Bright guided Win to the yacht he rented out for the whole night.
Win asked, "Am I missing something here?"
"Are we celebrating something that I forgot about?" Win's second question
Bright chuckled, shaking his head in amusement
Bright answered, "No. So, don't worry your pretty little head, babe."
Win raised an eyebrow, "Then what is the yacht for? Just for a casual dinner?"
Bright lightly flicked Win's forehead, "You ask too many questions."
Win rolled his eyes, "Alright, alright."
"Is my whole family here already?" Win asks
His question got answered when they reached the middle part of the yacht
After making sure that everyone was onboard, the yacht started to sail
Gemini ran to him, "P'Win!"
Win chuckled, "Hey." he ruffled Gemini's hair
Win could also see Bright's whole family
He turned to Bright and said, "Love, I really feel like I forgot about an occasion that we're gonna be
celebrating tonight."
Bright gave him an assuring smile, "Trust me, you're not forgetting anything."
Bright offered his left hand to Win and Win gladly held it
They made their way to their families
Win politely greeted Bright's parents as Bright did the same to his parents

They settled to their seats to eat dinner
"The night is so beautiful. Thank you, Bright." Wina said, smiling
Bright smiled back, "No worries, auntie."
Then he said, "Everyone, please, eat well." and they started to eat
"Wow, dad, my birthday is coming up, right? I think I know now what gift I want." Pond started a conversation with a smile
"Don't be silly, hun." Brina, his mother, said while shaking her head in amusement
Bright followed, "You should focus on passing your studies instead of thinking of owning a yacht in your age."
His dad shrugged, "Well, we can't oppose that." that caused them to laugh
"P'Win!" Pond complained to Win
Win nodded at him, "Send me the picture of the yacht and your P'Bright will buy it for you."
Bright widened his eyes at that and Pond cheered
"And that's where it ends. Your brothers now knows the easiest way to get you to say yes." Brina said, causing them to laugh again

In the middle of their dinner ...
Everyone was busy talking to each other
"Hey, thank you." Win whispered to Bright
Bright looked at him and smiled, "The night's not over yet, babe."
Win raised his eyebrow at him, 'What? There's more?"
Bright nodded, he was still smiling then he took a sip of his wine
Win asked, "But it couldn't be more grander than this?"
Bright shrugged his shoulders, "It could be."

After eating, they carried on sipping the wine on the long seat by the railing.
Dunk said, "Phi, I've been considering getting a dog for a while now."
Win asked him, "What type of dog?"
"Pomeranian, phi. A white pomeranian." Dunk's answer
Win asked, "Will mom and dad be okay with it?"
"I've already asked them about it, phi, and they said okay." Dunk nodded
"What about P'Tay? What did he say?" Win's third question,
Dunk responded, "He's also okay with it, phi. He was actually the one who told me to get a Pomeranian when I was contemplating whether to get a Pomeranian or a Chihuahua."
Win nodded back, "Alright then."
Dunk hugged Win, "Yay! Thank you, P'Win!"
Win patted his back, "You guys should not be afraid asking me for something trivial like this."
Win added, "Just make sure you'll take full responsibility of that dog."
Dunk gladly nodded at that
Dew asked Dunk, "You're really getting one?"
Dunk answered, "Well, yeah."
Bright asked him, "Do you already have an idea where to get one?"
Dunk shook his head, "Not yet, phi."
"Joong, take him to your P'William. William is my friend and he owns a pet shelter. You can either buy or adopt one from there." said by Bright
Joong chuckled, "That's my plan, phi."
"Thank you, P'Bright." Dunk politely said, smiling
Bright smiled back, "No worries."
Bright wrapped an arm around Win's waist and said, "Oh, right, love, I'll just talk to P'Tay."
Win nodded at him, "Alright, go ahead."
He also excused himself to his brother Joong, to Dunk, and Dew
Then he gave Win's waist a gentle squeeze before heading to Tay's direction
He walked past Pond and Gemini who was busy talking about every building the yacht passed by
He reached Tay who was talking to Phuwin
Phuwin laughed while shaking his head, "You gotta be kidding me, phi."
Tay snickered, "I'm serious here, Phu!"
Bright spoke, "Mind if I cut through your conversation, guys?"
Phuwin smiled, "Not at all, phi."
Bright raised his wine glass towards Tay and Tay shared a toast with him
Phuwin excused himself, "I'll just go to them."
"I doubt that this is just a casual dinner." Tay raised an eyebrow at him, trying to catch him
Bright chuckled, "Didn't know you're quite an observant, P'Tay."
Tay said, "Well, be thankful Win lacks in that department." then the two of them laughed
Then he became serious as he said, "But if you're gonna do what I think you've planned to do tonight, there'd be no backing away, Bright."
Tay added, "For a lifetime."
"That thought never crossed my mind, phi." said by Bright
Tay nodded and patted his shoulder, "Very well then. I'm rooting for you."
Tay spoke again, "I know you'd take a really good care of my brother."
Bright gave him a wai, "Thank you so much, P'Tay."

Bright stood beside Win, "Hey, babe, can you come with me for a second?"
"I'll just borrow your P'Win for a while." Bright said to Win's younger brothers
Dunk smiled, "Sure, phi."
Dew nodded, "Go ahead, phi."
The twins gladly nodded
Win asked him, "Where are we going?"
"To the deck." Bright's response then the two went down to the deck
Bright leaded Win to the middle, holding his both hands
Win was looking at him with a confused expression
Win asked, "Why are you smiling like that?" that caused Bright to laugh
"And now, you're laughing. What's happening?" Win's second question
Bright shook his head in amusement then breathed in and out while thinking, 'This it it' .
He started, "We've come this far, my love." then he continued, "We achieved a lot of things."
Bright kept on speaking, "And at this point, we almost have everything,  there's just one thing missing."
Bright slowly kneeled down, letting go of Win's hands to put out the box of ring that he's been hiding inside his pocket
Win gasped, widening his eyes then he covered his mouth using his hands
Bright opened the small red box and spoke again, "I know all of your priorities, babe."
He continued on speaking, "I also know your responsibilities to your siblings, to your work, and to other things. I have no intention to be a hindrance to any of that. Instead, let me help you. If you feel like it's getting too heavy just lean on me and I'll help you carry it. I got you, always."
Bright added, "Now, will you grant the biggest wish of this kneeling man in front of you to be tied to you for a lifetime?"
Then he popped the question, "Will you marry me, Win?"
And Win has been crying for a while now
Win sobbed, "Yes, of course, Bright, I'll marry you." then he opened his arms for Bright
Bright widely smiled, standing up to hug Win
Win hugged him tight, he was still sobbing causing Bright to chuckle
Bright gently patted Win's back, "Hush now, babe."
The loud cheers from their family caused them to pull away from the hug and looked up at them
Bright took a step back and held Win's left hand, wearing the ring on his left ring finger
Win looked at his left hand while smiling
Bright asked him, "Ready for my last surprise for tonight, sweet heart?"
Win looked at him, "There one more?"
Bright just smiled at him
Then all of a sudden, the night sky was full of colors
A fireworks show just started
Win reacted, "Woah."
Bright looked at Win, he didn't need to look at the fireworks to see how beautiful it was, he could see
how it reflected on Win's face
Win looked back at Bright, "Thank you, Bright."
Win continued, "Not just for tonight, but for everything. I am thankful for your life and I couldn't even be more thankful for having you in my life. I am thankful for you, always."
"I love you too, babe." Bright kissed Win's forehead
Win rolled his eyes, "Psh."
"Not the usual way to say 'you're welcome' but alright." Win said, focusing on the fireworks again
Bright chuckled
