CHAPTER TWENTY EIGHT: ALL IN

The morning sun streamed through Heeseung’s apartment, casting a warm glow over the living room. Sunghoon woke up wrapped in Heeseung’s arms, his head resting on Heeseung’s chest, listening to the steady rhythm of his heartbeat. It was moments like these that made everything worth it—all the awkward encounters, the misunderstandings, and the unexpected twists that had brought them together.

Heeseung stirred, opening his eyes and smiling sleepily at Sunghoon. “Good morning.”

“Morning,” Sunghoon replied, feeling a rush of warmth at how soft and genuine Heeseung’s smile was. It was still surreal to him, waking up next to the man who had once driven him crazy but now felt like home.

“Got any plans today?” Heeseung asked, brushing a stray hair out of Sunghoon’s face.

Sunghoon shrugged, savoring the lazy morning. “Just the usual—maybe catching up on some work.” Heeseung gave him a playful frown, and Sunghoon chuckled. “Kidding. I cleared my schedule.”

“Good,” Heeseung said, stretching out before pulling Sunghoon closer. “Because I have something planned.”

Sunghoon raised an eyebrow, curious. “What’s the plan?”

Heeseung’s eyes sparkled with a mix of excitement and nervousness. “It’s a surprise. Just… dress nicely.”

Sunghoon rolled his eyes, amused by Heeseung’s attempt at being mysterious. “Is this another one of your spontaneous dates?”

“Maybe,” Heeseung said, grinning as he got up, dragging Sunghoon out of bed. “You’ll see.”

A few hours later, Sunghoon found himself in a beautiful rooftop garden overlooking the city. The scene was straight out of a romance movie—fairy lights, a cozy table set for two, and a stunning view of the sunset. Sunghoon felt his breath hitch as he took it all in. Heeseung had gone all out, and it made Sunghoon’s heart swell with affection.

Heeseung guided Sunghoon to the table, pulling out a chair for him. “What do you think?”

“It’s… perfect,” Sunghoon admitted, feeling a mix of awe and disbelief. “I don’t even know what to say.”

Heeseung smiled, looking more nervous than Sunghoon had ever seen him. “There’s just one thing I want to do before we eat.”

Sunghoon watched as Heeseung reached into his pocket, pulling out a small box. Sunghoon’s eyes widened, his heart racing as Heeseung got down on one knee.

“Heeseung—”

“I know this is sudden,” Heeseung began, his voice slightly shaky but filled with determination. “But I don’t want to waste any more time. Sunghoon, you’ve been the best mistake of my life—the weird blind date that turned into something I never expected. You challenge me, make me laugh, and drive me insane in the best ways. I don’t want a life without you in it.”

Heeseung opened the box, revealing a simple but elegant ring. “Will you marry me?”

Sunghoon was stunned, his mind racing as he tried to process the moment. He looked at Heeseung, who was staring up at him with hopeful eyes, and it hit him—Heeseung wasn’t just a boss, a date gone wrong, or an unexpected love interest. He was the person Sunghoon wanted to share his life with, all the ups and downs, all the awkward moments and stolen kisses.

Sunghoon blinked back tears, feeling a rush of emotions he couldn’t quite describe. “You’re insane, you know that?”

Heeseung laughed, relief flooding his features. “Is that a yes?”

Sunghoon smiled, nodding as he pulled Heeseung to his feet. “Yes, you idiot. Of course, it’s a yes.”

Heeseung slipped the ring onto Sunghoon’s finger, and Sunghoon couldn’t help but marvel at how right it felt. They kissed, the kind of kiss that spoke of promises, laughter, and a future they were ready to face together.

📌🖇

The news of their engagement spread like wildfire, becoming the latest office gossip and making headlines once again. But this time, Sunghoon didn’t care about the whispers or the curious stares. Heeseung and Sunghoon navigated the attention with humor, playfully teasing each other about their unexpected journey from awkward blind date to soon-to-be-married couple.

They spent their days working side by side, their banter and playful flirtation lighting up even the most mundane office meetings. After work, they would walk home together, sharing stories about their day, discussing wedding plans, and laughing about the chaos they had caused.

One evening, as they lay on Heeseung’s couch, watching the city lights flicker through the window, Sunghoon turned to Heeseung, his heart full. “You know, if you’d told me a few months ago that I’d be here with you, planning a wedding, I would have laughed in your face.”

Heeseung grinned, pulling Sunghoon closer. “And yet, here we are.”

Sunghoon snorted. “All because of a messed-up blind date.”

Heeseung smirked. “Best mistake I ever made.”

Sunghoon smiled, kissing Heeseung softly. “Me too.”

They settled into the quiet of the evening, their fingers intertwined as they dreamed about the future. Sunghoon knew that there would still be challenges, awkward moments, and days when nothing went as planned. But with Heeseung by his side, it didn’t seem so daunting.

They were no longer just the mismatched pair from a disastrous date—they were partners, best friends, and now, fiancés. And as they looked out at the city, it was clear that whatever came next, they were ready to face it together.

Because for all the twists and turns that had led them here, Sunghoon wouldn’t change a thing. Not one weird joke, awkward moment, or unexpected confession. In Heeseung, he had found not just love but a place where he truly belonged.

And that, Sunghoon thought as Heeseung squeezed his hand, was the best ending he could have ever hoped for.
