Day 1.

You rushed in quick footsteps to reach the restaurant where he had been waiting for you at, hiding your frozen hands inside your coat. You were 30 minutes late from the hour he had set for the date, but that wasn’t the main reason why you were so anxious about reaching to where he was, and the traffic was not the reason why you took your time on your way.

You took deep breaths within each steps that you made over the slippery sidewalks, trying your best to calm the tightness inside your chest, the weight that was on your shoulder for keeping your feelings for too long, for not being able to tell him the whole truth that you had been hiding beneath the mask you had constantly wore.

Tonight I will tell him everything.

That was the decision that you took the moment you made the first step out of your home, the one decision you took after ten minutes of pondering in your living room and staring at the pictures of your childhood. The pictures which also showed his presence throughout your entire life.

The bell over the restaurant’s front door chimed as you passed its entrance, welcomed by the familiar scent of pasta and wine, and the warm smile of the concierge. You had been a regular in this restaurant for years, that she immediately recognized you and showed you where he was waiting.

You followed her, and you soon caught the sight of him on one of the dining table, still waiting calmly for your arrival. Until he lifted his face and his expression lighted up the minute he saw you walking over to him.

He stood from his chair to welcome you with a wide genuine smile, which you returned with your own, regardless of the weight of the words that was so ready to slip through your tongue.

“Taehyung- I’m so sorry for being late,” you spoke to him as you stopped right before you reached the table, and you were now standing face to face with the man who had been present in every single picture you kept safe in your home.

You had planned everything in your head. From the words that you had wanted to say to him, to how you would say it to him, and to the point of where would you go after everything had taken place.

But that was before you noticed the situation of the room where you were standing at.

Right when you opened your lips to speak, you lifted your gaze to look around and found many familiar faces, many pairs of eyes staring at you expectantly. And you could feel the laid out plans in your head evaporating into wishful thinking the moment your eyes turned back into his way.

You instantly forgot the words you had planned to speak out when you saw him there - already kneeling on the floor with one of his hands extended towards you, a small red velvet box which he held between his fingers were opened, showing you the diamond ring inside that was blinding your eyes with its brightness. You instantly forgot your original intention of coming to that place, every thoughts were replaced by the reality that was being laid before you.

The only thing you could hear after was the rapid heartbeat inside your chest, your own deep breathing, and the long ringing sound in your ear for having to face your biggest fear. The sound of his voice saying all the sweet things he had been planning to say to you all week was too far and too faint that it was hard to believe that everything that was happening wasn’t a dream.

It took you moments before finding the words to say to him, to answer the questions you faintly heard coming from him. And what you gave him was the only thing that you could ever muster to say - after catching the sight of your Mother across the room who was already on the verge of shedding tears while clinging to your Father’s arm, along with the sight of his parents that were beaming with hope and pride.

“Yes, Taehyung. I will marry you.”

The sound of cheers and applause cleared out the ringing sound in your ears and you soon realized what you have done. You let your tears run down on your cheeks when he pulled you into a hug. The sound of people cooing and their whispers of awe was heard as you hid your face on his shoulder.

Can you guys tell who these are? I guess you all know who
