Jeongin was a bundle of nerves as the night he had meticulously planned finally arrived. He wanted everything to be perfect, and his hyungs had eagerly stepped in to help make this a night you would never forget. With the dorm transformed into a cozy, intimate "restaurant," every detail was set for the most important question Jeongin had ever prepared to ask.
When you arrived, your heart fluttered with anticipation. Something about tonight felt different—there was a magic in the air, in the way Jeongin had been acting all week, that made you both nervous and excited. As you knocked on the door, it swung open to reveal Chan, dressed sharply in black, a small notepad in hand as he played the role of hostess.
"Good evening, Y/N," Chan greeted with a warm, professional smile, bowing slightly. "Welcome to Chez Stray Kids. May I take your coat?"
You laughed softly, slipping off your coat and handing it to him. "Thank you, Chan. You look very official tonight."
"Only the best service for you. Let me show you your table," he quipped, hanging up your coat with a flourish before leading you inside. The dorm's living room had been completely transformed. Soft fairy lights were draped across the ceiling, casting a warm glow over the room. In the center stood a table for two, covered with a white tablecloth, candles, and a small vase of flowers.
Jeongin was already at the table, looking both handsome and nervous. When he saw you, his eyes lit up, and he stood to greet you, his usual shyness replaced by a tender, loving smile.
"Y/N, you look beautiful," Jeongin said softly, taking your hand and kissing it lightly, sending a shiver up your spine.
"And you look incredibly handsome," you replied, a bit breathless as you took in the scene. "This is all so perfect, Innie."
Jeongin blushed at the compliment, pulling out your chair for you to sit. "I wanted tonight to be special," he said quietly, before taking his seat across from you.
As soon as you were seated, Han appeared, dressed as a waiter with a bowtie and holding two menus. He handed one to each of you, his expression serious but playful.
"Good evening, ma'am and sir," Han said in a mock-formal tone. "Here are your menus. I'll be back shortly to take your order."
You opened the menu, only to find it listed just one appetizer, one main course, and one dessert. It was charming, really, how the boys had planned it all out. You glanced up at Jeongin, who was biting his lip to keep from laughing.
When Han returned, he took out a pen and paper, pretending to be ready to write down your order, as if there were actual choices to be made.
"So, what would you like to start with tonight?" Han asked, his pen poised.
Playing along, you grinned. "Hmm, I think I'll have the bruschetta as an appetizer."
"Excellent choice," Han said, scribbling something down with exaggerated seriousness before turning to Jeongin. "And for you, sir?"
"I'll have the bruschetta as well," Jeongin replied, struggling to keep a straight face.
"Very good," Han said, pretending to write down Jeongin's "order" before asking for your selections for the main course and dessert, which he took just as seriously.
"Your order will be out shortly," Han said with a wink as he collected the menus and disappeared into the kitchen.
You and Jeongin shared a laugh, the playful atmosphere making you feel at ease despite the underlying nerves you knew Jeongin was feeling.
"I think they're enjoying this more than we are," you said, smiling warmly at Jeongin.
He smiled back, reaching across the table to take your hand. "I just wanted tonight to be perfect for you."
"It already is," you assured him, giving his hand a gentle squeeze.
As you waited for your "meal," Felix appeared, carrying a tray with two glasses of wine. His playful energy lit up the room as he set the glasses down with a flourish.
"For the lovely couple," Felix said, making sure to top off your glass with just a little extra, giving you a mischievous grin. "Don't worry, Y/N. I'll make sure your glass stays full."
"Thank you, Felix," you replied, amused by his attention to detail.
"Anything for you guys," Felix said before heading back to the kitchen.
The night continued with Lee Know appearing as the "chef," presenting each course with a proud smile. Changbin and Hyunjin took on the task of clearing the table, doing so with exaggerated care. Changbin pretended to tiptoe as he collected the plates, earning a giggle from you and an eye roll from Jeongin.
"Wow, you two should open a restaurant with these skills," Jeongin teased as he watched them carefully stack the dishes.
"Maybe we will," Changbin shot back with a grin. "But only if Hyunjin's the one washing the dishes."
Hyunjin feigned offense, placing a hand over his heart. "Please, I'm more of a front-of-house kind of guy. I'll just make sure everything looks good."
You laughed as Hyunjin wiggled his eyebrows at you, clearly enjoying the fun they were all having with their roles.
Finally, after dessert had been served and the plates cleared, Jeongin stood up and walked around the table, holding out his hand to you.
"Y/N," he began, his voice full of emotion, "can you stand up for a moment?"
You took his hand, your heart pounding as he led you to the center of the room. The other boys had gone quiet, watching from the kitchen with anticipation as Jeongin reached into his pocket and pulled out a small velvet box.
"I've loved you from the moment I met you," Jeongin said, his voice trembling with sincerity. "You've made me happier than I ever thought I could be, and I want to spend the rest of my life making you as happy as you've made me."
He got down on one knee, opening the box to reveal a stunning engagement ring. "Will you marry me?"
Tears welled up in your eyes as you looked down at him, overwhelmed by the love in his eyes and the sincerity in his voice. You nodded, unable to find your voice at first, and then finally managed to say, "Yes, Jeongin, of course I'll marry you."
As soon as the words left your lips, the room erupted in cheers. Jeongin slipped the ring onto your finger, standing up to pull you into his arms. He kissed you deeply, sealing the promise you had just made to each other, and you could feel his smile against your lips.
The other boys quickly surrounded you, all talking at once in their excitement. Felix was the first to hug you both, nearly knocking you over in his enthusiasm, while Han pretended to wipe away a tear.
"I knew you'd say yes!" Felix cheered, his smile wide and bright.
"Congratulations!" Chan added, clapping Jeongin on the back. "You did great, Innie."
Lee Know patted you on the shoulder, grinning. "Welcome to the family, Y/N. We're so happy to have you."
Changbin and Hyunjin exchanged proud nods, still holding the now-empty plates. "Guess we'll just have to celebrate even more now," Changbin said, chuckling.
"You can bet on it," Hyunjin agreed, setting the plates aside so he could join in the group hug that soon followed.
As the boys continued to cheer and celebrate around you, you and Jeongin stayed close, your hands intertwined as you soaked in the moment. The love and support from the boys made everything even more special, and you couldn't stop smiling as you looked at your fiancé, knowing that this was just the beginning of your forever together.
