Chapter IV: Secret Plans

Jimin and Jungkook had made plans for the weekend to finally check out one of the restaurants which were famous for their impeccable view over Seoul's sky line. Jungkook had looked them all up online and decided which one he wanted to visit first. He didn't have a lot of free time so he arranged a reservation beforehand.

They had planned to go shopping for rings first as the older, being Taehyung's best friend, would know his preferences and give Jungkook the best advise. The youngest would browse the many shops Seoul had to offer online, gathering as much information as he could for hours and finally set his eyes on one particular workshop.

When they arrived around noon they were greeted by a lovely old man around his 70s or 80s. He had most likely done this job his whole life. That's the reason Jungkook chose this store out of many. He and Taehyung appreciated the skill of traditional crafters.

"Good day" they greeted the elder with a respectful 90 degree bow upon entering. "I wanted to ask if it was possible to craft engagement rings with my own ideas." the crafter nodded at him with a warm wrinkled smile.

"I want rings with maybe a traditional touch?" Jungkook told him about the details he would love to decorate their rings with. He explained how they should look: thin silver rings with details of leaves and a little embedded flower in the centre consisting of small red petals.

"Maybe a red ruby or red tourmaline? If that's possible. Here, I made a sketch as well." he pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket.

Jimin listened carefully and nodded along with every detail he learned. "You don't even need my help with this" he whispered with an amused grin on his lips. "I was so nervous, thank you for joining me." he replied quietly.

"Yes, I think I know exactly what you want. It's possible to craft them the way you want." Jungkook let out a sigh of relief. "When do you need the rings to be done? I think I will need around 4 weeks. Do you have the ring size?"

"Oh yes, that would be perfect! There would still be plenty of time for me to plan the date. Here, I managed to take his favourite ring without him noticing." he paused for a second, hoping the man didn't notice the slip of his tongue.

But he only smiled at him with a hearty expression. "Love is a wonderful thing, it comes in different forms and who am I to judge such a sweet emotion? I am looking forward to listening to the story of your proposal with my rings."

Jungkook looked at Jimin with a clearly relieved expression, he only smiled back. "Thank you very much, I will come to collect the rings in around four weeks then. Maybe you could give me a call?" the man nodded, then bowed and vanished to the back of his workshop.

The friends departed and headed directly towards the restaurant as their appointment was due soon. Jungkook asked for a little tour before being seated in a private room for dinner. He wanted to make sure he was given the best view for his perfect date with Taehyung.

After their arrival they were greeted by a friendly waiter who showed them around the location. They didn't open until six, so there were about 30 minutes left for the tour.

The restaurant was a mix of classy and modern. Their windows were clear and huge, giving the guests a panoramic view over Seoul. The main room was divided into two areas, one where only drinks were served and the other for dining.

It also had a total of four private rooms, each with a small balcony attached to them, a big sofa directed to the huge panoramic windows, showing them the best view of Seoul's breathtaking sky line. "Do you have any idea which room would have the best sunset view around the end of summer?"

The waiter showed them to the room and Jungkook was immediately convinced it was perfect. "If you want we can change today's reservation to this room. You can take your time inspecting the view while enjoying the food."
