17: More Than You'll Ever Know

Nathan Sykes - More Than You'll Ever Know

After about thirty minutes of me just laying there I decide to call Taehyung's mom.

"Hi Jungkook what can I do for you?" His mom asks as soon as she answers the phone.

"If you can, can you, your husband, and Lia get everything set up?" I ask.

"Yeah we can. You okay. You still want it in the same place?"

"Yes ma'am. Do you remember where it is?"

"Yes I remember."

"Alright if you need help I'll be sending Baekhyun and Chanyeol your way."

"Ok that's fine. Well anyways I'll let you go so that you can get some rest. We don't need you being jet lagged which will end up with you passing out because of exhaustion. That's not a good look or Impression you're trying to make when you're proposing." She says while laughing slightly.

"Yeah you're right. Well I'll let you be and get some rest so I won't let you all down and be a disappointment by passing out."

"Alright hun, bye." She says before hanging up.

I text Baekhyun asking if he and Chanyeol can help Taehyung's parents set up everything. He responds immediately telling me that they can help before telling me to get some rest as well before I put my phone on the charger and turns my phone off before going to sleep.

I am woken up by Jin an hour before we land. I get ready and refrain from waking Taehyung up.

Once we land I continue to let Taehyung sleep while the rest of us gets our things off of it and into our vehicles. Once we are done I get Tae and place him in the car before driving to our house. Namjoon unlocks the door as the rest of us gets out of our vehicles. I get Tae out of the car and takes him into our room before getting our things out brings them inside to our room with the help of the others.

Once we're all done I take Jin and Jimin aside.

"Taehyung's parents, sister, Baekhyun, and Chanyeol are setting up everything. When Taehyung wakes up I want the two of you to help him pick out what to wear. Also when it's time I'll be gone to the spot so when the both of you are done get everyone else and heads there and get to your spots with your piece of paper along with your roses. Baekhyun will be here to pick him up when you all leave. Let him sleep until I tell when it's time for him to get ready. In the mean time go spend time with your mates." I say making them nod before leading heading in their own directions.

I go out back heading to my now fix studio and draws what is on my mind.

"Proposing to our son are you?" A male voice says making me jump slightly before turning around to see Taehyung's godly parents.

"Yes, I am. Do I need your permission as well?" I ask making them laugh.

"No child, Taehyung is your mate and we respect that." Eclipsa says making me nod.

"We know that you will do anything to protect Taehyung and anyone else in thats important to you. Be careful around here. You all need to hurry and figure out things then move. This place is no longer safe for you. The Alpha is planning something along with a few council members." Sephtis says making me nod.

"I'll talk to the others along with Taehyung's family and friends on what to do."

"That's all we needed to say. Oh! And give you this to give to Taehyung." Eclipsa says before manifesting a beautiful Galaxy stone ring and a matching choker.

"They belong to Araeson. He gave them to me in hopes of giving them to a descendant of his as a keepsake or something to propose to their mate with or that's what he told me. I think he knew I was going to have Taehyung. Along with the fact that you, his descendant was going to be the mate of Taehyung. He just never said anything." She says holding onto Sephtis.

"We must get going before both mine and her siblings start wondering where we are." Sephtis says making me nod before the two disappear.

I leave the studio and goes back in the house to make sure the suit I am wearing later is clean before going to check on everything else.

When I am done I decide to go over all of the details in my head to see if I am missing anything. Once I know that I haven't I walk out of the house leaving to go to the store getting everything that will be needed to go in the picnic basket hiding the ring Araeson had Eclipsa give to me in it.

I go to a flower shop in town and gets red, white, and pink roses for everyone on the path to give Taehyung before he gets to me at the end. I'll have Jin and Jimin have Tae wear the Galaxy stone choker that came with the ring I am proposing to him with.

I don't have to buy flower petals to line the path that has already been done. I do however need to get some for his bath so I get them before leaving and heading back to the house.

When get to the house I pack everything that needs to be in the picnic basket before taking the rose petals to mine and his bathroom placing them in a hidden spot for when we come back here.

I walk back into the room to see Taehyung cuddling a pillow as soft snores come from him.

You must be thinking he sleeps to much. No he doesn't he just hasn't gotten enough. When you dream it takes up a lot of your sleep time and makes you even more tired. So having someone visit you in your dreams takes a lot out of you. Staying there for a year or two in the dream world may not seem like a lot in the real world but it is on your body. I myself is tired but I'm pushing back a bit so that I can get some things done but since those things are now done I'm going to go to sleep, take a nap because I need it.

I walk over to the bed and puts my phone on the charger before fixing the alarm. I crawl on to the bed getting under the covers before bringing Tae to me. I focus on his scent and his breathing before falling to sleep myself.

I wake up to my alarm, the noise making Taehyung whine in protest along with his source of warm leaving the bed. I replace myself with a pillow after I turn off my alarm. I get the suit that I am going to wear before taking a shower and gets ready.

I walk back into the bedroom and walks over to the bed and kisses Tae on the temple before walking out of the room closing the door behind me.

Jin, I need to give you something before I leave to get to my spot. I say mind linking to him.

Ok, I'm in mine and Namjoon's room getting ready. I'll be down when I'm done. Namjoon, Yoongi, and Hoseok have already left.

Alright, I'll be in the living room.

A couple of minutes ago by when Jin comes down along with Jimin.

"I want Taehyung to wear this as well. Sephtis and Eclipsa manifested in my studio and gave me this a long with a ring that I am going to propose to him with. Before either of you ask I already had a ring already but I don't think it would be right for it. Ever since it was bought I've thought that and now that I think about it I think this is why." I say hand Jin the choker making him nod taking the necklace from me.

"Well I'll be going. You can wake him up because he's still asleep."

"But you said wait for him to wake up."

"I'm saying this because I highly doubt that he's going to wake up anytime soon." I sat laughing a little making the both smile shaking their heads slightly.

"Well anyways I'm gonna go so that the two of you can go wake him up and help get ready." I say before getting everything and leaves the house heading to mine and Taehyung's waterfall where the others are waiting for me minus Jin, Jimin, and Baekhyun.

"Jin and Jimin will be once they are done getting Taehyung ready. Baekhyun is bringing him. When the two gets here Jimin will be the first person he will come to then Hoseok, Namjoon, Jin, Yoongi, Lia, Chanyeol, Mrs. Kim, Mr. Kim, and at the waterfall me. Here are the notes and roses to give him when he gets to each of you. You all know that your places are marked with a lantern and a little table to set the flowers and notes on so that they won't get broken and messed up. Hoseok since you are the person the two will come in contact with you are going to give Jin and Jimin their roses and notes to give to Tae. Also tell them where they are to go to. Text me when Tae gets here." I say giving Hoseok nine roses.

"Alright I got it." He says as I hand him nine roses and three notes.

Once everyone has their flowers they head to their spots as I head to mine. As I walk the path it is lit up beautifully even though it is not yet dark out the path still needs a little light. When I get to the waterfall I look around in awe. It is beautiful. It has always been. It's beauty has been enhanced tenfold. Flower petals cover the ground. Stepping stones leading to the waterhole at the bottom of the waterfall. The spot Taehyung and I mated has a soft waterproof blanket laying on top of it. I set the picnic basket on the stones beside it before sitting on the blanket without messing it up. Lights are strung around on low hanging branches.

Taehyung's POV

I am being woken up by Jin and Jimin.

"Come on Tae you need to take a shower and get ready." Jin says pulling me up.

"Ready for what?" I ask.

"You'll know when we get there." He says making me annoyed but I get up regardless.

"We'll get what you are going to wear." Jimin says making me nod before heading to the bathroom and gets the shower ready before taking my clothes off and gets in the shower.

A couple of minutes later one of the two comes in before leaving the room closing the door behind him once again. When I'm done with my shower I get out and drys off with my towel. I look at the clothes that are set on the counter. The outfit consists of a black and grey striped lace long sleeved shirt, and holographic skirt, galaxy suspenders, grey knee high socks, and galaxy high top converse. (I match things together I can't help it.)

I put my clothes on after drying my hair. I walk out of the bathroom where Jin and Jimin still are.

"We are going to do your makeup and put this choker on you then we are going to leave. Baekhyun will be here to pick you up soon after." Jin says making me confused.

"Why can't you both take me?"

"We have something to do. That's why Baekhyun is taking you." Jimin says mouthe an 'o' even though I'm still confused.

They do my makeup and puts a beautiful Galaxy stone choker me.

"You color coordinated my outfit from the necklace didn't you?" I ask making them both chuckle.

"Yep, we did. Anyways we are done so we are going to go. Baekhyun should be here any minute." Jin says as he grabs Jimin's arm and the two rush out of the room.

The skirt has pockets so I get my phone and puts it in one of the pockets before heading out of the room and goes to the living room. I didn't have to wait long after Jin and Jimin left.

A knock sounds on the door and I go to answer it grabbing my keys on the way to see Baekhyun.

"You look amazing Tae now let's go. I don't want make someone annoyed for no reason." He says making me confused as he moves out of the way so I can come out before locking the door behind me.

We get him car and leaves. He drives down the road that heads to the waterfall.

How can he know where it is?

"Don't question it Tae. Be patient and you will see." Baekhyun says making me huff in annoyance which he laughs at a little.

When we get to the end I see Jimin's, Jungkook's, my parents, Chanyeol's, and Hoseok's car here which makes me even more confused. The two of us get out of the care and starts to walk the lit up path until we get to Jimin who is standing beside a table with three different colored roses on it while holding a note. When we get to him he get the flowers off the table and hands them to me along with the note.

I open the note.

You thawed this frozen heart with the warmth of your beautiful love.

"Go on before the others get annoyed." He says making me nod before Baekhyun and I continue on our way when we get to the next person who is Hoseok.

He gives me three more roses along with another note.

I open the note.

A beauty to behold like you is a beauty that should be treasured. You are my treasure.

"Baekhyun, I need to tell you something." Hoseok says making Baekhyun nod before walking over to him and Hoseok whispers something to him away from my hearing.

"Ok, thanks we'll be going." Baekhyun says pulling me to my next stop which happens to be Chanyeol.

He hands me three roses and a note. I open it.

I may be cheesy but I see that it doesn't make you love me any less.

"This is where I leave you." Baekhyun says making me nod as I continue on until I reach Jin.

"See busy." He says making me laugh as he hands me three roses and a note which I open.

White rose: Pure and clean.

When I first me you. You were pure, untouched, you you always will be even though you are mated to me.

I chuckle before continuing. Lia comes into my view as I make my way towards her.

"I'm jealous, you get a Lycan as a mate." She says pouting as she hands me three roses and a note.

I got lazy on folding the notes so the rest of them are going to be like this.

Pink Rose: Pure love this is what you give when you think you're in love with someone.

My love has been given so purely from afar. Not able to be reached until the day you became mine.

"You'll find your mate when you come of age. Stop being so butt hurt over it." I say before leaving.

A half asleep Yoongi comes into my view.

He hands me three roses and a note.

"I'll leaves quickly so that you can go to your mates so that you can go to sleep." I say making him nod.

I read over the note in a hurry.

Red Rose: Love

I love you with everything in me.

I wave to Yoongi before leaving.

Namjoon comes into view along with a broken table as he delicately holds onto the three roses and the note.

When I get to him he immediately hands them to me so that nothing happens to them.

"You can go to Jin I'll be in my way." I say before leaving as I read over the note.

Thou ever young, fresh, lov'd and delicate wooer, who's blush doth thaw the consecrated snow.

Wow... I never expected that.

I think as I head to my next stop. My eyes locate my mom after walking for a little bit.

When get to her she has a smile filling her face making me laugh slightly as she eagerly hand me the three roses along with the note which she so desperately wants me to read which I do.

If thou rememberst not the slightest folly that ever love and make thee run into, thou has not lov'd.

"Go on. Don't want to keep your mate waiting." She says before pushing me to go one making me shaking my head at her as I continue on.

I walk until I see my dad.

"You finally made it." My dad cries out making me laugh out as I get to him.

He hands me the three roses with a black silk ribbon that he ties around the big bouquet of roses before he hands me my last note.

"Go on he's been waiting patiently." He says as I do as he says and reads the note as I walk.

Love, which teacheth me that thou and I am one.

It's not long until I get to the waterfall where he's is sitting on the stones waiting for me patiently.

Once he hears me coming his attention focuses on me as I make my way to him.

"Hello my love." He says once I get to him as he takes the notes and the roses from me placing them beside the basket making sure that nothing goes into the water.

"Hi Kookie, what is all this?"

"You'll know with time." He says pulling me to sit down on the blanket that lays on the stones as he brings the picnic basket and places it between us.

"Ere I could make thee open thy white hand, and clap thyself my love; then didst thou utter, I am yours' forever!"

"On the last few notes and even now you've quoted Shakespeare. I'm not complaining but why?"

"How can I not? You bring it out of me." He says as he takes the contents of the basket out all being food which makes my stomach growl. I think all I've ate has been breakfast and that's it.

He feeds me the food insisting that he feeds me instead of doing it myself which I'm okay. The whole thing is cute. Once we're done eating he packs everything back in the basket.

He motions for me to look up since it is dark now. You can barely see the sky because of the trees but what you can see is beautiful. I go to look at Jungkook but he is no longer beside me. I don't have to look much to see him on one holding a ring box.

I jump up from my spot in shock as I hold a hand over my mouth.

"You are the sun to my moon. The stars to my sky. You are my mate. If that alpha had not rejected you I would have done everything in my power to fight for you because you are my everything. I don't think I would have been able to let you go. You are my everything. We met when you were twelve. I wasn't expecting to find my mate when we come here but I did. I for a fact I wouldn't have given you up so easily but your happiness is my goal. If you were truly happy I would have had to give up. I would be lying if I said I wasn't glad that that pathetic alpha rejected you. I am really happy he did. I love you, will always love you. I would do anything to protect you. Kim Taehyung will you do me the honor of marrying me?" He asks taking the ring out of the box.

At the moment I'm so emotional to even answer but I nod my head yes while trying to get the words out. I remove my hand from my mouth once I am able to force the words out correctly.

"Yes, Kookie I will marry you." I say looking at him lovingly.

He takes the ring and places it on my ring finger after gets up then takes me in his hold and lifts me up and kisses me spinning around once before setting me back on the ground as we reluctantly pull away from each other.

"I know I've already said this but you are everything to me." He says as his love for me pours off him enveloping me in a warm hug.

"I love you Kookie."

"I love you too Taebear."
