The Vow

Jimin pulled Hoseok into the office cabin and locked the door behind them. Hoseok looked confused and nervous.

"Jimin, what are you doing? Why did you drag me here?"

"I need to talk to you. It's important."

"About what?"

"About your engagement. Do you really want to get married?", Jimin asked hoseok curiously.

"Of course I do. Why would you ask that?"

"Because you don't seem very excited about it. Don't you love Kook?"

"Yes, I do. More than anything."

"Then why don't you show it? Why don't you do something special for him?"

"Like what?", Hoseok was really bored with this conversation.

"Like... like a dramatic entrance!"

"A dramatic entrance? What do you mean?"

"You know, like in those movies. You can surprise him with a grand gesture and sweep him off his feet. You can make him feel like the luckiest guy in the world."

Hoseok nodded sarcastically, "Uh-uh, And how would I do that?"

Jimin spoke up excitedly, "Well... you can...You can rent a hot air balloon and fly over the venue and drop a basket of roses that says "I love you Kook" and then land in front of him and then fall on one knee and propose to him with a ring that has his name engraved on it. He will say yes and then you can exchange rings and kiss and everyone will clap and cheer and cry and it will be the most romantic thing ever! Or it would be, if the wind didn't blow you off course and make you crash into a tree. And if the roses didn't have thorns that pricked your fingers. And if the ring didn't get stuck on your finger. And if Kook didn't faint from the shock. But hey, at least you tried!"

Hoseok: ...

Hoseok stared at Jimin with disbelief.

"Are you insane?"

Jimin nodded happily, "No, I'm serious. It's a great idea."

"No, it's a terrible idea. It's a ridiculous idea. It's a dangerous idea. It's a crazy idea."

"No, it's not. It's a brilliant idea. It's a creative idea. It's a fun idea. It's a sweet idea", Jimin retorted.

"No, it's not. It's a stupid idea. It's a childish idea. It's a silly idea. It's a dumb idea."

"No, it's not. It's a perfect idea. Trust me, Kook will love it", Jimin tried to convince Hoseok.

"How do you know that? Have you asked him?"

"No, but he is my best friend and I know him well enough to know what he likes."

"Well, I know him better than you do and I know he doesn't like that kind of stuff", Hoseok said as a matter of factly.

"Oh, come on. He does too. He loves surprises and adventures and romance."

"No, he doesn't. He hates surprises and adventures and romance. He likes calmness and stability and simplicity."

"Well, maybe he doesn't know what he likes until he tries it."

"Or maybe he knows what he likes and he doesn't want to try anything else."
