*******Isaac's POV*******

"I...you...what?" Namjoon asked, stuttering through his words.

"I want to be your mate," I told him again. "If you still want to be mine."

"God, yes," he said. "But are you sure? You were so set against it before."

"I changed my mind," I told him. "I didn't know you then. But I have gotten to know you really well the past few weeks. I've never felt so..."

"Complete?" He offered the word to finish my sentence, just like the first time that we kissed.

I nodded my head with a smile. "Yes. Complete is definitely the right word, because I have fallen completely in love with you."

His eyes went wide and his jaw dropped so much that it made his dimples show.

"You have?" He asked, his voice sounding just as surprised as his face looks. "You love me?"

I nodded my head again and ran my fingers across his cheek. "I love you, Kim Namjoon. How could I not? You're my mate. But along with that, you're sweet and kind to me. You're funny. You're smart and can hold a conversation. Plus you text in full sentences and don't use the letter U as a pronoun, which is so fucking sexy. You're considerate. You care about me. You take care of me. I never wanted a mate before, but now I can't imagine trying to live without you."

He kept staring at me, and didn't say anything. I felt the heat rising in my cheeks the longer he stayed silent. It was making me nervous, the longer the silence went on.

I couldn't take it anymore, and I started to pull away from him.

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that," I told him as I tried to stand, but his hands on my hips wouldn't let me. "It's too soon. I should have waited."

He stared at me a moment longer before finally talking. "It's too soon?"

I narrowed my eyes at him a little. "Really? That's what you have to ask after everything I just told you?"

He shook his head. "No, I don't mean it how you're taking it. I'm just wondering why you think it's too soon."

"Because we haven't known each other very long," I reminded him. "Who falls in love with somebody after just a couple of weeks?"

"True Mates do, Isaac," he told me. "With True Mates, the love is always there, even before they meet. They were put on this earth to be together. To love each other. True mates are made for each other. They just have to accept the love for what it is."

"Well then I guess that's what I've done," I mumbled, looking down at the picnic table we were sitting on. Well...he was sitting on it. I was still sitting on his lap, so I tried to stand up again. "Let me go, Namjoon."

He shook his head at me. "No way in hell."

I could feel the tears starting to well up in my eyes again, and I really didn't want to cry in front of him, just because I had told him that I love him, and he hadn't said it back. I guess I figured that he felt the same way, as hard as he's been fighting for this. But maybe I just imagined it.

"Please, Joonie," I said, my voice cracking a little as I tried not to cry again. "Please just let me go."

"I'm not going to let you go, Isaac."

"Why not?" I asked him. "All I want to do right now is find a hole to crawl into."

"Well if you crawl into a hole, then I'm coming with you," he told me. "Because I love you, too."
