Unlasting || Kim Taehyung

35: Promises

Jungkook drives you both right into the heart of the city, dozens of people walking around and filling the street. He pulls up to a massively tall building, and Taehyung gets out of the car. He runs over to the other side and opens it. You step out and take his hand.

"What's this?"

"Dinner." You smile as you look up at the building. He takes your hand and pulls you in.

It doesn't take long for you to get inside, the restaurant is massive, and you could easily tell it is expensive. You follow your waiter to your table and he brings you to a small table looking out into the city night.

"Wow." You look through the glass. All the small people and cars below glowing under the bright incense lights. You both get comfortable and you start to look at the menu, everything is extremely pricey, and you don't want to be emptying Taehyung's whole wallet. As if reading your mind, Taehyung grabs your attention.

"Choose anything you want. Don't worry about the cost." You smirk and continue to browse.

After ordering your food and drinks, Taehyung spends the next few minutes watching as you begin to eat, not in an uncomfortable way, but as if he was admiring a piece of art hanging in a museum.

"So," you pause as you chew. "How elaborate of a plan was this whole set up?"

He smiles and rests his elbows on the table. "Well it started on movie night, I asked Mari for her opinion on my plans for tonight, and she was eager to offer help."

"Wait, when did you talk to her?"

"When you went to grab food." You suddenly remember the two figures you thought you'd imagined. "She then made me plan a shopping day to make sure I had everything."

"Wait, when was this?"

"During 'guy time.'" Your jaw drops open and he chuckles.

"So you weren't with Jungkook?"

"Well he was there, but he was being forcefully dragged around. Mari didn't want you to find out if you saw him, so she made him come along. I also called Jin and Yoongi asked them to keep you entertained, though getting you drunk was not what I meant..." You shake your head and laugh.

"And the 'meeting with Jimin'..."

"Was me setting things up," he says with a bright smile, and you take a sip of your glass.

You spend the rest of the night discussing more nonchalant things, talking to him was so easy, you've never felt so comfortable around anyone in your life. The fact that he went through so much trouble to make you happy, is something you'll never forget. It's like he always knows exactly what to do to bring a smile to your face.

The waiter then comes back to the table, placing a small plate with a cupcake in the center before turning and heading back into the kitchen before you can say anything.

"Did we order dessert?" you ask, looking in the direction of the waiter, thinking he'd made a mistake.

"I did." Taehyung grins before reaching into his pocket. He pulls out a singular candle and a liter, and puts it in the center of the cupcake as the smirk on your face grows. He flicks the steel of the lighter a few times before bringing the flame to the candle and lighting it.

"Make a wish," he says as he slides the plate over to you.

You smile and bring both your elbows up to rest on the table. "I don't even know what to wish for... I already have so much."
