Home doesn't have to be a place.

It can be a person.

For me, Taehyung is my home.

I stare in admiration at the man beside me as we stroll through Jeju's botanical garden.

Just a day before we were about ready to hop on a plane to Japan, but decided that it was best we didn't leave the country.

Instead, a ferry to Jeju would suffice, still being miles away from our hometown.

"Have you talked to your parents?" Taehyung asks me as we continue on the path with Taennie.

I watch Taennie make his way around, sniffing all the beautiful flowers.

I shake my head. "For now, I'm running away from the problem."

When I bring up my eyes to meet his, he gives me a small smile.

"Better just let them know you're safe. You know, before they have all of Korea searching for you."

He leans in close to tease me, "I'm not a fast runner."

I hug my arm around him and lean my head against him as he throws his arm around my shoulders.

"I'll let them worry about me first. Let them realize how it's just not worth losing me for."

Taehyung places a kiss on top of my head.

We walk until we find a spot to lay down in the garden, letting Taennie free.

I wave my arms around to touch all the pretty flowers.

"What's your favorite flower?" With curiousity, I look his way.

Without hesitation , he answers, "A sunflower."

I lift an eyebrow, surprised by his answer.

Sunflowers aren't really anything exotic.

He touches a few beside him.

"Because it's faithful to the sun."

I sweetly murmur, "You're my sun, Taehyung."

His eyes sparkle and he shyly looks away.

"You're my sunflower, Jennie."

I stare up at the sky, feeling butterflies fluttering around my stomach.

This is the man I want to marry.

How could my parents take that away from me?

Taehyung tucks my hair behind my ear as looks down at me.

"You really won't marry him?"

Never.

"No, I won't." I answer.

Taehyung smiles.

"Good. 'Cause I've been praying to marry you."
