This time, Taesan informed Leehan about his arrival, unlike last time when he surprised the other in the middle of the night.
In the morning, Taesan went to pick up Leehan. They went to a new café Leehan had noticed opening recently. It was cozy and had a comforting ambiance. They had breakfast there, eating together after a long time felt heavenly.
As soon as Taesan requested him to plan the day, the fish-lover boy got super excited and planned from early morning till night. Such a day rarely came so, he was determined to fully utilize it.
Heading out from the café, they went to the shopping mall. Leehan wanted to buy some jackets since winter was approaching. Chit-chatting, they selected a few clothes, some for Leehan and some for Taesan as well since Leehan wanted to gift him one.
After they were done with the shopping, they went to the arcade.
It had been long since they played games. More than winning the game, they wanted to spend quality time together.
They had fun competing.
Leehan had heard a lot about this famous old Korean restaurant, so they went to the Northwestern end of Seoul, Eunpyeong-gu. It was slightly far but they wanted to treasure their time together and the view of beautiful Bukhansan erased all their tiredness.
Samcheolli Valley Pork Diner, a healing spot inside the city that has been running for more than 60 years was their destination.
The diner indeed was up to their expectation. The experience of dining beside the stream was ecstatic. They went with the most popular dish there, potato jeon and seafood jeon, for the appetizer, and Baeksuk with medicinal herbs and smoked duck as their main dish.
To finish it off, they had watermelon for dessert.
They couldn't miss this chance so, they dived into the water, of course, up to knees only since they hadn't brought a change of their clothes. They borrowed the water guns from the kids there and let their inner kid shine through.
Leehan already booked the ticket for Kunfu Panda 4. As the last event of the day, they went to an open-air cinema. This was a new experience as well. Enjoying the movie under the glittering sky, right on the rooftop of the Mall. Leehan wrapped himself with the blanket provided there and invited Taesan to follow suit. The CEO happily joined his boyfriend in the two-person cabana.
Laughing together, talking about random stuff, and relishing one another's company, the day was well spent. All the little touches, sweet kisses, soft hugs sent warmth in their heart.
On the way back, Leehan noticed it was not the path to his apartment.
"Hmm... just because you spent some time abroad, have you forgotten the way to my place?"
"Maybe... who knows?" Taesan wriggled his eyebrows.
"Seriously, you still have the energy to go somewhere else after the entire day?"
"What are you talking about? Today I was gaining energy. Now I am fully recharged."
Leehan wondered where this guy got the drive from, while he wanted nothing more than to go to his room and sleep.
After a short drive, they were now at the top of Namsan Tower, a popular couple spot.
Since it was past midnight, only a few people were there.
It was not freezing cold, but a little chill so, Leehan was rubbing his hands together.
Taesan handed him the jacket they bought earlier.
"Thanks. Our purchase came in handy!" Leehan beamed.
Taesan could melt at that sweet eye smile. Maybe due to the cold weather or Leehan's natural charm, he seemed ethereal. His eyes were shining, the tips of his nose were a bit red, his cheekbones stood out, his lips were glossy, the hair falling just to add beauty!
Seeing his CEO boyfriend dazed, Leehan nudged him.
"Hey, enthusiastic boy. Why are we here after a long day, instead of being wrapped up in the blanket?"
Taesan was brought back from his stupor.
"To enjoy the view."
"Today, out of all days? At this time?"
"Don't be such a wuss. Seoul is ours tonight. Let's rizz up all night~" Taesan whistled.
"What's with you? I can be unpredictable at times but you are topping me at the moment." Aww... that beautiful laughter from Leehan.
"So you are aware of your randomness." Taesan teased.
Leehan playfully punched him in the chest, which was very much deserved.
Taesan held Leehan's hand and they walked side by side for a while. The night view of Seoul was truly captivating.
They were both admiring the beauty of the night lights when Taesan spoke with sincerity.
"Thank you, Leehan, for today. It was indeed a healing day for me."
Leehan turned to see the other and seeing the solemn face of the other, he felt something was on the way.
"To be honest, not only for today. I want to thank you for all the time we have been together. You understand me so well and comply with all my antics. You give me space when needed. I have seen couples breaking up when one of them is too busy but you are always there supporting me. You never complained when I was not able to give you enough time. You make me want to be a better version of myself for us."
"What's with this sudden sappiness?" Leehan was astonished.
Even though they have been together for more than a year now, they rarely had such heart-to-heart confessions. They cringed at the mere thought of it. So, Leehan couldn't help but tear up a little.
Taesan took out something from his pocket.
It was a ring... oh my goodness... it's happening.
"Kim Donghyun, would you promise to be with me for another 400 years."
Leehan had been waiting for this day, but when it was actually happening, he didn't know how to respond. He froze for a moment. However, seeing the expectant eye of his handsome boyfriend in front, he spoke.
"I promise!" Leehan hugged the nervous boy.
They exchanged the promise ring, a simple, platinum ring with their initials written on the inner side. Taesan kissed Leehan's hand which was now bearing their promises to one another.
Taesan tearing up was a rare sight to see, so Leehan wanted to tease a little but he didn't want to ruin the vibe so, he held back for now.
Later~ is what he thought. How could the kitty look adorable even while he is emotional! Leehan cooed at the sight.
They sealed their vow with a soft kiss.
This day could not have been any better. It was a perfect day for perfect them.
