"hello doctor

"new phone who dis,"

chaerin rolled her eyes. this guy─ he is the one who called me.

"what do you

"just because,"

"oh my god, really?"
"do you know that

"do you know that

"but i call you

"okay wow."
"i literally can't explain
how thankful i am right now,"
"i'm crying a pacific ocean omg."

she heard wonwoo laughed on the other side of the call. what a dork.

"i really can't be here
for long, i got pile of works
that need to be done here."
"if you got nothing to say
then i'll hang up first,"

"no no no no no,"
"please, don't hang up!"

"then what is it?"
"why did you call?"

"actually,"
"do you have time

"i'm free,"

"great,"
"let's eat together."

"okay, text me

"we'll meet there,"

"there's no need
for that,"
"i'm already here,"

"what do you

"i mean your workplace,"
"look out the window,"

chaerin raised her brows and look outside the parking lot. there is that guy waving his hand at her.

"oh my god."
"this place is authorized,
how did you get in??"

"there's always a
way for a hot guy,"

"oh please,"

-

wonwoo took her to the nearest food court for lunch. chaerin need to go work fast as she still got many things to do in the office. they got their foods in front of them and start digging in.

"by the way, are you sure you come here just to eat with me?" chaerin asked. wonwoo paused and look at her. "uhm actually.. i need you."

"you... need me?" chaerin blinked her eyes for a few times. can't believe what he just said.

"not really but─" wonwoo trails off. "wow i don't know its this hard to say it to you."

"well then, take your time." chaerin shrugged and continue to eat. wonwoo sigh and get his shit together. come on, just say it, wonwoo. you got this. he told himself.

"we need to find a ring. i want to propose you." wonwoo blurted out. chaerin choked on her kimchi stew and cough till her face is red and her eyes got teary. wonwoo quickly gets up and gave her some water.

"wait. oh god, i'm sorry i didn't mean to─ i mean, this is not what i planned. are you okay??" he patted her back and noticed that people around there is looking at them. not cool, wonwoo. this is so not cool.

"i'm not really fine─ what did you say again?"

"this is early but let's just do it. i've always wanted to make my mom happy. and she said she couldn't be more happier if i marry you. plus, i think we're a very good pair. we're not even young anymore. let's just do this. if something goes wrong, we will fix it. we're adults anyway." wonwoo look at her. "kang chaerin, officially now, without the ring yet ; let's get married."

this is too fast.this is too fast thisis toofast─ chaerin look at him unbelievably. "i'm not sure..." she look down. suddenly, wonwoo grabs her hand and the people around there starts chanting ;

"say yes."

"say yes."

"say yes." 

wonwoo smiles to her and raised his brow. "...please??" well to propose in the middle of a food court was never in his plan but this is fine, he guess?

chaerin could feel her face got hotter than ever and slowly nod her head.

"yes."

-

that evening, chaerin come home with a ring perfectly wrapped around her finger. after she finished her work, wonwoo deadass took her to find for rings.

"that guy.. did he even know what he's doing?" chaerin lie down on the bed and lift her hand up to the ceiling ; looking at that ring.

"this one is hella expensive. i think i could pay my whole student, and car loans if i sell this." chaerin widened her eyes. remembering how easily he got this ring for her. she always dreaming to be rich. so she and her dad won't have to work hard anymore. but this is not how she imagined it to happen. 

after thinking and discussing with herself, chaerin type something to wonwoo.

chaerin
this is a long ass text.
so now we're getting married.
though its because of our parents..
of course, there'll be some issues
with feeling and stuff. let's make it short
here. please, don't ever make me fall
for you if you never planned to fall for me.
and if you have love interest with someone
else, just say it to me immediately.
don't play around.
just don't.
okay?

wonwoo smiles reading that text and type his own reply.

wonwoo
instead of making things complicated,
uhm you know, we're both workaholic and one day we might just die because of over working. so before that happen, 

lets just learn to love each other.

how's that?
