Star walks towards her apartment when she saw a familiar figure ringing the doorbell. She walked slowly towards him, trying to be silent as possible and patted his shoulders lightly. He turned his head to her and after seeing her, a smile appeared on his face.

"Hey" Star greeted and smiled at him. "No one is home right now since it's sunday. They're all probably shopping or something" she continued while opening the door of the apartment.

"Oh, I see" Axel said.

"Why are you here anyway?" Star said while removing her shoes and Axel did the same thing.

"I was going to ask you to a date but it looks like you already went out" Axel said in a sad tone and a sulky expression.

"Aww, is that so?" Star said and jokingly mocked him.

They went to the living room and sat down. Star offered to get a juice for him and he accepted. After Star went back from the kitchen, she sat down and sighed.

"Where did you go today?" Axel asked after taking a sip from the juice.

"I went to a bakery with EL" Star answers while her head is resting at a pillow.

Axel sighed before answering, "that girl has been through a lot but regardless of that she's still able to smile" Axel said. He was reminded of the time EL told him her past.

"When we were in college I asked EL to be my girlfriend. She turned me down and told me about her past at the same time" Star's eyes was about to pop out by what he said.

"What? You liked EL back then?" Star asked in surprise and Axel shook his head aggressively.

"No! It's just that I was a huge playboy at that time" Axel said and Star's expression looked confused and restrained at the same time. It was like she was looking at an insect.

"Don't give me that look. I can't help it since I'm very handsome. It's not my fault the girls chase me by themselves" Axel said with an arrogant expression and tone which irritated Star.

Star didn't say anything and instead stared at him with disgust all over her face. She can't believe how self-conceited the man in front of her is.

"I can't believe you're saying that" Star said while wearing a disgusted expression on her face.

"Why? Am I not handsome?" Axel asked and pouted and made puppy eyes. Star felt even more disgusted by what he did.

"Yeah yeah. You're the most handsome man on this planet" Star said halfheartedly and he had a proud look on his face.

"Why are you telling me about your college days anyway?" Star regretted asking that. She thought that Axel might misunderstand the question.

Axel looked at her with a confused expression and Star started to panic. "I-it's not that I don't want to know. I'm just wondering why you suddenly started to tell me" Star quickly explained herself.

"I'm telling you because we've been apart for 16 years" Axel said, looking straight in her eyes.

"And also because I don't want to have any secrets from you" Axel said with a serious tone while still looking in her eyes.

"O-ok" Star didn't know what else to say to him so she just replied ok.

Silence enveloped around the whole room, not one of them are making any noise. Star can feel the steady gaze that Axel is giving her. She started to feel nervous, she can feel her heart beating loudly, loud enough for another person to hear it. She turned her eyes to another to another direction, hoping that Axel won't hear her the loud thumping of her heart. She heard Axel sigh and she knew what he's going to ask her.

"Star, I don't want to rush you but I'm not a very patient guy. You still haven't given me your answer so I'm going to ask you again. Will you be my girlfriend? I've waited for 16 years already. Didn't you promise that you're going to be my bride when we were kids?" Axel says that made her even more nervous than she already is.

'But we were only kids back then. I didn't even know that you would be so serious about that promise' Star thought in her head. Axel noticed her unsure and nervous expression. He sighed again.

"Fine, I'm giving you a week think about it. This time think about what I said" Axel said and stood up, prepared to leave.

Before he left he gazed at Star's eyes sincerely. "I'm serious about you Star. I might be a playboy back in college but I've changed if that's what you're worried about" he said and smiled at her.

"After a week, I'll come back with a ring" he said and winked before closing the door leaving Star speechless. 'Did he just winked?' Star thought and even thought she won't admit it, he looked very handsome when he winked at her.

Right after Axel left Aluna and the other members entered the apartment while holding a lot of shopping bags from shops and boutiques.

"Leeaaaddeerrr!! We just came back from shopping and we met Mr. Easton on the way. You two are really lovey-dovey today" Etilia teases her but she didn't respond.

"What's wrong with her? Why is she frozen there?" Lala said and waved her hand in front of her face.

The reason why Star didn't notice them is because her mind is occupied with the thought of Axel and his proposal.
