As I walked through the lobby and to the door I fought back tears once again. Walking down the steps I raised my hand to wipe away the tears forming when I heard a voice call.

"Eunyoung wait!" I turned around to see Hyunjin running out in a panic. He wasn't wearing the usual hat, glasses, and mask that hid his identity.

"What are you doing? You can't be out here!" I whisper shouted hurriedly darting my head around to check if anyone was around. Luckily, there was no one.

"Eunyoung I need to talk to you." He was breathing heavily as if he had sprinted all the way here from the top floor.

"Get back inside before someone sees you!" I placed my hands on his chest and tried to push him back up the stairs.

"I'm not going back inside." He grabbed my hands and took them off of him with ease.

"What are you talking about?" My eyebrows were furrowed as I kept looking around for paparazzi.

He grabbed my chin with one hand and held my shoulder with the other.

"Eunyoung I don't care if anyone sees me." He spoke softly, sweat rolling down his hairline. "Call me crazy, but I think I love you."

And for the first time, I was speechless. I just stood staring at him in shock.

"Please say something." He smiled worriedly.

"I-I love you too," I muttered.

His eyes lit up as he reached into his pocket and pulled out a small box.

"I was saving this for Valentine's day, but Jeongin told me that he saw you at the mall once looking at this." He opened the container to show me the exact necklace that I was staring at that day. Its pearls twinkled in the sun. Pure love. That's what the lady at the store told me. I remembered thinking that was ridiculous. "Pure love". It was something from a fairytale. But now, looking into his eyes, I couldn't think of a better way to describe this feeling. It was pure. And it was love.

"I- how- wha-... I love it." I stammered.

"I'm glad" He smiled, then fumbled to grab his phone. "And the other surprise. The reason I've been running out of practice every day, and the reason I was up late with Chan that night."

He opened his phone and pressed a button. A song began to play. It was soft and it was so beautiful.

"We wrote you a song." He smiled sheepishly.

Tears welled up in my eyes as I listened to the perfect song that was playing. The lyrics were sweet and pure and amazing. The tears flowed as I smiled wide.

"It's perfect." I laughed, wiping the streams from my face.

His smile grew and he leaned in to kiss me. The kiss felt like the big bang, creating a new galaxy just for us. Bigger than the sun and the moon and every star.

He wrapped his arms around my waist and I held his head with mine. I never wanted this moment to end, and a part of me knew that there would always be a piece of me living within this kiss. That this kiss would live on forever within the universe. Playing on repeat until the end of time.
