Chapter 43

Since it was Sunday the restaurant was crowded with people waiting in the waiting hall. Kim Seokjin was feeling pain forming in his hands which he was using most of the time. He had been in the kitchen cooking and preparing the orders along with other chefs. He made sure to always be there to guide the new workers and help them with cooking skills.

"Order number 178, Table number 18! Chocolate Ravioli with mushroom white sauce pasta and chicken dumplings side dish."

"Got it! Mark, take that order and work on the pasta. I will take the Ravioli." Kim Seokjin ordered his assistant who was nodding his head while stirring the beef soup.

"Yes, chef!"  The kitchen was filled with sounds of cooking and yelling. They didn't know what time it was. But they still kept on working until the bell would ring which would indicate them that the timing was over.

The restaurant was running from morning 9am to evening 9pm. Yes, they didn't want to stress the workers and make it long hours. Seokjin had been there in that situation, and he hated working late hours. So he made sure that his servers and waiters get time to sleep and eat and rest.

"No mobile in the kitchen, Jinwa. Didn't I make sure that on your first day?" Seokjin tried to warn the new comer who was using her mobile phone in the working hours.

"But Oppa, I just got a text from my boyfriend and he wants to meet me after work!" Jinwa was a newly graduate student from culinary arts, and Seokjin gave the job right away after tasting her Kimchi which she prepared in her competition on hiring process. She was cute and bubbly girl, and had a soft spot in Seokjin's heart.

They were like best buddies and always shared their interests and talked random topics during free times.

"Don't Oppa me! Your boyfriend can wait but customers can't. Feeding people comes first then comes your concerns. Alright, now get together. I am happy that your boyfriend is asking you out again, but right now focus on job."

Kim Seokjin snatched her phone away by ignoring her pout and placed it on the top of the kitchen shelf. he was sure that Jinwa couldn't reach that height. He side eyed Jinwa and a smile appeared on his face when the girl started to do her job.

Jin always treated his co-workers as friends and family. That was the reason why many apply for the job and asks for any vacancies. When the bell sound rang through out the kitchen, everyone cheered happily by clapping their hands.

The chefs were already removing their aprons and washing their hands. Kim Seokjin took the mobile and gave it to Jinwa who was happily running inside the kitchen by thinking about meeting her boyfriend.

"Alright! Good job guys! I know it's Sunday but you all outdid yourselves. If you have doubts in any recipes, make sure to inform me so that I can teach you. Now get out and live your life!"

Everyone laughed by hearing Seokjin's words. They all know he was a sweet person. So his words may sound harsh to others, but people working in his kitchen would known him by heart. Kim Seokjin saw everyone leaving the kitchen after washing the dishes and cleaning the cooking area.

He gave two rounds around the kitchen area and made sure that everything was off and perfect. He removed his apron and looked down at his attire. He was wearing his Ahjussi's dress and he couldn't help but chuckle.

He turned off the lights and walked out of the kitchen only to find the restaurant area empty and dark. He gulped hard by looking around to see no lights in the restaurant only light coming was from outside the roads.

"Ma, are you there?"  Kim Seokjin called his mother and reached his hands for something to support himself in the dark. He had to walk few meters to turn the lights on for the main hall. But soon his eyes shut by the bright light coming from the large disco ball which was placed in the center of the ceiling.

Kim Seokjin opened his eyes and gasped when the surrounding were changing lights to different shades. He felt like he was in a bar or club. But what made his heart skip a beat was to find rose petals formed in a circle right below the disco ball. He shakily walked over the rose petals and stood in the center of the circle.

He could feel the disco lights reflecting on him and when he looked up straight he felt himself choking his cries by seeing his Ahjussi walking towards him with the same outfit which he wore on the first day he met Seokjin.

Kim Seokjin wasn't oblivious right now. He knew what was going to happen now. But he couldn't believe that it was happening. Taehyung and he never spoke about their marriage because they were living their lives everyday by being together. No one brought that conversation but that doesn't mean that they didn't want that.

Of course they wanted that. They both wanted to get married and start a new life together. But now seeing Taehyung walking towards him with that boxy smile under the disco lights made his heart skip a beat. He felt himself shivering and he could feel his legs shaking.

"A-Ahjussi~" Kim Seokjin choked his cries and looked at his boyfriend with eyes full of tears. He thought Taehyung would be gone for the conference which was to be held in Busan. His boyfriend wouldn't be home for two nights since the other had informed him like such.

But now he understood that it was lies. Beautiful lies.

Kim Taehyung was not feeling well either. He was nervous about what he was about to do. But he was sure that he would marry Seokjin but asking for his permission was taking a toll on him. He carefully knelt down before his boyfriend who immediately closed his mouth with his hands.

Taehyung could also feel tears in his eyes, but he didn't want to screw it up. He wanted this to be perfect, since his boyfriend deserved everything in this world.

"Kim Seokjin~ I first want to apologize for lying to your beautiful face about that non-existent conference.  Believe me, I had no other idea to come up with a lame excuse for this proposal. I know how much this restaurant means to you and our family. So that's the reason why I wanted to start our new journey from here by asking for your permission.

I never had a dream in my life, Seokjin. All my life revolved in that small village with elder people surrounded by me. After coming here, and meeting you was the best moment in my life.

I am not really good with such romantic words or lines, baby. So bear with me. Whatever I am speaking is all from my heart and how I feel for you.

Seokjin, we both have never spoke about wedding stuffs before because we were literally living a married life together without getting married. We both wake up in the same bed, sleep together, bath together, eat together and shop together. And I don't know what would married people do together other than this. We are already leading our lives like a wedded couples.

But you deserve more, baby. I want to give you everything because you deserve it. I know we both had a bumpy start with lots of misunderstandings and chaos. But the moment I laid my eyes on you, my heart felt butterflies. I knew at that second that I need to protect you no matter what happens.

That's why I found myself falling for you more and more everyday even though you tried to get away from me. You must have known that I am a head over heels for you, baby.

You are a great person, Seokjin. You are sweet, kind and I could use all adjectives in the dictionary to describe you but it wouldn't suffice enough to what I feel for you.

I don't know whether I should call it as 'Love' which I feel for you every day. Because it's more than that. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't find the correct word to describe my feelings that I have for you.

I want to shower my love to you forever, Seokjin. And please allow me to wake up everyday with you, and shower you will lots of kisses, and worship you forever.

I want to lead my life in the future with you beside me. I want to grow our family, and walk around the world with a proud smile by holding your hands and carrying our children on my shoulders.

Will you allow me the honor to be your husband and also a father for our future children? Kim Seokjin, will you marry your Ahjussi?"

Kim Seokjin's lips were quivering and he could feel his heart beat jumping happily by hearing the proposal. But he knew what he needed to say. The boxy grin on Taehyung's face proved him that his boyfriend was confident with his answer and he was waiting for those plump lips to speak.

"YES!!! Ahjussi!! Please marry me too~" Kim Seokjin whispered making Kim Taehyung to chuckle by his cuteness. He asked for Jin's hands and held it softly before kissing over the knuckles.

No rings were involved. They only wanted to wear wedding rings as their promise. So Taehyung sealed his promise with his kiss for now.

Kim Seokjin pulled Taehyung up to stand and kissed those lips which were smiling happily. They both giggled together and placed several kisses over and over before placing their foreheads together.

And soon the disco lights turned to several lights, and crowd were cheering. Jin was shocked when he saw the restaurant area filled with his co-workers, Jikook couple, Kim Jisoo and Taehyung's parents clapping happily by having tears in their eyes.

Kim Seokjin smiled when he saw Jinwa happily hugging his boyfriend who was standing beside her. The Jikook couple ran towards them and hugged their best friends by congratulating.

Kim Taehyung looked over at his parents who were giving thumbs up while wiping their tears off. He smiled at his Noona, who was already running towards him and hugging him tightly.

The Taejin couple were stepping into their next step in their relationship. Yes, it was new for both of them but together they were ready to explore anything in their lives.
