2nd Chances // Park Jihoon FF

072

"Will you marry me?" He kneeled on one knee with the ring on his hand.
I couldn't believe it.
He was asking me to marry him.
I wanted to cry so loudly, I was so happy.
My heart was so happy that I couldn't even say anything.
Even if I did, no sound would come out.

"Yes." I said but nothing came out like I said. Only he was the only one able to hear it, barely.
But I know I shouldn't keep him waiting for the answer.
Everybody deserved to know that I do, I wanted to marry him.

"Yes. Yes I will marry you Jihoon." I cried out and pulled him up to a hug.
As the moment I pulled him in, everything felt like it was in a slowmotion.
I could see no one else but him.
His smile, his beautiful smile.
His mesmerizing eyes.
His plump lips.
Him.
The love of my life.

"I love you."

"I love you too."
We both leaned in closer till our lips were touching eachothers.
I've always loved kissing Jihoon, but today it felt so different.
This is the kiss that had a lock in it.
The kiss that tells me that he really is mine now.
For the rest of my life.

We both pulled away from eachother and just stared.
I could see the happiness in his eyes and he could see mine too.
This is what we've both been wanting.
Forget being too fast.
We've just gotten back together, yes.
But it's not the first time we've loved eachother.
Before all this, he was my first love.
And I was his.
I don't see why we should wait.
We're in the right age.
I'm 23, he's 23.
We're both financially stable.
The only thing left to do is get an apartment of our own.
Won't take that long.
We've got saving for future emergencies.
And this is it.

"Congratulations!" Hyunjae squealed as she broke the moment of both Jihoon and I.
But i'm not gonna complain, i'm gonna have that for a long time anyway.

"Thank you!" I laughed and gave her a hug.
Jinyoung came up behind her with a smile on his face as he held a boquet of flowers.

"For you." He smiled.

"Thank you." I gladly accepted it.

"I'm so happy for you." He whispered as he pulled me in his arms.
I know that this could still be tough for him.
But i'm thankful that he's being strong for me.
I know I should feel bad, and I do.
But we both needed to accept what are destinies were.
It just so happened that him and I weren't meant to be.
But nonetheless, i'm always thankful for the love and care he had given me.
I'll forever treasure that and he'll always have a special place in my heart.

"Thank you." I kissed his cheeks.
Soon enough everybody came up to us to congratulate both Jihoon and I.
One thing that i'm confused of..
Why isn't my family not at all surprised?

"Congratulations my princess." My dad gave me a peck on the cheeks.

"You're not surprised?" I asked confused.

"I guess now you know why i've been busy for the past few days." Jihoon winked as he wrapped his arm around my waist.

"Huh-"

"I was busy asking your family for permission to marry you." He explained.
Oh...so that's why..
This is why I absolutely hate overthinking.
I feel like a bitch doubting his feelings for me like that.

"Luckily, Jihoon has always been the one I wanted you to marry. It didn't take that long to get me to give my blessings." My dad laughed.
I pouted with a smile and gave my dad a hug.

"Thank you daddy." I smiled.

"You will take care of her right?" My dad sternly asked Jihoon.
Surprisingly, he wasn't at all nervous.

"I'm a man of my words sir." He calmly said and gave my dad a handshake.
My dad finally nodded and said goodbye as he went ahead and caught up with his other friends.

"That was scary." Jihoon chuckled.

"You were scared?" I joked.

"I actually really was." He admitted and fake wiped his forehead.

"Well you did a good job hiding it." I winked and gave him a peck on the cheeks.

"I did?"

"Yes. You were amazing." I complimented.

"Well then, Thank you Mrs.Park." I blush at the sound of that.
I won't be able to get used to that for awhile.
Mrs.Park...
I like that.

We spent the rest of the day celebrating our engagement and my birthday.
We went around dancing and talking with everyone.
It was so much fun, I don't remember having this much fun before.
This feeling was something new.
I was so happy...it scares me.
It scares me because I love the feeling.
I never want this to be taken away from me.
I've been through so much.
Its okay to be a little bit more greedy now.
This life has always been the life I wanted.
To be this happy.
To have a complete family. Even if its just on my special day.
To be so loved.
To love.
And most importantly,
To be with the love of my life.
My first love, Park Jihoon.
And now I can't believe that I'm engaged to him.
We'll get married and share the rest of our lives together.
Have our little babies and watch them grow together.
Grow older together.
What more can I ask for?
This is the life I wanted, and now that I got it.
I just..I don't know what to say.
This happiness within me is something you can't just explain through words.
Nor is it enough to be expressed with actions.
Its makes me want to cry and laugh at the same time.
To stay silent but scream out loud at the same time.
But nevermind all that.
I'm happy.
I am happy.
And that's all that matters.
This is all that matters.
