Make Me || O.de

69

As I began gathering my stuff up since everybody else had left the party, I felt a hand grab onto my wrist to stop me from packing up. Looking up I see Hyeongjun smiling at me.

"Hey," I smile, him then pointing over to the rooftop.

"There's something up there for you," he says as he then lets go of my wrist and ushers me towards the door. I look at him with a confused look as I slowly open the door, looking back at Hyeongjun as he smiles at me.

I let out a nervous sigh as I then walk up the steps to the rooftop door, pushing the door open as my eyes then met with Seungmin who was standing under a floral arch with lights twisted around it, a candle path leading me to him.

Looking around, it was just the both of us which made me even more confused.

"Hey, Min," Seungmin smiles as he gestures for me to go over to him. I slowly close the door as I then approach him, being mindful of the candles and being sure not to knock them over or sent myself on fire. "Well?", he says, breaking the silence.

"Well what?", I ask as I look up to him.

"What do you think?", he looks at me with nervous look. I let out a small laugh, smiling as I looked around us.

"I think it's beautiful," I say, "Is this what you've been doing the whole party?"
He then nods his head with a proud look, "Just wanted to make sure it was perfect for you."

"Seungmin.." I then start, "what's this really for?"

He lets out a quick sigh as he reaches into his back pocket, taking out two very familiar bee rings.

My eyes widen as I then remember where it's from, "oh my god, Seungmin!", I let out a small laugh as I take one, "you still have these?"

"Never got rid of them."

I was left speechless as I took a good look at the ring.

"We made a promise with these rings," he then starts, "if we both didn't get married by the time we're both thirty, we'd marry each other."

I let out a small laugh, "Ok, calm down, we just graduated college. We're not getting married.", I smile as I lock gazes with him.

"Of course not!", he laughs as he then helps me put the ring on my index finger, "but we did make a bet with each other.. I had to make you fall for me, and I'm pretty sure I won but I'd like to get your view on it."

My smile then drops as I remembered about it. To be honest, I had kind of forgotten all about it.. I've just been enjoying my time with Seungmin.

"Minjae," Seungmin sighs, "we met in daycare, went through kindergarten, middle school, high school and a bit of college together. We've gone through everything together, and yet after all those years of knowing one another.. my favourite memory with you is the day I met you, when I started our friendship by giving you that muffin which gave you the nickname Muffin-Jae.", he then sighs as he holds onto my hand, pointing to the ring, "In middle school.. I gave you this ring and we made our first promise. To stay friends forever. In high school, we made that promise to marry each other if both of us were single by the age of thirty. In the first year of college, those both went south. We stopped being friends and I thought we were never going to be friends again but Jiseok decided to be an idiot and fall into you when he and Jooyeon were playing around.."

I let out a small laugh at the end.

Seungmin then continues, "After that we merged our group, got closer, and now we're here. Graduating together once again."

"Get to the point!", I hear from behind me, turning around I see Jooyeon being pulled back into the hall by Hyeongjun and Eunmin. Seungmin and I let out a small laugh as he then nods his head, "I guess I took too long with that speech.. I had more prepared but it's cold up here and I don't want to keep you waiting."

I then turn back to Seungmin with a small smile as he then takes a small step forward.
"Is it safe to say I won the bet? Have you fallen for me?"

I then push him away from me in a playful manner as I sigh.

"You know I hate it when you win.."

His face immediantly lightens up as he looks at me with wide eyes, holding onto my hands again, a nervous smile.

"Jan Minjae, may I be your boyfriend?"

I nod my head with a smile. He smiles as he then lets go of my hands, pulling me in to a soft hug.

"I'll treat you right, I promise."

We then suddenly break the kiss at the sudden cheering behind us again. Turning around, I see Gunil, Hyeongjun, Jooyeon and Eunmin jumping in joy.

"About time, I was going insane with having to keep it to myself!", Eunmin squeals as she jumps onto Gunil's back. Seungmin and I both laugh as we see Gunil stumble over at the sudden weight change.

I then cup his cheeks as I connect our lips, him immediantly kissing me back as he leans down a bit due to the height difference and wrapping his arms around my waist. He then breaks the kiss, resting his forehead on mine.

"Thanks for choosing me, Muffin-Jae."
