Peninsula: Don’t just fall in love on Fridays

Chapter 507: Final Chapter: Our story continues

March 12 last year.

For Kang Do-hwan and Bae Joo-hyun, these are days that are still fresh in their memory.

They hugged, kissed and fell in love in Hokkaido, which is a beautiful memory that will accompany them for a lifetime.

December 12th of this year is also a busy day at the end of the year.

Since last night, Bae Joo-hyun has been looking forward to the one-year anniversary of their relationship, to the point that she has been suffering from insomnia like an elementary school student.

She slept until the afternoon and then hurriedly gave herself a facial SPA in order to spend her first anniversary in a better condition.

Bae Joo-hyun also specifically asked Son Seung-wan, who usually uses a film camera to record her life, to borrow her mirrorless camera so that she could shoot a Vlog to remember everything that happened today.

Sun Chengwan rarely acted like a worried old mother. Before Ouni went out, she did not forget to remind her again and again how to use the camera, worried that she would make mistakes and end up not recording anything.

"Unnie! Remember to take off the front cover! Otherwise we won't be able to see your beautiful face!"

"I know! You've reminded me seven or eight times. I'm not stupid!"

Jiang Seulgi, who appeared out of nowhere, also held a few cups of instant noodles and said with concern:
"Unnie, do you want to bring some more instant noodles? Or some meat or something? Isn't there a car refrigerator? It shouldn't go bad if you put it in there."

Kim Ye-rin was even more exaggerated, holding a kitchen knife in her left hand and a baseball bat that she bought at some unknown time in her right hand.

She also gently waved the baseball bat in her hand and said seriously:

"Yes, you can also bring some weapons for self-defense!"

Bae Joo-hyun didn't expect that when she went out, her sisters started to worry about her.

She rolled her eyes speechlessly and complained:
"I'm going camping, not wilderness survival!"

After saying this, Bae Joo-hyun hurriedly left after saying "See you tomorrow".

Park Soo-young, who was lying on the peephole, could see her clearly as she hummed a song and shook her head while waiting for the elevator.

Kang Seul-ki frowned in worry. She wasn't worried that the camping would go wrong. She was just worried that something would go wrong with Do-hwan's carefully prepared proposal.

Thinking of this, she looked at the other three people and asked:
"I think Ernie won't be suspicious, right?"

Sun Chengwan, who has always been cautious in doing things, patted his chest and said confidently:

"Definitely not. When I gave everyone the group rings, she didn't have the slightest doubt."

"Speaking of which, should we give you the money for the group ring?"

"No, no, Zhao Huan has reimbursed you all, hahahahaha!"

"As expected, Do Hwan, the best brother-in-law!"

Jiang Zhaohuan, who was praised by them, now found it difficult to smile. He also suffered from insomnia last night. The dark circles under his eyes were so thick that the first thing he did after getting up at noon was to run to the beauty salon to get a make-up.

I don’t know what magic the beauty salon chair has, but with the word “proposal” in his mind, he actually managed to sleep for two hours while sitting there.

Kang Do Hwan almost missed the time to pick up Bae Joo Hyun. He hurriedly put on a scarf, strode out of the beauty salon, and drove the ADRIA RV he bought to the dormitory building where Red Velvet had just moved in.

Bae Joo-hyun, wearing a white down jacket and dragging a suitcase in her hand, went around to the passenger seat but found that there were no handlebars.

She tilted her head with a puzzled look on her face, stretched her neck to try to see what was going on inside the car, and noticed her boyfriend leaning over the steering wheel with his shoulders shaking.

Jiang Zhaohuan originally thought that Bae Zhuxuan was not particularly short, but when he saw her standing in front of the tall RV today, he suddenly thought that his girlfriend was extremely cute.

Especially when he saw her trying to stand on tiptoe, he couldn't help laughing and just lay down and laughed secretly.

"Ah! Jiang Zhaohuan, what are you laughing at?"

Even though he is small and usually speaks in a low voice, his voice can become very loud when he is angry.

Jiang Zhaohuan held back his smile and opened the car door. He walked around to the passenger seat, took the suitcase from Pei Zhuxuan, and said with a smile:

"This RV's passenger compartment doesn't have a door, so you can just get in from this side."

He pressed the car key to open the side door of the RV and stuffed the box into the luggage space outside.

Bae Joo-hyun glared at Do-hwan angrily. She still cared a lot about people talking about her height.

She knew that Do-hwan bought an RV, but this was the first time he used it.

Opposite the entrance is the kitchen counter and refrigerator area. At the end of the left side is a large bed that fills the entire space and can be transformed into a leather sofa when you are not sleeping.

On the right hand side is the driving area, where the view is very wide and the seat can be rotated.

The RV is not very big, but the equipment inside is very complete. The most important thing is that there is a skylight above the bedroom area, so you can lie on the bed and look at the stars at night!
Bae Joo-hyun couldn't wait to sit in the passenger seat. She has always liked camping, but her friends around her had no interest in it, including her members.

So on this first anniversary, Do Hwan took the initiative to take her camping, and she was really happy.

"Where are we going this time? Gyeonggi Province or South Chungcheong Province?"

Apparently Bae Joo-hyun has done her homework on camping, as both places have very famous camping spots.

Jiang Zhaohuan shook his head. Those two places were indeed popular camping sites, but he felt that he would be disturbed.

For something like proposing, he didn't want a lot of people to witness it, as it would become troublesome.

"Neither. I chose Gangwon-do Wangxiang Camping Resort. We have an RV and don't need to go to crowded places. We can choose a place with few people to camp directly."

"I remember there's a sea over there, right? I'm really looking forward to it~"

Before becoming a trainee, Bae Joo-hyun had always lived in Daegu where there was no sea, so she longed for the sea very much.

She also likes to listen to white noise before going to bed. It must be romantic to fall asleep accompanied by the sound of waves.

It takes less than two hours to drive from Seoul to Gangwon-do.

The peninsula is small, so it is convenient to get around. Even if you drive to Jeju Island, it only takes four or five hours.

It was three o'clock in the afternoon when we arrived near the Gangwon-do Wangsang Camping Resort.

Bae Joo-hyun excitedly took out equipment such as awnings from the car. Even though it would be dark in two hours, everything needed to be prepared to create a camping atmosphere.

While squatting on the ground and lighting a bonfire, Jiang Zhaohuan kept an eye on Bae Zhuxuan's situation, worried that she might accidentally pinch her hand due to improper operation.

However, my girlfriend is more independent than I thought and has strong hands-on skills.

For some places that required some strength, she didn't ask for help, but just gritted her teeth and unscrewed them herself.

Jiang Zhaohuan got into the car, opened the refrigerator, and took out all the food stored in it.

He spent a lot of money on this camping trip and bought a grill that can accommodate a lot of food.

The tomahawk steak, spicy stir-fried rice cakes and cheese hot pot that Bae Joo-hyun specifically ordered all require some skills to make.

Fortunately, Jiang Zhaohuan’s cooking skills are pretty good, and he has improved a lot, especially after falling in love.

"I can already smell the aroma of steak. Did you add rosemary?"

"Yes, I adjusted it according to your taste."

Bae Joo-hyun doesn't like eating medium-rare steak, so Kang Do-hwan cooked his tomahawk steak to 70% done. He cut the meat into small pieces that were easy to eat and sprinkled pepper and salt on the side of the plate.

In order to adjust the appetite, he also prepared lemon, and when you feel tired of eating, you can pour a little bit of it to add a different flavor.

With nothing to do, Bae Joo-hyun was naturally responsible for eating. She picked up the bread piece on the skewer and turned it around in the cheese hot pot.

The rich aroma of milk filled her mouth, and she frowned subconsciously and gently patted her boyfriend who was cutting meat.

"Hmm~ It's really delicious. Would you like to try it too?"

Jiang Zhaohuan tilted his head, opened his mouth, and bit the piece of bread handed to him by his girlfriend.

There is no reason why cheese hotpot cannot be delicious, cheese is power!

But meat and cheese would be a bit greasy, so he stood up and took out champagne from the freezer.

Champagne at room temperature is soulless. Even if the temperature outside is a bit cold, you still have to drink it iced.

"Did you prepare the champagne?"

"Soju and cheese fondue don't go well together, do they?"

"That's true~!" After dinner.

The campfire made crisp crackling sounds, the sound of flames moving.

Bae Joo-hyun had unknowingly moved the wooden chair in front of Do-hwan. She rested her head on her boyfriend's arms, half-closed her eyes and admired the sunset at dusk.

On the beach in the distance, you can see men, women, young and old playing and having fun, and young couples holding selfie sticks to record their love moments.

Jiang Zhaohuan placed his chin lightly on his girlfriend's head, and raised his hand to play with the loose hair hanging by her ears.

I dyed my hair frequently in the past few years, and my hair has become much rougher than before, and it feels a little itchy when I touch it.

"Do Hwan."

"Ok?"

"Do you think we will be like them in the future?"

Jiang Zhaohuan looked up in the direction that Zhu Xuan pointed, and noticed a little girl squatting on the beach, seriously building her own castle. Then the little boy kicked it and knocked the castle down.

The boy realized his mistake and was a little flustered.

The father, who was admiring the sunset nearby, immediately chased after the little boy and tried to slap his butt to teach him a lesson for being naughty.

The mother smiled, squatted down and began to comfort the girl. You can tell without thinking that her expression must have been very gentle.

Jiang Zhaohuan withdrew his observation gaze, shook his head, and said in a low voice.

"The two kids are a bit tired. You will definitely be with the kids and not with me."

Bae Joo-hyun sighed helplessly. She found that sometimes her boyfriend was even more clingy than herself. It was really like raising a large dog, always wagging its tail and wanting her to act coquettishly with him.

"Ah~ Don't be so childish. It's not like I don't want you anymore just because I have a child."

"That's good."

Jiang Zhaohuan calculated the time silently in his mind, and the frequency of his swallowing became faster and faster. There was no other way. No one would not be nervous about something like proposing.

So when he heard Zhu Xuan's sudden question, he didn't know how to answer.

"Honestly, Dohwan, have you ever been disappointed in me?"

"What do you mean?"

Bae Joo-hyun has wanted to ask this question for a long time, and she has always been very curious.

She raised her body and tilted her head, looking at the handsome face so close to her, and said seriously:
"It's just... As an idol, you definitely have a persona. When I met you before, I didn't show too much of myself. Did you fall in love with Irene on stage first?"

"I've said it before, I like both Irene and Bae Joo Hyun."

In fact, Jiang Zhaohuan also thought about it for a long time, when did he fall in love with Bae Zhuxuan?

He had found the answer some time ago. He leaned over and kissed her forehead with a gentle voice.

"You scream when you're timid, you frown when you eat something delicious, and you hit people when you're shy and angry. In fact, Irene and Bae Joo-hyun are not separate, but Bae Joo-hyun contains Irene.

So I think there is no order of priority. You are the one I like all the time, so why would I be disappointed? "

Bae Joo-hyun widened her eyes in surprise; she didn't expect him to answer like that.

Sure enough, he understands me better than I thought. He is really a competent boyfriend.

"Very good answer, now it's time for reward~"

"Can the reward be moved back a bit? I need to go to the bathroom."

"Ah! You actually want to... forget it, just go!"

Jiang Zhaohuan walked quickly towards the car. After making sure that Bae Zhuxuan would not pay attention to this side, he quickly took out the clothes he had hidden in the closet.

He took out the box he had prepared long ago and put it in his pocket, and even his movements to get out of the car became very cautious.

So when she sat back in her seat, Bae Joo-hyun was startled by the movement behind her. She turned her head and raised her hand to put it on the other person's shoulder.

But what she didn't expect was that the man who came into her sight was exactly the same as he was four years ago.

The pink suit and white shirt are the same ones he wore at the Music Bank announcement ceremony.

Pei Zhuxuan put down her raised hand, smoothed out the slight wrinkles on her suit, and asked with a smile:

"How did you get the style back then? It must have been hard to get."

"This is the previous set. It has been kept in the closet."

Even though Jiang Zhaohuan doesn't like pink, this pink suit is a precious memory of his and he can't help but keep it as a treasure.

He smiled and pulled the thin wire tied to the chair leg, and the neon light hanging on the RV lit up.

The balloon hidden on the driver's side slowly rose to a certain height, and the photos stuck on it silently told their own stories.

Bae Joo-hyun's heart seemed to skip a beat. Everything that caught her eyes was what she had been looking forward to for a long time.

Just when she wanted to see the photo on the balloon clearly, Jiang Zhaohuan had already come up to her, took out the ring box he had prepared long ago, and said with a smile:

"Joo Hyun, will you marry me?"

"No, put it on me first!"

Jiang Zhaohuan was stunned when he heard that. He lowered his eyes and opened the ring box, but his whole body froze in place.

Because the ring box was... empty.

How is it possible? He clearly put the ring in there, why did it disappear?!

"Why is there no ring? Didn't you prepare anything?"

"No, no, I...I'm prepared!"

Jiang Zhaohuan had never been so anxious before, he was so anxious that his eyes were a little red.

He staggered to his feet and tried to check the inner pocket of his backpack where the ring box was placed, to see if he had been too nervous and had forgotten to put it separately.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Zhaohuan just stood up and his arm was pulled. He turned around in confusion and saw Pei Zhuxuan slowly stood up and said with a smile:

"Since you don't have a ring, why don't I propose to you?"

"Hey?"

Bae Joo-hyun took out the ring hidden in the pocket of her down jacket. In fact, she had already discovered that Do-hwan was preparing to propose to her, but she just pretended not to know.

She smiled and put the men's ring on Do-hwan's ring finger, raising her eyebrows.

"You are mine now~"

Jiang Zhaohuan stood there blankly, not reacting for a moment.

How did the ring appear from Zhu Xuan's hand?
"You...took it?"

"Some idiot forgot it under his pillow!"

Jiang Zhaohuan covered his cheeks in annoyance. He then remembered that he was worried that the ring would be lost, so he secretly put it under his pillow every night, hoping that his proposal would be successful.

Unexpectedly, such a misunderstanding occurred.

"You already knew?"

Bae Joo-hyun stretched out her hand in front of him and waved it. It was no longer a hint, but a clear statement.

"Well, but I'm still surprised by what you've prepared for me. Is it time for the reward now?"

The ring was slowly pushed in, and he couldn't bear it any longer and held her in his arms.

From today on, she is his fiancée.

Bae Joo Hyun gently rubbed her head against Do Hwan's chest, then raised her head and asked:
"Just a hug?"

"Of course more than that."
