Our Long Ending Story

Chapter 8: The Dinner

Soft music played in the background, mingling with the quiet clinks of utensils as Lisa and Jungkook enjoyed a peaceful dinner together.

The table was set with simple elegance—a crisp white tablecloth and a small vase of fresh sunflowers, Lisa's favorite, adding a cheerful touch to the center. Jungkook had put extra thought into preparing the meal, knowing how much they both treasured these rare, quiet moments together amidst their busy lives.

As they finished the last bites of their meal, Jungkook glanced across the table at Lisa, his eyes reflecting a mix of excitement and contentment. He reached for her hand, interlacing their fingers as he spoke.

"It feels surreal, doesn't it?" Jungkook began, his voice filled with warmth. "To think we're here, engaged. I still can't believe it sometimes."

Lisa smiled, feeling the familiar flutter of happiness at the mention of their engagement. It had been a whirlwind of emotions ever since Jungkook had proposed, a moment she replayed in her mind countless times. "I know exactly what you mean. Every time I see this ring, it feels like a beautiful dream," she said, glancing at the elegant engagement ring on her finger.

Jungkook chuckled softly, his heart full of love for the woman sitting across from him. "We've been dropping hints lately, and I think our fans are starting to piece it together. But I want us to make an official announcement, something that's just ours."

Lisa nodded, her eyes twinkling with anticipation. They both understood the significance of their decision—not only as a personal milestone but also as a public declaration of their commitment to each other.

"How do you think we should do it?" Lisa asked, leaning in closer, eager to hear Jungkook's thoughts.

"Well, we could go for a big reveal at our next concert. Something memorable and grand," Jungkook suggested, his mind racing with possibilities. "Or we could opt for something more intimate, like a video message or an interview where we share our story."

Lisa considered his ideas, weighing the pros and cons. "I love the first idea. It's a celebration, and it would mean so much to our fans. But I also think a personal message could be really touching and sincere."

Jungkook nodded, appreciating her insight. "Maybe we could do both? Announce it at the concert, followed by a heartfelt video. That way, we get the best of both worlds."

"I like that," Lisa agreed, her face lighting up with excitement.

As they talked, they delved into the details of how to announce their engagement, thoughtfully thinking about ways to express their emotions and gratitude. It was crucial to them that the news be shared in a way that honored the love and support their fans had shown over the years, ensuring the moment felt sincere and respectful to everyone who had been part of their journey.

"Do you think we should involve our families in it?" Lisa asked, her mind drifting to her loved ones who had been her biggest supporter since day one.

"I think that would be perfect," Jungkook replied thoughtfully. "We can put some candid moments with our families in the video. It'll show the world how much this means to us and how blessed we are to have their support."

As they continued talking, the city lights outside began to flicker to life, casting a soft, magical glow over the room. Their conversation flowed effortlessly, shifting from the engagement announcement to their future plans. They talked about where they might settle down, how they would balance their careers, and shared the dreams they held close to their hearts.

The night wore on, filled with laughter, love, and the promise of a bright future. Lisa rested her head on Jungkook's shoulder, feeling a profound sense of contentment.

"We're really doing this, aren't we?" Lisa whispered, a soft smile playing on her lips.

"Yes, we are," Jungkook replied, kissing the top of her head tenderly. "And I wouldn't want it any other way."
