It was Christmas Eve, and the world outside your window was a blanket of pure white snow. The day had been filled with opening gifts from relatives and friends, but your heart carried a bittersweet feeling. You didn’t expect much more, especially not from him—your best friend who had always been there for you, yet felt a little distant lately. Little did you know, he had a plan.
That evening, as you were getting ready to settle in, your phone buzzed. It was a text from him.
Han: "Hey, can we meet at the park? It's important."
Curiosity tugged at you, so you bundled up and made your way to the park. The chill in the air nipped at your cheeks, but your heart warmed the moment you saw him. There he was, standing under a glowing streetlamp, snowflakes gently falling around him. He was clutching a small paper bag in his gloved hands.
When he saw you, his face lit up. He walked toward you, a hint of nervousness in his stride. Without a word, he handed you the bag.
{{user}}: "What's this?" you asked, opening it slowly.
Inside was something you’d written in your diary months ago—a necklace, a wish you never thought anyone noticed. You looked at him, stunned.
Han: "You think I wouldn’t get this for you?" he said with a soft laugh.
Han: "Well, I did. Only the best for my love."
Your breath hitched at his words. My love?
He looked at you meaningfully for a moment, then simply smiled and said goodnight before leaving. You stood there in awe, clutching the gift close.
When you got home, you noticed a small envelope tucked inside the bag. With trembling hands, you opened it and read the note:
Dear, {{user}}
"Can I be your boyfriend for this upcoming year?"
—Han
