epilogue

4:57 pm

"uh-huh. yeah."

you approached seungmin, who was on the phone by the bench.

"look, i don't know how else to put it. we've all stated our cases and if you won't make a change, that's on you."

he looked concentrated and dedicated.

"alright."

he looked at you with a reassuring smile.

seungmin nodded as the person on the phone spoke.

the corners of his lips turned upward, giving him a look of satisfaction on his countenance.

"thank you so much. have a nice day."

he hung up, turning to you.

"is that good news?"

you fiddled with the zipper on your jacket, locking eye contact.

"the best news."

he pulled you into a tight, yet languid embrace.

his arms held you firmly as his chin rested on your shoulder.

you closed your eyes, listening to his soft breaths.

"how'd you manage to convince them?"

you spoke softly, not wanting to cause him to pull away.

"it was risky to even say out loud."

he didn't answer the question.

"all of us came together to talk to the staff of jype, i'll say that."

seungmin pulled away, but still remained in your arms.

you got lost in his eyes with only a gaze of love.

love.

you've never used said word when it came to seungmin yet.

your eyes wandered down to his lips, then darted back upward.

seungmin let out a small laugh and closed his eyes.

you followed, tilting your head.

just as you swore your lips were going to meet, seungmin placed his hand right in front of your lips.

"hey!"

your eyes shot open.

"what exactly have you done to meet up with me again, huh, n/n?"

he pulled back, looking at you with a joshing expression.

"excuse you?"

you scoffed, about ready to chew him out.

"i—"

seungmin cut you off by grabbing the collar of your jacket and pulling you toward him again.

your lips met instantly, catching you off guard.
