Ryojin pulled Landon's hand, dragging the young man towards the gigantic Christmas Tree which made him originally come to America.

"Why are we here? I thought we were going to the mall." Landon frowned with a smile, even though he was cold, he really enjoyed the snow.

"I want to do something first." Ryojin replied, leaning forward and kissing the 22-year-old's reddened nose.

Landon blushed softly, shaking his head and looking down at the ground, He is amazing, I love him.

"Cookie," Ryojin called to the blond, holding out a red circular ornament for the blond to grab, "I want to ask you something."

"What is it?" Landon asked, his smiling faltering slightly after noticing how serious Ryojin was.

Ryojin grabbed the hand Landon had the ornament in and turned it over to the bottom so Landon could see it.

Its an ornament to put on the tree, Landon spun the red ball around which showed black writing on the bottom of it. What does it say...

'나랑 결혼해줄래?' the ball said, decorated in black glitter.
While Landon was busy translating the words into romanticised and then into English, Ryojin got down on one knee.

Will...you...marry me? Landon's heart paused for a second, and then he looked down and saw Ryojin holding a box with a ring out for him.

"Cookie," Ryojin started, he wasn't too sure what to do but figured he'd seen enough Western romantic movies to improvise*, "we've been together for 3 years, if we don't count the time you were gone; we've loved each other for 5 years..."

Landon put his hand over his mouth and tears stung his eyes as nearby people stood around to watch and eventually celebrate.

"I know you don't always think you'll be good for us but Daehyun loves you, and so do I. So will you marry me, Landon Laurier?"

Everyone's watching...Landon grabbed Ryojin's shoulders and pulled him back onto his feet before hugging the brunet as tight as he could.

All the watchers surrounding took that as his answer and began clapping, saying 'congrats!' and 'good luck!'

Landon held Ryojin's nape, burying his head in Ryojin's shoulder, "I...I'm sorry, I can't."

Ryojin's smile dropped.

"No because what the hell is up with that?" Landon asked, pacing the kitchen and living room as he cleaned up the breakfast dishes.

Ace sighed, "It's not that surprising Lanka, you've been together for years it's expected for marriage eventually. Especially when you promised to be together forever." he explained casually.

Unfortunately for Ace, he was both Landon and Ryojin's friend so he had to be neutral in the situation.

"Yeah but, he just out of nowhere proposes and then gets mad at me when I say no? I'm 22!" Landon groaned in exasperation before collapsing onto the couch beside Ace.

Ace stood up and looked down at Landon, "Stop it. No one is gonna go easy on you, you're not a kid. At 22, I was finishing college while maintaining a marriage with two people across the globe, and raising you."
