"You're engaged?" Seokjin bluntly asks.

"It's really only a promise ring, but...basically yeah, I guess." Jeongguk quietly speaks with a known blush creeping across his cheeks and nose, more than likely reaching ears.

Seokjin couldn't help but smile a proud, genuine smile. Eyes turned to somewhat crescents, not nearly as much as Jimin's, and bright teeth showed. His newly blonde hair swayed around slightly while letting out a soft laugh, feeling Namjoon's hand pressing into the small of his back, "These guys are getting engaged before us, what a shame." Seokjin comments, looking up at Namjoon, who was only shaking his head with a light smile.

"Hey, it's a promise ring just like yours."

"Oh, speaking of ring!'" Seokjin shouts from across the table, taking all fourteen of them off guard at the sudden outburst, "Let me see it!" The eldest boy practically squeals. Jeongguk slowly put up his hand, showcasing the golden band, swirls and such wrapping around the whole thing. It seemed as if everyone in the cafeteria was staring over at that moment, "It's so pretty." Seokjin beams.

"I know, I have great taste." Taehyung chuckles, placing a quick kiss onto Jeongguk's cheek, which was warm.

"No, I have great taste." Jeongguk retorts, "You only got gold because it's one of my favorite colors."

"Yeah but I paid extra to have the pretty stuff on it." He pouts, earning a soft kiss on the lips.

"Fine then, thank you for having a good taste in rings." Jeongguk playfully says, making Taehyung laugh, before they both share another sweet kiss.

"My lord, stop with all the kissing." One of the boys- Bambam? Jeongguk thinks that's his name -scolds, crossing his arms over his chest and looking away.

"You're just mad Jackson's taking Mark to prom and not you." Yugyeom responds with an annoyed and somewhat hurt tone.

"He sounds like an absolute baby." Jinyoung complains, causing the Bambam to roll his brown eyes and quickly brush his fingers through his orange hair.

"It's not my fault Jackson led me on like a complete asshole." The young one mumbles.

The raven haired boy frowned over at the new people, feeling bad there was so much drama going on and completely understanding what depressed state they must be under, yet Jeongguk couldn't help but be grateful all of the drama in his group was over with for a long, long while.

"I'm sure there're many people here that'd love to go to prom with you." Jeongguk quietly says towards Bambam, still shy.

"Like who?" BamBam sadly tests, "Youngjae, Hoseok, Jaebum and Jinyoung are going in some kind of foursome gang, Jackson and Mark are going, and Yugyeom's not interested at all." He loudly says, rather aggressively tearing apart a piece of bread in the process, but he didn't look over in time to see Yugyeom's own sad expression.

Jeongguk smiles slightly, earning a slight squeeze to the hand from Taehyung, "Maybe you should look again?"

"So," Jimin begins once Bambam goes back to more pitiful sulking, leaning over the table to talk to Taehyung better, "have you already asked Guk to go to prom with you?" The orange haired boy asks, already going to prom with Yoongi.

"He doesn't really have to ask." Jeongguk laughs, looking over at the green haired male, "We're practically engaged, so it's kind of set, is it not?" He asks, gaze returning to orange hair, "Tae doesn't have to do anything."
