Out of everything Kun thought he was prepared to see he can definitely say that seeing his grandparents who live in China at a small cafe in South Korea next to his sisters girlfriend of almost five years was not something he expected.
“When did you guys get here?” Kun questioned as he pulled out his chair before sitting down.
“Wendy picked us up this morning!” His grandmother smiled before properly greeting her grandson.
“So Wendy now that we’re all here you had something you wanted to ask us?” His grandfather turned towards her with a loving gaze. Kun some times forgets that Wendy isn’t their granddaughter with how affectionate his grandparents are towards her.
“Yes, okay the reason I flew you guys in & wanted to meet without Y/n is because I need your approval.” Wendy starts.
“I would like to ask Y/n to marry me. But your approvals all mean a lot to m-“ Wendy was cut off with the unanimous response of “yes” and “it’s about time” she couldn’t help to hold back her smile. She didn’t think they’d be against her asking y/n to be her wife, however you can never be too sure.
“I have something else as well!!” Wendy spoke up once the excitement simmered down a bit.
“While you’re approvals are very important to me, I’d also feel wrong proposing to Y/n without meeting her parents. Which I know is complicated. But she’s told me they’re still in America & I was wondering if you’d be willing to help me plan some sort of trip.. I think it’s important. But do you think Y/n would be okay with that? It’s been a while since she’s been back to America & I don’t want to put her comfort above mine.” Wendy felt more nervous now than she did asking for their approval.
“I can get you the contact information for her dads side of the family! They’d probably be better at planning this out with than us!” Kun’s grandma smiled.
“Honestly, I think it’s something that would be really good for Y/n.” Your grandpa spoke up “besides it’s not like she doesn’t have other family in America she gets along with. I know her fathers parents would be ecstatic to meet you!” He smiled.
“Wendy before we get too far past this subject, you don’t by chance have a ring picked out yet do you?”
Reaching out to your uncle on your fathers side was terrifying to Wendy.
You didn’t realize just how nervous you were to fly back to America until you boarded the plan. You didn’t realize how worried you were to be in America until Wendy pointed out if you squeeze her hand any harder you’ll break it. You apologized quickly loosing your grip before Wendy tightens her hold.
“I didn’t say you had to let go, I understand this is a lot for you” she reassured while you waited for your luggage.
Your uncle was in charge with picking you up from the airport and it didn’t really hit you until you saw his car pull up in the airport parking lot that you realized you’d be seeing the man who reminded you so much of your father for the first time in years. You didn’t mean to immediately break into tears when he greeted you, yet here you are bawling in his arms. He and Wendy both found it amusing, the ride to his house was thankfully very distracting from your worries as you got to hear him and Wendy talking & laughing. Your grandparents where waiting for your arrival. You had expected to be a complete mess upon seeing them again & you were correct. Although it was extremely emotional, it was good. You were catching up with your relatives & meeting your younger cousins in person for the first time. Both of them were much more interested in your pretty girlfriend than they were you, but can you really blame them? You had a big family dinner with talks of visiting your parents tomorrow before heading to bed with Wendy.
“Thank you so much” you muttered as you laid in bed hugging your girlfriend.
“Babe you don’t need to thank me for anything at all! I should be thanking you for introducing me to your family.” She smiled.
It wasn’t until the next morning when Wendy started to doubt her plans. While she very much wanted to meet your parents, she didn’t want to intrude on your first time seeing them in a long time..
“Are you sure you want me to come with? I can just stay in the car if you’d prefer?” Wendy asked for the nth time I’m the last 15 minutes alone.
“Wannie, baby please.” You said holding her hands. “I need you to be there for me. I’ve never visited my parents here. I’m terrified, you’ve been my only consistency since loosing my parents & I need you to be by my side. I don’t want to force you to come with if you’re uncomfortable, but I’m really not sure if I can do this without you.” You told her truthfully.
“Of course I’ll be there for you.” Wendy assures before you both headed towards the car.
“Well this is us.” Your uncle said before stopping in front of two headstones side by side. Both their headstones were beautifully crafted. It’s truly a shame given the circumstances as you will never be able to appreciate their beauty considering these were the markers to your parents. You instantly plopped to the ground, landing a bit harder than you intended.
“I’ve missed you both so much” you spoke. You had so much you wanted to say to your parents and now that you’re with them you are speechless.
“Uncle brought me here. Are you guys doing well? I actually brought someone with me as well. I’d really like you to meet her. She’s my girlfriend, I met her in college in South Korea we started as roommates. She treats me really well. I know you’d both love her so much” you spoke. Wendy knelt down besides you before she introduced herself. Watching her speak to your parents was extremely reassuring. Although tears were streaming down your face you also had a smile adoring your lips. Your uncle rubbed your back as you stood up & he motioned for you to take a few steps back from Wendy and your parents.
“Do you see that kid? You’ve found yourself a really good person. I know I cannot replace your parents, but I can assure you your father would agree with me when I say that I approve of her. They must be looking out for you huh?” He spoke softly your eyes never left Wendy’s form crouched in-front of your parents. You couldn’t hear what she was saying anymore, but had you been able to you would’ve heard her telling them her plan about asking to marry you soon. That she hoped they would approve of her. Letting your parents know she still had a few more approvals she wanted to get before officially asking you, but she promised to return with you as soon as she did. As you knelt down besides Wendy you heard her ensuring that she would take great care of you. Of course you had to vouch for her telling them she’s already doing so. You don’t recall how long you stayed and spoke to your parents, but you do know once you were done you were ready for a week long nap. Which you decided to start once you made it back to your uncles house. Wendy saw this as the perfect opportunity to speak with your uncle.
“If it’s not to much to ask do you think your parents and yourself could have a secret conversation without Y/n knowing?” She asked causing your uncle to raise a brow before she rushed to assure it was nothing bad. Of course he agreed and was happy to drive over to his parents house with her right then.
“Mom dad, Wendy has something to speak with us about” he announced walking into their house before even officially greeting them. Your grandmother was happy to invite them inside asking if they needed anything to drink before everyone was seated in their living room all eyes on Wendy.
“Okay I know this might be a hard question for me to ask you as you’ve only just met me, but I do actually have a reason for visiting.” Wendy started.
“I don’t need an answer now, just before Y/n and I have to leave would be great, but..” Wendy paused quickly digging something out of her bag before keeping the object concealed with her hands.
“I’m planning on asking Y/n to marry me, and your approvals all mean a lot to me. But with your approval of me I’d also like your blessing on the ring I will be using” Wendy moved to open the small box she was holding showing off the ring.
“How? Where did you get this?” Your grandmother spoke practically in tears
“When meeting with Y/n’s maternal grandparents I was informed about them having her mothers wedding ring. They told me it’s a family heirloom from your side and that they thought it would be a great way to pass it down to Y/n. However if you’d like I can find something else & you can keep this ring as I know it’s important to you guys” Wendy spoke before waiting for an answer.
“Wendy?” Your grandfather spoke causing her to make eye contact with him.
“I’ll give you my blessing under one condition”
“Anything” she replied feeling anxious.
“Use that ring when you propose” he spoke before your grandmother lightly smacked his chest
“You should make her promise to treat Y/n properly and force her to come visit us more not something she was already planning on doing!” She scolded
“You think she wasn’t planning on treating her well?!” Your grandfather argued back causing Wendy to let out a nervous laugh before your uncle stepped in & broke up their lovers quarrel.
“Wendy what my parents are trying to say is, absolutely you have our blessings!” He smiled.
To say Wendy was on cloud nine was a bit of an understatement. She had the approval of both sets of grandparents, your uncle, and your brother, as well as the rest of red velvet and Winwin pressuring her to pop the question already. She could only hope your parents would’ve approved of her the same way the rest of your family does. Her own family was also very excited upon hearing her plans to propose to you in the very near future. Now her only problem was figuring out when and where she wanted to propose to you. The two of you never specifically talked about an ideal proposal. In the back of her mind she was wildly aware that you’d be okay with her asking you to marry her in any fashion yet she still felt like it needed to be perfect. On the drive back to your uncles place all Wendy could think about was how she could possibly propose.
“You okay kid?” Your uncle spoke breaking Wendy out of her thoughts
“Yes, I’m just thinking about how and where I should propose. I want it to be special for Y/n.” She responded.
“Would you like my take?” Your uncle asked to which Wendy happily agreed.
“Well, I know you mentioned you wanted to have the family’s blessings- which you do- however I think it would be really nice of you to do it here in America. I’m not saying you need to propose at the cemetery, but I think if Y/n’s parents were included in some way or another that would make it extra special for her. Because while the rest of us are able to travel for your wedding, her parents unfortunately cannot physically join us. I know something Y/n spoke about doing was having a picnic with her parents, so maybe you could join her and either before or after having that picnic you propose? Again I’m just giving ideas nothing needs to be included!” Your uncle actually gave Wendy a good idea. Let’s hope you agreed as well.
Your last full day in America came sooner than you were ready for and all you wanted to do was see your parents again. Wendy had mentioned getting lunch and spending the afternoon with them so that you could have a little more time with them since you don’t know when you plan on returning and you really liked the idea. Your uncle agreed to drive you to get lunch for your ‘picnic’ if you will, before dropping you off to spend the afternoon with your parents.
“Let me know when you’re ready for me to pick you up! Be safe!” Your uncle hollered as you exit his car. It didn’t take long for you to set up the blanket before you both sat down & greeted your parents again. It was really comforting that you had someone else who was willing to talk to your parents the same way you were. Wendy made it feel as if the two of you had gone home to visit your parents as opposed to sitting in a cemetery in front of their headstones. After enjoying your lunch you both decided to lay down due to your full bellies.
“Thank you Wendy.” You spoke up not taking your eyes off the clouds
“You don’t have to thank me Y/n.” She was quick to respond.
“No you don’t understand how much this means to me. You came to visit my family with me, not only did you ensure I saw my parents, you also comforted me by making it feel like they’re still around. Today feels like we went to the park with them as opposed to you and I sitting in the cemetery they’re buried in. It means so much to me. I know my parents would absolutely love you.” It felt bitter sweet to think about your parents approval of Wendy. Yes you were your own person, yes you had extremely supportive parents when they were alive, you cannot help but wonder how they’d react to Wendy. What would your parents insist she call them? How long would you date before they asked if you had plans of getting married? Would your parents befriend Wendy’s parents? There was so much you wanted to know and experience with your parents. What about Wendy would your parents love? Before meeting Wendy when you wished to just have one more day with them you wanted to be able to say goodbye to them. after meeting Wendy when you wished to see your parents not only did you want to give them a proper goodbye, you wanted them to meet Wendy. You knew you’d never get the proper goodbye. What you didn’t expect was for any level of Wendy and your parents meeting. Granted this wasn’t nearly the same, but it meant so fucking much to you.
“Y/n?” Wendy asked softly after she sat up. You hummed in response sitting up yourself.
“Thank you for letting me meet your family, your grandparents, your uncle, your brother, your cousins, your parents, all of the family you’ve let me meet. Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to meet them all. But I have something I need to confess to you” Hearing that last sentence made your heart and mind race.
“I’ve met with your grandparents, uncle, and Kun before getting this approval. I’d like to think your parents would give me this approval as well, but I will never truly know. Being your roommate, friend, and girlfriend have all been wonderful however I think we should upgrade our title once again if you’re okay with that” Wendy spoke
“Wait Wendy are yo-“ you tried to ask before Wendy continued answering your question
“Will you do me the honors of becoming my fiancé and eventually becoming my wife? I don’t see my life without you and I want to spend the rest of my life making you happy. Y/n will you marry me?” Wendy asked before pulling out a box. Of course you said yes before she could open the box however once you saw your mothers ring you couldn’t help the mixture of sobs and ‘yes oh my god of course’ that left your mouth. You never realized how much your hand shakes until Wendy tried to put the ring on your finger. You both giggled after a few minutes of unsuccessful attempts before Wendy just took hold of your hand saying she’s put it on once you both calmed down.
“I know my parents would absolutely approve of this by the way” you spoke before giving Wendy a kiss.
“I hope i was able to make a good impression” she smiled along side you.
Once you climbed into your uncle’s care you heard him oohing and ahhing.
“Wow look at you all proposed to!” He beamed. Causing you to blush while you nodded. Showing off the ring that adorned your left hand perfectly.
