Bonus - The reason of my smiles

Following my beating heart

My steps towards you

i woke up to his voice. soft and tender. enveloping me in it's warmth gradually as my eyes fluttered open. he was so close, his face was the first thing i saw, like life had decided to skip to the good part right away and before i even knew what was happening, a smile formed on my lips.

i was just happy to see him, my mind still  after fuzzy from sleep. still unaware of the meaning of the look in his eyes. a mixture of love and something else ... sus.

then, without warning he pulled me up, i blinked trying to make sense of it and found myself standing already, still dazed. my gaze wandered around the room, everything felt so perfect. the light was soft, warm but before i could dwell on the ambience something brushed against my arm.

i gasped, my eyes widening as i realized.

bright red, heart-shaped balloons. fluttering around us like we were in a dream sequence of a rom-com. 

a soft laugh escaped me, a mix of surprise and warmth. jeonghan took my hand in his, our fingers intertwining effortlessly. his other hand rested gently on my waist, his touch warm through the fabric of my pajamas.

Only if you are waiting for me
Then I could walk through the fire for you

he began to dance, slow and graceful, twirling me in his arms as if he was the breeze and i was the fragile flower caught in it's path. his voice, low and sweet, filled the room as he sang, and i couldn't help but giggle, overwhelmed by the sweet surprise.

And now I know you're a piece of my heart
You take my hands, take my whole life
Do you see the flowers in my eyes
I'll tell you now I know

There's no way without you now

the world seemed to slow as he swayed me in time with the rhythm of his voice. i smiled, enveloped in his embrace, my back pressed to his chest as his head rested lightly on my shoulder. i leaned back, falling into him once again.

"happy birthday riri" he said softly into my ear. 

i giggled at the sensation, closing my eyes to take it all in. "thankyou." i said after a few moments. "this is the best morning ever."

"don't get impressed so easily" he teased. "i have a lot more planned."

i opened my eyes turning to him with a mischievous glint in my eyes. "oh really? and what is it?"

he smirked, pulling me closer until i could feel his erratic heartbeat. i stifled a laugh. whatever he had planned, he was too excited for it.

cute.

"it won't be a surprise if i tell you." he said trying to act cool, completely oblivious to why i was laughing. 

"got it." i pinched his cheek fondly.

"get ready for the best day ever" he said and i raised a brow playfully challenging his confidence. 

i don't know how it could get better than this. but for jeonghan? i am always ready.
