The table was set in the middle of a thousand candle lights that lit up the entire place. Fresh red rose petals were scattered on the floor. Kim Eunji felt sorry to step into those fresh petals.
On top of the table was a candle holder with three lit candles on it.
A bucket of ice with red wine on top of the round glass table which was wrapped with red and white table cloth that was beautifully skirted.
Kim Eunji looked at the man who was holding a bouquet of fresh red roses in his hand.
He was dressed in a black suit and pants with his hair neatly combed to the right.
"Thanks. What's the occasion?" Kim Eunji asked as soon as Nathan gave her the flowers.
Nathan then drag the chair and let her sat on her seat and walked to the other side to sit.
"Do we need an occasion just to dine outside in a fancy set up?" He asked back.
Indeed, it was fancy. As soon as they took their seat, the musicians holding violins started playing a song.
The lody was so beautiful. It was indeed moving. Kim Eunji closed her eyes as she listened to the lody of the song and started to sway her upper body to the music. Kim Eunji then recalled sothing and suddenly beca emotional. Nathan beca alard when he saw a tear dropping from her eyes.
"Eunji...Love..." he called but Kim Eunji did not open her eyes and continued to get lost on the music.
Nathan had no other choice but to hug Kim Eunji.
"Shhh!" She opened her eyes when she felt soone hugging her.
"Don't be sad. Please....my heart aches when you're like this."
Kim Eunji had no intention to be emotional. She was just carried away. She suddenly rembered her father playing the sa song for her and her mother in his piano.
Her dad was a well-known pianist back then. He used to play songs for her and her mom.
"Are you okay?" Nathan asked as soon as he felt her being okay.
"Yeah. Sorry. I just rembered sothing. I didn't an to worry you." She explained.
"Oh, is that so?" Nathan inquired.
"Yes. I'm fine. Really," she affird.
"Okay. Shall we order? I'm starving." She said as she tried to divert the topic.
Nathan then raised his hand and five n wearing a male server's clothes pushing food carts entered the scene.
They then slowly placed the dishes on the table and then step aside as they waited for further instructions.
Kim Eunji had Atsuage (traditional Japanese dish containing deep-fried tofu) while Nathan had Agedashi tofu. For the main course, and Korean barbecue pork ribs for the main course. For dessert. Nathan then poured a non-alcoholic wine on Kim Eunji's glass and then his. Let's say he was sohow traumatized because of the accident.
He made sure to never let Kim Eunji drink even an ounce of alcohol ever again and also he made a self note to not drink anything that contains alcohol when he's around her.
"Cheers for a great future together My Love." He said and clicked their glasses together.
For desert, both had Qing bu liang, a Chinese sumr dessert.
"Woah! You're making sure to not let your race down Mr. Bai. I never thought this dinner had this Asian the." Kim Eunji teased.
"Well, I'm proud of where I ca from. I'm just not proud that I'm that man's son." He replied nonchalantly.
"But why Korean though?" She inquired.
"That my dear is my tribute for you." Nathan replied which made Kim Eunji's heart to be ward.
"Thank you." She expressed her gratitude.
"I love you." Nathan uttered.
"I know." Kim Eunji said and then smiled.
Nathan, though he still managed to keep his smile, Kim Eunji could tell that he's upset.
But Nathan was determined to make her say those words to him.
"Where are we going after this?" She asked him.
"Ho? I want to cuddle with you all night." Nathan confessed.
"Sounds nice."
"But first, I want you to enjoy the night with ."
Nathan then stood up and offered his hand for her to take.
"Can I have this dance, my love?" He asked her.
The violinists the n started to play a more romantic song.
Kim Eunji then reached for his hand and let Nathan to bring her to the open space where they could dance freely.
Kim Eunji was about to place her left hand on top of his shoulder but Nathan had other plans in mind.
He decided to place both of her arms to wrap around his waist as he did the sa with her.
The two were hugging while swaying.
Kim Eunji's forehead was now leaning on his broad chest. The position made her to feel his steady heartbeats which had a calming effect to her.
They slowly swayed their bodies in synchronization.
All of a sudden, the sky lit up revealing a colorful fireworks.
"Beautiful." Kim Eunji whispered but was loud enough for him to hear.
"No, you are more beautiful than that. Forget it, no things could be compared to your beauty. You are exceptionally beautiful." Nathan praised her which made Kim Eunji to blush hard.
Just as Kim Eunji thought that was his only surprise, ssages in the sky suddenly appeared.
A drone show was happening which read.
"I only bumped into you by chance.
Our first encounter was not even worth a glance.
Oh dear your beauty had made in trance.
But I never thought we'll only et once.
Over and ever we bumped into each other.
And now here I stand as your lover.
I promise to cherish and protect you forever.
But...
I can only do that if you'll say 'Yes'
Ms. Kim Eunji...
"Will you marry ?"
Nathan's voice echoed which made Kim Eunji to turn around towards his direction.
He was already in one knee with a 14K diamond ring on his hand.
Kim Eunji gasped as soon as she realized what was happening.
Tears started to co out of her eyes making them started to swell. It was safe to say that she was caught up in the mont.
Nathan approached her and held her in her arms.
"I'm sorry." He apologized though he didn't know why she was crying.
"I'm sorry if you felt like I'm making things in a fast paced. I just love you so much that I could not wait to spend the rest of my life with you." He reasoned.
"I...Nathan Bai, you're such an idiot sotis. Do you know that?" Kim Eunji suddenly said in between her sobs which made Nathan to be puzzled.
"Yeah...I know, I'm such an idiot." Though he was almost clueless, he decided to go with the flow just to coax her.
"You're such an idiot for making my heart to flutter everyday. You're such an idiot for making feel things I didn't know I had in . You're such an idiot for making want to trust you."
Nathan was stupefied when he heard her little rantings. He didn't know if he should laugh or cry because of it.
"Yes, I'm such an idiot. The great idiot."
Kim Eunji then removed herself from the hug and looked at the man in the eye.
"You're such an idiot for making my heart to fall in love with you. And I feel like I'm the biggest idiot for agreeing to marry you." She finally uttered.
"--__--" Nathan was speechless.
Though he had been claiming her as his, it was still a different thing to hear her confess her real feelings for him.
He was beyond happy to learn that he sohow managed to make the woman he loved to love him back.
"So it's a yes?" He was grinning like a kid this ti while wiping the tears on her face using his handkerchief.
"Yes." Kim Eunji nodded.
Nathan then claid her lips. Kim Eunji wrapped her arms on his nape as they shared a passionate kiss together. Nathan bit her lower lip making her to gasp. He then intruded his tongue into her mouth and searched for her tongue.
Kim Eunji fisted a handful of hair at the back of his head which urged Nathan to deepen the kiss.
They stopped when both of them were gasping for air.
Nathan looked at her gasping for air and he found it cute.
Though it's a bit dark, Nathan could clearly see her blushing face.
"Do you really love ?" Nathan tried to confirm.
"I do. And if you're going to be a jerk and ran like a coward then broke my heart, I'll swear, I'll punish you!" Though her threats were serious, but the way she said it was cute.
"Oh my love... I promise. I'll kill myself first before I'll do anything stupid that would hurt you." He promised.
"I'll count on that then." The two hugged each other as they looked up at the sky to look at the stars but then suddenly thousands of teors showered on the sky as if the universe was bestowing its blessing to the newly engaged couple.
"Nathan?" Kim Eunji softly called.
"Hmm?" Nathan humd as he hugged Kim Eunji while a romantic lody was running on the background.
"Aren't we too fast?" She asked.
"Fast or not, we would still end up to the sa results. Why not do it now and savor every mont we had for each other later?"
"Tssk! You and your overconfident mind. What if I said NO earlier?" She refuted.
"Had you said NO, then I'll propose to you everyday until I get a YES and earlier would be a mock proposal. But I got lucky and you said YES." He nonchalantly answered.
"It would be embarrassing if I declined your proposal then." Kim Eunji then pointed out at the sky with the drones now in a "She said YES!" ssage.
"Nope. My n will arrange a different ssage."
"And what would that be?" She popped her head as she tried to look at him.
"She'll say YES next ti."
