Your heart raced and butterflies flew in your stomach the moment Woohyun held onto your hands.
"Good morning Mr. and Mrs. Nam. It looks like your driver is already here. You guys should head out first. We'll follow after." One of Woohyun's team greeted you both.
"Are you guys sure? My wife and I can wait." Woohyun said, looking over to you.
"Yea, we can. It's no problem for...us." You smiled over to the guy. He smiled at you both.
"It's okay. The driver texted a while ago that he'll be here shortly. You guys go ahead first." He assured you both.
"Alright then. We'll meet up there then." Woohyun smiled at him, and you did so too, before departing from the hotel. The chauffeur opened the door to you both as you guys approached the car.
"Lady's first." Woohyun said, letting go of your hand to allow you to enter the car. You looked at him and then entered the car. Woohyun followed after you. You sat behind the driver's seat, while Woohyun sat behind the passenger's seat.
"Please let me know if you guys need anything. You can press on the button on your right to alert me." The chauffeur spoke in Japanese before rolling up the window that separated you two from the driver's section.

The beginning of the ride started out quiet. You looked out the window while Woohyun looked at his phone. Without even noticing, your eyes slowly looked over to Woohyun. You noticed that he wore the wedding ring on his left hand. Woohyun sensing that you were looking at him, looked up from his phone and over to you, making you look away from him and back to the view outside. Woohyun smiled at your reaction. He reached over to your hand and held up, startling you.
"Woohyun, what are you doing?" You asked him, looking at him this time.
"What? There's nothing wrong with it." Woohyun said, looking at his phone.
"Y-yah."
You tried to release your hand from his grip, but he was holding onto your hand too strong. The more you struggle, the stronger he held onto your hand. Once you ran out of energy, Woohyun set his phone down and looked at you.
"My request is simple. Just today, and I will sign the papers." Woohyun said. "Can you do it? For me?" Woohyun asked.
You looked away and relaxed your hand.

Woohyun's phone rang, making him drop your hand. Woohyun looked at the caller ID. It read Eunji. Woohyun looked at you, and then back at his phone.
"Aren't you going to pick it up?" You asked him. Without thinking twice, Woohyun ended the call and took your hand in his again.
"Jagiya." He said, making you look at him, confused.
"Let's make today the best day." He suggested.
Your heart pounded fast.

The ride was silent again, until you both arrived at the mountains. You looked at the hiking path and remembered the good times when you and Woohyun were there last year. Woohyun walked over to you. He noticed that you were looking at the hiking trail. He looked at the trail and then back at you.
"Are you okay?" He asked. You broke away from the path and at him.
"I'm good." You replied, before looking around.
"Is everyone here yet?" You asked him.
"I just texted Jihwan and he said they just pulled up in the parking lot." Woohyun notified you. You shook your head in response.

You and Woohyun stood there, waiting for the rest of the team. You thought for a while before speaking to Woohyun about it.
"Woohyun-ah." You called his name, making him look over to you, with one of his hands tucked in his hoodie pockets.
"Yea?"
"Whatever happens here, stays here, right?" You asked him.
He thought for a second before nodding to you.
"Okay." You replied.

Just as you finished speaking with Woohyun, everyone came running to you both. Woohyun made a little speech to them before you all started making your ways up to the hiking trail. You and Woohyun waited last, staying behind the pack. Just as Woohyun was about to take his first step into the trail, you quickly grabbed Woohyun's hand, surprising him. He looked over his shoulder to you, while you looked at both of your hands in each other's grip then up at him.
He smiled to you when you both made eye contact. You gave him your smile in response.
"Let's go before we fall behind from the rest." He said to you. You nodded and walked right next to him. You felt your heart raced like that first time. Woohyun inserted your hand in his pocket, making you look at him.
"What are you doing?" You asked him, giving him a confused look.
"Your hand is cold. I'm trying to warm them up." He said.
"Did you learn that from Korean dramas?" You asked him, chuckling.
"Actually yes. It's pretty romantic. I was testing it, but your hand is too cold." He said.
"Yah! It's the mountains, why wouldn't my hands be cold?" You gently slapped his arm with your other hand.
