jungwoo's hands tremble when he catches lucas' eye. the taller boy holds a bouqet of roses, exactly the amount jungwoo had intended. "jungwoo?" lucas furrows his eyebrows, fighting off a smile. "what are you doing here?"

"i'm here to prove how much i love you. i mean, i flew to china for you, got lost, and had to enlist your brother and his friends to help me. if that doesn't scream 'you're the love of my life,' then i don't know what does," jungwoo's voice shakes.

lucas laughs. "you're insane."

"be quiet and let me monologue," jungwoo orders softly, taking lucas' hand in his.

"go ahead."

jungwoo takes a deep nervous breath. "lucas, i messed up. i made the biggest mistake of my life and i will never forgive myself for that. hell, i would completely understand if you didn't forgive me. i've always known that you deserve better because you deserve the world. you're the kindest soul i've ever met and i was stupid enough to take that for granted. i might not deserve you, not in a million years, but i can promise you that i love you more than anything. you're my entire universe and i lost that because i was too big of a coward to push away some dull star. everything you are, all your flaws and annoying habits and unfunny attempts at jokes, everything that makes you you is everything i will ever need. i lived twenty one years without you, spent six months away from you, and i think i would die if i had to go another day. i love you, lucas. please, for the love of my and everyone i knows sanity, give me one more chance?"

for a minute, nothing happens. lucas just stares into jungwoo's pleading eyes, and the latter loses hope with each second that passes.

and then lucas flashes the biggest, brightest smile jungwoo has ever seen and pulls the older close. "of course, baby. i love you too."

jungwoo buries his head into lucas' shoulder, allowing his tears to fall freely now. "you're an ass, you know that?" he laughs through them.

lucas nods. "just wanted to make you nervous."

the shorter pulls away and punches his boyfriend's arm lightly. "as if i wasn't nervous enough, you prick."

laughing loudly, lucas winds their fingers together as they exit the hideaway. they find chenle and his friends waiting.

chenle gazes at them questioningly until his eyes land on their interlocked hands. he leaps up, grinning from ear to ear. "i knew it would fucking work! i'm a goddamn legend!"

lucas rolls his eyes. "go play with your friends," lucas scolds in chinese.

"yeah, yeah, whatever. you're welcome for fixing your relationship by the way," chenle grumbles, walking away with his friends.

jungwoo laughs, understanding the gist of what chenle said and sensing the bitterness dripping from his words. "he's so cute."

lucas frowns playfully. "hey!"

"you're cuter, don't worry."

lucas beams. "yeah, i know."

"you're insufferable, you know that?" jungwoo snorts.

"you love me though," lucas reminds him, gently squeezing his hand.

jungwoo looks up at him. "i do."
