Your hand clenched onto your boyfriends tightly, sending waves of warmth through your cold body. You snuggled into his shoulder as you both walked down the dark, busy streets of Seoul. You felt cooped up, in your small apartment, and your boyfriend proposed that you take a walk together.
The cold nights wind attempted to fight its way through your jacket, making you colder than you already were. You looked across to your boyfriend to find that he was already gazing at you with his beautiful wide eyes. You were short, so having a short boyfriend, made your life a whole lot easier, and plus, he was super cute.
"Kyungsoo oppa. Want to go into that coffee shop?" You suggested, pointing out a well lit building with only a select few people inside.
Kyungsoo looked at you and smiled, before walking ahead of you, And opening the door wide, allowing you to walk in first. You marched into the shop, the warm, heated air hitting you, as you sent out a sigh of relief. You and your boyfriend made your way over to an empty table, and took your seets. You both removed your jackets and hung them on the back of your chairs, before holding each others hands with your own.
Staying seated for a while, you warmed up your bodies as Kyungsoo rubbed his thumbs over your hands as he held them tightly. Kyungsoo was quiet, and maybe that was why you were so attracted to him. He always striked you as mysterious and secretive, which is what initially drove you to him.
You liked the quietness. It was never awkward. It was almost as if you felt closer to him, when all you were doing, was looking into each others eyes.
Moments later, a pretty waitress with her hair pulled back approached our table.
"Hi, how are you going? May I interest you in anything to eat or drink?" She spoke politely, and as if she had almost rehearsed that line.
"Ah, yes thank you." Kyungsoo spoke, before looking over to me, as if to ask 'what would you like?' I smiled and shrugged back. "Um. Two Americano's please, and can I get the dessert selection number two."
"Sure thing. And is that all for the moment?" The waitress spoke as she scribbled things down on her small notepad.
"That is all thank you." Kyungsoo returned. He turned back to me, and grabbed my hands again, bringing warmth back to my body instantly.
You decided to test something. "Do you think she is pretty?" You asked, sounding natural, and as if it was a completely normal thing to ask.
"I guess so. She's not really my type." Kyungsoo replied, after a few seconds, sounding calm.
"What do you mean? But she IS pretty. What if she asked you out? What would you say?" You continued, instantly regretting how this conversation was going.
"I would say no. I have a girlfriend." Kyungsoo's face began to jumble, as he became confused at your questions.
"But what if I wasn't your girlfriend. What would you say THEN?" I continued, there was no turning back now. My self consciousness had gotten the better of me.
"I would say no." He replied simply.
"Why? Come on, she's gorgeous. You're telling me, that if she asked you out, you would say no?"
"Exactly. I would say no." He had sort of become more comfortable with the conversation, showing you that he had nothing to hide.
"But. Why?" You sounded almost hurt, as you slowly took your hands away from his, and began to twiddle your thumbs, avoiding eye contact.
"Because y/n. YOU are my ideal type. YOU are MINE, and I can't see myself being with anyone else." Kyungsoo clasped onto your hand and held it in his. He lifted your chin and smiled, warming you from the inside. "I. I love you." He confessed, blushing a little, but he kept his gaze, looking into your eyes. You froze, feeling a strange sensation wash over you, a good one.
"Two Americano's?" It was a male waiter this time, holding two mugs with steam rising out of the tops. He placed them down on the table and gave us a smile, before nodding and turning back around, walking back to the kitchen. Kyungsoo let go of your hand, smiling, feeling as if a weight had been lifted off his shoulders. He didn't mind that you didn't say it back right away, he just needed to tell you. He knew that you loved him, and that was what made him get out of bed every morning, knowing that the one he loves, loves him back.
The waiter returned with a long thin plate, filled with fruit, chocolate and decadent looking pastry goods. Kyungsoo smiled and bowed, as the waiter returned to the kitchen. Your boyfriend picked up something from the plate with his fork as he held it out to you, moving it closer to your mouth. You giggled, before eating it. You're eyes widened, as your taste buds exploded with happiness. "Mmm. Its delicious." You spoke after you swallowed your mouth full. You grabbed something else off the plate, and fed it to your boyfriend. His reaction was very similar to yours, which made you both laugh.
You both mucked around as you ate, laughing and feeding each other. Kyungsoo was acting so different, so carefree and fun. This experience brought you two closer, you both became comfortable. He let off a sense of safety and security. You felt safe in his arms and in his presence.
After you had finished your food and drink you both sat, looking into each others eyes. He held your hands in his, creating warmth.
"We've been together for two years now right?" Kyungsoo spoke softly. You nodded and widened your eyes, almost astonished at how quickly the time had flied.
He giggled at your cute reaction, before continuing, "and ah. Well. I have been wanting to do this for a while, but I felt as if you would feel rushed." You tilted your head to the side, unsure of where this converstation was headed. "And you know me, and how much I hate the whole clique stereotypical couple tradition." He looked down at the ground, a little nervous. "But, here." He said this as he held out a small box and placed it in font of you. You were shocked, but at the same time, was still confused. You grabbed the box and slowly opened he lid, revealing s beautiful, silver ring. You looked up to him, and your eyes met. "Will you marry me y/n?" A smile caked your face as you nodded your head quickly, before rising from your seat and meeting him in a warm hug. "I love you too Kyungsoo."
