Yumi's POV:
There was a sharp chill in the air as I wrapped my scarf tighter around my neck,the little white flurries from earlier have momentarily paused as if to let me pass by the sidewalk without possibly slipping on fresh snow piled up on the corner.
The glow of the sunset,it's past 6pm and the sun is already saying goodbye.
The concept of sunsets always leave me in awe,the sun dies for the moon to come out and the latter repeats the cycle endlessly.
It's the smell of fresh hot chocolate being brought out that makes me reach over for a mug and swiftly chug it down,as if I've never drank anything in my life.
My throat no longer dry,as the sweet chocolate flavor rolled down it and filled my senses.
It's when my lover's hand grabs mine and pulls the mug away from my bare hand.
Which was finally starting to warm up after being exposed to the crisp air outside for too long.
We went out today,mainly for a date.
However,Mingyu's reservation for the restaurant we were hoping to go to had fallen flat.
A lot of misunderstanding and with Mingyu apparently in the wrong more than the place itself.
We are now strolling down the Upper West Side of Manhattan trying to take breaks to warm up in the nearby cafe's.
Ever since I found out I was pregnant,my cravings have kicked in.
I want to literally eat everything and anything except pickles.
Mingyu eats them with his sandwiches and I always gag at the sight of them.
Early this morning,he ordered a sub with them and I vomited for what felt like hours from just the scent of pickles.
My mood swings are under control,they're normal..for now.
I let go of his hand momentarily to reach into my bag to reapply some of my favorite lip balm,it's cherry flavored and bright pink colored.
I twist the lid off and roll it onto my lips,I sigh in relief smelling the scent of fresh cherries just like as if they were in my hands right now.
He watches me carefully as I reapply my lip balm and I twist the lid back on,I lock eyes with him and grab his hand again after tossing it back into my purse.
He smirks and leans down to place a soft kiss on my lips.
"A kiss in the snow?" I say giggling like a giddy child.
"I wouldn't call this snow darling" he says and with the sound of "darling" leaving his mouth along with his small New Yorker accent slipping out,it melts every part of my body into millions of pieces.
Suddenly I don't feel that cold anymore...
"What do you call this then,silly?" I ask him wiggling my eyebrows teasingly.
I wait in anticipation for whatever comeback he's going to come back with.
Sure enough,he scoops up some snow with his bare hand and tosses it at me.
I narrowly dodge it and I raise my eyebrow at him.
"Are you trying to start a snowball fight mister?" I ask him and he shakes his head.
He feigns surrender until I get closer to him and he shoves snow into my face and I reach down to scoop up some snow also.
I shove him in his face despite his best efforts to fight me off.
His face slowly gets covered in frost like mine just did.
We then start chasing after each other with balls of snow in our hands.
It's insane that we've known each other so long yet I always get so nervous around him like this.
It's almost like we're two bubbly teenagers,when in reality he's 23 years old & I'm 21 years old.
Two 20 twenty somethings,huddled up in the side of the sidewalk whispering sweet nothing's in each other's ears.
People watching us as they walk by,we ignore them by shrugging them off..
We reach Central Park,the main attraction of our whole night.
The reason Mingyu's been holding a nicely woven Picnic Basket in one hand which is holding not only some of our snacks.
It's holding also painting supplies inside it since I've been asking to paint in the park one day...
Despite the chilly,snowy weather we have been having we are here mainly to do just that.
I find a perfect spot for us to sit down and set up shop for the night.
The sun is far gone,only darkness fills the sky.
Along with the beautiful sight of constellations sparkling through the heavens.
It's a magnificent sight to see,well the second magnificent sight to see.
As I watch Mingyu unfold the red and white checkered blanket on the grass,which is luckily visible despite all the frost in the air.
I tremble a little from the air blowing by me,Mingyu glances over at me and without a second thought removes his layered cardigan,he puts it over my outfit before returning back to his work at setting up.
He fought with me the way over here that I wouldn't move a muscle in setting up,so I rather not poke the Mingyu bear by speaking up about helping him.
I smile at him while he then layers the blanket with another blanket but this time more warmer and thicker.
He then puts the basket down and before opening it,grabs another blanket.
Only it's a quilt that is insulated and wraps us both snugly in it,he opens the basket and pulls out all of the contents.
Oil paints,watercolors,bright acrylics...
You name it we have it in the basket.
Paintbrushes of all kinds and finally the two major canvases that weighed the basket down the most.
Two medium,almost large canvases.
As I get ready to paint,I see Mingyu reach in and grab a bottle of red wine.
"Oh babe I can't-"
"It's not for you baby,I know your limits right now given the circumstances..." he says rubbing my small yet forming belly.
He pulls out a bottle of fruit punch and pours it into a wine glass.
I pout watching him hand it over to me.
I secretly wish to taste a sip of the forbidden red essence in his glass,he sees my pouting bottom lip sticking out as I give him puppy eyes.
"Noo the doctor said no alcohol until you're at least 8 months and even then only one glass of wine is recommended.." he says and I sigh.
"Don't worry baby,it'll be over before you know it" he says and I nod silently.
"Listen...I love you okay?" He says seeing my bummed out face as I gulp down the fruit punch.
It's not the overly sweet flavored fruit punch I'm used to drinking,it's one packed with vitamins good for not only me but the baby growing inside me.
He rubs my shoulders and I glance at him before returning back to my canvas.
-after a while-
it's now pitch black with only the light from the park lights,the city buildings and the big movie screen illuminating our area as a family movie plays for the children in the park.
I smile big knowing that'll be our kid soon.
Our kid.
How strange it sounds,I never imagined having a kid right now but here I am pregnant painting in the park with the love of my life on a cold frosty night in Central Park.
Life is weird ain't it?
I notice Mingyu's grown quiet and we're both reaching the end of our painting session.
I splatter some pink paint randomly to give the painting some abstract feel to it and applaud lowly.
"You're done babe?" I ask him and he hums in delight after glancing at mine.
He shows me his which is a painting of a baby girl in a purple blanket held up by a crane who's carrying her across the sky.
"What is the meaning behind this painting?" I ask him.
"I'll explain if you explain yours miss" he asks me and I nod.
"Mine is the colors of you and I...I put Red your favorite color and Pink my favorite color and mixed it side by side together and it marbleized into this!" I say and he smiles at me.
His eyes sparkling as they look into mine.
"Mine is a painting of a dream I had recently,the crane is holding a baby in a purple blanket obviously only the baby...is our baby." He says.
"Babe! You had a conception dream!" I exclaim and he nods quietly.
"It looked like we're having a girl I have no idea though yet" he says and I grab his hands tightly.
"No matter what the outcome is,I'll love this baby no matter what...but the fact you had a dream about our baby means a lot babe" I say tearing up slightly.
"That dream made me realize a lot of things.." he says and I look at him.
"Really like what?" I ask him.
"Like how I don't want us in a apartment in Brooklyn,I want us in a house in Brooklyn somewhere you pick the house and I'll find a way to get it for you and our baby..I want us to be a family.." he says.
"We are a family right now" I say pulling him closer.
"No...I mean. Yumi Amora Jeon you are the literal love of my life,the woman of my dreams and the only woman that lives in my head rent free! Although I'm asking you this belated like everything in my life,oh well...Yumi babe,will you marry me?" He asks me as he gets on one knee and pulls out a box with a ring in it.
At this point the entire crowd in the park is staring at us in awe.
I don't even think too hard about the answer as tears form in my eyes and spill out instantly.
"Yes I will marry you Mingyu" I say and he grabs me tightly.
He puts the ring on my finger and spins me around while the entire crowd cheers for us both.
I grab his face and kiss him passionately..
I can't believe it,I'm going to get married soon to the love of my actual life...
Mr. & Mrs. Choi has a nice ring to it huh?...
