36 I love you, Eunbi (1/2)
Hoon-suk nudged Young-soo's foot under the table, leaned forward against him, and whispered in his ear, ”what are you waiting for, stop looking nerves, and do your best, man.”
Young-soo took a deep breath and gets up from his place. As he clapped his hands for twice the waiter runs to his place by carrying a guitar in his hands and gave it to him. Young-soo pulled out a chair from the next table, sat down by facing them. He crossed his legs on the chair, position the guitar properly between his right thigh and right upper arm, clears his throat, and plays the guitar while singing one of his favorite songs thinking out loud from Ed Sheeran's albums. Eunbi was surprised and couldn't guess, for what reason he is doing all these sort of things, and she was speechless with his amazing singing skills, his voice sounds great and she never knew that he could sing so beautifully like a professional.
After he finishes singing the song everyone clapped their hands with a smile. Once everybody stops clapping their hands Young-soo clapped his hands again, this time the waiter comes with a paper wrapped red rose bouquet, Young-soo takes it from him, stalks to Eunbi and gets down on one of his knee in front of her. Eunbi stands up from her place, her eyes are widened in surprise, and her heart was hammering in her chest so loudly it made her ears ring. She bits her bottom lip anxiously, looks down at Young-soo and said, ”Yo…Young-soo, w-what are you doing please get up.”
He shakes of his head, ”no Eunbi I know that it will surprise you but I need to say this to you, please try to understand me. I would love to be your sunshine during the daytime and moonlight during the night time but all I need is a sky to live in, so I want you to be my sky.” He takes out the small leather ring box of one of his pant pockets, opens the box shows her the beautiful single diamond platinum ring, ”let us end our friendship to start our life as a married couple. I love you, Eunbi. Will you marry me again?”
Lots of thoughts were running into her mind she couldn't know how to express her true feelings to him in front of his friends that she is not in love with him. She feels like she has struck in between the stepping stones footpath walkway of the river, now she needs to take a quick decision whether to cross across the river or return back to the starting point of the river's stepping stones. She shook off her thoughts takes the leather ring box, flower bouquet of his hands, and nods her head by saying yes to his proposal.
Everybody clapped their hands in happiness.
Young-soo was happy to hear the positive answer from her; he stands up straight and jumps up and down with excitement. He carried her up in his strong arms in a bridle style, she was startled with his actions as she was about tell him 'let me down' he spins her around with joy by holding her tight as she clung to him. He let her down on the floor, and kissed her forehead. Then he cups her face with his hands, and held it against his chest, ”thank you so much for accepting my proposal and for also coming into my life like an angel I love you Eunbi. I love you more than anything else in this world.”
God, please forgive me for playing with his feelings I promise you that as soon we reach home I will tell him the truth until then God please save me Eunbi prayed in her mind.
Young-soo sincerely thanked his friends for spending some of their quality of their time by coming all the way from Seoul to Jeju only because to motivate him. And he separately thanked Jaemin for always giving some advices whenever he felt so low.
Hoon-suk hugged Young-soo saying, ”Congratulations my friend.” Young-soo thanked him once again for allotting some his time from his busy schedule to come over here to motivate him.
Hoon-suk broke the hug and said, ”I am your best friend, Young-soo so please stop thanking me as if a third person.” Then he shakes his hands with Eunbi congratulated her, ”I hope that you already know that my friend is such a sweet and caring person so take care of each other and live happily with lots of love and understanding.” She nodded her head by pressing her lips together tight.
Young-soo grabbed Eunbi's wrist draws her closer to him, takes her right hand in his hand, and removes the wedding ring from her ring finger saying, ”I don't want to see this loveless and instant marriage ring on your finger anymore.” He takes the ring out of the small leather box, slides it on her ring finger saying, ”From now onwards this ring is going to be the symbol of our love and marriage.” He takes out another small leather ring box of his pants pocket, gives it to her, and asks her to slide the ring on his ring finger.
She did slide the ring in his ring finger. And as soon as they exchange the rings on their fingers his friends, claps their hands and all of them shouted, ”kiss her, kiss her, kiss her,” in a chorus.
Eunbi felt as if she was on pins and needles, she puts her head down feeling utterly wrong for making decision without a second thoughts. Young-soo firmly pulls her body against his, takes her chin between his fingers angling her head up to look at him. As their eyes met with one another, ”You are mine, only mine, Eunbi,” he said huskily. It sends a shiver down her spine and seconds later he brushed his lips with her sweetly and kisses her passionately forgetting that his friends are watching them. It makes her heart pound rapidly. He presses his lips with her one last, slowly pulls back, and rested his forehead against hers.
