A STAR ON SET (SON CHAEYOUNG X F READER)

CHAPTER XXVI: THE PERFECT RING

TIME SKIP

The soft hum of spring breeze drifted through the open window of Sana's apartment, carrying the scent of blooming flowers.

You sat across from her, the two of you huddled over the cluttered table, stacks of paper and notes scattered between empty coffee cups.

Sana flipped through her part of the script, frowning as she tried to make sense of a character's arc, while you sat back, scribbling down final touches.

Breaking the silence, Sana glanced up at you, her eyes narrowing with a mischievous glint.

"So, how are things going with Chaeyoung? Still in the honeymoon phase, huh?"

You couldn't help but smile, warmth spreading across your chest at the mention of Chaeyoung's name.

"Yeah," you said, absentmindedly tapping your pen on the table. "Everything's perfect. Better than I ever could have imagined, honestly."

Sana chuckled, tossing her notes onto the table.

"I bet. You two are disgustingly cute," she teased. "Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if wedding bells are around the corner."

You snorted, not really taking her seriously at first, but then the thought hit you.

"Actually... I've thought about it," you confessed, the words slipping out before you could stop yourself.

Sana's eyes widened, her jaw dropping dramatically as she leaned forward.

"Wait, what? You're serious?" she gasped. "You're thinking about proposing? Sora!"

You laughed at her exaggerated reaction. "Yeah, I am. I've actually been looking at rings recently. I want to get one today, you know, since it's Chaeyoung's last day on set. It just feels... right."

Sana sat back, her mouth still agape, trying to process what you just said.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on. You're actually going to propose today?" She crossed her arms, shaking her head.

"Are you sure? I mean, I'm all for it, but don't you think it's a little soon? She's been so busy with filming."

You nodded, understanding her concern.

"I know, but it feels like the perfect time. She's been working so hard, and today's her big wrap-up. I want to make it special for her," you explained, the excitement bubbling in your chest.

"I've been thinking about it for a while. It just makes sense."

Sana sighed dramatically, but a smile tugged at the corners of her lips.

"Well, when you put it like that... I guess I can't argue. If anyone deserves that kind of happiness, it's you two." She leaned forward again, a more serious tone creeping into her voice.

"You really love her, huh?"

You met her gaze, your heart steady but full.

"More than I can put into words."

Sana smiled, clearly moved by your sincerity. "Alright then, if you're set on this, you're going to need my help picking out the perfect ring. I refuse to let you do this alone."

You laughed, standing up from your chair and gathering your things. "Deal. But first, let's finish this scene, and then we can head out."

Sana raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure you're not too distracted to work? I mean, you're about to make one of the biggest decisions of your life!"
