Epilogue: The Couple Quiz
It was supposed to be a simple, harmless distraction from their busy lives. Do Yoon had found an online couple quiz, full of silly questions meant to test how well couples knew each other. He had suggested it with that mischievous glint in his eyes, knowing exactly how Ju Ha would react.
"Hyung," Do Yoon said, his voice light and teasing, "let's take this quiz together."
Ju Ha looked up from his phone, already knowing where this was going. "What kind of quiz?"
"It's a couple quiz!" Do Yoon said, his grin widening. "It'll be fun! You'll get to answer a bunch of questions about me, and I'll answer questions about you. We'll see how well we know each other."
Ju Ha raised an eyebrow. "Is this your way of trying to make me answer awkward questions about you?"
"No! I swear, it's just for fun!" Do Yoon insisted, leaning in a little closer, his face full of mischief. "Come on, hyung, you know you want to."
Ju Ha sighed but couldn't help the small smile that tugged at his lips. "Fine, whatever. Let's get this over with."
They sat down next to each other, and Do Yoon immediately pulled up the quiz on his phone. The first question popped up, and Do Yoon read it aloud.
"Okay, hyung, here's the first question: 'What's your partner's favorite food?'"
Ju Ha paused, thinking for a moment. "That's easy. It's—"
Before he could finish, Do Yoon cut in, "Wait, wait! You have to kiss me first before you answer." He leaned in dramatically, eyes sparkling. "It's part of the quiz rules."
Ju Ha rolled his eyes, but the smirk on Do Yoon's face made it hard for him to resist. With a sigh, he leaned forward, planting a quick kiss on Do Yoon's cheek. "There. Happy?"
"Ecstatic," Do Yoon said, his voice dripping with satisfaction. "Now, what's my favorite food?"
Ju Ha's face softened. "Spicy ramen. You could eat it every day if I let you."
"Correct!" Do Yoon exclaimed, tapping his phone to move to the next question. "Alright, next one. 'What's your partner's favorite color?'"
Ju Ha furrowed his brow, not needing to think long before he answered. "Black."
"Bingo!" Do Yoon said with a grin, but this time, his lips were dangerously close to Ju Ha's. "I think this one deserves a reward."
Before Ju Ha could react, Do Yoon kissed him on the lips, the soft press of his mouth lingering longer than Ju Ha expected. It was a sweet kiss, but the warmth of it settled deep inside Ju Ha, leaving him momentarily breathless.
"Okay, that's enough," Ju Ha said, pulling away just enough to meet Do Yoon's gaze, his face flushed. "I get it. Now let's keep going with the quiz."
Do Yoon only chuckled, clearly enjoying the effect his kisses were having on Ju Ha. "Sure, hyung. You're so easy to distract."
But Ju Ha wasn't one to let him have all the fun. He leaned in, his lips brushing against Do Yoon's ear as he whispered, "You're not the only one who can distract."
The next few questions came and went, but every time Ju Ha answered correctly, Do Yoon insisted on rewarding him with a kiss. Sometimes it was a peck on the cheek, sometimes it was a gentle press of lips to lips, lingering just long enough to make Ju Ha's heart race. And each time, Ju Ha found himself enjoying it more than he expected.
When the quiz reached the final question, Do Yoon read it out loud with a devilish grin. "Alright, hyung, here's the big one. 'What's the most romantic thing your partner has ever done for you?'"
Ju Ha blinked, surprised by the question. He hadn't really thought about it before, but as soon as the words left Do Yoon's lips, the answer came to him immediately. Without hesitating, he replied, "You kissed me at the school gates that day... and told everyone I was yours."
Do Yoon froze for a second, his smile faltering. Then, a slow, genuine smile spread across his face. "You remember that, huh?"
"Of course I do," Ju Ha replied softly, a blush creeping onto his cheeks. "It was... really romantic, I guess."
Do Yoon's eyes softened, and for a moment, the playful teasing was gone. He reached out, his hand gently cupping Ju Ha's cheek. "Well then," Do Yoon said, his voice a little more serious now, "I guess I'll have to make sure I keep topping that."
Before Ju Ha could respond, Do Yoon closed the distance between them, kissing him deeply. The kiss was slow and tender, and for a moment, nothing else in the world mattered. It was just the two of them, wrapped up in the intimacy of the moment, letting the world fade away.
When they finally pulled apart, Ju Ha couldn't help but laugh softly. "Well, I guess we passed the quiz."
"Definitely," Do Yoon said with a playful wink, brushing his thumb across Ju Ha's lips. "But I think I need to ask you one more question."
Ju Ha raised an eyebrow, his heart still fluttering from the kiss. "What's that?"
"Will you be my boyfriend?" Do Yoon asked, his voice full of warmth and sincerity.
Ju Ha blinked, his heart skipping a beat. He had already known the answer, but hearing Do Yoon say it out loud made his chest tighten in the best way. With a smile, he leaned in, giving Do Yoon a soft kiss before replying, "I already am."
Do Yoon's eyes lit up, and he grinned broadly. "Perfect. Now, what do we do next?"
Ju Ha chuckled, resting his forehead against Do Yoon's. "I guess we can start by finishing that quiz... but I'm not sure any question can top that."
Do Yoon's grin widened. "We'll see, hyung. We'll see."
