We finish eating about an hour later. This doesn’t conclude our date though. San takes me by the Han River for a lovely walk by the river. It’s night time now, but there are plenty of street lamps to light the way. We take the taxi to the Han River and are dropped off there. San takes my hand and we begin walking down the sidewalk along the river. This place is really beautiful, it’s one of my favorite places in Seoul. I’m not really one for the bustling city, so it’s good to get away from it all once in a while. We reach the end of the sidewalk, and to end our wonderful date, we kiss. We pull away from each other and San pops open a box with a promise ring in it. He’s wearing the matching ring.
“Shelly, please take this ring to promise we get married soon. After all the crazy schedule with ATEEZ has settled, we are to get married. Will you take this ring and promise me this?” San asked. Here is the matching ring set:

“Yes, San. I promise.” I said. San slides the ring on my finger. I kiss him one last time before we hail a cab back to KQ Entertainment. I really love the blue in these rings. San is wearing the thinner ring. I am wearing the ring with the blue sapphire.

We arrived back at KQ Entertainment and called for a group meeting. San would like to make this announcement as soon as possible. We all meet in the dance practice room, sitting in a line. San and I are standing in front of the members. There is a tension in the air. San stands there with a cheesy smile on his face. Then, he announces it,
“Everyone, we are wearing promise rings. We promise to get married soon.”
“Yes, that’s right. After your schedule leaves time, we will get engaged, then married hmm, let’s see, in a year or so.” I said.
“Woah, congratulations man!” Mingi exclaimed.
“Thank you.” San said, hugging Mingi.
“I’m happy for you.” Hongjoong said.
“Do we get an invite?” Wooyoung asked.
“Of course.” I said.
“Ooh, yay.” Yeosang said.
“I can’t wait.” Yunho said.

Now that the members have found out about our future plans together, they want to celebrate it. The other members; Hongjoong, Mingi, Yeosang, Yunho, Seonghwa, Wooyoung, and Jongho, threw a little party for San and I. It was such a nice thing for them to do, I really appreciate it. I have not only become an important part of their lives, but extremely important to San. It’s like our meeting was written in the stars. I couldn’t have come to South Korea and have such luck like I have right now. I just came here for a job and immediately got promoted, starting working with ATEEZ, and the rest is history. I couldn’t be happier at this moment than I am right now. I can’t wait to go on more adventures with San in the future. Our future together looks so bright. There is nothing stopping us now.

*One Year Later*
Finally, the ATEEZ schedule has allotted San and I time to get engaged and plan our wedding. Here is how San proposed to me: San really wanted to teach me more ATEEZ choreography. Since I loved their song, Answer so much, he decided to teach that to me. We were dancing through the choreography and right when I nailed it, San gave me a high five, did a cool spin, and was on one knee, presenting a beautiful diamond ring. The ring looks like this:

It is absolutely beautiful, and I couldn’t say no to such a ring, “Yes, San!”“Yay, I’m so happy!” San exclaimed, then kissed me passionately

It is absolutely beautiful, and I couldn’t say no to such a ring, “Yes, San!”
“Yay, I’m so happy!” San exclaimed, then kissed me passionately.
“Oh my God, we’re getting married!” I exclaimed.
“Keep this ring, I want you to use it for your wedding ring too.” San said.
“Ah, smart.” I said.
“Yes, I spent ₩3,323,866.32($2,726) on that ring, and it would be wise to reuse it.” San said.
“Nearly $3,000?! Wow, San.” I said, my mouth agape.
“All for my special girl.” San said, smiling cutely.
“Pfft, you didn’t have to spend so much, geez.” I said, pushing on his arm playfully.
“Only for you.” San said.
“Okay, I get it.” I said

Now that we’re engaged, we would want to tell the rest of the members, and the ATEEZ staff. I’m sure they’re excited to find out. San proposing in that way, after teaching me choreography is such a unique way of proposing. Ah, I love it. I couldn’t stop staring down at my ring. San rubs my head as if I were a child, then calls his members in for a group and staff meeting. We gather in a conference room, San stands at one end of the table. His entire staff is there, including my section of the company: marketing & PR. Oh, the press is going to love this story. He announces our engagement, my team taking down notes as he tells the whole story. Of course, everyone was shocked except the members themselves. They were waiting for the day that San would propose to me. After telling his staff and his members, San takes a seat. The ATEEZ manager then stands in front of everyone to discuss how we should put this announcement out to the public. My team is already on it, preparing the announcement on the official social media accounts. San is busy writing a personal letter to ATINY. He finishes writing the letter, signing his name at the bottom. I snap a photo of it, and we will use that photo to post on the ATEEZ official social media.

With one click of the: Tweet and Post buttons, the engagement announcement is now public on the official ATEEZ social media accounts. San used our ship hashtag along with his own hashtag in Korean of his name, and my name in Korean. He also hashtagged: engaged, both in English and Korean. Instantly, people began retweeting, reposting, and giving all the love to San and I. ATINY is waiting for those beautiful, professional wedding photos, along with many messages of love and support. This is why I love this fandom so much. They support the boys with unconditional love no matter what. They are especially happy for San, and for the journey we are about to embark on. I can’t wait for this journey either. I know we’re going to have so much fun. San is getting close to enlistment age, so I see why San wanted to get this done first. San is 26 now, and he has to enlist in two years, so that’s why he wants to get married soon.
