SANA'S POV
Tae took the three bouquets of flowers while I carry Soonshim. We're here at the memorial park already. As we were walking, I could feel the cold breeze in the park. There were also other people visiting their deceased relatives, but they are just few in numbers. It's July, who would visit them? Unless it's their deceased relatives' birthday or death anniversary. They only come here when there's an occassion.
"We're near," Tae smiled at me. I just smiled back. I can see the loneliness in his eyes when he smiled at me. No matter how much he tries to hide it, it still shows.
The place is pretty neat. The grass is green; there are no crumbs of soil sitting there. The air is cold when it touches your skin, but you could still feel the warmth of it. There are trees where you could sit by and some tombs are placed near the trees.
Finally, we reached our destination. I saw three niches on the ground.
Kim Sang-yeong
Kim Taek-young
Kim Min Ji
I read the names in the niches. I saw Tae smile and he sat down infront of the niches. I did the same. He placed the bouquets on the niche and we prayed before talking to them.
"Halabeoji, halmeoni, eomma," Tae called his loved ones. "How are you? I'm pretty good. I wasn't able to go to college, eomma. I'm sorry." I felt the heavy aura that is building. I might see Tae cry while I was watching him talk to his relatives. "But I did my best to support myself and Taeyoung noona. She's already married, eomma. And you have a grandson already." Tae chuckled.
"I came here to introduce my fiancé." He gulped. I know that he's trying his best not to cry. "Halabeoji, halmeoni, eomma. This is Sana. She's my fiancé." I smiled at them as if they were still alive.
"Good morning," I bowed my head. "This is Soonshim." I pertained Soonshim that is resting on my lap. "He's our baby."
"I know you guys are expecting a grandson from me," Tae snickered once more. "That will happen soon. We are preparing for the wedding. After this, we'll buy wedding rings." Tae looked away and I saw him wipe his tears. "I hope you guys can see us. I wish you're still with me because I'm really missing you." He cried even more. I took his head and rested it on my shoulder. Tae is still crying. "Thank you for the love you made me feel even when I was a kid. Although you departed from me early, I still felt it. I'm really thankful for that." Tae breathed heavily. I took my handkerchief and wiped his tears away. I smiled at him to make him feel better. "See? Sana is a wife material."
"Silly Taehyung." I pinched his nose and he smiled in return. "Your son is perfect, eomma. He's everything that a girl could ask for. Thank you for raising him although you left him soon."
"I wish you're in my wedding, eomma." Tae said. "You, too, halmeoni, halabeoji."
"They will be there. They'll always look down to you. They are just up there, watching us from above. They never left us. They may be gone physically, but spiritually, they never left us." I told him. "They looked after us for years."
"Thank you for guarding me." Tae chuckled. I'm happy to see Tae smile although he's still sad. I made him smile despite the loneliness.
We continued on chatting with them. Although they were not responding back, I know that they are just listening to our stories. Tae told them how we met and all. He sometimes blame me for getting his heart broken. Which is true. I can't argue with him since I'm infront of his family.
"We'll be going now," Tae stood up and he helped me to stand up, too. "Thank you for giving us your blessing."
"It's nice meeting you." I bowed and Soonshim barked like he was saying that he's thanking them. Cute pup.
We then headed back towards the car. He drove off towards the mall because we'll be eating lunch and buy our wedding rings.
We were strolling inside the mall when someone called us. We stopped from walking and looked for the people who called us. And finally, I saw Mingyu and Eunha. It's been years since I last saw them!
They rushed towards our direction and hugged us. "Wow! You guys are still together?" Eunha amazingly said. We nodded in reply.
"Let's head to a restaurant first." Tae said and we searched for a decent restaurant. We entered a restaurant and ordered food as soon as we sat down.
"It's nice to see your faces again." Mingyu said. "Especially you, Sana. You changed a lot!"
"But I'm still the same squirrel that you guys met before." They chuckled. "Well, how about you, guys? What are you doing here together?"
"We're dating, but then we saw you, guys." Eunha said honestly. Dating? How could they admit that easily? If I was her, I won't admit it. "How about you?"
"We'll just eat lunch here." Tae answered. "And we'll buy wedding rings."
"Wedding rings?" Their eyebrows crossed. Eunha traced my fingers and she saw the engagement ring. "Oh! You already proposed!"
"Shocking, right?" I smirked. "I was shocked, too. I went to Japan that time and when I came back here, he already planned a proposal."
"Aww, that's so sweet, Tae! I hope you'll last long." Our milkshakes were served and so as our meals.
"How about the two of you? Besides dating, what exactly is your status?" Tae asked.
"We're just a plain couple." Mingyu answered. I can see that they are very happy with each other's company.
"I don't know when will he propose or what." Eunha rolled her eyes at her boyfriend. "I think he doesn't have a plan."
"Do you want to get married early?" Mingyu asked her. We watched them talk back at each other. They're such a cute couple. Especially the height difference.
"Why not? Tae and Sana are getting married at this age." Age doesn't matter. "So, why can't we?"
"It's because we just became a couple yesterday, silly." Just yesterday? I laughed at what Mingyu said.
"There's nothing wrong with that." Tae smirked and looked at me. "She proposed to me when I asked her to be my girlfriend."
"You'd do that? Even though you're a girl?" Eunha asked and I nodded. "I wanna try the same thing!"
"Don't." Mingyu threatened. "Let us have our own story, okay? It's theirs. That's called plagiarism." Eunha frowned and just ate her dish. We continued on conversing with each other until we decided to separate our ways. They went to the arcade while me and Tae searched for a jewelry shop.
"This is very pretty!" I said as we enter the shop. This diamond ring really caught my eyes. "Oh! And this, too!" I pointed the ring with a little diamond in the center.
"What do you want?" Tae asked me. There are so many pretty rings around here. I want to buy them all!
"Can you recommend a ring?" I asked the staff. "A ring where you can engrave something there." She nodded and went to the stockroom.
We waited outside and when she gave us the sample of the ring I wanted. She explained some things, but I'm not able to understand it well because I was just staring at the ring. It's so pretty.
Is this real? I'm really getting married? I can't help but to smile. I'm really getting married. This is a dream come true. I'll be marrying the love of my life. The man of my dreams.
"What do you want to engrave on the ring?" The staff asked.
"Squirrel and the other one is Alien." I answered her and Tae looked at me weirdly. "What? That was the first endearment we had in high school."
"Right. The time that you took care of me because I had fever." He smirked. "You're a pretty bad nurse."
"Tss." I rolled my eyes at him. We're waiting for the rings. "Have you chosen your bestman?"
"Yeah. It'll be Kookie." He nodded. Kookie? He hated him before because he was jealous of him. I wanted to laugh at that moment. "Who's your maid of honor?"
"I'm still thinking about between Tzuyu and Momo." I answered. "Maybe I'll go with Tzuyu."
"Good. Tomorrow will be the practice of the wedding ceremonies. The bridesmaids and groomsmen must be finalized already."
"Dahyun and Jimin are taking care of it." I told him.
After an hour, we were able to get the rings. I paid for it using a check and we went home. We contacted Dahyun if the bridesmaids and groomsmen are already finalized, so we could inform them that there's practice tomorrow.
