A Promise Under the Stars
The night sky over Seoul sparkled like a canvas of dreams, stars twinkling above the quiet Han River
Jungkook stood by the riverbank, his heart racing as he adjusted the collar of his black leather jacket. His dark hair fell softly over his eyes, and he brushed it back, nervous but excited. Tonight was special. Tonight, he would ask Taehyung to be his forever.
Taehyung walked toward him, his boxy smile lighting up the dim pathway. He wore a loose white shirt, sleeves rolled up, and his brown hair glowed under the streetlights...
Taehyung
Kookie, why are we here so late?
He asked, his voice playful but curious. His eyes, warm and deep, searched Jungkook’s face.
Jungkook grinned, trying to hide his nervous
Jungkook
Just wanted to see you, Tae. Is that a crime?
He reached out, taking Taehyung’s hand. Their fingers fit together perfectly, like puzzle pieces. Taehyung’s hand was warm, and Jungkook’s heart skipped a beat.
Taehyung laughed, the sound was like music
Taehyung
You’re acting weird. What’s up?
He tilted his head, his smile teasing. Jungkook loved that smile. It made everything in the world feel right
Jungkook said, pulling Taehyung gently along the river. The water reflected the city lights, shimmering in the dark. The air smelled fresh, with a hint of flowers from nearby trees. They had been together for two years, and every moment with Taehyung felt like a gift. From their first shy date at a small café to their late-night talks about dreams, Jungkook knew Taehyung was his home
As they walked, Taehyung swung their hands playfully.
Taehyung
Remember when we came here for our first date?
Taehyung
You spilled coffee on your shirt, and I laughed so hard I almost cried
Jungkook groaned, his cheeks turning pink
Jungkook
Don’t remind me! I was so embarrassed
He looked at Taehyung, who was giggling
Jungkook
But you still liked me, right?
Taehyung stopped walking and turned to face him
Taehyung
Kookie, I loved you even then
His voice was soft, sincere. He stepped closer, their faces inches apart. Jungkook could smell Taehyung’s cologne, a mix of sandalwood and something sweet. It made his head spin
Jungkook said, his voice quieter now
Jungkook
You mean everything to me
His heart pounded. He had practiced this moment in his head a hundred times, but now, with Taehyung looking at him like he was the only person in the world, it felt bigger, scarier, and more beautiful
Taehyung
What’s going on, Kookie? You’re making me nervous
He squeezed Jungkook’s hand, his thumb brushing over Jungkook’s knuckles. Jungkook took a deep breath. It was now or never. He led Taehyung to a small wooden bench under a tree, its leaves swaying gently in the breeze. The river sparkled behind them, and the city’s hum felt far away
Jungkook said, his voice shaking just a little
Taehyung sat, his eyes never leaving Jungkook’s
Taehyung
Okay, but you’re acting so mysterious. Spill it, Jeon Jungkook
Jungkook laughed, but his hands were trembling as he reached into his jacket pocket. He pulled out a small velvet box and held it tightly. Taehyung’s eyes widened, his lips parting in surprise
Jungkook began, his voice steady now
Jungkook
When I met you, I was just a guy trying to figure out life. I didn’t know what love was, not really. But then you came along, with your smile, your laugh, your heart. You made me better. You made me believe in forever
Taehyung’s eyes shimmered with tears, but he didn’t speak. He just watched Jungkook, his breath hitching
Jungkook opened the box, revealing a simple silver ring with a tiny star engraved on it
Jungkook
This ring isn’t much, but it’s a promise. A promise that I’ll love you every day, through everything. I want to wake up to you, fight with you, laugh with you, grow old with you
He paused, his voice breaking
Jungkook
Kim Taehyung, will you marry me?
For a moment, the world was silent. The river, the stars, the city all of it faded away. Taehyung stared at the ring, then at Jungkook, his lips trembling
He whispered, a tear slipping down his cheek
Taehyung
Yes. Yes, I’ll marry you
Jungkook’s heart soared. He slid the ring onto Taehyung’s finger, his hands shaking but gentle. The ring fit perfectly, the star catching the light. Taehyung laughed through his tears, grabbing Jungkook’s face and pulling him close. Their lips met in a kiss, soft at first, then deeper, filled with all the love they couldn’t put into words
Jungkook felt like he was flying. Taehyung’s lips were warm, tasting faintly of the strawberry lip balm he always used. Their kiss was a promise, a celebration, a moment they’d remember forever. When they pulled apart, Taehyung rested his forehead against Jungkook’s, both of them breathing heavily.
Taehyung whispered, his voice thick with emotion
Taehyung
I can’t believe you did this. You’re crazy
Jungkook said, grinning. He wiped a tear from Taehyung’s cheek, his thumb lingering on his soft skin
Jungkook
I’m so happy, Tae. I’ve never been this happy
Taehyung laughed, his boxy smile brighter than the stars
Taehyung
Me too. I’m going to be your husband, Kookie. Can you believe it?
He held up his hand, admiring the ring
Taehyung
It’s perfect. You’re perfect
Jungkook blushed, pulling Taehyung into his arms. They sat on the bench, wrapped in each other, the river flowing quietly beside them. The night felt endless, like their love could stretch across the sky and touch every star
Taehyung
Let’s stay here forever
Taehyung said, resting his head on Jungkook’s shoulder
Taehyung
Just you, me, and the river
Jungkook kissed the top of Taehyung’s head, breathing in the scent of his hair
Jungkook
Deal. But we’ll need snacks. And a blanket
Taehyung giggled, nudging him playfully
Taehyung
Always thinking about food, huh?
Jungkook
Only when I’m with you
Jungkook
You make me hungry for everything ...food, love, life
Taehyung looked up at him, his eyes sparkling
Taehyung
You’re so cheesy. But I love it
He leaned in for another kiss, this one slower, softer, like they had all the time in the world. Jungkook’s heart felt full, like it might burst from happiness
They stayed by the river for hours, talking about their future. Taehyung wanted a small wedding, maybe in a garden, with fairy lights and their closest friends. Jungkook dreamed of a honeymoon by the sea, where they could dance in the waves and watch the sunrise. They laughed, planned, and dreamed, their voices mingling with the night air
As the sky began to lighten, Jungkook took Taehyung’s hand, the ring glinting on his finger
Taehyung nodded, his smile radiant
He repeated, squeezing Jungkook’s hand
They walked back to Jungkook's apartment, hand in hand, the city waking up around them. The streets were quiet, but their hearts were loud, filled with love and hope. Inside their apartment, they kicked off their shoes and collapsed onto the couch, still buzzing from the night
Taehyung curled up against Jungkook, his head on his chest
Taehyung
I can’t wait to marry you
He murmured, his voice sleepy but happy
Jungkook smiled, running his fingers through Taehyung’s hair
Jungkook
I can’t wait either, Tae. This is just the beginning
They fell asleep like that, tangled together, the ring on Taehyung’s finger a quiet promise of forever. The morning light crept through the window, painting their faces with soft gold. Their love was fresh, bright, and unbreakable at least for now
