Yoosung meets MC's best friends for the first time

★ When you mention wanting to introduce Yoosung to your friends, he's an excited puppy. He feels like he's levelled up in your relationship. Meeting your friend circle was a step closer to meeting your family after all. He had to be prepared!!

★ You all agree to meet up at the park and it's only as the two of you walk there hand-in-hand that he starts to get nervous. What if your friends don't like him? Would you defer to their judgement and break up with him?! What if this was the last time he got to hold your hand because he was just minutes away from judgement day?!

★ You pass a vending machine on the way and offer to get drinks; it's a hot day after all and your boyfriend looks as if he might cry with nervousness at any second. But when you try to drop his hand he clings to you, "I-I can get the drinks!"

★Proceeds to fumble around with his free hand for the change in the back pocket of his jeans before successfully managing to get some canned drinks. (Still won't let go of your hand though so you can't exactly open them just yet anyway...)

★ Finally, you find your friends at the park sitting at a table! He squeezes your hand, hoping you don't notice that his palms are sweating and you give him a reassuring smile which lets him breathe a bit easier. You get on with the introductions, but the names of your friends go through one ear and out the other. He's so nervous! He can't focus at all.

★ "This is my boyfriend, Yoosung!" You say, a little shyly but your expression still bright. He feels himself growing flustered when your friends' focus turns to him, but he manages to greet them, his confidence returning a little as you said 'boyfriend'. He was your boyfriend! He loved you! And you loved him! So he had to prove himself to your friends!

★ "It's nice to meet you," he says, placing his drink can on the table from before so that he can offer his hand to your friends, who seem bemused by such politeness but shake his hand nonetheless.

★ Your group sit down around the table, and he manages to talk himself into letting go of your hand long enough so you can finally open up your drinks, before settling his fingers back between yours again - the display of affection not going unmissed by your friends who giggle and make teasing remarks.

★ They want to know all of the usual things, how you met, who confessed first, what your first date was like (emitting the things about Mint Eye and Unknown, naturally). They seem a little skeptical at how you accepted to be his pre-girlfriend a week after talking to him, causing him to remember his previous nervousness. You show them the photo he sent to you, his face as red and flustered as the bunch of red roses he was holding; your friends teasing him again, talking about how cute a gesture it was.

★ After an hour you all begin to say goodbye, and although Yoosung is feeling much more relaxed than before, he still can't figure out whether or not your friends approve of him. He nudges you, puppy eyes desperate for answers and you smile at him and nod, walking your group of friends to the park gate as he watched from afar, murmuring something he couldn't hear. Whatever it was made your friends laugh and nod eagerly, casting more amused looks back at him before saying one last goodbye and disappearing.

★ You made your way back over to him, your warm smile melting his heart. "What did they think?" He asked, almost too nervous to hear the answer. But you threw your arms around him, lightly kissing the crook of his neck in reassurance, "They said I'm really lucky to have you!"

★ His legs trembled, and he broke out in nervous laughter, the relief washing over him all at once. They approved of him! He'd done it! He closed his eyes, hugging you back, "I'm the lucky one."
