"What flower thrives in Autumn? For I, am that flower. I am wasted and wilted through Spring and Summer. Give me a crisp October, and I will burst forth in all my glory."
Seungri grins at you, "That's kind of poetic. Are you going to write songs with me now?"
You return his boyish grin and take a sip of your coffee. Cool mornings like this, wrapped up together, looking out your picture window into the new day alive with color, are just what you two needed. The stress of this past year of Hell was getting to both of you. Now, on a break together in the countryside, you can breathe.
You let your head fall back into his shoulder and he presses a kiss to your temple. You sigh with contentment as he gives you a gentle squeeze.
"What should we do today?" He asks.
"Hmm," you start," well we spent the whole day in bed yesterday. Why don't we explore the nearby town today. It looked really cute on the way here."
He nuzzles your neck, "You didn't mind staying in bed with me though right?"
You giggle a little with the memory and the way he's slightly tickling your neck, "Do I ever mind?"
You untangle from each other to get ready to go out. He looks great as usual, and you put on something cute but cozy.

You drive into the small town at the bottom of the hill from the cottage you rented for the weekend.

It's charming, picturesque, and far removed from the busy city life you both deal with on a daily basis. The best part of all... there's little to no chance you will be recognized or pestered to death. The shops are lovely and even sleepy looking. There's an ever so slight bite of chill in the air and a deep breath of it awakens your spirit. You lace your fingers with his as you glance in the windows of shops.
"Look here," Seungri says pointing in a window, "they have some really pretty antiques and things. Let's go in."
You give a small nod as he leads you both inside. The small space is warm with a tiny fireplace. A very fat cat stretches and yawns when the shop bell rings and wakes him. The chubby, bespectacled, old lady behind the counter welcomes you both and offers help is needed. You both smile at her and start looking around. Seungri, not missing one chance to be silly, picks up some old fashioned hats and starts trying them on and vogues with them. You join in and laugh at each other.
"Jagi, we should dress like this more. This is fun," he grins placing a beaded flapper hat on your head.
"Maybe so, I do look amazing," you blow him a kiss and wink.
After being silly you walk over to the fat fireplace cat while Seungri leans over a display of Art Deco looking jewelry. You make friends and pet him as he purrs and slowly blinks.
Stretching back up you ask, "Are you ready?"
"Actually, give me just a minute I'll be right out."
You nod and walk out as the door rings and closes behind you. Thinking he's probably found something he wants, you shuffle into a coffee shop next door and order a cup for each of you. You meet Seungri back on the sidewalk just as he's walking out with a small bag in his hand.
"Whatcha got there?" You ask swallowing a sip of coffee and handing him his.
He gestures," Let's walk over to that bench with our coffee and I'll show you."
You stroll over and have a seat with a sigh and wait for him to show you. He sits beside you and, opening his bag, pulls out an old looking little box.

"Oh how cool!" You take it from him and study the cameo on top.
He stands back up in front of you and points at the clasp, "Open it, it's really neat inside."
You open it with a grin, and your eyes get bigger when you see what's inside.

"Wooooow," you breathe lifting the ring from the box.
You look up with the ruby ring in your hand and notice Seungri is kneeling in front of you.
"What-what are you doing?"
Seungri smiles as he takes the ring from your hand and sets the box in the bench beside you. He looks into your eyes and holding the ring out towards you says, "I want to come here every year together for the rest of our lives. I want to live with you, be with you, have a family with you. You've been there with me through it all, and I can't imagine being without you by my side."
Your heart melts in your chest, and you put your hands on each side of his face. "Me either."
He smiles and a tear slips from his eyes, "Will you marry me?"
Without a moment's hesitation you kiss him hard. He stands up lifting you with him. When you break the kiss he asks, "Is that a yes?"
You giggle and wipe tears from your eyes, "YES!"
He slips the ring on your hand and kisses it.
"I had no idea, were you planning this?" You ask.
He shrugs, "Yes and no. I wanted to ask. I just wasn't sure where or when. I saw that ring, and loved this place. So..."
You smile into his eyes, "Well, it was perfect."
He wraps his arms around your waist, "Should we get married here too? Like now?"
You give him a playful swat, "Yeah like we need more scandal."
He gets a thoughtful expression, then with another shrug, "Meh, fuck 'em."
