"ARE YOU SERIOUS?!" I asked. He nodded, a bit taken aback. I buried my face in the blankets and screamed.

"Did I scare you? I am so sorry" he said then stood up to formally apologize. I glanced at him and laughed.

"No dummy" I implied and hugged him.

"So when will we break the news?" I asked. He then fished out his phone to text his group mates.

I think I am at heaven now. The past was definitely difficult. I had to deal with a lot of moving on, which failed.

Then suddenly this survival show released couples, and then I was coupled up with my girl, Aerim.

I don't know if I am dreaming or if all of this is the reality. I just can't believe all of this is happening, so I decided to tell the others first.

I laughed at Mingi's reply and turned my phone off. Aerim looked kinda distant so I hugged her.

"What's the matter? Aren't you happy?" I asked. She smiled and ran her fingers through my hair.

"I am so damn happy Hongjoong, like we even got a book 2 to prove our love for each other", she said. I laughed and smiled at her.

"Why won't the author let us marry?" I asked. She chuckled and planted a kiss on my forehead.

"That would make this story dull" she implied and chuckled heartily.

We kept on laughing at each others jokes and compliments until we realized it's already 2:34 am so we slept in.
