Arranged Marriage with Luhan

Actually

     The members laughed at the story I narrated and told them that I, myself, did not expect what had happened. I told them I supposed Luhan did not too, since he was slightly displeased yet happy about it.

     “Give him a good beating if you get to know that he planned this all along.” Chanyeol said and laughed. At the point of time, I bid goodbye and disconnected the video chat.

     I went outside and sat at the balcony with a light heart. There, I placed my gaze upwards. I had not stared at the stars for a while now, and I did think that this moment was the opportunity for me to do so. Knowing that the temperature and the atmosphere was just fine, I took a good night’s slumber at the bench I was sitting on.

     I woke up in the bed with a blanket on. I was sure that I did not wake up unconsciously and moved, since I had not encountered such thing. I was pretty curious with it, but I was thinking that it might be Luhan, actually.

     “I do think you’re wondering, but it is indeed I who brought you there.” Luhan stood by the door as I smiled and laid on my bed for a few seconds. I rose up immediately and requested him to proceed downstairs and eat.

     “What’s your plan?” I asked as we went down the stairs.

     “Fine house, good job, you, three.” He said as I laughed at the third word.

     “What do you mean by ‘three’?” I asked and wondered at last. He just smiled and stared at me.

     “Three cars.” He said as I answered him with a stare.

     “You’ll know.” He said as I nodded, still not understanding what was happening.

     “Probably three large soccer fields.” I mumbled as he smiled and nodded.

Our parents welcomed us as we went on the first floor. They were chatting very well as I could see, and I observed their friendships remained for several good years. I could see it in their eyes, and I  was hoping that I could have that relationship with the eleven, too.

     “So, when is the wedding day?” Luhan’s mother asked, bringing laughs from each and everyone in the room.

     “Not until we graduate mom.” Luhan teased and took a pancake from a plate.

    

....   ....

     Four years had passed since I graduated from the university and started managing our company but Luhan had never visited me in my office. It was rather queer, but I supposed he had his reasons. It was Christmas, and it was chilling outside. I did hope he would come and pick me up later in the evening, since I cannot move for even an inch due to the freezing temperature.

     “I am going to drop a few papers there. Don’t worry, I’ll pick you up later in the evening.” He said over the phone as I thanked him.

I waited for a few minutes before he came. He looked tired and exhausted.

     “Goodness, where did you come from? You look tired!” I shouted as he told me he was alright. There, he placed two large folders on my table and hugged me.

     “I have to go now. Review these first. They are urgent. I love you!” He shouted and left immediately.

     I wondered at his striking attitude, but I decided to continue with my work. I knew that he grew up a lot, and I knew that he would tell me if he could not hold things.

     There, I opened the folder up, only to see a picture of me and him together when we were still young. It was at the night market which we visited a few years ago with the members. There, I flipped through the next page and saw the pictures of the members together with the houses where we stayed at. The next page was when we were on our way to meet Clara Hilton. I did not know it was taken, of course, and it was probably because I was too bothered with the investigation we were taking on. The next pages went on and on, showing how we were bonded together.

     It ended very well, with a current picture of the two of us. I then opened the next folder. It was pretty small though, but its contents were really nice.

     The first page showed a floor plan with a small note saying: “This will be our future house. Still on construction!” He said as I took the last sentence for future questioning. I then flipped the next page. It revealed three cars of different brands. I supposed he wanted them for himself, since two of them were race cars. I turned to the next page, and it bore a map with different markings and another note saying: “We will visit this.”. I was pretty doubtful of this, since we might spend a lot of money. The next one was a large soccer field and a ball. He was saying that he wanted to play there with his kids. The last one was three short profiles with cartoon I.D. pictures. There were no specifications whether any one of them was a girl or a boy, but there was another note left.

     “Three kids.”

     There, I laughed as Luhan came to reveal himself. He was holding something behind him. I immediately stood up to embrace him. There, he knelt and gave me the four words I was secretly wishing.

     “Will you marry me?” He said.

     “You will. You should.” He said and laughed as I mocked him and put on a poker face. There, his face went pale.

     “Of course!” I said cheerfully as he lied on the floor due to nervousness.

     “You made me nervous! What’s with the emotionless face? I thought you would not! It’s good that you told me that you would before I get to have a heart attack.” He said and rolled on the floor. A few moments of laughter had passed before he stood up and placed the ring on my finger. There, the gang appeared and sang us a song.
