When Han got out of the shower he changed into his clothes before exiting and going over to his closet and picking out another sweatpants and sweatshirt and setting them in the bathroom for Min-Sun. He made sure to take out her things from underneath the sink and set them up on the counter as well as take out two towels for her.
When had stepped out of the bedroom, he stopped to look at the coffee table that was set up with the candles, and crushed food. He saw the flower petals from his flowers spread across the table and that more food had been added to the table. She had also set up some pillows and blankets on the ground. Han looked up to see Min-Sun coming out of the laundry room and smiled at her.
"I know it probably isn't like anything you planned, but sometimes plans don't always go the way we want. We just adapt. I tried to set it up the best I could, and I threw your blanket in the wash really qui-" She was cut off by Han giving her a kiss. She wrapped her arms around the back of his neck pulling him closer as she deepened the kiss. The kiss lasted about as quickly as it started as Min-Sun was the first to pull away.
"As nice as this is, I really want to take a shower. I am freezing cold and these wet clothes really aren't helping anything." She gave him a quick peck on the cheek before leaving to go towards his bathroom.
Han watched her walk away and couldn't wait for her to come back. Han looked over to the coffee table at the extra food she had put on the table smiling. She really had thought of everything, well except for the drinks.
Han went to the kitchen grabbing two glasses before looking in the fridge and bringing out a bottle of soju. He then looked over to the bottle of cola in the fridge and brought it as well. He set the drinks down on the table before heading back into the kitchen for a lighter. He lit the candles setting the lighter to the side before turning off the lights. He turned on one of the lamps giving them enough light for a picnic.
Min-Sun returned from Hans room wearing the outfit he laid out for her. He smiled watching her take a towel drying her hair. She smiled looking at the table and then back to Han.
"It's beautiful with the candles all lit." She sat down on one of the pillows wrapping a blanket around her legs.
"Not as beautiful as you." Han winked taking a seat beside her. Min-Sun rolled her eyes laughing.
"Alright casanova can you give me some cola?" She held out her glass for Han to fill.
They both talked for a bit about anything and everything enjoying the food, the drinks, and each other. Min-Sun talked about everything from school to all the things that So-Hee wanted her help with that day. Apparently two women could get more done in a day than a man could in about a week when it came to putting up a shelf. Han on the other hand listened to her talk feeling the familiar nerves come up worrying about the subject he was avoiding.
"Han? I kind of lost you didn't I?" Min-Sun stared at Han with her head tilt a little bit and Han panicked worrying he ruined the nice atmosphere.
"Sorry I just have a lot on my mind it all.." He scratched the back of his neck watching Min-Sun nodding.
"Anything that I could help with?" She asked patiently and Han smiled at how kind and patient she always was with him.
"Not really." He said honestly.
"Okay.. just know I will be there to listen if you want to talk okay?" She smiled before reaching out for a strawberry on the plate in front of her and Han realized that now was as good as ever.
"Minnie..." He started feeling his mouth going dry.
"I just want you to know that I was in love with Min-Sun. I thought about her a lot when I was with Jia. Wondering what we could have been, what our lives would look like. Especially after Woojin died. I...loved her."
Min-Sun nodded looking confused as to why he was bringing this up now but he had a point to make and he was going to prove it.
"But I have realized being with you this last year that you are so much different than her. You are more stubborn, more accident prone, more -" He was interrupted by Min-Sun.
"Does this have a point or are we going to just point out my flaws?" She raised her eyebrows listening to Han. Han smirked chuckling before grabbing her hand and holding it in his own.
"You are different than the Min-Sun I knew. You are kinder than her and you never hesitate to stand up for your friends or me. You always make sure we are taken care of and you always make sure to remind us how important we really are to you. You have more compassion than the Min-Sun I knew, and you have more character to you than anyone I have ever met." He watched how her expressions softened.
"The reason I set all of this up in the park today was to ask if you would want to move in with me. I know every time I have asked so far you have rejected, but I am really hoping this time you'll consider giving it a chance." He gestured to the house around him.
"Han.." Min-Sun started before pausing. "I don't even know what to say.."
"Please say something good?" He looked in her eyes hopeful the first time the whole night.
"I think...I think I have spent too much time worrying about whether you like me for me. I was worried that you were still holding onto the old Min-Sun but I realized that was stupid. I want nothing more than to move in with you." She bit her lip her cheeks going red with embarrassment.
Han smiled wide before pulling Min-Sun close and grabbing her face kissing her. The kiss was sweet and full of passion and when they both pulled away, they smiled at one another. They both cuddled up in each others arms and stayed like that in silence before Min-Sun broke it.
"You know for a second I thought you were getting ready to propose to me.." She said causing Han to choke on air. She got up turning around to face him to make sure that he was okay.
"I..Did you want me to do that?" He panicked.
"N-no this just felt familiar to So-Hee's proposal is all.." She stuttered pointing to the table.
"We could get married if you want to.." Han took Min-Sun's hand in his own and she smiled nodding her head no.
"Maybe when I finish school, I don't know about right now." She kissed Han's cheek before cuddling against him again.
"You're right, we have all the time in the world." He smiled kissing the side of her head before she laid her hand on his shoulder.
"Do you want to get a dog?" Min-Sun asked out of the blue which caused Han to laugh.
If there was anything he loved about Min-Sun the most, it was that she could always keep him on his toes. He couldn't wait for the life they would have together.
