'' Sandara Park, you're the one I've been waiting for my whole life so please, will you do me the honor of becoming my wife? '' 

Dara froze in the middle of the shop. Eyes wide and staring at Jiyong. She held the box in her hands unable to mutter a word. All kinds of thoughts were circling her mind but the major one was the fact that Jiyong just proposed to her. 

'' Dara please say something '' Jiyong brought her out of her thoughts. All the people in the shop paused what they were doing and were waiting for her answer. Dara looked around then focused her eyes on Jiyong who looked nervous as hell. 

'' Jiyong... '' that was the first thing that came out of and what bushed her buttons '' Oh my God! Jiyong you're proposing! '' she yelled and put a hand on . The gesture made a few customers laugh. Just like the first time they met, the cupcakes fell to the ground, however, this time around, she didn't cry. 

'' Dara, babe, just, please, you won't say no, will you? '' Jiyong said, his voice low although no one could understand them. Even their son was quietly standing next to his father. He understood on his own that he had to wait for what his mother will say. 

'' But... You... Jooyeon... But you're married! '' her voice was slightly high.

Jiyong gave her a warm smile and shook his head '' No, babe... That's what I've been hiding from you all this time... It's been a while since the divorce got finalized '' he finally revealed with a grin. Suddenly he winced, his leg already numb '' Baby... '' he urged painfully.

'' So you're not married anymore? '' she repeated and he shook his head '' So we can get married? '' she added and Jiyong nodded. Sweat was already forming on his forehead and he wasn't sure if he would be able to remain in the same position any longer because his entire leg was burning. 

'' Only if you say yes... '' he answered '' Well, even if you say no, we'll be getting- '' before he could finish, Dara launched herself at him and hugged him tightly. He was caught off guard for a second but quickly balanced himself and wrapped his arms around her before they both fell on the ground.

'' Yes! Thousand times yes! '' she buried her face in his neck and hugged him even tighter. She was already crying tears of joy as Jiyong kissed her shoulders.

'' We made it '' Jiyong winked at his son who clapped cluelessly along with the rest of the people who cheered on the couple.

'' Where are we going now? '' Dara asked. Half an hour had passed since they got out of the shop but Jiyong seemed like he was waiting for something or someone. 

'' Ah! Here they are! '' Jiyong waved and when she looked, she saw Seung Hyun and Bom approaching them. The moment they got closer, Bom instantly hugged Dara.

'' Congratulations! I'm so happy for you! '' she chanted excitedly. 

'' Thank you! '' Dara muttered although she was suffocated by Bom's tight hug. Seung Hyun shook his head as he smiled. 

'' Congratulations, Dara '' he said then kneeled in front of Jihoon '' Are you ready to go with us? '' he asked cutely. Dara instantly looked at Jiyong confused. 

'' What? Where are we going? '' she questioned as Bom let go of her.

'' No, only Jihoon is going with us. You two are free to do whatever you want. I promise that your son will be fine '' Bom shared gleefully. 

'' But- '' Dara started to protest and tried to get her son but Bom stopped her.

'' No buts! You two should celebrate tonight '' she winked and Dara blushed as she understood what ''celebrate'' meant. She opened a couple of times and closed it without saying anything. She realized that it was pointless to argue. Seung Hyun took Jihoon in his arms and stood up. 

'' Everything is ready '' he told Jiyong before he handed him some keys '' I thought you'll need this '' 

'' Thanks,'' Jiyong thanked as he took Dara's hand '' If anything happens with Jihoon just give us a call '' he added. 

'' You don't have to worry, just enjoy the little time you have together " Seung Hyun assured as he took his wife and left with the little boy who waved at his parents with a cute pout. Jiyong was watching his friends leave with a smile and didn't notice when Dara let go of his hand. When he took notice and looked at her, he frowned. '' What's wrong? '' he asked worriedly and Dara rolled her eyes and crossed her arms.

'' You're so used to lying and hiding things from me now '' her voice was dead serious as she glared at him. 

Jiyong blinked '' What? '' he was dumbfounded as he never expected things to shift like that. At least not so soon.

'' You keep saying that you'll tell me everything and that you'll fix everything yet here you are still hiding things from me " she took a step closer to him '' How long has it been since you got a divorce? You know perfectly well how long I waited and how much I struggled with the fact that you were married to her! Yet, you decided to keep it from me all this time '' Although Dara was over the moon with the divorce news and the proposal, she just couldn't ignore the fact that Jiyong was still lying to her after all this time and after everything they've been through.

'' I... I... '' Jiyong was at loss for words. He had never expected that his desire to surprise her would make her that angry. '' I'm sorry, I didn't... ''

Dara groaned and let out a frustrated breath '' Your sorry doesn't change everything, Jiyong! It's always the same thing, over and over. You hide things from me and then you end up being sorry! I'm tired of this! '' she whined and Jiyong swallowed. 

'' I just wanted to surprise you! I thought this would be better than just telling you I was already divorced '' He explained and Dara closed her eyes. She was happy with the news and his proposal but the fact that he lied to her again irritated her.

'' But I don't want you to lie to me! I don't care if you did it to protect me or to surprise me! The fact that you keep something this important from me is what I don't like!'' Her expression softened and she looked down '' Do you know how worried I was? I've been traumatized since the last time we've been here together and I kept going back to that time. I couldn't help but think that once this weekend ends and we're back in Seoul, you will leave me again and I'll have to live with the heartbreak and loss once again! '' She cried out her frustration and Jiyong cursed under his breath. He couldn't believe how the mood shifted in just a few minutes. They were just happy a while ago yet not an hour passed and Dara was already crying. What bothered him, even more, was the fact that he was oblivious to how affected Dara was about him keeping things from her. 

'' Baby... '' He called as he moved closer to her and pushed her hair back and away from her face. Dara was crying silently and biting her lips. '' I'm sorry. I was stupid. I am stupid. I didn't know this will make you cry. '' He added '' I was dying to tell me from day one and I stopped myself more than once before blurting out everything... I don't know, I just thought that bringing you here and telling you everything while proposing is better than just revealing everything at home '' He continued as Dara suddenly hugged him and buried her face in his neck. 

'' I know... I'm sorry I reacted this way... I'm so happy that it's over but I just... I just can't help it. Ever since we got here I kept thinking of when and how you'll leave me this time and I couldn't think straight... I even ruined the moment... God... '' She cried harder and Jiyong tightened his arms around her and kissed her shoulder.

'' You did nothing wrong... It's all my fault. I always fail to realize how much I've hurt you before and I keep doing it even now '' He took a step back and looked at her. Dara was sniffing as she looked up at him '' But Dara, I've meant it when I said I'm never leaving you again. I don't care if I lose everything I have or even my life. I'm never leaving you and Jihoon ever again unless I die. I don't think I'm even physically able to leave you again even if I wanted to '' He held her face in his hands and caressed her cheeks with his thumb before he bent and quickly kissed her lips '' I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you, Sandara Park. You're my whole life. You and Jihoon are my everything '' 

Dara leaned on his hand and smiled through her tears '' I love you so much '' He kissed her once again then his hands fell to her hands and he couldn't help but play with the ring on her finger. 

'' Shall we go? It's getting late '' He asked and before she could answer, Jiyong leaned closer to her ear '' I have plans for us tonight and I don't think we're allowed to do them in the street '' He added as he kissed her neck. A shiver ran down her spine and she couldn't help but look around in embarrassment.

'' You're unbelievable. What if someone hears us? ''

'' Even if they did, they wouldn't understand '' He shrugged '' Come on, it's time to go home '' He added as he started dragging her with him to the car as she giggled. 

'' We're not going to the apartment? '' Dara asked curiously as she looked at the foreign road they were driving in. 

'' Nope '' Jiyong said and checked the GPS again '' We'll be there shortly '' He a
