Final. (1/2)
Gwiboon was staring at the simple band on her right ring finger. It was Minho's gift to her during their third year anniversary. They were twenty-one that time, both studying in the same university."What's this?" Gwiboon asked after Minho slipped the ring on her finger.
"That's a promise ring. It symbolizes how much I love you and how I plan to spend the rest of my life with you."
It sounded so cheesy. But this is Minho talking. And he wasn't just talking to anyone, he was talking to her girlfriend. Gwiboon would have teased him too. But she knew that it wasn't the appropriate time for that. Instead, she smiled.
"I hope you keep your promise, Choi Minho."
"Don't worry love, I will." Minho said with a cheeky smile.
"Wait, you also have a ring, right?"
"Yep." Minho said while raising his right hand, showing the same ring Gwiboon had.
She knew that they still had a long way to go. But she held onto Minho's promise. Because she knew that Minho also intended to stay true to his words.Gwiboon smiled at the memory. It was such a nice feeling that after five years, their relationship was still going strong. With everything she had right now (supportive family, lovely friends, stable job, and the best boyfriend ever) she just couldn't ask for more.
She was still caught up reminscing the things she and Minho went through when the space beside the couch dipped. She looked to her right and saw Minho smiling beside her.
"Why're you smiling like that?"
"Nothing. I just remembered something. Game?"
"Yep." Minho said putting his arms around Gwiboon's shoulders while she pressed the 'play' button on the remote.
It was movie night for them. They always had one night in the week where they watched movies and ate pizzas and popcorns together. It often ends with them just talking rather than watching the movie, though. This was something that began during their college days. Movie nights was their way to spend time together, specially when they got too busy to go out on actual dates. And until now, they still manage to find time for movie nights.
Halfway through their movie, Gwiboon observed that Minho was uneasy. He kept shifting positions on the couch.
"Minho, are you alright?"
"Yes I am babe."
"If you say so."
They went back to watching the movie. After a while, the door bell rang.
"I'll get it." Minho said, standing up.
When Minho returned, he was carrying something which seemed to be a box of cake.
"I ordered mini cupcakes for us earlier. You know, the ones you love very much."
"Oh. What flavor is it?"
"Red Velvet for you and Carrot for me."
Gwiboon smiled. This was the outcome of almost a decade of being together.
"Shall we eat, my love?"
"We shall, babe."
