I feel the need to make this note, but I was listening to some Country music while writing this story and got to thinking. Emily 100% has a full country playlist and that is all she plays during her Solo VLives. So, when you think of what songs she listens to. She's listening to that stuff, 24/7 and forces Jake to listen to it with her as well, but he probably secretly enjoys it. Now, have fun with the chapter.
~The date~
After getting back from practice, Jay and I got ready to head out. I wore a black skirt with a gray sweater and white button up underneath. Jay wore a black and white designed button up and a black pair of jeans. "You ready?" I asked as I brushed my hair out.
"Yeah, let's head out so we don't miss the bus" Jay said. "We'll be back later, please don't destroy the house while we're gone!" I shouted and waved to the other members as they all waved back.
We both walked out of the house and walked down the dark streets lit up with street lights. "Wah, it's so cold!" I laughed and hugged myself. "We should've grabbed some jackets" Jay laughed as he held me close.
"So, where are we going first?" I asked and looked up at him. "We are going to go grab some drinks from a cafe and then go on a late night walk" Jay smiled. "Sounds perfect for our first date. But, who's paying?" I asked.
Jay slightly chuckled and said, "I got it, don't worry".
"I'm not worried, I just wanted to know because I left my wallet at home by accident" I laughed. "I'll pay for our first date" He said. "My treat," He said in English.
Hearing him speak English was weird and cool at the same time. Jay just held me close as we walked down the streets. It was a cold, but beautiful night.

"One earl gray tea and one iced chocolate latte" Jay ordered and pulled out his credit card. After he paid, we both walked over to a table nearby and sat down. "What are you, an old man?" I teased and chuckled.
"What are you, a little kid?" He teased back. "Thanks for paying, I'll have to repay you someday" I said. "You can repay me later" Jay said and set down his phone. I looked around at the cafe and the anterior was beautiful.
"It's really beautiful here," I said. "It's the perfect place for a date, but I know somewhere more beautiful," He said. "Where are we going next?" I asked
Jay shook his head. "It's a secret!" He teased me. "Here are your drinks" The worker said and handed us both of our drinks. "Thank you" We said together as she walked away. "Okay, let's get going," Jay said as we both stood out of our seats and walked out of the cafe.
"Now, can I know where we are going?" I asked and held Jay's hand. "No! You will see when we get there, so stop begging" Jay laughed and took a sip of his tea. "Let me try it" I said and held my hand out for his cup.
He gave me a weird look before handing it over to me. I quickly took a sip and then made a weird face. I hate hot drinks. "Never again, never again" I said and took a sip of mine. Jay slightly laughed and took another drink.
Jay walked me down the Han river and cracked a lot of jokes that made me laugh. Even if they were extremely bad, I still laughed.
After walking for what felt like ever, Jay covered my eyes and started leading me somewhere. "Don't do this! I may fall!" I whined and held onto his arms. "Don't worry, I've got you!" He laughed and continued walking.
Eventually, Jay stopped and moved his hands away from my face to reveal all the members and they bowed as soon as they saw us. There was a small picnic set up and Sunoo was holding a basket of some sort.
"Welcome to our first date!" Jay cheered. There was a bouquet of flowers Jungwon held. Jake and Sunghoon finished decorating with some fairy lights around the blanket and it just looked amazing. Like a scene from a K-Drama.
I just looked around in amazement as everyone had a big smile on their face. Ni-Ki and Heeseung held a string with pictures clipped to it. "Jay, this is amazing" I gasped. Jungwon walked up to me and handed me the bouquet of flowers and gave a small bow before getting back in line.
"Look at the pictures" Jake smiled and Ni-Ki took each one off the clip and handed them to Jay and I. "Woah, this is amazing" Jay gasped. We both looked at every picture. Apparently it was a surprise they did on their own. There were pictures from I-Land and a couple after, and some from the Training Camp. Any that we ever took together and ones that they took of us.
My favorite was the one where Jay and I were laying together asleep and had our arms wrapped around each other. Jay's favorite was the one of us leaning on each other, exhausted after practice that Ni-Ki took of us.
"We've come such a long way" I said and just looked at the pictures. "Why don't you guys sit and enjoy some food?" Sunoo suggested and gestured for us to sit down. Jay led me over to the blanket and we both sat down as Sunoo bent down and grabbed some snacks out of the basket before standing back in line.
"Okay, you six can go and watch from afar" Jay said as they nodded and quickly walked away, just to sit on another blanket not that far from us. "I got your favorite food to eat with someone. Kimbap" Jay smiled and gave me a roll as I set the bouquet beside me.
"Woah, I can't believe you remembered" I gasped and unrolled the package and took a bite. "You couldn't have made this night anymore perfect. I'll remember this forever" I said and held his hand.
He squeezed it tight and took a bite of his. "It's such a beautiful night out, right? You chose a good night to plan this" I said and took another bite. "You know, I've been so concerned with our debut coming up but being here with you just calms me" I added.
"We work so hard in practice, so a day out together is going to be a must even after we debut. I want to spend a lot of time with you no matter what. Let's do this once a month, a date out. I think it'll be good for us. I don't care if we always have to hide from fans, I just want to be with you"
Jay stayed silent and he had a big smile on his face. "During I-Land, we spent so much time together. Honestly, I'm surprised fans never caught on to us but I haven't seen any scandals about it so I think we're in the clear. Which is good because I don't want to worry, or make the company worry. I just want to be with you and everyone accept that"
I looked over to Jay as he finished eating and clapped his hands together to get any crumbs off him and then pulled me close to him. "You're such a talker, you never run out of things to say" He laughed and leaned on me.
"Was I talking too much? I can be quiet if you want me to, sorry about that" I apologized as he chuckled and kissed my cheek. "I enjoy your rambles. It's what makes you so fun to be around" he said.
"You know, I've always wondered how you started to like me." I finished up my kimbap and clapped my hands together to get any crumbs off before leaning on Jay's lap.
"I started to want to be your friend when you stuck up for me during the representative test and then from then on, my feelings just happened. I definitely knew I did when you fell asleep on my shoulder while everyone hung out in the lounge, I don't know if you remember it, but it was that moment that I knew I wanted to be with you" He explained and messed with my hair.
"Woah, that's so long ago. I can't believe one small action made you like me" I gasped and looked up at the stars. "Now, you have to tell me" He smiled and looked down at me.
"I started to like you during the Training camp. We got close in that month and were always together. But, I never admitted it to myself and never thought I would. Then, when Jake pranked me and I got jealous, that was the moment I realized I did start having feelings. Then on, I just kept getting closer to you and I got butterflies often around you. I'm glad I met you" I said and leaned up a bit to give him a kiss, but just kissed his jawline.
Jay laughed at my attempt to kiss him and looked back up at the sky with me. It was peaceful. I sat up and stared at Jay who was adoring the sky. He was really unbelievable.
"Follow me" Jay suddenly said and stood up. He helped me up and locked arms with me as we stood closer to the river.
Jay turned to me and held my hands, before giving me a smile. "I'm so nervous right now you don't even understand" he laughed and kept messing with my hands.
"I want you to be my girlfriend. I wanted to get your Father's permission, but I can't wait any longer. So, will you finally be mine?" He asked and looked me in the eyes.
I immediately smiled and could feel butterflies. "Of course! Oh my God!" I giggled and hugged him tight.
I could hear the guys in the background clapping and cheering for us. They have been waiting the longest for it to be official. They've known since day 1. Jay gave me a kiss as he had a big smile on his face.
I saw a flash and then Jake took a picture for us. "Another one to add" He said to the others. "Here is each of yours 50,000 won" Jungwon and Sunghoon said as they handed it to Jake and Heeseung.
"I can not believe you guys actually paid them" I chuckled as me and Jay walked up to them. "Jungwon, you gave me and Jake too much" Heeseung said and tried to hand it back. "Kyungmin isn't going to fulfill the bet. So I tricked him into giving me 100,000 won to pay you" Jungwon said as we all laughed.
"Okay, well the six of us are going to head back home and take the stuff while you continue your date" Sunoo said as they all started to pick everything up. "There's more?" I asked. "Just another walk around Han river" Jay said.
"Thanks guys!" Jay waved to the members as we started to walk away. It ended up just being Jay and I by the end of the night. It was all so perfect.
~ENHYPEN&Hi~
It was our last album cover shoot and our concept was vampires. I wore a white off the shoulder that had a V-cut on the chest and a black pencil short skirt. The stylist was finishing straightening my hair and the make-up artist was toning my finishing up my makeup. I had blood red lipstick on, I looked really hot.
The stylists released me to go take pictures and I quickly gave them a bow before walking off. I had cool nails on as well, which I really liked. "Jay interview" I heard Jay say as he pointed the camera to us.
"How are you feeling about today's shoot?" He asked. "Oh, I'm excited. I really like this concept" I said and gave a thumbs up. "How do you feel about this being our last album cover shoot?" He asked.
"It just means one step closer to debut, so I'm excited" I cheered. "Okay, cut" He said and flipped the camera down. "Okay, I have to go take solo shoots now" I said and lightly patted his cheek before quickly walking off.
They finished up with Jungwon and then instructed me to stand behind the table. I did a few posed standing before sitting down and doing some there.
I looked at the rose and picked one up and held it in my hand before grabbing the wine glass. "Hold that pose" One of the cameramen said. I looked up at the camera and once they got a couple shots, a staff member came over to me with a cup of water and dunked my rose into it.
Apparently, I accidentally got the rose too close to the candle and it caught on fire but not a lot. Which I guess was good, because now I got good shots. They told me I was done after that and I bowed to them and walked back over to the group.
"Only you would accidentally light a rose on fire" Sunghoon said. "I think it was fate to do that. Now my pictures will be the best" I teased and walked over to get a drink.
"You did good" Jay told me and showed me a picture he secretly took. "Why~ That one was so bad" I groaned and picked up one of the drinks for us. "It's beautiful. Just like you" He teased and kissed my forehead.
"Let's get ready for the group shoot!" A staff member shouted from wherever they were. I set my cup back down and followed Jay.
—
The group shoot went great. I stood in front of Jake and Sunoo and behind Jungwon sitting down. After that we were given matching jackets which I really liked. We took some silly pictures for ourselves on the throne and during a group picture, I sat on the throne's arms while Jay and Heeseung stood on the sides and Jake sat on the throne.
—
After that, we had to walk down a runaway type thing. I walked in front beside Sunghoon and when we got close to the camera we all split up.
"Okay, that's all!" A staff member shouted. "Thank you!" They said. "Thank you!" Me and the members said to all the staff and bowed.
My best stylist led me back to my vanity mirror as she took off my make-up. She was older than me, but was a good friend to me. "How was today's shoot?" She asked me. "It was better than the last. I felt more comfortable" I said.
"Oh, how's you and Jay? I saw him kiss your forehead" She teased and I could feel my face get red. "We're good, I can't believe you saw that" I mumbled and tried to cover my cheeks.
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. Now, let's get you home" She said and patted my shoulder. I walked back over to the dressing room and changed back into my comfy clothes. I loved my stylist. "I'll see you next time" She said and waved to me before packing up her things.
I waved back to her and got ready to leave. Today's photoshoot was a success, even with a few incidents here and there.
