Seungcheol stared at the flight in the night sky. He sighed as he got into his car.

It was when his phone ringed and he picked it up, "Yes, Mr. Kim?"

"Sir, you had a reservation at the farmhouse."

"Oh yeah, I won't be coming Mr. Kim. Don't worry, I'll pay the compensation amount."

"Is everything alright, Mr. Choi?"

"Yeah yeah, an emergency came up. Thank you for your concern."

"It's alright Mr. Choi."

Seungcheol hung up the call and scoffed. He had prepared the best things to make his love confession special but guess what? Today was not the day, probably.

He drove back to his apartment, an empty home. He took a shower, scrolled through his phone for a while and then laid down to sleep. But it was soon when he began to feel extremely anxious.

He woke up while clutching his chest. He looked at the clock, "His flight must be landing soon. I can't sleep anyways, let's wait for his call."

He stood up and walked into the living room. He sat on the sofa when he saw the brand new pocket diary and pen that he had bought for no reason.

It was when an idea struck him.

"So what if I couldn't confess today, I'll definitely make my confession even more special for you." He opened the diary and penned the date, "I'll write everything I'll feel until you come back to me and then gift you this diary on that day with my confession."

He began to write.

First of all, Yoon Jeonghan, I love you.

I've been craving to say this to you since forever. I had planned a lot for us today
but of course, my confession isn't more important than dad's health.

I know you're going to read all of this with the widest smile on your face and
honestly, I'm here for it.

You know, we've been apart due to work a lot of times. But this time I'm too
anxious and restless. Probably because I was too excited to tell those three words to you?

Well, much more than that. But c'mon, no one can separate us, never.

I know you'll be back to me really soon. You promised me, of course.

Love You, I'll write more tomorrow.

He continued writing that diary, hoping for the day when Jeonghan would be in front of him instead of talking over the calls. He really wanted to hand him that diary.

But unfortunately, those diary entries didn't stop, for whole six years...
-

"Took you long enough." Seungcheol wiped the tear that escaped his eyes, "Isn't it a coincidence? You confessed to me on the exact day when I failed to reveal my feelings to you. Only the year changed."

Seungcheol closed the diary as he chuckled bitterly, "I used to think I'm very unfortunate but I'm not. Because I've a lover who forgot everything but not my love. I've a lover who fell for me twice. I've a lover who fulfilled his promise even though he didn't remember it."

"How?" Seungcheol gulped, "I can't believe we're going on a date. A date that I had planned six years ago. A date that I never thought I'll get to go. A date we were destined to."

I want you in my arms
Oh, let me hold you
I'll never let you go again like I did

He inhaled a deep breath as he looked at himself in the mirror, "This time, I won't let you go anywhere. If you do, then I'll come with you. This love, we'll cherish it together.

You're the moon to all of my lonely nights. You know what? Whenever I used to see a shooting star, you're the one I always wished for. I finally got what I wished for. Now, let me hide you in my arms, forever.

Now that I've found you, I won't let you go. You used to say I'm very handsome, but no, what's special in me? Your love for me, is much more special. I've loved you even without you being there then how can I let you go now?

You said you like me, right? But I know, you love me. You'll say it, someday and I'll wait for it patiently. Finally, you'll be in my arms. I'll stare into your beautiful eyes and kiss you slowly.

I'll hold your hand and sway you gently on the beats of soft music. I'll do everything you love. I'll fulfil all my promises. I'll love you, until my last breath.

I'll complete everything that we left behind. I'll guide you to your home. I'll take you towards your happiness. I'll make you believe that I'm the one, the only one, for you, as you said to me, earlier.

I promise."

The clock struck seven as Seungcheol chuckled. He rushed out of him room and made his way to Jeonghan's room. He knocked at the door as it was already open.

And there stood his love, with a bright smile on his face, all dressed for him, looking as gorgeous as ever.

Jeonghan grinned when he saw pure admiration in Seungcheol's eyes. He would do anything to make Seungcheol stare at him like that, forever.

Seungcheol stepped closer to him and offered him his hand, "Let's go, shall we?"

Jeonghan held his hand as he nodded. Both of them made their way out of the mansion towards the car. Seungcheol held the car's gate for him, "Bless me with the honour of your entire attention on me tonight."

"You don't have to ask for it, my entire attention is always on you." Jeonghan chuckled as he got in.

Seungcheol got into the driver's seat and pulled the gear. Jeonghan kept staring at him. How could someone make him feel so safe and secure without even saying a single word?

What was that power that Seungcheol held?

"Jeonghan, do you know, my grandma used to recite the stories of angels as bed time stories to me when I was a kid. She used to define every minute details about them." Seungcheol focused on the road, "And I used to get annoyed. I was like why are you so obsessed with angels and blah blah."

"That's adorable to be honest." Jeonghan replied.

"And do you know what she used to say?" Seungcheol chuckled, "That some day, when I'll get to see an angel in real life, I'll recall her words."

"Angels in real life?" Jeonghan frowned, "That's not possible."

"It is." Seungcheol nodded, "Look at yourself. As pure and devine as an angel. You might not fly around while spreading glitters like they used to do in those stories but you definitely filled a lot of beautiful emotions in my life."

Jeonghan chuckled as he looked away, "You accepted my proposal so easily. Since when do you like me?"

"Since the day I met you." Seungcheol replied, "I might have realised it late but I definitely know that I fell for you since day one."

"I have only one heart Seungcheol." Jeonghan paused, "Don't take it again and again."

"How about I permanently stay there instead?" Seungcheol laughed.

"You're always welcome." Jeonghan nodded.

"We're here." Seungcheol parked the car, "Oh no, wait!" He halted Jeonghan from opening the door. He got out of the car and went on to open the door for him.

"I can get out by myself!" Jeonghan whined.

"I know you can." Seungcheol chuckled, "But with me, you don't have to. Let's go?" He offered him his arm.

Jeonghan wrapped his arm around the older's bicep, "Yeah."

As they walked into the place, Jeonghan saw that it was a beautiful farmhouse in the outskirts of the city which was mildly crowded. Instead of going into the main hall, Seungcheol talked to a staff member who guided them to the backyard of the place which was in contrast, really peaceful.

But it was dark. The lights were probably turned off? Jeonghan was clueless.

It was when Seungcheol escaped his grip and moved away.

"Seungcheol?" Jeonghan called.

"Yeah, just a second." Seungcheol replied after which he unveiled a box and opened it. Soon enough, the fireflies kept inside it began to spread out in the night sky, lighting up every corner where one's eyesight could reach.

Jeonghan stared at them in complete awe. They were beautiful, definitely. Following the fireflies, the lights of the area turned on.

Seungcheol walked back to the younger who was staring at those little creatures dancing under the blanket of stars.

"This is so pretty." Jeonghan mumbled.

"It's not just pretty." Seungcheol stated, "There's another meaning behind this."

"What?"

"Guess."

Jeonghan thought for a while after which he chuckled, "You want to fill my life with lights, just like these fireflies which lit up the dark night?"

Seungcheol held Jeonghan's hand, "With the lights of trust, care, admiration and devotion."

And of course, love.

Jeonghan slowly embraced the older, "Thank you so much." He retracted to stand in front of him, "You always do something which can't even be imagined. I wonder how your heart and mind is built."

Seungcheol turned on the music as he offered his hand, "Shall we?"

Jeonghan nodded as he willingly accepted the offer. He held Seungcheol's hand while placing his other hand on the older's shoulder as Seungcheol slipped his hand around the younger's waist.

They moved little by little, matching their pace with the soft wind and comforting music.

"Jeonghan?" Seungcheol whispered, "Now look at me and listen to what I'm saying. If my words don't make sense to you, I hope my eyes will.

First of all, you're really important to me, Jeonghan. So if you ever feel dejected on yourself, just remember that there's someone whose breaths are solely based on your existence. I know you think you don't know me much but trust me, you do. Just ask yourself once, because I've always been an open book to you.

I'm what you've perceived me since the beginning and that's who you are going to spend your feelings with. If I'm with you then I'm devoted to you, only. There's only one thing that I want from you, your trust. I know it's a very precious thing to ask for, I hope you consider me worthy enough for it."

Oh, I used to say
I would never fall in love again until I found you
I said, I would never fall unless it's you I fall into

Seungcheol told him the truth, indirectly. Yes, Jeonghan knows him, he just has to ask himself. In the beginning, Jeonghan had perceived Seungcheol as someone from his past and it was definitely the truth.

Jeonghan chuckled as he snuggled into his embrace, "You know what Seungcheol? Whenever I'm anxious, the first person that comes to my mind is you. I seek comfort in your arms. That's how much I trust you."

Jeonghan inhaled a deep breath as he looked at the older. Seungcheol held his cheek tenderly, "May I?"

Jeonghan nodded with an assuring look.

Seungcheol leaned in to press his lips against Jeonghan's.

It wasn't just a kiss, it was an unspoken confession.

'I'll always be there for you. Whether you look for me or not, I'll always find you and comfort you.

I Love You

I found you, Jeonghan, I finally found you, my love. Hug me tight and kiss me slow, because you're all I have, darling.'

As they parted away, they stared into each other's eyes and smiled.

They got into their seats as they had a soulful dinner while talking to each other, occassionally teasing and then complimenting one another.

Some things never change, yeah.

The mind may forget but the heart always remebers where it actually belongs.

"I've a present for you." Jeonghan handed over a paper bag to the older.

Seungcheol accepted it as he found a box of luxurious wrist watch and a set of perfume in it, "Thank you so much." He chuckled as he began to unbox it. He removed the watch he was already wearing and wore the one Jeonghan had gifted him.

"How is it?" Jeonghan curiously asked.

"Exactly my style." Seungcheol displayed him proudly. He grabbed the younger's hand and kissed the back of his palm, "See, I told you that you know me."

"Actually, Wonwoo helped me." Jeonghan confessed.

"Still, it counts." Seungcheol nodded as he stood up.

"What was the surprise you were talking about?" Jeonghan asked as he walked beside the older.

"I was coming on it." Seungcheol chuckled, "First of all, promise me, that you won't stress over it, okay?"

"Okay!"

Seungcheol pulled out a rectangular velvet box and opened it in front of Jeonghan, "Here's your surprise."

Jeonghan looked at the pendant which had a platinum chain and a small diamond stone shining in the middle, "It's beautiful."

Seungcheol closed the box and put it on the table beside him. He looked at Jeonghan's confused expression and touched the pendant he was wearing, "You once told me that this chain was gifted to you by someone who loved you a lot. That person was probably someone you loved as well."

Jeonghan nodded while staring at the older.

"If that person comes back into your life, what will happen to us?" Seungcheol asked.

"Nothing?" Jeonghan looked at him in disbelief, "If I was still stuck in my past, I would have never proposed you Seungcheol. I told you my feelings because I mean it. Anyone's arrival or departure won't effect my feelings for you."

"Correct." Seungcheol grinned, "Then remove this pendant and wear mine."

"What?"

"Yes." Seungcheol nodded, "I know you might feel I'm talking non sense but this is what I want, Jeonghan. I'm not asking you to discard it. You can keep it and treasure it forever. After all it is a part of your life but yeah, you need to focus on your present, on me.

Whenever I embrace you in my arms, I don't want this pendant between our hearts. You've all the rights to cherish your past and I've all the rights to ask for your entire attention on me. It's time to let go. Either your past or me."

Seungcheol handed him the box, "And I'm not asking for an immediate answer. Take your time, I'll be waiting patiently."

Jeonghan stared at the box. Was Seungcheol's demand wrong though? Not at all. No one would want a third person, known or unknown between their relationship. Seungcheol was simply asking for his undivided feelings, he had the rights to do so.

It was true. Jeonghan had to choose between his past and present. And he was ready with his decision, even before he had confessed his feelings to Seungcheol.

Jeonghan turned around, his back, facing Seungcheol, "Help me remove it and wear the new one."

"Are you sure?" Seungcheol asked.

"As sure as my feelings for you, Seungcheol. I'm not choosing you, I want you, in my life, forever." Jeonghan inhaled a deep breath, "Do it."

Seungcheol nodded as he unlocked the pendant which he had himself gifted Jeonghan a few years ago. He picked the new one and gracefully clasped it around the younger's neck, marking a new beginning.

I was lost within the darkness
But then I found you
I found you!

Jeonghan turned around as Seungcheol handed him the old pendant. Jeonghan stared at it for a while after which a drop of tear escaped from his eyes.

"I'm sorry for making such demand." Seungcheol mumbled.

"I'm not crying because I removed it." Jeonghan looked up, "I'm happy to have you by my side. I never thought I'll be able to move on. Although I never said it but I myself know it's nearly impossible for me to recall my past. I'm just hurting the people around me by bringing a vanished era of my life every now and then.

Yes I still miss them, yes I still want to meet them. I'll be glad if one day I'll get the chance to recall each and every part of my life. But you know what? I'll always prioritise the people who made my second life, heaven. I don't know what brought us together Seungcheol. I don't know how I suddenly got this courage.

I don't know why I felt a sense of familiarity with you and the whole Rose Quartz team. All I know is that all twelve of you make up my entire life. I don't want to betray you guys. I want to cherish you all just the way you cherish me. Thank you for coming into my life. This Yoon Jeonghan owes you his life."

"He's trying to move on because it's you, please help him heal." Jihyo's voice rang in the older's mind.

Seungcheol engulfed Jeonghan into a tight and warm hug, "I'm proud of you Jeonghan. I didn't know that you'll accept it so early."

"That little trust on me, Choi Seungcheol?" Jeonghan raised a brow.

"No, not at all." Seungcheol cupped his cheeks, "I trust you more than myself and I mean it. I just don't want to push your boundaries."

"I'll not heal until I push my boundaries, Seungcheol." Jeonghan held his hand and kissed his palm, "I know it since the beginning. It's just that, earlier, I didn't have the courage to do so. Now I've you, as my greatest strength. I'm not discrediting my best and only friends but as a matter of fact, you make my heart feel safe.

Your simple gaze on me convey that it's okay to move on. Your gentle hold always manages to convince me that I'm capable of building a new home and no one will hate me for that. Your embrace assures me that I've someone who will be with me even if the entire world will be standing against me."

"I definitely will." Seungcheol kissed Jeonghan's forehead, "Hold my hand and take me wherever you want to. Just stay with me as my final destination."

"Always, I promise."

Seungcheol pulled Jeonghan into his embrace as he thought, 'I would have never hated you for moving on to heal yourself, even if it wasn't me. But guess what? You decided to bless me with your love once again. You decided to keep your heart exclusive for me, until I found you.'

"Will you excuse me for a while?" Seungcheol asked as they were walking around the area.

"What happened?"

"Restroom." Seungcheol mumbled and left. As soon as he reached the washroom, he quickly made a call to his mother, "Mom?!"

"Yeah, cheol. How're you?"

"Mom!" Seungcheol choked on his words, "I- I won. I won his heart once again."

"What? Are you serious?"

"Jeonghan loves me. He said he likes me but I know the truth. He promised to stay with me forever, once again. He's- he's mine. Mom, I'm so happy."

"I know, I know Seungcheol. I trust you. Please bring him to us and his family really soon."

"Of course I will." Seungcheol chuckled as he wiped his tears, "He said he trusts me more than anyone. Do you know how much it means to me?"

"I know Seungcheol. It means the world to you."

A/n : For the first time, I wrote a chapter in one go and I swear my hands were trembling by the end. This book has such unspoken hold on me.

I bet no one thought that Jeongcheol would be the first to date. You might think it's ending soon.

It isn't.

We only reached "I like you". And y'all know me right? I've a lot more to bring to you guys so sit tight.

Take care everyone!
