Citrus and Wine | Jung Jaehyun

Chapter 29 (finale)

"Y/n y/l/n, the light of my heart, the love of my life—my soulmate, will you marry me?" he asked, and you dropped to your knees, embracing him as you cried on his shoulder, he copied your action and his tears wetted your dress.

"Jaehyun I-" you started and felt him stiffen against you when you didn't answer. "I married Doyoung." He grabbed your shoulders and pushed you to look at you with wide eyes.

"What?"

"I'm just kidding! Yes! I will marry you!" He started sobbing, his face contorted in an ugly way, but he was still beautiful in your eyes. People started cheering when he hugged you by the waist and started professing his love for you once more.

"I can't believe you said yes!" He cried.

"Why would I say no? I love you!" You cupped his cheeks and chuckled while you wiped his tears with your thumbs.

"I am so sorry I pushed you away..." he kept on crying.

"Yah! Stop crying, you look ugly." He sobbed harder. "Jaehyun, stop."

"I can't, I don't know what's wrong." He sobbed-laughed.

You lifted his chin with your finger and connected your lips, louder cheers erupted from the people around.

"My knees hurt." You heard him say and you giggled.

"You're such an old man, wow." He laughed and helped you stand up with him.

"Put the ring on!" You heard Mark yell. You turned and looked at him. "What? He's taking too long!" You turned back to Jaehyun who was hysterically patting himself.

"Did you-"

"I lost the ring." He whispered. "Y/n I lost it!"

"No, you didn't, it's in your coat smartass." Your friend yelled.

"Mark!"

"Sorry, I'm just trynna help." He said.

"Excuse him, he's a little drunk," Maria said making everyone laugh.

"Jaehyun, I don't need a ring, I just want you." You reassured.

"Oh, babe, I know-" he stopped. "Found it." He smirked at you.

"Oh, thank God."

"I thought you didn't-"

"I love you." You put your index finger to his lips to shush him, and he laughed. He grabbed your hand softly and put the ring on.

"Alright! Let's get it!" You heard your drunk friend say, he must've gotten drunk during Jaehyun's speech cause he was pretty sober before.

Jaehyun brought your hands to his face and pressed gentle kisses to your knuckles.

"I love you, so much." He said. "I also have a surprise for you..." he snuck you out of the party and walked you home.

The apartment you lived in was a block away from the cafe. He held your hand during the whole way there.

"I'm so happy," he said.

"If you decorated my house... how did you know I was going to say yes?" His ears got red and he looked away.

"I didn't. If you said no, there was someone who was going to take everything down before you got home."

"You are... unbelievable." You laughed and entered your apartment, it was just as you left it this morning. "Oh my God, I love it!" You said, and he looked at you unamused.

"The surprise is in your room. Why am I marrying you, again?" He asked.

"Shut up." You chuckled.
