The campus buzzed like a beehive the moment Taehyung and Jungkook stepped through the gates—hand in hand.

It was a slow, casual walk.Taehyung in a loose tan sweater and silver-rimmed glasses, Jungkook in an oversized white shirt tucked into faded jeans. His hand was snug in Taehyung’s, his thumb nervously brushing over the back of it, but his heart beat steady. Confident. Because this time, he wasn’t hiding.

And the ring sparkled on his finger like it was proud to be seen.

Students started noticing immediately.

Gasps! Stares! Whispers!

“Wait—are they...?”
“Is that—Jungkook and Kim Taehyung? Together?”
“LOOK AT HIS HAND. HE’S WEARING A RING.”
“Shut up, don’t be obvious!!”
“Too late, they’re literally glowing.”

Jungkook blushed under the attention, trying to tuck himself a little behind Taehyung’s shoulder, but Taehyung just squeezed his hand and leaned down.

“You okay?” he murmured.

Jungkook nodded. “I’m good. Just... wow. Everyone’s so loud.”

Taehyung smiled. “Let them be. I want them to see.”

He raised their joined hands just slightly as they walked into the building, like a quiet declaration: yes, this is real.

Taehyung left jungkook in his class and was about to go for his one's but then—

“JEON JUNGKOOK!!”

A whirlwind of energy flew at them in the form of Jack.

“You—YOU TOLD ME NOTHING??!?” he gasped, eyes flicking between them and then landing squarely on the silver ring. “IS THAT A PROPOSAL RING?!

Jungkook opened his mouth. Closed it. “Uh—”

“He proposed to me in a daisy field,” Taehyung said casually.
Jack made a choked sound. “Of course he did. That’s the most romantic thing I’ve ever heard.”

Then he beamed.

“No but seriously—congratulations! I’m so happy for you both."

Jungkook groaned and hid his face behind his hand, while Taehyung laughed and gave Jack a firm handshake.

“Thanks. We’re happy too.”

Lunch was their favorite part of the day.

They found a quiet bench near the campus garden, tucked away behind a tree.Why alone?Cause their other hyungs gave them a chance to enjoy together,no disturbance.Jungkook unwrapped their shared sandwiches,still blushing from all the attention, while Taehyung watched him like he was the most beautiful thing the afternoon sun had ever touched.

“Why are you staring?” Jungkook mumbled through a bite.

Taehyung leaned in. “Because you’re mine.”

Before Jungkook could reply, Taehyung stole a kiss—quick, soft, right at the corner of his mouth.

Jungkook squeaked and looked around. “We’re in public!

“No one’s looking.”

“That girl is looking,” Jungkook whispered, horrified.

Taehyung turned and waved at her with a charming smile.She waved back, laughing.

“See? She ships us.”

Jungkook groaned, but he was smiling anyway.

They sat shoulder to shoulder, sharing bites and sips from the same juice box. Between bites, Taehyung stole two more kisses. Jungkook pretended to complain.He didn’t really mean it.
