It was your birthday, and your boyfriend had planned a sweet little surprise. Instead of a big cake, he brought over five cupcakes—just enough for the two of you to celebrate without going overboard. But what you didn’t know was that one of those cupcakes held more than just frosting and sprinkles.

As you both enjoyed the treats, you suddenly bit down on something hard. Frowning, you carefully pulled it from your mouth, your eyes widening in confusion.

"What… what is this?" you asked, staring at the small, shiny ring in your hand before looking up at your boyfriend.

With a playful grin, he lifted his hand, showing off his own matching ring. "A birthday present."

Your face lit up with excitement. "Couple rings!? No way!" You beamed, admiring the gift—completely unaware that something felt… off.

Your boyfriend’s smile slowly faded as his eyes locked onto your mouth.
