you were surprised when byounggon had asked you out on a date, never thinking he would recricopate your feelings towards him. you were scared and worried but also, a part of you was immensely excited at the prospect of spending some time with your long-time crush. you heard a knock at your door and you nearly jumped out of your seat at the sudden noise. now, you were really nervous and you went to open the door to a smiling byounggon with a bouquet of flowers, and perhaps your heart melted at the sight. you thanked him for the flowers before quickly taking them off him.
‘are you ready, y/n?’ he said as he let out his hand. you shyly put your hand in his and smiled as his hand completely engulfed yours. on your way to the carnival, byounggon told you all about himself, about his cat called mr buttons and about his love for music and all the little things that made you fall for him more than you already had. as he was telling you a childhood story, hands flying everywhere, you couldn’t look away from him, you found yourself hanging on to every word, every little detail about him. it scared you how much you liked him. you only hoped he felt the same.
but little did you know, byounggon thought you were the most beautiful person, how your eyes shone, how you let out the sweetest giggles at anything remotely funny, how you never failed to put a smile on his face. he was hoping to confess to you after this date about how much he liked you.
bright lights, laughter, music, the smell of candy floss and freshly made doughnuts invaded all your senses. your first stop was the shooting games. your eyes immediately went to the grey dinousar plushie. after a numerous amount of (failed) attempts, byounggon’s teasing and laughing at you and you pouting in response, byounggon finally took pity on you and won the plushie in a matter of seconds.
before you managed to sputter out a ‘how the hell did you do that?’ he beat you to it as he bowed, ‘for you m’lady’.
the fake british accent and his silly attempt at bowing had you in giggles before you responded, with your own courtesy, ‘why, thank you, kind sir.’
‘so what are you going to name it?’ he questioned as you both started to walk around.
‘i think i’m going to name him bx’ you responded, ‘he’s cute and cuddly just like you’ you added in your head.
‘w-what? what did you just say?’ he spluttered out, whilst his cheeks were stained with a pretty pink blush. your eyes widened as you realised you hadn’t thought it but actually said it out loud.
‘i- er i.. i called you cute ??’ you winced as your voice came out confused. you were so embarrassed but seeing the blush on his face just made you all giddy inside.
‘i... er.. well thank you, i guess’ he said after a few excruciating seconds.
‘should we-’
‘yes, let’s go get something to eat’ he cut off before you could finish your question.
—
after a couple of more games and grabbing something to eat which lead to byounggon tricking you into letting him pay for you, you promising that next time it would be on you. cue byounggon’s teasing you about a ‘next time’ but secretly screaming and jumping on the inside at the thought of seeing you again.
you both were just walking around the carnival, the loud laughter surrounding you, something caught your eye. the ferris wheel.
and as your excitement got the better of you, you grabbed onto gon’s wrist and ran forward to the line. you didn’t realise you were still holding his wrist and when you felt him finally interlace your fingers together, the contact made your heart melt and your face flushed pink.
‘who’s next?’ the loud voice of the worker bought you back to your senses. you let gon pull you towards the ferris wheel carriage, your hands still intertwined and you couldn’t help but notice how perfectly your small hands fitted in his. you let out an exhale you didn’t know you were holding. you sat besides him and watched his face morph into excitement and fascination as the carriage started to ascend. you felt your heart sore at the mere sight of an excited byounggon.
‘y/n? did you hear me?’ you came out your thoughts as you saw his hand wave across your face. you turned to face him as you let out a small giggle at the confusion on his face.
‘sorry, what did you say?’ you let out after your giggles died down.
‘you look really beautiful tonight.’
beautiful. he called you beautiful. you quickly looked down as an attempt to hide a growing blush but you felt fingers slowly pushing your head back up, coming face to face with an equally shy and bashful looking byounggon.
‘i’ve wanted to ask you out on a date ever since i first saw you in math class, your eyebrows scrunched up in confusion and your books sprawled out everywhere,’ at this he let out a little chuckle and a fond expression took over his face as he thought about the memory. ‘i really like you, i want to continue getting to know you and perhaps maybe also be your boyfriend? that is, only if you want.’
you just stared at him. your heart beating wildly in your chest, threatening to jump out. byounggon, the guy you’ve had a crush on for the longest time, liked you back? you had realised you hadn’t answered yet, being lost in your thoughts, as you saw his face morph into worry and then into sadness at your lack of response.
you grabbed ahold of his hands that were beside you and intertwined your fingers slightly, as you let out a ‘yes’.
you sighed in content as you felt his soft lips gently press against your cheek. of course that’s what you want. it’s what you’ve wanted for a long time.
