"Y/N, someone's calling for you outside. She said she's Yugyeom's sister."

I quickly get out of my room and see Yugyeom's sister at the doorway.

"What is it? Did something happen?" I ask after seeing her anxious face.

"You have to come with me," she says as she pulls my arm.

"Is Yugyeom alright?" I ask as we walk out to her car.

"He needs you."

"Why? What happened? Did he get attacks again?"

"No... he has something important to say to you. It can't wait anymore."

"What is it?"

We stop right in front of her car. "He agreed to undergo chemo."

My eyes widen. I can't believe what I just heard. Two days ago, he was so convinced that he doesn't need to lengthen his life anymore. I find myself hugging his sister. "Oh my God, is it true? Thank you so much for convincing him!"

"No. Thank YOU. It was all because of you."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"That's why you have to come with me."


My heart was erratic when the car stopped in front of their house. The engine isn't even out yet when I opened the passenger seat's door. I almost run to get inside the house but his sister stops me.

"At the garden," she says.

I was expecting something dramatic. If he agreed to be healed, he probably called for me to say goodbye. I had thought he's going out of the country and trying his luck somewhere where there are better facilities.

I was wrong.

I probably look like some gatecrasher on a formal party. I'm wearing slippers and jeans because I didn't have time to change my clothes. I stand out, negatively, among these people.

I look pass their curious gazes and see a stage. There's a banner saying 'Congratulations to the newly engaged.'

I look behind me and see Yugyeom's sister, smiling.

"You're getting married?" I ask, dumbfounded. What's the rush then? I thought there was an emergency.

"Ms. Y/N," someone says through a microphone so I look to the stage again. Standing there is Kim Yugyeom, looking dashing on his white suit. I'm practically stunned. I've never seen him like this. He had always been my buddy, not some prince charming.

"Welcome to our engagement party," he says with a warm smile.

Wait...

What did he just say?

Our engagement party?

Engagement?

As in the one you do before you get married?

Our?

You mean the two of us?

OUR. ENGAGEMENT. PARTY?

"Gummybears, come on up!" his sister pulls me towards the stage.

"Wait, what? No, it's embarrassing! Look at me!"

"What's to be embarrassed about? It's your party!"

I continue struggling but she successfully get me on the stage. And now I'm facing about thirty strangers who are looking at me expectantly.

"What are you feeling right now?" his sister asks me while pointing the microphone.

"I'm confused..."

The guests laugh and I just want to melt into a puddle.

Yugyeom clears his throat so my eyes go to him. He looks better, probably because there's an actual smile on his face.

"Gummy," he takes my hand but I quickly pull it back. "Hey, you're ruining my plan."

"What is your plan? Is this some kind of hidden camera?"

"How many times should I tell you that I'm serious? I've been saying that for three years."

"Then what is all of this? I heard you change your mind about... dying, that's why I rushed here."

"I did. I realized I needed more time to do my bucket list."

"Why? How many more things do you want to do?"

"Actually, there's only one left and I need your help."

"Okay? What is it?"

"I want to marry you."

Wait...

Let my mind load for a minute or two.

Did he just say he wants to marry me?

"Say yes," he orders, as if he's just asking me to hand him his water bottle.

"Wait, are you sure-"

"You said you want me to be stuck with you for the rest of my life. Why don't we do it legally?"

"Well, yeah, but-"

"Welcome to the family, Carebear!" his sister shakes my shoulder.

"Wait a minute-"

"You love my brother, don't you?" she asks as Yugyeom says something to the audience.

"Of course," I answer without any hesitation. It surprises me that I actually did that. But what's more surprising is Yugyeom's high-pitched cheer.

"SHE SAID YES!" he announces to the crowd and they all cheer.

"Wait, what do you mean-"

"Oh, he was asking you to marry him when I asked you if you love him so... you said 'Of course' to both question," his sister explains.

Okay, this is the most confusing proposal I've ever known. But all Icould think of was... WHERE IS THE RING?
