Playground

Today was the day our engagement will be known to the media. We've been trying to put it off for a couple more weeks, but their manager said it has to be now.

"I'm nervous." I was standing beside Jaebum backstage. He squeezes me with the arm he has around me.

"It'll be ok. Nothing they say will matter. Its my choice, not theres." He gives me a smile. "It won't matter if i lose a couple of fans. As long as i don't lose you."

I hug him. "You always know what to say, huh?" The guys smile sweetly at our interaction.

Bambam pats out shoulders, "You got a cheesy one on your hands."

Jaebum tried hitting him, but it didn't work since I was still in his arms. The manager comes in. "Come now. Its time to go out."

We nod and follow him out the side curtain. The cheers and chants of the fans are immediately heard. We sit down in our assigned seats, facing the audience.

I felt nauseous, noticing a handful of stares wishing I was gone. Some fans, especially ones who had JB as their bias, make sure to make their hatred for me known.

Jabeum held my hand under the table. He leaned over to whisper in my ear. "It's okay Rae. It'll be fine."

We turn towards the manager, who has begun speaking. "Hello IGot7. Today is a special day. The boys here, specifically one member has some very important news. But that'll be told towards the end. So enjoy the meeting."

They scream in response. The boys get up and begin their activities, while I just sit there and watch them.

Jaebum was currently trying to pull a stuffed animal away from Yugyeom, but the maknae wasn't giving up so easily. He pulled just as hard, not letting Jaebum take it.

"Jaebum you've gotten weak!" Yugyeom said with a smirk. He looked at the mocking maknae and gave him a glare.

"You brat." He yanked at the stuffed animal, just as Yugyeom loosened his hold. That wasn't such a good idea.

Jaebum was told to watch himself after recovering from his back injury three months ago. So the next turn of events had me screaming and running to Jaebum.

He had fallen hard on his back after Yugyeom let go of the toy. "JB!" He was groaning in pain when I arrived at his side. Everyone else came to his side, worried looks on their faces.

Yugyeom looked like he was about to cry, regretting his action. I was stroking Jaebum's hair back from his face. "Are you ok? Do we need to take you to the hospital? Did you injur-"

He put a hand over my mouth, stopping my rant from continuing. "I'm ok. No major pain. And no I don't need to go to the hospital."

I sigh in relief. "Give me your hand." He puts his hand in mine and I help him up. Yugyeom walks over with teary eyes. "Hyung, I'm so sorry. I-I-I didn't mean for that to happen. Well I did, but I didn't think you'd hit the ground so hard. Please forgive me hyung."

Jaebum gives him a smile. "Im fine don't worry. You don't need to apologize," he turns to the crowd and holds up a microphone. "I'm okay, everything's okay. Lets continue from where we left off."

Everyone cheered. Jaebum turned to me. "Want to do it right now since you're already up?"

I look towards the audience and notice some eyes glancing our way. They didn't look so happy. "Um, if you want to. I'm just really scared."

He pulls me into a tight hug and kisses the top of my head. "Don't overthink it. I'm forever yours and your mine. Nothing will change that."

My fear is pushed deep down inside me. Holding the situation off forever wont help, so he's right. I nod, "Okay. Let's do it. Just don't let go."

He smiles softly, nodding. We tell his manager that we were going to announce it now. He wishes us luck.

Jaebum gathers everyone near the front of the stage; he never once let go of my hand. "Okay guys, it's time for the special announcement."

He walks us two to the front, a bit ahead of the others. He holds our conjoined hands up in the air after placing a kiss on them. "As you all know, this is my girlfriend Park Raebin. We've been dating for about four years now." Jaebum turns towards me with a happy grin on his face.

"I love her with all of my heart," he touches our foreheads together. "And recently, I asked her to be mine forever. To be my one and only. To be Mrs. Im." You could hear some fans gasp before their murmuring commenced.

He turns to face his fans. "I asked her to marry me. I love you guys, for supporting us and getting our group this far, I do. But I love her more. She's my world, my life. So please, accept our relationship. Quit sending her vulgarities. Not to long from now, I'll be married. And I don't want my wife to be upset over something one of you said. I've seen what you guys write and say and it isn't right."

He gives them all a tired smile, "Please be happy for us." I wrap my arms around him, and dig my head into his chest. Some fans awe at my action and some do the opposite. He wraps an arm around me.

"Our leader is getting married guys!! How awesome is that?!" Jackson yells happily, trying to ease the tension in the room.

Junior and Youngjae begin junping around holding hands, screaming like girls. I laugh at their silly antics.

Jaebum picks me up making me wrap my legs around his waist. "What are you doing?" He doesnt answer me, just continues to walk towards Mark.

"Hey Mark-hyung. Let's end the meeting. I want to take us out to dinner." Mark nods, and makes their decision known to everyone.

"1, 2, 3 we are Got7. Thanks so much for coming and supporting us. We'll see you all soon on tour."

Jaebum squeezes my thighs as we walk backstage. "We did it." I hum not wanting to pick my head up from his neck. "Are you tired? Should we go home instead?"

"No. I want food." He laughs, slapping my thigh. "When don't you."

He groans in pain. "What the heck babe? Why'd you bite me."

"Shut up and give me food."

Everyone laughs, enjoying their leader suffer in my hands.
