Engagement day has arrived. Guests arrived one by one at Kang mansion to celebrate the new couple. All staff of KS in Seoul are invited to the party except staff from overseas or other cities. They are unable to come but they will watch live streaming at the place that was booked for them so that they can enjoy it together. Seulgi’s family also invited their acquaintances, close friends and business partners in the country. Everyone wearing sync color outfit which is based on the dress code of the party

“Wow, our boss's house is really big. This is the first time I see such a big house right in front of my eyes” Yerim, the intern student, squeals after she hops out of Solar’s car. She come together with Solar, Eunbi and Nayeon since Solar know the route to Kang mansion

“I used to see this place in pictures. Now I see it with my own eyes, it looked cool” say Solar

“The interior must be awesome. Exterior itself already this gorgeous” Eunbi admiring the beautiful front exterior of the mansion

“Irene unnie is so lucky to be their daughter-in-law. I hope I will marry a rich man too” Nayeon said dreamily while her friends rolled their eyes

“You dream too high, Nayeon-ssi” say Solar then Nayeon reply with laugh

“We should enter now” Eunbi walk ahead of them towards the entrance to the garden

“May I see your invitation card, ma’am?” the staff at the entrance asked politely

Everyone showed the digital invitation card on their phone to the staff. After confirm their name are available in the list, he told them their table number

“That way, ma’am. Your table is at the right side”

“Thanks ahjussi”

“Manager Lee said we will share table with him” Solar read the message from their manager in their group chat

“There he is” Yerim pointed at the middle-age man who busy talking with other guest

“Hello boss” they greet Manager Lee

“Hey girls, I’m waiting for you guys” they sat at the chair and took the hot pack that was provided on the table for all guests. The treatment is very exclusive. Though it is winter garden party, the place is warm and cozy

“Boss, who else will sit with us?”

“According to the list, only marketing staff will sit here and next table. Our department have two tables. GM Moon also will sit here. I thought he come together with you” say Manager Lee to Solar

“He will come with Mr. Choi and Mr. Ahn”

“Okay”

“By the way, the decoration is really pretty. This theme suit unnie’s style” Nayeon commented as she look around the garden

“You’re right. It looked lavish and sweet”

“Can’t wait to see unnie. She must be very pretty” everyone agree with Eunbi statement

…………….

Inside the mansion, Irene and Seulgi are already done with their make-up last touch. Seulgi can’t take his eyes off Irene when he sees her in a blue dress. This is the second time he saw her wearing that dress after their fitting day but she still amazed him. He don’t know what he had done in his past life that he deserve a goddess like Irene

“Seulgi! Hey!” Irene waving her hands in front of Seulgi who zoning out while staring at her

“Yes Hyun?”

“What makes you zoning out? What do you think about?”

“I think about you” Seulgi says honestly “You are always beautiful in anything you wear. I’m so lucky to have you”

Irene blushing hearing Seulgi honest confession “I’m lucky to have you too. Thank you for your unconditional love for me. I love you so much, Kang Seulgi”

“I love you too, honey” Seulgi kisses Irene forehead “I can’t kiss your lips to avoid ruining your lipstick. Jennie will scold me if I ruin it”

Both of them giggle. Jennie offers to be their make-up artist since she is a pro in that field. Her work is very amazing

Someone knocks on the door and Seulgi gives permission to enter. Seungwan appear behind the door

“Hey, let’s go downstairs. It’s time for party”

“Okay”

Irene and Seulgi walk hand in hand following Seungwan to the entrance. Both of them are nervous, especially Irene. Seulgi noticed her hand practically shaking so he caress her back hand with his thumb to calm her down

“Relax, okay?” he whisper

“Okay”

MC calls upon the couple and they walk to the stage elegantly. Seulgi carefully leads their way and makes sure he’s not stepping on Irene's dress. Upon seeing the couple's entrance, the guests cheered as they saw the handsome and beautiful woman. The couple looked perfect in matching color outfit

“Now is the time that everyone is waiting for. Seulgi-ssi will insert an engagement ring to Irene-ssi's finger as a sign they are officially engaged to each other. For everyone's information, the engagement ring is designed personally by Seulgi-ssi and assisted by the best jeweler from Europe. Seulgi-ssi, you may insert the ring”

Irene was really surprised by the fact that she heard just now. She doesn't know that Seulgi designed the ring. He only asked for her finger size without telling further. When Seulgi inserts the ring, she can’t help but admire the ring. It is very beautiful and fit perfectly on her finger

“Thank you, my love” Irene say to Seulgi as soon as he done inserting the ring

“Anything for you, baby. It looked perfect in your finger”

MC voices bring the couple back from their own world “Now Kang Seulgi and Bae Joohyun are officially engaged!” they received big hands from the guest

Both of them bow their heads politely. Suddenly the guest chants “Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!”

From the stage, Irene can see that the marketing team is the mastermind of the kiss request. She clearly sees Solar and Taemin leading the chants. She swear she will pull their ear next week

“Alright, as per request now it’s time for our couple to kiss”

Both of them smile shyly since this is the first time they kiss in front of the crowd. Irene face clearly red while Seulgi calming his heart

“Alright, let’s do it” Seulgi cheer himself “I will kiss you”

“Okay”

Irene took a deep breath as she saw Seulgi slowly lean towards her. In a few seconds, her favorite mint flavor lips meet with hers. Seulgi kisses her softly while holding her hands. He pulls away with a big smile while Irene faces red as hell. If possible, she want to bury herself in the ground due to embarrassment

Meanwhile, the guests, especially KS staff, were taking pictures of their boss kissing his fiancé. It is not every day they see their boss acting sweet so they don’t want to miss this moment. This is the first time they see his big and cheeky smile. They believed that only Irene can make him smile like that

Seulgi and Irene joined their family at the VIP table after the main event was done. Seulgi’s parents, his grandparents, his sisters, Changwook, Junmyeon and his wife, Jisoo are at the same table

“You two are so cute earlier” Yoona teasing her brother and his fiancé

“Joohyun looked shy all the time” Junmyeon commented then Irene throw sharp glare to him

“Are you still shy now, baby?” Mrs. Kang cupped Irene face

“I’m fine now, eomma”

“It just once in your lifetime so enjoy it” say the grandmother

“We enjoy it even though awkward and nervous” Seulgi laughing lightly

“I not nervous last time” Yoona says proudly

“That is because your party is private. If yours is big as mine, I’m sure you will turn red entirely” say Seulgi

“Aigoo oppa, unnie…you two are embarrassing” the youngest join the bickering

“Your time will come, Kang Sooyoung”

“Let see how shy you can be”

“These kids. We still have events now. You guys can continue bickering later” say Mr. Kang

Jisoo changed their topic after that “I heard there will be a special performance later. Who will perform?”

“Special artist” Seulgi wiggle his eyebrows

“Do you invite celebrities?”

“No but they are just special” say Irene

“Who is it?” younger Kang asking

“There” Seulgi pointed his mouth to the stage

Everyone jolted on their seat “Son Seungwan?” their jaw dropped seeing Seungwan on the stage

Now Seungwan stands on the stage and gets ready to perform after MC invites him for his special stage. He is also nervous as well but he doesn't want to disappoint his best friends. He will do his best to make both of them happy on their special day

“Good evening everyone. I am Son Seungwan. As MC mentioned just now, I will perform a special stage for Seulgi and his fiancé. It has been a while since I sang in front of a crowd but I will do my best for my best friend. As for Seulgi and Irene noona, hope your love lasts forever and gives all the happiness that this world offers. I always root for both of you. You two are in my prayer” Seungwan says sincerely while staring at the couple. Seulgi and Irene sending finger heart to him as their gratitude

“Before I sing, I would like to call upon my special partner. Welcome, Ms. Roseanne” Rose walk gracefully to the stage then bow to the audience “She will sing together with me. Our song title is Please Be Careful with My Heart. Music please”

At the marketing team table, Eunbi stares at Seungwan and his partner that he called, Roseanne, with sad eyes. She enjoyed the party earlier but now her mood has turned bad. She’s hurt seeing Seungwan stare lovingly at another woman. Now both of them looked like a loving couple as they sang while staring at each other with honey dripping from their eyes. She did not deny that the woman is gorgeous and classy while Seungwan looked handsome and masculine in his suit. After Irene and Seulgi, they are another couple that everyone cheer for

Seungwan and Rose's voices successfully make everyone feel the emotion. Their voices sound like professional singers. They sing the song emotionally and express the emotion through their eyes

[Italic – together, (-) – adlib]

[Rose]

If you love me, like you tell me

Please be careful with my heart

You can take it, just don't break it

Or my world will fall apart

You are my first romance, and I'm willing to take a chance

That til life is through, I'll still be loving you

I will be true to you, just a promise from you will do

From the very start, please be careful with my heart

[Seungwan]

I love you and you know I do

There'll be no one else for me

Promise I'll be always true, for the world and all to see

Love has heard some lies softly spoken

And I have had my heart badly broken

I've been burned and I've been hurt before

So I know just how you feel (how I feel),

Trust my love is real for you (I hope that your love is real)

I'll be gentle with your heart, I'll caress it like the morning dew
