3 days to go before Christmas! =) advance merry Christmas!
*********************************

“Are you sure?” was all I could say at that time. It totally didn’t sink in my mind to marry at a young age.

“yeah! But, if you don’t want to..”

“No. I want to marry you but, aren’t we too young for that stuff?”

“Do you want to marry me when we’re already 80?” he suddenly said. (He looked really serious!)

“Do I have to laugh on that?” I said.

“I’m serious..”

“AISH! Of course not!”

“then, will you marry me now while we are still 23 years old?”

“It’s too early..” I said,

“Mi Young, it’s now or never.”

“YAH!” I yelled at him. I was absolutely in agony and confusion.

“I’m not a patient person,.” He said.

“Donghae, I really, really love you..” I paused.

“I know,”

“But then, we’re still too young to get married.”

“So? Haven’t you heard the quote ‘age doesn’t matter’?”

“Yeah, I know that! Let me finish first,” I told him.

“Sorry, please Continue.”

“And because I love you so much, I will accept your marriage proposal.” I saw a very big smile on his face, and then I continued.

“But with conditions”

His smile suddenly faded away.

“I knew there are consequences on your acceptance. What is it?” he asked.

“There are a lot.” I said shyly.

“I don’t care, as long as you agree to marry me.”

“Okay, so first, for now, we should only be ‘engaged’ and wait until we reach 25 before we marry.”

“What?! Do I have to wait for two years?!”

“Well, it’s up to you if you’ll wait or not”

“Do I have a choice? Of course I’ll wait!” he said.

“That’s great! So let’s move on. Second, before we get married, there shouldn’t be ANY physical contact between us.”

“EVEN THAT?!!!!!” he said in a loud voice.

“Of course! I’m a conservative person”

“Mi Young, you’re the only conservative person left in this world.”

“I don’t care. You should be proud that you have me as your fiancé. I’m one of a kind.”

“No comment.” He suddenly said.

“Why don’t you just agree with me? If I know, you’re so dying to have me! Hahaha!” I laughed really loud.

“Yah! I admit okay? Is that all?”

“There’s more. Third, for now, can we keep our relationship a secret? I really don’t want your fans to get hurt or something. I know they are important in your life.”

“But, I just told you that I don’t care if I lose them for you.” He seriously said.

“I know, I heard you, but then, that would be a selfish act from you. You should think how they’ll feel about it.”

“I couldn’t say more.” He said, agreeing to my third condition.

“And the last but not the least” I paused.

I could absolutely see his curious face looking at me gently.

“hmm..”

“Please don’t make me feel nervous. Just say it!” he said.

“You should ALWAYS believe in me and you should never, ever look at any woman other than me. Or else, the wedding is absolutely OFF!” I said.

“Does that mean I’ll have to close my eyes when I talk to woman?”

“YAH!” I yelled at him.

“I was just joking.” He suddenly paused, and then he tightly holds my hand.

“Mi Young, I promise, I will never look at any woman apart from you and I will wait for you. But I can’t promise you that I will keep our relationship a secret because I’m very proud that I finally have you.” He told me.

“I know, but if possible, you have to keep it.”

“Yes, I promise.”

“Then what about the second condition?” I asked.

He suddenly stayed quiet and smiled sheepishly.

“Yah, I’m asking you”

“Mi Young, please don’t forget that I’m a guy. I don’t know if I can control myself, but I will try. But still, I can’t promise” he said and smiled at me,

“If you can’t control yourself, well, I can!” I said.

“Let’s just see.” He smiled secretly.

“Yah! What does that smile mean?!”

“What? What smile?!” he said and smiled more

When I was about to say something, someone suddenly came in.

“Sir, Ma’am, your parents wants to see you now”

I suddenly got nervous,.
