a/n: a tribute to the lovely kdrama I Can Hear Your Voice; and this is just pure fluff.
[Even though your lips were telling me lies, your eyes were telling me the truth.]

It's in the early hours of the morning that he asks her. She stares at him at first, as if not believing what she had just heard. Even as he looks straight into her eyes, he hears nothing but blankness.
But the silence only lasts for a mere moment before she finally stammers. He listens to her oddly cute voice and smiles, stretching a hand towards her.
"Don't you want to?" His teasing tone drifts into her ears.
She flusters in her seat. "H—Hey! Are you making fun of me?!"
His grin still retains the same brightness. "Well?"
Indignant at his annoyingly light mood, she narrows her eyes. "No! What do you take me for?"
His slack features tighten the slightest bit. "…Really?"
"Yes. My answer is no," she snaps, averting her gaze.
But he catches a glimpse of her eyes before she turns away.
'Yes.'
He regains his full confidence once more. "Don't you want to?"
"No! As if I'd want to get stuck with you my whole life."
'Yes. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!'
He smiles. "Jang Hye Sung," he says, taking her hand in his. "Will you marry me?"
She is still stubborn. "Are you deaf? I… I said no, didn't I?"
'Yes! I will!'
"Liar."
"All right, fine!" she finally relents, deflating in defeat. But then she looks at him with a small smile on her face. "My answer is yes."
'I'm happy you asked.'
He kisses her hand. "I promise to make you happy."
And this time, she does not say it in words.
'I know you will.'
