Chapter Text
It has been three years since she and Dowoon started dating. It was hard with the first few months since she had to adjust herself to her boyfriend’s jam-packed schedule so their dates only happen when Dowoon has time. She’s not complaining though. They might not see each other often but Dowoon never fails to make her not feel alone. She, on her part, never misses any chance to see and support Dowoon too. Even just a glimpse of him at concerts, it made her feel complete.
It was during their first year anniversary, when Dowoon couldn't make it to their supposedly whole day date that they have been planning for sometime now, because his fansigning event with DAY6 got in the way. To make it up to her, he called her the moment he woke up that same day before preparing for their event. She picked her phone up almost immediately, delighted to see her boyfriend's name lighting up the screen.
"Hey, good morning." She said with glee as soon as she held her phone near her ear.
"Good morning, my lady drum. Happy anniversary." Dowoon answered with his still groggy voice. She giggled at his tone, thinking about whether he knows how much she loves hearing his morning voice.
"Happy anniversary. Good luck with the event later, I know you guys would do great as always." She cheered him on. Dowoon smiled to himself, already feeling motivated to start his day. However, he also felt bad immediately after recalling the cancelled date they were supposed to have.
"I'm sorry." He said in a low voice.
"For what?" She asked, confused.
"I know we've been planning this for a while and you're really looking forward to this day. I'm sorry my career always gets in the way. I'm sorry I always end up disappointing you." Dowoon said, feeling sorry for disappointing the love of his life.
She got disappointed, but just a little bit. She was that understanding. She knows how much Dowoon is happy with his career, she knows how much music means to him. She was so understanding, she wouldn't even want to come to the point where Dowoon would have to choose between her and his career because she knows for herself she wouldn't let him choose her over his passion.
"I told you, it's fine. Besides, this wouldn't be the only anniversary we would be having, right?" She said with a light chuckle, trying to lighten up the mood. "And I still love you though."
"Right. Fair point. I love you too... so much." He said, now fully awake, trying to think of all the good things we had probably done in his past life to deserve a girl like her.
After a few more i love you's, she finally convinced Dowoon to end the call to get up and prepare himself. She, on the other hand, went on with her own routine too: fixed a few things that aren't supposed to be lying around the floor of the house, ate brunch because Dowoon isn't a fan of her habit of skipping meals, and finally taking a bath before proceeding to pick something decent to wear. After she had herself ready to go, she packed the things she would need, as well as her newly bought camera.
When she arrived at the venue of the fansign, she sat somewhere near where Dowoon usually is. This was the first DAY6 event she went to that wasn't a concert. A surprise for the great hard-working boyfriend, I guess?
Dowoon didn't know she would be there. He was actually expecting her to just be sitting at home, waiting for him or probably just walking around the city as she pleased to do when he has schedule. Amused would be an understatement for what Dowoon immediately felt when she saw her among the sea of people. Let alone the fact that she had a camera with her like the other fans.
That day marked the day she started to become one of Dowoon's well known fansites up to date.
It went on like that with the succeeding events. She, going to different DAY6 events as a fansite and a supportive girlfriend. Dowoon, being the musician he is while still trying to be a boyfriend by throwing hearts at her and her camera at random moments. However, she doesn't go near Dowoon during the events for they were trying to be discreet as they can, or so they think.
It's now their 3rd year anniversary and their relationship still remained hidden.
Just like their first, another fansigning event came up on the said date. But this time, no one was disappointed anymore, not even Dowoon. How could he be, when he knows she'll be there to cheer him on later at the event? So instead of disappointment, he was instead feeling giddy, as if this is the first time he'd be seeing her among the sea of fans.
What he didn't know is this time, she finally decided to come up to him and talk.
He was talking to a fan when he saw her getting up from her seat. He got a bit distracted but he immediately got himself together and went on with the fanservice. He was looking at her seat from time to time though, trying to check if she was back or not. After a few glances, she still wasn't back. Too worried about her whereabouts, he didn't notice she was actually in front of him already.
"Hey, looking for someone?" she said with a teasing tone, noticing how distracted he was. He was taken aback at the sound of her familiar voice. Looking up to see if he heard it right, he beamed from ear to ear at the sight of the love of his life.
"Lady drum, you're here," he muttered, as low as he can so he wouldn't be heard by the others, still trying to be discreet as possible.
"As always," she said, trying to suppress her giggles.
"No, I mean, here as in here. In front of me. You haven't done that before," he said as a matter of fact.
"Trying to level up my fansite gaming, I guess? Happy anniversary, my drum. And uhh, surprise?" she told him, all smiles, which made him laugh as his ears turn bright red while he held her hand.
"Happy anniversary, my lady drum" he said with a cheeky grin.
It was now her turn to blush as she returned back to her seat, already trying to think of what to do during their next anniversary if another event got in the way with their plans.
