CELEBRATING 150 DAYS WITH BYULWON!

Park Eunbyul warily walked around the establishment, trying to find the person who invited her. Though it wasn't her first time at HYBE, it was her first time alone, and as an introvert who faked it till she made it, the possibility of running into a famous senior terrified her.

As if on cue, her phone rang, making her sigh in relief as she answered the call. "Oppa! Where are you?!" She whisper-yelled, feeling dizzy upon seeing her surroundings. "Why are there so many hallways?"

Yang Jungwon chuckled at her words, nodding even though she couldn't see him. "You are on the first floor, right?" He inquired, getting a hum from the younger. "Okay, I'll come to you. Just stay where you are. Or hide in a corner if you are scared."

"I'm not scared. I'm just overwhelmed about being here with no one else."

"And I'm overjoyed about you being here with no one else."

Eunbyul grumbled under her breath, saying something about getting back at him before ending the call. The female awkwardly stood in the hallway's corner, head lowered as she kept bowing at those who passed by.

"Eunbyul-ssi?" A voice called out to her, causing the female to curse under her breath as she looked up to see who it was.

And lo-and-behold, it was none other than the ex-Music Bank host; Choi Soobin.

"Oh? Sunbaenim, hello," she greeted, bowing politely. "It's nice to meet you."

The tall male smiled. "Likewise. Are you here alone?" He asked, getting a nod from the younger. "Ah, are you meeting ENHYPEN?"

"It's just me today, hyung." Eunbyul heaved a breath upon hearing Jungwon's voice, thanking the deities as he saved her from an awkward situation. "I hope I wasn't too late." He turned towards the female, smiling when she reached out to hold his hand.

Oblivious to the couple right in front of him, Soobin carried on with the conversation, with Eunbyul contributing more as she now had Jungwon by her side. "We loved the comeback this time. Beomgyu is always listening to 'U' because he says the melody makes him happy," he mentioned. "Yeonjun-hyung was so impressed when he found out you produced it."

"Thank you very much. It's an honor." Eunbyul's cheeks burned red at the compliments, bowing. "We are fans of you too, sunbaenim. Hopefully, we can all meet formally and chat a little."

"Eun loves Taehyun-hyung," Jungwon stated, taking the other two by surprise. "It's on her bucket list to meet him. But she thinks she'll faint if she were to meet his eyes."

Eunbyul's mouth hung open in disbelief, not expecting her boyfriend to be as traitorous as her members. Soobin merely found the younger ones amusing, taking the murderous glares from the female as his cue to leave.

"Well, I'm sure we can arrange that next time." He smiled politely. "See you later, Jungwonie. It was nice to meet you, Eunbyul-ssi."

"Bye, hyung!"

"It was nice to meet you too, sunbaenim!"

After the elder went, the couple were left alone in the hallway; one cheekily smiling, while the other looked ready to murder. The red-haired male turned away from his girlfriend, pulling her by the hem of her shirt as he ignored her killer gaze.

"We don't have time to be dilly dallying, jagi," he announced, hoping his nickname for her would lessen the wrath waiting for him. "We have to go to the practice rooms. Let's go!" He pulled the younger with him, expertly guiding her through the endless hallways the company had.

"Dilly-dallying? Where did you even get that word from?" Eunbyul scoffed, looking away so Jungwon couldn't see her reddening cheeks. "Also practice room?! Don't tell me you are going to make me help you practice your choreo like last time," she groaned, the previous experience making her wince.

"Promise it won't be like last time."

"You never keep your promises, oppa."

Upon arriving at the practice room, everything made sense; why Jungwon wanted only Eunbyul to come, why he was so giddily smiling even though there was anything to smile about — and well, it was safe to say Eunbyul was pleasantly surprised.

The pretty blanket on the floor, the beautiful decorations on the walls, the delicious-looking food on plates with cute heart-prints. A picnic? At the end of June? For what? Eunbyul had many questions, going through every possible answer in her head to find the right one.

His birthday? No, we celebrated that. My birthday? No, we celebrated that too. A random date? But he'd tell me if it was one. We didn't win any awards either. What are we celebrating?

Unaware of the facial expressions she was making, Jungwon's smile turned upside-down upon seeing the frown on his girlfriend's face. Girlfriend. Even thinking about the word made him feel giddy. He wondered if he did too much, biting his lip worriedly when Eunbyul turned towards him.

"Oppa, what is–"

"I'm sorry. It's too much, right?" He apologised right away, touching the back of his neck as he sighed. "I didn't want to ask the hyungs because they'd tease me ... but I guess I should've. If you give me five minutes, I can clear this up and we can do whatever you—"

The blue-haired female shook her head, giving an embarrassed smile as she held Jungwon's hands. "No, don't clear it up! It's very pretty and everything ..." she paused, looking between the picnic spread and her boyfriend. "... but what exactly are we celebrating?" Her words sent relief, causing the elder to let out a deep breath.

"Oh, I thought you hated this."

"I could never hate anything you give me. Not when you put in so much effort."

"We couldn't celebrate our 100 days because of our schedules, so I thought why not celebrate 150 days instead?" Jungwon's brows furrowed after he spoke, chuckling in embarrassment. "Okay, that sounded better in my head."

Eunbyul's lips parted upon hearing '100 days', scrunching her face as she cursed under her breath. After living in Korea for years, the female knew about the dating culture — knowing how important couples considered their every 100 days, considering they celebrated it as they did with an anniversary.

"I'm sorry." She pouted, feeling guilty. "I'm sorry. I didn't remember either day. I really am."

Jungwon laughed, shrugging nonchalantly. "It's fine. It's just a silly thing couples in Korea do," he admitted, making Eunbyul smile when he patted her head. "We can just stick to celebrating yearly anniversaries instead."

"No, I like this!" The female shook her head, grinning ear-to-ear. "Even though every day is a special day with you, celebrating it like this makes it even more special!"

Yang Jungwon could only stare with heart-eyes, ears and cheeks turning red. His heart felt warm upon hearing her words, knowing Eunbyul meant every word she said with one look into her eyes.

No wonder people say love is a magical feeling. It truly is.

"Ah, what am I going to do with you?" He thought, patting his girlfriend's head lovingly. "You are one of a kind. And I'm lucky to be with you."

It was Eunbyul's turn to blush, quickly placing a kiss on Jungwon's cheek. "Happy anni—no, wait, is it monthaversary or 150 day-aversary?" She tilted her head in confusion. "Ah, nevermind. Happy whatever-aversary, oppa!"

"Happy whatever-aversary to you too, jagi."
