?^_^?BABY?

14|???????y?

The auditorium clapped once again, some emotional, some inspired.

...

After the ceremony, they all met outside the building. Jungkook ran and jumped at Taehyung, hugging his waist tightly.

“Angel hyung, you were the big star. I’m so proud of you, angel hyung!!” he beamed.

Taehyung crouched and pulled him into a warm hug, eyes still moist. “Thank you, baby.”

Seokjin walked over and smacked Taehyung’s arm lightly. “You didn’t tell me you were the topper!”

“You would’ve made a fuss, hyung,” Taehyung chuckled, wiping his cheeks.

“Exactly! I should have made a fuss!” Jin huffed and hugged him tight. “I’m so proud of you, TaeTae.”

"Ouch, baby kicked. See baby also proud on his, cute Taetae uncle." Seokjin said, rubbing his eight months baby bump.

"Thank you, hyung and Thank you cutie." Tae said, giggling as he also caressed the baby bump.

Namjoon nodded. “You earned every bit of it.” and give him side hugged.

Jaewook smiled softly, “All worth it now, hmm? Now, what's next?” Jae asked.

"I planned something, but for now I will enjoy some times and Take care of Jungkook." Taehyung grinned. He nodded.

Hoseok handed him a flower bouquet. “To the real star today.”

Seokjin announced, “Dinner’s on me! I’m treating you all to the best restaurant in town!”

Everyone cheered, and they headed out, teasing Taehyung the whole way.

Even though his eyes still glistened with emotion, Taehyung’s heart felt warm for the first time in years.

Because this graduation wasn’t just about a certificate. It was about love, patience, and the people who made everything worth it.

Later that Evening
At the Restauranta

The blue restaurant is warm and elegant, with soft lighting, cream walls, and the scent of the grilled meat and fresh herbs in the air.

Seokjin had reserved a private room just for them, with a round table full of delicious food already served—steamed dumplings, japchae, beef bulgogi, grilled fish, and colorful banchan.

Everyone is talking, laughing, and clinking glasses, juice for Jungkook and soda for the others.

The mood is light, full of pride and celebration. Everyone enjoying full.

“Let’s raise a toast!” Jin announced dramatically, standing up with his glass of sparkling water.

“To Kim Taehyung, the cute genius graduate who almost dropped out because he forgot his password and cried over an art assignment!”

Everyone burst into laughter as Taehyung hid his face, groaning. Whined “Hyung, why?!”

“But seriously,” Jin added, smiling fondly, “You did well, TaeTae. We’re proud of you.”

Taehyung looked around the table, at Namjoon, Hoseok, Jaewook and finally at Jungkoo, who's unusually quiet.

The little boy had his hands in his lap, his eyes sparkling as he stared at Taehyung with pure admiration.
