Unrequited Love | Mystic Messenger X Jumin (Under Edit)

Part 5: "Are we engaged?!"

During Sophie's stay in Brazil, she ignores Jumin completely. She does not reply to his text nor his calls. Jumin tried to call her but could not get through her. It made him furious. "Assistant Kang, is this the right hotel? Why can't I reach her?" Jumin questions Jaehee..

"Yes, Mr. Han... She must be asleep right now. It's almost 11.00 pm. What is the urgency for you to call her directly? I can call her to you... " Jaehee insist to help him.

"Please ask her to call me, there is something I need to reconfirm with her..." He made up a false excuse to avoid Jaehee suspicion.

It frustrated him as he could not reach Sophie. She has not contacted him for almost two weeks and it makes him worried. She only contacted Jaehee to update on her progress. Later that noon, Jaehee went into Jumin's office.

"Mr.Han,I called Sophie, and she said that she will get to you later..." Jaehee speaks.

For the whole evening, Jumin was waiting for her call, but still, she did not call him. It frustrated him and he had asked Jaehee to book an air ticket for him. Her boss' eagerness for the decision surprised Jaehee. It makes her curious about Jumin's odd behaviour, but still, she followed her boss's order. However, later that night, Sophie eventually calls Jumin.

"I had asked Jaehee to cancel your ticket... There's no need for my boss to be here. It makes me look like I am not a competent worker. Plus, it will start a rumour... I'll get back in two days... We'll talk after I get back..." Sophie urge Jumin to stop acting selfishly as it may cause a problem.

"Okay then, we'll talk after you come home... I'll wait for you" Jumin feels happy to finally hear her voice.

------------

In two days, Sophie returned from her trip. Jumin greeted her by himself at the airport. He was thrilled to see her after two weeks. "Is it okay for you to come and get me? What if the reporters saw you..?" She is concerned about Jumin publicity.

"No, it's fine. I miss you..." He smiles from ear to ears.

He sends her off to her apartment and promised to pick her up the next morning. Sophie goes to sleep early that night as she is tired from her trip. Jumin was frustrated again as she did not call him.  On the next morning, Jumin picks her up as he promised on the day before.

"It is not very nice if people see us like this... They will start nasty rumours..." She feels insecure.

"Don't worry, they wouldn't..." Jumin keeps positive thoughts, and he does not mind if people find out about them.

----------

As they reached the office building, they both walk to separate ways, resuming their work. Not for so long, Jumin called her to his office. He invites her for lunch but she refused. "Okay then, how about tonight? Dinner treats with me" He smiles with hopeful eyes.

"We just ate together yesterday... People will become suspicious if they see us together too often..." She wants to avoid any nasty rumours. Jumin is clingy. He wants to be with her all the time.

"Please. I have something important to tell you..." He sounds desperate.

"You can just tell me right now..." She wanted to decline his invitation.

"It's a surprise... Please..." He pleads. It took her a while before she answered. Jumin's hopeful expression is one of the reason she agreed.

"Okay then..." She answered.

"Which one do you want to try? this one or this one?" He shows her the choice of the restaurant. He is very particular about what he will eat.

"It's fine with me, you can choose any..." She let him decide as she is not a choosy person

"You should go home early, wears something amazing, and don't be late for our date tonight" He urged her to prepare for tonight's dinner.

"But, I thought you would have wanted to discuss on the Butterfly's paperwork..." She confused. He seems to ignore her as he is immersed in his phone.

"Okay then, I'll ask assistant Kang to book this one" He smiles and gave her a passionate kiss that shows how much he is in love with her.

"Now you can go..." He gave her a warm smile. Sophie walks towards the door and confused by Jumin's act.

"This should be only for the two of us okay? Do not ask assistant Kang to join you... " He warned her with a smile.

------------------

Later that night,  in that fancy restaurants, Jumin is patiently waiting for her. He recalls the first day he met her. Everything about him has changed after they met. How time flies so fast, it has been a year since they dated. Jumin confirmed she is the one for him and decided on proposing to her. As he was reminiscing about the old days, Sophie arrives. She was wearing a beautiful evening dress. The waitress guided her to Jumin's table. The table was filled with roses, red and pink.

"Isn't this great? the decoration.., do you love them?" He asks her.

"I do, but, what's with the decorations?" She thinks it is too much for the decoration when they were just having a regular dinner.

After they had finished their dinner, a piece of romantic music filled in the air. It surprised Sophie as it is her favorite music. Jumin was smiling suspiciously while putting one hand on Sophie's hand.

"What? Why are you smiling like that? You make me feel uncomfortable..."  She looks at the violinist at the stage.

"Sophie, I want you to know that I am so happy to be here with you..." Jumin whisper.

"Well, I am happy too..." She smiles unhesitantly.

"Are you? Then you should cherish your entire life with me. I want you to marry me..." He let out the words. She is stunned. It surprised her and makes her speechless.
