Irene huffed bored with the evening. Another award show. An award show on his birthday which would span into hers. She was irritated. He was home after months. And instead of celebrating together they were forced to attend another award show that she could care less about at the moment. To make matters worse he wasn't even in her line of eyesight, seated away from them, so she couldn't even turn to him. She hated this. She wanted to go home. She wanted to be at home lying in his arms, yet here she was sitting in an exceedingly tight dress that had fidgeting every five seconds.

Jackson smiled watching the back of her head. He knew she was annoyed or rather pissed off at the way their plans had fallen through. But still through the anger her gracefulness remained intact. Her posture never once slipping as she kept a cold look cemented on her features turning away from every camera that approached her. He laughed in amusement the boys smiling at him as he did. She was so hot when she was angry and the beauty of it was that she wasn't aware. His eyes trailed her form; completely flawless. Her dress body con, filling her entire form leaving her shoulder blades bare. A black choker against her swan like neck, her hair falling against her shoulders straight. She was stunning. And she was his. He fiddled with something in his suit pocket a smile on his face as he watched her. During the intermission when she was sure that no one was looming around she whipped her head around meeting his awaiting gaze, she pulled a face indicating how fed up she was. He smiled mouthing to her it was okay. He watched her huff, crossing her shoulders over chest in a cute motion, his eyes softening as he fell in love with her all over again.

She was pulled away from him by hand on her shoulder, her features displaying her reluctance to turn away. His Babygirl was always like this and he loved it, every second of everyday, every moment that god blessed him with he fell utterly and hopelessly in love with her. And that was what love was, falling in love all the time multiple times with the same person. She had his heart in the way he had hers. The ideal couple that hid perfectly away from the cameras and spotlight, partly helped by the fact that they were never in the same place ever. The rare occurrence when they were in each other's arms, their relationship progressing through messages and calls and  the need for each other. Distance was never an issue. He showed and proved to her that distance was not an excuse to run away. He supported her and her girls through everything. As a best friend. As a cheerleader. As a lover. And she did the same. The love was always something that would flow from their eyes, an invisible connection that was hidden from the rest of the world. He smiled looking at his watch before turning his attention to the love of his life who was now on stage owning it like she always did, girls and boys alike chanting her name as the screen blared with her face. She smiled, capturing him all over again like she did in 2017 with that one unforgettable night that joined them together from then onwards. His eyes remained fixated on her watching her as the boys nudged him laughing. He shook his head containing the smile that threatened to break on his features as he turned his attention back to her as they finished. Him and the boys moving as they passed each other to get backstage. He reached out grabbing her hand her head remaining straight so no one would pick up on the exchange, but he caught the smile and it was enough for him to go out and perform for her. He watched her move to the beat singing the lyrics as the girls laughed at her. He was grateful that the camera man picked up on it because it was about to be his favourite video of all time. He smiled fans noticing as Jinyoung slapped him on the shoulder laughing.

They finished the performance the night drawing to a close an hour later with both Got7 and RedVelvet getting the appreciation that they deserve.

With the closing of the evening the stars were all called up on stage. It blaring midnight as the lights went low, a cake being brought onto the stage for Irene as the girls smiled at her. She stood up on her tiptoes looking for him, she moved grabbing his hand and hauling him forward as everyone sung for them. She looked at him knowing she should leave his hand but choosing not to. She pulled him slightly as they blew out the candles together. They smiled at one another as they cut the cake feeding each other before feeding their bandmates. Irene turned around for a second as people wished her, Jackson asking for a mic. "Irene..." he called out, as she turned to him. The girls smiling knowingly as he took her hand in his own pulling her slightly away from everyone. She looked at him in confusion. Her eyes widening as he got on one knee, screams escalating as people crowded around them. "Irene it's been three amazing years with you. Your love has taught me so much, it's taught me to yearn, to live in the moment and so much more. Every second of everyday this heart beats for you and you only. I open my eyes to the thought of you and sleep to the thought of you. There is never a minute that you do not cross my mind. We have fought so hard Babygirl to stand where we are today, we fought for our love and for each other. You have been my best friend. My rock. My personal cheerleader and my lover. The distance has been hard but we have over come everything together. I'm completely and helplessly in love with you Joohyun." He breathed watching her eyes moist over. He fished in his pocket taking out a box, Irene choking on a sob in realisation. He opened the box presenting it to her, his eyes pinning hers. "Every single day I love you and only you. And I want to be able to love you for the rest of my life into the next and the next. I want to grow old with you and experience the next half my journey holding your hand." He smiled up at her. "Will you do me the biggest honour and marry me irene bae?"he asked watching the tears fall from her eyes. She nodded as he stood, her arms wrapping around him as his wrapped his around her waist kissing her. He slipped the ring on her finger, her head burying in the crook of his neck as he held her against him. His own tears falling as screams, cheers and applauses erupted from the arena. They parted ways smiling at each other as the girls squealed hugging Irene, Jennie, Lisa, rose and jisoo joining as they looked at the ring, the boys congratulated Jackson before switching to Irene, the girls congratulating Jackson, other groups coming up to them as they looked at each other, he stretched his arms out slightly as she barrelled into him. Their lips connecting again as he dipped her. She smiled against him, her anger long forgotten. He held her hand as the cameras zoomed onto them. He leaned in whispering. "You ready soon to be Ms Wang?" He asked She turned to him. "Always soon be husband." He kissed the side of her forehead.  The evening finally closing. Their hands remaining interlocked. Forever.
