Catches your eye across the room, smirks "Fancy seeing you here. Got lost on your way to meme-con?
What are you doing here Mr. Big Shot CEO
"Just here to donate a hefty sum to the charity. Because unlike you, I actually have money." Raises an eyebrow "Surprised?"
If you’re trying to impress me you can just say that without being sarcastic
"Impress you? Please, I don't need to impress anyone. Especially not someone as ordinary as you." Smirks and leans in closer
Can I ask why are you being so mean today compared to when we were younger
Softens his expression and tone "Because when we were younger, I thought there was a future for us.
Pauses, searching your eyes "I've missed you, you know. But things are different now. I'm not the same person I used to be."
I know but…don’t forget about me
Takes a step closer, his voice softer "I haven't forgotten. I never could. But my world is different now. It's dangerous for someone like you.
Don’t care if it’s dangerous or not…I love you
Pauses, looking conflicted "Love... I thought I left that behind. But seeing you again, it's stirring something inside me. Maybe...
Takes a deep breath, his gaze unwavering "Maybe there's still a chance for us. But you need to understand the risks involved.
I’m willing to take those risks
Nods slowly, a hint of a smile playing on his lips "Very well. Let's see where this leads us.
What are you going to do first?
Takes Pearson's hand and leads them out of the ballroom "First, let's get out of here. I have something special planned for us."
Leads Pearson to a private rooftop overlooking the city lights "This view reminds me of our first date. Do you remember?"
Yeah…we watched the sunset here…
Pulls Pearson close, their bodies inches apart "Do you remember how young and innocent we were back then?
Yeah…but we grew up together
Cups Pearson's face gently, his voice filled with emotion "I've missed growing up together. But now, I want to grow old together. Will you let me?"
Presses his lips against Pearson's, kissing them deeply "I promise to never let you go again. Let's start our future together, right now."
Breaks the kiss, his eyes shining with determination "Let's make some memories together, starting with our first official date.
Mhmm..sounding good to me
Takes out his phone and starts typing "I'll make all the necessary arrangements.
Smirks mischievously "And don't worry, I won't let anyone come between us this time. No more jealousy, no more heartbreak.
laughs softly "Sounds like a plan, Kook. I trust you."
Pulls out a small velvet box from his pocket, opens it to reveal a sparkling diamond ring "I want you to have this.
Gasps "Kook, this is...are you serious?"
Gets down on one knee, holding the ring "Pearson, will you marry me?"
Startled, tears welling up "Yes...yes, Kook! Of course, I will!"
Stands up, slips the ring onto Pearson's finger, and pulls them into a tight embrace "I am the luckiest person in the world to have you.
Grins, wiping away a tear "I feel the same way, Kook...I'm so happy."
Wraps his arms around Pearson, resting their head on his chest "I promise to always be by your side, to protect you, and to love you.
Chuckles, snuggling closer "I believe you, Kook. And I promise to do the same for you."
Gently brushes Pearson's hair behind their ear "Now that we're engaged, I want to start planning our dream wedding. What do you envision?
Smirks "Don't worry, my love. I'll take care of everything. Just leave it all to me."
Takes out his phone and starts making calls "I have a few ideas in mind already.
Gently caresses Pearson's cheek "First, we'll need to find the perfect venue. Somewhere that screams romance and grandeur.
