Where to store the refresh token safely

Where should i save refresh token, I save it in my DB but when I send expired JWT so when i try to valid I cant get the payload I save there. Is this safe to decode with atob the JWT so I get the payload and get the username and find in the db the save refresh token. Because if i save in local storage this is unsafe cause us save there a long live token instead only the JWT(the short live one)

I try to save it cookies but CSRF attack also a problem even if i add the httponly and the secure one Please correct me if i wrong

EDIT: I also wanted to ask how i do silent log in, Is this like i do setInterval for 14m so i get the new token even if the user don't do nothing?

You can choose between memory or cookie. If you can use cookies, then best choice is cookie! CSRF attack dont be success, if you store it in cookies, another site don't have access to another site cookies. And you have access from XSRF attacks too, becose you neve send refrash token to resource server, it's only for auth server.
