Of Locks and Rings

World of Color

When you woke up the next morning, you were still tucked in against him. You looked up at his sleeping face. You hated to admit it, but he wasn’t the most attractive sleeper. His hair was a mess and his mouth was hanging open. But despite this, you couldn’t help but feeling like the luckiest girl in the world.

You reached up and ran your fingers through his hair, causing him to stir. He opened his eyes a little, peeking out at you. He smiled a little.

"That’s the most beautiful sight I could ever wake up to." He mumbled, his voice hoarse. You blushed and kissed his cheek before getting out of bed.

"You can sleep a little longer Oppa. I’m going to take a shower." You saw him nod and his eyes slip shut again.

After you showered and dressed, you went back to your bedroom. You found him sitting up, but only half awake, looking at something on his phone. You sat down next to him, resting your chin on his shoulder and looking down at it as well.

"What is it oppa? You’re not getting called back in right?"

He shook his head and told you it was just one of his group members asking where he had been all night. He showed you the text as he spoke and you two then played around making up outlandish excuses for where he had been.

Shortly after, he went to wash up and you went out to make breakfast. You remembered he liked your western breakfast before, so you decided to do it again. You made waffles for the both of you and just as you set them out to eat, he came into the kitchen fully dressed in a pair of basketball shorts and a t-shirt. Even dressed so casually you couldn’t help but find him stunning.

After eating, he whined about wanting to go outside since it was a gorgeous summer day. You were worried about people recognizing him, but he eased your concerns. He ended up deciding to go to the park. You both changed into nicer clothes to go out in and he disguised himself. You then headed out to the park.

He led you around the park, the two of you just enjoying the day. Suddenly he started bouncing around like a kid.

"Jagi!!! Can we do that? Please? Please please please?" You looked over to where he was pointing. You saw the the Wall of Love Locks and blushed. You smiled and he knew you wanted to.

He led you to a little gift shop and you two picked out a lock and little notes to write on. You wrote your notes separately and then went up to the wall to find a spot. When you found one, you read each others notes, smiling and holding hands. Then he attached the notes to the lock and locked it on the wall.

You both took a picture of your lock on your phones and then started taking pictures with it. He whined about wanting to take a picture in which you could actually see his face. You were worried about him taking off his hat and sunglasses, but he promised to be quick about it. He took them off, posed with you, and snapped a couple photos. He quickly put the hat and glasses back on.

You looked around and you were pretty sure no one had noticed. There was a group of three girls looking your direction, but you figured they were just watching people put locks on the wall. Still, it made you a little nervous. He couldn’t calm your fears this time so he took your hand and led you around a few little shops on your way home.

He stopped at one and was looking in the window. You followed his eyes and saw he was looking at couples rings.

"Jagiya, can we get a pair? If we put a love lock on the wall, we need couples rings." His eyes were searching your face, watching for your reaction. You couldn’t help but smile at him. Couple rings weren’t popular in America, but since you had seen them in so many k-dramas, you had dreamed of buying them with someone for years.

"I think we need them too Oppa." You tugged on his hand to pull him into the shop. The two of you looked at display cases with all sorts of designs. As you stood looking, you watched his eyes travel to a different case. He stared at it for a few moments and then returned his attention to the case of couples rings in front of you.

You pointed out a particular set to him and he had one of the salespeople pull them out. You tried them on, and found them to fit perfectly. While he went over to pay for your new rings, you snuck over to the case he had been looking at earlier. Inside it were diamond rings.

Diamond, engagement rings.

You felt your heart stop and then start pounding at an enormous speed. Was he thinking about marriage already? The two of you hadn’t been together long yet, but the more you stared at the rings, the more you could picture your life with him. You shook it from your mind and went back over to him. As the two of you headed out of the shop, he took your hand again and led you home.

———————————————

The rest of the evening was rather uneventful until after dinner. The two of you were cuddled together on the couch when he reached for the box of couple rings. He had insisted on doing something cute rather than just putting them on in the shop.

"Jagi," you looked up at him, “I love you with all my heart. I know our relationship isn’t easy, but I’m so glad you literally fell into my life. I promise to love you and always put you before everything else." As he spoke, he slide your ring onto your finger. When he finished, you reached for his.

"Oppa, I promise to always love you and keep you in my heart. I can’t imagine my life without you." It all felt cheesy, but perfect at the same time. You slid his ring onto his finger and then you held your hands out to look at them with the matching rings on. You both smiled and laughed, wrapping your arms around each other and kissing. After one particularly passionate kiss, he pulled back and stared into your eyes.

"I love you jagiya. So, so much." You smiled a little and as you stared into his eyes, you knew you were ready for the next step in your relationship. It had only been yesterday you were convinced it was too soon, but suddenly it seemed like so much had changed and that your relationship had grown a lot in just one day. You stood up from the couch and pulled him with you.

"I love you too, Oppa." And with that, you pulled him into the bedroom.
