"He is just down that hall, last room on the right." Said a CEO.

"Thank you!" You say, taking a bow and starting down the hallway.

You see the hallway and groan, how long must one hallway be? You think to yourself before pulling the straps of your backpack off of your shoulders and unzipping it. You pull out Joshua's black lunch box and sling your bag back onto one shoulder.

You're now two doors away from the one you had been directed to, everything is quiet, all expect the murmured voices from the room Josh was said to be in; you couldn't make it out exactly, but you caught a few snippets and it slightly worried you.

You peak through the window in the door and what you see utterly breaks you... Joshua positioned on one knee in front of a woman that could only be described as crafted by the Gods...

You accidentally drop the lunch box as the words you didn't want to hear came spilling from his mouth.

"Will you marry me?"

Both of their heads snapped in the direction of the door, Joshua's eyes flicked from you to the ring to the woman and back, his jaw dropped.

Sprawling his fingers out towards you he scrambled to his feet, but it was too late, you were sprinting as fast as you legs could carry you. Desperate cries followed you out of the front doors if the Pledis Entertainment building, but your thoughts were in too much of a mess to consider 'talking it out'.

Voicemail(1): Y/N, you have got the wrong idea! I swear, please call me back and I will explain everything!

Voicemail(2): I'm begging you, it isn't what you think, I can explain!

I'm coming over.

Knock knock knock

"Y/N, open the door!" Josh shouted through the door.

You're laid on your bed, one arm dangling off the side and your face buried in a pillow. Three empty pots of Ben and Jerry's ice cream sat in a pile on the floor and you just groan a reply knowing he can't hear you.

He has his own key anyway, you think to yourself and groan some more.

The knocking ceases as he remembers that he has his own key card and he let's himself in, you count down from ten and he walks through the bedroom door just as you finish. You don't move, but you listen to his gentle laugh. He sits on the corner of your shared bed, making you move slightly and takes a deep breath in and back out.

"I can ex-"

"Leave it!" You snap, "It's pretty clear that one just doesn't cut it for you. I will be out by the end of the night and you can find a new booty bitch."

You go on and on about how you're going to move out and marinate in your sorrows all by yourself, and when you finally stop moaning, Joshua bursts out laughing.

This makes you angry and turn to face him with red puffy eyes and a face of thunder, you plant one (extremely hard) punch into his upper arm, leaving him wincing and rubbing his arm like a girl.

"She was my cousin Y/N... The only girl I need in my life is you..." His voice was dangerously low.

For the second time that day, you drop something, only this time its your jaw... It suddenly comes to you that you have met her once before just vaguely at a small house party and you feel like an utter fool.

Your whole body trembles and your blood boils, you're overwhelmed with happiness and embarrassment as Joshua stares at you intensely.

Your eyes begin to water again, but you blink them away and bury you face back into your pillow and scream into; you hear a small giggle before a strong pair of arms pull you into a warm hug.

He smells of something sweet, his favorite aftershave, One Million. His warm, unsteady breaths tickling your scalp and his heart beat slightly fast.

You pull your body away, but only by a few centimeters and look up at him.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions..."

"Don't worry about it, I actually have something to ask." He murmured whilst searching his pockets.

"Of course! Listening is the least I can do..." you squeak.

He moves off the bed onto one knee, "You see, I was just practicing because I had no idea how I was going to do this...

It was as if time itself had frozen and you and Josh were the only two people in the world, he looked awkward in his coal cloak like coat; he finally found what he was looking for in his pocket and pulled out the burgundy velvet box that you had seen in his hand earlier. You hadn't caught a glimpse of what was inside, you was in shock at the time.

He slowly began to open the box, it felt like a secret; the light was at the perfect angle, illuminating the emerald gem stone that sat prettily in the center of a golden ring.

He laughed nervously as you stare wide eyed at the beautiful ring, "I didn't want to get a diamond ring because... Well everyone gets diamonds right?"

You begin to cry again and the inexperienced Jisoo began to panic, he thought you didn't like it so he snapped the box shut quickly and began to stutter a load of promises.

You pull the box from his hand and open it again, sliding it onto your ring finger and wiggling your fingers in a generous ray of sunlight. You wipe away the tears with the back of your other hand and laugh sounding like a goat because you're crying too.

Jisoo takes your hands in his and smiles a huge smile before leaning in and kissing you; his lips tender and soft, not too dry but not too moist either just perfect, like him.

You place a hand delicately on his cheek and he breaks the kiss off reluctantly, "So what do you say?"

"Are you su-"

"Yes, I am positive! You're the love of my life Y/N."

"Yes... Yes, I will marry you!" You cry.

Joshua rubs his eye, blaming it on the dust whilst laughing before pulling you to your feet and dancing in a slow circle with you. You spend the rest of the day watching films and stuffing your faces, calling people to tell them the news, and in the end you even agree to a party to celebrate.

"I love you Y/N."
