Broken

75

The, now, engaged couple decided to hang around and listen to some more music, but Jihyo still had more plans, and they needed to move soon, and Dahyun had been spaced out since the proposal happened, so it was easier to proceed with the plans without much resistance. When she came to, the pale woman noticed she was already sitting in the car, heading somewhere that wasn't their place, with her fiancé humming happily and tapping the wheel to the beat of whatever was playing on the radio.

"What are we doing at The Forks?"

"We are staying at The Inn tonight, and I'm taking you to Danny's tomorrow. I know you love to have breakfast there."

"What? I love that inn!" Dahyun beams. "It's so nice and quiet, and the river is right next to it, and it's so nice!"

"I know you like there, love." Jihyo chuckles. "I wanted to be free with you tonight. It IS a special night for us, and I wanted to do something nice for you."

"Im Jihyo, you are the most special part of my life, and anytime I'm with you is more than nice enough."

"Thank you, hun, but I think we needed tonight to ourselves."

"Are you propositioning me?" Dahyun caught up to what her fiancé was trying to hint at.

"Maybe." Jihyo shrugs.

"I'm sorry to say, but I am engaged." Both women laugh.

"Oh, she must be a very lucky lady."

"I'm the lucky one. Well, if everything works out tonight, I mean."

"How so?"

"I don't know, but a lap dance would be nice."

"I'll see what I can do." Jihyo says before getting out of the car to open the door for Dahyun.

They check-in fine, ad Dahyun is surprised about the small bag Jihyo had produced, apparently, their pajamas and clothes for the next morning. Their night went really well, and Dahyun was very thankful that they were at a hotel, having their first time with the boys in the other room wouldn't have been very ideal, there was also the fact that one of sad boys was their ex. As soon as they entered their room, Jihyo put up the 'Don't disturb' sign and unplugged the landline, then proceeded to turn off their phones and open the champagne bottle she had ordered beforehand.

The next morning, the entire floor knew Jihyo's name, and the receptionist looked like she was about to murder someone when they checked out. Rumor has it, the other guests were calling all night long, demanding something to be done about the exorcism being performed on their floor, and, having disconnected their landline, the front desk couldn't have contacted them, the manager had tried going to their room, but gave up on any plans of stopping the couple when the elevator opened at their floor.

Breakfast was another treat on itself, Dahyun loved breakfast, it was her comfort food. Jihyo would always take her out for breakfast whenever she was feeling down, and Danny's was the place for them, a restaurant that served their go-to meal 24/7. It was close enough to the inn to go on foot, and it was always nice to walk by the river in the morning..... Not that Dahyun could manage much walking on that specific morning, but she went along anyways.

On their way back home, the couple was content, very happy to have taken this new step on their relationship. Dahyun did think of something that hadn't occurred to her until then. They were already engaged, but she wanted to know, the only way to do that was asking.

"Hyo?" She gets a hum as an answer. "I just thought about this, but, why did you pick yesterday?"

"You don't really remember, do you?"

"Remember what, exactly?"

"Yesterday was the day we met. Remember the time Chae went to the hospital and we tried to talk through our video-calls?"

"Wait, are you serious? Yesterday was the day? Jihyo, you are a very hard woman to not fall in love with." Dahyun exclaimed and started kissing her fiancé's hand (Jihyo was still driving, so she had to wait for the next red light to kiss her properly).

"I do try my best. And you make it worth the effort." The older woman answers shyly.

"Okay, I'm really counting on Sungsung and Chris not ditching their saturdate, and having already left when we get back home."

"I'm sure they will keep their schedule. It's the only time Chris is allowed to not be studying, there is no way he is missing that chance." Jihyo answers in a chuckle.

"Good, because our neighbours are about to learn my name AND how to spell it. You are the best wife I could have ever asked for."

"We aren't married yet, though?"

"We are going to the courthouse on monday, don't worry."

"As much as I'd love to, I still want our anniversaries to mean things, and there is a date I would like our wedding to happen on."

"Okay. But you are making it harder and harder to not just elope."

"Glad to know. But work on that self control, because I intend to make it harder and harder." Dahyun just groans at that.
