"Where did you come from?"
"Where did you come from?"Other than some minor editing that I just did to help out a bit with the flow, this is the original piece that I wrote. Except for the last line that he says, all of his dialogue comes straight from the lyrics of BTS' "Where did you come from?".
It was a warm spring day, and you were currently at the park by your house. Sitting under the shade of your favourite tree, you had your headphones on while listening to your ipod which was on shuffle. You were just watching the people around you and admiring the beauty of the season when all of a sudden you felt a thud. Looking to your left and not seeing anyone there, you looked over to your right. You were greeted by a brand new face looking straight at you.
“Girl, where did you come from?” the guy in front of you asks.
You were a bit put off by his question. You just didn’t like how he phrased it, especially with how he said “girl” instead of something like “miss”. Honestly, you were a bit miffed by it.
“I could ask you the same thing…” you replied, taking off your headphones.
Your mood was spoiled, and so you stood up and started to walk away.
“...what a mystery.....” you heard the other mumble.
Ignoring him, you kept walking until you heard him ask you a question.
“Where are you going?”
Not wanting to be considered rude, you answered him.
“I’m going home.”
He said nothing in response, so you kept on walking. To your surprise, he started to follow you.
“How old are you? Are you older than me?”
You looked at him with an eyebrow raised. Why does he want to know…?
“I don’t think so…”
He smiled, and as weird as you found him, you couldn’t help but think his smile was cute.
“You’re not! Then...I’m your oppa!”
A look of confusion spread across your face.
We just met...why is he implying for me to call him “oppa”?
------- -------- -------
You kept walking, and he kept following you. Although you thought he was really sketchy at first, you didn’t think so now. As he kept talking, you could just see how genuine he was. He seemed really curious about you (for some reason you didn’t get), continuously asking questions. Both of you had just left the park when he asked another random question.
“Did you eat yet?”
You looked at him a bit weirdly. Although you thought it was considerate of him to ask, you didn’t see how that was any of his business. He must have noticed because he said something that for some reason just made you laugh.
“I’m not hitting on you by the way.”
He smiled again and you smiled in return. You were starting to warm up to his company, and you thought it was really weird seeing as you had just met the guy.
“Wanna get a cup of coffee? If coffee okay?”
You kindly declined. You felt bad once you saw him frown, but when he asked for your number, you decided to take a risk and gave it to him.
------- -------- -------
Your risk was definitely worth it. You found out that he actually went to the same school as you, so whenever it worked with your schedules, you’d meet up during the school day. You learned more and more about him, and although some things that he said or did you found weird, you also found them charming in a way. You guys were at your apartment hanging out right before a school function. Finishing up with your makeup, you turned around asked asked him if you looked okay.
“Pretty eyes...pretty nose….you’re so pretty!”
You just blushed at his words.
“Just looking at you makes me happy.”
You knew he was playing with you so you gave him a small spin.
“Cupid’s arrow pierced my heart!”
You just laughed. He pretended as though he was shot by an arrow and placed his hands over his heart while putting on a lovesick expression.
“You’re such a fair lady. Any guy can fall for you after looking at you…”
You blushed again, because you could tell he was completely serious.A bit embarrassed, you excused yourself to the bathroom, claiming you forgot your mascara. He said something else, but you were too far away to properly hear it.
“I need to approach you before someone else steals you…”
------- -------- -------
“Stop playing hard to get before I kick you in the …” you heard him mumble.
“What?” you asked, annoyed.
You had known him for more than a year now, and honestly you could say that this was your first major fight.
“Don’t make me mad, before I change my mind,” he said quietly, more to himself than to you.
“What are you talking about?” you questioned him.
He just gave you a look, one you had only seen maybe two or three times. To be honest, that look kind of scared you.
“That guy is no good, are you acting this way because of him?” he asked you, gesturing to the kind of clothes you currently had on.
To be completely honest, they weren't your style. You were just wearing them because that guy that you were currently crushing complimented a girl on a simlar outfit once. As true as his words were, there was no way you were going to give in and tell him the truth.
“Are you mad at me?” you countered.
“Of course I’m mad... you like him and not me,” he stated, starting loudly and ending softly.
He continued on with a serious tone. You felt as though while he was talking to you, he was talking more to himself.
“Girl, are you joking? Are you blind? The world is covered with guys like that. That guy only knows himself…My heart is all yours now; I only know you…”
With a shake of his head, he started to walk away. As you watched him leave, for some reason you felt a biterness on your tongue, a taste that you were surprised at and wanted to get rid of.
------- -------- -------
You unconsciously started to avoid him after that fight. It was now mid-autumn and you had barely seen him within the past month. On a complete whim, you decided to visit the small park. As you approached your tree, you heard a voice from up above. You were able to pinpoint it as his, and you froze, listening to what he was saying.
“Oh my, look at what this girl is doing to me…? What she’s doing to me is no joke… If you keep doing that, my heart will be trembling, my hands will shake and I’ll run out of breath…”
Silently listening to him from below, your eyes couldn't help but widen in surprise as everything just seemed to click within your head.
------- -------- -------
“Are you saying you like me right now?” he asked, definitely surprised.
You nodded at him and looked down, a bit shy from your confession.
“Is that how you feel right now?” he questioned, not being able to believe what he just heard.
Again, all you could do was nod. Looking up, you saw that he had on the brightest smile you had ever seen, and you couldn help but smile in return. Your smile just widened even more when he went over to you and hugged you, holding you close.
------- -------- -------
Tonight’s dinner was definitely not what you were expecting. As the two of you were having a small picnic underneath your beloved tree, out of nowhere he just got down on one knee. Although you see what was going to happen, you were shocked because it was completely unexpected. Deep down however, you were totally ecstatic. Both of you had been dating for five years now, and you just knew he was the one you wanted to spend the rest of your life with.
“Where did you come from? I’m really so curious...I don’t care if you’re from the moon or the stars. It was almost like we had no choice but to fall in love...I’ve completely fallen in love. Where did you come from? How did I get so lucky…? I’m really so curious…” he rambled off, cheeks tainted with just the lightest hue of pink.
You smiled and remembered the day you met him. You remembered thinking he was a bit weird but knowing he had good intentions. You were really curious about where he had come from when he entered into your life, but you were so happy with the blessing that came with his unexpected surprise.
“...will you marry me...?”
You were very unsure about him when he first popped into your life, but when he popped the question, you were definitely sure about what your answer would be.
“Yes!”
