"kookie, have you seen my red flats?" isa asked her boyfriend as she looked around their room. she searched through every single crevice in the soft teal room, but no trace of the shoes whatsoever.

"they're in the black shoe box in the living room" he shouted from the bathroom. he's taking a shower meanwhile isa was getting ready for a job interview.

"thanks, jungkook. you're a life saver" she grabbed the black shoe box and went to their room. she could hear jungkook sing from the shower since the bathroom and room were connected together.

she opened the box and saw a mini velvet box inside. she looks to the side and jungkook is standing there, a towel around his waist.

he walks towards her and grabs the box from her hand. he kneels down, takes a deep breath, and begins to speak.

"park isa. soon to be jeon isa. i love you so much. thank you for being the best girlfriend a man could ask for. you're so caring, full of energy, precious, and most importantly, ethereal to my eyes. the day i broke your heart was the day i realized i had broke myself also. i regretted every little bad thing i did, because you deserved better. now, im a changed man," they both chuckle as isa is wiping the tears that are streaming from her sun-kissed skin.

"i know what it means to value things. i now know how much i needed you in my life. your sparkly eyes, the way your eyes look like crescent moons when you smile, the way you are you makes me weak to my knees. just know that i love you and that i will forever take care of you, princess. i love you" before he could slip the ring on her, she grabbed his soft cheeks and kissed him with pure love.

the kiss was salty because of all the tears streaming out of their eyes. the tears were more than just happiness. those tears in the beginning meant hurt, regret, foolishness, and all bad. but now, they meant all things positive that come to mind.

they broke apart and jungkook chuckled.

he slipped the ring on her finger and kissed her hand.

"i was so foolish for not proposing earlier"

the end.
