Back To December [?]

The news of Jungkook's proposal to Jisoo spread through their friends and family like wildfire. Messages inundated their phones, filled with emojis, hilarious GIFs, and exuberant congratulations. As Jisoo scrolled through the avalanche of well-wishes, she couldn't help but laugh at the array of reactions from their loved ones.

Jungkook had been discharged from the hospital and was steadily recovering at home. With Jisoo by his side every step of the way, their bond had grown stronger, fortified by the challenges they had overcome together.

Jisoo's best friend, Hwasa, burst into the apartment in a frenzy, wielding a bouquet of flowers and a bottle of champagne. "Girl, you better believe we're throwing the most epic engagement party ever!" she exclaimed, twirling around the living room.Nayeon, her neighbor and confidante, marched in next, followed by Wheein, each holding balloons that read 'Congratulations!' in bold, vibrant colors. "We're here to plan the bachelorette party!" they chorused, exchanging mischievous glances.

Meanwhile, Joshua, called in with an exuberant, "Dude, I'm already planning your bachelor party!" causing Jungkook to chuckle nervously and shoot Jisoo a quick 'Help me!' glance.

The next day, their families gathered for a celebratory brunch. Jungkook's grandmother, known for her lively spirit, regaled everyone with anecdotes from her youth, making them laugh till their stomachs hurt."Jisoo, my dear, you've captured my grandson's heart," she winked, raising her glass. "Welcome to the family!"

"You know," Jungkook whispered in her ear, "if I knew getting engaged would involve this much planning, I might've reconsidered!" He winked playfully, causing Jisoo to chuckle and playfully elbow him.

One breezy evening, Jungkook and Jisoo stood on the balcony of their apartment, sipping hot cocoa and watching the city lights twinkle in the distance. The air was crisp, carrying a promise of a fresh start."We've been through so much," Jisoo said, leaning against Jungkook.

"We have," he replied, wrapping his arm around her waist. "But it's made us stronger."Their hearts beat in sync, resonating with a silent understanding that words could never capture."Hey," Jungkook turned to face her, a glint of mischief in his eyes, "How about we make a bucket list?"

Jisoo chuckled. "A bucket list?""Yeah!" Jungkook grinned. "Things we've always wanted to do together. Adventures, travels, crazy stuff... the works!"

As they started brainstorming ideas, their laughter echoed in the quiet night, painting the sky with a canvas of their dreams.In the days that followed, they crafted their list - exploring new cuisines, road-tripping to remote towns, and even attempting a cooking class (which ended in an amusing disaster). Each experience was a testament to their love, filling their lives with cherished memories.

On a starlit night, Jungkook led Jisoo to their favorite spot, a secluded area by the waterfront. With the gentle lapping of the waves as their soundtrack, he took her hand and looked deeply into her eyes.

"Jisoo, you've been my rock, my light, and my everything," Jungkook began, his voice steady and full of emotion. "Will you continue to be my partner in this wild, beautiful adventure we call life?"

Tears welled up in Jisoo's eyes as she nodded vigorously, unable to speak amidst the overwhelming emotions. Jungkook slipped a ring onto her finger - a symbol of their unwavering commitment and the promises they made to each other.As they embraced, surrounded by the serene beauty of the night, they knew that whatever tomorrow held, they would face it together, hand in hand, hearts intertwined, forever.

And so, under the starry sky, their love story continued, a beautiful symphony of shared moments and unspoken words. As they reminisced about the challenges they conquered and the laughter they shared, their hearts couldn't help but wander back to December, the month that marked the beginning of their extraordinary journey.

The phrase 'back to December' echoed in their conversations, not as a return to a specific time but as a tribute to their growth, the resilience they found in each other, and the enduring bond that flourished despite the tests of time.

The end.
