epilogue

the red carpet is buzzing with flashes from cameras and the hum of excited chatter as jake and soojin step out of the sleek black car. jake, dressed in a perfectly tailored suit, looks every bit the star he is, but tonight, his focus isn't just on the award show-it is on the woman beside him.

soojin, now his fiancée, walks arm in arm with him, radiant in a floor-length gown that shimmers under the lights. the world now knows her as jake's fiancée, but to him, she is more than any of that. soojin, the girl he met mistakenly. well, thanks to jay. the girl who was just to be his fan, is now standing beside him as his fiancée. the girl who had once cursed him out, the girl who even reported him to the police. jake's grip on soojin's hands tightens as he looks at her with a too-exciting grin.

She smiles up at him, squeezing his hands.

"ready for tonight?" she asks, her voice steady but her eyes sparkling with excitement.

Jake nods, but there is a playful smirk on his lips. "only if you're cheering loud enough, darling."

"of course."

they walk the red carpet together, posing for pictures, and Jake exchanges a few words with reporters. soojin stands by his side, perfectly poised, but she can't hide the glint of pride in her eyes before he joins his group members.

the atmosphere is electric, idols, actors, and influencers scatter throughout the room. as the night progresses, the anticipation build for the main award categories. soojin sits with heejin and yunchae, her bestest of friends, who has joined them to support enhypen as well.

as the announcer finally calls out, "Best Male Group goes to..."
the tension builds up inside soojin as she continuously prays for enhypen to win it.

"ENHYPEN!" the room erupts into applause. jake and his members stand up glowing under the shimmering lights. smiles stretching across their faces as they hug one another before heading to the stage.

soojin jumps up from her seat, too excited as her brain is still processing what has just happened. but still she's clapping with all her might, her heart swelling with pride. "yes!" she cheers, loud enough for heejin to laugh as yunchae joins her, screaming even louder.

on stage, jake takes the mic, trying to stay composed amid the overwhelming moment. his australian accent coming out as he says, "thank you to all the fans, our team, and of course, to my brothers, the members of enhypen. we wouldn't be here without your support," his eyes glistening with overwhelm.

he pauses for a second, his gaze sweeping the crowd until his eyes land on soojin. a soft smile tugs at his lips, and for a brief moment, it is as if the noise of the room has faded.

"and... to someone extraordinary who's here tonight, my fiancée soojin. thank you for being my strength and for always being by my side. this one's for you too. and to the fans who have supported us 'till now, it wouldn't be possible without them, the best fandom in the whole world," he proudly smiles looking at the crowd.

soojin's heart skips a beat, her face flushing with emotion as she grins widely. yunchae leans over, whispering, "he just shouted you out in front of the whole world."

heejin giggles, "don't cry tonight."

soojin laughs softly, feeling a mix of love and happiness swell inside her. as jake and the group leave the stage, holding their trophy, he glances back at her, sending a quick wink.

jake runs to her briefly, with the trophy still in his hands. as soon as he gets there she engulfs him in a warm embrace.

"thanks. for everything and for..." he lifts the trophy to show her. "this," he quickly pecks her lips.

"did i cheer loud enough?" she chuckles as he nods with a grin.

"that's all I need. as long as you're cheering, i'll never stop winning."

"woohoo," it's jay who comes behind jake. "what did i miss?"

"something you'd probably cringe over," yunchae laughs.

later on they all gather together, jake's friends and soojin's mixing together to take photos. "and now!" yunchae is the one taking photos from her phone this time.

"please, the couple separate," still holding her phone.

jake and soojin stand in front of her phone camera posing as he pecks her cheek.

click click click.

"include me, please!" jay shoves everyone away as he stands beside jake. "trio pic now!"

yunchae smiles. "fine."

click click click.

"what is it called with a group of four then?" yunchae asks as she flips the camera to the front, ready to take selfies.

"a quartet?"

click.

"what about me?" heejin smacks yunchae's arm.

"stop fighting you two!"

"right, she's closer to getting married. we should practice not fighting, you know," yunchae whispers remembering the promise they made before.

"we will stop fighting when you get married to jake."

suddenly all of those memories flash back in soojin's memory.

she looks at jake as he's smiling unlike anything before, his gaze then falling to hers as they lock eyes. she sees it all over again, his eyes talking to hers, mouthing infinite amounts of i love you's.

THE END.

where's the trophy?
he just comes running over to me🫶
