The week had been relatively calm, with school routines and everyday activities settling back into place. Soyoung and Chaewol had been enjoying their time together, but neither had expected the surprise that awaited them.
It was a crisp Saturday morning when Chaewol showed up at Soyoung’s house with a bright smile and a twinkle in his eye. He was carrying a large, neatly wrapped box.
“Good morning, Soyoung!” Chaewol greeted her cheerfully as she opened the door. “I brought you something.”
Soyoung blinked in surprise, her curiosity piqued. “Good morning, Chaewol! What’s this?” She gestured to the box.
Chaewol grinned, his eyes sparkling with excitement. “It’s a surprise! I thought we could do something fun today, and I wanted to start with this.”
Soyoung’s eyes widened as she took the box from him. “You’re making me even more curious now. Let’s see what it is!”
She carefully unwrapped the box, revealing a beautiful pair of matching scarves—one for her and one for Chaewol. Each scarf was a soft, luxurious fabric in a rich shade of blue, with a subtle pattern that seemed to shimmer in the light.
“These are gorgeous!” Soyoung exclaimed, her eyes bright with delight. “Thank you, Chaewol! But why matching scarves?”
Chaewol chuckled, taking her hand and guiding her outside. “I thought it would be fun for us to wear them during our adventure today. Plus, it’s a little something to remind us of this day.”
Soyoung smiled warmly, touched by the thoughtful gesture. “That’s so sweet of you. I’m really looking forward to our adventure.”
They both wrapped the scarves around their necks, their matching colors adding a touch of charm to their outfits. As they walked out of Soyoung’s house and into the cool, crisp air, Chaewol held the door open for her with a playful bow.
“After you, milady,” he said with a grin.
Soyoung laughed, curtsying in return. “Thank you, kind sir.”
Chaewol led the way to a nearby park, where they had planned to spend the day. The park was bathed in golden sunlight, with leaves fluttering gently in the breeze. They found a cozy spot under a large oak tree and spread out a blanket.
“This looks perfect,” Soyoung said, settling down on the blanket. “What do we have planned for today?”
Chaewol sat beside her, pulling out a picnic basket from a large bag. “Well, I packed us a little picnic, and I thought we could just relax and enjoy the day. After that, I have a surprise activity planned.”
Soyoung’s eyes sparkled with anticipation. “I love surprises! What’s the activity?”
Chaewol handed her a sandwich and a small container of fruit. “You’ll see soon enough. For now, let’s enjoy this picnic.”
They spent the next hour chatting, laughing, and enjoying their picnic. The conversation flowed easily, with Soyoung and Chaewol sharing stories and anecdotes from their lives. The atmosphere was relaxed and filled with warmth.
After they finished their meal, Chaewol stood up and stretched. “Ready for the next part of our adventure?”
Soyoung nodded eagerly. “Definitely! What’s the surprise?”
Chaewol led her to a nearby hill that overlooked the park. At the top, there was a small, charming kiosk that rented out bicycles. He handed Soyoung a helmet and a bike. “How about a bike ride? I thought it would be fun to explore the park from a different perspective.”
Soyoung’s eyes widened with excitement. “That sounds amazing! I haven’t been on a bike in ages.”
Chaewol helped her adjust her helmet and then put on his own. “Perfect. Let’s go!”
They rode through the park, their laughter echoing through the trees. The wind rushed past them, and Soyoung felt a sense of freedom and joy. Chaewol rode beside her, occasionally glancing over with a playful grin.
“Watch out for that squirrel!” Chaewol called out, pointing to a small creature darting across the path.
Soyoung laughed, her eyes sparkling with amusement. “I think it’s more afraid of us than we are of it.”
Chaewol slowed down and took Soyoung’s hand, giving it a gentle squeeze. “I’m really enjoying this, Soyoung. It’s so nice to spend this time together.”
Soyoung looked at him, her heart fluttering. “Me too, Chaewol. This has been one of the best days ever.”
After their bike ride, Chaewol led Soyoung to a small, picturesque lake with a rowboat dock. “And now, for the final surprise.”
Soyoung’s eyes widened in delight. “A rowboat ride? This is so romantic!”
Chaewol smiled and helped her into the boat. They both settled into their seats, and Chaewol began to row them out onto the lake. The gentle lapping of the water and the soft rustling of the leaves created a peaceful ambiance.
As they floated on the serene lake, Chaewol looked at Soyoung with a tender expression. “Soyoung, I just want to say that being with you makes me incredibly happy. I’m grateful for every moment we spend together.”
Soyoung’s heart swelled at his words. She reached over and took his hand. “Chaewol, you mean so much to me. I feel so lucky to have you in my life.”
They shared a quiet, intimate moment, their hands intertwined as they floated on the lake. The setting sun cast a warm, golden glow over them, making the scene even more magical.
As they returned to the dock, Chaewol helped Soyoung out of the boat and wrapped his arm around her. “I hope you enjoyed today as much as I did.”
Soyoung smiled up at him, her eyes filled with affection. “I had a wonderful time. Thank you for everything.”
Chaewol leaned in and gave her a soft, lingering kiss. “I’m glad. I can’t wait for all the adventures we’ll have in the future.”
As they walked back to the park entrance, hand in hand, Soyoung felt a deep sense of contentment. The day had been filled with laughter, romance, and cherished moments, and she knew that her relationship with Chaewol was something truly special.
When they reached Soyoung’s house, Chaewol turned to her with a warm smile. “I had an amazing time today. I hope you did too.”
Soyoung nodded, her heart full of happiness. “Absolutely. Thank you for making it such a memorable day.”
Chaewol kissed her gently on the forehead. “I’ll see you soon. Sweet dreams.”
As Chaewol walked away, Soyoung watched him with a smile. She felt incredibly grateful for the love and joy he brought into her life. With a heart full of happiness and a day filled with wonderful memories, Soyoung headed inside, eager to see what the future held for her and Chaewol.
