"Jihyun, are you sure it's here?" He nods eagerly, parking the car in an empty, grassy field at the edge of a forest. There was a meteor shower scheduled for tonight, and he was hoping to take some photographs of it. You two brought your telescope (A Celestron NexStar 6 SE), and a picnic blanket to rest on since you both plan on staying for a while. Once the car stops, you immediately get out and open the trunk, delicately lifting out the telescope in its case. You remove the case, and position it, angling it just right so it looks up around the place where you both assume the meteors will be.
He turns the key, and shuts off the car, stepping out to meet you. His arms wrap around you from behind, his head resting on yours. You smile softly, and lay an arm on his, leaning into him. You both sigh in content, gazing up.
"I'm glad we made it," he whispers, and you smile, turning around to kiss him. Both of you know he's not just talking about the location. You were both very lucky to still be alive...although you try not to dwell on that too much. A bright light passes across the sky, and you jump, gasping. Jihyun gently pulls away, kissing your cheek softly before busying himself over by the telescope. He's hoping to get some shots up close, and knowing his photography skill, you have no doubt in your mind they'll turn out stunning. As he begins to take photographs, you hum a soft song to yourself, and laugh as you watch the meteors across the sky.
Jihyun pauses, turning to watch you. As you continue to swirl in the grass, he begins to take pictures. After a few minutes, you notice, and outstretch an arm, offering him a dance. He smiles, and sets his camera on the car, resting his arms on your waist. You both sway from side to side softly as you hum, your head resting on his chest. You look up to him, and his breath stops; with the light from the meteors reflecting in your eyes, you look so much more perfect than you normally do...even though he never thought that was possible. He smiles, and kisses you as the final meteors cross the sky. You close your eyes, and hug him tightly.
"MC?" You open your eyes, and yawn. Giggling, you smile happily.
"Yes, Jihyun?" He stops moving, brushing a hand through your hair.
"Throughout all this time, you have stayed with me. You have changed my life for the better, every single day. From the time I first met you, my life has only improved. You've been so, so patient with me, and I thank you for that. I love seeing your smile, and...I'd like to see it every day, for the rest of my life." He gets down on one knee, and you smile widely, tears pricking at your eyes. He pulls out a small black box, and reveals a beautiful ring.
"MC, would you marry me?" His eyes shined with tears, hopeful and terrified at the same time. You nod eagerly, and begin to sob.
"Thank you...god I love you, Jihyun!" He stands up, and holds you so tightly. You gasp, and hug him back, sobbing into his shoulder joyfully. After several minutes, you both separate, and he pulls out the ring.
"May I?" You nod, blushing as he places the ring on your finger, gently sliding it up before kissing your hand. You smile, and hold his hand, walking back to pack up the stuff. Once you both do, you drive back. At a stop light, you turn on the light, and take a picture of your hand. Logging into the messenger, you post the picture. No words, no explanation.
On the way home, you both laugh as both of your phones are ringing off the hook.
