Blur memories (Scoups X Reader)

17

[After half an hour, Y/N finally arrives at the restaurant. Her steps slow at the entrance....this place isn't just a restaurant. It's a memory etched deep into her bones, the backdrop of something precious. This is where Seungcheol had first confessed his feelings, and it has never been just a place since.]

Cheol:

Y/N! Over here!

[Seungcheol waves his hand in the air, his grin familiar and easy.]

Y/N:

Hey!

Cheol:

So this is your version of 10 minutes?

Y/N:

Come on, I'm not even that late.

[She giggles, but there's a frown tugging at her brows as she looks at him.]

Cheol:

What?

Y/N:

Be a gentleman for once.

[Seungcheol follows her gaze, then chuckles.]

Cheol:

Just sit. It's not like we're on a date or anything.

[Y/N playfully punches his shoulder, eyes rolling.]

Y/N:

Still, you should remember your manners.

Cheol:

Yeah, yeah. I'll try, granny.

Y/N:

Shut up!

[Seungcheol laughs again, but his laughter fades slightly when his gaze lingers on Y/N's dress....something about it pulls him back.]

Flashback:

Cheol:

I told you to come downstairs in 10. Why'd you take half an hour? You should be grateful I didn't leave without you....or you'd have missed the yummy lunch.

?:

Shut up! Let's go.

Cheol:

*beep*

[He says her name, but it fades, muffled. He can't hear it clearly.]

?:

Yeah?

Cheol:

I love you.

[She smiles shyly, stepping forward to hug him.]

?:

Are you finally going to ask me out?... so... it's a date, right?

Cheol:

Kind of...

[He smiles, sheepish. She giggles.]

?:

You know it's either yes or no....not kind of.

[They both laugh. Then, suddenly, her voice grows soft.]

?:

Coups? Will you wait for me... for one year?

Cheol:

Of course I will. I've waited ten years for this. One more year's nothing. And after that, I'll ask you to be my girlfriend.

Y/N:
