With Your Smile

Engagement

Byul was devastated, she couldn't help but cry going back to the house. She went upstairs immediately and lock her door before dropping on her bed and cried some more. She stayed there not moving at all thinking about Yongsun and her reaction to her announcement. Its been almost a year since they first saw each other, she recalled every meeting and every date they ever had and she couldn't help but smile despite the situation, Yongsun is her happiness the only one in her heart, whoever this person who suddenly came into her life to break what they had will never get the love she gave to her Sun.

A knock on the door stopped her from thinking
"President, your father said you will leave in 20 minutes" she looks at the clock and its 45 minutes before 9 pm, she decided that there is no point to sulk so she put on her best suit, make herself look handsome and irresistible that everyone's mouth will fall off when they see her. She will get dressed not to impress but to have revenge on her spouse to be and made them realize she is something they can't have.

Mr. Moon's eyes are wide open, he is satisfied with her daughter for putting her best self forward, but he can see the sadness and anger in her eyes. He knows something is up, she is never like this, since he announced the engagement he rarely sees her, and now he can't figure out what she's thinking anymore but he knows it's for the best. They left in their separate cars and arrive at the venue 15 minutes before the scheduled time. Byul stayed in the parking lot, letting her parents leave without her, she tried to compose herself for what's going to happen when Mr. Moon knock on her car window.

"Come on we don't want to show them we are late people, we have to go in as a family" Byul tried to stop herself from talking back to her dad, she isn't in a good mood to show respect to the people who accept this kind of arrangement and destroy what she and Yongsun have. She sighed and turned off the engine and walked out of her car, she took her time, those feet are walking heavily, it's like she's walking towards her doom. They arrived at the private room of the restaurant and sat down at the big posh brown leather couch, the place is very cozy almost warm with different designs that can make you feel all fluffy inside, at the far end near the window is the dining table, Byul felt at home, her bad mood had somehow lessened with the ambiance of the place, she was given champagne and she tasted the cold sweet alcohol on her lips

'This isn't so bad' she told herself, the door opening made her snap from her world and saw three people come inside, the two older couple went directly to her parents and they are all smiles and happy talking. The other young woman is eyeing her carefully, it's as if judging her but by the looks of it she seemed satisfied with what she saw. Byul's mind told her that this is the one she's going to marry since there's no one else is coming, and she was surprised that her father considered her sexual orientation in picking up her wife

"Come here Byul, let me introduce you to my childhood best friend, Kun-hee" the man's face light up as he saw how handsome her future daughter-in-law had become
"Oh my, Byul-ah, you are so handsome, I think my daughter will be pleased" Byul was suddenly confused
'So this isn't the one' she thought, then suddenly the door opened and Byul can't believe her eyes
"Oh! Here she is! You're future wife, my youngest, Kim Yongsun"

The two women were both had their eyes wide opened in surprise, but what Byul feels is beyond surprised. She felt secure, happy, relieved and she fell in love all over again, her eyes not leaving Yongsun. On the other hand, Yongsun was surprised to hear she's going to be married to Byul straight from his father's mouth, she isn't even sure if her father knows what her type was, but when she saw Byul's eyes go through different emotions, she was happy that the distraught Byul she left earlier was now happy as always, knowing that the girl she will be with for the rest of her life is her, no other emotion can tear her happiness apart right now.

And then Byul saw it, her smile, the smile she thought she would never see again. She went to her Yongsun and hugged her so tight, tears flowing from her eyes, happy tears, she lets her go and looked straight into her eyes

"Yong, I thought I would never see you again," she said caressing her cheeks, eyes full of longing
"Stop crying I'm here, I'm yours" Yong whispered wiping the tear stricken face of her Star
"I love you so much," Byul said with all her heart, trying to convey all her emotions in those words
"I love you too my Star" then they kissed so passionately that the other people in the room were so happy and at the same time embarrassed at the display of affection the two girls are showing right now. They were interrupted by the slight cough Mr. Moon made, which made the two broke off and looked at them

"Mom, Dad, Yonghee this is Star, my girlfriend" Yongsun smiled. Her parents are surprised but glad but Yonghee has a mischievous smirk on her face
"Well, at least you made the right decision with this one," she said hinting that Yong isn't good with her decisions, Yongsun whined but Byul just laughed at her reaction, she suddenly looked at her dad and mouthed 'Thank you' which made him smile and glad that her daughter isn't mad at her anymore
" You made a good decision" Mrs. Moon whispered to her husband
"She looks so happy," she said almost making a tear fall from her eyes
"They are meant to be," he said quietly.

The rest of the night went well, Byul and Yongsun sat at the other side of the table, no space between them, hand-linked under, Byul felt like the luckiest girl, Yongsun felt so loved and happy. Byul pulled a ring out of nowhere and held it in front of Yongsun
"Yong, this may have been for another person if it didn't magically happen to be you but when I chose this how I wished it's you who wore this, it's you who I thought of, and luckily it's you who will wear this. I will do this right now in front of our family" she said gesturing to kneel and holding Yongsun's hand gently, Yongsun is overwhelmed, from the roller coaster emotions she had that day, she started tearing up
"Yong, will you marry me? Be mine?" Yong held her breath, looks at the handsome face of her Star, and exhaled
"Yes, I will".
