A love beyond words

40

As they drove to Jungkook's home, the evening sun cast a warm glow over the city. Jungkook couldn't stop admiring the ring on his finger, stealing glances at Taehyung.

"Hyung, I want to announce it publicly," Jungkook said, his voice barely above a whisper.

Taehyung's head snapped towards him, concern etched on his face. He pulled over to the side of the road, parking the car.

"What do you mean, Kook? You know it could impact your career," Taehyung asked, his brow furrowed.

Jungkook's smile was resolute. "I don't care, Hyung. I want to be with you freely, without fear of being caught or hiding our love."

Taehyung's eyes searched Jungkook's, his expression softening. "Whatever your decision is, I'm with you, always."

Jungkook's heart swelled at Taehyung's unwavering support.

"I'll support you, no matter what," Taehyung continued. "But we should consider the timing and how to share the news."

Jungkook nodded, understanding.

Before dropping Jungkook home, Taehyung leaned in, their lips meeting in a tender kiss.

"I love you," Taehyung whispered.

"I love you too, Hyung," Jungkook replied.

As Jungkook stepped out of the car, Taehyung called out.

"Kook."

"Yes, Hyung?" Jungkook turned back.

"Be ready for anything, okay?" Taehyung's eyes sparkled.

Jungkook smiled. "I'm ready, Hyung."

As Jungkook entered his home, he was met with the knowing gazes of his father, brother, and Jimin, all seated on the couch with mischievous smirks.

"Well, well, where was our little Kookie?" Jin teased, his eyes sparkling. "Is our Kookie in love?"

Jungkook's face and ears flushed crimson as he scoffed, attempting to maintain a nonchalant facade. "Please, Hyung, I was just out with friends. Me, in love? What a joke!"

However, his laughter faltered upon noticing their continued teasing expressions.

Jimin chimed in, "You know, Kookie, we can see outside from our windows, right?"

Jungkook's head snapped towards the window, and he cursed under his breath before revealing, "Taehyungie Hyung proposed to me."

The room erupted in shock, with all of them yelling, "What?!" Jungkook hastily intervened, "Keep your voices down!"

His father's warm smile spread across his face. "We saw how worried Taehyung was at the hospital. The love in his eyes for you was undeniable."

Jin's expression softened, recalling, "Yeah, and he threatened me too, showing just how much he cares for you, Kookie."

The room filled with congratulations and well-wishes. Jungkook shared his plans to announce the relationship publicly in two days, eliciting mixed emotions.

Concern etched on Jimin's face, "Kookie, are you sure? The media, the fans... it might get complicated."

Jungkook's determination shone through, "I've made up my mind. I want to be with Taehyung, openly and honestly."

His father placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder. "We'll support you, no matter what. You deserve happiness."

Jin grinned mischievously. "And I'll make sure to keep Taehyung in line."
