Sunhi's Pov
When Namjoon left the both of us to ask for Aya's forgiveness, Seokjin and I wandered around the small garden. The truth is, I'm still in the state of shock after witnessing them quarrel because it's my first time to see them in that state. I think Seokjin noticed that because I was startled when he held my wrist to stop me from walking. I glance at his hand around my wrist and to his face, where concern is seen.
"You're worried about them, aren't you?" He calmly asked before letting go.
I let out a sigh, as I sat on the green grass that is surrounded by small flowers, and watch him sit beside me.
"You know what?" He suddenly opened up, taking all of my attention to listen to him.
He picked a small flower and stared at it for a while.
"Namjoon never shouted at Aya before. They never shouted at each other. Only now." He chuckled while he starts to twist the stem of the flower.
"Really? But why?"
"It's because of a promise..."
"A promise?" I confusedly asked and he nodded.
"Namjoon promised to himself, that he will never shout at her, ever, again. There was this one incident during the middle of 11th grade. Valentine's to be exact. Of course, during that occasion, men would buy their lady a bunch of different gifts to show affection or to confess their feelings, and that's what Namjoon did..."
- FLASHBACK -
DURING 11TH GRADE
Namjoon's Pov
I don't really know what's her favourite flower but I hope stargazers are fine with her. I purposely went to school early to place my gifts on her desk before she comes. I'm so nervous because it's my first time to do this to a girl. Few minutes later, she arrived with Jimin and she immediately noticed the bouquet and chocolates on her desk.
"Wow, Aya! Looks like you have a secret admirer, huh?" Jimin teased while poking her waist.
I secretly glance at her to see her reaction and I'm glad to see that she's smiling.
"Don't be silly, I think someone left these here by accident." She replied while looking around.
"Hey, are you telling me that you're not worthy to receive these gifts?" Jimin asked.
"It's not that, it's just, I'm sure these aren't for me. Wait, I'll ask our classmates."
It's clearly seen that I placed those on her desk, yet she thinks that it's not for her. I suddenly felt pissed while hearing her ask our classmates if they mistakenly put those on her desk, so I stood up and went to her. I tapped her back and she faced me with a smile.
"Oh, Namjoon. How many I help you?"
"Could you please stop asking them about those flowers and chocolates?" I irritably said, making her confused.
"Huh? What do you mean? Do you know who owns these?-"
"It's for you!" I unconsciously exclaimed. "All of those flowers and chocolates are for you, Aya! No one mistakenly placed those because I was the one who put that on your desk. Can't you see? I like you, okay?!" I continued, making our classmates look at us.
"S-sorry... I d-didn't know..." She replied in a frail voice.
I felt guilty for shouting at her but I just realised that I accidentally confessed my feelings for her. I was aback when I saw a tear escape her eyes, as she bows to me, and immediately left the room.

Aya's Pov
I was surprised to hear Namjoon's sudden confession to me, making me feel confused and uncertain. I don't know where to go but my feet brought me to our school's playground. I checked the time and there's still an hour and a half before our class starts, so I sat on the swing and stared at the flowers and chocolates that I'm holding.
"He bought all of these for me? That's so kind, I guess?"
I've never received any gifts from a guy before, that's why I didn't know how to react when he confessed everything. I smell the flowers and they're so fragrant, especially Lilium Stargazers are known for their wonderful scent, plus they're my favourite flower. I was busy touching the flowers when Namjoon suddenly showed in front of me, causing me to lower my head and hide my face while I stand up.
"I'm sorry for shouting at you, Aya, I didn't mean to make you cry." He feebly said.
"I-It's okay." I said and bowed to him before I walk away.
"Aya, wait!"
It made me stop, as I wait for him to go in front of me. I feel so uneasy with him after that confession, and building a conversation with him is harder for me now.
"I just want you to know that... I meant what I said, that I like you."
"Uhm... Okay, thank you." I was about to leave but he grasp my hand.
"C-Can I ask something?" He asked without looking at me.
"What is it?"
"Is there a chance that... y-you like me too?" He stuttered as I notice how red his face is.
I don't know how to answer his question but one thing is for sure.
"Of course, Namjoon." I whispered, "Thank you for the gift." I then pecked his cheek before leaving him dumbfounded.
- END OF FLASHBACK -
"He's, uh, somewhat... Aggressive? I must say." I uttered, full of uncertainty, minding that it might offend Seokjin but I was relieved when he laughed.
"Yeah, he really was. Maybe because of his strong emotions? But Namjoon felt so guilty, especially, when he saw how he made the love of his life, Aya, tear up after shouting at her. It strucked him that he just hurted her precious delicate heart with what he did. And that he accidentally, well, unintentionally, confessed his feelings for her in a way he couldn't even imagine he would do. After that incident, he promised to himself that, no matter what happens, he will never shout at her again. He doesn't want to see her in pain, because it kills him with the sight of his precious Aya being hurt. Another reason why he's very protective and caring towards her. Just like when we played pillow fight, he would rather let himself get hurt than to let Aya feel a tiny bit of pain."
It made me cooe with awe after hearing more about their love story. Not to envy, but I wish to have a love like that. After a while of sitting, I saw a little dandelion falling on my hand so I captured it with my palm. I remember, when you see a dandelion floating around the air, you should catch it and make a wish before blowing it away. I closed my eyes and made a simple wish, to find the man who will love me wholeheartedly, and blew it away. Childish, yes, but there's no harm on trying. But my attention was taken when I heard a cough from Seokjin.
"Sorry, but, am I being too talkative?" He shyly asked while rubbing his nape.
"Nope, not at all. I actually like your company. I never felt bored and alone while watching the two, and that's because of you." I unconsciously confessed and faced him.
I saw a smile beaming on his lips so I smiled back and removed my gaze on him. I let out a few sigh and took this moment of silence as a sign for me to speak.
"I've never felt this comfortable with a guy before, maybe, because I'm always with Aya. To be honest, she didn't even persuade me.to stay with you nor to talk to you, like what she would usually do. It naturally came out from you, the comfort and sincerity, that caused for the awkward feeling of being surrounded by someone new to fade in me."
"I'm happy to hear that, Sunhi. To hear that you found comfort in me, just like how I found mine in yours." He sincerely said that made me face him with surprise. "You know, Sunhi, I'm not blind. I always see you around the campus with Aya. You're an accounting student from the neighbouring course of mine, which is Finance and you're one of the best students together with Aya."
"H-How did you-"
"I knew that because of Aya. Being their escort for the past years of their relationship, is like getting to know you as well. She never missed the chance to talk about you whenever Namjoon leaves the two of us for a while. She would boast out to me on how her bestfriend, which is you, is so intelligent, sweet, caring, and beautiful. I guess, she's really being honest because you are really what she described. You're, indeed, beautiful, Sunhi. I mean it."
I don't really know what to reply from his sudden confession, if you may call it one, so I just remained silent. If that dandelion myth is true, then I'm happy. If, only if, this is the consequences of my wish.
"I like you, Sunhi. I know, it is so hard to believe, because we've known each other for like mere hours, but it's true. For being fed up with a lot of updates about you from Aya for almost three years, is like I'm unconsciously building a foundation of my feelings for you. Admiring you from afar, to be exact, is what I always do for two years already." He laughed, so sincere and confident with what he truly feels, and I can't help but to smile.
"I like you too, Seokjin. A lot. And knowing that we feel the same way seems to be so unrealistic. Like everything is just a dream. Hearing your confession is like a whisper of an angel to me, it feels so amazing."
"You don't know how happy I am right now after hearing that you like me too, Sunhi. I've never felt this way before... Maybe this is how Namjoon felt when Aya handed his handkerchief."
We both laughed at the thought of it, then we became silent for a while. I am silently thanking the dandelion for granting my wish, but I'm more grateful that Aya took me with them. If not because of her, I will never have the chance to have this moment with Seokjin. I was startled when he hovered his hand over mine and held it gently, that caused me to face him.
"Sunhi?"
"Hmm?"
"Will you allow me to court you?" He hopefully asked with a bit of worry in his voice.
"Of course, Seokjin." I replied with a smile.
"R-Really?"
"Uh-huh, really." I chuckled while nodding my head.
He sighed in relief and pulled me for a hug. A hug that is so warm and securing. I let my hands wrap around him and we stayed like this for a few minutes before deciding to let go.
"Let's go back? I'm sure, the two are already waiting for us now." He suggested and I nod.
He stood up and lend me his hand, it's so soft and gentle. He intertwined our fingers and let it stay that way until we reached the shed, only to see the two, feeding each other the cotton candy that Namjoon bought a while ago. All I could feel is the happiness of seeing the two happy again with each other. They stopped when they saw us coming closer and immediately noticed our hands that were holding together.
"Oohhh, I smell something fishy! It looks like someone caught a beautiful mermaid while sailing along the ocean." Aya teased while nudging Namjoon's tummy.
"She's, indeed, a beautiful mermaid who captivated my heart." Seokjin complimented that made me smile bashfully but I suddenly thought of something.
"Well... It looks like the beast has tamed his beauty, huh?" I teased and received a grin on Namjoon's face.
"More than tamed, actually." Namjoon replied, as he hug Aya from the back, and suddenly flaunted Aya's left hand showing a...
"WHAT THE?!" Seokjin and I both exclaimed in surprise.
A beautiful silver ring with a red gem is shining on Aya's ring finger. I look at her and saw her blush at the thought of the meaning behind that ring.
"You proposed?!" Seokjin asked, all surprised, but with joy in his voice.
"And she said 'YES'!" Namjoon cheerfully answered while squishing her gently in his arms.
"Aya?" I called, asking for her response about the commotions.
"I'm engaged." She timidly giggled with a bashful smile on her red face.
Now, she's not just Namjoon's girlfriend, but his Fiancée, and he's not just Aya's boyfriend, but her Fiancé. And soon, they'll be known as husband and wife, which means...
"Oh my goodness, Aya, I'd be delighted to be the godmother!" I voluntarily offered while jumping out of excitement.
"W-What? G-Godmother?" She uttered in surprise, wide eyes.
"Sure, Sunhi! You and Seokjin will be their godparents." Namjoon said in delight.
"W-Wait, guys... I-I'm not even pregnant."
"We know, I'm just stating possibilities." I teased again.
How blissful this day is to me, the two are engaged while we are dating, courting, I mean. I can't wait to see what kind of future awaits ahead of us.
The End
