draft jeonghan proposal

jeonghan has been busy these days, especially him taking another year for his law school since he decided to permanently stay in italy, wala eh, he wanted to because he wants to, especially malia's there too.

at the same time, malia has been busy with her work editing there, being a photographer from local events or international events that is being held in rome, or probably you'll see her sleeping on her bean bag while her laptop's still open in her lap. most of the time jeonghan would catch her in that state and smile to himself how proud he is of the woman— after that he'd close the apps (malia taught him just in case) that won't be used and finally close the laptop and bring her to their shared bedroom.

he'd hug her by the waist and smell the scent of her hair before drifting off to sleep. on the other side, sometimes malia would wake up without no one beside her but sees a note with:

"my lia,

i have an early class today but i cooked you your favorite pasta, just heat it up! and also jungchan's fetching you today, might go home late. don't wait up for me if you're too sleepy, sleepyhead. i love you the most.

mi amore."

in those times, she can't help but smile and asks if she deserves this, everything, even jeonghan himself, and also sometimes she can't help but get sad over the fact that reality really sucks because not all the time is a fairytale where after you both reunited, everything's going well, but no.

in a year being together, there would be small misunderstandings, there would be one time when malia got home late and didn't even have time to text jeonghan, as she went home, she's greeted by a jeonghan who looks really impatient sitting by their couch. she ran to his arms and cried, not to ask for pity, but she was tired.

they didn't talk for a whole day thinking that maybe jeonghan was still upset about it but still, he cooked for her, she arranged his uniforms. despite not talking to each other, the connection they have for one another is still there and that's enough— also the same day that night, they both talked it out and made up.

there would be instances of a big fight where jeonghan didn't go home that night and stayed at vernon's to cool off malia's head. she was mad for jeonghan not telling her he'll drink with his classmates at his law school. he knew he's at fault, but malia also knew she was at fault because she didn't even try to listen— nadala ng emosyon kumbaga.

but, the next day jeonghan went back home, he was greeted by a sleeping malia on their couch, mouth open, and her laptop open too, as jeonghan looked closely he saw that she typed something and jeonghan can't help but smile,

"hannie ko, i'm sorry. sleepy na ako so if you see this, i'm sorry ulit."

jeonghan looked at her fondly as he caressed her cheeks and fixed her hair removing the baby hairs that covered her eyes. the latter moved slightly opening her eyes and greeted by a close jeonghan smiling, "i forgive you." he says kissing her nose gently as malia sat up and pouts, "i acted really rashly without even thinking of your explanation i shouldn't hav—"

"hey, it's okay. i'm at fault too, and i promise you, ikaw lang—"

"i know." malia says bringing up her hand and rubbing jeonghan's cheek in circles, "i trust you." she says finally leaning forward and placing a quick peck on his lips, "but please don't do it again, nag-alala ako. buti kasama mo sila adriano." she says softly as jeonghan holds malia's hand which is resting on his cheek, "still, i'm sorry." he says back looking at malia's eyes and she sees how genuine and pure he is, she can't help but smile and engulf her boyfriend in a hug.
