It was three days before Evie's birthday, and Jungkook planned a dinner outing. To make it work, we dropped Evie off at my mom's house. Since Carlos’s threats to hurt Evie had continued, I had quit my job at Jungkook’s company to stay home and protect her. Trusting anyone else to watch her felt impossible. Even as we left her with my mom, my nerves wouldn’t settle, despite Jungkook's reassurances.

“She’ll be fine. I have people watching the house. Nothing’s going to happen to them, okay?” he said, his voice steady and soothing.

Evie had wanted to come with us, and Jungkook had explained why she couldn’t. She eventually agreed, though not without reluctance.

“Okay,” I murmured, trying to convince myself as much as him.

On the drive, Jungkook held my hand the entire time. I didn’t know where we were going, but the anticipation brought a welcome sense of excitement. When we arrived, he parked the car, and as soon as we stepped out, I saw the most breathtaking sight. Leading from where we stood to the entrance of a beach house was a pathway scattered with rose petals.

I froze, staring in awe. The setup was enchanting. On the beach, petals and candles surrounded a table placed in the center of a glowing heart made of lights. A bouquet of roses sat in the middle of the table, alongside glasses, a bottle of champagne, and dinner. Above us, a starry night sky twinkled, and the moonlight reflected off the water, enhancing the scene’s magic.

“This is so beautiful, Jungkook,” I said, unable to contain my smile.

“I’m glad you like it,” he replied, his grin lighting up the moment even more.

“It’s so romantic. Who knew you had this in you?” I teased, laughing softly.

“We both know I’ve always been the romantic one,” he countered with a chuckle.

“Shall we, your highness?” he asked, bowing theatrically as he offered his hand.

“Oh, we shall, your majesty,” I said, giggling as I placed my hand in his.

He led me to the table, pulling out my chair before taking his seat across from me. As we settled in, a waiter seemingly appeared out of nowhere, serving drinks and a delicious meal. We ate, savoring both the food and the atmosphere. Afterward, Jungkook suggested a walk along the beach, and I eagerly agreed.

Hand in hand, we strolled down a path lined with more rose petals and candles. The serene beauty of the scenery left me speechless.

“You never cease to amaze me. How do you even come up with all this?” I asked, glancing up at him.

“I just think about what would make you happy and create a memory worth cherishing,” he replied, pulling me closer.

“Well, mission accomplished. I’m happy. This is thoughtful, and I love you for it. Thank you.”

“You don’t have to thank me. You deserve to be treated like a queen.”

His words melted me, and I hugged him, resting my head against his chest.

As we embraced, Ed Sheeran’s Perfect began to play in the background. Moments later, fireworks lit up the night sky. I gasped, overwhelmed by the display's beauty. Then, a helicopter appeared, carrying a banner that read: WILL YOU MARRY ME, Y/N?

I froze, my eyes filling with tears. Was this real?

“Jungkook…” I turned to face him, and my breath caught. There he was, on one knee, holding an engagement ring.

Tears streamed down my face. Never in my wildest dreams had I imagined this moment.

“The look on your face right now is everything,” Jungkook began, his voice filled with emotion. “I love you, Y/N. I’ve wanted to be with you since the day I met you. These past years have been a journey, but we’re here now. Losing you before was unbearable, and now that I have you, I’ll never let you go. You’re amazing, and I’m so grateful you’re the mother of my child. I promise to cherish and protect you always.

“So, Y/N, will you do me the honor of being my wife—not because of any obligation or contract, but because we love each other? Will you marry me again?”

I was too overwhelmed to speak, so I nodded, smiling through my tears.

“Yes, I’ll marry you, Jungkook.”

His face lit up as he slipped the ring onto my finger and stood, pulling me into his arms.

“I’m so glad you said yes.”

“Of course, I’d say yes! I had no idea this was coming. You’ve made me so happy.”

“I’ve been planning this since the day you left the ring on my desk,” he admitted with a grin. “I want us to have a personal wedding where we exchange our vows, surrounded only by those who matter most. What do you think?”

“It’s perfect,” I said, already imagining the day. “You’re amazing, Jungkook. I love you so much.”

“I love you too, Y/N,” he replied before kissing me deeply.

That night was pure magic. When we returned to the beach house, the romantic surprises continued. Inside, hundreds of roses formed a heart in the center of the room, while others created a trail leading to the bedroom.

“You’ve really outdone yourself this time,” I said, laughing as I took in the sight.

“There’s more,” he teased, his voice soft as he kissed my neck.

That night, we celebrated our love in every way, creating memories I’d treasure forever.

The next morning, I woke up alone. Panic briefly seized me until Jungkook walked in, shirtless and carrying a tray of breakfast.

“Good morning, love,” he greeted with a grin.

“Good morning, babe,” I replied, smiling as he set the tray down beside me.

“Did you sleep well?” he asked, sitting beside me.

“Not much,” I teased, laughing. “But last night was worth it. It was the best night of my life.”

“I’m glad. I’ll always do my best to make you happy,” he said, his sincerity shining through.

Later that day, we celebrated Evie’s birthday. Jungkook and I woke her up with a cake and sang her a happy birthday song. Her joy was contagious as she made a wish and blew out the candles.

While still basking in her excitement, I got a text notification on my phone. Opening it, my heart dropped.

“IT’S YOUR LITTLE PRINCESS’S BIRTHDAY, ISN’T IT? SEND MY REGARDS TO HER, OR SHOULD I COME DELIVER THEM MYSELF?”

It was from Carlos.
