"Hey, dad!" I picked up the face time and placed the phone to make my dad see me. "Hello, my beautiful daughter!" He smiled so hard that his eyes were hiding, I laughed seeing him. "How are you and mom? Is everything good?" Dad nodded and showed my mom, who was sitting right next to him, "we're all good, how are you, Eura?" - "I'm also doing good, thank you." I chuckled as I continued cooking.

"I can't believe you've grown so much already, that you're cooking for yourself." My mom took the phone when I showed her the food I was making, "a few friends from my boyfriend are coming over, so I decided to make something." I explain.

I told my parents a long time ago already that I wasn't in a relationship with Jay anymore. They were sad at first but ended up being happy for me. My parents never saw Sunghoon though. I was waiting for the perfect moment and apparently it was right now.

"Who are you calling with?" - "Parents." I handed him the phone and looked at him being surprised. "You must be Sunghoon. Wow, you are very handsome!" My dad compliments him as I laugh. "Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Kim, I'm her boyfriend, Park Sunghoon." He introduces over the phone, sitting on the counter.

They chat a bit, pull jokes, and my dad tries to scare Sunghoon while saying he can't hurt me, or else he will make his life a living hell. It was funny to laugh, seeing Sunghoon actually being a bit scared. "Sunghoon taste it." I blow on the spoon before practically feeding him. "Does she cook well? She once almost burned down her kitchen." My mom asks Sunghoon, basically laughing at me. "MOM!" I take the phone, a big smile spread on my face. Oh, how I wish they wouldn't live so far away. "Luckily she hasn't burned my kitchen yet." Sunghoon adds, also laughing at me.

After a while we heard the doorbell, making Sunghoon say his goodbyes to my parents. "Eura," - "hm?" I answered before hanging up. "You should come visit Namhae one day, everyone misses you here." My dad says, making my smile fade a little but it comes back after, "I promise, I will come visit!" I hold my pinky to the camera as he does too. We bid goodbye before I go out of the bedroom.

> Sunghoon pov <

"Eura, that's Jake and Bora, my one and only college friends." I introduce them, once Eura gets out of the room. "Hey!" Jake bowed a bit to her when Bora also did.

I don't know if I was ready yet, to let her know about Sarang. I was about to tell her, when she ran across the street but I didn't want her mood to get ruined, so I told my friends to not start a conversation about it.

"I used to go to Cairns often with my dad. We went fishing a lot." Eura answers Jake's question. "You shouldn't have mentioned fishing." I whisper to her when she gives me a confused face. "Fishing? I love fishing." - "Really? Fishing used to be my favourite thing!" She answers. "He used to drag me with him to go fishing, I tell you it was horror." I tell her, smiling. "You loved it, don't act cool." Jake playfully rolled his eyes at me as I laugh.

"What about you? How do you know him?" Eura switches to Bora. Bora just looks at me and I nod to tell she could say it.

Of course I knew Bora, because her and Sarang were best friends and used to try everything to make me their friend, just so Sarang could be with me. After Sarangs death only then, Bora and I got close. Actually, she stopped me from trying to commit.

"We used to be in a friendgroup with his ex, in college." Euras mouth formed into an O and she nodded slowly. "Why don't we eat, I'm a bit hungry." I share my thoughts as we make our way to the dining table.

After eating dinner, Jake played with Gaeul and Bora and Eura started chatting more comfortably. I was sitting with Eura, my hand behind her as I was leaning on it.

"Hey!" She pushes me with her elbow while brushing her teeth, "I was at first here," Eura spats out the toothpaste "brush your teeth somewhere else." She smiles at me as I shake my head while brushing my teeth. She continues doing her routine while I watch her from the mirror. She keeps glancing at me from it, trying to hide the blush.

"You know," I start talking in between washing my face, "you're very cute, I want to keep you in my pocket so I can always protect you." Eura bursts out laughing. Dead serious I look at her from the mirror, my hands gripping the sink, "I'm serious! Don't laugh." I smile ear to ear, turning to her. I pinch her cheek, making my way out of the bathroom. "Ouch." she mumbles.

Already in bed I wait for her to finish with whatever she's doing in the bathroom. Patiently I take out my phone to text in the group chat with Bora and Jake

thanks guys for today 😉

seconds later Jake replies:

what's there to thank?

I think Eura is going to leave
you for me 😘

I'm going to take her fishing

I laugh at his messages, when Eura comes back, wearing a mask. "Why'd you flinch?" She mumbles, trying not to laugh. "You look like a ghost." I burst out laughing as she hits me, "Open your blanket, today is cuddle day." She tries wiggling with her eyebrows when I start laughing again, "I'm not going to cuddle with you while you're wearing this." I still laugh, pointing at her face.

Eura rolls her eyes at me, taking her pillow, "wait where are you going?" – "Sleeping on the couch." She murmurs, making me stop her. "Babe, I was joking," successfully I stop her and make her come back, using my pet name method, "you know I would cuddle with you even when you stink." Euras smile drops again, hitting me with her pillow.

I put my hands up in front of my face defensively but the laughing didn't stop. "You always make fun of me." She now sulks throwing her pillow at me. I take Euras wrist, pull her on the bed and smile, "I was joking." I smile looking down to her. "Teasing you is my joy of life." I could see her stop blushing even though she was wearing a mask. Eura looks at me dead serious when I try to hold in my laugh. She tries getting up again, when I hold her down, "okay okay, I'll stop!" she squints her eyes and gets closer to me.

"Do that one more time and we're done." Eura hits me one last time as I growl in pain. "Okay, I won't." I try kissing her, when she places her index finger on my lips, "Beauty is important, kisses are just pleasure." I roll my eyes, turning my back to her.

Now I can pull an uno reverse on her, "with no kiss, no cuddles." I say closing my eyes to try and hold in my laugh again. "HEY! Cuddle with me!" She pulls away the blanket when I sigh and look at her, "you have to kiss me first." – "But my mask-" I Interrupt her as I kiss her. In between the kiss, she hits me, making me stop, "don't ever do that again, the mask is really expensive." She warns me as I chuckle because of her cuteness.

Slowly I pull her closer to me to cuddle with her, I stroke her hair as she closes her eyes.

"I love you, so so much, Kim Eura." I whisper, she holds my hand and says, "I also love you, so so much, Sunghoon."
Into her hairline I leave a kiss before falling asleep with the love of my life in my arms.
