"Jungkook ... what is happening?" Taehyung asks as he lets his boyfriend guide him with his eyes blindfolded.

"Just a little surprise," Jungkook whispers as he carefully guides his boyfriend into the building.

With a little huff, Taehyung stops asking questions and lets the suspense build. When they enter the building, Taehyung hears other people moving around. He hears an excited squeal come from his left and a rather loud "SHH!" from another person. He smiles because he can hear Taeri's giggles and Haneul's little whispers to her baby cousin.

"Okay. Perfect." Jungkook mutters as he positions his boyfriend. "Ready?"

"Yeah." Taehyung nods and bounces with excitement.

When Jungkook removes the blindfold, Taehyung gasps with surprise. He quickly spins around and takes in his surroundings. Surrounding him are all of his paintings beautifully framed and hung up on walls. 

"It's an exhibit," Taehyung whispers as his eyes tear up.

"The exhibit opens tomorrow. Since you want to stay anonymous, I wanted to show you today," Jungkook explains as he lovingly smiles at his husband.

"Thank you. Thank you so much." Taehyung cries as he hugs his boyfriend.

"Anything for you." Jungkook softly hums as he holds his crying boyfriend.

For the rest of the evening, the family celebrates Taehyung's first exhibit in five years. Taehyung's eyes are big as he goes from area to area to see how everything is set up.

"Jungkook designed the exhibit," Namjoon softly tells his younger brother. I am so happy for you. You found someone who truly loves you." He suddenly hugs his younger brother as a tear trickles down his face.

"Thank you, Hyung," Taehyung mumbles as he and his brother hug.

Jungkook and Seokjin smile as they watch Taehyung and Namjoon hug. "They have been through so much." Seokjin hums as he holds his sleepy daughter in his arms.

"They have," Jungkook mutters in agreement as he rocks his daughter.

"Thank you, Jungkook." Seokjin softly smiles at Jungkook. "I know it's been hard, especially since you have your own painful past."

"Loving Taehyung has been the best thing to ever happen in my life. I would wait for as long as I had to to be able to love him." Jungkook whispers with teary eyes.

"He is blessed to have you." Seokjin gently pats Jungkook's shoulder.

While Taehyung walks around the exhibit with his siblings, he walks up to one of the areas and instantly blushes. "I can't believe him." He huffs when he sees the paintings of Jungkook on display. He quickly reaches out and rips off the price tags. "This whole section is not for sale. No one else gets my naked boyfriend on their wall." He grumbles with a scowl at the thought of someone buying Jungkook's paintings.

"I should paint Taejoon naked." Shinhye hums as she looks at Jungkook's painting. "He is beautiful naked."

"Noona!" Taehyung shrieks and smacks his older sister on the arm.

"What? I am looking at your naked boyfriend. Why can't I talk about my naked husband?" Shinhye laughs as her youngest brother looks at her with horror.

"I do not want to know about Taejoon hyung's naked body!" Taehyung fusses and runs away with his ears covered.

"He's still a kid." Namjoon chuckles and shakes his head.

"He's playing around and smiling again." Shinhye hums as she watches her youngest brother pick up his daughter.
