When your countdown appeared on your wrist right on the morning of your eighteenth birthday, you had thought that perhaps the universe was on your side, especially since the final seconds were already ticking so soon. You just never expected to have...

Bovine has always looked elegant and charming at night, the perfect place for lovers and friends to gather for dinner and hang out at to enjoy some drinks.
But as Jungkook comes to visit the place again after a long time, he soon realises that even in the daylight, the establishment looks just as beautiful as how he remembers it. It makes Jungkook smile when he recalls how much you enjoyed it when he brought you here for the special anniversary dinner a while back.
Entering the restaurant area of Bovine, Jungkook looks around, enjoying the interior look and the decorations that seem to have been upgraded during the past year he hasn't been coming to this place. Leading the way is Tasha, who was introduced to him by Namjoon as the managing director of Bovine. Namjoon is also there, walking by his side to give him support, and Jungkook is more than grateful to have him around since he isn't so good at dealing with these things.
"How many people are you inviting?" Tasha asks as she leads them further to a different area at the back of the restaurant.
Jungkook looks away from the small dry garden located at the side of the restaurant, the feature that you had once gushed about. "Uhm—I'm guessing we'll have somewhere around 10 to 12 people? With our parents, siblings, and our best friends. Not counting myself and my girlfriend, obviously," he answers while he lists the people that he is contacting for the dinner event. He doesn't want to make it big, but with his best friends already finding their soulmates, there is no doubt that he would have to consider them too.
Meanwhile, Tasha nods as she does the count in her head. "So, it's okay if I set the place up for fifteen people, right? Just in case you have more people coming."
"I think that sounds like a good idea," Jungkook says as he looks around the seating area. "Is it okay to reserve such a big group here? It's going to take a lot of space, isn't it?"
Tasha looks over once again and winks. "Don't you worry about it," she says. "Just follow me."
Sharing a quick exchange of glances, Namjoon and Jungkook follow her further to the back, entering a different space at the deeper area of the establishment which opens up to a different garden, much similar to the one you admired before but looking rather smaller and new. Even the seating area is a smaller-scale compared to the main dining hall, though it feels more exclusive and private, and just as beautiful.
