I Make Him Smile

Chapter 5 - The Walk

I looked at Wonho. "If I'm dreaming, pinch me so I can wake up. Wait! No! If I'm dreaming I don't want to wake up!"
Wonho smiled. "I agree. I wouldn't want to wake up either."
Realizing the guys were still there I immediately turned red. Shoot! I need to pull myself together! Here I am acting like we are a couple again or something! I lift up my hand for a small wave and said "hi. . ." I put my hand down.
Minhyuk walks over and reaches for my hand, "Sheeeesh, Monbebe you are more beautiful than he said. Forget him come hang out with me."
Jooheon reached for my other hand. His dimples could be seen as he smiled, "No, Monbebe wants to come with me."
Wonho interrupts them both, "She has a name. It's y/n. She is not just any Monbebe. She is my Monbebe."
I was beginning to feel relaxed again until I heard those words. I was his? I could feel him gently taking my hand and pulling me closer to him. Whispering to me he said, "Let's go for a walk. I really feel we need to talk."

We left the others behind. I could hear them already laughing and joking with each other as we walked away. A family. That is what they are. I have always thought it, but to experience it in person is a completely different thing. It is so real, and it's love.
Pulling me back to reality I hear Wonho's voice, "I'm not sure what happened yesterday. I have never felt like that before. And then when we separated I missed you. I kept busy with the show. Afterwards I felt sadness because you weren't there. I couldn't message you. I wanted to see you at least one more time. How do you have such a strong hold on me so quickly? This is intense!"
I stopped and looked at him, "You have no idea what it was like for me when you became my bias." He smiled big.
"That word," he chuckled, "I like it from others. I kind of even like it from you. There are other words better suit for this though." He saw the look I was giving and replied, "Sorry, continue your story."
"Anywaaays, how you described it was the same for me. It was immediate and intense. When you came for me there was no going back. I was used to having biases. Heck, I'd even had other biases in Monsta X." He squinted as he looked at me, "It's the truth. But the more I got to know you the harder and more intense my feelings. I couldn't deny it one day. But then to meet you yesterday. That was an entirely different feeling."
He started walking again and sat down on a nearby bench. I walked towards him but stood a small distance away. "I don't understand what's going on," I said quietly.
"I don't either," he replied not looking at me.
I kneeled in front of him. "What do you want to happen?" I asked gently. This conversation had to happen for things to move forward. If it didn't, I would regret it for the rest of my life.

I put my hand under his chin and lifted his eyes to look at me. There were tears. My breath caught in my throat. I started looking even more intently into his eyes, hoping I could see the answers I was wanting, maybe even needing. The tears spilled over and ran down his cheeks. I reached to wipe them away. He grabbed my hand and pressed it to his cheek.
"Don't disappear. Don't go without answering my questions. Don't play with my heart, please." It was my turn to cry at those statements from him.
"I won't disappear. I can't and won't leave until everything is answered. I should say the same thing with my heart, don't hurt me."
We let our tears fall. I laid my head in his lap. He gently caressed my hair. He had no idea the pain that I had been through, and I didn't know his. We were from two completely different countries, two different cultures, spoke two different languages, the list could go on. But here were two hearts and two souls that needed each other.

After some time had passed and our tears had dried we stood up to walk again. We held hands like it was the most natural thing in the world, like he had been doing already for so long.
"Wonho, what type of relationship are you wanting from me?"
"I think you know."
"I think so too, but I need for you to say it."
Once again we stopped. Turning me to look at him, he took both my hands in his and laid them on his chest. "Y/n, I am not sure how this will work or if it will, but I need you to be my girlfriend. I'm not here long enough to do dates and to get to know you better. I cannot make some big elaborate thing to make it official. But, if you will accept me and this relationship the way it is for the time being, then please, y/n, will you be my girlfriend?"
My heart stopped. At least I think it did. This was the question I've always wanted to hear. And from him too! Breath y/n, breath! Answer him! Don't leave him hanging. He is more fragile than people realize. He is trusting you completely, so answer him already.
"Wonho! Yes! 100% yes!"
I saw his biggest smile yet! My heart felt so full and so happy! I wanted to tell the whole world! Omg! The world. He must have been thinking the same thing.
"Y/n, we can't tell people! Omg, I'm sorry. I didn't think about that before. I will understand if you want to back out."
"I'm not going anywhere. Besides, we need to get to know each right now. Can I at least tell Tanya and Charlie?"
"Yes, because we are going to have to tell the guys too."
"By the way, you should probably have my number. Or would you prefer my Kakao?"
"Kakao, it'll be free."

After finally exchanging information we walked back to find the guys. When we reached them Kihyun and Changkyun saw us first.
"I'm glad it's official," Changkyun said.
Wonho and I looked at each other. How did he know?!
"Be careful though," Kihyun said.
"Are you sure your not dreaming Wonho?" Shownu asked.

What?! Maybe this is a dream, but it's not my dream?
