Chapter 4: Accidentally On Purpose

Jae Hwa’s POV

“Mmm…” I wake up in the morning to the sun hitting my eyes, an alarm blaring and someone trying to tug my left hand from under my body. I try to calm my head so I don’t get a headache and end up focusing on the alarm ringtone instead:

I want to tell you every single day that "I love you"

Would you marry me?

I want to live loving you and cherishing you

 

I want to put you to sleep in my arms every night

Would you marry me?

Will you give my heart this permission?

 

*I'll stay next to you for the rest of my life (I do)

I love you (I do)

 

Through rain and snow I'll cherish you (I do)

I'll take care of you (My love)

“Donghae oppa?” I mumble after hearing the words of the song. “Aha! So you did say yes then!” I peek open my eyes and see Melena next to my bed holding my right hand up in the air above my body staring at my engagement ring. I sit up in the bed quickly and stare at her confused, “So you changed my alarm?” I ask.

“Yes, it’s in celebration I had a feeling you would say yes so I thought this song would be a nice way to top it off!” Melena chirps happily now swinging my hand. I snatch it out of her grasp annoyed and the movement so early in the morning, “You knew he was going to ask me?”

“Yes I helped him pick out the ring and everything, he told me about a month ago.” She confesses sheepishly, probably afraid of my reaction. I put on a serious face for a second and then bust out laughing, grabbing a pillow from my bed and swinging it at her head. “And you didn’t tell me!” I yell still hitting her. She grabs a pillow in defense and stands on my bed hitting me from above, “Donghae made me promise not to tell you!” She shouts. We hear a banging on the floor from the room below and go quiet for a second before busting out into a fit of giggles, “Some people are just no fun in the morning!” She yells still laughing.

“Let’s go! We have to go to the dorm and tell the rest of them!”  Melena grabs my wrist and drags me into my closet.

“That’s if Donghae didn’t tell them first, speaking of which I wonder what he thought of his presents…” My voice fades as I finish my sentence, I forgot all about Donghae’s presents, I hope he liked them, I’ll probably have to go to the dorm and see since he never told me.
