SEOKJIN

He had spotted the ring one day while generally browsing through a jewellery website, with the idea of buying a pair of earrings for your anniversary but he somehow wandered towards the engagement rings. It had been on his mind lately, seemingly every advert on the TV or on billboards hinting at the idea of couples getting engaged during the season.

It's not that he didn't want to, he just didn't know how yet. It was approaching your six year anniversary, longer than most couples that he knew and long enough for his mother to be hinting at grandchildren.

Jin's eyes took in the detail of the pink stone surrounded by a halo of small diamonds, with more diamonds along the gold band. 'Matches my mic,' he thought to himself as he scrolled down to the description, ignored the price completely and read the instructions about the sizes. Shrugging and having no clue, he went for what he thought was the right size, paused only briefly at the checkout page and suddenly he had a confirmation for his order in his inbox.

"There, ready to go," he was happy with his choice and more than happy about making the right decision. If he hadn't already got everything planned in his head, it wouldn't take long to put plans in motion anyway.

It would lay in his bedside table for another year, the opportunity never right and never when he had the ring with him but one day it was going to happen.

The sapphire glittered in the sun, the small diamonds along the band sparkling at him as Yoongi admired the emerald cut of the stone. He had left the studio two hours earlier, his mind jumbled with thoughts about music, comebacks, life, tangerines and the like. He needed fresh air and a random walk into the city (masked up and in disguise) led him towards a jewellery shop. His feet knew where to take him even if his mind didn't.

There had been no talk of marriage, the both of you content in life as it was and seeing no need for change. Yet the sapphire ring caught his eye the moment he stepped near the window and he hadn't been able to look away, every other option was simply too boring or not enough. You were unique - enjoying the simple things in life compared to the extravagant life of an idol boyfriend, preferring to enjoy a mug of tea in the morning rather than coffee, painting the bedroom a dark navy because it soothed you rather than the traditional white.

A moment of doubt flashed through him as he opened the door to the jewellers, patting his jacket pocket for a moment to make sure he had brought his wallet. The assistant drew his attention and he pulled the mask down enough, not sure if he would be recognised but wary of it all the same.

"I'd like to take a look at the sapphire ring in the window - middle row, fourth one to the left."

The ring was you in every sense and so he bought it there and then. The ring stayed with him constantly and more often than not, remained locked up in the studio, ready and waiting to be placed on your finger. There was no rush and the right moment would soon spring up.
