Assisting Miss Yu - Winrina

The Wedding - *BONUS*

As a teenager Winter had never really given a moment like this a second thought. If someone would've asked her about settling down she would've just laughed and made some immature joke with the intention of offending people who chose to marry. Not that she cared what other people did anyway, because that was their life, but she had always agreed that marriage just wasn't for her.

But time can change a person.

"God this is so bizarre," Ningning chimed, pulling Winter out of her thoughts. "You look really good in white, though."

Winter felt a smile growing on her lips because a sudden boost of confidence is what she needed at the moment. Although Winter had maybe worn white once in her life other than today she knew Ningning was right, she looked great.

Inhaling a deep breath she exhaled negative thoughts, thinking about how in just a few minutes she would be walking down the aisle. She had agreed to walk first, which she didn't mind because then she could enjoy watching Karina without any distractions. Just the thought of her fiancée made Winter's heart flutter.

Although Winter was excited, she could easily recall the last time she had been this nervous, which was just a little over a year ago.

"Let's just stay here. We don't have to go back."

Winter glanced over to Karina, the salty breeze whipping her dark curls over her shoulders as they walked down the shore line. Her hands were shaking and her heart was pounding, but the last thing she wanted to do was ruin the surprise. She had to act natural.

"You're right, forget responsibilities. Let's become beach bums. I'm sure Jungwoo and Rosé wouldn't mind us crashing on their couch until we got back on our feet." She hoped her forced, natural tone buried the nerves she was trying so hard to hide.

The pleasure of Karina's laugh filled Winter's ears, her heart doing somersaults inside her chest. They were about five minutes from her destination and she was doing her best not to freak out. She wanted everything to be absolutely perfect but she had the luck of a two-leafed clover. If her plan failed she would be devastated, which would only happen if Jungwoo and Rosé weren't there waiting or a seagull crapped on her head.

But if it went right all of the nerves and planning would be worth it.

Karina slips her hand into Winter's, feeling the comfort surround her like a blanket. This trip had been one of the best, and she was positive nothing could make it any more perfect. Although, she could sense something off about Winter but wasn't exactly sure what it was. In all actuality it was worrying her, but what exactly could be wrong? She was on vacation and everything back home was fine according to Ningning and Chenle... so what was on her mind?

Then a thought struck Karina, a thought that made her knees weak and her heart race.

Was Winter planning to propose?

Karina tried to think rationally, remembering the many conversations she had had with Winter over the subject. Winter wasn't that type of person, not that she disagreed with marriage as a whole but she had claimed it just wasn't for her. Karina was a traditionalist in the sense of love eventually leading to marriage, but Winter of course had different views. She claimed she didn't need a piece of paper to love someone forever, which Karina respected, but always kind of wished was different. So why was the thought of Winter proposing swarming around her mind?

Deciding to test the waters Karina broke the silence, "If we ever got married, who would take whose last name?"

In this moment Karina took notice to Winter's reaction, which seemed to be indifferent. She wanted something, some sign that maybe her intuition was right, but either she was delusional or Winter really didn't have anything special planned.
