After seconds which feel much longer, I pull back but he's still not moving, his eyes closed. I put my palm on his cheek and trace his pink lips with my thumb; his eyes slowly flutter open and it seems like he's slowly coming back to me...maybe to earth.

I think we're acting like teenagers, getting so affected by a simple kiss but there's something in his eyes that prevents me from voicing out my thoughts. I smile at him instead. "I think that counts as three. now, where is my present?"

he blinks slowly, looking away, still pouting. "I don't think you deserve it..."

I chuckle and tickle his sides, making him whine and laugh breathily. "OK! STOP!...it's still in the drawer. I hastily go through the drawer, taking the small box and coming back to sit beside him. I keep my tongue between my teeth in excitement, opening the ribbon and the box quickly. I've been dying to know what's inside. "I tore the card in anger so..." he sounds nervous.

I giggle but stop when I see the blue velvet container...he's not proposing, right?

I open it with caution and my breath hitches seeing the silver shiny oval-shaped locket with...are those DIAMONDS on top?!

his voice is soft. "open it."

my heart is beating so fast. I open it to see tiny words engraved inside which I have to squint my eyes to see.

you're the best thing that's ever happened to me. I want us to last forever.

it's the best gift anyone's ever given me...his feelings.

I tear up from happiness, even more than when joon makes mac and cheese with tae for my birthday, burning his hand slightly along the way. I quickly put it on my neck, putting the box on the bedside table. he's confused at my reaction, a little worried. "is it not good?"

I get up to turn off the lights and pull the blanket up to go under, snuggling close to him. He doesn't protest or say anything and I take his hand, hugging it against my chest like I'm used to with tae. 

"it's more than great...it's perfect...you're perfect. thank you...and I want us to last forever too."

he gulps, smiling. the tension leaves his body at my words.

"night yoon."

His voice is soft. "night chim."
