Destined

Confession Times Two

Mrs. Jeon's PoV

The boy suddenly looks so calm and grown up that I can't believe my eyes. Taetae has always been treated as Bangtan's baby. I'm not used to seeing him like this. Even my son treats him like he's younger most times. The said son is looking bewildered with this turn of events. I can understand his predicament. He thinks his boyfriend is going to royally mess this up.

Honestly, I'm cracking up inside. But I really can't laugh at them like ho ho ho you idiots, you will be laughing at this situation a few years from now. They'll definitely disown me if I do that now. Yeah got to keep up with the serious face.

My son has been asked to leave the room and he refuses to budge. Stubborn like his dad this one is. I pushed him away. I know he's going to stand outside the door and listen in on the conversation. Though he really shouldn't. But neither the dad listens to me, nor the son. I've given up. It's Taehyung's bad luck that he's ending up with my husband's twin.

We sat down on our couch. Taetae chose to sit on the floor in front of us. He's making this look so serious. This child. Have I mentioned that I love him? I do. He is the most precious, genuine little human I have come across in a while. If he knew how much we adore him, he wouldn't do this. But now I'm intrigued.

Come on, you cannot blame me. I have literally watched them grow up in front of me. This whole aura of grown-up seriousness is making me feel so weird!

Okay, the boy's speaking, his eyes glued to his lap. I'm all ears.

Taehyung's Monologue

Umm... I know this is overwhelming for you and I also want you to know that I am very nervous. But you've seen me grow up in front of you. You know me almost as well as my own family, And so you know my best bet is honesty. So I'm going to be really honest here. I hope you will understand me.

You know the kind of family I come from, and you know the kind of work I do. So I won't be talking about that. What I want to tell you is very simple, I really love your son. And it wasn't a choice that I made. It happened. I don't know how.

If you would trust me, I won't be afraid to tell you that it would have been so much easier for me if I fell for a woman. There would be lesser things to worry about. There would be lesser obstacles. I know that there are countless families who would love to set their daughters up with a member from a globally successful boy band. Kookie knows too.

I fell for him despite knowing the easy route. Despite knowing that it's going to be tougher, and sometimes extremely frustrating. I fell for him like it was what I was born for. When I first saw him, I felt the strangest attraction. I was a child too. But my heart knew he was special. He would be an important person in my life. My heart knew. Since that day onwards I just wanted Jungkookie to be part of my life, anyhow. I am so lucky that he did not push me away. He reciprocated my friendship. He makes me feel worthy.

If he didn't reject the other companies, if I didn't accompany my friend to the audition that day, I believe very strongly that we would have still met. We're destined to be together. It was meant to be. That's why it worked out the way it did, I believe he is my destiny more than I have ever believed in anything else.

So while I waited for him to fall in love with me, I was never unhappy. Because my heart kept saying it will happen one day. I restrained my emotions a lot, because five other careers and lives, and the lives of all our families are tied to our actions, but trust me, I knew when the day would come, you all would understand. Our people would stand by us. Because my heart feels that Jungkook and Taehyung are supposed to be together.

I may sound very immature and childish, but this is the faith that has helped me carry on for so many years since I discovered that Kookie is not just my friend. He... I cannot put a label on him.

So please, trust me when I say that I will always cherish him. I will do whatever I can to not hurt him ever. But I know we will sometimes fight and end up hurting each other. What I can assure you is that I will try with all I have to keep him happy, and to make up for all the fights we end up having. Every day, I will love him a little more than the day before.

This is hard for you too, I know. And I just wanted to tell you that I am with you on this journey. Because as far as I am concerned, we are all team Jungkook.
