A soft breeze ruffles your hair. Faint music is playing in the background and the warm sun rays are cast directly on your face. You are sticking your head out of the car window, enjoying the sight of the buildings blurring by as Chan drives to the beach. You close your eyes, which makes you miss the way your boyfriend fondly gazes at you, before looking back at the road again.

Going on walks near the ocean wasn't a rare occurence for you and Chan- you both found it peaceful, and whenever you had the opportunity to go there, you'd eagerly seize it.

The salty smell of the beach tells you that you are near. That and Chan's warm hand on your thigh, squeezing it lightly, his little signal that you've almost arrived- a habit he developed on your fourth date. He still hasn't let go of it after years of dating.

When you finally arrive, you excitedly exit the car, quickly skipping towards Chan's side of the vehicle. You had this ongoing bet of who will open the door first for the other, and you were adamant on winning it.

"How are you here already? I just parked!" Chan whines as you open the door for him and you giggle at his pouty face.

"I can't help being this fast," you wink and he lays his head on the steering wheel, as if exasperated by your words. But you could see his dimples peeking from where you were standing.

"Come on honey," you urge him and he finally steps out of the car. Your hand finds his, and you lace your fingers together instinctively. He squeezes your hand three times- another endearing habit of his; his silent way of telling you 'i love you' at all times.

You are walking towards the water, when rain droplets start falling on top of you. You pause, looking up at the sky and then at Chan who's deeply frowning.

"Let's keep going, it'll probably stop," you tell him and he nods, resuming your walk.

But the rain doesn't stop, and as you head further down the sand, it only becomes stronger, enveloping you both in a cold bubble.

You pause in your tracks when you notice that someone is laying a clearly unsalvageable picnic down the beach. "Look, someone's food was ruined," you point to Chan but when you turn to look at him, his eyes are shut closed, and his hold on your hand tightens.

"Oh," you gasp softly as realization dawns on you, "is that... our picnic?"

"Mm," he hums in reply and you feel your heart sink in your chest at his defeated tone.

"Baby..." you sigh and he finally looks at you, tears of frustration welling up in his eyes, "Yeah, I didn't plan on the rain falling."

"It's okay," you smile softly at him and he shakes his head adamantly at you, "We haven't been spending too much time with each other and i wanted to surprise you, but it's all ruined now and-", you cut him off with a kiss, gently cupping his cheek and wiping away the water droplets trailing down his face.

You pull away, pecking his face all over until a small giggle leaves his mouth. You grin widely, grabbing his hand and pulling him with you towards the water. You couldn't let a little rain ruin your time with him.

"Come on!" you urge as you start running, which makes the wind feel ten times stronger against your wet skin.

"What are you doing?" Chan shouts so you'd hear him and you turn to look at him, "Have you ever swam while it was raining?"

"We'll get sick!"

"We only live once!" you shout back and that gets him laughing.

You let go of his hand to take off your shoes, before diving first into the beach. "Come on, the water is amazing!"

Chan hesitates for a bit, before following suit. As soon as he walks in you wrap your legs around his waist, and he holds onto your back, pulling you both under the water- his chest tightly pressed against yours. The water clouds your every sense and you can faintly hear the rain ricocheting off the waves.

You wish you could stay here forever, somewhere where it's only you and Chan, and the waves gently brushing against you.

But you both need oxygen so you inevitably have to emerge back, soft gasps escaping your mouths as you breathe air again. The rain falls rapidly on the both of you. It's cold, but Chan's body is warm against yours, and the contrasting sensations make a rush of thrill run within you.

You drop your legs from around Chan's waist, only to climb on top of his back, in an attempt to push him down the water. He doesn't budge so you resort to tickling him until his feet wavers and you manage to do it. You dive seconds after him, opening your eyes slightly to find him. There under the waves, you grab his face between your hands, pressing a quick kiss to his forehead.

You rise up again, and the look on Chan's face is incredibly soft, for you. He looks perfect, t-shirt tightly clinging to his body, highlighting every muscle of his that he worked very hard on. Water droplets gather in his eyelashes, and his dimples are proudly in display, you can't resist the urge to poke them.

"Did you just try to drown me?" he asks, faking offense and you back out slowly.

"Correction. I didn't try, I drowned you."

"Drown me again if it means you'll kiss me like that."

"So cheesy," you grin, his words making your heart skip a beat.

"I'm cheesy?" he asks, suddenly lunging forward towards you, he grabs your body, throwing you over his shoulder and running across the water.

"What if I drown you now?"

"Will you dive after me?" you ask through a fit of giggles.

"I might." You can't see his face, since your only view is of his broad back, but you can clearly hear the smile in his voice.

"Then I don't mind."

"Who's the cheesy one now?" he asks, putting you down gently.

"I learned from the best," you beam at him and he buries his head in the crook of your neck, hiding his growing blush from you.

"How do you do it?" he asks quietly, his breath fanning against your wet skin.

"Do what?" you say just as softly, your hand reaching up to smooth down his discheveled hair.

"Make me feel the happiest."

"I didn't do anything."

Chan's hold on your body tightens, and he sways you gently left and right. As if he's dancing to a melody only he can hear.

"You are magical, being with you is like magic because no one, no one has ever managed to turn all my sad moments into happy ones." Chan clears his throat, pulling away from you slightly. He could feel the emotion bubbling inside him, threatening to spill in the form of unkept tears.

"And I want to feel this way with you, for the rest of my life," he continues, "I wanna be yours- yours to love, and to hug and to smile with. Only yours." The last part comes out in a whisper, as if the oxygen was knocked out of him and his love for you filled his lungs instead.

"You are magical on your own, baby. And you make me happy too Chan, so so happy."

Chan takes in a deep breath, his brown eyes looking deeply into yours. They are like molten amber, scorching your skin in the most delicious way.

"I had a whole thing planned, I promise, and I will- I will do it but I feel as if I don't say the words right now I might explode."

Chan quickly bends down to pick you up once again, running out of the water. As soon as his feet hit the sand he places you on the ground, before kneeling in front of you. On one knee.

"I don't have the ring on me right now, but I need- I need you to know that you are everything to me. Everything. And I want to love you, everyday, for the rest of our lives. On sunny days and on rainy ones. Where we wouldn't notice it's raining because you're light enough on your own. Will you let me, baby? Will you please marry me?"

"Wouldn't it be too cheesy if I said yes?" you manage to say through your tears, as you kneel your turn so you're at the same eye level as him.

"It would. You're right." He teases back, his forehead now pressed against yours.

"I will. I will marry you," you giggle, raw happiness cursing through you. It felt like there were sunrays piercing through your skin, surrounding you both in pools of light only you can see. The joy is overwhelming, and you can't help but throw yourself in his arms until he's laying on the sand and you're on top of him.

"Will you? Really?" he asks bewildered and you fiddle with his right earlobe, a huge grin on your face, "Yes, honey."

"So we're getting married?"

"We are."

"You said yes."

"I said yes."

"And you love me."

"I do love you. more than anything in this world." you lean down to kiss him, sealing your words with your lips moving slowly against his. You've kissed chan a countless times before, yet this one feels slightly different. Maybe it's the rain falling on top of you, or the waves gently brushing against your tangled feet. Or maybe it's the certainty that Chan chose you to love for the rest of his life.

"Let's go home" Chan finally says, breaking apart your kiss. He carries you again, as you grab both of your shoes in your hands. You don't have to link your arms around his neck, you know he won't let you fall.

"I think there is sand in every part of my body."

"Same. Let's take a shower together. To save water, of course."

"Of course," you giggle, "nothing else."

"I can't wait to tell the boys. But I think they'll hit me because they've been planning the proposal with me, and I ended up asking you before it."

"You just couldn't resist me," you singsong and he rolls his eyes playfully at you.

"For the sake of your ego, I choose not to respond."

"Mmm, I still wanna know what you planned."

"It's a secret."

"Please, my pretty fiancé," you pout and he looks down at you, a soft smile on his face, "I love you, and you calling me that is the cutest thing ever, but no."

"Fine. Shower alone then."

Unbeknownst to you, Hyunjin and Han who set up the picnic didn't leave when they noticed the rain falling. The photograph of Chan carrying you, and the rainbow slowly forming in the sky is framed in your home till this day.
