Taking a small breath, Jungwon shoved his phone into the pocket of his sweatpants, standing up from his bedroom floor and wandering outside of it, heading downstairs as he followed the sound of Eunhee's and his mother's voice.

Once he got downstairs, his eyes widened in surprise, a dusty pink color spreading across his cheeks at the sight of his own mother embarrassing him by showing Eunhee a photo album of all of his childhood photos.

Noticing his presence, Eunhee looked up and bit back a smile, eyes flickering between the photos and him, making him even more embarrassed.

Walking over to them, Jungwon held his hand out for the girl to take. "Mom, we'll be right back." He spoke, earning a small nod from the middle-aged woman who let out a sigh in content as she closed the photo album.

"Eunhee, if you want to look at more, feel free to help yourself. I don't mind." Mrs. Yang smiled gently at the girl, who was currently being hoisted up from the couch by Jungwon after she had taken his hand.

"Oh, please don't." Jungwon muttered under his breath, earning a snicker from Eunhee who had heard it.

"Alright. Thank you." Eunhee smiled, bowing slightly towards the woman out of respect. Mrs. Yang returned the smile, before watching the two teens wander off as Jungwon tugged the girl along with him.

He slid the sliding glass door open, stepping outside onto his back porch deck and closing it behind them both.

"Woah, it looks so pretty out here." Eunhee complimented, looking at the fairy lights hung on a whole section of fence panels behind a bench-swing.

Jungwon let out a small hum, pulling her towards the bench swing as they both sat on it, gently rocking back and forth.

"Yeah. My sister was the one who actually decorated out here.. with my Mom's help, of course. They said they wanted it to feel more comfortable outside." Jungwon spoke.

"They have good taste in decorations, then."

"My sister would be happy to hear someone say that.. I used to make fun of her room decorations when we both were younger." He admitted, laughing at the old memory.

Eunhee gasped, lightly hitting his arm. "Wow, Yang Jungwon.. that's so mean."

"She used to make fun of me for having power rangers posters up in my room.. she had it coming!" He quickly defended himself.

The girl simply shook her head, a cheeky smile on her face. "Ahh, having a sibling seems fun."

"It is.. minus the part where we constantly annoy each other." He sighed out, leaning his head back.

"I mean.. I have cousins, but I feel like we weren't that close. It felt like they were more like school friends, since they were all older than me." Eunhee pressed her lips together in a thin line.

"But, anyways.. you used to be so cute when you were younger." She changed the subject, watching as he raised a brow.

"What? So I'm not cute now?"

"Hey.. that's not what I meant!--" Eunhee frowned, scrunching her nose up in frustration.

"Alright, alright, I was just teasing you." Jungwon chuckled, raising his hand as he pinched her cheek lightly.

Eunhee snickered, rolling her eyes playfully. The girl then proceeded to shuffle closer to him, laying her head on his shoulder.

"Why are we out here, by the way?" She questioned, as Jungwon paused.

"I thought we could use a breath of fresh air. We were working for so long." He replied, letting out a breathy laugh.

Eunhee chuckled, humming in agreement.

"..also, I kinda need to ask you something. I mean, maybe not need to.. I want to.. maybe, it's both. I don't know." He rambled, looking down at his hands.

Eunhee furrowed her brows slightly, sitting up straight and looking at him. "What is it?"

Jungwon paused, hesitant to speak. He was starting to second-guess all of his choices. Perhaps it wasn't the right time to ask. Or, maybe it was his gut telling him she was going to reject him.

The boy turned his head, meeting his gaze as she stared at him with eyes filled with curiosity, head tilted slightly.

Letting out a small sigh, Jungwon began to speak. "Eunhee, I've been thinking a lot recently, and I was wondering if you'd maybe want to go to prom with me? As.. you know, a date."

The girl's eyes widened in surprise, cheeks flushing a bright pink as she leaned back. "Wait, really? You're being serious? This isn't some kind of joke, right?"

Jungwon's heart sank at her words. She didn't take him seriously.. ouch. Slowly, he nodded his head, plastering a small smile onto his lips.

"Woah.. Yang Jungwon, of course I'll go with you. This is crazy.. I didn't think anyone would ever ask me." She muttered to herself, not noticing how his face lit up, heart beginning to race.

"Wait, really? You'll go?" He asked in shock, earning a confused look from the girl, who nodded shyly.

"Why would I pass up the opportunity to go to prom with the Yang Jungwon?" She raised a brow, smiling brightly as she noticed his cheeks flush red.

"Ayy.. you're all red." She teased, pinching his cheek with a small pout.

Jungwon huffed, pulling her hand away from his cheek and holding it tightly in his own. The boy leaned closer to her face, watching her grow flustered as she turned away.

"You act as if you aren't, too." He mumbled, smirking to himself as he suddenly stood up from the bench.

"We should probably head inside. It's getting cold out here, right?" He spoke, beginning to walk back inside, leaving the girl flabbergasted on the bench.

Once her brain had processed everything, she jumped up from her seat and chased after him. "Hey, Yang Jungwon!" She called out, his laughter filling her ears as she neared his frame.
