*Clap! Clap!

Pop!

Everyone was looking at the embracing couple who were now partly covered by the rain of glittering confetti.

As the weeping Yerin continued to sink into the arms of her favorite human, Yewon quickly ran toward them to hand Sinb a bouquet of various yellow flowers; this was part of the original plan for her proposal and so she was quick to follow through. However, none of the other members knew about its existence in the gym, and so a muddled expression lingered as they looked at each other.

The young girl shortly broke their hug to give the flowers. "I think we have a lot of explaining to do, Yerin-ah."

Yerin cried even more as she saw the lovely bouquet being handed to her. Earlier, Sinb had to guide her with the ring that took longer than expected to be put on because of the incessant tearing that impaired her vision; she cried like broken waterworks that the floor had to be mopped after.

"Your allergies..." Yerin half-wailing her words as she immediately moved the flowers behind her back before they could resume their embrace.

"I'm sure someone's bringing me medicine." She held her tighter before her long lashes became heavy of tears that fell with her blinking.

Before they could separate again, the rest of the girls kept them together in a group hug that quickly emerged while I stood by the door looking at how relieved and overjoyed they were. I turned on the lights completely and rejoined them.

In less than 10 minutes, the gym was back to its solitary emptiness.

There was a sudden shift in the sitting arrangement of the girls as they drove home. As soon as they exited the gymnasium, Eunha rushed to the van's door and immediately occupied the seat that was always Yerin's. The other members followed and settled in their respective spots. The girl who proposed today was last to enter; and as soon as she laid eyes on the sneaky Eunha, the girl winked at her.

"Will you be alright, eonnie?" Sinb asked the new seatmate for the night. "Uhhh... I mean Yerin-ah?" She added before lowering her head and blushing.

"It's okay." She stroked her hand. "You won't get used to it since you'll still have to call me that when other people are around. As long as I know what your heart really meant, I'll be alright." Her eye smile was brightest when she's beside her.

"Yaaahhhh... It's too cheesy!" Sinb yelped before she erupted with a maniacal laughter, which the other girl just chuckled to.

"Joon-eonnie, did we really have to go that soon?" Eunha asked the very preoccupied driver.
