Dear diary,

My cheeks are in a permanent pink blush since I mounted onto Taehyung at his mere sight. In his absence everything seemed dull, even the sky couldn't make up to his charms. "Missed me Junkookie?", he asked with a glint of tease as though my actions didn't say enough. My eyes never ceased pouring while reading his letter. I got to know from the superior that today is his birthday,glad he told me, Taehyung would have never mentioned it otherwise. There isn't much I can do with my limited resources, but while he was observing the stars I rearranged the tent a bit, made a biscuits pyramid resembling a cake, and prepared some warm soup. My erotic heart kept pounding vigorously against my chest threatening to breakthrough. Though I told him what he does to me it is important to have it conveyed verbally. As soon as he walked in, a smile spread across his face and I almost melted. Sitting on our mattress that I have put on top of each other to have it more like a chair with the cordial yellow of the lantern courteously highlighted his features and the cake in the middle, it was indeed romantic. I was trying to form a sentence when he looked around and said " It arrangment is quite beautiful, just like you ", if it was already hard to form a sentence now it seemed impossible. There was just us smiling at each other for a good five minutes until I blurted out " I love you ". Now, this was not quite the passionate confession I had installed for Taehyung, for heaven's sake, he wrote a poem for me and here I am. He chuckled at my comment and I sank further into the mattress, I so wished the ice beneath us would just swallow me. He softly asked, "What was that family supper custom you mentioned?". I had once vaguely mentioned my family performs glory before serving ourselves with the last meal of the day. I could read the curiosity from his face and without further silence, I continued. "In which all family members hold hands and thank god for the wonderful day and the bread provided after we take turns to thank almighty for anything particularly good happened that very day." I ranted at one go looking into his mysterious orbs that were desperately trying to convey something, something I couldn't read. He smiled and asked " Shall we? ", offering his hands to be held. I began the prayer remembering the lines my father used to say

" Our graciously heavenly father,

I thank thee for this wonderful day,

and for providing us bread to feed our empty stomach "

I slowly opened my then closed eyes only to be met with his deep ones and he squeezed my hands ever so lightly which certainly didn't go unnoticed by me. He took a deep breath and made his eyes pierce more into my soul and spoke

" Oh, lord...

I thank thee for making me realize how lucky I am

to have this wonderful man here, in my life

I will always remain eternally grateful to you,

for bringing Junkook into my life,

with whom I want to spend the rest of my life,

in both joy and sorrow "

He paused,

"Your smile makes me happy, I want to be the reason and the guardian of that smile adorning gracefully on your face, will you let me ?"

My smile widened and a small tear escaped I couldn't put my emotions into words and continued giving him his happiness until he claimed my lips with his own.
