authors note: thank you for reading this series. I hope you enjoy the last part and have a good day :)

“Is that…a hickey?” Nayeon’s eyes widened as she inspected the mark on your neck closely.

Before you could reply, she held your chin in her hand and moved it so she could lean in even closer.

Your other friends seemed to have caught wind of her question as they also leaned in and Jihyo gasped, “Oh my, seems like you had a fun night, didn’t you?”

“Oh, wow.” Momo nodded as she observed. “Who’s it from?”

“Momo,” Jeongyeon raised an eyebrow, also inspecting the mark along with your others as if they were surgeons and you were on their operating table. “Who do you think?”

“It’s so big.” The eldest said, in awe – basically impressed. “You know, as your mentor and all, I should be discouraging you from doing the nasty on school grounds…but damn, good for you girl.”

“doing the nasty, who even says that anymore?” Jeongyeon chuckled, earning a slap to the shoulder from Nayeon.

“Agree with Jeongyeon on that one,” Jihyo interjected, “but I agree with Nayeon too. Good for you. You guy’s dorm room must be very…exciting after hours, I see.”

You finally spoke up, shaking your friends off of you. “You guys,” You chuckled and felt your cheeks heat up. With a swift move, you pulled your hoodie over your head “I actually thought I covered it up well, you know?”

Your friends burst out laughing, somehow making you feel even more embarrassed. Playfully you rolled your eyes at them and slacked down into your chair.

“No way,” Jihyo laughed, “Have you been walking around campus like that all day?”

More and somehow even louder laughs erupted when you nodded. “At least now you made it very clear that you’re a taken girl.” Jeongyeon joked. “So tell us, how is it having your roommate as a lover?”

As Nayeon teased Jeongyeon back for the use of the word ‘lover’, Momo lit up. “Oh, Chaeyoung?” she commented, just then having caught up to who you all were talking about. With a slow nod she approved, “Ship.”

“Same.” The rest of your friends replied in unison.

“So, is it official?” Nayeon had asked with a playful smile on her lips. Her question was left unanswered as a visibly annoyed librarian scolded your friend group for talking too loud…but the question didn’t leave your mind ever since.

It was a good question. One you wouldn’t have necessarily known the answer to right then. One that would be at the back of your mind every time you saw your roommate. Was it official?

What you did know what that you and Chaeyoung clicked like you’ve never clicked with anyone before – in every single way. There were so many moments with her, and so many things that she did that made you so incredibly happy.

Chaeyoung wrote poems for you. Like, actual poetry that she had scribbled on her notebook between classes. She would keep it, fold it up real small and put in your bag – where she knew you’d find it. Opening those up in class and reading about the most random things she thought of was often the highlight of your day. Sometimes it’d be about a flower, painting, or a song she encountered that day. Other times they’d be about you. About how much she liked your hair, your voice, how you made her feel and how she wanted to make you feel.

When you got home, she never asked if you had found it. Your big smile already gave that away, and if not that then the way you tackled her into a hug as soon as you stepped through the door did.

Most times, when you were huffing, puffing and squinting your eyes over your piles of schoolwork, Chaeyoung would sit on her bed. Her back would be against the wall and her tongue stuck out as she glanced between you and the paper she was drawing on. When you realised it was you she was drawing, you would protest saying something along the lines of not looking good enough that day and she’d sternly shake her head, repeating “You look perfect to me exactly as you are.” every time.

If you wanted to clear your head, she knew the perfect shows that you both could watch cuddled up in her bed. If you were sad, she knew exactly the right words to say or exactly how to hold you to make you feel comfortable. Often, she knew what to do without you even having to say anything to her.

She understood you. And you understood her.

Having spent so much time with her, you found (even more) traits of hers you found endearing. You noticed how she was both a calm and hyper person – whenever she wanted to be. If you both were hanging out in the group, she could either be low-key and introverted along with Mina and Tzuyu or she could be a joke-cracking, loud laughing extrovert along with Sana or Jihyo. There was truly a Chaeyoung for every mood. That might have been your favourite thing about her.

You also liked the fact that she was kind of odd. She did, wore, listened to, drew, and acted as she wanted. She had her own style, did things at her own timing and didn’t really listen to or pay mind to what others thought. You admired her for that.

There was a lot to like in terms of Chaeyoung. And you loved learning about something new every day.

For example, the funny (and maybe a bit bizarre) way that you found out just how much your roommate loved strawberries. It was almost Christmas and you both decided to host a little get together for your friends at your place and Chaeyoung damn near jumped up and down in excitement that she got to make her self-made snack “strawberry santa”. When you asked her what that was she excitedly squealed that you’d make it together and when you got back from class you were met with your roommate dawned in a full santa custome, waiting for you at the kitchen table.

“what the…” you started, but before you could gather your thoughts she already sat you down and took you through the steps of making her strawberry centred dessert. She scolded you for giggling during her explanation, but how could you help yourself if she was dressed like that. Where did she even get the full suit from? … and why? You were in awe, but you didn’t ask. Chaeyoung did as Chaeyoung did. So all you did was smile, and you kissed her when she was done explaining. When she asked you what it was for, you simply told her “Because you’re you.”

Spending all this time with Chaeyoung was amazing. Every chance you got to hang out with her, you did. Whether it was grocery shopping together for the dorm, cooking together, washing dishes, studying – anything, everything really. Especially now that your friend groups had blended, you two were always together. And it was good. It was fun.

But you wanted more than just fun. You wanted her fully.

Through all the fun you were having with her, the admiring, the kissing, the touching and being wrapped up in each other you had realised that you both never really talked about what this was exactly. For a while that was fine. You didn’t mind living in the moment with her at all. There was no need to rush her. However, when that question awoke something in you. “So, is it official?” It had plagued your mind ever since Nayeon asked.

Although you were worried about what would happen if you both put a label on whatever this was, what it would mean for the friendship, the living situation and the future – at this point that was all secondary. You wanted her to be yours. Your girlfriend.

This evening was one of many that you were left pondering about the whole situation. Chaeyoung was out and as you sat at your desk, trying to study, you couldn’t get yourself to focus. So you did what you did best whenever you needed advice. You texted the groupchat.

You: can you guys come over??? I need your guidance

Momo: sure, omw

Nayeon: I’m down, you got snacks?

You: I have leftover Strawberry santa?

Jihyo: I can’t have ham :(

Jihyo: but I’ll come

Jeongyeon: FOMO?

Jihyo: …yeah

Before long, your friends were sat with you in your room and intently listening to you as they snacked. They agreed that it was already kind of implied that you and Chaeyoung were basically together as you spent so much time together and were exclusive, but they did still advocate for you two making it official. While Jihyo and Momo thought keeping it lowkey was the best way to go, Nayeon and Jeongyeon advocated for you making it a whole grand gesture. You listened in awe as they brainstormed for you, but had to slow them down and remind them that you were still a broke college student when they excitedly talking about getting a hot air balloon ride.

Finally, everybody came to an agreement when Nayeon suggested surprising Chaeyoung with some self-made dinner, wine and chocolate covered strawberries, claiming “It would be perfect for your strawberry princess.” Maybe it was the nickname she used that sealed the deal, but your heart fluttered at the idea and you couldn’t be more excited.

The next day, you rushed to the store to get all you needed. You basically skipped home, a bright smile plastered on your face as you thought of you officially being together after today. You had gotten to your dorm room and stored everything away moments before Chaeyoung walked through the door as well.

“Hey, baby.” It was her voice that caught your attention first, then it was the bouquet of flowers she held with both hands stretched towards you. “I got this for you.”

You smiled at the happy grin on her face and leaned in to give her a kiss on the cheek. “You’re too sweet, really. It’s beautiful.” As you put the flowers into a vase, you glanced at her once more and frowned. She was still standing at the doorway, shoes on, hands in her pocket and shifting her balance from one feet to the other – she seemed nervous? “…so, how was class?”

“Good, good.” She said, a bit rushed. After checking the time on her phone, she picked up your shoes and handed them to you. “Come, we’re gonna be late.”

“Late for what?” you chuckled at her antics as she was normally quite laid-back.

“Shoes now, questions later.” she playfully snapped her fingers at you and planted numerous quick kisses on your cheeks, forehead, lips, making it hard to actually concentrate on putting on your shoes. “come, come, come.”

As soon as your shoes were on, she basically dragged you out of the room, trying to conceal her little mischievous smile. Although she told you that you could ask your questions on the way, she reminded you of the fact that she didn’t necessarily have to answer any of them and kept the mystery of where you were going all the way till you got there. When you arrived, she got you to close your eyes and guided your last steps to your location.

"Okay, open."

You did as told and were pleasantly surprised to see she had actually taken you to an aquarium of all places. You looked at the huge building, then back at her excited face. You knew your roommate was the slightest bit random so you had made it a habit to not ask any questions, but this time the word came out of your mouth almost instinctively “…what?”

“I just realised that for all this time…I’ve never really taken you out on an actual date.” Chaeyoung intertwined her fingers with yours and smiled at you – showing that cute dimple of hers. “and I’d really like to take you to go do something you wouldreally like. I wanted to make it special for you”

For a second, you were puzzled but then you remembered the question she had asked you a long while ago – about what your ideal date would be. “Oh my god, Chaeyoung. You actually remembered that?” you stared at the girl in disbelief.

Chaeyoung tapped her temple and winked at you, “Perfect memory when it comes to you.” With a squeeze to your hand in hers and a sweet kiss on your lips, she asked, “You ready?”

“Definitely.”

The day was not going exactly as you had planned, but it went even better. You walked through the aquarium arm in arm with Chaeyoung, seeing the most beautiful sea creatures but still not being able to keep your eyes off her. As she looked around, in awe, you marvelled at how the blue hues of the water lit up her face. The light truly made her look even more beautiful than she already was and you definitely made sure to tell her (multiple times). You were enthralled by her and resisted the urge to just ask her to be your girlfriend then and there.

After the visit to the aquarium, Chaeyoung beamed that the day was not over yet and took you to an arcade as well. Although she wasn’t the competitive type, she playfully scoffed when you said you’d take it easy on her since she was an arcade newbie. Turned out that experience didn’t matter as she was actually quite good at many of the games you ended up playing and won a countless amount of tickets. She might have even been better than you as you suspected (by the way she smirked) that she had let you win once or twice.

You thanked her, going on and on about how it was the best date you could have ever asked for once you got back home. When finally laid up in her bed, she seemed to let out a big sigh of relief. “I’m glad you enjoyed today…”

“Of course I did,” You affirmed. Seeing the small frown in her eyebrow, you sat up and gave her a questioning look. “Are you okay, Chae? You still seem a bit nervous…”

“I just wanted today to be perfect, you know?” She said as she absentmindedly traced figures in your skin. “You know our first real date and all…I also wanted to ask you something.”

“What?”

“Uh…you know, much like we haven’t really been out on a official date before, we also haven’t really made official what we are, I guess?” The girl bit down her lip. With your mouth slightly agape you stared at her, knowing exactly where she was going with it. “…and it’s not like I think labels are too much of an important thing, so if you want to hold on with that I understand, but…”

Chaeyoung trailed off and swallowed. You had actually never seen her this nervous before and in the silence of the moment you could almost swear you could hear her heart beating out her chest. She toyed with the hem of her t-shirt and bit her lip as she tried keeping eye contact with you. It was adorable.

Awkwardly she cleared her throat and went on, “When I think of being able to call you my girlfriend, it makes me really happy. You make me really happy. So I guess, I’m asking, would you like to be? My girlfriend?”

You blinked. And took a second.

With raised eyebrows and a slight smile on your lip you simply said, “wow.”

“I- I mean, I don’t want to rush you or anything.” Chaeyoung hurriedly interjected. “If you want to keep things as they are now, it’s okay but I just-“

“Chaeyoung!” you interrupted her ramblings, laughing. “I would love nothing more than to be your girlfriend.” As you reassured her, you visibly saw her relax and sigh of relief. “It’s just funny, because I wanted to ask you the same today.”

“What, really?” The girl adorably beamed.

“Yeah, I had a whole thing planned and everything.” Smiling, you escaped from her embrace and made your way to the kitchen area. “I even wanted to make us dinner.”

You retrieved the specific packet of Ramyeon you and Chaeyoung that was your guys’ go-to to eat when neither of you felt like extensively cooking. You had also gotten a lot of extra ingredients to make it more fancy. You thought it’d be cute because since you two had it so often, it would only make sense if that was the thing you cooked and ate together today.

“But it’s nothing impressive after all you did today,” you pouted at your girlfriend which made her smile at you.

Chaeyoung joined you in the kitchen area and wrapped her arms around your waist, pulling you in. “Don’t be silly. This is so cute.” She planted a sweet kiss on your lips. “Also, everything you do is impressive to me, sooo.”

“Oh, if you liked that,” you started, reaching over to grab the bottle of wine, chocolate and strawberries as well. “then you’re gonna love this.”

As soon as Chaeyoung set eyes on the fruit she let out a squeal of excitement and took it from you. “Oh my god, plus the chocolate?” she motioned towards the chocolate and the strawberries, as to confirm they were meant to be eaten together.

“Yeah, Chae.” You smiled at her burst of happiness.

She balled her fist in excitement and already started grabbing all the necessary items in order to melt the chocolate as she asked, “Can we still do it, please?”

“Yeah of course. Go ahead.” You loudly laughed seeing all of her joy for the idea of chocolate-covered strawberries and silently thanked your friends for helping you come up with the idea.

She launched onto you and gave you kisses on your cheek, smiling through each one. You held onto her tight and she rested her head on your shoulder and spoke, “I feel so lucky. I’m so happy to have you with me, my girlfriend.”

She playfully dragged out the word and you pecked her on the lips. “I like hearing you call me that.”

“Yeah?” she smirked.

You answered her with another kiss, “Yeah, a lot.”

“Good,” she nodded and went back to her mission of chocolate covered strawberries.

You couldn’t help the smile on your face as you watched her. In that moment it seemed impossible that you were ever apprehensive of having a roommate – it also seemed like so long ago. The girl you’d once searched the whole internet for to get even a hint of what she would be like, turned out to be more interesting that you could have ever imagined. She was all you could have hoped for and so much more.

When she smiled at you, you were reminded of the first moments you got to know her. You had changed since then – college had given you the best experiences, you made new friends, tried new things, your birthday had come and gone, you met her. Her wolf-cut had long grown out, but Chaeyoung’s smile was still the same. It made you happy. It made your heart warm and you didn’t always truly realize how.

But as you watched your girlfriend do her little happy dance as she prepared the dessert, you knew for sure. In that moment, nothing was more clear and true to you – you loved her.

Your very own strawberry princess.
