yoongi, yoongi has spent the last four years of his highly eventful life loving jungkook with all he has in him. four years ago he realised he loved jungkook in a different way, in a way the other members didn't. and how he got so lucky he doesn't know but jungkook loved him back, cared for him in a way no one ever had before, prioritised him and his happiness over everything. so yoongi took him on a date, and one date became two, and two became three, and three became six months togehter, and six months together turned into jungkook moving into yoongi's room in their dorm, and yoongi giving him the password to his studio. then that became a year, a year became two and two became three, and here they are in their fourth year together, at the peak of their bands career, not out to the public but surrounded by their loving members, just as in love as they were on day one and more.
nights were spent in their own world at 3am, may it be in the middle of yoongi's studio or in the practice room after a long day of kook helping him with choreography, slow dancing away to their song. the song that became theirs the moment jungkook came running into yoongi's room two years ago in his oversized hoodie and big round glasses, wanting to show yoongi this new english song he found, telling him even though he couldn't understand the lyrics fully, that he could feel them in this song, that this song is us. and from then on it became theirs and theirs only and yoongi took this into consideration when planning this milestone. he was going to propose. and he was going to plan it with his happiness, koo and the song, happiness in mind only. not the judgemental opinions they'd receive if they were to ever reveal themselves, not money, not going over the top, just the most important person in his life and their song. fast forward, here he is sitting in his studio recording his own vocals to layer over the song, to have it playing in the background, an even more raw and personal version while he asks the most important question he will ever do so in his life, not even needing to ask namjoon for pronunciation help as he's heard the song so much he already knows all the foreign words.
so that's how he ended up in this situation right now, his heart pounding through his chest, the butterflies he always gets looking at jungkook, squeezing his hands a little too tight as he stands in front of him in a garden full of roses, that he organised just for them, his voice slowly flowing into their ears in the background, the younger standing with his confused pout on his face, looking at yoongi with eyes filled with the utmost love, pure and delicate, rare, hard to find. admired constantly by their members, always cooing and teasing about how fondly they look at each other, you can almost imagine the squeal hobi and tae would be making right now if they were here. before the boy has a chance to ask any questions, yoongi decides it's now or never. he says it in korean instead of the original english, but the pouty one of them two recognises straight away what he's saying, especially with everything surrounding them right now.
his soft but shaky voice begins to say 'cause i am the one that's waited this long and i am the one that might get it wrong and I'll be the one that will love you the way i'm supposed to, but will you still love me when nobody wants me around, when i turn eighty-one and forget things, will you still be proud?' to which jungkook just nods but still looks slightly confused. yoongi continues by dropping his knee and releasing one of the soft hands in his tight grasp with his heart plummeting, butterflies swarming around his chest, hands shaking and eyes watering, just to grab the box containing two rings from his jacket pocket, and with the tiny gasp coming from his lovers mouth, he knows he's caught on. looking up into kook's watery eyes through his own, he recites 'and i'll be the one that proposes in a garden of roses, and truly loves you long after our curtain closes'. followed by jungkook gently cupping his face, stroking his thumbs over his cheekbones while dropping to his knees himself, no longer able to keep his shaky self up. now at this closer proximity, yoongi asks jungkook to marry him, tells him he's quite literally purposing in a garden of roses, earning a laugh from the younger who replies with 'i will love you long after our curtain closes', causing both the boys to fall into soft giggles, tears of pure joy running down their faces while they embrace each other tighter than ever before and sharing their first kiss as fiances. everything about it just soft, pure, love, happiness in their garden of roses.
