i leaned against one of the pillars holding up the ceiling, staring out the window at the night sky.

"the stars out here are amazing." i sighed.

i felt your arms wrap around me as you rested your chin on my shoulder.

"but you shine so much brighter than them." you whispered in my ear. i clicked my tongue and slapped your thigh playfully, without turning around.

"gross." i teased.

you pulled away from me. "jungkook." i hummed in response.

"you're the most beautiful person i've ever laid eyes on."

i turned around, curious at your sudden change in tone. you blushed profusely and avoided eye contact with me.

"a-and in the last few months that i've known you, i've felt so much more... alive than i've ever been. to be honest with you, the day i met you, i was considering quitting sailing. maybe settling down. i was tired of everything. but then, you came and made me love sailing again. and you made me fall in love with you."

my face started to grow hot and i smiled in embarrassment. "where are you going with this?"

you finally met my eyes."jungkook, you're amazing and i never want to leave your side." you got down on one knee and my hand flew to my mouth.

"i want to spend the rest of my life with you." you reached into your pocket.

"so,

will you marry me?" you held up a small wooden ring, and tears started pooling in my eyes.

i nodded my head rapidly, unable to speak. you broke into a huge, boxy grin and stood up, slipping the ring onto my finger. i stared at it in shock; the beautiful, imperfect carving of a flower resting on the band of the it.

you laughed sheepishly. "i'm sorry it's so messy. i'm not very good at carving, we can get a real ring when we get to san diego."

i shook my head. "no," i managed to get out in between ugly sobs. "it's perfect."

you smiled happily and pulled me into a tight hug. i buried my head into your chest, bursting with happiness.

you cupped my face and gently wiped my tears with his thumbs. you then leaned down and pressed a sweet kiss to my lips.

"i love you, jungkook."

"i love you too, taehyung. so, so much."
