CHAPTER FOURTY FIVE
Prove Them Wrong"It will be fine" Jonghyun whispered to himself as he drove to Seungyeon's house. "Think positive! FIGHTING!". He made another attempt of backing out, but in the end, his love for Seungyeon had won him over. As he reached their doorstep, he can't help but imagine how he and Seungyeon shared their first kiss on the very spot after their impromptu trip to Busan. He looked up and found that her parents, Mr. & Mrs. Gong were sitting at a bench at their veranda. As he rang the doorbell, he cleared his throat, drawing two pairs of eyes to him.
"OMO! Jonghyun oppa! " Jungyeon (Bomie) looked at him strangely as she welcomes him to their house, "It's lovely to see you! What brings you here?"
He smiled and took a deep breath, "I'm very happy to see you too, sister-in-law. There is just... uhm... t-there is j-just something I need to talk to you and your family about, if I could."
"Okay," she nodded, "Why don't you make yourself comfortable and I'll just call my parents. They're lounging at the veranda right now."

"Jonghyun-shi..." Mrs. Gong smiled warmly at the man that would be soon joining their family, "That's just..."
