My sight was still on the floating candles moving back and forth on the pool. I was sitting hugging my legs on the edge since Byulie left.
Everything around made me feel damn guilty.
Everything was perfect to give a romantic proposal.
And I just ruined it.
"...Be my girlfriend Yong..."
I still felt the lump in my throat. I really want to be with her, I love her, but that word, frankly, terrified me.
Accepting she and I were more than friends, it had cost me so much, although it was real, although we are together with no labels, it seemed only a little detail was missing, and I... I was the only one who was avoiding it...
Noises on the beach took me out of my stupor.
I looked up and saw the lighthouse was beautifully lit, there was movement in the distance.
If we hadn't had a fight, maybe she and I would be walking there like any other couple...
I leaned on the floor to get up and felt something under my hand.
"It..."
A small white envelope. I empty the contents on my palm.
"...It is..."

It was a beautiful necklace with our symbols.
I blinked.
"Byul..."
Suddenly, the sound of a ktalk.
I thought it was her and I ran quickly to check:
"Unnie, is everything alright? I talked to Byul unnie a while ago, and it sounded strange, did you two fight again? And on a day like this!" From: Wheenie
"A day like this", what was she referring to? I quickly wrote back, she replied:
"Unnie, didn't Byul officially propose to be her gf today?" From: Wheenie
Officially?!
Another message:
"She was totally crazy about surprising you with something romantic. Unnie, you accepted her, right? From: Wheenie"
