the car pulled up to their apartment. misun's hand was tucked in jihoon's as they stepped out.

"ready to see them?" he asked, grinning.

she nodded, her heart fluttering. "i'm nervous... but excited."

they walked in, the seventeen members already inside, waiting for them.

"hey! you two!" seungcheol exclaimed, eyes wide. "what's the big news?"

"yes, please! we're dying to know!" dino whined.

jihoon squeezed misun's hand and smiled. "we have something to tell you."

misun took a deep breath. "jihoon... he proposed."

there was a pause, then the room erupted in cheers.

"finally!" hoshi yelled. "we've been waiting forever!"

mingyu laughed, clapping his hands. "i knew it would happen, woozi!"

seungkwan grabbed jihoon's shoulder. "congratulations, man! she's amazing, woozi, don't ever let her go!"

seokmin looked at misun, grinning mischievously. "hey... if woozi ever hurts you, just give me a call. i'll take care of him."

misun laughed through her tears. "thank you, seokmin... i'll keep that in mind."

jeonghan raised his eyebrows. "well, it's about time. she's perfect for you!"

joshua smiled warmly at her. "i'm so happy for you, misun. woozi's lucky."

jun playfully nudged jihoon. "better not mess this up, man."

vernon smiled. "take care of her, hyung."

minghao clapped, eyes sparkling. "i can't wait to celebrate with you both!"

wonwoo laughed softly. "she's been amazing for you, woozi. treat her right."

jihoon himself, standing shyly beside misun, whispered, "thank you, everyone... for everything."

they all crowded around, hugging them, teasing, laughing, and sharing stories of the past. misun felt a warmth in her chest, surrounded by people who had seen them grow together, who genuinely loved and supported them.

she looked at jihoon, squeezing his hand. "thank you," she whispered.

"for what?" he asked softly.

"for... everything," she said, voice trembling with happiness.

he kissed the top of her hand. "always, baby. always."

mingyu yelled, "scary woozi is now helpless in love!"

jihoon laughed, slightly embarrassed but holding misun close.

"i could never give up on her," he whispered to her.

"i know," she said softly, leaning against him. "and i could never give up on you either."

the members cheered again, and for the first time in years, misun felt completely surrounded by love, laughter, and warmth—a perfect celebration for a love that had survived everything.
