"Where are you from?"
"Me? The hotel near the park earlier."
"What, you haven't found a house yet?"
"I know."
I was walking around the park lake when suddenly Jeongguk stopped and said.
"Just wait a moment."
I replied that I understood and waited. Jungkook rummaged through his bag.
He took something out and held it out to me. It looked like a gift.
I really thought a lot about this when I bought it.
I've been waiting to give it to you.
He asked me to accept it and said this.
"Amiyah. Go out with me."
"huh..?"
I was embarrassed. Not because I didn't like it, but because it was something I had originally intended to do.
It was a confession.
"I will make you the happiest person in the world.
We travel together and draw pictures."
"....I'm already happy thanks to you."
I said this and hugged Jeongguk.
So he hugged me too.
"You're accepting it, right?"
"of course."
When I opened the box, there was a ring inside.
"When did you prepare something like this...?"
"Before you came."
"What would you have done if I hadn't come?"
"How could that be?"
Jungkook smiled and said this.
"Amiya. If it's okay with you, would you like to live together?"
"huh?"
"No, what... I'd rather just buy another house since I already have a room left."
"Okay, good."
I guess I answered too easily than expected
Her eyes were round like a rabbit's. I thought that was really cute.
Is the bean pod ripe?
"Actually, I don't have enough money to buy a house either.
Haha, I thought I'd have to sleep on the street if I couldn't find you.
Of course I'm happy that Jungkook lives with you."
As I spoke, Jeongguk grabbed my hand with a happy face and pulled me along.
He took me straight to where he was staying.
He went in and somehow showed me around the room.
We were having fun playing board games and before we knew it, it was already dark.
"Are you hungry now?"
"No, I'm not hungry because I ate a lot earlier."
"Would you like some bread?"
"I'm really not hungry... Okay."
I said I would just eat and sat in front of Jeongguk.
But Jeon Jungkook stopped opening the bread bag and stared at me intently.
I hesitated and then spoke because he was staring at me with such a blank expression on his face.
"....Is there something on my face....?"
"No, because it's pretty."
"Oh. What the heck?"
"..... Let's just not eat it now."
After Jeon Jungkook said this, he came to me.
It was so close to my nose that I thought, "Ah, is this the right time?"
I closed my eyes tightly.
But then I heard Jeongguk chuckling.
I was embarrassed and tried to open my eyes again, thinking, "Isn't this it?"
Suddenly, Jeon Jungkook covered his lips with mine.
As I was hesitating, he put my arm on his shoulder.
"ᆢ Hey, let me breathe....."
So, Jeon Jungkook smiled as if he thought it was cute.
"Jungkook, you. Are you really my first love?"
"Of course, why are you asking such a thing?"
"That sounds like a lie."
"Where does it seem like a lie?"
"......"
"You are truly my first love. I will marry my first love."
"You want to marry me?"
"Yeah. No?"
"What's not possible?"
When I said this, he laughed and said, "Ssss."
And then Jungkook kissed her again.
I thought to myself that I was living a truly happy life.
I felt like I could do anything if I had this.
"I love you, Amiya."
"How much?"
"Don't you know better?"
"Me too. I love you more than you think."
Jeon Jungkook. My gift.
Thank you so much for meeting me.
