The car finally stopped. I am now getting off the car with Hueningkai's help. When we got out of the car, he let me walk a few steps and stepped back.

"Hey, are you guys gonna drive off without me?" I asked while removing the blindfold.

I looked around to see the same overlooking me and Beomgyu went to last night.

I saw Beomgyu appear from behind a big tree.

"My parents were the first ones who found this very special place," he started as he was getting closer to me.

"It was a place where we shared our laughters and beautiful memories."

"When they died, I promised myself I'll still keep this place special. I promised myself that the moment I'll find my special someone, I'll confess to them here at this place where my parents also started their love story."

Beomgyu's words were making my heart beat faster. I felt my eyes watering as I was watching him get even closer, now only a few inches away from me.

"Taehyun, will you be that special someone?" he said holding a bouquet of dark red carnations infront of me.

"Yes," I said smiling widely at him.

He dropped the flowers he was holding and hugged me tightly.

"I love you," he whispered into my ear.

"I love you too," I answered him back.

His face was slowly getting closer to mine. I closed my eyes, waiting for our lips to touch-

"CAN WE EAT NOW? I'M HUNGRY."

Hueningkai's statement made me realize we were not alone. I pushed Beomgyu away, blushing at the realization that we almost kissed.

Beomgyu scratched his head looking away from me.

"L-let's go eat, my treat." Beomgyu said and quickly went inside the car.
