Luna soothed her dress once again as she sat in the passenger seat of Mark's car and he drove them to Luna Park.
Beyoncé played and the atmosphere was.. lighthearted, Luna enjoyed it wholly.
"So, after Im done with the company projects that are under my supervision, Ill ask Dad to transfer me to the Seoul branch and Ill be closer to you that way." He spoke casually.
She whipped her head towards him, "You'll what??"
He chuckled, "What, did you plan on ditching me and running back to Asia after kissing me?"
"You sent me there and you kissed me!"
"Im sorry about that and you let me!"
She laughed and looked out of the window, "Yes I did." Before her mind could really focus on what she had done and why she had done it, she distracted herself, "Will your mother allow it?"
"Don't care." He took a turn, his expressions dimmed, "Iv lived as she willed for a long time."
"I never understood why you listened to her anyway, there was nothing she could do to you. You're the only son." Luna said what she had always thought.
"I know you're a genius, love. But don't let your mind rule over your heart."
She turned to him with a questioning gaze,
"I always obeyed her because she is my mother. She gave birth to me." The way he spoke irked Luna slightly though she knew it was for her, because she had had little to no idea of what motherly love was like.
"What about now?"
"Well, I always listened to her, so I had hoped that she would grant one request of mine. But you know what she did? Disregarded it as a mere phase!" He took another turn a bit too harshly, "Just this once, I wanted her to listen to me."
"What did you ask for?"
"Permission to go after you."
With widened eyes she glanced at his hand as he turned the music off, the noise of traffic becoming audible.
"I realised that she never considered me a son rather than just the heir. I lost all respect for her after that and now I'll do as I please."
Luna pulled at one of the laces on her dress, what was she to say to that?
"So, I started wrapping things up here and started to prepare to move to Seoul, for you. I even broke up with my girlfriend, nothing serious of course, we didnt fit.
But things never go as we plan do they? I had to do the confessions part a bit early."
I can love him, thought Luna, I already like him, I'll just stop loving Haemin, that's easy right?
They were almost in front of the park now and Luna still hadnt said anything,
"You dont have to answer me now, it's a lot to process. But I just want you to know that, it has always been you. Luna Pièrce, I love you and I'm willing to give up everything for you."
Come on, Luna. Do something!
She turned to him and gave him the most reassuring smile she could muster, "Pick me up in two hours? And then we can go get ice cream."
He returned a toothy grin, "You didnt get to eat much of dinner, so, how about Subway and then ice cream?"
Her eyes sparkled, he still remembered that she loved Subway!
"Done!"

"Modelling is like second nature for me now, so, I can direct your photoshoot tonight if you like." Ella said to Joy while looking at her phone screen.
Meanwhile Joy was suppressing the urge to strangle her, how dare she intrude on their club activity and then try to take control as well?!
"Uhh that's actually my job and things have been going fine up till now, so, no thank you." She didnt try to sugar coat her tone, one bit.
Ella looked up with a raised eyebrow and Joy stared back at her with narrowed eyes.
"I was just trying to help." Ella gritted.
"No one asked you."
Haemin rushed to them upon looking at their glare down and sat in between them on the park bench. Multiple rides were lit up with enchanting lights, happy faces all around, music making even the trees dance. Haemin half wanted to smile, yet he couldn't bring himself to.
Before coming here, when Joy heard that Ella wanted to tag along, she was annoyed, yes. But when Haemin started to defend Ella and portray her as a victim in front of Joy, she lost it.
She went off about how Ella was a pathetic partner and how he was better off with Luna, someone who actually loved her.
Before this, he had always known Luna's feelings but he was always sure they'd subside eventually. Now that it was spoken into existence, he was torn.
The rest of the members who had been on the rides, started to come back as it was close to the time Joy had given Luna for the shoot.
They had all been getting extra stares from the people around them because of their attire, but it was fun. A few people even asked to take pictures with them.
Haemin brushed off dust from his vest coat and just as he began to fix his top hat, his hands were left mid air as he froze when he saw a girl, no less of a magical being, walking towards them.
With grace that could bring thousands of suitors to their knees, elegance that would earn her envy of every girl near her, and beauty that could match no other, Luna glided towards them with a smile that made Haemin unconsciously smile too.
Despite the lights around them, she wore the moon glow like a gown as her white dress reflected it.
"Well, we definitely know who's gonna be at the front of the pictures." Joy said as if she was under Luna's spell as well.
"Oh my god, Luna." Yumi managed to say.
Luna panicked, "Do I look bad?"
"No!" Yohan, Jeongin and Haemin exclaimed at the same time.
Ella glared at her as Luna laughed, "Well then, shall we start?" She was eager to have the attention everyone was showering Luna with, diverted.
Joy smirked as she caught on.
