@✧ park junhee 。 My adorable baby.
/I can't help but to give another quick kiss; cooing internally at your smile.
Hmm well, maybe if there's two tongue involved, it wouldn't take too long to melt?
/a mischievous grin decorate my face after successfully delivering that line.

@✧ kim wonpil 。 Mmh-- a bit of childlike impatience, I guess.
/mumbles a little, offering a sheepish smile in return while one hand gently runs over the small of your back
Letting it just melt feels like it's taking too long.

@✧ park junhee 。 Of course, I don't mind the wait.
/I give your lips a quick peck, letting a soft giggle escape my lips short after; my hand gently comb through your hair.
You chew on your chocolate?

@✧ kim wonpil 。 /lingering a moment longer in that kiss with you, I let my nose gently brush against your own, staying close to you; it's not until I need to chew the chocolate that I draw back just a little, lips lightly brushing against your own again before parting
But I don't think there's anything wrong with taking a bit of time... a bit just turned into a lot.

@✧ park junhee 。 Hmm, probably. We sure do take our time.
/as you take a bite on your part, I stayed still with my lips still pressed against yours; enjoying both the sweetness of the chocolate and your lips, taking a second to nibble on your lower tier before pulling away but still hovering my lips on yours.

@✧ kim wonpil 。 We're probably unique among other people. I don't know of anyone else who waited as long before this.
/with you placing one between your lips, I watch you, brow quirked for a moment before I catch on; carefully, I take a bite of the chocolate, my lips brushing against your own in the process, sharing a kiss as we share the piece of candy

@✧ park junhee 。 It was indeed an interesting and a little bit funny. But I do take pride in what we have.
/as soon as the chocolates come into my view, my eyes focuses on them and true to your words it was an assortment, a cute one at that; instead of answering your question, I reach my hand to grab the one that's mixed with white chocolate; putting it in between my lips with half of the chocolate peeking out as I tap it against your lips; quietly telling you to take a bite.

@✧ kim wonpil 。 We don't have to explain that, no. I'm sure the reactions must be interesting when we've been together like this for three months.
/with you on my lap, I wind an arm about your waist to hold you close, only freeing my other hand to draw the box closer; my fingers numbly peel at the paper wrapping in order to open it
It's an assortment-- but thankfully it's the kind that has a guide to show what one looks like what. What flavor does my princess want most?

@✧ park junhee 。 Me too, boyfriend. And hey, we don't need to explain to people why we aren't boyfriends anymore, right? Even though I kind of enjoy their reaction.
/with you shifting around, I gave a questioning look before understanding by myself what you were hinting at; so I carefully place both of my legs on either side of yours, shifting a little to get into a comfortable spot on your lap.
Oh! Chocolates! What kind did you get for me?

@✧ kim wonpil 。 Exactly. It's a label, but it's one I'm glad I get to use.
/careful of the wine, I shift, almost urging you to come onto my lap with my hands sliding toward your back and my body leaned toward your own
I'm glad we get to be together like this. Mmh-- oh, I almost forgot about the chocolates I got for you, too.

@✧ park junhee 。 I know, we both had each other even before this.. And nothing's going to change except for our status.
/I receive the kiss with my eyes closed before opening them once again, staring straight into yours; both of my arms slowly wrap around your neck, holding you close.
I love you too, so so much.

@✧ kim wonpil 。 Truth be told, you've had me to yourself this whole time... even if it wasn't something we discussed.
/the sight of that smile makes my heart beat quicken, feeling a bit more like fluttering against the inside of my ribcage; gently, I steal another kiss from your lips and move my hands, letting them both slide to either side of your waist
I love you, princess.

@✧ park junhee 。 /my hand fall onto your shoulder, giving it a tiny squeeze as I rest my forehead against yours; showing the sweetest smile I could offer.
It does take a while but it was worth it now that I have you all for myself— officially at least. And I could say the same too, love.

@✧ kim wonpil 。 Of course not--
/as you come just a little closer to me, I make no move to draw away, instead, staying close and kissing you back; my hand reaches out, blindly guided, before resting on your knee
I know it took a while to get there, but... I'm glad we're taking this step together, princess. There's no one else I would rather have next to me now, or in the future.

@✧ park junhee 。 why? Am I supposed to say no?
/I ask with a slight amusement in my tone before I carefully place my glass down on the ground; inching closer to you so that I could easily pull you by the neck, placing a short lingering kiss on your lips.
I am sure, love. I couldn't say no to moving to the next step— not when I'm sure I want to spend a really long time with you.

@✧ kim wonpil 。 /when you don't answer me, my expression turns from slight smile to something wider, but clearly nervous; the anticipation has me leaning toward you, as if expecting I might have to reach out to you or something like it; then your answer manages to catch me off guard, even though it's what I had hoped for
Are you sure? Really sure?

@✧ park junhee 。 /my head move to motion a nod, still staying silent to let you finish your sentence; upon hearing your next words, my calm expression turned into a surprised one with my eyes widening slightly as I was not expecting for this question.
Oh—
/I was speechless for a little, trying to organize my words inside my head but I settled for another short nod before I answered in a quiet voice.
I would love to..to make our relationship official and to be your boyfriend.

@✧ kim wonpil 。 Well, it's been three months since that confession, even longer since things really began...
/my voice trails off and I buy myself a moment with a sip of wine; my gaze flicks up over the rim to meet yours, and only after I lower my cup toward the floor at my side do I speak again
Would you like to make it official? You and me, committed. Boyfriends?

@✧ park junhee 。 /with the cup in my hold, I rest it on my lap; your word receive a slight tilt from my head, as if a silence request for you to continue your word.
What could it be that you want to say, love?

@✧ kim wonpil 。 /there's a soft tap of the glasses when their rims meet, and I say my part before taking a sip of the plum wine, humming over the sweet flavor, even if it isn't the most expensive of wine
I'm happy to hear you say that, princess.
Still, I think there's part of the other option that I didn't say as clearly as perhaps I could have.

@✧ park junhee 。 Hmm, both are nice but I really like the first option.. I really want us to stay together for a long time.
So— here's for a long and happy life together.
/with a wide smile decorating my lips, I lift my own glass to clink with yours before pulling the glass to my lips, taking a small sip from it.

@✧ kim wonpil 。 Well, we could toast to a long, happy life together?
/while you swirl the glass in your hands, I tip the rim of my own toward you just slightly
Or should it be to the next step in our relationship?

@✧ park junhee 。 /with my eyes never leaving yours, I let you tuck my hair back; almost making me shy with that simple gesture; I twirl the glass in my hand slightly, thinking a little.
A toast to us sounds nice. What should the toast be? Hmm..

@✧ kim wonpil 。 You're right, of course-- a hundred percent. It's the people that make a place a home.
/my eyes catch yours, that sudden shift in your attention, as if pulled from a reverie; I reach out and brush back a few strands of your hair, tucking them behind your ear before I lift my glass
A toast to me is a little selfish. So there's either two options. Either we toast to you, to make it fair, or... we toast to us

@✧ park junhee 。 It's the people we are surrounded with..it doesn't matter where, as long as we have people we cherish by our side, it'll still feel like home. And I'm delighted that I have my home right here, in front of me.
/I quickly snap out of my trance when the cup is being handed to me, taking it from you.
So— what are we cheering for now? Last time it was for you.
/the corner of my lips twitch slightly at the fond memory replayed in my head.

@✧ kim wonpil 。 It does. There was a lot of happiness here, and plenty of people I enjoyed seeing around. Now--
/carefully, I pass one of the cups to you, my lips quirked in a slightly larger smile as I settle onto my hip on the blanket
I know that places, like things, aren't what make a home, or make me happy.

@✧ park junhee 。 Now it feels a little bit bittersweet, doesn't it? This place used to be so full of life.
/as I let myself sit down on the blanket; my eyes didn't stop wandering around until it falls on you, looking so breathtaking even in this lighting that I can't help to stare a little longer.
Hmm, it has been quite a while.

@✧ kim wonpil 。 That's okay. I mean... I need closure with this place anyway.
/after leading you to the place, I help you sit down on the picnic blanket and sink to my knees after, using disposable plastic cups shaped like wine glasses to portion out plum wine
I wanted to do something nice, because I know it's been a long time for us. Especially like this.

@✧ park junhee 。 /a small shy smile stretch across my lips as I hold onto your hand when I walk in; eyes looking around the place that's filled with our sweet memories.
It's a sudden request, sorry.
But it's nice to be here once again and maybe for the last time, huh?
/slowly heading toward the place you have set up for us, my smile grew wider.
How adorable.

@✧ kim wonpil 。 /after dusting away the cobwebs and clearing a space for what looks like an impromptu, candle-lit picnic, I gently tug you here with a faint smile on my face
We can spend our time here, princess. There are a lot of memories here.
