Vernon X Reader [IN EDITING]

Chapter 14

Hansol's POV.
I am currently in a blindfold, holding Seungkwan's hand and following in line, behind Ji Yae to (Y/N)'s suprise. Before we had to put the blindfolds on, I checked the time, and it was 10:45pm.

"How much longer, until we can take these blindfolds off?" Asks, who I think was, Jeonghan.

"Just a few more steps..." Reassures Ji Yae, and in response, we all groan.

"Although this took forever, I'm still anxious about her suprise." Whispers Seungkwan with excitement, while also squeezing my hand. I just chuckle at his eagerness.

"Okay! We're here! Keep the blindfolds on, until I say it's okay to take the off, hm?" Ji Yae instructs, and we just grunt in reply.

I slowly continue walking before I feel that I'm standing next to Seungkwan. "I'm so nervous, right now." He says, as I stop.

"Same."

Everyone's silent, until Ji Yae speaks.

"Okay, boys. You want to see what (Y/N) did, just for you boys?" She questions, already knowing the answer. "Well, then. Take those blindfolds off!"

I obey. Quickly untying it and looking straight ahead. The first thing I notice, is the bright lights adorning the trees, which also blends in with the street lights. While also matching the park benches. But the one thing that stood out the most; was the fountain, so big and bright... and beautiful.

Then... I realized, where we were.

It's (Y/N) and I's spot. The exact place, where she confided in me and trusted me. This was our special place.

The whole, 'you can take a breather here'- thing, was just an excuse to 'coincidentally' bump into her. And it worked, we'd always meet here 'coincidentally' and we would just talk.

Sometimes, the talks we're very meaningful and other times, silence was all we needed.

A smile crept onto my face, as I caught her, subtly staring at me and blushing when we made eye contact.

Anyway, back to the suprise. I hear people scream, "Hooray!" And by people, I mean, each boys family.

"Oh my gosh~!" Screams Seungkwan, while running to his family. And right after, we all ended up running to our own.

(Y/N)'s POV.
"It's been a great year, hasn't it?" A few "yeahs" were said in reply. As their manager, I decided to give a congratulatory speech, and thankfully, Hansol, was interpreting my words to my family.

"First, I save a very clumsy Hansol, from a misguided shop owner." That earned me a few laughs and Hansol's face to go a bit red. "Then I get to gracefully present myself, to the boys, as their manager. Also, gifting them, with an awesome assistant manager, that means you, Park Ji Yae!" I point to her, and she waves me off, everyone laughs and claps.

"But, this speech, isn't about all that. It's about this magnificent group of boys," I motion my hand toward all them.

"Not only did they teach me different ways to enjoy life to the fullest. They also rose up, together, to where they are today. Very successful, might I add." I smirk, giving a thumbs up and winking.

"Each day was different and amazing with you boys in it. And..." I take a breath in, knowing too well I'll cry, "... I didn't get to say this before, but... thank you. Thank you so much, for giving me another chance with my family." I force out a laugh, while the tears form in my eyes.

"You boys don't realise how beautiful, and amazing, and awesome, you guys really are. You each, make people's lives a hundred percent better, no doubt." I genuinely smile, toward each one of the crazy guys.

My eyes lock on Hansol's, his one's full of happiness and something else, I can't quite put my finger on.

"I think it's safe to say, that... I love each and everyone of you... now... it's been a great year, so let's enjoy the last day of 2017, huh!?" Everyone cheers, while I hop off of the bench I was standing on.

I walk over toward my mom, who was casually in a conversation with Hansol's mom, Vernon. She's an amazing woman, that's where Hansol gets it from. His dad, Simon is very funny, and comfortable to talk with.

"Hey mom, hi Hansol's mom." I wave at both of them, in reponse, I get two shining smiles.

"(Y/N), sweety. I told you to call me Vernon." Suggests Hansol's mom, again.

"Oops, sorry..." I scratch my neck, looking down, embarrassed. They both just chuckle.

"Beautiful speech, (Y/N)." Compliments my mom, smiling cheekily.

"W-what?" I ask, face heating slightly.

"You know what she means..." Adds Vernon, wiggling her eyebrows, and looking toward her son.

My face burns, and I start choking on my saliva. "Oh my gosh... what are... you... even talking about!?" I breathe out, between coughs.

They both just laugh, as I calm myself.

"Ugh!" I yell, storming off. I walk over to the drinks, seriously needing water. I take a seat next to the cart and take a sip of the water.

"What was that all about?" Asks Hansol, chuckling. I tense, feeling his warmth, next to me.

"O-oh, it was, um, the speech! Ah yes, the speech, they we're just, u-uh, complimenting me a lot. It was kind of... embarrassing?" I look at him, hoping he bought it. He just burst out laughing.

"Is that why, they're standing there, like two lunatics, laughing hysterically?" I look at the two mother's, who look like two childhood friends catching up, after a long time apart.

I laugh. Hansol joins me, and if I could see us now, we probably look like our mom's.

"Oh wow! It's 11:48, everyone. Get ready!" Screams Ji Yae.

I watch as Eric and each dad, stand at the fireworks.

All of sudden, I feel a warm hand rest atop of mine. My stomach suddenly feels empty and my mind goes blank. I snap my gaze to Hansol.

"I need to say something, to you. And, (Y/N), I just need you to listen." He demands, making my face heat.

"Y-yes."
