It is late evening as Jungkook and Jimin are walking through the streets of Tokyo. The two are passing a jewelry store, one particular item, or rather a pair of it, caught the attention of Jimin and he stops his steps, examining the round objects behind the clear glass with his eyes.

Jungkook notices how Jimin isn‘t at his side anymore just a few seconds later. He turns around and sees him staring through the glass of a jewelry store, the items getting much attention of bypassers since they are brightly lit by many lights.

Stuffing his hands inside the pockets of his parka, he walks over to his traveling partner to be able to understand what has gotten the pretty eyes of Jimin captured like that. Jungkook stands beside him and searches with his own eyes for the piece of jewelry.

He recognizes them to be rings.

„Do you like those rings?“ Jimin hears Jungkook question, neither Jungkook‘s nor his own eyes have left the beautiful rings for one second since they have been seen by the two of them. „Very much, they are beautiful.“ Jimin replies, a smile appearing as the thought of both of them wearing them strikes his mind.

„Well, let‘s go.“ Jungkook suddenly hears Jimin say, as he looks over to his side, he is already leaving the shop window behind which glass the rings lay.

„Wait… you don‘t want them?“ Jungkook asks and stops the older‘s walking away with a grip on his shoulder.

Jimin turns around, smiling „I do, but the price is quite up there and since you rarely wear any rings it would just be a waste of money.“

He really is fond of the shining jewelry, but he does not want to buy something that won‘t be worn by the person that‘s most important to him.

Jungkook knows that his boyfriend really wants these rings, of course he knows, he knows so much about Jimin that it sometimes surprises himself. The taller boy avoids eye contact out of embarrassment of the words that are about to leave his mouth „Let‘s buy them. I will wear it as much as possible.“

The face of Jimin lightens up, obviously happy about the promise. He pulls Jungkook into the store and asks for the rings of a retail saleswoman.

After trying them on and finding a fitting size, they purchase the rings, leaving with an expensive looking bag which contains the black jewel cases that protect the silvery-copper colored rings.

Pulling his older boyfriend into an alleyway, Jungkook guides him until they reach a small park. It is lit by dimmed street lights and has no one besides the couple around.

Jimin chuckles at the sudden pulling of Jungkook „Why did you bring us here?“

With no words, he reaches inside the bag they just got from the jewelry store and takes out the black case which contains the treasure of a ring. „Give me your hand. The right one.“ Jungkook demands, carefully taking the delicate hand of Jimin into his, having his beneath Jimin‘s smaller one.

Almost not being able to hold back a light scream, he observes Jungkook, how he flips open the black case, taking the ring out with his fingers and slowly putting it on Jimin‘s right ring finger. His other hand shoots over his mouth in order to not break out into tears as Jungkook presses a short kiss on the ring and the finger which it is around.

„A beautiful accessory for a beautiful person.“ Jungkook comments, smiling at the shiny metal that decorates Jimin‘s hand.

„Jungkook…“ Jimin sobs, this young boy in front of him turns into a real, grown up man whenever they are alone. Jimin turns red, he always compliments him in so many ways that flutter Jimin way too much.

Jimin reaches inside the bag as well, taking the second small box out of it, opening it and almost being overwhelmed by the feeling as he sees the beautiful ring that seems to be just meant for Jungkook.

And at that, he realizes something, his head shoots up, expression shocked. „Wait- is this a proposal?“

Jungkook is hit with realisation over this situation, exchanging shocked looks with Jimin. „I- I-...“ He can‘t think of any words, he only stutters but the sounds that are leaving his mouth don‘t make any sense.

Jimin takes Jungkook‘s into his own hands, feeling the ring press against each other‘s skin. „Jeon Jungkook, I need an honest answer from you right now. Do you plan to marry me?“

The jaw of Jungkook drops seemingly down on the floor, silencing his nonsense. He didn‘t think that far yet. Hell, sometimes he doesn‘t even realize that the two of them are in a relationship!

„Uhm… Jimin-ah, I..“ He feels his hands being squeezed tighter.

„Tell me.“ Jimin‘s begging words are.

Jimin is putting way too much of pressure on Jungkook, and too sudden most importantly.

Yes they are in their second year of their relationship, they trust each other blind and know almost every little detail of the other.

But is Jungkook ready for such big of a promise?

He takes a deep breath, closing his eyes as he listens to his thoughts and what his heart tells him. He loves Jimin, he loves him so dearly like he never did anyone before.

He makes the stars shine so much brighter at night, when they are looking out the window, wrapped in a yellow blanket.

He makes him smile more than anyone else ever did, loving the wrinkles he will most likely have at young age because of that already now, because Jimin caused them.

He makes him anticipate every morning when they head to sleep, because it will be Jimin he will wake up next to.

Always.

After a few seconds, his eyes open up again and he looks into the dark eyes of the boy in front of him, into his love‘s eyes. „Yes.“

Jimin breaks into another sob, sinking down on the ground in the pose he always takes in when he is embarrassed about something, his hands being tightly hold by Jungkook, not letting go.

He feels bad for making Jimin cry like that, he is so sentimental when it comes to the two of them. They need each other, their bond has gotten so strong that it is impossible to even think about losing Jimin one day.

„Please get up, seeing you like this hurts me.“ he begs of the older, pulling him up by his hands he grips tighter by the second.

„I am sorry I… I am just so happy.“ Jimin confesses, explaining the tears in his eyes as tears of happiness. Standing up again, even though his legs are still shaking, he slowly slides the round object of jewelry on the right ring finger of Jungkook, feeling a tear running down his cheek.

Jimin copies the gesture of his younger boyfriend from before, maybe he should address him as fiancé from now on, and places his lips on the metal, touching the skin where it isn‘t covering as well.

They meet eyes when Jimin removes his lips and lifts his head back up, Jungkook smiling brighter than ever.

Jimin feels his body being dragged into Jungkook‘s arms, the safest place on earth. Putting his head on the strong chest of him, he hides behind the Parka which Jungkook is wearing, tears still flowing strongly.

They went back to the hotel they are staying in after Jimin calmed down again. Jungkook got so worried about his tears not stopping, that he was considering to go to a hospital, which only made Jimin laugh.

Back in their room, Jimin doesn‘t even let his, now fiancé, take off his shoes, he searches the warmth he always finds in his arms as soon as the door closes.

His arms are squeezing tightly around the waist of the younger, not wanting to let go that quickly.

„Jimin-ah, you‘re clingy.“ Jungkook responds to the hug and tries to slip off his shoes anyway with the help of his feet, managing at least one of the pair.

„How can I not be clingy in such a moment?“ Jimin asks, reminding both of them what just happened not even an hour ago.

They got engaged.

Both their rings seem to burn, making them aware of them even more.

Clearing his throat, Jungkook gets off his second shoe as well and wants to push the person that reminds him of a koala off him, this is all just too much at the moment.

Jimin is too cute.

He can‘t handle it.

Jimin pins him against the door, not letting him escape just yet.

There is no need to stand on his tiptoes right now, unlike Jungkook, Jimin is still wearing his shoes and is a bit taller than usually, able to reach the long yearned lips of the younger.

Like always, Jungkook gives in to the silent request of Jimin‘s lips to please just shut up. Lifting both his hands to place them beneath each side of Jimin‘s jaw, he moves them back bit by bit until the soft hair of Jimin can be felt.

He pulls him closer.

Tonight he won‘t be able to get enough of him.

Every single fiber in his body carries Jungkook‘s name at the moment, he forgets all of his surroundings and even that he hasn‘t taken off his shoes.

He gets pushed into the bedroom that has a double bed inside, falling onto the soft mattress as his calves reach the bed and he can‘t take a step further back.

Jungkook craves for Jimin‘s lips he had to let go off when they both fell on the mattress, he surrounds them with his own right the next second, not letting Jimin say the sentence he was about to start.

Tapping and then having to hit Jungkook‘s shoulder, he finally gets released of the hungry mouth of the boy above him, huffing and feeling his lips swell up.

„Stop.. wait.. please..“ Jimin begs and tries to catch his breath, closing his eyes to get to his goal faster.

As he feels like a normal breathing human again, his eyelids open again and it’s his heart that is giving him trouble now. Jungkook is looking down at him with what seem to be heart eyes, the color of them being so lovely at the moment and having the eyes crease a bit as he smiles make him question if Jungkook really is an ordinary human or a mixture of the cutest bunny alive and a greek god.

The boy that has been hovering about the smaller body of Jimin drops to the side, not leaving the face of the beautiful boy he can now call his fiancé. He smiles even brighter as the word strikes his mind.

„You are so beautiful.“

Jimin turns a shade of pink, hiding behind his small hands before turning away to avoid Jungkook's expression.

Jungkook laughs as the reaction of the boy that is two years older than himself. He scoots closer to Jimin until the front of his body touches the back of him, placing a kiss on the small space on his cheek that Jimin‘s small hands can‘t cover.

„Love, don‘t hide from the truth.“

Eyes catching the ring on the ringfinger of Jimin, he takes the hand it is on away from his face and kisses the knuckles of it.

„I promise you, Jimin-ah. One day I will marry you.“
