One Summer's Day

Chapter 43

In a cozy corner of their practice room, Yoongi sat with his fellow BTS members, the rhythmic thud of music from neighboring studios serving as the backdrop to their meeting.

As they took a breather, Yoongi cleared his throat, his eyes meeting those of his friends. "Hey, guys, there's something I wanted to talk to you about."

Namjoon looked up from adjusting his mic, his eyebrows raised in curiosity. "What's on your mind, hyung?"

Yoongi leaned back against the mirrored wall, his expression contemplative. "It's about Jihyo."

Taehyung perked up, his interest piqued. "Jihyo? Did something happen?"

A smile tugged at Yoongi's lips. "Actually, it's something I want to happen. I've been thinking about taking a big step in my relationship with Jihyo."

Jungkook's eyes widened, a mischievous grin playing on his lips. "Oh? Are you finally going to admit that she's better at gaming than you?"

Laughter erupted from the group, and Yoongi chuckled, shaking his head. "Not quite. I'm actually planning to propose to her."

The practice room fell silent, the weight of Yoongi's words hanging in the air. Then, Jin let out a whoop of joy, his excitement contagious. "That's fantastic news, hyung! Congratulations!"

The others joined in, their cheers and well-wishes filling the room with a palpable sense of support and happiness. Yoongi's heart swelled as he felt the camaraderie and love radiating from his friends.

Hoseok clapped Yoongi on the back, a wide grin on his face. "This is amazing, hyung!"

Namjoon raised his water bottle in a mock-toast. "To Yoongi and Jihyo, a love that's as strong as our beats. May your future be filled with happiness and music."

The room echoed with the clink of water bottles, a chorus of celebration that reverberated with the bonds of friendship and shared joy. As they chatted and joked, Yoongi felt a deep sense of gratitude for the people who had stood by him through thick and thin—the people who were now celebrating this significant milestone in his life.

As the practice room hummed with activity around them, Yoongi's thoughts drifted to the person who had brought him to this moment—Jihyo. She had brought a new kind of light and warmth into his life, and he was eager to take this next step, to create a future together that was brimming with love and possibility.

With the encouragement of his friends echoing in his ears, Yoongi felt a renewed sense of purpose and determination. He was ready to embark on this journey, ready to make a grand gesture of love that would forever bind him to the woman who had stolen his heart.

The walls of the JYP Entertainment building hummed with energy, a testament to the creativity and artistry that thrived within its confines. Yoongi stood outside the door to the TWICE practice room, his heart beating a little faster than usual. He took a deep breath, steeling himself for the conversation ahead.

He knocked on the door, the sound echoing through the corridor. Moments later, the door swung open, revealing Nayeon, who greeted him with a bright smile. "Yoongi! What brings you here?"

Yoongi returned the smile, though his nerves were palpable. "Hey, Nayeon. Can I come in for a moment? I wanted to talk to you all about something."

Nayeon stepped aside, ushering him into the room where the other TWICE members were scattered, either practicing their dance routines or engaged in lighthearted conversations. As Yoongi entered, he exchanged friendly nods and greetings, feeling a mix of familiarity and anticipation.
