The Proposal

SEOKJIN

So he had everything planned...near enough. He had booked one of the fanciest restaurants in Seoul, In Space, located at the Arario Museum. The courses were going to cost a pretty penny but this night had been about a month in the making and he wasn't going to let anything ruin this.

In a private area of the restaurant, a table for two had been set up with a vase of a dozen red roses in the middle, expensive wine and an expensive private chef to cook the food in front of you. Convincing you to come to a restaurant like this, to glam up and put on the fanciest dress you had, was a trial in itself. It wasn't your anniversary or your birthday or Seokjin's birthday. So why the need for fancy?

"Because I pulled a few favours to try this place and I'm eating there at least once in my life," Seokjin had explained while going through your wardrobe to find one of the dresses he liked. So you got glammed up, got in the hired car and here you were, wondering not for the first time in the evening what was happening.

By the time dessert came along, the two of you were completely stuffed. You certainly got what you paid for with a four-course meal, using fine ingredients, with an incredible view and a private chef to talk you through what he was cooking and how he was cooking it.

The dessert was a round chocolate ball, with various flavours of sorbet and ice cream and a pot of melted chocolate to pour over the ball. Seokjin grinned behind his hand as he watched you pick up the pot and with childlike glee, pour the chocolate over the ball and watch it melt like magic.

Now you'd expect the ball to be filled with some kind of cheesecake or dessert but instead, the ring Seokjin had picked out those years ago laid perfectly in its open box, glinting in the candlelight.

"No way," you gasped as you put the pot down then turned to look at your boyfriend with amazement. "And here I thought I forgot our anniversary."

"No, that's another three months away. This," he said as he plucked the ring out of its box and held it in front of you, "is a proposal. One I've spent a lot of time on so it would be wonderful if you said yes otherwise it's going to look a bit awkward."

Only he could downplay his own proposal, make it seem like nothing when it was everything and the ring he had picked was simply gorgeous. "Well let's not make things awkward. Yes, one hundred times yes."

It certainly wasn't awkward when he slipped the ring onto your finger, it wasn't awkward when he kissed you, it wasn't awkward when you finally realised what was happening and you were engaged to your best friend. It became a little awkward when the staff started cheering, the chef cheering louder about how his chocolate invention worked perfectly this time.

YOONGI

You both had decided to go to your parents for Christmas this year with plans to meet Yoongi's parents for the New Year. It had been hard to do something with both sets of parents because of Yoongi's schedule but now the group was focusing on solo projects, this meant holidays were now family time.

One of the traditions your parents kept up was stockings at the end of the bed that could be opened in the morning before coming down for the main presents and since Yoongi had come into your life all those years ago, they had one ready for him at the end of your bed. It was a cute little tradition, stockings filled with random bits and bobs.

You both had snuck something in each stocking the night before, thinking each other wouldn't have a clue what was going on. For Yoongi, it had been the perfect time to finally propose to you. He could do it in the comfort of your family home, yet not in front of your parents (you never know, something could go wrong). That didn't mean he hadn't already spoken to them beforehand about plans to propose to you and had received their blessings, so he was now more than ready to get that ring on your finger.
