One Sided ★ True Beauty

epilogue; hearts entwined

IRIS FELT HERSELF HEAVING OUT a heavy sigh as she glanced at the clock, wondering how the events had led for this to happen. It was currently half past seven which meant that Iris was currently running late for school, again. Iris wasn't sure how this had happened because she had made sure to sleep early the night before, as well as set so many alarms.

The fact that she had managed to miss almost all of them proved to her that she hadn't been improving immensely as she thought she had been on her routine for the school year. Oh well. It's not like Iris was the most smartest person in the world. She seemed to be wrong on many things. For instance, chocolate with fruit really wasn't as bad as people made it out to be, or that the ending for 'The Good Place' actually was satisfying.

Oh and she couldn't forger how wrong she was about Suho and Jugyeongs so called relationship. Iris chuckled to herself at how naïve she used to be, assuming things here and there and stressing herself out for nothing.

Though at the time it all sucked, if she had just thought about talking to Suho about what was going on, then all that drama between the two of them wouldn't have even happened, and it wouldn't have taken them this long to get together.

Iris shook her head at the thoughts and glanced at herself one last time in the mirror before making her way out of her house, deeming herself presentable enough for the day. When she had a look at the watch on her wrist , she was relieved to see that she had just barely managed to get dressed and out of her house in time to be able to walk to school Suho.

Her Suho.

Just the thought of his name brought a smile to Iris' lips. It was safe to say that after Suhos little confession and their first kiss, the two had decided from then on to start dating. They had been together for at least four weeks now, and things were going great.

Though they were kind of slow at the moment, Iris liked that about their relationship. She wasn't the most experienced when it came to relationships, and found herself learning quite alot with Suho by her side.

As Iris neared the spot that the two of them usually met up on, her smile was replaced with a frown when she saw that it was empty, which made no sense to her as she was sure that Suho had messaged her earlier saying he had arrived. Maybe she was imagining things.

Iris felt herself getting snapped out of her train of thoughts when she felt someone hovering behind her, "Looking for someone?"

Iris was startled by the sudden voice that appeared from practically nowhere. However, when she turned her head and saw that it was none other than Suho himself, looking down at her with a sheepish smile, she felt herself relax almost instantly.

"Gosh!" she said before playfully swatting the Lee boys arm for startling her, "You scared me." she told him with a pout.

Suho apologized profusely as he pulled her in for a hug. When the two finally pulled away after a while, he took something out from his bag, "Here. I stopped by the convenience store on my way here." he said as he handed Iris a carton of her favorite chocolate milk.

Iris grinned, now understanding why the boy had taken longer than he said he would. "You know, I was actually craving this." she told him before smiling, "Thank you."

Suho smiled at the girl as he grabbed her waist and pulled her in for another hug, "Anything for my Iris."

After a while, the two eventually found themselves beginning to walk to school hand in hand in silence. Though nothing needed to be said as the two felt comforted by the unspoken words, Suho still turned to her after a little while to ask what was on his mind.

"So when are you going to tell your friends about us?" he asked.

This caused Iris to frown. Though Suho and her had been dating for a while now, it was kept a secret from their friends because they weren't sure how to break the news to them. They didn't want a big deal to be made, especially as some of Iris' friends weren't really fond of the Lee boy for his past actions. Iris was just waiting for the perfect chance before telling them what was up.

"Soon." she told him with a soft smile, "I just need to find the right time."

Suho nodded as he playfully sighed, "You don't know how hard it is having to stay away from you in school." he said as he dramatically closed his eyes, "It's torture I tell you."

This caused a sudden guilt to wash over Iris causing her to come to a halt all together. "I'm sorry." she told him honestly, "Just a few more days, my love. I promise."

Suho smiled, now feeling bad for making the girl feel guilty, "You don't need to apologize." he told her before pulling her in once again for in embrace, this time resting his chin on her head.

"For you, I'd wait a whole lifetime if asked."

It was words like that from Suho that made Iris' face brighten throughout the rest of the day, so much so that it was practically impossible to miss when passing the girl. Even as they walked to school and parted their ways, impatient for the day to come to a quick end so that they could see each other again, all eyes were on Iris.

This was mostly because people were curious as to why she was so happy, including her very own friends.

"What's got you so excited?"

When Iris looked over, she was thrilled to see her beat friend, Naelea, who was currently looking at her in confusion over her demeanor.

As much as Iris was dying to tell her about the cause for her happy mood. She knew that she could wait until it deemed right, it's not like time was running out for her.

Suho was hers, and she was his. The two were together, and their love was reciprocated. It was not as One Sided as one might've thought it once was. In fact, it was never going to be that way, ever again.

"Oh nothing." Iris told her with a small smile as she linked arms with her to walk towards their class together.

THE END, for now at least . . .

--

A/N: And with that One Sided has finally come to an official end you guys! I can't believe it. First of all, thank you so much to everyone that's supported me since day one. I wouldn't have been able to make it this far without you guys. Second of all, I'm really sorry to anyone I disappointed with the ending, I know there were quite alot of team seoris fans on here.

I really wanted to end this book on a good note, especially because there were alot of Suho fans on here that came looking for a cute lil story. I was kind of debating on whether I should make it a sad ending or not, but at the end, I decided to leave it off as it started, which was all cute and wholesome.

I feel like it was pretty obvious because the epilogue was supposed to be a parallel to the prologue, except with the characters and relationships more matured.

Though this book has come to an end, this isn't the end of Iris and Suhos journey because trust me, they have a long, long, long way to go before they get their ending. There may or may not be a sequel depending on if I'm motivated to write one, but do check out my spam book because I'm yet to include one shots from my fics, especially this one which kind of show a background to things, any scenes you guys really want to see and so on.

For instance, the origin of Seojuns nickname for Iris will be explored on there, different relationships between ocs will be shown, and honestly, any requests that you guys have for scenes will also be shown.

So yeah.

Once again, thank you so much to all of you. Like I really would not have been able to continue this journey without your guys love and support. Remember, if you guys ever want to reach out to me and talk about anything at all, feel free to pm me because I love responding to you guys and making new friends.

Anyways, that's all for now. Happy Friday everyone :)
