Disclaimer: I own Tae Kyung and all his friends. That's right. Bwahaha-(Delusional dream)

"Aish!" Hwang Tae Kyung angrily ripped the crooked bow tie from his neck and started over. It was the fifth time.

Tae Kyung frowned at his hands. If only they would stop shaking, he would get it right. He checked his reflection in the mirror; it was immaculate: perfect clothes and shoes and without a hair out of place- if only the stupid bow tie would stay straight!

"Okay Tae Kyung, breathe. You're not nervous; you're in control." His hands weren't buying it. "Aish, fine! I'll go without it." He threw down the offending piece of cloth.

"Hyung-nim, I'm ready." Go Mi Nyu entered the room in a midnight blue dress with her long brown hair let down. Tae Kyung blinked for a few seconds.

"Ah, blue matches. Makes the pig rabbit look pretty."

Mi Nyu smiled bashfully. "You look nice too hyung-nim."

Tae Kyung raised an eyebrow, "Nice?"

Mi Nyu's smile widened. "I mean very handsome." She raised two enthusiastic thumbs up to prove her point. Her attention was then diverted to the floor.

Tae Kyung followed her gaze to the discarded bow tie.

"It's defective."

"Ah." With a knowing smile, Mi Nyu picked up the bow tie and walked over to her boyfriend.

"Don't choke me," he warned.

"I won't." She then proceeded to expertly loop the bow tie. "Over, under, you pull and there." She finished with a flourish.

"Tight…Go…Mi Nyu…choking." Tae Kyung struggled to breathe.

"Oh…oh…hold on," she loosened the tie and gave a sheepish smile, "Can you breathe now?"

Tae Kyung gasped, "Shouldn't you know how to tie bow ties from your days as pig rabbit man?"

"Hyung-nim! Mine were clip ons." Mi Nyu retied the tie. "There, it's not defective anymore." She smiled up at him.

"Erm…thanks," he cleared his throat.

Go Mi Nyu peered at him closely. "Hyung-nim, are you alright? You seem nervous."

"Ha, nervous!" Tae Kyung looked around incredulously. "What is there to be nervous about? I'm not nervous. Nervous, ha! I need to use the bathroom."

Tae Kyung abruptly turned around and walked quickly to the bathroom leaving behind a startled Go Mi Nyu. He locked the door and washed his face with cold water.

"Composed, composed, I'm composed," he growled at his reflection. He stuck his hand into his pocket and pulled out a small black box. He stared at it with dread.

It was his and Go Mi Nyu's fourth anniversary, and he was going to propose.

There was a knock on the door. Tae Kyung jumped, almost dropping the box.

"Hyung-nim…hyung-nim, are you alright?"

"I'm coming." Tae Kyung hid the box in his pocket, took a deep breathe, and opened the door. A wide-eyed worried Mi Nyu met him on the other side.

"Let's go." Hwang Tae Kyung's eyes burned with determination, and he quickly walked past her.

"Umm, okay. Wait! You forgot your car keys." She grabbed the keys and ran to catch up with him.

FLASHBACK

Tae Kyung sat at his desk at the A.N. Entertainment headquarters. He was the president now that a year ago President Ahn departed to paradise. Ahn decided that the stress of show business was not for him and was now living in Hawaii growing pineapples.

Scrunched up papers with charts, circles, Xs, and "Bad plan" written on them were scattered around the room. Tae Kyung, though, wasn't paying attention to the mess. He sat rigidly in his chair and stared at the open black box on his desk.

"How am I supposed to give this to her without looking stupid?" He mumbled.

Just then, the door opened and the director of the company came in.

"Hey, hyung. They want you at the sound recording for the movie…Whoa, what happened here?"

Tae Kyung lunged for the box, but he was too late. Go Mi Nam realized what it was.

"Is that a ring…Oh my god, IT'S AN ENGAGEMENT RING! You're goinmmmf." Tae Kyung's hand came crushing down on Go Mi Nam's mouth.

"Will you shut up!"

"What's going on," the vice president and project leader walked in, "Wow hyung. What did you do to your office?" Jeremy looked at the two figures nervously. "Um, are you going to kill Go Mi Nam?"

Go Mi Nam ripped the hand from his mouth. "Tae Kyung has an engagement ring!"

Tae Kyung quickly locked the door. He was about to lunge at Go Mi Nam again but changed his mind and went to his desk to desensitize his hand.

"Wah…hyung…you're going to propose!" Jeremy stared at him with wide, excited eyes.

Go Mi Nam glanced around the room. "By the looks of it, she said no and he went on a rampage."

Kang Shin Woo picked up one of the papers. "Hmm, I don't think he proposed yet."

Curious, Jeremy picked up a scrunched up paper ball, carefully unfolded it, and proceeded to read it out loud, "Have her clean and accidently find it."

Mi Nam picked up another one, "Have the mailmen deliver it."

Shin Woo joined in, "Send a trained dog to her. Have her follow it. Make it lead her to an "X" on the ground and tell her to dig."

"Wow hyung, all of your ideas really suck." Jeremy jumped behind Shin Woo when he noticed his hyung's death glare.

Tae Kyung slumped. "I know."

The three intruders blinked. Was Hwang Tae Kyung admitting to something short of perfection?

Jeremy was the first one to snap out of it. A figurative light bulb blinked on in his head. He began to jump up and down excitedly.

"Hyung…hyung- we can help. We'll make you sweep Mi Nyu off of her feet." He frowned and pointed an accusing finger at Tae Kyung. "Wait- you are proposing to Go Mi Nyu, right?"

Tae Kyung was taken aback. "Of course. Who else would I propose to?"

"Okay, then we'll definitely help you."

"Yeah, we'll make it suck less."

Shin Woo just smiled and nodded. This was going to be amusing.

PRESENT

Tae Kyung concentrated on the road. Mi Nyu sat besides him and talked excitedly about the new building that was being added to the orphanage. She lived and worked at an orphanage on the outskirts on Seoul. On the weekends either she stayed at Tae Kyung's downtown apartment or he stayed with her in the country.

"There will be a large playroom, and three more classrooms will be added."

"Mmm." Tae Kyung tried to concentrate on her words, but the weight of the box prevented him from focusing on anything else.

The mood was perfect. The lights were low, Dean Martin sang in the background, and the smell of orchids filled the air. They just finished laughing about something. This was the time. He got down on one knee and took out the black box. He gazed deeply into her beautiful chocolate eyes. "Go Mi Nyu, will you marry me?"

The music stopped short and bright harsh light filled the scene. Go Mi Nyu's smile turned into a frown.

"Yeesh, I suffered through four years with you, and you want me to stay with you forever? No thanks. It's been fun, but I think I'll be better off as a nun." She smirked, got up and walked away leaving behind a heartbroken Tae Kyung.

Tae Kyung violently shook the thought from his head.

"Hyung-nim, are you sure you're alright?" Go Mi Nyu's voice finally broke through.

He quickly glanced at her and focused back on the road. "I'm fine," he answered curtly.

"But you seem so distracted."

"Go Mi Nyu, I'm not distracted. Orphanage. New building. Three classrooms added. I heard it all."

"Ah, but I said that ten minutes ago."

He paused. His eyes darted back and forth. He could feel her eyes on him- demanding an explanation.

"I guess I have been distracted. I was just thinking about…work. A.N. Entertainment is very busy."

"Oh, is that why you stayed out so late with oppa, Shin Woo-hyung, and Jeremy?"

"Yeah."

FLASHBACK

"Ok, from the top."

Romantic DVDs, movie scripts, and various snacks were scattered helter-skelter around the room- they were in Jeremy's apartment.

"No, you have to add feeling. Again." Jeremy paced back and forth giving orders to the two miserable figures in the middle.

"Oh, hyung-nim."

"Go Mi Nyu…Oh, I can't do it! This is just too creepy. Go Mi Nam, take off that wig right now. This is ridiculous." Tae Kyung's patience burst.

"How dare you call me ridiculous. You had your chance, but now there is no way I'm going to marry you." Go Mi Nam answered in a falsetto voice.

"Go Mi Nam, quit it. We're done."

"Darn right we're done! You are not good enough for me."

"I told you to quit it," Tae Kyung was beginning to look dangerous.

Jeremy stamped his feet and cut in between the two.

"Yah, hyung, you're ruining it. You're supposed to be loving not murderous. How are you going to sweep Mi Nyu off of her feet with that expression? Have your feelings burst. Tell her you see nobody but her, that you would take a bullet for her. Tell her that your love can move mountains. Stick with the script!"

"Aish, my ideas are beginning to sound better and better."

Jeremy ignored him. "Now we need a theme. Every great drama has a theme. Forbidden love. One lover has a terminal illness. No! Both lovers are terminally ill. No, I got it! In order to save her lover, the women pretends to be in love with someone else. She is going to be married, yet the two lovers long for each other…Ah, true love." The blond looked like he was about to burst.

Tae Kyung snorted. "Jeremy, where do you get these ideas?"

"I read it in a fanfiction."

Go Mi Nam looked confused. "Okay, I got lost at theme. What are we discussing?"

"Never mind, we'll think of a theme later," Jeremy turned to the serene figure on the couch. "Hey, hyung, you have experience; how did you propose to Sung Mi-Ok?"

Shin Woo was calmly sipping tea, petting Jeremy's dozing dog, enjoying the show. He was surprised to be addressed.

"Well, I just took her to dinner and popped the question," he answered simply.

"Hmm, a dinner might work."

Ok, this is my sad attempt at a You're Beautiful story. It was supposed to be a one-shot, but its too darn long, so there will be additional chapters. They're written in my school notebook. It's just a matter of transferring them to the computer, but I type like 5 words per minute, so it'll take a while. Heh. Like it? Hate it? Did I completely destroy the characters? Review!

Special thanks to thebestest11 whose amazing story inspired me to write my own story. Thanks girl ^o^
