As the stars began to twinkle overhead, Namjoon felt an overwhelming urge to be closer to Hana. He wanted to feel her warmth next to him, to wrap her in the safety of his embrace. With a gentle smile, he reached out, pulling her closer to him.

“Come here,” he said softly, guiding her to sit on his lap. Hana looked at him with surprise, but he only grinned as he wrapped his arms securely around her waist, pulling her against his chest.

She settled comfortably, her back resting against him, and he could feel the way her body relaxed into his embrace. “Is this okay?” she asked, a hint of shyness in her voice.

“More than okay,” he assured her, burying his face in her hair, breathing in the sweet scent that lingered there. “I’ve been waiting for this.”

They both turned their gaze skyward, the vast expanse of the night sky filling them with wonder. The stars shone like diamonds scattered across black velvet, and for a moment, they sat in silence, simply enjoying the magic of the moment. Namjoon felt the weight of the world lift off his shoulders as he held Hana close, her warmth radiating against him.

“It’s beautiful,” she murmured, her voice barely above a whisper. “I’ve never seen so many stars before.”

“It’s even more beautiful because you’re here,” he replied, his voice low and sincere. “I wanted this moment to feel special for you.”

Hana turned her head slightly to meet his gaze, her eyes reflecting the starlight. “You’ve made everything so special, Namjoon. I’m really grateful.”

He tightened his hold on her, feeling a surge of emotion at her words. “I want to keep making you happy,” he confessed. “You’ve brought so much joy into my life.”

She smiled softly, and he could see the sincerity in her eyes. “You’ve changed my life too, you know? This marriage… it started as something I didn’t want, but now…” She trailed off, her voice tinged with emotion.

“Now?” he prompted gently.

“Now I can’t imagine it any other way,” she finished, turning her head to look up at him, her expression earnest and vulnerable.

His heart swelled at her words, and he leaned down, brushing his lips against her forehead tenderly. “I feel the same way,” he whispered, feeling an overwhelming sense of connection between them.

They fell into a comfortable silence once more, both content in each other’s presence. Namjoon couldn’t help but play with her hair, his fingers weaving through the soft strands as he reveled in the intimacy of the moment.

“Do you remember the first time we met?” he asked suddenly, a playful smile tugging at his lips.

Hana laughed softly, a sound that sent warmth coursing through him. “How could I forget? You were so cold and distant.”

“I was just trying to be tough,” he said, feigning seriousness. “Didn’t want to scare you away.”

“Well, you succeeded,” she teased, turning slightly to face him. “But then you warmed up a bit, and now look at us.”

“Now look at us,” he echoed, his heart racing as he locked eyes with her. The intimacy of the moment wrapped around them like a warm blanket, and he leaned in, their lips nearly touching.

“Namjoon,” she breathed, her gaze flickering between his eyes and his lips, anticipation hanging in the air.

Before he could think twice, he closed the distance between them, pressing his lips against hers softly. The kiss was gentle and sweet, a perfect reflection of the love that had blossomed between them.

Hana melted into him, responding to the kiss with a tenderness that took his breath away. The stars twinkled above them, and for that moment, it felt like the universe had aligned just for them.

When they finally pulled apart, both breathless, Namjoon chuckled softly, his forehead resting against hers. “See? Even the stars approve.”

Hana giggled, her eyes sparkling with joy. “They certainly do.”

“Let’s make a wish on a star,” Namjoon suggested, looking up at the sky filled with stars. “What do you want to wish for?”

She pondered for a moment, her brow furrowing adorably. “I wish for us to always be this happy,” she said finally, her voice earnest.

“Me too,” he replied without hesitation. “I wish for our love to continue to grow, no matter what challenges we face.”

“Deal,” she said, her voice laced with determination.

They settled back against each other, comfortable in their shared silence once more. Namjoon continued to trace patterns on her arms, while Hana leaned back, resting her head against his shoulder.

As they gazed up at the stars, he couldn’t help but marvel at how far they had come. What had begun as an arranged marriage had transformed into something beautiful and meaningful—a bond that had grown stronger with each passing day.

After a while, Hana sighed contentedly, breaking the peaceful quiet. “This is perfect,” she said, her voice a soft murmur. “I’ve never felt so at peace.”

“Good,” Namjoon replied, feeling a warmth spread through his chest at her words. “I want you to feel this way every day. You deserve it.”

“Thank you, Namjoon,” she said, her voice sincere. “For everything.”

He pressed a kiss to the side of her head, wrapping his arms around her tighter. “You’re worth it, Hana. I’ll always do my best to make you happy.”

As they sat under the vast sky, wrapped up in each other’s arms, Namjoon realized just how much he had come to cherish her presence in his life. Each moment they shared was a building block, strengthening the foundation of their relationship, and he couldn’t wait to see what the future held for them.

In that serene moment, with the stars twinkling overhead and the gentle sounds of the night surrounding them, Namjoon felt an overwhelming sense of hope. They were embarking on a journey together—one filled with love, laughter, and endless possibilities.

And as he held Hana close, he knew that they would face whatever came their way, hand in hand. This was just the beginning, and he was ready to embrace every moment of it.
