I hope to see you all soon in my next smau)
"Where are you taking me Jay?" You laughed softly as he tugged you along the beach, it was nearing evening time now and the sky was a dark shade of blue.
Jay had picked you up from work that afternoon, telling you he wanted to take you somewhere. However, his usual chirpy demeanor was no where to be found when he greeted you. He was quiet, the nerves were getting to him all of a sudden and it showed.
He'd spent all day with the boys preparing, Heeseung and Jake had managed to come along for a few hours to help as well as Taehyun and Beomgyu. The only one who kept you busy at work was Niki, who was there to keep you distracted so that you wouldn't realise exactly how long the other four were on their lunch break for.
All the boys had spent the last few weeks planning and preparing this day, checking the weather forecast for when it would be warm and calm, making the decorations, preparing food for the two of you. Jungwon had even made sure you wore a cute outfit to work that day, insisting on styling you into something a little bit too fancy for work.
If you'd been paying attention then you'd probably have noticed something was up. But your mind was too occupied with the sales of your new hybrid multivitamins that you didn't even register the weird behaviour of everyone around you.
"Just a little further," he mumbled, bottom lip tucked between his teeth. His fingers were intertwined with yours, the little box in his pocket was burning a hole.
You turned a corner, seeing a setup of pillows, lights and decorations tucked away in the spot you and Jay had been to before. It was beautiful, the little makeshift seating area was cozy and there was already plates of snacks and drinks waiting for the two of you.
"Did you do all this?" You asked softly, eyes wide as you took it all in. You remembered coming here before, kissing Jay for the first time, how times had changed since then.
"I had a little help," he said shyly. He knew the boys were all hiding nearby, as soon as you'd left work everyone had made their way to the spot, taking their positions behind any bushes or trees they could find.
Heeseung was sitting behind the nearest tree, his phone out ready to film when he needed to. He wouldn't miss this moment for the world, he could feel a tear in his eye already.
"This is so beautiful Jay," you said, turning to face him. "What's this all for? It's not an anniversary or anything, is it?"
Jay shook his head, a nervous smile on his lips. He took both of your hands in his, the two of you standing underneath the fairy lights that were your only source of illumination now that the sun had gone down. Heeseung hit record on his phone.
"I love you Y/N," Jay started, taking a shaky breath. "I have for the longest time now, even before I said it to you. You've done so much for me, you came into my life and turned it upside down in the best way possible."
He caught your gaze, eyes showing so much sincerity that you felt like crying, "I never knew what love was until you came along, I never knew how amazing it could be. You taught me how to be myself, how to love myself and who I am, you showed me that it was ok to be me. And for that I'm so incredibly grateful, you have no idea how much impact you have had on me."
"Jay," you mumbled, a tear slipping down your cheek. "I love you so much, I did all that because I love you. You don't ever have to thank me for it."
"I know," he replied, smiling at you. One hand came up to cup your cheek and wipe away the tear. "You're so selfless when it comes to love, you give without expecting anything in return. That's why you're such an amazing person through and through. Falling in love with you was the easiest thing I've ever done."
He dropped your hands, stepping back slightly as you watched him with wide eyes, "you showed me how much more I was worth, you changed my life for the better. There will never be anyone else like you, you're truly one of a kind. And you're it for me, I can't imagine doing this with anyone else. I don't want to do this with anyone else, I want to live my life fully with you by my side."
Jay dug the box out of his pocket, dropping to one knee in front of you and holding it open. He watched as the penny dropped in your mind, your eyes automatically tearing up at the sight. Your hand flew to your mouth to cover the gasp that sounded, Jay's smile never once leaving his lips.
"So I'm asking you, Y/N, will you do me the honour of marrying me? So that we can spend forever with each other, so that I can continue loving you for as long as we live?"
He didn't even need to ask, because before he'd even asked the question you'd dropped to your knees and wrapped your arms around him, "of course I will. I'll marry you Jay, I'll spend forever with you."
Jay held you in his arms, pressing his lips to yours as if to seal that promise. He felt the tears run down your cheeks and onto his own, but he didn't really care. His mind was still reeling as he pulled away, slipping the ring onto your finger finally.
"Let's fucking go!" Jake screamed from somewhere in the distance, prompting the two of you to snap your heads over in their direction. All the boys came out of their hiding spots, cheering for the two of you as a wide smile broke out onto your face.
"Were they all in on this?" You asked Jay quietly, admiring the ring that sat so prettily on your finger. Jay took your hand in his, kissing it gently.
"They helped me plan this all, they bought my vision to light," Jay replied. His gaze kept falling down to your hand, loving the way the ring looked on you, "Heeseung filmed the whole thing too, I'm sure he'll use it to blackmail us one day."
"That sounds about right," you laughed softly, finally standing up and pulling Jay with you. He wrapped you up in his arms, pressing a few light kisses to your lips. "I love you Jay, I can't imagine doing this with anyone else."
He visibly relaxed, his own smile mirroring yours, "I love you too Y/N, you're my forever."

rushing to meet your ends and accumulating bills on top of other bills, your bestfriend sunghoon recommends you to his sister's cafe for a job that pays pretty well. between slinging lattes and bantering over burnt pastries, life feels somewhat manageable — until he walks in — a sharply dressed handsome stranger with such a tailored charm built for disarming smiles. your veins ignite like its struck with a triple espresso shot, heart drumming faster than the café’s indie playlist. suddenly, your tending apron feels like a straitjacket, and every customer except him blurs into static. how do you explain this dizzying pull?

You sighed as you pushed open the door, the hinges creaking faintly in protest. "Ugh, they really left it open," you muttered under your breath, stepping inside. The air was still, the only sound the soft hum of the refrigerator and the distant chirping of birds outside. Morning light streamed through the large windows, casting long golden streaks across the wooden floors.
Cupid’s Lil’ Cup was a small, charming place—bohemian tapestries draped over cozy armchairs, potted plants lining the shelves, and the rich scent of coffee beans lingering in the air. It was the kind of café people visited to escape, to lose themselves in a book or a quiet conversation.
You tightened the strings of your brown apron, rolling your shoulders back. "Let's do this," you whispered, more to yourself than anyone else.
The boxes of supplies near the entrance weren’t heavy, but they were awkward, and you grunted as you hauled them behind the counter. Setting them down with a thud, you took a moment to admire the café’s interior—the way the sunlight hit the polished counter, the way the rustic wooden beams contrasted with the delicate fairy lights strung overhead.
It was peaceful here.
Too peaceful, sometimes.
You pulled out your sketchbook from your bag, flipping to a half-finished drawing—a rough sketch of a cityscape, buildings stretching toward the sky. The pencil felt familiar in your fingers, the scratch of graphite against paper a comforting rhythm.
For a while, there was nothing but the sound of your breathing and the soft drag of lead.
Then, the first customers arrived.
The morning rush was steady but manageable—a few regulars nodding at you in greeting, tourists squinting at the menu, the occasional student burying their nose in a laptop. You worked on autopilot, smiling politely, taking orders, making change.
Routine. Predictable. Safe.
Until the chime above the door rang again.
And the world stopped.
You didn’t look up at first, too busy wiping down the espresso machine.
Then you felt it—the shift in the air, the way the room seemed to hold its breath.
Your head lifted slowly.
And there he was.
Tall, unfairly handsome, dressed in all black—a sleek turtleneck hugging broad shoulders, tailored trousers, boots that looked like they cost more than your rent. His dark hair was slightly tousled, as if he’d run a hand through it one too many times.
But his eyes.
Deep, dark, intense. They flickered over the menu, then landed on you.
Your fingers twitched around the cloth in your hand.
"Hi," he said.
Oh.
His voice was smooth, deep, with a warmth that curled around you like smoke.
You swallowed. Hard.
"Uh—" Your brain short-circuited. "W-what will you take?"
A faint smirk tugged at his lips, like he knew exactly what kind of effect he had on you.
"Hmm." He tilted his head slightly, scanning the menu behind you. "One Matcha Cream Blend Frappuccino, no caramel drizzle, extra whipped cream. Large."
You nodded quickly, punching it into the register before your hands could betray you further. "Sure thing." You forced yourself to sound professional, though your voice came out a little breathless. "Anything else, sir?"
He turned as if to leave, then paused, glancing back.
"Actually… some pastry will do too."
"Of course!" You gestured to the display case. "We have croissants, danishes, muffins—"
"Surprise me."
Your mouth went dry.
He was smiling now—a slow, devastating thing that made your stomach flip. "I’ll trust you on this one."
Then, before you could react, he leaned in slightly, close enough that you could smell his cologne—something rich and woodsy, with a hint of spice. His gaze dropped to your name tag.
Your heart hammered against your ribs as you hear him pronounce your name.
He straightened, eyes locking onto yours again. "Hopefully, I finally get something real nice."
You moved on autopilot, hands shaking just enough to make the whipped cream dispenser wobble. Get it together, you scolded yourself. He’s just a customer.
But then—
The sharp line of his jaw, the way his fingers tapped idly against the counter, even the faint mark he was sporting on his neck.
Recognition hit you like a freight train.
Park Jongseong. Jay himself.
The actor. That one memorable lead from 'Television Chronicles', and the new drama 'The Legacy' already has half the country obsessed even before it comes out. The one whose face was plastered on billboards and magazine covers all over town right now.
And he was here.
In your tiny café.
Talking to you.
You nearly dropped the cup.
Somehow, you managed to finish his order without setting anything on fire, arranging the pastry carefully on a plate with a dusting of powdered sugar. When you slid it toward him, his eyes lit up.
"Wow." He picked up his phone, snapping a quick photo. "This looks amazing."
Your face burned. "It’s—uh—just a regular blueberry croissant."
"It’s art," he corrected, tilting the screen toward you. "Look at the presentation. You’ve got an eye for this."
You barely registered his words, too distracted by the way the sunlight caught his features—the sharp cut of his cheekbones, the faint dimple when he smiled.
He was even more breathtaking in person.
Jay tapped at his phone again. "Mind if I tag you? This deserves credit."
Your heart lurched. "No!"
The word came out too loud, too sharp.
Jay blinked, startled.
Before you could do anything, your hand had already shot out, fingers brushing his wrist.
Time froze.
His skin was warm under your touch, his pulse steady against your fingertips. His dark eyes locked onto yours, and for a heartbeat, neither of you moved. The air between you crackled with something electric, something alive.
Then reality crashed back in.
You yanked your hand away like you’d been burned. "S-sorry. I just—I don’t… do social media."
Jay studied you for a long second, expression unreadable. Then, slowly, his lips curved into that same devastating smile.
"Alright. No tag." He pocketed his phone, picking up his drink. "Guess I’ll just have to come back from time to time to enjoy just how good your stuff is right here, hmm?"
Your breath caught.
He winked—winked—before turning and walking away, leaving you standing there, heart pounding so hard you were sure he could hear it.
The rest of your shift passed in a blur. Jake and Sunghoon really had something important to do that they never even bothered to show up in person even in your own group chat. Every time the door chimed, your head snapped up, half-expecting—half-hoping—to see him again.
But he didn’t return.
It wasn’t until you were locking up that you noticed it—an almost neatly sneaked receipt still on the counter's edges, bearing a familiar name scribbled in neat handwriting at the bottom.
And a phone number, plus a single word beneath it:
"Call me."
Your knees nearly gave out.
