Artem and the MC attends Celestine Taylor and Jeremy Ramirez's wedding as best man and maid of honor, respectively. After the ceremony, the MC helps Celestine to change out of her wedding dress. Celestine recounts how Jeremy pursued her and how he was when he proposed to her. She asks the MC if she has given thought of her future with Artem. The MC then reveals that during the wedding, Artem avoided her eyes. He has been behaving strangely lately and she's worried that he might be handling a dangerous case. Celestine reassures her that this is not the case. She asks her to go to the venue ahead of her for the bouquet toss ceremony. After the MC left, Celestine recounts her conversation with Artem. Actually, Artem has been planning his proposal to the MC for a while. Celestine suggests that he propose at her wedding. She tells Artem to be careful to keep it a secret as he can be quite obvious since his feelings towards the MC overflow from his eyes.
Artem is nervous and anxious as he waits for the MC. Meanwhile, the MC arrives at the venue and gets confused with the change in decorations. She tries to call Artem and finds it odd that he, who is usually quick to answer, took a while to pick up the call. When he finally picked up, she presses him why he has been avoiding her and she tells him she's worried about him. After this, Artem sighs and seems to have made up his mind. In the background, Jeremy tells him that the "thing" hasn't arrived yet. Artem decides that instead of insisting on a unique ceremony, he will now not make the MC wait for him in an empty space. Artem meets up with the MC and asks if she wants to catch the bouquet. As if on cue, Celestine arrives and tosses the bouquet towards them. Artem catches it and hands it to the MC. He kneels down and offers a diamond ring up to her. He professes his love and asks her to be by his side forever. She says yes. He then tells her that he avoided her because he was worried that he wouldn't be able to hide his proposal plans from her. But he promises that he will never do it again.
After the party concludes, Artem and the MC take the chauffeur service to the hotel. They are a bit tipsy because of alcohol. Artem tells her he's not really drunk, and because he trained with Jeremy, he was able to remain somewhat sober. But he does need air because he still gets dizzy. He takes her hand and tells her that he's sure that he will never fall in love with anyone else but her and that he will always choose her. But he thinks that she will always have a choice. This insecurity makes him want to be more intimate with her, and he thinks being engaged would bring them closer. But he quickly takes it back in embarrassment and tells her those were just drunken ramblings. They reach the hotel and the MC thinks of wanting to make Artem feel more secure. She makes a move and asks him of the level of intimacy he wants. Artem then reveals that her ring has "Sehnsucht" engraved in it. It means "yearning" and it captures his feelings at that moment. She tells him that he can ask her for whatever he wants. Artem asks if he can push his luck further and she consents.

Description
For [Player]: We swear to be with each other. This is the transformation of our identity... and relationship.
Ring
Artem: I secretly measured the ring size while you were sleeping.
Artem: There were several times when I was worried that you would suddenly wake up. It was even more terrifying than my first time going to court.
Band
Artem: It took me a long time to decide on what word to choose for the engraving. In the end, I decided on this German word.
Artem: It made me realize, with absolute clarity, the deepest and most secret wish within my heart... Right now, I yearn for your everything, more than I ever have before.
Diamond
Artem: Diamonds represent love that is steady as immovable stone, everlasting and eternal. In the past, I did not really understand that on a personal level.
Artem: But from the moment I started thinking of proposing, I realized that diamonds are indeed the only thing in this world that can represent my feelings for you.
Moon
Artem: This moon shape is something I specially designed. Together with the diamond, it forms the image of the sun and moon, in companionship throughout the ages.
Artem: The meaning behind that is... We are like the sun and moon, each with our own paths of orbit, yet inevitably attracted to each other.
