➳ epilogue

Jihyo arrived at school one early morning. She woke up early and didn't want to spend time resting at her house, so she figured going to school even though classes don't start in two hours. Quite an earlybird, you must say.

The girl took all her needed things inside her locker before closing it. And as she paced forward, Jihyo hadn't realized she had bumped into someone, making her lose balance. Jihyo just shut her eyes, waiting for the impact.

But there was nothing. All Jihyo could feel was a hand hugging her waist. The touch wasn't new, she knew who had just caught her.

Jihyo fluttered her eyes open, and she expected nothing less. It was him, the same boy she bumped into a few months back, the same boy who broke her heart, and also the same boy who she fell for completely.

"Sleepy?" he asked, helping Jihyo to stand up. "Guess you could say that. How do you expect me to sleep properly after what you did yesterday?" she asked, nudging his side using her elbow.

—♔—

"It's you." At this point, Jihyo couldn't process everything that is happening, her mind is a mess, her heart has been pounding harder by the second.

"H-huh? Is this one of your jokes?" she said, letting out a nervous chuckle as she ran her hand through her hair, looking everywhere but near him.

"Does it sound like a joke?" he smirked, and oh god, Jihyo sure was in trouble. Just as she was about to run away, he pulled something out that was at his back the whole time.

"A pretty flower for a pretty girl." he smiled, holding a red rose in his hand, before walking towards where she stood. "What's going on?" Jihyo questioned, still hesitating on taking the flower.

"Yah, the roses were expensive, you should take it so my efforts won't go to waste." Yoongi jokingly ordered, and with shaky hands, Jihyo finally held the rose. "Roses? This is just a rose, what are you talking about?"

And as if on cue, the other boys started entering the garden with something in each of their hands. Jihyo really felt like crying on the spot. Infront of here was a bouquet full of roses, and a huge plushie beside it.

"Not to be cliché but... I can't help it." he shrugged, before carrying the gifts and gesturing the rest to leave the two alone, in which they did.

"You and your surprises." she raised an eyebrow, giggling slightly. "Seriously, you shouldn't do these... my heart can't handle it." she added, although the last part was more of a whisper, but he heard it nonetheless.

"Well then I hope your heart is ready for the next one." he winked, and Jihyo knew where this was leading to. Yoongi took another step as if the distance between the two of them was still far, but they were merely a feet away in reality.

"Jihyo, the last few months were amazing. Heck, I think it's the best months I've ever experienced from my whole life." he started, and Jihyo could feel her heartbeat stop. "I really regret lying to you, and thankfully you forgave, you don't know how happy I was that day." Yoongi laughed, reminding her of their talk days ago.

"I know we just made up, but I really want to take this chance to maybe, just maybe, spend the rest of my life with you." The girl instantly felt her cheeks were heating up, she wasn't expecting such words today.

"So, Park Jihyo, be my girlfriend?" he finally said, extending the flowers and the toy to her as he awaits for her answer.

It took Jihyo everything to not burst crying, she was overwhelmed with emotions, so she took a deep breath and pulled a serious face.

"Nope." she stated, grabbing the bouquet and the plushie from him. This made his mouth hang open, obviously confused on why she just declined but still took the presents.

"Huh? Why is that?" he hurriedly asked, searching for an answer. But all he received was a lighthearted laugh from the person infront.

"You baby, who told you that you could forget about our bet that easily." Jihyo teased, and Yoongi was then forced into thinking.

And Yoongi's face immediately lit up. "So does that mean—" she pressed a finger to his lips. "Yeah, no need to ask." Jihyo replied, amused at his reaction.

Full of happiness, he suddenly lifted the girl from the floor, making her scream and drop the gifts he gave, but he didn't care. He spun her around before hugging her tightly. "Thank you." his words were full of sincerity.

Jihyo returned the hug with the same intensity, also muttering small 'thank you's in return. He pulled back from the hug, and they found themselves looking at each other's eyes.

"I love you." The words were enough for Jihyo to melt, his eyes continued in shining, and his smile wasn't helping either.

It seemed like the two had magnets (opposites attract, as what others would say), they automatically found each other leaning forward, both having one thing in mind.

A foot. Ten Inches. Five. An Inch.

Jihyo closed her eyes before leaning fully, capturing the boy's lips. As expected, it did things to her. She felt really weird, the good one. It's something only he can do to her.

On the other hand, Yoongi felt like winning the jackpot prize. He couldn't refrain from smiling even while he kissed the girl, or his girl, if he were to say that.

It was sweet, nothing more, nothing less, just pure love. The new couple pulled away, breathing heavily while still maintaining eye contact.

Their eyes screamed happiness and contentment. From the rollercoaster of events they went through together, they made it worth the wait.

The three words still rung inside Jihyo's mind, she still can't believe it. An accident could actually lead to the happiest moment of her life. And she won't put that to waste. She flashed a bright smile and replied,

"I love you too."
