"Happy Anniversary..."

He whispers in my ear, placing a light kiss on my neck. He lets me go, instead walking around to face me, holding his hand out for me to take.

I'm rendered speechless, unable to form any words. I say nothing, reaching my hand out to take his. He leads me to the table. He gently removes his hand from mine to pull a chair out for me, which I comply and sit down, blinking rapidly.

He sits down in the chair opposite me and I stare at him. He notices my shocked expression and lets out a light chuckle.

I open my mouth and inhale loudly, getting ready to speak. "When did you do all of this?" I ask him, stuttering my words.

"When you were out shopping with Hyerin." He responded, giving me a gummy smile. 

"Wait, she knew? She was in on it?" I ask confused. 

"Yeah, she helped get you out of the house so I could set it up without you knowing. I wanted to surprise you. It's also why I haven't spoke to you today. I wanted everything to be a surprise." He says, reaching across the table to intertwine his fingers with mine.

"Well... I'm definitely surprised." I say, letting out a small chuckle. I look around me, observing the surroundings and admiring the little details that he's done. From the lights in the tree's, the candles setting the mood, even the sun setting across the lake.

"This is..." I trail off, shaking my head shockingly. "Unbelievable. Beautiful. Amazing..." I say. "You like it?" He asks, tilting his head cutely. 

"I love it, Yoongi. I love you..." I say, sitting up and reaching across the table, he copies my action and our lips touch gently. He pulls away slightly. 

"I love you too." He whispers, before we lean back into our seats.

Just as I started to come back down to earth, I see a man I've never seen before approach our table, asking us if we're ready. I look at Yoongi. 

"Did you hire staff? In our backyard?" I ask him. "Yeah, tonight's a very special occasion." He replies nonchalantly.

"Yeah, we're ready." He says to the waiter. 

"Are there more surprises?" I ask him, not knowing what he has planned next. 

"Maybe." He says, not giving much away.

I feel very under dressed. Yoongi is wearing a beautifully patterned velvet suit with a bow tie, and I'm wearing a plain sweater with jeans and converse.

"Can I go change? I bought some clothes today and a dress in case we were going out." I say shyly, tugging at the hem of my sweater. He gives me a smile 

"We're at home, you don't need to worry about your clothes. You look beautiful whatever you wear." He says, lightly caressing my hand with his thumb.

"But you've made such an effort... I want to do the same." I reply. 

"Sure, I'll wait for you." He says, and I quickly get up and run to my bags, grabbing the dress and heading upstairs to change.

I stare at myself in the mirror for a few minutes, wondering if I should wear it or not. Hyerin picked it out and said it'd be perfect for tonight, even though I protested. I thought it was too revealing...

I'm wearing a long blood red flower patterned dress with a plunging neck line and a slit from the thigh, paired with diamond strapped heels.

Is this too much? Is it too revealing? I never wear things like this.

I argue with myself in my head whether I should confidently go back to Yoongi wearing this, or just throw on any other dress I have. I feel nervous all of a sudden...

I realise I've left him alone for over 15 minutes. I suck up my courage and confidently walk down the stairs in the dress.

You look fucking sexy. Own it, Jangmi.

I walk down the path, turning the corner to find Yoongi sat at the table alone with a plate of food in front of him, untouched.

He turns his head when he notices me walking closer towards him. His eyes are locked onto me, travelling up and down my body. His lips are parted and I can see him fidgeting in his seat. I smile to myself, knowing the effect I have on him and calmly take my seat across from him; his head following me as I move.

"Oh, the food's here?" I say innocently, pretending I don't notice Yoongi's gaze on me.

"Y-yeah..." He stutters his words, trailing off. "That's the dress you bought today?" He asks in a surprised tone. 

"Mhm." I hum, elegantly placing the food in my mouth. I feel like a Queen.

"You look beautiful, jagiya." He says, trying to compose himself. I blush slightly at the compliment. 

"Thank you, you look amazing too." I respond, giving him a smile.

We talk and eat for a while. The night is magical and I don't think anything could make it better. We finish our meal and our glasses of champagne, then Yoongi stands up, again reaching his hand out for me to take.

I slowly get up, holding his hand. He leads me back inside, not saying a word to me.

He takes me to the conservatory, and inside is a small table in the middle of the room decorated with more petals, candles and a bottle of very expensive looking champagne with two glasses.

"More surprises?" I ask him with a smirk. 

"I did say maybe..." He responds, smirking back. We sit down at the table and he passes me a glass.

"I can't believe you've gone through all of this trouble and set up this for me, for us." I say sincerely whilst taking the glass from his hand.

"It's the least you deserve, Jangmi. You're amazing and you deserve the world." He says, looking in my eyes.

He looks away and starts fidgeting in his seat again, suddenly looking nervous. He's taking sips of his drink frequently, looking around the room. I tilt my head at him. He reaches over and gently grabs my hand.

And then he opens his mouth to speak.

"Jangmi... I-" He stutters. "I love you. So much... You've made me feel complete. I'd never been in love before I met you. But you changed that, you made me experience the feeling of being in love for the first time. I have cherished every second of being with you for the last year, and I can't imagine my life without you."

I feel tears my tears building listening to his beautiful and sincere words. As I listen and take in every word, he gently lets go of my hand, reaching into his pocket. My eyes follow his action.

"And because I can't imagine my life without you, I want you to promise to stay with me. Until we're old and grey, until death do us part." He says, gulping on the last word.

He pulls out a small, black leather box from his pocket. My eyes widen at the sight, my heart accelerating and my breathing starting to become irregular. Is this what I think this is?

He opens the box, and inside is a small light beaming down onto the most beautiful ring I have ever laid my eyes on. It looks way too expensive to be on my hand.

He looks back into my eyes, continuing his speech.

"Jangmi, I want us to spend the rest of our lives together."

"Will you marry me?"
