Because of you

25.

Jackson

We hung around Jinyoung's place for another 2 days before heading back to our dorm. I was pretty sure I had gained weight, his parents feeding me whenever they could.

I exercised when I had any spare time, trying to work off the extra weight. My body bulking up as a result which I knew Jinyoung liked. He kept hooking his arm around mine, his fingers wrapping around my biceps each time.

We reached our dorm in the afternoon, finding all the members lounging around in the living room and dining room.

"Hey guys. We're back" I smiled, waving at them. They all came over, exchanging hugs with us.

"No more peace for me?" Yugyeom groans, covering his face with a cushion. We laughed, Jinyoung poking Yugyeom in response causing him to squirm.

"Welcome back!" JB and Youngjae say at the same time before turning to each other and laughing.

"What have you been doing? Training him?" Bam asked, rubbing my back as he hugged me. I laughed nudging him in response.

"Feels like forever since we last saw you two" Mark mumbled, hugging the two of us at the same time.

I chuckled hugging him back while looking over at Jinyoung. His eyes crinkled, smiling when he caught my eye.

We had our new album recording the next day, all of us going to bed early to get a good rest. I prepared some honey for Jinyoung, knowing that he would overuse his throat.

Jinyoung smiled, wrapping his hands around the mug, sipping while looking at me. His warm gaze igniting me from within, my heart hammering against my chest. I don't think I'll ever get over this feeling.

I took the cup from him when he was done, Jinyoung's eyes beginning to droop as he settled further into the sheets. I pressed a kiss to his forehead, watching his eyes shut in response.

"Rest first. I'll be right back after washing this" I murmur, stroking his cheek with one hand. He nodded, his eyes still shut. I watched as his breathing evened out, Jinyoung falling asleep before I left the room.

I saw that the members were lounging around in their living room and took advantage of the moment.

"Hey. I've got something to discuss with you all. Please don't be too loud, Jinyoung's sleeping" I said, standing in front of them.

"Go ahead" JB said, lowering down the TV.

"I'm going to ask Jinyoung to marry me. I've gotten our parents blessings. I'll have to talk to manager hyung and JYP hyung next..." I explain, smiling when I caught their surprised and overjoyed faces.

"When? How? Where?" Youngjae asked, leaning forward.

"That's the thing I kind of need your help with..." I mumbled, rubbing my neck awkwardly.

"I kind of have some things planned but I need you all to distract him before" I continue, giving them a brief run down.

"For sure we would help you" they said, nodding and laughing in response, liking my idea.

"Thank you all. Really thank you" I smiled before heading to kitchen.

"Do you need me to be there when you tell manager hyung?" JB asked, wrapping his arm around my shoulders.

"I think I'll be fine. I just hope that he gives us his blessings" I say, leaning against his shoulder.

"After all the rubbish you two have been through, you both really deserve to be happy" JB replies, shaking his head.
