Weeks had passed since Taehyung's heart-wrenching confession to Namjoon. The city had moved on, the rhythm of life continuing its relentless pace. Amidst the chaos, Taehyung found solace in the friendships he had nurtured over time. Namjoon and his other friends, his confidante, stood by his side, encouraging him on the path of redemption.

It was an evening, as the sun dipped below the horizon, Taehyung found himself back on the rooftop bar.

The place held memories of joy and pain, a testament to his journey of growth. He stared out at the city lights, his thoughts consumed by the past and the uncertain future.

"Taehyung."

The voice was soft, like a gentle breeze that carried a weight of memories.

He turned, his heart skipping a beat as he locked eyes with Jungkook, standing at a distance.

"Jung- Jungkook," he breathed, his voice a mix of surprise and uncertainty.

he approached him, his gaze searching others. "Can we talk?"

Taehyung nodded, a flurry of emotions swirling within him. They found a secluded corner of the rooftop, a space that seemed to hold the echoes of their past interactions.

"I've been thinking a lot," younger began, his voice steady yet tinged with vulnerability. "About us, about what happened."

Taehyung's heart raced, his eyes never leaving his face. "Jungkook, I never meant to hurt you. I never knew who you were, what connection you had to Jimin."

he nodded, his expression softening. "I know that now. And I've come to realize that revenge isn't the answer. It doesn't heal wounds, it just perpetuates the cycle of pain."

His heart ached as he listened to Jungkook's words, the sincerity in his voice undeniable. " What are you saying?"

Younger took a deep breath, his gaze locking onto his with unwavering determination. "I'm saying that I want to give us a chance. A chance to see if there's something real between us, beyond the revenge and the past."

Taehyung's mind whirred, his heart torn between caution and hope. "Jungg--Kook, I don't even know if I'm capable of having a healthy relationship. I've hurt so many people."

Jungkook's hand reached out to touch his, his touch grounding him in the present. "Taehyung, we've all made mistakes. What matters is how we learn and grow from them. I've seen a change in you, a genuine effort to become better."

The brunet met his gaze, his voice a whisper. "I want to change, Jungkook. I want to be a better person, not just for you, but for myself."

Younger's smile was both tender and hopeful. "Then let's take this one step at a time. Let's see where our journey takes us, without expectations or preconceived notions."

As they stood there, facing each other with open hearts, Taehyung felt a surge of emotions he couldn't quite put into words.

The journey ahead was unpredictable, a winding path that held both challenges and possibilities. But for the first time in a long while, he felt a glimmer of hope—a hope that love could truly emerge from the ashes of a cheater's game.

And as the city lights continued to shimmer around them, Taehyung and Jungkook embarked on an uncertain yet thrilling adventure, ready to explore the depths of their feelings and the possibilities of an unexpected love.
