Jungkook hurries, “sorry, hyung-”
“It's okay,” Namjoon waves, “you can take it off later.”
He pushes the ring up the finger. Jungkook watches how the thick band of the platinum ring from Namjoon hides the other ring underneath.
He smiles when everyone claps, cheering for them.
Jungkook kisses Namjoon, tasting the alcohol on his lips.
Namjoon sees the frown on his face, his eyes flicker down for a second, “sorry. I was nervous.”
Jungkook shrugs, “it's okay.”
There is a pause before Namjoon cups Jungkook's face, “I am sorry. I will be good. Sorry.”

There is a pause before Namjoon cups Jungkook's face, “I am sorry. I will be good. Sorry.”
Jungkook frowns, “what's wrong, hyung?”
Namjoon's eyes gloss over, “I promise, koo,” he whispers, “I will be the best version of myself for you. I promise.”
Jungkook's heart clenches, something feels so missing in Namjoon, “tell me what's wrong.”
“You two!” Mr. Kim interrupts.

“Let's smile for the cameras,” he points ahead, “come on.”
Jungkook stands beside Namjoon. Namjoon fidgets. His eyes wavering. Jungkook notices the unease in the man's form. Namjoon flinches when Jungkook reaches to take his hand in his.
“Come with me,” Jungkook murmurs.

They slip past their parents when the cameras go off. The others getting busy with the party.
Jungkook takes Namjoon to his bedroom, closing the door behind them.
“Tell me, what's wrong?” Jungkook demands, “hyung, you are not lying to me anymore! I deserve to know. Please.”

Namjoon watches him silently. Jungkook walks over to Namjoon, taking his hands in his.
“Tell me,” he begs, feeling how cold those hands are, “what's wrong?”
Namjoon swallows, looking away, “I don't know how to-” he gulps, “where to start.”
“I am here,” Jungkook assures.

“I am here,” Jungkook assures.
“I should have done this before the engagement,” Namjoon murmurs, “I know, I should have. I just,” his face crumbles, “I was so confused.”
Jungkook guides the man to his bed. Making him sit at the edge and sitting down himself.
Namjoon breathes out, “first, I really love you.”

“But,” Namjoon murmurs, “there's this guy,” he looks down at his trembling hands, “there's this guy I cared a lot about.”
Jungkook listens. His eyes focused on Namjoon.
Jungkook reaches to grasp Namjoon's arm, nodding for him to go on. Namjoon looks at Jungkook, face crumbling.

“I don't know, koo,” Namjoon bows his head, “I have told myself I always had feelings for you. Seeing you with Taehyung, I was worried about you. I wanted it to be me because I thought you deserve the best and I can be that. Also, I really love you. We are perfect together.”
“Do you get me?” Namjoon asks, desperate.
Jungkook does. He nods.
“I get you,” Jungkook murmurs, “I feel the same. I love you. We are perfect together. We match. But,” he rubs Namjoon's back, “what is about this guy? What do you mean?”
Namjoon nods, “I don't know what I-”
Jungkook does. He nods.

Namjoon nods, “I don't know what I-”
“I don't know,” Namjoon hides his face in his hands, “fuck, I don't know-”
“Do you love him?” Jungkook wonders.
Namjoon goes still, “no! No, I don't. That's not the case!”
Jungkook tilts his head, “hyung, then what's the matter? Who is it?”
Namjoon swallows, “Jin.”
“Do you love him?” Jungkook wonders.
Namjoon goes still, “no! No, I don't. That's not the case!”
Jungkook tilts his head, “hyung, then what's the matter? Who is it?”
Namjoon swallows, “Jin.”
“Jin hyung?” Jungkook asks, “is this you freaking out because he is resigning?”
Namjoon looks at him, “I don't know. Is it?”
Jungkook smiles, “hyung, it must be that. You are so dependent on him. He has been with you for so long. I think it's making you worried.”
Namjoon looks at him, “I don't know. Is it?”
Jungkook smiles, “hyung, it must be that. You are so dependent on him. He has been with you for so long. I think it's making you worried.”
Namjoon looks at Jungkook, his eyes focused on the younger, “it's just that? I kept thinking I am being unfair to you somehow. It's just worry. Then?”
Jungkook nods, smile wide on his face, “yeah. Just that. You are worried. About him. About your future. Nothing else.”
Jungkook nods, smile wide on his face, “yeah. Just that. You are worried. About him. About your future. Nothing else.”

Namjoon settles a little, a long breath escaping him, “yeah, okay. Yeah, that makes sense. I guess.”
Jungkook gives a nod, “good. I am glad we talked. Thank you for telling me what was making you sad, hyung. But,” his eyes wander over Namjoon's face, “can I ask something?”
Jungkook gives a nod, “good. I am glad we talked. Thank you for telling me what was making you sad, hyung. But,” his eyes wander over Namjoon's face, “can I ask something?”
When Namjoon nods, Jungkook asks, “was there ever more than just care?” he looks at their joined hands, their engagement rings shining on their fingers, “emotionally? Physically?” he rushes to clarify, “I don't care about your past. I just want to know.”
Namjoon shakes his head, his easy smile back on his lips, “no,” he breathes out, “Jin and I never did anything physically. Emotionally, I just care about him. We have known each other for a long time. You know?”
Jungkook breathes out, “yeah, I know. That's all I need to know.”
Jungkook breathes out, “yeah, I know. That's all I need to know.”
Jungkook straddles Namjoon then, a playful smirk on his lips, “then, let's celebrate our engagement, hyung.”
Namjoon gives him a fond shake of his head, “you are so adorable. Everyone is waiting for us downstairs, though.”
Jungkook shrugs, “they will understand.”

Taehyung feels full. The entire day he spent in the theme park. Enjoying the rides, the arcade games, then they went to eat something light and the evening was when they went to the club where Jimin and Jin joined them.
It's almost past 11 when he makes his way home.
