Early morning.

The two lovers woke up and embraced immediately, while Chan rested his gaze on his finger, where Seungcheol's ring still sits.

" I..."

" Cheollie hyung? "

" Channie, I, uh..."

" Hmm ? "

Chan provokes his boyfriend a little, caresses the ring under Seungcheol's evasive gaze.

" You're my everything Channie, that's why everything of me belongs to you. "

" All of me is yours too Cheollie hyung ~"

" I'd really like you to promise me that we'll always be like this."

" Of course."

" The ring around your finger, is a special promise ring because it's the ring my father told me to give to the person I think is the one. Promise me you'll take care of it, and that you'll be the one."

Chan simply nods, holding back tears as best he can but failing, he comes to take his eldest in his arms.

" I promise to be that person."

" Can I trust you, hmm ? "

" Of course you can. You've given me back everything I ever wanted : confidence, a smile, the desire to discover the world, to go out and, above all, to dance. For all that and a lot of other things, I don't want to part with you for anything in the world."

" That's so sweet."

Chan gently pulls himself away from his lover's arms and reaches for his mother's ring, placing it on Seungcheol's finger. He looks at the jewels and beckons Seungcheol to stand up.

So they get out of bed together and go straight to their friends to tell them the good news, the eleven boys congratulating and smiling from the happy morning for Seungcheol and Chan.

The eldest boy slips out of the house for a moment to go to his father's office, as he's determined to tell him the good news.

" Hello son, you really do look the happiest in the world, it's good to see."

Mr. Choi's gaze settles on his son's finger, the family ring is no longer there, but in its place is another ring...

" Dad, I'm sure I've found the right person. I know you like him and I can't see my life without him. I'm happy to say that the family ring belongs to him and his family ring belongs to me. "

" Wow, that's great news, I'm really happy to see your smile shining every day. By the way, I've got one for you too..."

Seungcheol's father stepped out of the office for a moment and waited. In not even five minutes, his father returned with a young boy who looked to be about his own age.

" Seungcheol-ah..."

It takes Seungcheol a while to realize that the young man in front of him is actually his brother, tears rolling down his cheeks...

His brother comes to give him a hug and Mr. Choi joins in.

" I'm proud of you my sons, your career has been remarkable. "

" We love you so much, Dad."

" I love you too my sons, you've never given up, and look one is getting married, the other promises his boyfriend to always stand by his side."

Seungcheol looks towards his brother and nods that he's getting married soon, he goes to position his head in his brother's neck and smiles happily, he thinks of his own boyfriend and hopes to marry him too one day.

[ Five years later ]

" Go over there, you're not allowed to see your boyfriend..."

" Eh."

" Seungcheol traditions, don't you know ? "

A lot has happened in five years, including Seungcheol and Chan getting married any minute now, the eldest finally daring to propose to Chan, and now he's stressing a lot.

He really wanted to see Chan's outfit, but his mother wouldn't let him. Seungcheol sighed and finally went off under the lamppost to wait for his lover.

A few minutes later.

He finally saw him arrive, dressed in a magnificent white suit with a simple rose at the heart...

" You look absolutely gorgeous Chan..."

" So do you Seungcheol.."

The two lovers smile, turning their heads towards the guests, who applaud, smile and throw rose petals...

" Hey brother, you can kiss the groom." Says his eldest

Seungcheol looks at his brother and smiles, shaking his head, he moves closer to Chan and says...

" Welcome to the Choi family. Now you are Choi Chan."

Chan smiles and the older man tenderly places his lips on those of his lover, the screams coming from all sides...
Seungcheol slips his hand over Chan's and caresses the promise ring and wedding band at the same time.

Suddenly, the street lamp lights up, and our two now-married lovers are illuminated while still kissing. A few passers-by watch the spectacle, stopping to congratulate and applaud the bride and groom. Seungcheol pulls away from her husband...

" Oh wow. " says Seungcheol's father.

" What's wrong dad ? "

" What's going on is, my project went so well that I'm getting a lot more money and I'm being offered a house.."

" Wow..."

" It's right by the sea, not even a 30-minute drive."

" That's great, Dad."

" Seungcheol..."

" Yes ? " 

" I give it to you as a gift..."

" Ohh wait what ? "

" You must need a house no now that you're married, you're not going to live under my roof anymore, and Chan's house is up for rent now. "

Seungcheol smiled and went to cuddle his father, detached himself a little and looked at his husband...

" Channie, do you want to officially live with me ? "

" Yes Cheollie hyung ! "

Legend has it that they wasted no time in settling in together...
