taehyung graduated from high school one month ago and his certificate is so good, he could study whatever he wants. but he also worked very hard for it and the last four months before his graduation he was studying almost every day for hours.
he's looking for an university in the internet right now. it's 11 am and when he woke up he saw a note from jeongguk that he has to do something and will come back later.
that made taehyung kind of sad since today it's his birthday, but he's waiting patiently.

*2 hours later*
"ggukie!", taehyung says excitedly and stands up to hug jeongguk. jeongguk quickly hugs him back. "happy birthday baby.", he says and as they both pull away he gives him a gift bag.
"thank you so much ggukie!", he says, so excited for his gift. they both sit down on the couch and taehyung pulls out two little boxes.
"open this one first.", jeongguk says and points at one box that looks a little different than the other box.
taehyung opens it and gasps loudly. it's an bracelet made of diamonds and it's really pretty. there's a little part which is just silver and there you can read "JT🖤" and next to it a date.
taehyung looks confused while reading the date. "the day we first met.", jeongguk explains and taehyung opens his mouth and then pouts, looking directly into jeongguk's eyes.
"ggukie, this is so beautiful thank you! i love it so so much!", he says and hugs jeongguk tightly. jeongguk smiles and helps him putting it on after that.
"i'm glad you like it baby. now open the other box."
"oh, right.", taehyung says and takes the other box in his hands. he opens it but he frowns when he sees keys. "ggukie what is this?"
"go change. i took some comfy clothes out for you for the drive. i already packed all your things, they're in my car."
taehyung's eyes grow wide and he opens his mouth again.
"gguk.", he says and starts smiling. "don't tell me..."
"go change.", jeongguk chuckles and taehyung stands up, squeaking like a girl before he kisses jeongguk's face for like 5 times and then runs to jeongguk's bedroom.
he sees that jeongguk put out sweatpants for him and a thin sweatshirt. he quickly puts them on and then goes back to jeongguk.
"but are you sure that you didn't forget anything? i mean-"
"shh, just come already.", jeongguk says and taehyung nods, smiling widely. "okay."
they grab their phones and jackets before they leave the apartment and go to jeongguk's car. "gguk, i'm so excited! how long will we drive?"
"about three hours."
"okay.", he says and takes a deep breath.
"on the backseat are your favorite snacks. oh and also strawberry milk. we can stop somewhere if you get hungry."
"i have the best boyfriend in the whole world.", taehyung says while grabbing his favorite snacks. also jeongguk gives him the aux and taehyung smiles happily as he starts playing his favorite songs.

"oh my god.", taehyung says.
"g-gukk."
"come here baby.", jeongguk says and taehyung hugs him tighter than ever before. "this isn't real.", he cries.
"it is. it is real and it's ours."
taehyung looks at him. "i can't believe this." he can't put his feelings into words. it just feels surreal. it feels like a perfect dream, too beautiful to be real in this shitty world.
"there are two good universities 10 minutes away from here. and you know what? you can come guys!", jeongguk calls and taehyung frowns.
but it quickly turns into a smile when he sees hoseok, yoongi, namjoon and jin. "happy birthday!"
"what? you guys? here?", taehyung asks happily and they all nod. "our houses are two minutes away from yours."
"hoseok and yoongi have a workshop here to fix cars and shit. jin and namjoon have a little cafe. i'll help them while you're leaving for university. i already registered you and both universities accepted you. we'll go to both so you can choose.", jeongguk explains.
taehyung can't believe what just happens. he's smiling but suddenly he starts to sob.
they start to worry about him but jeongguk knows that these are happy tears. he pulls him closer and lets him cry into his chest.
taehyung can't believe that jeongguk just gave him a new chance. a chance to live. a chance to leave the past behind him and start a new life without abusive parents or people that abusive him mentally. he has a new chance to live and it's all because he met jeongguk that night when he went out for a walk.
he can't stop his tears.
"doesn't he like it?", taehyung hears the other say and he lets go of jeongguk to look at them.
"are you crazy? i love it!"
"thank god.", jin says and taehyung giggles before he turns his head to jeongguk again.
he looks directly into his eyes and then shakes his head slowly. "i love you so so much. thank you.", he says and jeongguk just smiles at him.
"i love you too baby.", jeongguk says and pecks his lips. "but come! you have to see the rest.", he says since they still haven't went inside the house.
they go inside and it's just stunning. it's not too big and not too small. jeongguk has shown him everything by now but one room is still left. he frowns when he sees the room is empty.
"gguk, wha-"
"just in case we decide to..."
taehyung knows what he means and he could start crying again. if they decide to adopt a baby, this will be the baby's room.
"i love you.", taehyung whispers as he looks around the room.
jeongguk grabs his hand softly and pulls him outside. he goes with taehyung to the beach which is literally right in front of their house.
"we have a new chance.", taehyung says.
"a chance to be happy.", jeongguk ads.
"to leave the past behind us."
"to let flowers grow right where we lay.", jeongguk says and turns his head to taehyung. taehyung kisses him and of course jeongguk responses.
"i love you. forever.", taehyung says.
"i love you too baby. forever."
