//forever (1/1)
Jinyoung doesn’t believe in promises. So who would have thought he would believe in forever? He thinks Jaebeom is not promising him forever but is creating one for them. When he told him, “I want my forever with you,” Jinyoung believed the word he once was bitter with.He had boyfriends in the past. Everyone broke up with him because they said, “you are too giving” “learn to love yourself more” “I didn’t really love you”. And they all promised that he will stay with him no matter what. They promised they will give him the forever he wants, but no one did.That made Jinyoung lose all sense of promises and forevers. They were nothing but words you can only find in dictionaries and in the words of liars. However, Jaebeom is an exception. He’s the real deal Jinyoung wants. He wants to believe with his word of forever because he was different. It was not a promise and Jaebeom is keeping it.Jinyoung isn’t too sure how they met. Was it in the bar after he got drunk when he was dumped? Or was it in the busy streets of Seoul? Or was it in the park where he vomited all his liquors and spill the curses he wants to tell his now ex-boyfriend? He wasn’t sure, but he knows he wasn’t in his best state by then. As far as he can remember, it was his worst that he even recited the way back to his parental home and not in his apartment near his office. He woke up with a massive hangover and a slap to the head by his mother. He sobbed uncontrollably that his mother thought she hit too hard. Jinyoung shook his head, he doesn’t even feel it. He told his mom that he got dumped. So when his mother told him that a blonde boy brought him back home and even put him on his bed, he ran back to his room in that house and found a sticky note on his dusty bedside table.Found you on the streets, you looked really drunk and miserable. My conscious cannot hold on if I’ll leave you there so I brought you home – your home btw. No need to thank me with words. Call me up and grab a soju on the way. ^^-Im Jaebeom +82xxxxxxxxxP.S. I’m not a maniac. You wouldn’t be home if I am, right? Call me! ^^Jinyoung grabbed his phone and dialled his saviour’s number. He has to thank him for bringing him home despite being a stranger. Jinyoung feels his heart swell in joy. He wasn’t raped or harassed after being drunk. When he dialled his number, that Jaebeom’s number was already saved under the contact name Jaebeomie❤ which he ignored for the moment.That was where it started. Jinyoung grabbed a bottle of soju from their home and found Jaebeom in the park nearby. It became a regular thing for them but with the soju replaced by better drinks. The day they first met with Jinyoung’s face a little bloated from the tears and soju the other night, Jinyoung cried in the stranger’s arms. He doesn’t even know how he opened up so easily to the other. The stranger, Jaebeom, comforted him. Jinyoung was a little more than surprised when Jaebeom confessed to him, even with his bloated face and fat tears rolling on his cheeks.“I like you. Will you date me?”It was too sudden for Jinyoung that he almost ran back home but Jaebeom grabbed his wrists to prevent him. Jinyoung now was thankful for that moment because if he had ran back home to the safety of their home, there wouldn’t be another safe arms to hold him and no other forever will be created.Jaebeom had said the words of forever three months later when they know that they are both definitely, madly, and deeply in love with each other. He doesn’t want to hear that word ever again but Jaebeom made him listen to it again. And Jaebeom made him believe in forever again.On their third year now of being together, with both the blessings from their every one of their parents, Jaebeom called Jinyoung to tell him to meet him at the park where they first met. Jinyoung’s heart started beating erratically. It was hard for him to stand up from the bed that day. He fears of being called at the first place where they met because it was like how the others broke up with him. They call him to go to the place where they first met. They greet him with a smile, bring lunch and different varieties of food. They make him happy first and break him down to little pieces the next second.Jinyoung wants to believe that Jaebeom wants to keep the forever with him, but he also doesn’t want to keep his hopes up. He gets to think of the best and worst scenarios in his head before heading to the park near their parental home. He went to the exact place where he cried to Jaebeom with the bottle of soju in his hands. He found no people in there that he almost cry. He doesn’t want to be dumped that way. But when he sat on the place, he found an envelope with the embossed J&J on the center. It was elegant-looking and looks exactly like a wedding invitation. He opened the envelope with shaky hands. The worst case scenario he imagined was that he will get dumped on their third anniversary. But he didn't imagine Jaebeom to get married. He almost cry while opening the first folded paper inside.To J You are my day, my loveliest dayThe morning and sunshine I wake up to, The first best news I hear,The only drama I watch,And the only song I listen to.You are my night, my brightest nightThe bed that brings comfort, the pillow I hug,And the blanket that makes me safe and warm. If anything is jumbled and messed up,I will be the best friend to comfort you,And we'll talk about solutions, too.But I'll like to be your best other half,Who'll go through these troubles with you,And be your day and night, too. I cannot promise you my foreverFor nothing lasts that long,Because forever is just a word,And promises are meant to be broken. But I can give you my lifetimeLike the day and nightWhich comes and goesBut never dies. Will you marry me, Park Jin Young?And Jinyoung’s tears get as uncontrollable as the first time Jaebeom saw him. He wants to drink the best drink after soju. He wants to roll around the grass because he cannot believe his eyes. He opened the paper again and read the last sentence. And Jinyoung cannot be any happier.“I do,” he whispered into the air. And he yelled when he remembered Jaebeom wasn’t anywhere.“YAH! Is this how you will propose?” Jinyoung shouted into the space beside him and a click from an obvious camera came. Jaebeom popped out behind the tree with the smile Jinyoung can’t help but fall in love over and over again.“No, we’re just taking your pre-nuptial photos,” Jaebeom laughed and he was playfully shoved to the ground by Jinyoung. After reviving himself, he kneeled on one knee and asked the trillion-dollar question.“Do you want to create a forever with me?”“I do.”
