One morning, as Jungkook and Taehyung walked along the coral gardens, their hands intertwined, Jungkook felt a sense of contentment settle over him. The ocean around them shimmered with life, the vibrant hues of the coral reefs reflecting the peace and harmony they had fought so hard to protect.

"I'm proud of what we've accomplished," Jungkook admitted quietly, his voice filled with gratitude for Taehyung's unwavering presence in his life.

Taehyung smiled warmly, his gaze filled with pride and affection. "And I'm proud of you," he replied sincerely, his hand gently squeezing Jungkook's.

They paused beside a cluster of anemones, their colors dancing in the gentle currents, and Jungkook turned to Taehyung with a determined expression. "There's something I want to ask you," he began, his voice tinged with anticipation.

Taking a deep breath, Jungkook took Taehyung's hands in his, his heart racing with nervous excitement. "Will you stay with me forever?" he asked earnestly, his eyes searching Taehyung's for an answer.

Taehyung's heart swelled with emotion at Jungkook's heartfelt question. "Yes," he replied without hesitation, his voice filled with conviction. "I will stay by your side, always."

In that moment, surrounded by the beauty of their underwater kingdom, Jungkook and Taehyung sealed their promise with a kiss. It was a promise of love and devotion, a vow to face whatever challenges lay ahead together, united in their bond and their shared dreams for the future.

As they walked hand in hand towards the royal palace, Jungkook felt a sense of peace settle over him. The ocean whispered tales of their love, carrying their promises on the gentle currents, as they embarked on a new chapter of their lives together.
