*afternoon aka it's raining a bit outside and the atmosphere is kind of gloomy*

Point of view: Yeosang

I like this. It's quiet, it's relaxing and it feels very close. As if we are closer than ever. After showering quickly since there was pizza waiting for us – Hwa joined me after putting the pizza into the oven – we eat together. In bed.

"You know what this remind me of?", he suddenly asks. I shake my head although I might have an idea of what he's thinking.

And then he starts singing.

105 is the number that comes to my head
When I think of all the years I wanna be with you
Wake up every morning with you in my bed
That's precisely what I plan to do

I smile. How could I forget? We never ever got to finish that song.

That song from a few years ago. The first day in our new home.

And you know one of these days when I get my money right
Buy you everything and show you all the finer things in life
Will forever be enough, so there ain't no need to rush
But one day, I won't be able to ask you loud enough

He smiles too, I join in.

I'll say will you marry me
I swear that I will mean it
I'll say will you marry me

I believe it's ironic how I've been thinking of proposing lately and he comes up with this song now. It makes me smile even more.

How many girls in the world can make me feel like this?
Baby I don't ever plan to find out
The more I look, the more I find the reasons why
You're the love of my life

I think this is our favourite part. Especially since he's never been with a girl before.

You know one of these days when I get my money right
Buy you everything and show you all the finer things in life
Will forever be enough, so there ain't no need to rush
But one day, I won't be able to ask you loud enough

It reminds me of when he was having a hard time finding a job in the past. We barely could afford chicken or pizza back then.

I'll say will you marry me
I swear that I will mean it
I'll say will you marry me

Honestly, I'd love to propose. I should probably finally grow some balls and look into that box my grandma gave me one week before she died. She said it was for me and my future husband Seonghwa. She really loved him.

And if I lost everything
In my heart it means nothing
Cause I have you, boy I have you
So get right down on bended knee
Nothing else would ever be
Better, better
The day when I say

I feel like my grandparents are laughing at me for being such a pussy. That man in front of me, that one that's still holding a slice of pizza with way too much cheese on it. I love him so much. I lose myself in his eyes.

I'll say will you marry me
I swear that I will mean it
I'll say will you marry me

I'll say will you marry me
I swear that I will mean it
I'll say will you marry me

I could swear he just put the pizza on the bad to place his hand under his pillow. I don't understand it tho. And then he stops singing, making me freeze too. I don't want to ask why. I am honestly scared of what he's doing. The poor pizza-

Wait. That's his hand. It's not under the pillow anymore.

Unexpectedly he continues the song. He's not singing tho. He simply says one sentence:

"Would you marry me, baby?"

My eyes widen. He looks at me lovingly. I stare back. He's not joking, right? I want to nod, but I can't move. I want to scream "yes", but I can't speak. I just stare at him, tears eventually rolling down my face.

Finally, I find my voice, overflowing with love and joy.

"Of course, Seonghwa!", I sob.

He starts crying too. Hard. Really hard. "I... I even got... a ring...for you", he manages to say. So that's probably what he searched for under the pillow. "That's why I stayed out so long yesterday. I just got so insecure I even spent one hour in front of our house... San helped me find the courage to go into that store and Woo was there to help me find the perfect one, but I did it on my own finally and I got so happy, but also so terrified you would say no. So, I just couldn't face y-" I interrupt him: "Just give me that goddamn ring, Hwa!"

He'll probably thank me later because I tried to minimize his embarrassment.

Finally, he takes my hand to put a ring on my ring finger. It fits perfectly. 100% perfect. He smiles. I smile.

"I love you"

105 is the number that comes to my head
When I think of all the years, I want to be with you
Wake up every morning with you in my bed
That's precisely what I plan to do

--yes that was a proposal--
