The air on the deck grew still as the soft strumming of a guitar echoed through the night. Taehyung, wiping away the tears that threatened to spill, froze when he heard a voice call out, familiar yet amplified.
“Kim Taehyung,” Jungkook’s deep, melodic voice resonated through the crowd, drawing all eyes toward the small stage at the far end of the deck.
Taehyung turned, his breath catching in his throat as he saw Jungkook sitting on a chair under a spotlight. A mic in one hand and a guitar strapped across his shoulder, his presence illuminated the darkness. His sharp features softened in the glow, and his eyes searched only for Taehyung amidst the sea of faces.
Jimin’s hand rested gently on Taehyung’s shoulder. “Your prince is calling for you,” he whispered, a knowing smile tugging at his lips.
Taehyung’s vision blurred slightly, his unshed tears catching the light. His heart thudded in his chest as Jungkook’s gaze locked onto his.
Jungkook adjusted the mic and spoke, his voice warm and clear. “My love, this is for you.”
And then, he began.
The first notes of *“Still With You”* floated into the night, tender and filled with longing. Jungkook’s fingers danced across the guitar strings, each note a thread in the intricate tapestry of emotions he was weaving. Yoongi sat reluctantly at the piano, his hands moving skillfully over the keys, while the faint hum of violins added a layer of ethereal beauty to the performance.
The night seemed to hold its breath. The crowd, a mix of affluent strangers and close friends, stood captivated, their attention drawn to the raw vulnerability Jungkook poured into the song.
The soft drizzle of rain began to fall, tiny droplets shimmering under the golden lights. It was as if the universe itself had conspired to create the perfect ambiance for this moment. Taehyung stood rooted in place, his chest tightening at the sight before him.
Jungkook’s voice soared, rich and velvety, every word dripping with affection:
🎶 "In a pitch-dark room, I want to have you by my side. It still feels like you're next to me, I still feel you." 🎶
His gaze never wavered from Taehyung, his eyes filled with a love so profound it left Taehyung breathless. The guitar chords melded seamlessly with the piano, the violins swelling during the chorus, adding a dreamlike quality to the performance.
As the song continued, Jungkook’s voice grew softer, almost like a whisper carried by the gentle breeze:
🎶 "Even if my steps are slow, I will walk to your side. Still with you." 🎶
With the final verse, Jungkook set his guitar aside, picking up the mic as he stepped off the stage. The crowd parted like the sea, allowing him a direct path to Taehyung. Each step he took was deliberate, slow, as if savoring the journey toward the person who owned his heart.
