[BREAKING] GYMNAST KWON JIYONG WON A HISTORIC GOLD MEDAL FOR SOUTH KOREA! A BREATHTAKING MOMENT FOR THE KOREA GYMNASTICS WORLD!
"So that's what you're crying about?" I smirked as I looked at the news that she showed me.
"People like you will never understand. You're high up there, while commoners like me are struggling to even qualify," she kept her phone away, pouting.
"Stop reading such news. They're not good for your mental health. Didn't you heard the news about Naomi Osaka and Simone Biles? That's something to learn," I took a seat beside her. "Besides, you already qualified. You don't have to prove to anyone. To even be able to compete in the Olympics shows that you're already above average."
"But I want a medal too! This is my last shot, oppa," she looked at me, tears welling up again. "Even at the age of 33, you're able to get your first gold. Life is unfair."
"Medals are won, records will be broken. I won't stand on the top forever, pabo," I ruffled her hair. "If you like, I can give you my medal?"
She rolled her eyes in response while I put my arms up in mock defeat.
"I'm sorry for being such a bummer. Congratulations, you deserve the win. Your vault performance was astounding," she cracked a smile.
"I caught your performance too. The way you handled the ribbons, it's phenomenal."
"But I fumbled terribly on the hoops though," she sighed. "Cost me a damn medal."
"At least you're ranked one of the prettiest athletes in this Olympics?" I gave a cheeky grin. "Everyone is raving over your beauty, saying that you can be some K-Pop idol."
"I don't want to be known as only a pretty face!" She punched me on the elbow hard.
"Maybe you can try boxing or weighlifting," I winced in pain, making a joke. Sensing that she was about to hit me again, I shielded myself immediately, "Look at the poor An San. Three golds and still being hated. Be grateful, Im Yoona."
"Right. Those disgusting netizens. I can never get their mind," she scoffed.
"That's why, just be yourself. Though sometimes the results may be disappointing, but at every point of turn, you take away something memorable."
"Wow. The gold medalist sounding philosophical?" She chuckled.
I shrugged, "you can be too? The next Olympics is only three years later. Paris is a nice place for dates? Hopefully COVID already ended by then."
"After delaying a year and with so much hiccups, you conquered all odds and clinched a gold. I'm so proud of you, oppa," she looked up into the night sky, ignoring my remark and commented. "Even though your family aren't here with you, I'm glad that I get to share this moment with you."
"I still have some regrets though?"
"Mw-"
She turned to look at me and I was down on one knee as I took out the ring that I had prepared beforehand. She was in utter surprise as she flung her hands above , staring at me with her wide doe eyes.
"We've known each other since we're teenagers and I remember how I fell off the balancing beam when I caught sight of you coming into the gymnastics hall, training with your apparatus. My friends were laughing their heads off and I got reprimanded so badly by my coach while you stood there gloating. That's when I started watching all those rhythmic gymnastics videos, hoping to know you better," I mustered up my courage, pouring my thoughts out. "Then my hardwork paid off as we became a couple that ever
