Soobin's pov

I head towards Kai's house to take him out for dinner, I know he's not a lover of luxury and that he feels uncomfortable in particularly elegant places, but once in a while it's romantic to recreate a scene from a romance movie, so last weekend I booked a table in the most luxurious restaurant in all of Seoul, with even two michelein stars, and I gave him a high fashion suit that matches mine.
I also bought a bouquet of white roses for the occasion, I can't wait to finally ask him... Now we go out every day for the past four months, we can practically consider ourselves a couple, and when we don't go out, we write to each other until late at night or we do video calls, it seems like the more I'm with him, the more I fall in love, as if I didn't already love him enough.
I finally arrive at his house, I get out of the car with the bouquet of roses and I ring the doorbell.
In the meantime, I rock myself on my feet trying to stay as calm as possible, which becomes practically impossible every time I see him.
"Hi Binnie! How elegant are we this evening!" Kai exclaims in his usual playful tone, that's why I love him, he's playful, innocent and fun, but still mature and reliable when needed... I look at him from head to toe and I remain amazed staring at him, I imagine his sisters helped a little with the make-up, eliminating the so-called imperfections of his face... Which I personally think he doesn't have, but it doesn't matter.
"Binnie! Are you there?" He asks me and I finally recover from the wonder I have before my eyes.
"Um... Yes, sorry, you look gorgeous tonight!" I tell him seeing him blush slightly.
"Thank you! You also look really good in this dark blue! What do you have in your hand?" He asks noticing my arm behind my back.
"Here, they're for you... I hope you like them... I thought they matched..." I give him the roses which he smells, blushing further, while his smile becomes even wider "Your personality" I finish the phrase as our eyes meet.
"My personality?" He asks me curiously.
"Well yes, pure, innocent, but still mature and with a heart full of love... People like you are rare, like these roses... Plus you are beautiful, both inside and out and so I believe that these white roses sum you up" I answer him and he hugs me giving me a kiss on the cheek.
"So many compliments! I'm not used to it, thanks Binnie!" Kai answers me.
"For you always puppy! Shall we go? There's a table waiting for us!" I answer him in turn.

When we arrive at the restaurant I open the door for him, taking him by the hand, trying to make him relax in such a particular environment as this.
"Soobin! How much did you spend on all of this?! Designer clothes, two star luxury restaurant, bouquet of white roses, you even took your father's Ferrari! What are you going to do?!" He asks me surprised.
"You'll see, however you know that money isn't a problem for me" I reply taking him inside, giving my name to the waiter "Good evening, I booked a table for two, Choi Soobin" I say.
"Oh, yes of course, this way gentlemen" The boy says, leading us to our table.
We sit down and decide what to order to then put the menus aside as we start chatting.
"Can you imagine what it would be like to live together puppy?" I tell him nonchalantly, testing the waters.
"It would be wonderful, watching films or animes together, cooking and eating while talking about our days and having fun, it would be wonderful, I wouldn't be able to stay away from you" He replies dreamily.
"I wouldn't be able to stay away from you either, I would give everything to be with you every second" I say in return, giving him a kiss on the back of his hand, making him blush.
"Do the gentlemen wish to order?" Asks the waiter arriving just at the right time.
"Yes, for me a stripped lobster" I reply.
"Swordfish for me" Kai orders.
"To drink a bottle of prosecco, the best you have, please" I order the drink, handing back the menus, we say thank you and when the waiter turns his back, Kai looks at me amazed.
I smile shyly, it makes me happy seeing he's enjoying all of this.
"You're fine with some wine, right?" I ask him, since I didn't even ask him if he wanted it or not.
"Of course! I'm curious on what surprise you have prepared for me! I already know it will be something romantic, I can't wait" He says excited smiling.

After dinner we go out for a walk on the bank of the Han River, enjoying the coolness of a spring evening, until we stop, sitting on a bench to look at the lights of the city in front and around us.
"How was dinner puppy, did you like it?" I ask him, taking his hand.
"I've never eaten so well in my life! Everything was wonderful Binnie!" He replies looking at me, our eyes meet and we smile, enjoying the moment, he puts his head on my shoulder and I put my head on his, remaining silent for a few minutes.
"I have to ask you a couple of things Kai" I tell him, standing up and making him stand up as well.
"Ask me everything Binnie!" He replies in his usual innocent and cute tone.
"Well... I already asked you once and you told me that you needed time, four months have passed now and my love for you has grown more and more, to the point that I can no longer be just a friend to you... I want to be more and it seems obvious that you think the same way too... Kai... Do you want to be my boyfriend?" I ask him taking a ring out of my pocket.
He remains speechless, mouth wide open that slowly turns into a smile, he hugs me, holding me close to him, almost strangling me and I can't help but laugh at his reaction.
"Of course I want to be your boyfriend!" He says, taking me by surprise and kissing me, holding my face so I can't move, I let myself go, deepening the kiss and sliding the ring onto his finger.
"I love you Kai" I say once we break apart, keeping my eyes glued to his.
"I love you too Binnie, what was the other thing you needed to ask me?" He asks me, trying to calm down for a moment.
"Would you like to live with me? Have our apartment" I ask him a little more nervously than before.
"Yes, to be honest I couldn't wait" He replies, I smile at him taking his hand and intertwining our fingers, we kiss once again and we start walking towards the car.
Once we arrive, I open the door for him and then I get into the car as well.
"Let's go home puppy" I say starting the engine and heading to, now our, apartment.

I open the door for him and I turn on the light, leaving him space to appreciate the first view of the house.
"Welcome home puppy" I tell him, walking in, taking off my shoes and giving him time to explore the apartment.
"It's huge! And it's gorgeous Binnie!" He says happily taking off his shoes too "The bedroom is so cute and cozy!" He adds.
"Do we want to inaugurate it, as well as our relationship?" I ask him a little mischievously, but leaving a frivolous note to the question.
"You know what? Why not! I'm in! Just... Treat me well" He tells me with his usual puppy-like attitude, still reluctant to take this step.
"Of course my love, you know that I could never hurt you or do anything that hurts you, let's take one step at a time, okay?" I tell him reassuring him.
"Okay" He replies pushing me onto the sofa, sitting on my lap and kissing me.
"I can't believe you're finally mine" I say between kisses.
"It doesn't seem true to me that you are my boyfriend, I mean Choi Soobin, one of the richest men in Korea, is dating me... An ordinary university student" He says giving me another kiss.
"Start believing it, because one day I will be your husband" I say smiling, taking his jacket off, starting to run my hands over his body.
His workouts with Taehyun are paying off.
"Oh my god! My husband! I have to start believing it then!" We start laughing and then spend our first night together as a couples.
