with shaking hands dripping in cold sweats sunghoon fixed the collar of his white shirt that was softly tucked inside his black pleated pants that were held in place by a belt, his raven hair divided into a side part with one side more voluminous than the other while a bouquet of daisies was grasped between his slender fingers. he pressed the circular doorbell on the side of her door right below the number of her apartment, hearing the sound echo through the house before the door swung open only for his boba eyes to land on an unfamiliar feminine figure.

the girl eyed him from head to toe with an uncertain look twisting her features which just made him more difficult as he nervously swallowed his saliva, adam's apple moving up and down before licking his chapped lips. "you must be sunghoon, aren't you?" hoon nodded instantly and bowed his head deeply to whoever was standing before him, assuming she must be related to hari in some way or another and wanting to make a good impression on her.

"y-yes, nice to meet you." he cleared his throat at the stutter that manged to escape his full lips, mentally cursing himself for showing such an obvious sign of nervousness whilst a barely noticeable crimson tint slowly spread on his face. "so you're the one that knocked her up, huh? do you have any idea of what-"

"are you done torturing my boyfriend, minju?" hari's delicate voice could be heard not so far from where they were standing along with the clicking sound of heels on the ground, walking towards the door arranging the things inside her purse as sunghoon's jaw almost dropped to the ground.

she was rocking a plain black minidress with short puffed sleeves that reached a few inches above her knees and that perfectly hugged her curves, paired with a pair of black heels and a white cardigan to keep her warm from the chilly weather while her hair was styled into a half up bun leaving her chocolate waves cascading down her shoulders. her bunny-like features were enhanced by some light make up, the color of her plump lips matching the one on her cheeks as some glittery eyeshadow made her doe eyes stand out and a dot of highlighter on the corner of her eyes and on the tip of her nose made her glow even more than she already way.

he swore she had to be some nymph that the heavens sent to him as a blessing in disguise, because there was no way someone could ever be as breath-taking as her.

"are those.. for me?" the girl questioned with a shy grin once her dark irises landed on the flowers he was clutching so tightly as if he wanted to suffocate them, snapping the boy back to reality who by now had been staring at her for a while as he glanced at them for a second before nodding his head outstretching his arm for her to take them, feeling her friend's pointed look following his every action.

"listen no protection guy, bring her home by eleven pm or i'll make sure you'll never see her again." hari playfully hit minju's head to which she let out a small 'ouch' caressing the spot she just got smacked on, the pregnant girl finally walking out of the door holding the bouquet she previously took from his trembling hands between her torso and arm before linking their arms together. "i'm twenty-one years old minju, i'm old enough to look after myself. now stop blabbering threats and let us go."

sunghoon didn't even get the time to greet her friend since his future spouse dragged him away from her apartment, quickly pressing the circular button with an arrow facing downwards to call the elevator before the other could bother them further. "boyfriend, hmm?" the heir finally got the chance to bring this up, recalling how she referred to him as her boyfriend when they haven't made anything official yet. don't get him wrong, he felt like his heart could explode at any moment when that word escaped her mouth.

"i mean, aren't we dating? we're getting married in two weeks, so i thought it was obvious we had something going on between us." she explained carefully afraid she might've done the wrong thing by overstepping with such relationship status, analyzing his features that didn't seem to display any sign of dislike.

a faint ding signaled them that the elevator had arrived on their floor, both stepping inside of it once the metallic doors slid on the sides before hari heaved out a deep yet shaky breath with all the anxiety of meeting his parents eventually sinking into her. he intertwined their fingers and squeezed her hand lightly to reassure her, smiling faintly at her once she looked up at him while his thumb caressed the back of her hand. "don't be nervous, i'm sure it'll go well. and if they don't like you, i won't let that get in the way of your wedding, don't worry."
