The sun filtered through the curtains of a room. Birds sang full of energy, cars buzzed fast in the middle of the street, children shouted excited ready for a new day at school. Wendy opened her eyes quickly when the digital clock next to her bed rang with a loud alarm, a sign that she should get her morning going.

By pure instinct she stretched her hand to the opposite side of the bed and found it empty, cold but with ruffled sheets looking like a total mess. She rubbed her eyes with the back of her hand and yawned loudly... why wasn't her girlfriend at her side? It was so strange... She usually slept soundly despite the noisy alarm; with open, softly snoring and drool dripping down one of the corners of . But now, Wendy couldn't​ find her: the shower wasn't running and there was no smell of food coming from the kitchen. Had Seulgi gone to work without following her daily routine in the morning?

Wendy, who was just starting to wake up, rubbed her eyes again and sat on the bed running a hand over her face in a desperate attempt to return to her current life and get rid of that voice in the back of her head that almost forced her go back to bed, forget her job at the bakery and sleep for hours.

She got out of bed, ruffled her hair softly and went to the bathroom to wash her face and take a bath. Her brain would work better after the shower's warm water turned the gears inside her head and tried to solve the mystery of where the hell was Seulgi.

Once she was ready, she took a blue button-up shirt from her closet, black pants and heels of the same color. She would try to go to the bakery with the most comfortable outfit she could find and enjoy the long day of work ahead... especially in the morning where everyone wanted to get a piece of their favorite bread to go along their coffee or complement their breakfast. She tied her hair in a ponytail and then walked to the kitchen to make breakfast

In the middle of her journey, she took her phone out of her pocket and dialed Seulgi's number a couple of times. Each one of the calls yielded the same result: out of service. Wendy began to worry just a bit, what the hell was so important to her girlfriend that she couldn't​ even say goodbye to her in the morning? With a frustrated sigh, Wendy walked to the kitchen and threw her phone on the table that covered a whole quarter of the place

But her eyes rested on the note in the refrigerator. So after all Seulgi had left her a note

The note did not contain what Wendy expected

Instead of telling her where she was, the note read "Will you marry me?" in capital letters decorated with orange and blue hearts on one side and another. Under the question were two check boxes; the first one said "Yes" the second said "Definitely" Wendy wasn't​ supposed to feel that way but she couldn't​ help but feel a lump in and feel full of nostalgia

Seulgi used the exact same method seven years ago to ask her out on their first ever date, when both were in high school too full of illusions and dreams. When both still had some innocence in each of their words and enjoyed forts made out of pillows and whole nights laughing in front of the TV with  silly comedy movies. When Wendy dreamed of an entire life at Seulgi's side and thanked fate for creating the term 'soul mates' because that meant they could be together forever. That meant that 'forever' was more than just a word

She still remembered how shy Seulgi looked that day when she handed her the note, a slight blush covering her cheeks alongside a sweet, soft smile grazing her features. Wendy couldn't​ hold back her own emotions and she nodded excitedly and then hugged tightly the girl who was her best friend. Seulgi then gave her one of those beautiful eye-smiles that everyone loved and Wendy learned to treasure those moments as if they were a chest full of gold.

Without wanting to, she couldn't​ help but spill a couple of tears and let out a soft laugh

"Idiot..." Wendy muttered as she searched for a pen to answer the note "How can you ask me that and then leave?"

"I'm here Wannie"

A calm voice came from her back and Wendy immediately turned around as she recognized that soft tone. As soon as she turned around she found Seulgi on her knee, between her hands was a velvet box with a beautiful ring of delicate decorations. The piece of jewelry was so beautiful that Wendy wondered how much Seulgi had saved just so she could buy something like that

Wendy opened her eyes in surprise and took both​ of her hands to to contain her surprise

"So? What is your answer?"

Wendy tackled Seulgi hard to the ground. The girl answered with a light squeal before letting out a laugh due of her girlfriend's euphoria and kept a steel grip on the velvet box.

"Yes. Definitely" Wendy answered with her face hidden between Seulgi's neck 

"You checked two boxes" Seulgi joked, laughing 

Both looked into each other's eyes for a few seconds before laughing again at the suddenness of it all. Seulgi took advantage of the proximity to put the ring on Wendy's​ hand with almost excessive care, she couldn't​ believe what was happening and that her high school sweetheart told her that longed 'yes'. Perhaps the most important 'yes' of her life

Wendy looked at the ring on her finger with tenderness. Seulgi looked at it with a sparkle in her eyes so full of love and a smile so wide that it went from ear to ear. She looked into her now fiancee's eyes and laughed again before taking her hand in hers and kissing her knuckles 

"I love you Wendy" 

"I love you too Seul... really"

They shared a brief kiss amid laughter 

"Ready to be Mrs. Kang?"

"Of course not! Kang Seungwan sounds old-fashioned. I'm taking the Son surname to my grave" 

Seulgi laughed out loud

“Yes, definitely"
