“hey- seriously?” you giggled and reached over the table with a napkin to wipe off the corner of wonwoo’s mouth where a bit of soy sauce sat.
he chuckled back and moved to swat your hand away. “can you blame me? it’s so good.” he stated, shoving another piece of sushi into his mouth.
he had asked you to get dinner with him tonight, although 5pm for dinner was a bit earlier than usual for your dinner “dates”, unless you had something else planned for afterwards too. however, as far as you knew, there wasn’t anything else planned. dessert, maybe? spontaneous karaoke? who knew, the night was still young and ready for adventure.
you laughed lightly while eating another piece of sushi yourself, admiring the joy and warmth radiating off of the boy in front of you. you’d had a serious conversation with him only days prior, but the dinner didn’t feel out of the ordinary in any way. you still loved him dearly, as did he.
you had another person on your mind, and wonwoo understood. he had to.
dinner passed by, all the while you and your best friend talked and made jokes, fighting over the bill and all. nearing the end of your dinner, you’d noticed wonwoo checking his phone more than he usually did. you weren’t sure the reason, but you figured it wasn’t really your place to ask. he led you out to his car, opening the passenger door for you before walking over and stepping into his own side.
“do you have anything else you want to do?” you asked wonwoo, the night felt way too early to end just yet.
he looked over at you and smiled. “actually, i do. i found a new lookout point recently that i want to take you to.”
you smiled back at him, your heart melting at the idea of going to a lookout point with him. “well, i go wherever you go!”
night drives with wonwoo were the best. you’d never think someone like wonwoo, who was usually a quiet and low-energy person during the day, could scream songs so loud out the window. you joined, of course, because how couldn’t you? he knew all your favorite songs and, admittedly, your voices sounded great together. how could the night get any better?
wonwoo pulled into a parking lot of what looked like a normal park, one that you’d visited many times with him and your friends. there was a new viewpoint here? you’d explored the part from corner to corner, how could there be a spot that you’d missed?
wonwoo exited the car and walked over to let you out as well. he noticed the confused look on your face, one that was confused about why you were at the park you usually came to every other weekend. he smiled at you and whispered,”just trust me, there’s something amazing waiting for you here.”
you nodded. you trusted him.
he led you into the park, there were lampposts scattered throughout the grass to light up the area, but it was still fairly dark. you noticed the sound of faint guitar music and singing coming from somewhere, the direction you were walking. was there a concert going on? somebody busking? that wouldn’t be surprising to come across here, but nothing super special and new. it sounded like can’t help falling in love, but you couldn’t completely make out the words that the voice sang. how cliche.
wonwoo led you a bit further, and you saw it. you wondered if your eyes were deceiving you when you saw the line of your friends, each one holding roses, leading up to a beautiful gazebo. one that you spent time with your friends in often. one that you had memories of sitting in and chatting with the people who meant most to you.
however, now, standing there, holding a bouquet of roses, was the man that you’d spent the past months getting closer to. you saw joshua diagonally offset from him, playing his guitar and singing while smiling at you. his friends stood around the gazebo, holding candles, and your friends holding their roses and big smiles.
you stared in disbelief for a moment until wonwoo turned around to face you. you looked up at him, your mouth still open and not knowing what to say. he stepped to the side and stretched his hand out towards the gazebo, whispering,”he’s waiting.” you looked back and forth between the scene in front of you and your best friend.
you stepped forward, coming across the first friend in line, mingyu. he had a huge smile across his face and was hopping up and down, looking like a puppy. you giggled at the sight as you took the rose from his hand and stepped to the next person in line, junhui. he had an even bigger smile than mingyu if possible and the giggle carried on over to him as well.
minghao was next, standing with a grin that was small but reassuring. jeonghan and seungcheol followed next, and finally, you stepped to momo who stood just at the entrance of the gazebo. she handed you her rose and kissed your cheek, motioning for you to step into the area and finally come face to face with the man waiting for you.
before you took the final step, you looked over your shoulder to see your friends, the people you love the most, standing in a group, all giving you encouraging faces. you tried to ignore the noticeable tears on wonwoo’s face, but you couldn’t, and it broke your heart a little to see him like that.
finally, you turned back to him, who was once your bully, and now handing you six more roses to turn the six you were holding into a dozen. it felt surreal; the way your relationship turned around completely. someone you once feared seeing turning into someone who you spent nights falling asleep with. someone who you never wanted to see again turning into someone you wanted to spend every day of your life with.
“yn…” he started, pulling you out of your thoughts. “i know we haven’t had the smoothest past… and i’m so glad that you gave me a second chance. i admire you, yn. i always have. i’ve always thought you were the coolest person i’ve ever seen. i always wanted to be your friend, to just be able to spend time with you. i didn’t know how to express it back then, but i do now. i do now, yn, and i want to be able to show you every single day. so please…”
joshua’s singing stopped, the guitar fading from the last chord he strummed. chan searched your eyes. he wasn’t sure what he was looking for, but he just needed to know you were real. that you were there with him and that you were really real.
“yn, will you be my girlfriend?”
you could’ve sworn your heart stopped. you knew what was happening, but hearing the words really come from him could’ve killed you on the spot. you smiled, in turn making him smile, and nodded your head.
“yes. of course, chan. i’ll be your girlfriend.”
he threw his arms around you, pulling you into a hug while both his and your friends erupted in cheers. you swore you were in a movie, a fairytale story, a dream even, but there was no way in hell you’d ever want to wake up.
you both pulled away from the hug, looking into each others’ eyes.
chan spoke first, giving his first words to you as his official girlfriend.
“i’m yours, yn. and i’ll make sure you know it every single day of our lives.”
