he gave me an expected answer. "Yes, I did love her." He gulped. I actually don't want to hear why because I believe that loving someone does not require a reason.

"You said that I taught you how to be brave, am I right?" He nodded. "And Seulgi taught you to prioritize. Sana taught you to love again and Dahyun taught you what real love is." I can feel that he's tensed just by holding his hand. His pulse is getting faster and faster when I touched his wrist. "Will you fight for love?"

"I will." He said with not hesitance in his voice. "You taught me how to brave." He repeated and smiled wider. You're not as brave as you think, Jimin. You are not.

"Then, why did you let Dahyun leave if you love her?" His smile faded gradually and he failed to answer me right away. "You managed to propose to her even though you know that you are arranged, but why did you want to part from her when you knew that it was me whom you're going to marry?" I asked him.

"Because..." he trailed. "...it was you." He answered in a low voice. "I lost you once and I will not lose you again. You're with me already, so I don't want you to go away."

"Even if it means hurting someone that loves you more than I do?"

"Yes."

"What if I won't love you?"

"W-Well," his voice cracked. "I don't believe in that, Mina." He chuckled. "You almost fell for me and it's not impossible for you not to do that again." I took my hand from him and leaned on my chair.

"Jimin." I called him. "Go back to Korea."

His expressions changed immediately, "W-What? Why?"

"I want you to settle things with Dahyun before you marry me." I sighed. "I want you to talk to her and tell her whatever you need to say. You will only come back here and make up with me once again if you're done settling everything with her. Do you get me?" To be honest, I am somehow lonely for Dahyun. Yes, she was the one who broke up with him because of me, but he let her go as if she meant nothing to him. If he loved her, he should've done something. He should've explained to her before he went to me. I think it's unfair for Dahyun.

"Mina..." he called me. "I don't know what to say."

"Say yes. Say you'll do that. Think that you will do that for me." I am tired of playing mad at him, so I think it's time to stop now. I must bury all the hatred he gave me two years ago. Besides, it's already in the past. I have to focus on what's in front of me right now.

Oh, I just hope Jimin would do that.

I did not want to say good bye to him at the airport since I'm busy with work, so I gave him my good byes before he heads to the airport. I had Minhyun drive him there, so he won't spend money in calling a cab or anything.

"Take care." He cupped my face.

"No kiss good byes." I warned him before he can even plant a kiss on my forehead, so he laughed and tucked the strands of my hair behind my ear instead.

"Mina," he called me before going. "When we get married, I want us to live in Seoul. I want us to start over again."

"I have work here." I said.

"We'll take care of that in the future, but I really want us to go back to Seoul and have have a peaceful life." He smiled sincerely before fleeing. He just waved his hand until he vanished from my eyes.

"He's a good man after all." Tiffany unnie said. "You should keep him." She patted my shoulder and went back inside the unit.

"I might." I whispered.

DAHYUN'S POV

"Mr. and Ms. Kim, please choose your cake's flavor." Once Seulgi unnie said that, I brought the plates of cake slices to this couple. Since it's my free time from school, I'm helping unnie with her work. She's a wedding organizer and she needed some help with her shop since Sorn unnie is not around. Well, Sorn unnie is back in Thailand after graduating. I heard that they're back in their country for good to help their parents there. Besides, Bambam oppa is planning to have a wedding with his long-time girlfriend.

The couple had a taste of the cakes and decided the flavor, so I wrote it down. We were busy talking with the couple when I heard a phone ring from my pocket, so I excused myself from them and answered it without looking at the caller ID.

"Hello?" I asked.

"Dahyun," I got goosebumps all over my body when I heard Jimin's voice. "Can we please meet?" He asked. I did not know what to answer him because there's a part of me that wants to while the other half doesn't want. "Where are you right now? I'll meet you there."

"I'm working." I answered softly. I don't want to show him that I'm still hurt or bitter from what he did to me in the past because it will just complicatr everything. "I can't meet you today."

"Then, how about tomorrow?"

"Why do you want to see me?" Are you going back to me? Did you say no to the arrangement? Will you ask me to stay with you again? Were you rejected by Mina? I don't want to assume anything, but I can't help it.

"I wanted to say something to you."

"Why don't you say it on phone?"

"It needs to be personal." I sighed in defeat. I told him to meet me tomorrow morning at Mnet University's gate before I go to my class. Thankfully, he agreed to do so.
