The atmosphere in the mansion was still buzzing with excitement after Jungkook and Bella's big announcement. As laughter and chatter filled the room, Ariana felt a warm glow of happiness for her sister and her brother-in-law. Sitting comfortably next to Tae, who had his arm draped around her, she couldn’t help but think about how much had changed for them all.

Amidst the conversation, Ariana decided to voice a question that had been lingering in her mind. With a playful smirk, she turned towards Jungkook and Bella. "So, now that you two are expecting, when’s the wedding? Are you planning to get married anytime soon?"

Bella’s eyes sparkled with excitement at the mention of a wedding. "Well, actually," she started, her voice teasingly low, "we were thinking about tying the knot next month."

Ariana’s eyebrows shot up in surprise. "Next month? Really? That’s soon!" she exclaimed, her heart racing at the thought. "What brought this on?"

Jungkook, who was sitting beside Bella, interlaced their fingers. He looked at her with pride before answering. "We’ve been talking about it for a while now. After everything that’s happened, we just realized that we want to solidify our family in every way possible."

Bella nodded, her expression turning serious. "And I want to make it official before the baby arrives. Plus, I have my promise ring now, and it just feels right."

Ariana’s gaze flickered to the delicate ring adorning Bella’s finger, shining brilliantly under the soft light. It was a beautiful piece, simple yet elegant, and it symbolized everything Jungkook and Bella had fought for. "I love it! It’s perfect," Ariana said, her voice filled with warmth.

Tae, who had been listening intently, chimed in with a teasing tone, "So you’re telling us we’ll have a wedding to plan in a month? I hope you know what you’re getting yourselves into."

Jungkook laughed, rolling his eyes playfully. "Don’t remind me. I’m still trying to figure out how to make it through this one."

Bella grinned, clearly enjoying the banter. "I’m sure you’ll manage. After all, you’ve survived my demands so far. How hard could a wedding be?"

"Famous last words," Tae remarked, giving Ariana a knowing look.

Ariana giggled at the exchange. "I can help! I’ve always wanted to be part of a wedding planning process."

Bella’s eyes lit up at Ariana’s offer. "Really? That would be amazing! I could use all the help I can get."

Jungkook gave a mock sigh, feigning despair. "Great, now I have to deal with two wedding planners."

Ariana nudged him playfully. "Oh, come on! You’re going to love it, and besides, it’s your wedding too. You should have a say in it."

"Just remember, I want it to be a little more low-key," Jungkook replied, looking serious for a moment. "I want it to be about us and our family."

Bella smiled softly at him, clearly touched by his sentiment. "I want that too. It’s about us, and our journey together. But I also want it to be special, something we can remember forever."

Tae glanced at Ariana, a hint of admiration in his eyes. "It’s nice to see you both so committed to each other. You’ve fought through a lot, and this is a beautiful step."

"Exactly," Ariana added, feeling proud of her sister and Jungkook. "You both deserve this happiness."

Bella reached over to squeeze Ariana’s hand. "Thank you. That means a lot coming from you."

Ariana smiled back, feeling a rush of warmth from the connection they shared as sisters. "I can’t wait to see you both as a family. It’s going to be amazing."

Tae, noticing the sisterly moment, leaned in and kissed Ariana’s temple, causing her to blush slightly. He then added, "And I promise to do whatever I can to help you two out with the wedding planning too."

Jungkook smirked, his protective side surfacing again. "Just as long as you don’t make it all about you and Ariana’s bakery."

"Hey! I’ll have you know, our bakery can be a part of the wedding," Ariana shot back with a teasing glint in her eyes.

"Absolutely," Tae agreed, an enthusiastic smile spreading across his face. "We’ll have the best wedding cake ever."

Jungkook chuckled, shaking his head at their antics. "Alright, alright. Just remember it’s my wedding too."

As the banter continued, Ariana felt a sense of belonging wash over her. She was grateful for this moment, surrounded by family and friends, the love evident in every laugh and smile. She felt especially blessed to have Tae by her side, his unwavering support giving her the courage to move forward.

"Okay, so let’s talk details!" Bella exclaimed, breaking Ariana from her thoughts. "We need to discuss colors, themes, and all that fun stuff."

With that, the atmosphere shifted, turning into a creative brainstorming session. Ariana felt her excitement grow as she jotted down ideas, her mind racing with possibilities. She was more than ready to dive into the planning process, knowing it would be a wonderful adventure alongside her sister.

As the discussions flowed, Ariana couldn’t help but glance at Tae, who was watching her with a soft smile on his face. It warmed her heart to see how invested he was in her happiness, and in turn, it made her more excited about the future they would build together.

After all, love was blossoming all around them, and in that moment, Ariana felt that anything was possible.
