Only Chaeryeong

Part 26: The 1st anniversary

Lillian's perspective:

"Lillian, wake up, wake up!" Chaeryeong exclaimed brightly but silently. I woke up and checked my heart rate monitor. It was in the 50s, which is normal for me. I had looked at Chaeryeong, who was sitting right next to me.

"Yes my dear?" I asked, with a bright smile on my face.

"We're about to get off!" Chaeryeong exclaimed. She was very happy and excited.

Chaeryeong and I were on a plane to Jeju. We were going to go alone for our anniversary, which is tomorrow, but as it turns out, there was a business event that was being hosted in Jeju for both ITZY and Cubasian at the same time, so we had decided to go together with the rest of our group. Not like we had a choice anyways. We had got off the plane a few minutes later and had corrected my outfit.

We all were wearing something different. I was wearing a hot-pink crop top with a pink skirt along with some dangling earrings with a blend of a yellow and pink crystal inside. The only problem with my outfit was that my crop top would sometimes start to slip down, but I had decided to wear it anyways since it only does it once every few hours, and since Chaeryeong lets me know when it happens. This outfit used to fit almost perfectly, but I had lost ten or twenty pounds since I had bought it due to the exercises I've been doing.

I had felt as Chaeryeong wrapped her fingers in mine and held my hand tightly.

"Sorry we couldn't go here alone." I apologized even though it was due to business.

"It's fine, honestly! Besides, I made plans for us tomorrow." Chaeryeong replied, running her finger down my chest with a sweet smile in her face. She had made me curious.

"What is it?" I asked, smiling back.

"You'll see, honey." Chaeryeong answered. "You'll love it, I promise!"

I had pulled her in for a kiss, where we had stood for a few minutes. We had both separated our lips from eachother's, and had both grasped for breath, but held a bright smile. I could tell she enjoyed the kiss, which had made me happy.

"Lillian..." Chaeryeong started.

"Yes my dear?" I answered.

"Never mind. It doesn't matter right now."

"It's fine, babe. Whatever it is, I can answer."

"How much longer... until the marriage ban is lifted?" Chaeryeong asked after a sigh. I had counted the time in my head for a minute before knowing the answer. I know why she had asked.

"Two years and one month." I answered.

"Two years and one month?! That's too long!" Chaeryeong whined. I had smiled.

"Chaeryeong, love. It's fine!" I said, giving her another kiss on her lips. "What's the point on doing things quickly when we can sit back and enjoy things how they are now? Why go fast on something that's going to last? I'm not going anywhere, love. I'm staying by your side for as long as I can, darling."

"Ooh, when did you get so wise?" Chaeryeong joked, teasing me playfully.

"I got the second one from Pinterest." I admitted. We had both laughed before we kissed again.

After a few more minutes, we had left for the business event. We had started a new game show of ITZY and Cubasian playing several types of games. This was going to last a few years, as we had planned for it to last a long time. After we had finished the game show, I was assigned with animating the intro and the outro to the show, which we had decided to call ITZY and Cubasian: The Game Show!.
