Taehyung

The evening flowed peacefully—golden light, soft music, quiet laughter all around. For Taehyung, it was a normal dinner, a small respite from life. But as soon as the waiter placed the desserts, the air grew thick.

Jungkook straightened up abruptly, adjusted his cuff, and inhaled as deeply as if about to jump. His gaze was too intense, as if he were afraid to miss Taehyung even for a moment.

A shudder ran through Taehyung.

• Jungkook... what's wrong with you?
  “It’s just…” he exhaled and stood up.

And everything changed.

The music stopped.
The light became softer.
People turned their heads.

And Jungkook—his confident, strong Jungkook—dropped to one knee. He opened the small box, and the ring glinted in the light.

"Kim Taehyung," his voice trembled, "I want to spend my whole life with you. I want to wake up next to you, hear your laughter, protect you... Will you marry me?"

Taehyung's heart sank painfully.
Other people's gazes burned his skin, cameras rose, flashes capturing his panic. His breath caught, his chest tightened—the world was too loud, too open.

He stepped towards Jungkook and whispered in a trembling voice:

— Stand up... please.
