"Yoongiiiiii!" I cried as my best friend picked up his phone on my third attempt to call him.

"Kook? What's up?! I've been with a client! Are you dying? Sick? Injured?"

"No, none of that." I admitted, hearing Yoongi sigh on the other line.

"Thank God. You had me worried, Kook. Now, what has you so eager to talk to me."

"He said yes. Taehyung agreed to be my boyfriend!"

"That's what you're wildin' on about?" Yoongi grumbled.

A pout formed on my lips at my best friend's tone. "You're supposed to be happy for me."

Yoongi took a breath, his tone relaxing slightly. "I am. I really am so happy for you, Kook. I know how crazy you are about Taehyung, I just... I'm worried about what happened last time."

"Look. Just because my last relationship ended up with me overdosing and having to be reminded of the memories of the month prior to overdosing doesn't mean it'll happen again. I hit my one year mark. I feel great!"

Yoongi was still obviously unsettled. "I don't know, Kook. You're my best friend and I've known you for years. I'm allowed to be worried, I think."

Now it was my turn to sigh and nod, despite Yoongi not being able to see me. "I know, and I appreciate your worry and I appreciate you, Yoongs. You'll always be my soul mate, okay?"

"Don't tell Hobi that," Yoongi chuckled, making myself laugh with him.

"I love you, Yoongi," I said with a soft smile.

"I love you, Baby Koo."

"Oh God, that nickname again?"

Yoongi snickered. "You're blushing, aren't you?"

"Maybe I am. Maybe I'm not."

"Sign here, here, and here," the lawyer said while pointing to the lines I need to sign on the paperwork.

The pen in my hand scribbled on the lines for what felt like an hour until the attorney finally gave a small nod.

"That's it, Mister Jeon. All of the paperwork is completed." He reached into his briefcase and handed me a small envelope. "Here is the envelope with the bank information to receive your inheritance. Congratulations."

I smiled as I held the envelope against my chest. I did it. I sobered up and made it a year. I earned my inheritance. I worked hard, and I made it.

As I exited the building, my boyfriend smiled at me from where he stood next to my car.

"Is it done?" He asked with raised eyebrows.

I nodded, showing him the envelope proudly. "It's mine. I did it."

Taehyung squealed and hugged me. "I'm so so so proud of you, Kookie! You worked so hard and you did it!" He pressed his lips against my cheek.

"Taeee you're making me blush."

My boyfriend pulled away with a shy look on his face. "I'm sorry, I'm just so proud of you I can't control my emotions."

I gave a soft chuckle and ruffled his hair. "I know, baby. And that'll be me to you when you hit the year mark."

His eyes met mine as they sparkled, showing all the galaxies in the universe in the small space of his irises.
