"Let's sit over there," Beomgyu suggested, pointing to a spot under a tree. I nodded, and we walked over. He took out the blanket and spread it on the ground before we both took a seat on it.

I put some distance between us, but Beomgyu knows nothing about personal space. He scooted as close as he could to me.

When Beomgyu asked me on a date, I didn't know what he had in mind. There wasn't much we could do as broke high school students. So it made sense when he stated he wanted to go on a picnic.

I started unpacking the picnic basket that I had packed all by myself. Beomgyu was no help since he's terrible in the kitchen. The last time he helped prepare a meal, he cut himself. He wasn't even using a knife. I don't know how that's possible.

I had never been on a picnic before, so I didn't know what to bring. Beomgyu insisted I pack a lot of snacks.

"You look cute today, honey."

"Ah, um, thank you." I blushed like I was stuck in middle school. I scratched the back of my head, trying to look unfazed by his comment. It's hard when I don't think I've ever been called cute.

Beomgyu smiled fondly. "I want to be the only one to see your cute side!" He said it so enthusiastically that it made my blush deepen.

I continued to unpack the food to distract myself. It was quiet, but a comfortable quiet. Beomgyu was busy watching strangers walk by.

"Have you been on a date before?" Beomgyu questioned.

I shook my head. "Is it obvious?"

Beomgyu just smiled. "I've never been on one either. I haven't been to a park either." Beomgyu looked at me. "I thought it would be busier than this."

"Are you disappointed?"

"Nope." He reaches his hand towards mine, lacing out his finger. "I'm never disappointed when I'm with you. Thank you for coming with me today, Princess."

My cheeks are flushing bright pink again. "Y-You practically forced me to!" I stuttered.

"You know what I realized. You don't get mad when I call you by nicknames anymore."

"I don't hate it as much anymore."

"Really even.." Beomgyu suddenly leaned in toward my ear. "Baby?" He whispered, testing the name.

"Stop teasing me." I shoved him away. Beomgyu smiled to himself, pleased with my response. He started to snack on the strawberries I brought.

A breeze picked up, and I rubbed my forearms. I chose not to bring a sweater with me today. I tried to look cute for this date, but now I'm cold.

Beomgyu smiled at me before taking off his jacket and placing it over my shoulders. Almost every day, I remember that he's literally from a comic book. His whole personality is just what a handsome male lead would do.

I was startled, but I'm not going to protest. Saying I hate this feeling would be a lie. I carefully inserted my arms inside the sleeves.

"There we go," he said contently. "Perfect!"

"Yeah, perfect." I smiled at him. He leaned down and planted a soft peck on my cheek.

It wasn't long before we both started snacking away. The peaceful silence that kept emerging was comfortable.

"I think we should go on dates more often," he smiled, and I just nodded.

We spent the rest of the day making easy conversation. He kept asking occasional questions about my life.

Sometime during our discussion, he placed his head on my lap. He closed his eyes, and I could tell he was drifting off to sleep.

I have never felt more at ease. I really hope this can last forever.

"Beomgyu!" I called out, but he didn't budge. How is he already asleep? I ran my hand through his hair, which I had learned to love so much.

"I really like you," I whispered.

Suddenly, I noticed Beomgyu's lip twitch. His lips turned upwards. "I love you too." He whispered back.

I immediately tensed up. "I-I thought you were sleeping?" I stuttered.

Beomgyu shook his head. He took hold of my hand and gave it a soft kiss. "I was just dreaming about our future together."

I sucked my teeth at his cheesy comment. "You are so annoying."

A future with Beomgyu.

I'd like that.
