I told Suyeon to wear something fancy as I told her there'll be a special occasion today.

3rd person's pov
The members, excluding Jay, arrived at Suyeon's (new) house. They all wore black suits.
Jake knocked on the door and it revealed Suyeon who was wearing a dark emerald green dress, paired with some green shoes and a purse.
[Not my pictures, for reference]
"O?! Why are you guys here?"
Suyeon asked.
"Come with us"
Jungwon said.
"Hurry, we don't have much time"
Sunoo rushed Suyeon.
Suyeon was confused but followed them downstairs to an eight-seater van. Heeseung got into the driver's seat.
Are they tryna kidnap me? She thought to herself.
"Where's Jay?"
Suyeon asked Sunoo who was beside her.
"You'll know soon. Sit back, this is gonna be a long ride"
Sunoo replied with a poker face.
The van was dead silent, giving her an unsettling form of peace, but she leaned back on her seat and just closed her eyes.

Suyeons pov
I fluttered my eyes open to see that we were in the middle of a road surrounded by familiar trees and crops.
Why do I recognise this place?
The van turned and we stopped at a beach.
Wait, is this where I think it is?
"Let's go, everyone out of the van"
Heeseung announced.
Everyone got to their feet and hopped out of the van, including me.
"Suyeon, follow me"
Sunghoon told me with a polite smile and I followed.
We walked towards the shore and I saw the vacation house that we went to a few years ago.
The memories are flooding back to me.
Further away from the vacation house, I saw a circle on the sand made out of rose petals with a few candles around it and a speaker on the sand.
Jay was standing in the middle of the circle.
Sunghoon eventually led me to the circle and I mumbled a thank you to him before he walked away.
Jay was also wearing a suit and his hair was slicked back. He was gazing up into the sky which made me look up too.
It was full of stars, twinkling brightly.
I stepped into the circle and stood beside him.
"The stars are beautiful, aren't they?"
I asked, still admiring the stars.
"Very beautiful. But not as beautiful as you, honey"
He chuckled and I smiled.
"I see you've worn the dress that I've bought you. You look exactly how you did the first time you tried it on"
He complimented.
"Thank you, love. But why was I brought here? What's with all the petals?"
I was burning with curiosity.
"Do you remember what happened to us here?"
Jay pulled my arm to stand in front of him and slithered his hands around my waist.
"What?"
-Me
"We had our first kiss"
I felt his breath fanning against my neck.
I felt myself turning red. That was one of the best memories I had.
"Right..heh"
I replied.
"You were looking up at the stars that night too and I remember how flustered you were after I kissed you"
He laughed and I elbowed him in the chest.
"Yah! I was just taken aback, you know"
I tried to deny him.
He put his chin on my shoulder.
"I didn't know I had fallen in love with you through all the time we spent together, until that night"
"And I was so happy when you accepted my confession, I was practically over the moon"
"You were the one who made me realise that the meaning of my name is actually quite beautiful, and I'm so grateful"
-Jay
"You know you can just say you love me right?"
I looked at him and he pursed his lips.
He turned me around and hugged me tightly.
"Yes, I love you. I love you so much"
He said.
He let go and his eyes were glistening brightly, exactly the same as the last time we were here. If not, even brighter.
"So why bring me all the way here?"
I held his two hands, swinging them.
"When we first met, we played 20 questions, right?"
He asked, raising his brows.
I nodded my head.
"But do you remember? We still had one last question left"
-Jay
My brows knitted together. We had one last question?
A song started playing from the speaker. It was Betelgeuse from Yuuri, his favourite artist.
He let go of my hands and went beside me, so I faced him.
He took out a small box from his pocket and kneeled down on one knee.
He opened the box, revealing a ring with two diamonds, carved out in the shape of stars.
[Not my picture, for reference]
Is this real?
I'm not dreaming right?
This.
This is happening?
"Will you be with me eternally, Choi Suyeon?"
Jay stared into my eyes with a gentle smile.
I cupped my mouth with my hands as my eyes were brimming with tears of happiness.
I nodded vigorously.
Jay stood up immediately and grabbed me by the waist, twirling me up in the air.
He put me down and he showed me a tender smile that made my heart melt instantly.
He took my hand and slid the ring onto my finger. It was so pretty.
"Love isn't enough of a word to describe my feelings for you, Choi Suyeon"
He caressed my cheeks with his thumbs, wiping away my tears.
I tiptoed and laid my lips on his. He kissed me back and I was out of this universe.
~ 記憶を辿るたび 蘇るよ
君がいつだってそこに居てくれること
まるでそれは星の光と 同じように
今日に泣いたり笑ったり繋いでいく~
This was my favourite part of the song.
I heard a camera shutter and my eyes detected a flash as they were still closed.
Jay broke the kiss and we both smiled at each other.
I turned to see Jay's friends standing outside the circle. In the middle was Jake holding a polaroid camera and they were all focused on the photo being printed.
Jake took it out and fanned it a little bit. He then showed it to the two of us.
"It's like a polaroid love. 사랑 촌스런 그 감정"
Jake started singing as the song Betelgeuse ended.
"근데 내 가슴이 뛰어. 왜 나 이래 나?"
The rest joined in.
Jay and I laughed watching the cringy scene.

Jay's pov
I'm absolutely ecstatic. Everything went according to plan and I'm glad these 6 boys could witness my proposal.
"You're a real man now, Jay"
Sunghoon put an arm around my shoulder.
"I don't believe this uncle is getting married before me"
Heeseung rolled his eyes sarcastically.
"Congratulations, hyung! Wooo"
Jungwon clapped his hands.
"We're invited to the wedding, right? I want free food"
Niki looked at me with a grin.
"Obviously. And you three, bring along your girls"
I pointed to Heeseung, Jake and Jungwon.
They nodded.
"They're gonna be my bridesmaids?"
Suyeon made and 'O' with her mouth.
I hummed as a response and she thanked me.
"I predicted your marriage even before you guys even started dating, you know"
Sunoo told Suyeon.
"You're a psychic huh?"
Suyeon giggled and so did Sunoo.
"Okay, thank you for everything tonight. All of you. I'll treat you guys to dinner soon"
I said.
Everyone cheered.
We went to the same vacation house as last time as I rented it out for tonight. We settled in for the night and I took a room with Suyeon.
"Good night, honey. I hope you were happy today"
I smiled.
"Thank you so much, love. It couldn't have been more perfect. I love you"
She cuddled closer to me.
I patted her back until we both drifted off to sleep.
The last question has been asked, and now I'll love her for eternity.
Even if my lungs give out, death will never do us apart because my love for her is unbreakable.

~Every time I trace my memory, it will revive
that you will always be there
just like it's starlight
Crying, laughing, and connecting to today~
I hope you liked the proposal idea.
