"Pictures and articles everywhere. You want that?" he said when we locked eyes with each other.

"I don't mind," I grabbed his other hand and interwined our hands, he smiled softly.

"People will follow you."

"I don't mind."

"Toxic fans and haters will try to pull me away from you, shaming you, making fun of you. Making posts about shit you did wrong, even if it wasn't wrong. How your clothes looked or what expression you had on your face when you were with me. Everything," he continued.

"I don't mind," I repeated for the third time and I meant it seriously.

"How are you so okay with all of it?" he asked with raised eyebrow.

"Because I love you and I don't care how pathetic this sounds but I want all of you. I want everything that comes with you alright?"

"Are you sure?"

"I never been more sure about anything," I said and he smiled widely. His smile was my favorite sight. Everything felt okay even when I didn't know what is going to happen next.

"Minji, can I ask you out on a date tomorrow evening?" he asked, not answearing my little speech. I really wanted for him to say something, anything.

"You can."

"I'll make a reservation, let's say," he looked away from my eyes for split second, "7PM ?" he said back into my eyes.

"Sounds perfect," I smiled widely.

"I'll pick you up at 6:40 exactly, I know a beautiful restaurant."

"So I need to dress fancy?"

"You always look fancy," he chuckled.

"I don't want you to spend money on m-" he shut me up with his lips, I pulled him closer by his collar, deepening the kiss.

He pulled away first after few seconds.

"Quiet," he whispered into my ear.

"Now let's go home, you need to rest," he ordered and stood up from the bench, I stood up too, not able to talk back to him, that kiss totally changed every thought in my head and suddenly the only thing I could do was only obey the dark haired boy.

We were walking in the silence again, until we stepped infront of my house.

I was stubborn and I said what I said, I said I want to be just friends, just because I could protect myself, I can't afford to be broken again. It was selfish.

He always ask for my permission, and mainly in situations like this, when I said I want to be friends but he saw it in my eyes. He didn't have to ask, he knew what I want.

"See you tomorrow," he said and he put a small kiss on my forehead.

"Bye," I said quickly, but he was already on the street, walking back to his dorm.

I was excited for tomorrow, I wasn't sure what is going to happen, but I couldn't wait to find out.

It was already 3PM when I took a shower and I was slowly preparing myself for the evening. It was the first time we were out in the public.

I put a light makeup on my face, nothing too much. I ironed my long black hair and I let them freerly fall on my back.The dress I chose was tight black with hole on my back, so my back was mostly bare, it was the dress that my mom bought for me last year and I always kept it, and saving it for the special occasion.I also picked up black heels but not too tall, I didn't want to be taller than Changbin.

When I adjusted everything on my face, body and hair it was already 6:30, I took my purse and my light black jacket and stepped out on my porch, it took only couple of minutes when the black sport car stopped infront of my house.

The door slowly opened and he get out in black suit and white shirt, little bit unbuttoned on the top. His hair was falling down on his forehead and he look really good. His suit was tight enough so I could see his muscles on his arms and thighs. I couldn't stop staring. He slowly approached me and greeted with me a blood red rose in his hand.

"Oh my god," he said, his mouth slightly opened, he scanned me from top to the bottom.

"What?" I chuckled, I could already feel the heat burning in my cheeks.

"You're so beautiful Minji," he said and placed one hand on my lower back and pulled my closer to him, I was on his chest suddenly with his lips next to my ear.

"So pretty babygirl," he whispered to my ear.

"You look stunning too, I love it," I said with my now red cheeks that were already the same color as the rose he was holding in his hand.

"This is for you," he said when he pulled away just the seconds after.

"Thank you," I smiled widely, taking the rose from his hand.

He put his hand infront of me and I grabbed it into my hand, interwining my other hand with his.

We were slowly approaching the car that was still waiting for us, he opened the door for me and we both sat in the backseat. I greeted his personal driver, he smiled widely at me.

We were sitting in silence, still holding hands, looking out of windows, the drive took us 15 minutes, we were driving to the other side of the city.

When we stopped infront of the tall building I knew that existed, but I was never close to this and I was very curious what place he chose for our first public date.

"They're gonna follow us, but you wanted that," he smirked, "wait here," he said and get out of car, walking on the other side of the car to opened my door.

"Have a good night," driver said when he turned his head to my direction to look at me.

"Thank you," I smiled at him and grabbed Changbin's hand that was already waiting for me. He helped me out of car.

"Let's go," he said and left the soft kiss next to my ear.

We were slowly approaching the building and when we got in we stepped into the elevator that was slowly moving us upstairs to the place unknown for me.

We were already on the floor the restaurant was. Lights dimmed down, it look really modern and elegant. Most of the furniture was in the dark and black color. There were lot of people, sitting on tall chairs drinking coctails infront of the bar, or people on business dinners or couples enjoying their dates. I didn't expect for him to take me here, it was really romantic.

"Good evening. I reserved table at 7PM, my name is Seo Changbin," he said quickly, the waiter wasn't really interested but when he heard his name his eyes changed and he suddenly smiled widely.

"Good evening, please follow me," he said and we were following the waiter in the back of the restaurant, then he showed us our table.

"I'll be back with menus in a while," he smiled at us and dissapeared into the restaurant.

Changbin moved my chair slightly and I sat down. I loved how he was treating me today and well, everyday.

"This is so beautiful," I said when I looked out of the window. We could see so far away, whole city like on my hand, with many lights from buildings and cars.

"I knew you'll like it," he smirked and winked at me right after.

"Are you really sure you wanted to take me to the public?" I said but the waiter was faster and didn't give Changbin time to answer.

"Here's your menus and the bottle of champagne on the house," he smiled and left again.

"Wow," I said surprised. I wasn't use to this behaviour.

We opened the menus my mouth opened widely. It was prices from 110 000 to 270 000 KRW (81 to 200euros)

"Changbin I can't do this."

"You're not paying, pick what you really want."

"But-"

"I said pick what you want," he said, his voice deeper, his eyes locked on mine.

"I don't deserve all of this, I pushed you away," I said quietly still looking into his eyes.

"You deserve universe, pick what you want babe, please," he said softly and I blushed, doing what he told me.

We picked our food and it didn't take long for waiter to take our order and it also didn't take long for him to bring us our food, too. He also opened and poured champagne into tall glasses that were standing on the table infront of us.

When the waiter left, he raised a glass of champagne infront of his face to propose a toast, looking at me as I did the same.

"On us," he said quietly, smiling softly.

"Changbin but-"

"Minji I love you," he said, slowly moving the glass down, but he was still holding it up, my heart couldn't take it, "I love you so much and for a long time now. I want you more than anything, more than anyone else. I keep thinking of how much I love talking to you, of how much I love your smile or laugh. I love how you look at me when you're happy and believe me, that's the best thing I've ever seen. I love we understand each other, how you make me soft, how you know my every soft spot and not using it against me. You're occupying my whole mind and heart. You're the best thing that ever happened to me," he was saying it slowly, precisely, for me to absorb every single word and don't forget anything.

I started crying when he said the last sentence. I wanted this my whole life. Someone who understands, who loves me, who loves my everything and more. And I had that. Infront of my eyes. My everything.

"Would you make me the happiest and will you be my girlfriend?" he said, smiling at me, still holding the glass in his hand.

"Yes," I said with my broken voice, I was speechless.

He smiled at my response and slightly hit his glass againts mine and drink a little bit. I did the same and when my hands  were free he grabbed them in his.

"You're shaking," he chuckled.

"What did you expect? Saying all these beautiful words and-and asking me to be yours?" I chuckled back.

"I love you."

"I love you too," I said back, enjoying every second of the sentence I heard from his beautiful lips.

"Let's eat," he said and let go of my hands. Focusing on the food that was already infront of us.

We were there for some time, slowly eating and talking about random stuff as always. Being just so happy about each other, enjoying every second. He looked really comfortable around me even when we were in the place like this, he looked proud that he could show me off.

He payed our food and we were now, again, sitting in the back of the car that drove us hear, heading to my house.

I didn't even notice when we were already infront of my house."Wanna sleep in or are you having something important tomorrow?" I asked.

"I want to be with you more," he said and gave me a soft smile. Driver didn't need any more explanation when he overheard our conversation, he just left when we stepped our of the car.

We get inside of the house and I couldn't help myself. I didn't know if it was because of the champagne, my emotions or my need to see his muscular arms without the 2 layers of clothes he was wearing.

We started kissing againts my front door. He didn't hesitate any second and pushed me more againts him.

The night that was infront of us, made me feel like I was in heaven. As he always makes me feel, and the morning was even more beautiful.

I was officially his.

Never wanting anything else.
