The date was ready. Except Ava did not know what in the sweet heavens was going to happen to her, because this entire thing was kept a secret from her. Minho had told her to dress well, and by "well," she did not know what to dress in. 

"Let's keep it safe, just in case he is expecting another movie night," she thought to herself, and then dressed in pajamas. 

I think we all face-palmed there. 

She descended the stairs, only to see him dressed in a tuxedo. She halted, and then giggled, "Butler-nim?" 

"Oh?" he was stunned. 

"Can you please say, 'ojou-sama, it's time to go to bed'?" she laughed, clapping her hands.

From that point onwards, Lee Minho knew that this night was going to be eventful. Not in the sexual way, you perverts! The author is calling the cops on y'all.

He grinned and took her hand in his, and her laughter died down, her mien of utter amusement replaced with shock, "Huh?" 

"Ready for a date, baby?" 

"WE'RE GOING ON A DATE?" she screeched, "I'M WEARING PAJAMAS! GOD, GIMME TWO MINUTES AND I'LL DRESS UP-" 

"Those pajamas are pretty cute. They make you look cuter, love," he winked, and she stopped panicking. He continued, "Plus, what's a date with Kim Ava without her personal touch to it?" 

"You flatterer!" she chuckled in relief, and the two walked out of their house, only to cross the boundaries and walk into Jisung's lawn, "What are we doing here?" 

"You'll see," Minho spoke with a twinkle in his eyes. 

Still holding her hand, he lead her further into the lawn, and she could now see a mattress and pillows on the grass, along with drinks on tables set beside it. Her eyes lit up, "This is cute! Stargazing, huh?" 

"It doesn't end here," he spoke smugly, setting her down on the mattress and settling in beside her, "The weather's good, right?" 

"Mhm!" 

"So is the food," Minho clapped his hands twice, and Chan, Changbin, and Jisung emerged from Jisung's house, dressed in actual butler's outfits, holding up trays of food. In another universe, one would say that the author has a 3RACHA butler fantasy (shut up, she doesn't). 

Ava gasped, "Guys!" 

"We have three different cuisines, prepared by Hyunjin and Miss Kanta, our trusted chefs," Minho pointed at the two of them standing by the door of the house, waving at her. She waved back, her smile the widest. 

"Trusted chefs? With one of them spilling black bean sauce on his pants?" Ava giggled, and Hyunjin whined in protest. 

"Say, what would you like to have? European, Thai, or Indian?" 

"Can I trust them with my stomach?" 

"We're gonna do that together, I guess." 

"Let's choose the safest option, then: Indian," Ava trusted Miss Kanta with her cooking skills. Also because the author is Indian, so we're biased here. 

Changbin placed the Indian dishes before them, and the three of them scurried back inside. As Ava tasted the food, she groaned, "This is so good!" 

"I know right? This is my first time trying this out," Minho remarked, and Miss Kanta was proud-proud. 

As the two ate, Minho clapped his hands again, saying, "How about some background music?" 

"Really?" Ava's eyed grew bigger, her grin widening. 

Jake and Jay ran out of the house with violins in their hands, and Seungmin and Jeongin rushed after them, holding Bluetooth mics. Ava laughed in ecstasy as Seungmin cleared his throat, and him and Jeongin began singing Love Scenario by iKon, with Jake and Jay changing the vibe with their violins. You thought you forgot that song? Not anymore. 

Ava swung side to side as they sang, and Minho shifted to her side, back-hugging her and making her elicit a small giggle. As the two revelled in the rhythm of the music, the author could see the readers sobbing over not having this kind of a love story. Sucks to be you, I guess! 

(If you listen closely, you would hear the author bawling)

The song ended, and Ava and Minho clapped for them, and the four artists bowed before walking back into the house; not without Seungmin saying, "I should get paid for this." 

Ava laid back on the mattress, dragging Minho along, and the two breathed in utter silence for a moment, before Ava pointed out at the constellations sprawled on the night sky above them, "I don't know shit about constellations, but this one is the prettiest one I've seen yet." 

"Yeah, it's the prettiest. Look closer," he pointed at the stars, and she looked closely, when he smugly spoke, "It's the prettiest because it looks like you." 

She turned to him, a blush on her cheeks, and she chuckled, "Smooth." 

"I know, baby." 

He sat up, and she did, too, imitating him, and sitting before each other, he grasped both her hands, her softer ones tickling the skin on the underside of his hands, and he sincerely spoke, "I really don't know how to begin with this; I've never done this before." 

Ava raised a brow, amused, and he continued, "I don't know if this is going to be the correct way of saying it, or expressing whatever I feel about you, but I need to let you know that I have fallen head-over-heels for you. All my life, I've done what I felt was right, and now, being with you... it feels right. So right. And I need you to be by my side as I decide what's right and what isn't -- not just for me, but for us."  

She breathed heavily as his face inched closer to hers, and he whispered near her lips, "Can I call you mine, Kim Ava? Would you take me as your boyfriend?" 

He did not need a verbal response, as she cupped his cheeks and pressed her lips to his. Pouring in all of her feelings, her lips moved perfectly with his, moulded for him. And at this very moment of pure affection, nothing could disturb them; there were no distractions. 

Until Felix squealed the girliest squeal ever, "THEY KISSED! GUYS, LOOK! THEY'RE KISSING! THEY'RE MAKING BABIES!" 

Ava chuckled into the kiss, and the two broke the kiss, both of them laughing with a red hue on their faces. 

That was when Felix came to put forth the final stage of the date, "Guys! Sorry to disturb, but I think y'all forgot the brownies I made! Eat well, fuck well, and I'll get going! Bye!~" 

Minho sighed, shaking his head in amusement, "I should give him the credit; Felix arranged half the date by himself." 

Ava turned to all the boys peeking out of the door (even Miss Kanta was peeking through the window), and she clapped, cheering, "Thank you, guys! Y'all did well!" 

"Of course!" Jisung cheered back, "Now give us small babies and-" 

Hyunjin jumped him right at that second.
