After mentally debating with myself, I decide to tell him the truth. I don't want to carry this burden with me everywhere I go. I don't want to spend my life wondering would would've happened if I told him. I want to know. Steeling myself, I quickly swirled around, facing him. Liang stepped back in surprise at my sudden movement. And taking a deep breath, I stepped forward and firmly pressed my lips on his. I could feel Liang tense up, but soon, to my relief, relaxed and kissed back. My stomach fluttering, I wrap my arms around his neck as he held me by my waist. He was surprisingly passionate, each movement of his lips harder than the last and we ended up pulling apart, breathless. Resting his forehead against mine, we stayed like that for a while, me pushed up on the front door, and him pressed into me.

"Um... I like you." I say, after regaining my breath, and he chuckled softly.

"I can see that." He replied. Face burning, I chuckled too.

"R-right." I say. Liang captured my lips once again, but instead of a wild, searing make out, he gave me a sweet, tender kiss and I melted into his arms. Parting, he sighed.

"I like you too, (f/n)" he murmured. "I'll wait for you." My breath hitched and I almost choked.

"W-what?"

"I will wait for you." He repeated, punctuating each word with kiss on a different part of my face. Each of my eyes, one on each cheek, and one on my nose. "Even if it takes years. I will wait for you." No longer able to hold back, salted water started to run down my face.

"Liang..." I manage to choke out, but I'm unable to continue.

"Believe me, (f/n)."


"I can't believe this is happening..." I whisper. "It's... it's so surreal, I..." I leave my sentence unfinished.

"Shh. I told you, didn't I?"

"Yes, but..."

"Don't tell me you didn't-"

"Of course I did! It's just-"

"(f/n), you've got to be kidding me."

"Oh shut up."

"We're starting."

"Okay..."

"Do you (f/n), take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband?"

"I do."

"And do you take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife?"

"..I do."

"Very well. I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride."

Smiling I peek through my eyelashes and I shyly smile. My husband. My husband. I thought giddily. Mine. Looking out, I see my dad, looking proud, my sisters, grinning, and my mother, weeping. With a smirk, I turn back to my now husband.

Liang smirked back, and our lips met, for a passionate, yet tender, kiss.
