As they entered the reserved room, Taeseok naturally escorted Yeoreum. Pulling out the chair, he gently seated her. Yeoreum’s cheeks blushed slightly at his courteous consideration.

“It’s so beautiful here.”

One side of the wall was a full-length window, offering a panoramic view of the Han River. The low classical music created a romantic atmosphere.

As the day receded and the night began, the gradually illuminating night view was lonely yet warm.

The pre-ordered dishes came out in order. A soft pre-meal bread and salad with paprika sauce. The freshness heightened the appetite.

While Yeoreum chattered about her next project, the main course arrived.

“Wow. The steak here is a masterpiece.”

Yeoreum admired and swung her feet continuously after taking a bite. The medium-rare meat melted like snow in her mouth.

“Wow. Steak is always. Especially sirloin.”

“Is it really delicious like that?”

“Yeah, yeah. Really amazing.”

Taeseok laughed heartily at her appearance.

Was there another woman besides Yeoreum who ate so beautifully, with her whole body and face? She might not know how happy she looked when enjoying delicious food.

Of course, Yeoreum in bed was charming, but Yeoreum, who ate well, was no less appealing. Taeseok was as satisfied as a down feather standing up straight.

He made the right choice for a day like today in this place.

“Oppa! Can you order one more for me? Let’s share it. Even if I’m full, I want to eat more.”
The beauty exceeds the limit. I want to say it right away, but.

“I want to, but I ordered cake for dessert. Can you really eat it all?”

Yeoreum calculated diligently but eventually gave up. It’s a shame to leave food uneaten. She laughed, saying the cake would surely be delicious.

“Let’s come again next time.”

Because for us, there’s always a next.

When Taeseok signaled, the cake appeared. It was a lettering cake that read ‘Yeoreum, I love you.’ Even though it was a common event that many people did, Yeoreum was touched. She appreciated the effort put into such a small event.

“Why cake on a random day?”

Simultaneously with those words, Taeseok stood up.

As Yeoreum watched his hand enter his embrace, her eyes widened. What came out of Taeseok’s arms was a small box in a round shape. He approached her.

‘Ah. This is.’

She realized what he was trying to say.

“It’s not just any day.”

Today was definitely not an ordinary day. It seemed like it would be remembered as a special day. Since he seemed determined to make it that way.

How should she respond in a situation like this? She wanted to accept it gracefully and elegantly like the wonderful women in movies, but due to her heart trembling helplessly from the start, she could only fumble.

She looked outside for no reason, feeling a bit emotional. The red sunset poured like velvet. The Han River waves below, illuminated by the red sunset, broke like rubies.

‘Could it be…’

She turned her head and looked inside. Clean white interior caught her eye.

An orphaned gold-framed wall clock, a green frame, a pink flower vase on the table. And in front of Yeoreum, standing with a somewhat nostalgic expression, the best actor in Korea.

She had to remember this moment for a lifetime. A page of the season transitioning from winter to spring, the red sunset twinkling and etching into her whole body.

With trembling eyes, she reached out her hand. Taeseok, with a smile, smoothly put on the ring, fitting perfectly.

“I love you.”

Taeseok added softly that he was sorry for taking too long.

“I bought the ring two years ago for a proposal. I couldn’t wear it in the end due to breaking up. I’m saying the words I couldn’t back then, now. Let me live the rest of my life for you.”

Even in front of numerous cameras, the composed Taeseok was slightly trembling in front of her small hands. Holding onto two hands earnestly, not letting go or squeezing tightly.

“I’ll make you happy every moment you open your eyes. Yeoreum. Let’s live loving each other more every day.”

Hoping that all the seasons ahead of me will be summer.

Taeseok expressed his sincere feelings one by one.

Yeoreum, who gave up being a graceful and elegant woman, was unknowingly crying.

Tears poured out like a child who became an idiot. She knew it would look quite foolish, but she couldn’t seem to stop.
I wanted to look directly at his face, but tears covered my vision, revealing only a blurry silhouette.

“You remembered…….?”

Three years ago when we first started dating, a romantic proposal story that he would often talk about as if it were nothing. Ironically, the person who said it had completely forgotten.

“We’ll eat incredibly delicious food at a fancy restaurant overlooking the Han River. A fantastically delicious taste that makes your eyes open wide. The time will be around sunset. The redder the sunset, the better. Please put on a beautiful ring at that time. Oh! It would be nice to have a cake, too, Oppa!”

“So trivial. What kind of proposal is that? We can do something much more impressive, like buying a yacht and doing it in the sea.”

“I don’t like anything flashy. Everyone will notice on the way to the yacht. Clumsy Kim.”

“Don’t want to be noticed? I’ll remember.”

Yeoreum wiped away tears and looked out the window. The sky outside was perfectly beautiful.

A few small stars twinkled in the reddish sky, which had been painted like watercolors. This fleeting moment became eternal in her heart.

Taeseok waited silently as Yeoreum cried, wiped away tears, looked around again, cried again, and then looked out the window again.

Once all the observations were done, he would look at Taeseok. With eyes more beautiful than the stars in the night sky.

The ring Taeseok chose perfectly matched as expected. Looking at her small hand, he felt an unstoppable excitement.

Finally, Yeoreum turned her head to look at Taeseok. Eyes trembling with joy. Taeseok seemed to know even without hearing. Two hearts had become one completely.

“Oppa. You probably already know the answer, but…”

With all her facial features blushing, Yeoreum spoke.

“…I love you. Make me happy to the point where I can’t handle it every day.”

Thank you for giving me a fantastic day, a small voice followed, but Taeseok swallowed it all up.

His soft lips filled Yeoreum’s lips. The kiss, strong and affectionate without hesitation, was more intense than ever. Yeoreum trembled with happiness from head to toe.

In Yeoreum’s hand, holding onto Taeseok’s back, the ring sparkled, shining brightly. It was a perfect sunset.
