PART 1

"Go over there," Yunho directed. "Jaejoong! keep still! no, not on the side... right in the middle."
"But I'll look ridiculous." Jaejoong complained, walking away from Yunho who kept waving the camera at him.
"Oh come on," Yunho pushed him back into position, laughing at how his lips were stuck in an endless pout. "Stop pouting!"
"You've taken enough pictures already," he grumbled, barely audible as half of his face was buried under the thick scarf.
"Last one," Yunho promised. "Say kimchi!"
Jaejoong pulled the black beanie over his eyes, feeling utterly emasculated as he stood behind two life-sized polar bear balloons.
"Bite me."
He glared, staring blankly at the camera while Yunho laughed at him as he snapped a quick shot. "So cute!"
"I don't want to look cute," Jaejoong mumbled as he was pulled further inside the teddybear museum. "It's not manly," he sullenly added before shooting an accusatory glare. "You don't think I'm manly, do you?"
"Of course, I do." Yunho said with a straight face.
Jaejoong stared at him, cracking a small smile before falling into a fit of laughter. "You're a terrible liar."
"I do think you are manly..." Yunho sniggered, dropping a kiss on Jaejoong's neck. "Just that you like it better when I make you submit to me in bed." He then squeezed Jaejoong's ass as he whispered in his bedroom voice, "You let me take charge because it turns you on knowing how much control I have over you. Isn’t that right?"
Jaejoong's cheeks flushed into a bright shade of red. "S-Shut up. You don't get to talk dirty after dragging me here when we could be at home having sex right now!" Jaejoong whined, shoving his laughing boyfriend to the side as he walked forward while grumbling to himself.

The museum's outdoor park looked eerily dead. Following behind Yunho who didn't seem to be bothered by the atmosphere, Jaejoong made sure to let him know he wasn’t amused by it.
"Wow, isn’t this place cheerful? I'm seriously choking with excitement." Jaejoong deadpanned. As he looked around the ghostly surrounding, he couldn't help but add in mild irritation, "There's no one else here, Yunho-yah. Let’s go home.”
"Isn’t that a good thing?” Yunho said. “Because that means we have the place all to ourselves."
“Ooh!” Jaejoong’s face perked up, suddenly excited for an entirely different thing. “Come to think of it, we’ve never done it in a park before. I’ve always wanted to try to--” he trailed mid-sentence as they walked aimlessly around the garden. “But this place really gives me the creeps.” He shuddered. “I mean, what if some psycho attacks us while we’re going at it and then chases around with an axe, huh?! I'm too young and beautiful to die! don’t you think so, Yun--”
His eyebrows scrunched noticing some strange stillness behind him. He whirled around only to find that he was completely alone.
“Yah! Yunho-yah!”
Oh my god. What if some crazy fan got to Yunho?
"Y-Yunho-yah! where are you?"
Jaejoong's eyes darted around in panic.
"I-It's not funny!" Jaejoong was getting scared, numerous ugly thoughts running through his head. It was just like in the movies! What if.... What if...
"Jaejoong-ah, I’m over here."
Jaejoong jolted in surprise, releasing a puff of breath in relief upon hearing Yunho’s voice. Oh, I’m so silly. Of course he’s alive. “Where are you? I can't see, you idiot! It's too dark." He followed Yunho's voice into the center of the park, leading him to the massive fountain.
"I'm right here."
Jaejoong felt Yunho’s arms circle his waist from behind, surprising him with a soft kiss on the cheek.
"I'm sorry."
“Why?” Jaejoong turned to Yunho, looking confused. "What’s wrong?”
"I saw that look in your face, how sad you were that I forgot,” Yunho said as he brushed a strand of hair away from Jaejoong’s face.
"No, no. Don’t worry about it, please. Just like this is enough. Spending tonight with you is enough," he smiled.
"You know that I’ll never want you to settle for anything less, right? I'll give you everything if I could... whatever it takes to make you happy."
“And I love you so much for that,” Jaejoong said with a beautiful smile only reserved for him.
"Dance with me," Yunho whispered, pulling him closer.
Jaejoong quirked an eyebrow. He wrapped his arms around Yunho's neck as they swayed to a non-existent music.
"Stop staring at me like that,” his face began to heat up as Yunho looked at him like he was the most beautiful person that he’d ever laid his eyes on. There was nothing else he wanted to do at that moment but show the other how much he felt the same. “You’re really making me want to ravish you right now. So please, how long do you intend to dance with me? because--"
"Until the music stops." Yunho grinned.
Jaejoong blinked, looking a little baffled. "What’s gotten into you today? you’ve never denied me sex before--wait, do you hear..."
His breath caught, leaving him frozen for a moment when he heard a faint sound of music started to play, growing louder each second. He was further mesmerized for as if on cue, beautiful lights lit up around them; one by one, the trees started to glow, along the beautiful fountain that started shooting colored lights in the air in tune to the slow, familiar song he knew by heart.
“Yunho-yah... this...” Jaejoong bit his lip, trembling as words failed him.
"Happy anniversary, Jaejoong-ah. I know you wanted this night to be special. Do you like it?" Yunho smiled at him lovingly, chastely kissing him on the lips.
Jaejoong could only nod as his eyes began to blur. He opened his mouth, hoping it would cooperate with him this time but before he could speak another word, his eyes widened when he finally noticed the group of orchestra band playing in the corner. He didn’t think he could be any more happier... until Yunho hugged him close, and then started to serenade him with their song as they swayed to the music.

I wake, the approach of morning rouses me
And to you, asleep in my arms,
I love you
When I’m fighting an uphill battle,
You’re with me holding my shoulders warmly
And while we may shed tears because of the sorrow,
There will never be a sad farewell between us
We’ll always share the same dream
Until heaven separates us
I love you
"The only reason I freaked out when I thought you were gonna propose..." at that moment, everything started to made sense as Yunho kneeled before him, reaching inside his jacket pocket revealing a silver band. Jaejoong thought his heart was going to burst.
“...is because I plan to do it myself.” Yunho looked up at him nervously, his knees shaking a little. "Kim Jaejoong, you're the love of my life and the only person I want to spend the rest of my life with. Will you--”
Jaejoong didn’t even let him finish as he threw his arms around Yunho's neck, shouting "Yes! Yes, I will!" repeatedly.
Yunho laughed, enclosing Jaejoong in a bear hug before kissing him full on the lips. "I love you,” he whispered while putting the ring on Jaejoong’s finger.
"I love you, too.” Jaejoong answered as he wiped a stray tear. "Is... Is this why you were so busy? You couldn’t have possibly arranged all this in one night.”
“I’ve been planning this out for weeks with the help of Yoochun. It was a bit difficult getting this place closed down for tonight, but we made it work!”
Jaejoong’s eyes widened as it came to light. “Oh, you are just the sweetest... I can’t even... I’m just so happy, Yunho-yah. And you didn’t forget our anniversary!”
"Of course, I didn’t." Yunho sighed. "I almost ruined the surprise, you know. You looked so disappointed in me that I had to call Yoochun and ask if I should just propose to you right there. But he scolded me, telling me to hold on because it'll be worth it.” Yunho cupped Jaejoong’s cheek, his thumb caressing the flushed skin. “I’m so glad I did."
Jaejoong smiled. “I’m glad you did.”
Yunho had his arm around Jaejoong’s waist as he led him to the observatory deck. "As you know, we can't legally marry here. So maybe one of these days we could fly somewhere to make it official?”
“Mhm,” Jaejoong grinned, resting his head on Yunho’s shoulder. “Officially life-long partners. I really like the sound of that. It’s just so surreal.”
Yunho chuckled. “And to think this all started with your crazy idea of playing pretend.”
“Except it’s for real this time... no more pretending.” Jaejoong cheekily added, his eyes showing Yunho all the love that was only meant for him.
Yunho bent his head low for a kiss when a sound of a champagne cork popping interrupted them and a unison of “Congratulations you guys!” as their closest friends Yoochun, Junsu, and Changmin appeared from the side.
Yunho groaned. “There goes my other surprise.”
“Oh hey Yunnie.”
“Yea?”
“You still owe me sex.”
“Right, um. The garden has quite a nice spot.”
“Okay.”
“Okay.”
The other three watched in disbelief as the couple sneakily ran out to the back, laughing together looking totally lost in each other’s eyes as they turned off the main switch, dimming the lights in the garden.
“YAH! WHERE ARE YOU GUYS GOING? save the sex for later!” Junsu yelled after them.
Yoochun laughed. “Oh what the heck, let them be. Come on, let’s celebrate!”
Changmin cheered, “To Yunho and Jaejoong!”
TThey raised their glasses as the last of the night’s glow faded.
