Reserved Love: Episode 10 (Epilog)

There’s a short interlude between Mu Young and Young Won, as she still very much surprised by the sudden proposal. She hasn’t said anything yet, but she looks straight at Mu Young’s eyes, to look whether this man is all serious or not.

“If you were me, will you accept it and put the ring on the your finger?” Young Won asks.
“No,” Mu Young says, all serious.
“Why?” She’s slightly surprised.
“Because if I were you I would ask for a thousand kisses before I put the ring on mine,” he says cheekily.
“Aissh..”

She has enough of his cheesy lines and pushes him to the other hand of sofa, smiling shyly. Mu Young laughs sheepishly and hugs her tightly.

“I won’t let you go, before you say yes!” Mu Young exclaims.
“Arasso. Yes.”
“What?”
“Yes yes yes yes! Can’t you hear me?”
“Okay, okay. Fine,” Mu Young lets go his hug and now stands in front of her.

Mu Young starts his speech, he gets all serious and nervous now, eventhough he already experienced it once.

“Young Won-ssi, I’m not the perfect man to you. I come to you with scars and wounds and my past. Young Won-ah, even the most romantic love story will come to an end, do you still want to come to me?”
“Do you think I’ll accept you not knowing those?”

Mu Young beams in smile and now he kneels before her, opens the ring box and slowly puts the ring to her finger. He praises her fingers as pretty and it makes her blushing. He kisses her hand and her forehead before hugs her. A long hug for both of them, as if they want to prolong the happiness.

“Did.. did you just call me ‘Mu Young-ah’?” he asks for confirmation.
“Uh,” she nods.
“Do we drop to informal now?” he teases her.
