We got up and walked to the stand where a lady fried some spicy rice cakes.
"Aw Kevin, so sweet! You're paying for the food!" I snuggled on his arm.
He looked so confused
Ha
I just don't wanna pay this time.
I stood with a smile towards the lady, and she was talking to us, but for some reason I didn't understand her?
I swear I knew Korean.
But in my head, I felt like I knew what she said.
"What a cute couple! She's so cute!"
Kevin responded, "Thank you, she doesn't know Korean."
"Oh, that's too bad! Is she your girlfriend?"
Kevin looked at me, and I looked at him.
"N-No!" He joked, but my slap wasn't joking.
"She's my future wife!" Kevin said in Korean.
I think.
My translation is like 10/10
"감사합니다!" I held the bag and whispered a thanks to Kevin too.
<<thank you>>
He chained our arms together, and I took a bite of the spicy rice cake.
Wrong choice.
*SPATS*
Was I insane? Or was I insane?
"Your face made me spit out my tteokbokki!" I lied.
Well I wasn't entirely lying.
"You just wasted a perfectly good rice cake!" He complained.
We stared as it fell onto the road and a couple of birds swarmed to it.
"At least they get to eat." I wisely said.
"Hmmph." Kevin smiled at me.
"Don't forget, we spend the whole 24 hours together." Kevin reminded me.
"The contest started on February, and barely on July, you guys chose a winner for a day?!" I swung my arms.
"What's wrong?" Kevin patted my arms to prevent me from swinging it like an octopus.
"I just can't believe it's not a week, month, or year." I despised the truth.
"You're actually a sweet guy, I mean, cool to hang out with." I awkwardly scratched my arm.
"You like me?" Kevin chuckled.
"Yeah, and I expect a kiss." I joked.
"Maybe later." He replied cheekily.
LIKE WHAT.
"So, how can I spend my next few hours with you?" I asked.
"Let's take you home, and hang out comfortably for the rest of night, maybe some sort of sleepover." Kevin spoke.
"You can sleep with me?!" I asked frantically.
"Wait?! What! Re-word that!" He widened his eyes freaking out.
"YOU CAN SLEEP AT MY HOUSE?" I raised my tone.
"I GUESS?" He followed my tone.
"BE QUIET!" The shop owners yelled at us.
"Unbelievable." I said to him.
All he did was shrug and we asked for an Uber again.
That long awkward ride.
When we went home, my mom acted like she knew Kevin.
My stepdad even did some sort of handshake with him.
My sister accompanied him while I took a shower.
I thought deeply,
don't tell me I went through some amnesia and he was my boyfriend or something.
oh wait,
don't tell me I have an arranged marriage with him all this time.
OR
don't tell me that he
Actually,
I ran of ideas.
Enough showering/thinking.
I walked out to see him with shower hair, plain black t-shirt, and
Ducky pajama shorts.
"You showered? Too?" I admired that look.
"Nah Sherlock." Kevin did that little curly smile he has.
Or whatever.
"Kevin," I called and he gave me his attention immediately.
"Sup?" He said so casually, like we knew each other.
I forgot what I wanted to say.
"You're always like this." Kevin giggled cutely.
"Do you remember how we met, met?" I emphasized my question.
Kevin paused for a good 3 seconds with a blank face, then he smiled softly and romantically looked at me.
Okay, my brain tends to exaggerate at night.
"Of course, you bumped into me and— you're such a nerd!" Kevin slapped his knee.
"Let's have our talk outside for a bit." I walked to the balcony.
Kevin walked out and closed the door behind him.
Suddenly, the atmosphere was just windy, and our hair looked dry.
"Kevin," I started again.
I rolled up my sleeves uneasily.
"I had a lovely day today." I said to him and I just see him smile.
"You're more handsome... er in person." I blinked a couple of times.
"Quit boosting me!" He acted all flustered and waved his hand.
Then, his hands slid to his pockets.
Yes, into his pockets.
"I think—" Kevin spoke as he walked closer to me.
"Wait, not your turn yet!" I slapped my hand onto his chest.
He huffed with disappointment, "Fine."
I dropped my hand slowly and he still walked closer, eliminating the space between us.
"You're so handsome tonight." I felt my tears swell up.
"I can't find the exact words I want to use." I stammered and Kevin touched a hair strand from my face, sliding it behind my ear.
I stared at his cute dark black outfit.
It was a tux.
He pulled a rose from behind his back.
Kevin spun me around like we were dancing.
I laughed happily and felt my dress fly and I stared off to the distance.
It was Paris.
I gasped looking down, the height-
We're on the Eiffel Tower.
"Angel," Kevin spoke from behind and gave me a hug.
I turned immediately to hug him back.
"No please, the day isn't over Kevin." I said a little too dramatic for my own liking.
"Angel," he repeated with a hint of happiness.
"I real ...ly loved this day with you."
That's when my eyes closed tightly and I clenched onto his jacket.
Guess what? These tears are threatening to fall y'all.
Kevin knew,
she knew,
So, he gave a deep sigh and laid his chin on top of her head like earlier.
He brushed his fingers through her hair gently.
And a smile formed like it was made of clouds.
"Angel, Sweet Dreams."
