Two Worlds Apart, Connected With One Soul [✔]

Chapter 51:*continuation from previous chapter*

In our room, Tae-hyung again asked me if I liked his family and I told him that I did and that he was right about the fact that I should not have stressed so much. He then gave me a hug and went to lay in bed. I followed him there and asked him after some time:

"Why did you not tell me that your siblings spoke English? That would have reassured me!"

"Honestly speaking, I did not know. The last time I talked to them, they were still learning. I did not know that they could speak English." he confessed sadly.

I felt sorry for him and gave him a kiss on his cheek, then I said: "I'm sorry. I didn't want to hurt you."

"It's okay." he calmly replied and took me in his arms.

I was about to fall asleep when he started talking again: "You know... I wanted to ask you something for some time now, but I never got the courage to do it."

"What do you want to tell me? Don't be afraid. You can tell me everything, you know?" I tried to reassure him.

"Yeah... hmm... okay... well..." he was stammering and this was irritating me.

I then exclaimed: "Ohh, come on, tell me? You're driving me crazy!"

"I want to know what do you think of marriage?!" he finally stated.

I was shocked and took some time to pull myself back together before replying: "What?" and then added: "You're seriously considering that?"

"Yeah... why? Not you?" he asked, panicked.

"Yeah... I mean no! I'm still too young for that, you understand?"
I was feeling uneasy with that conversation.

"Yeah I know. But me... I'm approaching my 30s... I want to consider settling down now." he was looking at me sadly.

"So that's why you made me meet your parents?"

"Yeah" he sighed.

"Listen... I'm not ready for this and I didn't even introduce you to my parents." I reminded him.

"I know... and I know that you're afraid of what they could say but I think it's time for you to tell them. We've been dating for 2 years now. Till when are you going to hide this from them?"

He was right. I had to tell them but I did not have enough courage to do so.
"Okay... I'll see what I can do. But I'm also really afraid about it... What if they don't let me marry you?" I replied, concerned about what might happen.

"It's okay. Remember what I said: No one and nothing can separate us!😌 Really, we went through so much together. You and I know how hard that long-distance relationship is! It's not your parents who will separate us now!"

"Yeah... you're right..." I sighed and later added:
"But let's say that they accept, how will we do to stay with each other? I mean the way it is now is too hard. I can't spend my whole life like this. I can't come to Korea since I may get my dream job in Germany and you can't come there because you have everything here!"

"You know that you won't have to work if you marry me, right? So you can come with me here."

"Yeah but I want to work. I have the opportunity to work where I always wanted to... and also, not working seems like I've made all these studies for nothing..."

"Okay but why are you overthinking so much? It's not for now, stop worrying... and yeah, if you want, after we get married, you can still stay here for like two years and then you come to Korea... Anyway, we will find a way... we always do!"

I felt like he was trying to avoid arguing with me so I just nodded and we then fell asleep...
