The salty breeze carried the scent of plumeria blossoms as Jungkook surveyed the scene before him. Their beach farmhouse, bathed in the warm glow of fairy lights, was transformed into a paradise. Seashells twinkled on white sand, flowers bloomed in vibrant hues, and a banner proclaiming "Marry Me, Tae!" fluttered in the gentle wind.

A year had melted away like sunshine on the ocean waves. The routine had embraced them, offering a sanctuary of peace and love. Jungkook thrived under the weight of his CEO responsibilities, his leadership blossoming alongside their family. Taehyung, the heart and soul of their home, filled their bakery with warmth and the irresistible aroma of freshly baked bread. The twins, now six years old, were a whirlwind of boundless energy. Sharp minds, inherited from Jungkook, were balanced by gentle hearts like Taehyung's. Their days were a symphony of laughter, schoolwork, and a flurry of extracurricular activities - taekwondo for self-defense, dance for expression, singing for joy, and painting to capture the world's vibrant colors.

Tonight, however, the symphony was about to crescendo into a beautiful melody. Taehyung, oblivious to the meticulous preparations, was on his way back from closing the bakery. Jungkook, a nervous knot of anticipation in his stomach, took a deep breath as the sound of the familiar car engine filled the air.

As Taehyung stepped onto the beach, his jaw dropped. Tears welled up in his eyes as he took in the breathtaking sight. The twins, dressed in their finest clothes, skipped towards him, their faces beaming with excitement. "Happy birthday, Mommy!" they chorused, their voices bubbling with joy.

Before Taehyung could fully comprehend what was happening, Jungkook stepped forward, a velvet box clutched in his hand. The love that radiated from his eyes mirrored the sparkling sea. "Taehyung," his voice thick with emotion, "These past years have been the happiest of my life. You've filled our home with warmth, laughter, and the most incredible family I could have ever asked for. Will you make me the happiest man alive and marry me?"

Taehyung, overwhelmed with love and tears, could only manage a choked sob before a radiant smile broke through. "Yes, Jungkook. A million times yes!" he whispered, his heart overflowing.

Cheers erupted from behind the sandcastle, where their closest friends had been hiding, capturing the momentous occasion on camera. Tears, laughter, and hugs filled the air as everyone celebrated their love. Under the soft glow of the moon and the endless expanse of the Rotulid sky, Jungkook slipped the ring onto Taehyung's finger. As their lips met in a kiss filled with promises of forever, they knew this was just the beginning of their happily ever after, a love story forever etched under the warm Rotulid sun.

The night continued on a perfect high. News of Sahee and Minho's arrest, delivered with joyous tears, felt like the final puzzle piece clicking into place. Their past shadows had finally faded, leaving only the bright promise of their future.

Laughter and stories filled the air as their friends said their goodbyes, the twins, sleepy but content, tucked safely in bed by the departing guests. As the last car pulled away, a comfortable silence settled between Taehyung and Jungkook. They walked hand-in-hand along the shoreline, the sand cool and comforting beneath their bare feet.

The gentle sound of the waves seemed to coax a sigh from Taehyung. "There's something I need to tell you," he said hesitantly.

Jungkook stopped, his gaze filled with concern. "Anything, Tae. You know you can tell me anything."

Taking a deep breath, Taehyung revealed the secret he'd carried for so long. He spoke of his intersex traits, and ability to bear a human.

As the words tumbled out, a heavy weight lifted from Taehyung's chest. He braced himself for Jungkook's reaction, his heart hammering a frantic rhythm against his ribs.

But Jungkook just squeezed his hand tighter. A smile, warm and understanding, lit up his face. "Taehyung," he said, his voice gentle, "that doesn't change a thing. You're the most incredible person I know, strong and kind and perfect just the way you are."

He pulled Taehyung closer, his eyes searching Taehyung's. "And now has you mentioned, I cant wait to have my own blood and flesh with you. A small Taehyung should complete our family right?"

Taehyung's heart overflowed with gratitude. The fear that had gnawed at him for so long dissolved. Not only did Jungkook accept him completely, but he was also open to the possibility of a future he dared to dream of. In that moment, under the endless sky, with the sound of the waves whispering their love story, Taehyung knew his heart was truly full. Now, with a future brimming with possibilities and a love stronger than ever, they could truly start their forever together.
