Flowers for my valentines (NaCheol edition)

Today was valentines day. Seventeen has no schedules this week and Seungcheol himself was lying at his sofa while his head was looking up to the plain ceiling on the practice room.

"Hey hyung, what are you doing here?" one of his members, Joshua asked.

"Nothing, just staring at the ceiling," Seungcheol asked.

"So what are you planning for valentines day?" Hearing his question, Seungcheol got off from his sofa and walk towards the wall calendar that marked 14 feburary on it. For him, this is the only time where he's gonna come out and confess his love for his friend, Nayoung.

"Let me guess, you still haven't tell Nayoungie your feelings?" Joshua asked with a grin.

"I hesitated, I'm quite worried that she may reject my love for her," Seungcheol sighed.

"Welp whatever you say hyung, I'll have to go on a date with Minkyung right now. And if you ever need help, call me soon." Joshua left the practice room. Seungcheol however was being nervous about Joshua's question. Why? Because during their debut days, Seungcheol and Nayoung were close on that time but due to Seventeen's promotions, it is harder for Seungcheol to tell her how he felt. What's worst is that when she was in I.O.I, he can't give her a call or text because Nayoung was busy with I.O.I.

Now that Prisitn, her current group, have no schedule for this week, Seungcheol will now have a chance to express his love for her.

But there is one question, how?

Seungcheol notices a bouquet of flowers that were place on the vase at the desk. After few minutes of hesitation, Seungcheol grab the bouquet of flowers from the vase and give it a shot.

-time skip to 5pm, at Pristin's house-

The manager, along with Seungcheol arrived at Pristin's house and parked his van in the roadside, he sat back in his seat.

"You sure about this?" his manager asked Seungcheol, while glancing over at the bouquet of flowers and pick them up.

"I have to, I've been waiting for this moment. I hope she won't reject me." Seungcheol take a deep breath.

"Good luck," his manager wished him luck and Seungcheol exited the van.

As he looked at Pristin's house,noticing how peaceful and quiet the neighbourhood is,he saw the front window curtains draw back, and Nayoung was looking out. When Nayoung noticed him, she smiled and waved, then scurried over to answer the door. Seungcheol walked up the porch steps.

Before he could knock, she open the door and both of them greeted each other.

"What are you doing here at this time? Aren't you gonna spend Valentines day with Nayeon?" Nayoung notices the flowers and pointed at them,"Oh my, these flowers are beautiful,I'm sure Nayeon will love them,"

"Umm actually..." Seungcheol rubbed his back head,"These are for you,"

Nayoung was astonished,"Wait, you mean those flowers are for me?...w...what are you trying to say Seungcheol,"

"What I'm trying to say is that I like you as a friend but.."

"What about Nayeon, she'll be devasted if you do this,"

"My heart aches for you," Seungcheol finished.

"Seungcheol, I'm flattered from your words, but I may ask, what happen between you and Nayeon?"

Seungcheol looked up at Nayoung, staring to her eyes.

"I left her," Seungcheol stared down at the floorboard, feeling guilty.

"Why? you two were so happy with each other, I don't see why you have to break up with her,"

Seungcheol notices a bench,"Let's sit over at the bench, I'll explain to you," They sit together at the bench, continuing their conversation.

"You see Nayoung, I'm not happy with my relationship with Nayeon. It's just that during my pre-debut days, the first time I saw you, my heart goes crazy and my mind wants me to talk to you. During that time, I started to develop some strong feelings for you and I was about to confess it to you. But I was afraid that you will reject my confession and made me heartborken, so I hesitated. Time files fast and because of my group's promotion and your I.O.I journey, I don't have enough time for that."

Seungcheol took a deep breath and continued.

"While you're busy with I.O.I, Nayeon confessed her feelings to me and I accept it so that I can move on. But 2 years later, my heart starts to ache more when I heard that I.O.I disbanded and you returned to our company. And that's how I started to feel regretful of my choice and decided to end my relationship with Nayeon because I can't find happiness from her."

Seungcheol set the bouquet of flowers on the bench and took hold of both Nayoung's hand before he could protest.

"The only person who brings happiness is none other than you, Lim Nayoung. I had a feeling that I could be happier with you, I do enjoy talking to you since during our pre-debut days because of your voice,your laugher and your smile despite your emotionless expression. And because of that, I'm started to hopelessly fall in love with you."

Nayoung continued to stare at Seungcheol. Her face was flushed pure red. Nayoung glanced down at Seungcheol's hands, which were intertwined with his. Seungcheol stared back at her, eyes full of hope.

"Umm to be honest Seungcheol, I was at that position during those days, I do have feelings for you but I always push those back because of it." Nayoung look down, "Only if you confess me earlier, I would be happily spend more time with you during those days."

Hearing her reasons makes Seungcheol feel more guilty as he never acknowledged Nayoung's affection towards him."I'm sorry Nayoung, I should have told you from the start,"

"But however, I felt a bit joy inside my heart when you told me this, I really miss your voice and smile too."

Seungcheol was surprised from it, making his heart beats 5x faster than ever before. Noticing that Nayoung was feeling happy, he decided to go for it.

"Oh and Nayoung?"

"What is it?" She asked.

Seungcheol leaned forward, closer and closer to Nayoung's ear.

"Nayoung will you be my Valentine?" he whispered.

Hearing his question, Nayoung gave an answer that made Seungcheol shocked.

She kissed him in the lips, a soft 3 seconds kiss.

Nayoung blushed afterwards."Here's my answer,"

Satisfied with her answer, Seungcheol pull Nayoung to a hug.

And from this day onwards, he soon to realize that this beautiful relationship between him and Nayoung had started.
