My Universe (Kino x Reader)
Kino x fem!reader Genre: Fluff (kinda corny) Description: After a few years of being attached by the hip, Kino finally pops the question
The day was horrible.
The boys had just been told by Cube Entertainment that they wouldn't get any more funding for future projects unless they exceeded expectations. They knew that the code for a new group would be debuting soon. All the money they make on their own would need to be stretched between them, but how with all these new responsibilities? Pentagon lost Kingdom, lost Yanan, Jinho, and Hui were in the military, and now Kino must be the leader he always could be, but the stress was out of this world.
Unsure of what to do, Kino took himself out to a small tea house to think. He needed some air that wasn't consumed by greed. The tea house was cozy and private, just how he likes it. Sitting there for a while without ordering anything, he let his mind wander
"What are we gonna do? What will the fans think? How am I supposed to explain this to my hyungs?"
Times have changed a lot since that fated day you and Kino met. Ever since that day, Kino has returned to the cozy tea house every other day just to see you. If you didn't already know he was an idol, you'd think he was a stalker. For an idol, his schedule wasn't all that busy. After a few times of him coming in, you finally asked why that is, and shockingly, he told you the truth.
A hostess poured some tea in his cup, the smell of lavender relaxing his racing mind. He looked up to reveal a beautiful stranger.
You.
"For the anxiety." You whisper before politely walking away.
Despite how horrible his day might have been, your generous act of kindness made him feel whole again. As he stared into the tea cup, all he could see was your beautiful face. Is this love at first sight?
Ever since that day, Kino has returned to the cozy tea house every other day just to be in your presence.
Four Years Later
Times have changed since that fated day you and Kino met. After several more visits to the tea house you own, he finally asked you out. If you hadn't known he was an idol, you would've kicked him out for being a stalker but you know now that he was just shy. That was also an act, though. The more you got to know him, the less shy he was. Almost overconfident sometimes. No matter what though you loved him just the same.
Kino has his own record label now promoting himself as an independent artist, making him a lot more busy than he was when you met him, but you couldn't be prouder. The two of you were in America for a couple of press events covering his upcoming album. As his interview continues, you stand to the side, so the camera is not on you.
"So we have reports that you and your girlfriend y/n have been together for about 3 years now. Is that correct?"
"Yes, it's actually soon to be four." He smiles giving you a small glance before looking back at the camera.
"We're so happy to hear that. The two of you are just so cute, and the fans love her. Should we hear anything about an engagement soon?" The interviewer taps her watch in a "times a ticking" motion, making Kino chuckle a little.
"I promise when she says yes, you all will be the first to know." You stumbled into the security guard, unsure of what you just heard. You two never even truly spoke about marriage outside of pillow talk, but everybody knows that doesn't count. As you watch the interviewer give her nod of approval to Kinos' answer before moving on to the next question, your heart beat faster as you thought, "When did he ask me to marry him?"
The drive home was a silent one, which is unusual for you because you love car karaoke, but you can't get what he said earlier out of your mind.
"When did you ask me to marry you?" You blurted out. He laughed softly. "Baby, you're still thinking about that?"
"Yes, because you told that nice journalist I haven't said yes yet but you never asked!"
"Do you want me to ask now?"
"Not in the car." You whined
"Why not? Ever since I went independent, we spent most of our time in the car. We got lots of good memories while driving. Our first kiss was in the car."
"Our first kiss was in the tea house," you corrected him.
"Cheek kisses don't count." He laughed as you playfully hit him.
Back at the Hotel lobby, you grab all your stuff and head into the elevator, ignoring the press taking pictures of the two of you. You've gotten used to that over the years. Surprisingly, some of the best pictures taken of you are ones where you're not paying attention, so they're only half bad. As soon as the door closes, Kino looks at you with nothing but love in his eyes.
"Why are you giving me that look?" You ask
"Am I not allowed to stare at my universe?" He asks, coming closer to you. Before it gets to your floor, he quickly pecks your lips leaving you wanting more but before you could jump him the door opens with a ding revealing
"Roses?"
Roses. A lot of roses trailing from the elevator to your room. You look at Kino grinning like an idiot. He takes your hand in his walking on the trail of roses.
"Oh my God." Security takes your stuff so the two of you can walk freely. You know what's happening, but it's still insane to think of. You make it to the door and stop walking. He takes your both your hands, looking deep in your eyes. If he wanted to, he could probably see through your soul, and you'd let him. Despite how confident he looks, his hands are shaking in yours. You've never seen him more nervous.
"Y/N, before we walk in there, I just want you to know that ever since the day we met, you changed my life forever. I don't know where I'd I be without that lavender tea. Even though you've made me thousand more, I'll never forget the first, and I only hope I've become a man worth pouring in your life the way you have mine." A tear rolls down his cheek, and you wipe it away before giving him a gentle kiss there.
"Oh Hyung-gu, how I love you. You've grown so much since we first met. We both have." You smile
"Did you really think I was going to propose in the car?" You laughed
"You technically still haven't asked!" He laughs, letting go of your hand yo reach in his pocket. Your hands cover your mouth in shock. This ring looked like something out of a fantasy novel, with, of course, both your birthstones in the middle surrounded by little diamonds. To make matters worse, he opened the door to your hotel room and revealed balloon letters that say, "Marry Me?"
"Well, will you be my universe for the rest of my life?" You turn around to reveal Kino kneeling with the ring still in his hand.
"Yes. A million times, yes!" He puts the ring on your finger, and you kiss him with all your might. Flashes of the future happen before you very eyes as sparks Flys in your mind.
You can't wait for the rest of your lives.
