author's note ;

So, I decided to write an Epilogue too. Just cause. LOL... Enjoy! :D

"Let me put it on for you," Sunggyu mumbled against my lips.

Sunggyu pulled back a little and carefully took the ring out of its container. I held out my hand for him and he gently slipped the ring onto my right pinky.

I admired the simple silver ring on my pinky and wrapped my arms around his neck.

"This is the best birthday and summer ever. Thank you, Sunggyu."

Sunggyu just smiled sweetly at me and leaned in again.

Suddenly, I heard clapping and quickly pulled away from the kiss. I glanced at the window behind Sunggyu and noticed that our cart has stopped. A rush of cold air came into the cart as the door behind me opened.

"Whoo!" I heard the guys cheer from behind.

I buried my face into Sunggyu's chest in embarrassment. "They ruined the moment," I groaned into his chest.

Sunggyu chuckled and wrapped an arm around me. He slipped an arm under my legs and picked me up bridal style, earning a yelp from me from surprise. "Sunggyu!"

I tightened my grip around Sunggyu's neck and peeked at the group. They were all grinning and clapping, even Key. Although, Key had a somewhat grumpy face.

"You better take good care of her, or I'll come after you," he grumbled.

"Key oppa!" I laughed.

"So, who's hungry?" Sandra whooped.

The boys raised their hands and whined. "I am!" "I'm so hungry!" "Me want food!"

"Um, Sunggyu?" I looked up at him. "You can put me down now."

"Let me think about that... Nah," Sunggyu said with a sly smile.

"Sunggyu!" I squealed.

"Ugh. I didn't know my sister had this much aegyo in her," Key scoffed jokingly.

"Oppa!" I laughed, reaching out a hand to punch him playfully.

Key twisted out of the way, causing me to lean out to much. I felt myself falling out of Sunggyu's grip and closed my eyes, waiting for the fall. But it never came.

Sunggyu tightened his grip on me and frowned. "Oopsies," I grinned sheepishly.

Sunggyu sighed and shook his head.

"Wow, you guys did all this? How? When? You guys were with me the whole time!" I breathed, eyes widening.

My backyard was decorated with pastel-colored streamers hanging from the trees and scattered on the floor. Candles were placed on small coffee tables that made a rectangle, bordering my backyard.

The words "Happy Birthday" hung from one tree to another in the back. Below that was a rectangular single-layered cake covered in white frosting and decorated with a strawberries, melons and a chocolate piece that read "Happy Birthday".

There was a round table set up in the center that had 16 sets of utensils, plates and cups set up. The center of the table was full of my favorite foods.

"17...?" I tilted my head in confusion.

"Happy Birthday, sweetie!" a voice sang merrily from behind.

"Surprise!" another, deeper, voice chuckled.

"Umma! Appa!" I gasped.

"Come, come! Let's eat!" Umma linked her arms with mine and pulled me towards the table.

"Is that your boyfriend? Quite the catch," she whispered.

"Umma!" I giggled.

We sat down and dug into the food. My parents were engaged in a conversation with Key. Sunggyu held onto my hand under the table, resting our hands on his leg. Since he was holding my right hand, I was forced to eat with my left. But I didn't mind. His large and smooth hands still sent chills down my spine.

But apparently, someone else did.

"Seoyoungie, why are you eating with your left hand?" Key asked suspiciously, turning his attention to me.

"Um... I... Ah..." I stuttered.

"So, Key, you never answered my question," Appa said, making Key scowl and return to their conversation.

'Phew.'

"Time for cake!" Umma clapped gleefully once everyone was finished eating.

They sang Happy Birthday to me while my parents lit up a single candle. Umma pulled me over to the cake and gave me a bear hug. "Happy 18th birthday, my little Seoyoung."

"Thanks, Umma," I hugged her back.

"Make a wish!" she turned me towards the cake.

I closed my eyes and took in a deep breath. 'I wish for success for SHINee and Infinite... And that Sandra and Dongwoo, and Sungyu and I will be happy forever.' I opened my eyes and blew out the candle.

"Cut the cake! Cut the cake!" the boys chanted.

Appa handed me the knife. I clumsily sliced the cake and started handing uneven pieces to everyone.

"Um, is it safe for Seoyoung to be cutting the cake?" Key teased.

"You're right. Seoyoung, hand me the knife," Appa laughed.

"Phew! I thought I was going to cut myself."

"You probably would have," Key mumbled not-so-quietly.

"Hey!" I glared at him playfully.

After eating cake and chatting for a while longer, my parents bid us goodnight and headed into the house to sleep. Infinite and SHINee slowly disappeared into the house as well, until the only people left were Key, Sunggyu, Woohyun, Jonghyun and me.

"Ah, I'm tired!" Woohyun yawed.

"Me too," Jonghyun rubbed his eyes tiredly.

"I'm not," Key shrugged casually.

"Yes you are," Woohyun and Jonghyun said simultaneously.

They linked arms with Key and dragged him into the house, despite his loud protests.

I laughed at the sight and turned around. Sunggyu, however, was nowhere in sight.

"Sunggyu?" I called out, glancing around my backyard. "Now where did that little hamster go..."

Arms s around my waist and pulled me back. "I'm not a hamster..." I turned around to see Sunggyu pouting.

"Yes you are," I pecked his cheek and leaned back into his chest.

"Do you want to go in?" Sunggyu rested his head on my shoulder.

"Truthfully, no. It's so nice out here..." I glanced up at the star-filled sky.

"Me neither," Sunggyu smiled.

We stayed in the position for a while. My eyelids started to droop and Sunggyu noticed. "Let's go in," he murmured.

"Mm," I moaned sleepily.

Sunggyu turned me around and crouched down. I climbed onto his back and let him carry me into the house.

He gently lowered me onto my bed and turned to leave. I reached out and grabbed his hand before he could leave.

"Stay here," I mumbled.

"Gladly," he smiled.

We crawled under the covers and snuggled closer to each other.

"You know what I wished for?" I asked quietly.

"What did you wish for, sleepyhead?"

"That SHINee and Infinite will be successful... and that we can be together forever..." I trailed off, finally falling asleep.

Sunggyu smiled and tucked a strand of hair behind my ear. He kissed my forehead and whispered, "Goodnight, girlfriend.""Let me put it on for you," Sunggyu mumbled against my lips.

Sunggyu pulled back a little and carefully took the ring out of its container. I held out my hand for him and he gently slipped the ring onto my right pinky.
