"today was fun," jeongguk sighed, resting his head on his pillow.

jeon jeongguk and kim taehyung had been dating for three years now. of course, it wasn't easy. with their unmatched schedules and stressful days, fights were bound to happen. the only day they'd get to themselves was sunday, where they'd be cramped up in either of their apartments and pamper each other, making up for the time they weren't present for each other.

after having celebrated their third anniversary all by themselves and a few close friends, they were now laying in taehyung's queen-sized bed, naked bodies pressed close together as they lazily kissed, tongues sliding against one another's, smiles decorating their faces.

"the party or...?" taehyung teased.

"what do you think?"

"the party! you-"

"of course sex!"

they said at the same time and taehyung sighed, hugging jeongguk closer and hiding his pink face in his freshly dyed cherry-red hair.

"but really, i had so much fun. at the party too! i didn't know you had so much planned for us."

"i saw how you wanted some things when we went to the mall the other day but you couldn't get it because you still are paying off your loans. those gifts were chose indirectly by you." taehyung gestured at the pile of gift boxes sitting near the door of the bedroom.

"the loans will be cleared by the next month." jeongguk sighed, eyes drooping with exhaustion as he pulled away from their hug. "i'm really, really sleepy now. let's sleep?"

"let's sleep." taehyung nodded, closing his eyes when jeongguk propped himself up on his elbows and leaned in to plant a wet kiss on his lips. the wet squelch was unnecessarily loud and it made taehyung's cheeks burn.

"good night, love." jeongguk yawned as he fell back on his pillow, turning his back to taehyung.

"night, baby." taehyung patted his back and turned around himself, grabbing his teddy bear and hugging it close to him as he closed his eyes.

taehyung entered the younger's apartment. it was dark all around and he struggled to find the light switches when he heard jeongguk talking to someone on the phone.

"fuck, yugyeom i dont think I can do this. what if he says no?" jeongguk said into the mobile, panic lacing his words as he bounced his legs. "fine, i'll do it. i'll call you later and tell you how it goes. of he breaks up with me, you're doomed." jeongguk hung up the call and taehyung switched the lights on.

without looking at the person, jeongguk fell on his knees, his trembling hand holding out an opened velvet box, with two diamond rings sitting inside the box prettily.

"gguk?"

"i-i- marry me, taehyung?" he squeezed his eyes shut, head hung low. this wasn't how it was supposed to go. he had a big list of things he wanted to appreciate taehyung for before he dropped the question. but his anxiety and fear of rejection made him all anxious.

when all he was met with silence, except taehyung's bag falling from his hand, his heart sank and he looked up at taehyung to see him looking down at him with wide eyes, his hands covering his mouth.

"jeon," taehyung took heavy steps towards him and pulled him up to his legs. he pushed jeongguk on the bed and sat beside him. "look at the box baby," he chuckled wetly and jeongguk looked down at the box, his cheeks burning in embarrassment realising the box was facing him the home time. he turned it around, and taehyung smiled at him, leaning in to kiss his nose.
