Let Me Show You | Liskook Au

Chapter 43: Empty Paradise

"God help me"

Jungkook heaved deep, chasing his breath from nervousness, shaking his hands and jumping from where he stands trying to calm himself up, looking like he was about to run in the championship marathon.

He was sweating cold from both the restlessness and agitation. But a smile never left his lips, because...

Today is the day.

Today is the day that his weeks of hardship would finally be fulfilled.

Today is the day his life would change for the better.

Today is the day his years of waiting will come to an end.

Because today is the day that he will ask Lisa to marry him.

He had been thinking about it since the second year of their relationship. But he knew back then it wasn't the right time to propose, it was too early and they were busy with their career.

But now that he is certain and determined to marry her, he wouldn't miss a chance to spend all of his time with her before he enlist.

He wanted her so badly to be his wife.

So when they went home to Busan the last time, he sneaked into his parent's room to talk to them in private about his plans. Mrs Jeon was so excited about the news and gave him a box of old sapphire ring that his father gave to his mother when he proposed back in the day. He couldn't stop himself from embracing them for their utmost support.

And when BTS went to Thailand for their concert, he didn't actually invite her parents for a breakfast in Bangkok, instead he intentionally visited her main house in Buriram to inform her family about his plans in a language he practiced for years to speak just to show how eager he is to marry their daughter. Her parents gave their blessings to marry her, in return for his perseverance.

"I can't believe I'm actually seeing you so dead nervous" He turned his head towards a familiar voice of a woman.

"Lisa would laugh at you if she sees you like that" Yuna told him laughing.

"Stop laughing!" he said "this is already nerve wracking, I couldn't even feel my feet anymore" he said, that the girl laughed so hard she was already hitting his bicep.

"Aish! Yuna!" "This woman! Stop or i'll tell Jin hyung you like him too" the girl glared at him and rolled her eyes.

"I can't believe he actually really likes you, he never expresses himself much" "I never would have thought Jin hyung would secretly visit your clinic pretending to have a migraine just to see you" Laughing from the thought "you had him wrapped up in your hand" He said.

"How did you know that?!" Shocked.

"Brothers don't keep secrets with each other Yun, he told us he wants to meet Aunt Lee so badly" he showed her his bunny smile and laugh.

Three weeks ago on the night of Wendy's welcoming party, he asked Lisa to go back to his room to get all of her snacks. She was a bit skeptical of it but nevertheless she obediently followed him. And when he was sure she wouldn't hear them, he caught everyone's attention and dropped the bomb about his marriage proposal to Lisa.

Everyone didn't believe him not until he showed the old sapphire ring that was once his mother's engagement ring to them.

He asked them to help him find a jewelry customizing shop to refine the edges of the gem and surround it with the finest diamond, and an organizer to prepare for the day of the proposal. He didn't care how much it cost, he wanted everything to be perfect. He wanted her to feel like she is the luckiest person alive.
