it was a usual day for kang yeosang: he woke up and ate breakfast with his best friend jung wooyoung, left the appartment for work, came home in the evening, and spent a quiet night with wooyoung in bed.

however, as he entered into wooyoung's appartment with his own set of keys, he could hear a hurried rustling coming from inside. confused, he walked into the kitchen to see his best friend was trying to hide something in an envelope.

"o-oh. hi sangie!" wooyoung said, slightly shakily. "how was wor-"

"what are you hiding?"

"uh... okay fine." the younger broke and handed the paper to yeosang. "i was trying to surprise you."

"you're full of surprises, aren't you?" the older chuckled, opening up the letter. he stopped in his tracks as he saw the title.

"the completion of your divorce settlement... oh my god-" yeosang's breath caught in his throat, and he looked at wooyoung's huge smile as he began to do the same. "it's done!"

after a long five months, seongwha and yeosang had finally and legally split up.

he cheered, and automatically wooyoung was at his side, pulling him tightly to his chest.

"oh my god, this is definitely your best surprise yet." yeosang laughed, holding wooyoung's face in his hands and pressing a kiss to his forehead.

"that's not all!" the younger laughed, then he suddenly stopped, and shyly pulled a ring out of his pocket.

yeosang went silent, wide-eyed.

"it's not... exactly what you think." wooyoung said quickly. "it's just a promise ring, but it means a lot. sangie, i never want to lose you. that year we didn't speak was the worst year of my life, and i never want us to be apart again. so, i guess this is a promise to always be with each other, whether that's as friends, or maybe even lovers in the future. d-do you accept?"

heart thumping, yeosang stared at wooyoung, down on one knee with the ring in his hand. it was just too perfect, almost like he was dreaming it.

"of course i will." yeosang could barely speak, and could feel tears pricking his eyes. "god... i love you wooyoung."

"i know." he laughed, slipping the ring onto yeosang's finger. "i feel exactly the same."

"okay i take it back, this is your best surprise yet."

"well, who knows what surprises i'll have for you in the future." wooyoung took his hands in his. "all that i know is that i want my future to be with you; who cares what else happens!"

"shut up, you're gonna make me get emotional..." yeosang laughed, before happy tears trickled down his cheeks.

"what am i gonna do with you if you keep crying all the time?" the younger of the pair smirked, until yeosang gave him a death glare. "sorry... don't hit me."

"i won't!" he exclaimed, fluffing up wooyoung's hair. "you're lucky i love you."

"i am, aren't i?"
