I also just posted my first chapter of my Seokjin story, it's a Seokjin x Hybrid!Reader. I'd really appreciate it if you checked it out, I really worked hard on it and I'm happy with it so far. 

You made it two thirds of the way home before you realized that, in chasing after Jennie and Doyoung, you'd forgotten to actually buy anything at the store. You hung a u-turn, pulling into the store parking lot and checking to see if your cart was still there. It was, in fact, only missing a few items, you assumed from customers who passed by and thought that the cart was unattended, just taking the items for themselves. You strolled through the rest of the aisles that you needed to, picking up items here and there before your cart was full, and your list was finished.

Taehyung helped load all of the items onto the conveyor belt, lifting the heavier things, such as the drinks for you. He stood behind you at the register, chin resting on your shoulder and arms wrapped around your waist. You slid your card through the card reader, paying for all of your purchases and bagging them. You didn't notice, but Taehyung's eyes were focused on the woman behind the register, more specifically, her left ring finger.

A wedding ring sat on her finger, shining in the light that came from above, and glinting whenever she moved her hands. He looked down at your ring finger now, seeing it bare of such pretty jewelry. He frowned, deciding that he'd have to marry you soon, because then he could get you a pretty ring, and everyone would know that you two were together. 

Taehyung was strangely silent the entire way home, and to be honest you were getting a little bit nervous. He was never silent, not anymore at least. When he had first come into your life, sure, he was reserved, but he opened up quickly. Watching him stare down at his thumbs, saying nothing made you think that there was something wrong. You held out your hand, offering to hold his as you drove with the other. He gave you a smile, a genuine one, and slid his hand into yours. Once again, he was reminded of the fact that there was no ring on your finger by the way that he could feel the soft skin of your hand on his. 

Pulling into your parking space at the house, you and Taehyung unloaded the car and brought the bags inside. You had to set some of yours down to embrace Jungkook, who came flying at you from the stairs in greeting.

"Y/N! TaeTae! You're finally back! What happened? Did you get lost at the store?"

You giggled, stroking his hair back and kissing each of his ears.

"No Kookie, we had to help an injured hybrid, we got them safe to the shelter. We saw Seokminnie and Soonyoungie, and we were gonna visit the others but then they both fell asleep. I'll take you in tomorrow and you can play with them all day." He nodded vigorously at the prospect, cottontail wiggling in excitement. You set him down, starting to put away the groceries and household necessities that you'd picked up at the store.

Namjoon was the only other one in the living room, and he came to greet you as well.

"Thanks Y/N, I'm sorry again for breaking the vase."

"It's fine Joonie, don't worry about it." You handed him a roll of paper towels, thanking him when he put it on the rack beside the sink. He moved to leave the kitchen, but a grip on his wrist held him back. He turned to see Taehyung, looking at the floor while holding his arm.

"Can I talk to you for a second? In private?"

Namjoon peered at you over Taehyung's shoulder, seeing a worried look on your face. You nodded nevertheless, so Namjoon complied, letting Taehyung lead him out to the living room.

God, how you wished you had hybrid hearing.

"Namjoon, I want to marry Y/N. What do I do?" Taehyung asked the older man, cocking his head to the side slightly, reminiscent of a real puppy.

Namjoon spluttered slightly, "Well, I mean, I... I think you could just ask them. What do you need to know how to do?"

"How do I get them a ring?"

"Oh, I can take you to a jeweler tomorrow, we can look at them. You have to go easy on me though, I can't pay for something super expensive."

"Wait, but aren't I supposed to pay?"

"Well, traditionally, but you don't have any money, and I want Y/N to have a nice ring just as much as you."

"Thank you." Taehyung muttered, slightly embarrassed by the fact that one of his elders had to pay for his partner's wedding ring.

"And don't get me wrong, I definitely want you to marry Y/N, but have you two ever discussed it together? I know, you really want to, but they might not be ready yet."

"But why not? Don't they love me?"

"They absolutely love you, but marriage is a big commitment. It's scary sometimes to think about, but I'm not going to stop you from asking Y/N. Like I said, I really want you to marry them. There's no one in this world they love more than you."

Taehyung nodded, slightly comforted by the words that Namjoon had said, but nervousness still lingering in his tummy. He wanted things to be perfect for you, he wanted you to be overwhelmed with love, and he wanted nothing more than to be yours forever. 

Jungkook's tail was practically vibrating as he sat on the stairs, tall bunny ears pressed onto the wall that separated the stairs from the living room. He had a vague idea of what marriage meant, it meant that you and Taehyung would stay together forever and ever. Even though you'd introduced Taehyung to Jungkook as a brother figure, he'd been much more affected by the idea of having a father, and treated Taehyung as one. He thought of you as his mother anyways, so the fact that Taehyung was going to marry you only meant that his Mommy and Daddy would stay together forever.

He ran upstairs as quietly as he could, hopping into the bed that you and Taehyung shared, a big bunny grin on his face as he imagined the two of you as his real parents.

(i know that a lot of you aren't of age yet, but literally this is fanfiction, just imagine yourself older :')  )
