No, it's actually Sage who proposes. She'll put a ring on MC's finger while he's sleeping and then announces their engagement on Rooster. Should the MC try to protest then Sage can take out Arieth's pregnancy test and pretend it's hers
You aren't another one of those people who skimmed through the Interlude once 3 years ago when it was first released and then make stuff up in their heads, are you?
Zoey didn't move away for any relationship reasons. She moved away because she wanted to chase her dreams like most young adults at her age do. Would you prohibit your partner from studying something far away if it's the only way to learn the necessary skills? If you're a reasonable person then not, right? Plus, Zoey was mourning and wanted to make her grandmother proud. It had nothing to do with Zoey not being interested in their relationship. She even asked the MC to come with her.
Zoey also wasn't happy to forget about the MC. Things were awkward between them due to the MC's drama queen behavior and lack of support and it was Bret who ill-advised the inexperienced girl to cut down on communication, but Zoey still kept thinking about him. If you paid attention to her thoughts, memories and diary entries, you'd notice how deeply Zoey's always cared about the MC. It wasn't a baseless declaration in ep11 that she's loved him for years.
It's also not because the MC is in a relationship, it's his words during the BBQ event that act as a catalyst to open her eyes. The MC being in a relationship and/or Zoey knowing about it prior to ep11 isn't even canon. If you agree to hang out in ep10, the most she can learn is that Jill is his girlfriend. With throuple and Sage the MC confesses he's only dating and Bella remains a secret regardless, for obvious reasons. Besides, Zoey's even happy for the MC. only after the BBQ talk and another Bret's advice, she decides to take the leap of faith. Obviously you can always say no to her. Just like you can refuse the throuple after forced feelings, Jill after a series of forced dates, Sage after being coerced to deal with her boyfriend issues, Bella after drunken kiss etc. There's no doom and destruction waiting like AI Nora constantly announces.
It's a story about two inexperienced teenagers who enter a de facto romantic relationship so smoothly neither even realises it before being separated from each other. Zoey's character arc also involves going from being too uncomfortable to talk about feelings to bawling her eyes out in front of Bret by the end of the interlude and putting it to practice at the Christmas party.
