❝ Marriage? ❞ ❝ Yup.❞ ❝ Seriously....I was kind enough to save your life and this is how you repay me.❞
Seungho removed the black blanket on his bed as he turned to look at Jiyeon, who was wearing a pink netted tank top and gray sweats now. "Get in." He cooed. "Are you going to sleep in the living room then?" Jiyeon asked, feeling slightly bad for him. Seungho nodded with a comforting smile. Jiyeon pouted, "You don't want to sleep with me?" "Your brother will kill me if he knows." Seungho pointed out. Jiyeon's pout turned into an angrier one. "He's the one who chased me out anyway. He should have seen this coming." One side of Seungho's lips curled upward, "Jiyeon, you know he did it for your sake." "Tch, now he has you on his side." Jiyeon muttered. Though it was quiet enough to miss, because the room was dead silent, Seungho heard her quite clearly. Finally she built up the courage to scold him. "Don't side with someone like him, he's an idiot. He doesn't even know Seyeon has a thing for him." Jiyeon continued to cursed. "That idiot big brother of mine." "What do you mean by she having a thing for him?" Jiyeon blew the front locks that covered the side of her face, "You know, like dating, marriage thing?" "Marriage?" Seungho questioned. "Yup." Jiyeon said as she got closer to Seungho, "Seyeon likes my brother. And if they were to date I would approve! But sadly Soohyun is an idiot." Seungho took a step to the side in order to face her equally, "Enough said, you don't know how Soohyun feel. Just go to sleep for now." Jiyeon shook her head and instead moved closer, bursting his space bubble, as she wrapped her slim arms around his waist and slammed the side of her head against his chest. She could hear the beating of his heart and his easy breathing. "Seungho." Seungho wait a moment before humming in response. "When will you marry me?" She asked softly. "We've been dating for two years and you've never brought up the topic of marriage...." Seungho remained quiet for a good long while. Marriage was never really a term in his book. In fact, he hated the idea of marriage. Being glued to a particular person that everyone expects something from. Especially when he had nothing to offer. "That depends." He answered finally, but Jiyeon's answer was almost automatic which caused him to become quiet again. "On what?" The room was beginning to become colder, matching the growing cold weather outside. Seungho reached over to the blanket on the bed, he pulled it toward them and used it to wrap around Jiyeon from behind. Then he wrapped his arms around her, to hold the blanket. "Well. On your brother and you." Jiyeon let out a short laughter, "Silly of course he will let us marry. That's why he calls you brother-in-law." Jiyeon readjust her head against his chest when she felt her neck aching a little. "So the question is, are you ready?" Instead of answering right away, he grabbed onto the blanket and pull it towards him, he spun on his foot and pushed Jiyeon onto the bed. She let out a surprised yelp as she fell against the bed with the blanket still wrapped around her, yet loosen. Seungho was towering over her; his hands pressing down against the sheets. "I'm not ready yet." He said, Jiyeon sighed. "I know and I'll wait till you're ready." She said under her breath. They shared a moment of silence, before Seungho leaned down and took her kissable lips with his. It was three in the morning. Soohyun had fallen asleep with one hand holding his head up as he sit next to his bed. "Hey?" The mermaid called from the side. "Hey." She was in a sitting position with the blanket on the ground. Apparently she wasn't fond of the thing. "Hey you." She called once more. But Soohyun didn't budge, running out of patience and quickly backhand him, knocking him out of his dreamland. Soohyun groaned as he turned to see what or who had slapped him. In the dimly lite room, he came face-to-face with the creature he had lend his bed to. "D-did you? W-were you the one who slapped me?" He asked, almost in disbelief. He never thought the woman could resort to violence. "Slap? No I was just trying to wake you up." She explained calmly. For some reason her reason made him angry. "Wake me?! You couldn't have woken me without slapping me?!" She blinked, surprise at his instant change of behavior. "I called you multiple times." She admit. Soohyun sighed as he rubbed the area of the attack. "Seriously....I was kind enough to save your life
