SEVEN o' clock...

Joshua spoke in his mind as he saw the time through his wristwatch. He roamed his eyes around the surrounding. A smile of excitement was plastered on his face as he saw how beautiful the place was.

There were colorful lights around the branches of the trees nearby, giving colors to the atmosphere. There was a mat placed on the grass. A blaze was engulfing the place through the dimmed candle lights scattered on the far sides of the mat. At the side of the mat, there's a guitar, ready to be played. Joshua admitted that the scenery was quite cliché. But like almost all the beautiful love stories, a couple was usually having a memorable moment when they were to commemorate their relationship.

And Joshua wanted to commemorate the relationship that he and Joely had into a memorable one.

While appreciating the scenery that Joshua, with the help of Jeonghan, had worked on, his phone rang. He fished out his phone from his pocket. He saw Jeonghan's name on the screen, probably calling him to prepare himself. He answered the call.

"It's 7 already. Anytime, she might come." Jeonghan informed.

"Yeah."

"Fighting! I'll hang up."

"Okay. Thanks, Jeonghan."

As Jeonghan ended the phone call, Joshua brought his phone back into his pocket. He started fixing himself, checking out his appearance from head to toe.

Standing straightly, Joshua checked the time. It's 7:30 already..

While Joshua was excitedly waiting, series of memories were starting to stir in his mind. He was reminiscing those memories he spent with Joely, from meeting her to Los Angeles until they started dating. Joshua couldn't help to smile like an idiot. He just couldn't believe that he had made a lot of memories with her.

Joshua groggily opened his eyes as he felt something cold tickling his face. Joely's face greeted him as he completely opened his eyes. His eyes widened as he realized how close her face to his. He abruptly got up, waking himself completely from a deep sleep.

"Oooppss!" Joely exclaimed, acting innocent.

Joshua saw a marker that Joely was holding. He creased his forehead in confusion. Don't tell me...

He immediately made his way to the bathroom, facing himself to the mirror. His mouth gaped as he saw his face. He screamed Joely's name as he discovered the doodles drawn over his face.

Joely laughed to death as she saw Joshua's reaction. She almost even wanted to take a picture of him. She was frozen as Joshua dashed towards her, stopping her from laughing. His hands held her arms. Joely gulped as she realized that their faces were only inches away.

Their eyes were locked on each other. Joely noticed that the space between their faces was starting to lessen. As she realized that Joshua's face was almost closing the gap from hers, she closed her eyes, making her heartbeat pound loudly. Two or three seconds had passed but she did not feel any lips on hers. She just opened her eyes when she heard little laughs coming from Joshua. "JOSHUA!?"
