Thorn Lily Chapter 13 Part 2

MAMA's happening today! So excited heehee. In a post frenzy now all because of MAMA. Who are you guys watching MAMA for? I'm watching for Suju, Big Bang and Exo ^^

Hearing the commotion downstairs, I stood up and rushed down as fast as I could, my heart beating wildly. Just moments ago I was still drowning in despair, but now I'm filled with excitement and anticipation, urging me to run faster. It almost felt like I was floating on clouds, like I could start flying any moment now. The tensed atmosphere on the first floor made me slow down, but in front of me I saw...

I saw a 21-year-old Jung Yunho kneeling before my mother. He's always like this, his poise always so determined even now. In front of me, the 27-year old bespectacled Jung Yunho is still the Yunho who loves me as he did back then. He came for me after all!

"You...!"

Mother stared at Yunho with an incredulous expression. Suddenly the living room seemed so crowded - noona and the maid were supposed to be doing the dishes and my uncle was supposed to be washing his face and changing his clothes, but they've all gathered there. For the sake of this one person, Kim Jaejoong, Jung Yunho abandoned his pride and knelt down in front of my mother with all his sincerity. If I were the only one present, I would've given this beautiful man a round of appause. I know what he's going to say, I just know it, and... maybe everyone knows it as well, just as what happened 6 years ago.

"Please give him to me!"

Even though he's always wearing a suit, he looked slightly dishevelled. The top of his shirt was left unbuttoned, but he looked as suave as he always did, as confident as he always was.

"Jaejoong... please give Jaejoong to me!"
"Get up! What on earth are you doing!?"

My mother was just repeating what she said 6 years ago. Uncle tried to pull Yunho to his feet but he didn't budge. The 21-year-old Yunho was like that too, expressing his love for me in such unexpected ways. He'd knelt down before my mother once to beg her to allow me to live with him. Jung Yunho... my Yunho who's growing more handsome with age, my Yunho who's already married... and he'd thrown all that aside to follow me all the way here, to protect his lover Kim Jaejoong.

"You! How can a married man behave like this!?"

I raised my head when my mother yelled at him, but my vision was blurred by my tears. I couldn't even see Yunho's face properly. I blinked to let the tears clear out of my eyes and gazed at him. How will he answer my mother? The uncertainty is making me uncomfortable. His eyes seemed to scream 'Please believe in me!', and so I shall! I'll believe in you, my best tranquilizer, my panacea. I believe in you! I screamed back at him.

He steeled his gaze, eyes blazing like the fiery sun. How I wish I could tell him how much I love him, how much I love the Yunho in front of me right now! But even if I didn't say a word, he knows. He knows that I'm crying out of joy. I waited for his answer, waited for him to declare his love for me with his intoxicating voice!

"Marriage... can't kill my love for Jaejoong!"

Is he proposing to me? That was the most honest and loveliest confession I've ever heard. Will we perish in this chaos? If that is our fate, we... no. We'll never die. Because of you, Yunho, we'll live forever...

He's always so calm, so different from me who's shaking in fear. But his hands, which were gripping the car wheel, were trembling slightly. His expression was unfathomable. Even if the AC was turned off, the interiors of the car still felt cold.

When we reached a red light, I shifted closer to him and grabbed his arm, resting my chin on his shoulder. He continued staring at the cars in front of us, so my hand started wandering by themselves. In the end he grabbed my hand and scolded me in a tight voice.

"Stop touching me!"
"Liar!"

I leaned in and kissed those seductive lips. Only a day has passed without me kissing him and it was already unbearable for me. I think I have a right to demand compensation. I need Yunho's lips to moisten my parched heart.

The lights turned green and the car continued on its way...

"Where did they find you?"

Even though he still wasn't looking directly at me, his tone was considerable warmer.
I pouted and made a face.

"Mm, at home..."

He raised a hand and caressed my face, pinching my chin lightly as he turned my face to him. He had to keep his eyes on the road, but his hand never left my face, and suddenly I felt a lot better.

Suddenly his phone rang and the moment he picked it up, his voice grew very soft.

"Ah, Suh-hee... I'm not going home today, something cropped up in the family."
".....!"

He glanced at me as he spoke. I felt elated as he didn't stumble over his words when he lied to Suh-hee! The one who shouldn't exist isn't me, it's Suh-hee! For the first time I was in a higher position compared to her, and it's like having someone love every inch of my body!

The silver Mercedes stopped in front of a hotel. Dizzy with joy, I sat like an idiot in the car while Yunho had to come over to open the door for me. If I took the hand that he offered me, I'll find myself in heaven, won't I? But I still couldn't bring myself to take it; that annoying guilt had reappeared and started berating me again. I felt like throwing up. He seemed annoyed with my indecisiveness, so he rested one hand on the top of the car and leaned down until his eyes were level with mine.

"Yunho..."
"Aish!"

Ever since we met, he's been saying that to me all the time. I wrapped my arms tightly around him, lips subconsciously brushing against his. The bellboys and guests milling around in the lounge didn't see that, did they? Or they'd be in shock by now. But I think our love is something to be proud of.

He held my hand as we checked in and went into the lift. When the lift door opened, the corridor was completely empty, so I grabbed the front of his shirt.

"I don't like it..."

I lifted my head.

"The way you love me..."

His cheeks flushed slightly. It looked pretty on him.

"I'm sorry I let you go through all that. Hit me if you must... so... we can start over...."

My reflection filled his whole eyes, and I could see myself tremblin in them.

"You... Has my Jung Yunho returned...?"

He remove those silver-framed glasses and tucked them neatly in his pocket.

"I... want you. Tonight..."

I reached out and put my arms around his neck, eyes stopping at Yunho's lips.

"It sounds willful but... I'm yours. From now on..."

I stuck out my tongue and licked his lips, and gave him the brightest smile I could manage before burying my face in the crook of his neck, and then planting a kiss on his forehead. Once the room was properly locked, all that remained before our eyes was our love for each other, and the union between us became the most glorious thing on earth.

God, we are innocent! So please bless this sacred love!
