Yes, but in the end there was a time skip of a few years where each of them continued with their lives without seeing each other. He became a professional photographer and she became a famous idol, and they meet again by chance at a photoshoot, and that's where the MC proposes to her. That time skip ruined the ending of the novel for me, since I don't think they ever became boyfriend and girlfriend or confessed their feelings; only at the very end, after the time skip, does the MC propose out of the blue, and they get married and live happily ever after.
