The whole of Seventeen and their spouses were currently all laugh and smiles as they celebrated the birth of their leader and best friend Seungcheol's first child, a baby boy given the name Seungbin. Seungbin was currently smiling in the arms of Hyemi, Wonwoo's girlfriend of 6 years. And from a distance in the kitchen island, Wonwoo fondly watched the love of his life cradle his leader's child ever so lovingly.
I smiled as Hyemi carefully held baby Seungbin in her arms, smiling when he reached for her face. As she continued playing with him I couldn't help but feel my heart swell at the thought of her as a mother, she'd be the best mother in the world. I was deep in my thoughts when the sound of a chair being pulled brought me back to reality.
"I could see you smiling from the back." I smiled at Mingyu's words ashe leaned on the kitchen island and looked towards Hyemi.
"If I'm being honest...you and Hyemi's love for each other keeps growing stronger and stronger with each passing year." I chuckled at Mingyu who hit my shoulder.
"Of course it'll become stronger." I said as he shook his head.
"You two have it real good...ever thought of...you know...proposing?" Mingyu asked causing my brain to shut down.
"I uh...don't really think about that too much..." I trailed and felt my face and ears heat up as Mingyu gasped.
"What? Never?.....I mean you guys have been dating for...what...4 years-5?" he asked as I shook my head.
"It's 6 years." I said as he pointed at me.
"See! You've been dating for 6 years already...maybe it's time to tie the knot?" he asked as I thought for a moment and cleared my throat.
"I don't know...if Hyemi's ready then...I'm ready really...." I trailed as Mingyu patted my back.
"Just because I said it doesn't mean the both of you have to get married...I was just recommending it since you two have been dating since high school and you guys seem to be in a really good place right now...I mean that's what me and the boys think." he said as I nodded.
"I have been thinking about it for a while now but I don't know if she's ready." I said as Mingyu patted my shoulderwith a smile.
"Well, you won't know unless you ask right? So maybe propose to her and if she's still not ready you guys can wait." he said as I took a dee breath and let it go.
"Yeah...should I propose? How do I even do it?" I asked him as he smiled and stood up.
"You have us!" he said as I felt my heart rate accelerate.
I found myself standing inside a jewellery boutique infront of a display case filled with all sorts of rings. With a shaky breath I let my trembling hands graze over the display case when one of the employees, an elderly woman came towards me.
"Looking for a gift for your lover?" she asked as I shook my head.
"No...I mean yes...I mean-uh...I was hoping to...uh...find a ring to...propose to my girlfriend..." I said as she gasped.
"Oh my gosh...that's amazing! Let me help you then...exactly what type of ring are you looking for?" she asked as I thought for a while.
"I uh...well...my Hyemi...she's a very loving and hardworking person...she's a really humble person so...she doesn't really like things which are over the top...she's more keen on minimalistic items...not too flashy." I said as she smiled.
"You know her tastes and preferences really well, if you're searching for a ring on the simpler side than these should be just right." she said and brought out a tray of rings with a more simpler touch to them.
I scanned through all of them only to frown when I didn't seem to like any of them. The employee must've sensed my dislike as she put them away and took out another set of rings.
"I...these rings...are really beautiful but they don't really tick the boxes..." I said as she smiled at me reassuringly.
"It's alright, not everyone finds the one they want." she said and smiled at my timidness.
"You seem really nervous." she said as I straightened up.
"I am..." I trailed as she thought for a while.
"Ah! How about you customize a ring for her? With custom rings the ideas and styles are endless. Plus, it can perfectly showcase the love and compassion you have for her." she said as I thought about it.
"Okay then...I'll customize the ring." I said and got right into work the moment I reached home.
The plan was basically perfect at this point. The boys had helped with planning a special and memorable proposal which would take place a week from now at the café you both frequented since high school and it was the coincidently the place where Wonwoo confessed and took you out for your first date 6 years ago. Wonwoo thought that it was perfect since that place had become a hub for both of your sweetest memories.
With the help of Seungkwan, Jeonghan, Chan and Hoshi the boys had successfully convinced Wonwoo to make the proposal over the top by renting the whole café and decorating the place with flowers, candles, fairy lights and all the cliche set ups for the proposal. But it was when the ring arrived that Wonwoo started realizing the situation. He was finally gonna ask you the love of his life, his best friend to spend the rest of your lives together and maybe create a family of your own...its no big deal...right?
"Are you sure you're ready and not just doing this because we're pressuring you?" I glanced up from my book to look at Seungcheol who leaned on the table.
"I...I never really thought about marriage until that day..." I said thinking back to two months back making Seungcheol furrow his brows.
"When?" he asked as I smiled and remembered that day like it was yesterday.
"Two months back...it was a month prior to mom's passing...one night while Hyemi was making dinner I was in the room alone crying because I missed mom...she heard me almost immediately and came running to me. She was by my side the whole night and even cried with me..." I trailed when I felt the love I had for her that moment come back to me. I fought back my tears as Seungcheol patted my back.
"Both of you are perfect for each other..." he said and smiled as I felt my tears flow down like a waterfall.
"I...I don't want to mess this up...I love her so much-way too much. I can't imagine my world without her in it..." I trailed and wipe my tears as Seungcheol hugged me.
"Gosh, the both of you are a match made in heaven. Hyemi's like my little sister and I couldn't be any happier knowing that she has you. I know that you'll take care of her with your whole heart and soul." he said after breaking the hug.
"Hyemi's here!" We jolted the moment Naeun exclaimed making me panic and dry my eyes knowing how she gets when she sees me like this.
"Don't worry." Seungcheol said and went to greet you.
"Cheol! Hii! Is Wonwoo there?" I heard from the hallway.
"Yes, he's in the living room! You two stay there I'll get you some tea and snacks!" Seungcheol said as she agreed and I panicked when her footsteps came closer.
"There you are!" I smiled at her cheerful voice and calmed down when she wrapped her hands around me and gave me a back hug.
"I missed you." I said and returned the hug, placing my hand over hers.
"I missed you more..." she said and kissed my head.
"How was your day?" I asked as she sighed.
"Horrible! But now that you're in my arms I feel sooo much better!" she said making me curse internally when I felt my eyes glisten with tears, I cursed internally again the moment I sniffled making her worry and get down by my side almost immediately.
"Woo...what's wrong? Are you okay?" she asked worriedly and hugged me.
"Y-Yeah...c-completely fine." I trembled as she ran her fingers through my hair.
"I won't force you to tell me...but don't worry...I'm here. It's alright...it's okay." she said making me cry more. Unbeknownst to us, Seungcheol and Naeun watched us loving with tears in their eyes and proud smiles gracing their features.
"They're perfect for each other." Naeun whispered as she leaned her head on her husband's shoulder.
"They are." Seungcheol answered with a proud smile.
The ride back home was quiet and the only sound was the music playing in the background as we basked in comfortable silence. After we reached home Hyemi warmed up the food and played with my hands while waiting.
"Let's go to bed early, you wouldn't want to wake up with swollen eyes on your birthday would you?" she asked making me chuckle as I shook my head.
"I wouldn't mind though...mind if I'm the big spoon tonight?" I asked as she chuckled.
"You're always the big spoon." she said making us laugh.
After doing our night routine we went straight to bed.
"I love you so much." I whispered in her ear making her giggle as she turned to press a kiss on my lips lovingly.
"Well too bad cause I love you more." she said making me smile as I positioned my face on her shoulder and held her tight.
It was 3 am in the morning and nothing could break me out of my peaceful sleep...that's what I thought until someone abrutly pulled me from my dreams by shaking me making me groan as I turned the other way.
"Wake upp!" I groaned and turned the other way and covered my face with the sheets.
"You said that I should get as much sleep as possible, why are you disturbing me?" I groaned as she continued shaking me.
"It's your birthday wake upp!" she exclaimed as I ignored her pleas and drifted off to sleep.
"Then I won't show you your gift." she said and walked away making me sigh as I got up.
"Show me-yah it's still 3 am!" I whined as she pulled me out of the bed and took me to the living room.
"What-Did you prepare all this?" I softly gasped as I put on my glasses to get a better look of the decorated living room.
"Yup, now wait here. Let me go get your cake." she said making me smile when she came back with the cake in her hands as she sang happy birthday to me.
"Now blow your candles and make a wish!" she encouraged me as I smiled and put my hands together and closed my eyes.
I wish that me and Hyemi can live a happy life together, forever.
I blew out the candles and cut the cake, taking the first bite and then I feed her the rest. After completing all the usual birthday traditions she took out a gift box and gave it to me.
"Happy birthday my love." she said as I kissed her forehead.
"You didn't have to but...thank you so much." I said as she motioned me to open it.
"Open it!" She said making me chuckle and go forward with opening the gift. After unwrapping the gift box I gasped at the large photobook.
"Me and your mother decided to make it together...we couldn't finish it together but I tried my best to incorporate her in it." she whispered as I grazed my finger through the engraved letters which read 'For our Wonwoo'.
"You...and mom?" I asked as she repeated.
"The album consists of all our sweetest and fondest memories with you..." she said as my eyes fogged with tears when I began flipping through the pages.
"This is so...beautiful..." I trailed as she smiled and rubbed my shoulder.
It was in that moment that I realised...she was the one for me. The girl who's stayed by my side our whole lives, through my best and worst moments, through thick and thin. Always taking care of me and making sure I was okay.
"Hyemi..." I trailed as I stood up with my hands in hers as I pulled her up to her feet.
"Woo?" she questioned as I went over to the cupboard and took the ring box out without her knowledge even though I took it out right in front of her. It was because I had specifically requested for the ring box to look like a book.
"I...I can't explain the love and admiration I have for you. We've known each other since our diaper days and never once have you ever given me a chance to doubt you. You're amazing, kind, sweet, loving, humble and out of this world , you're always looking out for your loved ones and I just couldn't...see myself with anybody else but you.
When mom passed...it was the darkest moment of my life and I still can't get used to her absence. But you made sure to take care of me and comfort me when I needed it the most. Mom once told me that one day I'd find someone who I couldn't live without, someone who was like oxygen to me...my life but I shrugged it off thinking that was pure fiction...something that only exists in books and movies. But...now I know...what she meant." I said and kneeled down on one knee making her softly gasp and cover her mouth as I continued.
"You proved it to me with your love and compassion. You're my whole world and I can't imagine my life without you in it. I've thought about it for a long time and I think-no...I know I'm ready so...Yoo Hyemi...will you make me the happiest man in the world and marry me, an introverted idiot who is hopelessly in love with you?" I said with a smile and opened the ring box as she sobbed and tackled me into a tight hug.
"Yes, yes, yes! A million times yes!" she cried out and hugged me as I felt my eyes fog up with tears of happiness. I quickly hugged her back and twirled her around.
"I love you so much!" I exclaimed and took out the ring as she chuckled and wiped her tears, bringing her hand forward as I slipped on the ring on her finger.
"I love you more!" She exclaimed and kissed me as I melted into the kiss almost immediately and kissed her back lovingly with my left hand on her cheek and my right hand on her waist.
When I was younger...the concept of love felt like an overrated and stupid concept but meeting you changed my whole perspective of love. Love is beautiful and love is ugly but it all balances out and creates a beautiful feeling, one which I cannot describe. We fight and we hate but it's completely natural and at the end of the day we still love.
Youâre the answer all my problems solved
Life with u is so beautiful
I was lost but found my purpose now
Iâm glad youâre keepinâ me around
Woah so I am done! It came out a little more dramatic and longer than I expected but I'm proud of this one.
So Wonwoo's birthday is around the corner and I worry I might not be able to post on his birthday so think of it as an early Birthday fic!đ âšđ
I hope you guys enjoyed reading this as much as I did writing it!
