'Midas Touch' | Aespa Winter x Male Reader

Act 8 | Year 2028: Darl+ing

October 2028,

Darling you,

Yes you, Kim Minjeong. Soon to be Sung Minjeong. Or your English name would be Winter Sung. It rings so nice to be said and written. I love saying your name. But what can we do? Our career was at stake at the moment. Aespa is currently flying high, and Babylon Garden is at the end of its career.

I smiled, knowing that I fulfilled my potential in life. More to come in the future. My life as an idol is coming to an end. And a new chapter is coming upon all of us. People always say don't change, but I think change is inevitable.

I'm grateful to know that I have my family backing me up, my members to be called as family and you Minjeong. You and Rose both. Two people that I can call family. I promise that we will tie the knot when I returned from my military in 2031.

By that time, Aespa would probably focus more on solo endorsement. You can finally have your solo debut. You're a talented person Minjeong. Singing to acting. You are perfect. Our daughter, Rose would be seven years old next year. She's already a big girl. Her parents would be proud.

Minjeong: Killian! What are you blanking out on!!

Jaewoo: Yeah! Come on hyung! It's time for fun!

I blinked. Apparently I blanked out most of our travelling time. Now, I found myself in front of Lotte World. The big amusement park that Seoul had to offer. Today, us from Babylon Garden are on a date with our girlfriends.

Minjeong and I; NingNing and Muchen; Chaehyun and AJ; Kazuha and Tobio; Haewon and Jaewoo.

Knowing the risk, we all dyed our hair black and wore facemask to cover our identities. We booked the first ticket in the morning on a Monday. The least crowded day since everyone would be busy with work and school. We can at least have some privacy.

It's a group date.

Me: Yeah yeah. I have the tickets with me.

I walked towards the empty counter as I showed the person our tickets. Scanning our validity, he ushered us inside. We were greeted with vast of empty space that we can use to ourselves. Since it was Autumn, school holiday ain't even near.

AJ: Chaehyun and I are going to the merry go round first!

Muchen: We're going to the lower levels first and go up.

Tobio: Kazuha-chan wants to check the haunted house first. We'll check that out first.

Jaewoo: Ooh! We'll follow as well. Haewon and I want to check out outside first.

Apparently, they all had plans already with their partners. Nodding I ushered them like my own children before leaving Minjeong and I alone standing at the entrance. Minjeong and I can't help but laugh at how it turned out.

Minjeong: Come on, I have a lot of things to do!

She held my hand before dragging me around at the current floor. In the past, my family and Minjeong's had once visited this place. But that was a long time ago. It was about 10 years ago if I'm not mistaken.

I can't help but see little silhouettes of Minjeong and I when we were little running around the theme park. To be honest, I wasn't focusing much on myself. Because my focus was on Minjeong the whole time. Her smile was everything to me.

The theme park had changed a lot, but at the same time they kept the core theme. We did not expect to spend so much time together from now on, thus we're taking today's day off as everything.
