ok tbh i see wonho absolutely losing his mind over this
acting weird for weeks but once you ask what’s wrong, he looks like he’ll have a breakdown any second so you just let him be, figuring or rather hoping he’ll get back to normal soon
he hates keeping things from you. he really does, but
he just wants it to be perfect. he tries to plan out how he’ll propose down to the smallest detail, because you can’t say no. honestly what would he even do if you said no???? cry for 38 years that’s what
so he plans it all out, even prepares a speech, telling you how much you mean to him and how he wants to spend the rest of his life with you and all
and then he takes you to the sea. he packs blankets and tea and you sit down together on the almost deserted beach, wrapped in blankets and watching the ocean together, just talking until even your quiet chatter dies down and you watch wave after wave crash onto the shore
and wonho looks at you, looking so beautiful and he’s still so in love with you and his hand wraps around the ring in his pocket and he’s ready to ask you to-
he leaves the ring in his pocket and you leave the beach after a while and wonho hates himself a little bit because he really wanted to ask he you, he really did, but he just couldn’t
he tries again and again, plans out scenario after scenario but he chickens out every time
the ring is always in his pocket, the words he practiced so many times are always on his tongue, but
it’s never the right moment, he thinks. something’s always wrong, the mood, the timing, something, he doesn’t quite know what it is most of the time, it’s just-
he wants to find the perfect moment, ok?? it has to be perfect
or maybe it’s just that’s he is petrified you might say no because he loves you so much and he doesn’t wanna lose you
meanwhile the other members are getting more frustrated every day because wonho just won’t propose but he won’t stop talking about it either and honestly??? they’re running out of suggestions
it’s a day when you’re off work and wonho is as well but since wonho still hasn’t come up with a new plan and you haven’t seen the others in a while he invites you over to just spend the day with them
you’re all in sweatpans and just hanging out at their dorm, eating too much and playing video games
hyungwon is lying on the couch and reading, wonho is playing with his phone, shownu and kihyun went to the supermarket to grab more food
and you’re playing mario kart with minhyuk and changkyun, sitting too close to the tv and being way too into it for adults, cursing at items that hit you
it’s a close call but finally you get first place and
“ha!!”, you scream in victory, “take that suckers!”
minhyuk and changkyun groan in unison but wonho just chuckles
he loves it so much when you’re being dorky and kinda obnoxious. he loves you so much. he just wants to marry you, is that too much to ask for?
“just let me marry her..”, he mutters
four sets of eyes practically snap to gape at him, all laughter and chatter gone in an instant, the mario kart tune still playing mockingly in the background, making everything seem a little surreal
and you’re just. staring, eyes about to pop out of your head
he just stares back for a few second with equally wide eyes, feeling nauseous and dizzy because did he just really just say that aloud?? god no you’re gonna hate him you’re gonna leave you’re gonna-
“wonho?”, you ask quietly but demanding
he swallows and takes a deep breath. now or never, he thinks
he walks over to you and sits down on his knees right in front of you, pulling out the little box he’s been carrying around for weeks now
“y/n”, he repeats and looks into your eyes and again you’re just staring back, completely in shock and trying to convince yourself you’re not dreaming
meanwhile the other boys are just sitting there, gaping, also not believing what’s going on right before their eyes
“i kinda had an entire speech written out for this but honestly?”, wonho laughs nervously, “i can’t remember any of it right now…just”
he opens the box and holds it up a little, your gaze flickering between wonho and the ring in his hands
“i love you, y/n. please marry me?”
overwhelmed with emotions, tears start spilling out your eyes and you start to cry
“y/n?”, wonho asks, voice uncertain all of a sudden and his frown deepening by the second
he looks so ridiculously concerned that you can’t help but chuckle even though you’re crying. you quickly start to nod, wiping your tears
“of course. of course i’ll marry you”
and wonho’s expression immediately shifts into one of pure delight and the way he looks as much in love with you as you feel you’re in love with him right now, makes the emotions rushing over you only stronger, causing you to smile wider and cry harder
he takes the ring out of the box and your hand in his
“can i?”, he asks, smiling at you shyly
you nod again, not really able to talk, tears still rolling down your cheeks
as soon as the ring’s on your finger, you practically throw yourself at your now fiancé, arms wrapping around him, burying your face in his neck
his arms tighten around you and he starts laughing and crying, too
on the living room floor, in sweatpants and with unbrushed hair, the mario kart theme still playing in the background. clinging to each other and laughing and crying at the same time
your emotions are all over the place but what you know is this:
you’re happy. so unbelievably and incredibly happy.
you don’t even notice when minhyuk and the other boys finally start breathing again, too, groaning and laughing because “can you believe him oh my god” and “finally he got his shit together”
you don’t notice either when a few minutes later the door opens and shownu and kihyun come back, kihyun promptly dropping his bag of snacks
