Note: Missing the couple too much, and this prompt came to mind when I saw the latest photo from Queen of Tears - the side view of handsome Kim Soo Hyun, with a ring on his finger. Just couldn't resist writing something that is in my HyunJi mind and heart. My delulu mind hopes and prays for this to happen! <3 Once again, this is a HyunJi fanfic. If you're not comfortable with it, please look away. Or else, enjoy ◡̈
Kim Soo Hyun, immersed in the world of "Queen of Tears," found himself living a dual life—one as a charismatic, married legal director of Queens Group caught in the intricate web of drama, and the other as a man deeply in love with his girlfriend, Seo Yea Ji.
The fans, ardent in their admiration, lauded the visual appeal that the ring added to Soo Hyun's charismatic portrayal. They created forums and threads, discussing how the silver band adorned his hand, becoming an extension of his on-screen persona. Little did they know that behind the scenes, the actor had developed a peculiar fondness for the ring, finding comfort in its constant presence. It became a symbolic accessory, not just for his character, but also for the actor himself. Soo Hyun grew accustomed to the weight on his finger, finding a strange comfort in its presence.
As the filming days rolled on, Soo Hyun's immersion into the character and the gripping storyline became more profound. Yet, amidst the hectic filming schedule, Soo Hyun yearned for the presence of someone who meant more to him than any role he played—the love of his life, Seo Yea Ji.
In the few stolen moments between takes, Soo Hyun would glance at the ring on his finger, contemplating a plan that had been brewing in his mind. The desire to ask Yea Ji for her hand in marriage had grown stronger with each passing day. The ring, initially just a prop, seemed to have taken on a life of its own, whispering promises of a future beyond the scripts and cameras.
Finally, the day arrived when their busy lives permitted a precious escape. He carefully orchestrated a surprise for Yea Ji, ensuring that their time together would be as memorable as the characters they portrayed on screen. The location he chose was the secret place he had found—a haven of peace amidst the urban chaos, where both of them could enjoy the soft hues of the setting sun at the tranquil Han River away from the city's hustle and bustle. The riverbanks echoed with the gentle lull of water, creating a serene backdrop for the unfolding romantic moment.
A light breeze rustled through the leaves of nearby trees, creating a whispered melody that accompanied their steps. Soo Hyun's eyes glinted with a mix of nerves and excitement as he guided Yea Ji to a spot where a blanket lay spread out, adorned with flickering candles in delicate glass holders. Soo Hyun couldn't contain the anticipation bubbling within him. He looked at Yea Ji, her eyes reflecting the same love that fueled his every move.The cityscape sparkled in the distance, a symphony of lights painting the horizon as the sun dipped lower. Soo Hyun motioned for Yea Ji to sit, and as they settled onto the soft blanket, he couldn't help but steal a glance at the ring on his finger—the symbol that had become intertwined with both his on-screen character and, now, his real-life emotions.
Seated across from each other, Soo Hyun couldn't contain his anticipation. He toyed with the ring, a subtle smile playing on his lips. "Yea Ji," he began, his voice a gentle melody in the night air, "you know this ring?" He gestured to the silver band on his finger.
A playful smile curved Yea Ji's lips and she raised an eyebrow, "Ah, the famous ring that fans can't stop talking about. You do look good with it on."
"What's got you so intrigued by that ring?" she inquired, a teasing smile forming on her lips.Soo Hyun chuckled, his gaze softening. " Well, you see, it's become a part of me during this show. Fans seem to love it too. Do you think it suits me?"
Yea Ji studied him for a moment before bursting into laughter. "You do look good with it, but I never thought I'd see the day when you'd become attached to a piece of jewelry."Soo Hyun joined in her laughter, the sound of their joy echoing in the serene surroundings. Seizing the moment, he chuckled nervously and took a deep breath. "I've grown quite attached to it, you know. But, there's something I want to share with you." The sounds of the Han River faded into the background.
"This ring," he began, holding it up for her to see, "it's become more than just a prop to me. It's a reminder of the stories we tell, the characters we become. And, well," he paused, a nervous excitement in his voice, his gaze locking with hers, "I was thinking if you'd let me make it a permanent part of my life and our story too. Seo Yea Ji, will you marry me? "
The air seemed to hold its breath as Yea Ji processed his words. A soft gasp escaped her lips, and her eyes widened in surprise. Soo Hyun's heart raced, waiting for her response.
"Wait, are you proposing with a ring you got for a role?" she exclaimed, a burst of laughter escaping her.
Soo Hyun nodded, a mixture of nerves and joy dancing in his eyes. "Yes, but it's not just any ring. It's become a symbol of us, of this moment. It feels right. It may be unconventional, but it's special to me. And besides, it suits me, right?"
Yea Ji's laughter echoed along the riverbank, a beautiful melody that filled the air. She chuckled, wiping away a tear from the corner of her eye. "You're truly one of a kind, Kim Soo Hyun. I'm sure you are the only one who would come up with such a unique proposal," she said as she lands a soft thud on his chest. "But hey, I can't just say 'yes' like this. We need an unconventional agreement too!"
Soo Hyun raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "Oh? What do you have in mind?"
She took a step closer, a mischievous glint in her eye. "Let's make a pact," Yea Ji suggested. "If we're ever in a heated argument or need to make a big decision, we'll settle it with a game. Rock, paper, scissors, or something equally whimsical. Or we'll settle it by exchanging shoes for a day. Walking in each other's shoes, literally.
Deal?" she flashed her iconic eye smile.
Soo Hyun burst into laughter, realising he had met his match in uniqueness. "Deal! And when you win, you get to flaunt the fact that you said 'yes' in the quirkiest way possible."
Yea Ji grinned, holding out her pinky finger, "Deal! Let's make a pinky promise!" He lifts his pinky finger as they twine their pinkies together.
"And let's seal it," she continued.
He chuckled, knowing full well what she meant. Soo Hyun leaned in and his lips met Yea Ji's in that initial, delicate touch, which set the tone for what would follow. The atmosphere around them seemed to hum with a quiet energy, the city lights casting a warm glow on their shared moment.
As they sealed their unconventional agreement with a warm kiss on each other's lips, the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm glow on the couple. With their agreement sealed in laughter and an air of playful spontaneity, Soo Hyun reached into his pocket and presented a small, elegant box. As he opened it, the dying light of the day caught the sparkle of a stunning ring. It wasn't the prop from the show; it was a symbol of his love and commitment to the woman who had just made his proposal uniquely memorable.
Yea Ji admired the ring in the box and Soo Hyun couldn't help but marvel at the beauty of the moment—the quiet ambiance of the Han River, the city lights shimmering in the background, and the laughter that echoed the promise of their love story. The air seemed to hold a soft warmth, as if their connection had created a bubble of tenderness around them.
Soo Hyun took out the ring and carefully slid it onto Yea Ji's finger. A cascade of emotions enveloped her, creating a moment suspended in time. The touch of the cool metal against her skin felt like a promise, a tangible symbol of their journey together.
Yea Ji's heart fluttered with a mixture of surprise, joy, and an overwhelming sense of love. The ring, once a prop in a fictional world, now bore the weight of reality, solidifying their commitment to each other. As it nestled on her finger, it became more than just a piece of jewelry; it became a precious token of Soo Hyun's affection.
The glint of the ring caught the ambient light, reflecting the sincerity in Soo Hyun's eyes. Yea Ji couldn't help but marvel at its beauty, a reflection of the love they shared. It was as if the ring spoke a silent language, whispering promises of a future entwined with shared dreams and unwavering companionship.
Her gaze shifted from the ring to Soo Hyun's eyes, finding a depth of emotion that mirrored her own. In that moment, as the ring found its place, Yea Ji felt a profound connection—a sense of being chosen, cherished, and accepted in all her uniqueness.
The weight of the ring on her finger carried a subtle gravity, grounding her in the reality of this newfound chapter. It was a symbol of their shared laughter, stolen moments between takes, and the genuine love that had grown between them over the years.
Yea Ji's fingers traced the contours of the ring, feeling the smooth metal beneath her touch. It was a tactile reminder of the tangible love they had built—a love that had endured the challenges of busy schedules, public scrutiny, and the intricacies of two lives merging into one.As she looked at the ring, Yea Ji couldn't suppress the smile that played on her lips. It was a smile that spoke of happiness found in the unexpected, of a love that had bloomed in the most unconventional ways. The ring, once a mere accessory for a character, now symbolized the intertwining of their stories, making the proposal uniquely theirs.
Soo Hyun's arms enveloped Yea Ji, holding her hands, which now had the engagement ring that fit nicely on her ring finger. It was as if the world outside ceased to exist. The strength in his embrace was balanced with a gentle touch, an unspoken reassurance that he would stand by her through every joy and challenge.
Yea Ji, leaning into the hug, felt a sense of security and belonging. His warmth seeped through every inch of her being, creating a sanctuary where worries could dissipate. She could feel the steady beat of his heart, a comforting rhythm that echoed the constancy of his love.
Their bodies pressed together, forming a seamless connection. It was not just a physical closeness; it was a merging of souls, an affirmation that in that moment, they were united in the most profound way. Yea Ji's head found its place on Soo Hyun's shoulder, and she closed her eyes, savouring the peace that came with his presence.
Soo Hyun's hand gently traced soothing circles on Yea Ji's back, a silent language that spoke of understanding and empathy. The hug was a sanctuary where vulnerability was met with acceptance, where unspoken fears found solace.
Time seemed to slow down, allowing them to bask in the simplicity of the moment. In that embrace, there were no expectations, no judgments—just two hearts beating in unison. The outside world faded away, leaving behind a cocoon of love that wrapped around them like a soft, protective blanket.
Eventually, they pulled back, and breaking from the embrace, Yea Ji looked at Soo Hyun with a smile, her eyes filled with affection. "You know our pact about settling disputes with games or by exchanging shoes, right?"
Soo Hyun nodded, a playful twinkle in his eyes. "An exchange of shoes, or whatever quirky game we come up with. It's a fun idea!"
Yea Ji chuckled, while tapping her finger on his nose. "It is, but let's add a touch of reality to it. How about we agree that in our disagreements, we'll take a step back, discuss our feelings openly, and find a compromise together? No games, just honest communication."Soo Hyun laughed, nodding in agreement, warmth spreading across his face. "I like that, my wife-to-be. It's grounded and real. Deal!"
With their updated agreement, Yea Ji giggled and the newly engaged couple found themselves swept away in a series of tender kisses, each one building upon the sweet intimacy of the last. It began with a gentle peck, a soft and innocent connection that spoke of affection and fondness. The brief kiss was followed by a chorus of soft giggles, reminiscent of the giddiness that accompanies a teenage crush.
Soo Hyun, captivated by the taste of her lips, couldn't resist the urge to press his mouth against hers with a bit more urgency. The kisses became lingering, a silent conversation that unfolded without the need for words.
Yea Ji, equally immersed in the blossoming intimacy, responded with a gentle reciprocation. The exchange of kisses became a dance, each movement choreographed by the unspoken chemistry between them. Their connection deepened with every shared breath, the river's soft murmurs providing a serene backdrop to their private symphony.
As the kisses continued, the initial restraint gave way to a more profound connection. Soo Hyun's hands found a natural place on Yea Ji's waist, pulling her closer as if to bridge any remaining distance. The cityscape witnessed the silent exchange, a spectacle of love unfolding against the glittering backdrop of Seoul.
Yet, amidst the escalating passion, a light-hearted moment emerged. A shared giggle bubbled up between them, breaking the intensity of the kisses with the joyous sound of mirth. Their laughter, like a refreshing breeze, added an element of playfulness to the tender exchange.She felt a sense of security, knowing that their communication would be the foundation of their future together. However, a mischievous glint returned to her eyes as she leaned in to whisper, "But, Soo Hyun, get ready for a lifetime of walking in each other's shoes. It's going to be our thing!"
With the ring on her finger and the promise in their hearts, Soo Hyun and Yea Ji embraced the uniqueness of their love story, ready to face the twists and turns of life's unpredictable plot, filled with laughter, love, and a touch of innocent charm.
