You and Gimyung have been together for what feels like forever. How old were you when you first met? 16, I think. And now you're both 20. So much has happened in those miserable four years. The gang coup, Sinwoo's departure, the fraud, how he ended up in prison, how his involvement with the gang led to one misfortune after another, and Gimyung was always battered from the constant fights; the "Working Men" breaking up the gang, and how everything was brought back together. Even now, when it seemed like a time for a break, a new disaster has struck, in the form of Gimyung's older brother, who has become the head of a Mexican cartel, now wreaking havoc in Korea.

But most importantly, you were always there for him, supporting him, visiting him in prison, taking on most of his responsibilities as gang leader, helping with the bills, helping get Sina out of captivity, tending to his endless wounds, putting up with the lack of money, the busy schedule, and the constant problems. Gimyung never thought anyone would care for him so much. You even managed to endear yourself to his mother, who otherwise didn't care about anything. He couldn't imagine his life without you anymore, so despite the turbulent situation, he decided not to delay.

He bought an engagement ring, carrying the velvet box in his pocket for a whole month, honestly terrified to even mention it. Some part of him still feared you would refuse, that you would realize you deserved better than such a hectic life.

That free Thursday evening turned fateful when Gimyung firmly decided to propose, despite the workload of the investigation. There was nothing particularly special, although he would have been happy to try, but nothing came to mind. Just thinking about the offer made his head go blank. So you just strolled along the river, not far from the street, watching the sunset. Your heart was pounding in your chest, and your palms were sweating. It seemed he had even forgotten how to speak. Maybe he should put this matter off until better times?

"Uh, yeah, hahaha... Lineman trained with that man and now he's acting tough." His voice wavered imperceptibly as he tried to smile as nonchalantly as possible, hiding his slightly trembling, damp hands in his trouser pockets. "He even tried to refuse when I slipped kimchi into his ramen. He's gotten completely bold, and..." He just hoped that his phone would ring and Park Hyun Suk would drag him out to do something, which would give his mind a compelling enough excuse to wait another week.
