-Present-
Seung-cheol laughed as he walked to her whining about the confession. 
"Seriously? Like, I was in my night shorts! No hair done. Glasses hanging weirdly. Dark circles were visible because there was no make-up. I wasn't even wearing a bra!"
"Come on, don't cry." He was still laughing as he wrapped his arms around her head.
"Like, you should've at least invited me outside so I would've dressed a little. I get it you wanted to surprise me but what kind of surprise was it??"
She was whining as she put her head on his stomach as he hugged her. 
"I was already frustrated from work and Jeonghan being there in the room, annoying me didn't help my mood. Then you proposed, I couldn't even think properly!"
Seung-cheol caressed her head as she kept on complaining about how he should've warned her.
"But hey, you had your nails done. Right?" He cut her off.
She stopped and looked up at him as he was smiling down at her. "Choi Seung-cheol!!"
He threw his head back while laughing wholeheartedly at her yell. "You were still looking beautiful to me."
"Get away." She pushed him away and crossed her arms. His eyes landed on the ring she wore on her left middle finger and it made his heart race.
It reminded him of the time when he was talking to her parents before he proposed to her. He was all nervous and scared.
He knew she would say yes but asking the questions directly was a big step. It was not easy to ask.
But his heart fluttered at the thought that she said yes.
He grabbed her hand and pulled it up to his face. She looked up at him holding her hand as he stared at the ring.
"Rose gold colour really suits you." He whispered as he touched the diamonds. "Next time instead of small diamonds, I'll get a bigger one."
"Huh-"
"But that will also feel less. How about more diamonds around the bigger one? You also don't wear necklaces. How about a choker with diamonds? That would-"
"Okay, that's enough of the talk." She put her hand up, stopping him from blabbering more. "How can you casually just-"
"Why can't I?" He laughed while shaking his head. "If I can afford everything." He smirked. "You know that Jiyoon always has gold or diamond jewellery on her every day. You have seen it yourself."
Eunji choked at the image of one of Jiyoon's closets which was filled with only just jewelry.
"Even I'm fond of jewellery. Not accessories like your brand but real jewellery. The one with all real stones and materials." His smirk didn't wear off as he bragged about his wealth.
"You are so weird for bragging about that." She scoffed. "But I'm not complaining. You have it so you brag it. I don't see anything wrong there."
"Now that's a big girl talk." He patted her head before sliding his hand down to her cheek as he leaned down to her face. 
"What?" A smile formed on her lips as she watched him lean down to her face. She moved her head up while tilting her head.
"What?" He also tilted his head while staring into her eyes. He could see her eyes quiver, trying to maintain eye contact. 
It happened because he had suddenly dropped the tone of his voice into much deeper, the one he doesn't usually show. The voice he usually speaks in when he doesn't have to speak loudly.
