Seungmin meets me outside the school building, a grin on his face. He holds out his hand, offering it to me. Taking it, we enter the school with our hands intertwined. 

I'm smiling like a fool, and a glance at Seungmin shows him doing the exact same thing. His happiness makes me happy. Seungmin catches me staring at him and his ears turn red.

"What," he says, pinching his lips together to hide his growing smile. Shrugging at him, I laugh and pull him into our first period.

Seungmin follows me to my seat, where he sits next to me, instead of where he usually does. This causes the room to burst into whispers, and Seungmin doesn't help the case when he leans over and kisses my cheek. I turn red almost immediately.

"What is up with that?" I ask suspiciously. He doesn't really like public skinship. At least, that was my understanding. He shrugs at me.

"I have to make sure everyone knows you're mine now." Seungmin gives me a soft smile and pulls out a notebook, readying himself for class. Rolling my eyes, I give him a look.

"Weren't we already dating, to their knowledge?" I ask him. "Well, yeah," Seungmin says slowly. "But I guess this is the first time we've been so public about it." Nodding, we both turn our attention to the front of the class, where the teacher was.

That Afternoon:

Seungmin holds out his hand, smiling like :]. "C'mon," he pleads, giving me his puppy eyes. "Please!" 

I try to avoid eye contact with him, but he keeps getting in my face until I relent. His face lights up as he takes my hand and drags me from school. 

Seungmin had told me he wanted to walk me down the cherry blossom walkway. He said he'd tell me why when we got there.

Seungmin practically pulls me there, an unusual bounce in his step. It's rare to see him so visibly excited about something, and his attitude is making me anticipate whatever we'll do later.

Finally, we reach the beginning of the path and we start walking at a more normal pace. Seungmin's intertwined our fingers and sighs softly, bringing me closer to him.

(if you can't tell, i'm so unbelievably soft for hand holding. idk what it is, but it's my all time favorite thing so that's why they hold hands so much lol)

After a few moments of comfortable silence, Seungmin starts talking.

"Do you know how my parents met?" he asks, a small smile playing on his lips. I shake my head, silently inviting him to continue. 

"They met here," he says, gesturing with his free hand. "My mom was coming home from the library late, and my dad was on his way to the library. You don't know my dad, but he's pretty forgetful, and he realized halfway to the library that he forget his bag, with his books and stuff. So, he starts freaking out because he doesn't want to go all the way back to his house." Seungmin chuckles and looks up at the blossoms, his eyes crinkling.

"My mom noticed how upset he was, and offered to let him use her books to study. They didn't go to the same high school, but the schools had the same classes, so they used the same books. They started dating after that, and got married after they graduated college." Seungmin sighs and stops walking, turning to look at me.

He brings a hand up to my face and brushes some hair away from my forehead. I smile at him and he returns it, resting his hand on my cheek.

"I love that story. It's ordinary and completely average, and to anyone else, that story has no importance. But to me, it's the story of how my parents fell in love. I always wanted to bring the person I love here, even when I was younger. A way of reenacting my parents' love story." Seungmin blushes a little and laughs nervously.

"I want my love story to be like that. Ordinary and completely average to everyone else, but extraordinary to us." Seungmin leans in and kisses my forehead lightly. 

Taking a deep breath, I stand up on the tips of toes and manage to brush his lips with mine. Pulling away, I bite my lip and watch his reaction. 

Seungmin smiles so hard that his eyes disappear and his laugh rings out clearly. Looking at me, he scrunches his nose and leans down to kiss me again, this time more firmly. We both smile into the kiss; I never want this to end. Ever.

Seungmin pulls me into a quick hug before grabbing my hand and starting to walk again. He's still got that extra spring in his step, and he looks over at me every so often, giggling. He's adorable, I think to myself.

"Minnie," I say, shocking both me and Seungmin. He smiles gently at the nickname before nodding at me to continue. "I want to make your love story extraordinary."

Seungmin looks at me, eyes wide. His face is unreadable. My heart starts racing; did I say something wrong?

Before I can comprehend it, Seungmin engulfs me in the tightest hug, almost lifting me off of the ground. 

"Please do," he whispers against my neck, placing a light kiss there. "Please be the main character of my love story."
