As the crowd quieted down, all eyes were on Donghyuck, the air charged with excitement and emotion. He stood at the podium, looking out at the sea of faces, a confident smile lighting up his expression. The years of hard work and dedication, the endless study sessions, and the long nights had all finally culminated in this day.

Donghyuck had graduated from law school with honors, ready to step into the world as an attorney, and every moment felt surreal. His family and friends sat beaming in the audience, but his gaze quickly settled on Haeeun and Jaemin, who were sitting side by side, their pride and joy evident in their shining eyes.

The ceremony concluded, and soon everyone was swept into the post-graduation celebrations. Donghyuck was surrounded by congratulatory hugs and countless photos, and the happiness around him was electric. But amidst the laughter and joy, a plan had already been unfolding in Donghyuck's mind, one he had kept close to his chest until this very moment. This wasn't just a day to mark his achievements in law school—it was also the day he had decided to ask Haeeun and Jaemin to take the next step in their journey together.


That evening, they reconvened at their favorite rooftop spot overlooking the city. The trio had spent many nights here over the years, talking about their dreams, frustrations, and fears, and it felt only right to celebrate Donghyuck's graduation in this familiar place. Lights twinkled against the cityscape, casting a warm glow over them as they toasted with champagne.


"To Donghyuck, our newly minted attorney!" Jaemin cheered, raising his glass.

"May all your cases be swift victories, and may your caffeine supply never run dry," Haeeun joked, her eyes glinting playfully.


They clinked their glasses, laughter and celebration filling the air. Donghyuck's heart felt full as he took in the sight of his two closest companions. He'd spent weeks planning this, wanting it to be perfect. And with a deep breath, he felt ready.


Clearing his throat, he set his glass down, his hands slightly trembling with a mixture of excitement and nerves. "There's... actually something I wanted to talk to both of you about."


Jaemin and Haeeun exchanged curious glances, sensing a shift in the atmosphere.


Donghyuck took their hands in his, his voice steady as he looked at each of them in turn. "These past years, we've built something that I never thought I'd have. We've gone through so much together, and I can't imagine my life without either of you."


He reached into his pocket, pulling out a small box. Both Jaemin and Haeeun's eyes widened as realization dawned on them. Donghyuck opened the box to reveal a pair of rings, delicate and beautiful, chosen with them in mind.


"I want to spend the rest of my life with you both. Will you marry me?"


A moment of stunned silence filled the rooftop before Haeeun broke into a teary smile, her hands covering her mouth. Jaemin's eyes were shining, his expression a mixture of disbelief and overwhelming joy. Both of them nodded, speechless, and Donghyuck slipped the rings onto their fingers as they enveloped him in a tight embrace, laughter and happy tears mingling in the night air. It was a moment they would all remember—a promise sealed in the quiet glow of the city.
