changbin's pov
he really was gone. i thought i was dreaming, but he actually left. after a strong cup of coffee i decided i was no longer going to be the shy timid guy he knew me as. i picked up my phone and dialed his number.
"hey baby!" chan yelled happily. if i wasn't mad it would've made me smile. "listen here you! you can't just do what we did and leave in the morning! i am so NOT a one night stand" chan laughed on the other end, only making me more angry.
"i'm serious christopher!" i yell in english.
"i'm sorry, i'm sorry" he gulps. "i'm just getting something set up-- you know i'd rather be in bed with you" i rub my temples as i try to relax. "yeah i get it.. come over later" i whine. "anything for you" he replies in his usual happy tone.
once i hang up i decide i can just clean up my dorm for the day. having chan over has caused me to slightly stray away from my usual routine. when i'm done i can't help to pat myself on the back. i plop down on the couch for a moment of relaxation, but i'm interrupted by a knock at my door.
"what's up hyung?" felix smiles. he brought along seungmin and jisung with him. "just finished cleaning.. did something happen?" i ask, fixing my wrinkly clothes. "how was it?" seungmin asked. my cheeks burn. "oh gosh—he told you?" i yell.
"no you did. you're limping." han giggles, making me blush. "anyway! what brings you guys here?" i change the subject. "wanna come shopping with us?" felix beamed. "sure.. i'll just go get changed"
i run to my closet to find something less messy to put on. i have to admit i was glad to see them, but also confused. we did various things as a group, but shopping wasn't one of them. were they taking me to distract me from getting hurt?
i slipped on a black hoodie, grabbed my glasses, and house keys. "lets go" i smile. after hours at the shopping center thats when i knew something was up. they kept urging me to try on clothes and convinced me to buy more outfits than i needed.
they also convinced me to go into a lingerie store and get something 'just for fun'. "i just don't think i need this much lace underwear" i turn to them laughing. "you never know" seungmin whispers playfully.
"anyway!" han says. "why don't we go out tonight? you can wear all of your new stuff" he squeals.
i look towards the three of them waiting for my answer with anticipation. "yeah sounds great" the cheer in victory only confusing me more. when we get back to the dorms i text chan to let him know that he can just go to his own dorm tonight.
it's eight o' clock when we're all ready.. well when i'm ready. everyone else is in their same outfits. "i thought we were going out?" i walk out of my room with a pout. they give me more cheers and a few whistles making me roll my eyes. "damn you look hot" felix's eyes widen.
"don't act so surprised" i pout, covering my face.
"and yes we're going! are you ready?" han asks. "uh i guess?" seungmin pulls the car keys out of his pocket. "i'll drive" he smiles. for some unknown reason, they suggested i sit in the back. i didn't mind, but they were oddly persistent.
we were driving for nearly an hour until we reached an italian restaurant. i assumed we were going to a bar, but i forgot to eat today so i was glad to know we'd have food first. seungmin pulled up to the front of the restaurant. "you know, if you guys were hungry i wouldn't have mind cooking" i exclaim.
they say nothing and slowly roll down the back seat window. chan is standing in front of the restaurant with a single rose in his hand. "chan? what's he doing here?" i turn to them. "brunch recap tomorrow okay? don't forget!" han says. "okay.." i reply, still confused.
i walk up to chan who immediately becomes smiley. "you're so handsome" he sighs contently. "you're even more handsome" i mumur shyly.
he hands me the rose. "did you finish whatever you needed to do today?" i ask as we walk into the establishment.
to my surprise, when we walk in theres no other customers in the restaurant. "wow did we come here on the perfect night or what?" i gasp. chan laughs, handing my coat to one of the workers. due to the lack of customers we got a perfect table in the middle of the restaurant.
"are you comfortable my love? if you want a new table i'll get you one" chan exhales. "i'm fine" i laugh, taking a sip of the water. i look over at chan who is dressed nicely himself, but he looks extremely nervous. "are you okay?" i pout. "yes, uh i'm fine"
the waiter comes over and hands us menus along with a fruit cocktail. "cheers to us?" chan asks, holding his glass up. "cheers to us" i smile and quickly clink glasses with him. when our food comes out i can notice chan starts to become his normal self again.
"so about that thing.. what was it anyway?" i ask. chan chokes on his drink. "oh just school work.." he replies once he regains composure. i'm slightly skeptical, but i don't bother question him. maybe he just had a bunch of work to catch up on.
when the waiter brings the bill i pull my wallet out from the front of my jeans. "don't bin. this is on me" chan playfully scowls, putting down a black card. my eyes widen a bit. i never caught myself thinking about his financial situation, but i also didn't know he would be so well off.
"why don't we go to the roof top? i heard the stars are going to be really vivid tonight" he smiles. "okay!" i grin back. he leads me to the restaurant steps and that's when i notice the scattered rose petals. "chan look! how pretty!"
"wait.. what if we interrupt someone up there? rose petals usually mean romance" i point out. "why don't we see then hm?" chan turns to give me his infamous grin. suddenly my normal sound judgement is out the window. when we get upstairs theres more roses and a sitting area with champagne and glasses.
chan gently pulls me to over to the area. we sit down in front of each other and i suddenly feel very giddy. "changbin.. my love.." chan hands me another rose from his shaking hand. "i've been looking for a way to do this right.."
"i know you don't always like super public displays of affection so i settled on this" he continued.
you mean so much to me changbin. you're handsome, funny, talented, sweet, and kind. ever since you entered my life i've been a more positive person. i want to float on this cloud of happiness with you forever. so.. would you do me the honor of becoming my boyfriend?" chan asks, resting his hands on my waist.
"chan.." i pause and he looks like he's nearly about to faint. "i would love to be your boyfriend" i exclaim, pulling him in for a kiss. it's slow and sweet. a tear falls down my cheek as we pull away. "whats wrong baby?" his eyes widen. "nono i'm fine.. just so happy"
"oh and changbin?" chan says. "hm?" i answer. it's chan's turn to pull me in for a kiss this time. when he pulls off he cracks open the champagne and pours us both some.
"did you know you're actually my gym crush?" he wiggles his eyebrows playfully. "oh shut up.." i laugh, snuggling into his arms. he wraps a big blanket around us both and i sigh contently. never in a thousand years did i imagine i could be so lucky.
