Chapter Text
Hakyeon tapped his foot against the tree, nervously running his fingers down the bark. He checked his watch and sighed, realizing he had another fifteen minutes before you arrived; he had to get his bearings, it would be horrible if something went wrong or he messed up. Taking a deep breath, he looked up at the sky, the leaves and flowers of the cherry blossom tree he was under obscured his view a bit, yet he could see the clear, blue sky just past them.
Time passed quickly as he stared at the sky and before he could filter through his thoughts a bit more, you were standing in front of him, hands clasped behind your back with a confused look on your face. His breath hitched when he noticed you, mostly out of fright from you sneaking up on him but also because with the shade of the tree and the sunlight filtering through, it made you glow - almost like an angel. The sunlight danced around you like little fairies while the wind played with your hair and flowy shirt.
He almost wanted to cry at how beautiful you looked and his eyes did start to tear but he blinked them away, scared that once he started, he’d lose his nerve and screw up the whole plan. Taking a deep breath again, he cleared his throat and stepped towards you, shoving a hand in his pocket as he went. Once he had what he wanted, he took your hands and brought them behind your back in a hug, kissing your face teasingly and whispering ‘I love you’s, so you wouldn’t notice him slipping a ring on your finger.
Squeezing your hands, he kissed your forehead gently before leaning back to stare into your eyes, smiling softly. He played with the ring on your finger and watched the different emotions drift through your eyes: confusion, shock, love. Then your eyes teared up and fell down your cheeks, your lips twitching into a grin, nodding almost violently. Hakyeon let out the breath his was holding and grinned, picking you up a bit and spun around, your high-pitched shrieks matched his loud guffaws.
