Always and Forever (Showki fanfic)

Ch. 112: 나와 결혼해 줄래요?

A/N: The times when I actually use hangul  for dialogue is really for emphasis. Just FYI, if some of you are confused to what I said in Ch. 110. Also, thanks for 21k views <3

Hyunwoo

~day 3 in Rome~

Today, I woke up much earlier than Kihyun. I rolled onto my side and peered down at the sleeping male next to me. Half of his face is buried into the pillow. His lips are parted slightly. His hair is messy. The blanket is pulled up to his chin. 

Nonetheless, he looked ethereal, soft,  and perfect to me in this disheveled state. I really wanted to grab his camera and snap a few pictures to prove to him that he is so adorable, but it was on his night stand and I am worried that he might wake up if I tried to get it.

 Just looking at him made me happy and warm inside. In this state, he seemed so at peace. Nothing in the world could bother him right now.

 I slowly moved over so that we are literally right next to each other. Kihyun seems to have noticed at least on some kind of subconscious level. He shifted so that his face was against my neck and clings onto my shirt with both hands. I chuckled under my breath and wrapped an arm around his waist. He sighs in content and his breathing slows back down. 

Eventually, he starts to stir and wakes up. He leans back and blinks slowly.

"Hi."

"Hello," he mumbles. 

"Good morning."

"Good morning," he yawns cutely. I kissed him on the lips because I couldn't help but do so. He makes a face and groans lowly. "I didn't even brush my teeth yet," he complains.

"Really? I couldn't tell," I smiled.

"Sure," he says sarcastically as he sits up with hair flying everywhere like cotton candy. 

~ten minutes later~

"Ready," I asked after we finished washing up.

"For what?"

"You'll see."

~some hours later~

~Lampedusa, Sicily, Italy~

"Ugh, remind me not to look at my phone when the car is moving," Kihyun sighs as he got a headache from it. 

"Alright. Let's go," I said as I guided him to the beach. 

"Wah! The sand is so pretty and the water is sapphire," Kihyun exclaims as he scoops up some sea water. He bends over and scans for something. Seizing the moment, I picked him up and put him on my shoulder before running further into the water. Kihyun screams, but doesn't try to struggle. 

Once we were nearly chest deep, I attempted to throw him in, but he held tight onto me like an octopus on a rock. After a few unsuccessful times, I spun around and trust fall into the water. When I surfaced, Kihyun pushes me back down. I grabbed him by his legs before pulling him close and standing up. He cackles and brushes wet pink hair away from his eyes.

"That wasn't nice," I pouted.

"Well, dunking me into the water wasn't nice either," he says after sticking his tongue out. 

~four hours later~

~Ristorante Vittorio~

I stared at my reflection as I gripped the sink's edges. Don't overthink it. Don't be anxious. No need to be afraid. You won't mess up. Calm down. I took a few deep breaths and shook my head. After I stood up straight, I adjusted the dress shirt and tie that I was wearing.
