Taehyung chuckled, his eyes filled with warmth. “Aww, by the way, you’ve become more beautiful, kiddo,” he complimented Jungkook, whose smile faltered for a moment before being replaced by a playful glare.

“You called me beautiful and then called me kiddo?” Jungkook questioned, crossing his arms and pouting in mock indignation.

“Because you are—”

“I’m not a kiddo; you’re just too old, oldie,” Jungkook retorted, the mischievous glint in his eyes making Taehyung chuckle again.

“Maybe… because I’m already 35,” Taehyung replied, stepping back slightly and shrugging.

“And I’m already 21—an adult,” Jungkook declared, his tone suddenly serious, his posture straightening as if to emphasize his point.

“That’s great! Are you dating someone now? I mean, you’re so beautiful… Everyone must be dying to date you,” Taehyung remarked casually, though his eyes flickered away from Jungkook’s, betraying an underlying tension.

Jungkook tilted his head, narrowing his eyes slightly. “Are you dying to date me too? I mean, you said everyone, so…” His voice trailed off, his lips trembling slightly as he bit the corner nervously.

“Haha, nice joke, Jungkook,” Taehyung responded, a strained chuckle escaping his lips. He ruffled Jungkook’s hair in an attempt to deflect. “I mean, come on! You can’t love me; you’re too young for me, and moreover, I’m your uncle.”

Jungkook flinched slightly but masked it quickly, his tone sharper now. “Then why are you still single? Why don’t you date or marry someone your age? Why aren’t you finding someone who could love you like you want, who will love you more than me, uncle?” His voice carried a hint of frustration, his emotions betraying the words he tried to mask.

Taehyung’s playful demeanor faltered for a moment. He sighed deeply and finally met Jungkook’s gaze.

“Who said I don’t like or love someone?” he asked softly, the vulnerability in his voice catching Jungkook off guard.

Jungkook’s eyes widened slightly, his breath hitching. “Do you love someone?” His voice quivered, and with each word, he felt as though his heart was splintering.

“Yes, I do. I love him more than anything,” Taehyung confessed, his lips curving into a faint but bittersweet smile.

“He’s very lucky, you know?” Jungkook replied quickly, though his voice lacked its usual steadiness. He forced a smile, though the cracks in it were clear.

Taehyung’s smile softened. “Yeah, I’m thinking about confessing, but…” He hesitated, sighing as he rubbed the back of his neck, his uncertainty palpable.

“But what?” Jungkook prompted, his heart pounding with a mix of dread and anticipation.

“I don’t think it’s right,” Taehyung admitted, his shoulders slumping slightly. “And does he love me like I do?” The words were laced with doubt, the weight of unspoken feelings evident in his voice.

“Have you ever proposed to him?” Jungkook asked softly, his concern slipping through despite the ache in his chest. Taehyung shook his head slowly, his expression distant.

“Then why are you so sure he doesn’t love you? Maybe he loves you too. And what’s the problem?” Jungkook pressed, his voice carrying both hope and desperation.

Taehyung sighed again, his hands falling to his sides. “He’s younger than me,” he admitted, his tone quiet but conflicted.

Jungkook blinked, his head tilting slightly. “So, you’re into younger boys?” he teased lightly, though there was an edge to his words. “I mean, age doesn’t matter in love anyway.”

Taehyung looked at him seriously, his gaze intense. “Do you think age doesn’t matter?”

Jungkook nodded without hesitation, meeting his gaze firmly. “Not if it’s love.”

Taehyung hesitated, his lips parting slightly before he spoke. “Umm, Jungkook, would you like to date me—” His voice faltered, his eyes widening as he realized what he’d said. “N… no! I meant, would you like to date someone who’s older than you?” he corrected hastily, his cheeks tinged with embarrassment as he bit his lip.

Jungkook chuckled, the tension easing slightly. “Why not? I would love to date someone older than me if I love him. And, well, I’m into older people. I don’t mind,” he admitted with a warm smile, his eyes searching Taehyung’s for a reaction.

Taehyung exhaled in relief, nodding slowly. “That’s good. Maybe I have a chance with him,” he murmured under his breath, his words too soft for Jungkook to catch.

“By the way, Kim, who’s he?” Jungkook asked, his tone light but his heart heavy with unspoken emotions.

Taehyung smiled faintly, patting Jungkook’s head as if to deflect the question. “You’ll get to know soon, kiddo.”

Jungkook rolled his eyes, a playful groan escaping his lips. “Don’t ‘kiddo’ me again, you old weak man—”

Before Jungkook could finish his sentence, Taehyung moved swiftly, pinning him against the doorframe. His hands gripped Jungkook’s wrists firmly, holding them above his head as he leaned in, their faces inches apart.

Jungkook’s breath hitched, his heart hammering in his chest. The closeness between them was electrifying, the tension in the air thick and unrelenting.

“You don’t know what this old man can do with you, Princess,” Taehyung whispered, his deep voice low and deliberate, sending shivers down Jungkook’s spine.

“W… what are you doing, Uncle Kim?” Jungkook stammered, his voice trembling with both nervousness and anticipation.

“What am I doing, Princess?” Taehyung murmured, his fingers gently tilting Jungkook’s chin upward, forcing him to meet his intense gaze.

"Don't be so innocent, you fool, Jungkook. Be brave... four years ago, you were 17-year-old innocent pup; now you're 21. It's time to show your boldness," Jungkook's inner thoughts echoed in his mind.

He smirked before swiftly reversing their positions, pinning Taehyung against the doorframe. Jungkook's boldness surprised Taehyung, who watched him with wide eyes.

"I'm your uncle, Jungkookie. You're too young for me. I'm just a few years younger than your father," Taehyung protested weakly, his resistance faltering in the face of Jungkook's determination.

Jungkook chuckled before pressing his body against Taehyung's, eliciting a low groan from him. The heat between them intensified, their desire palpable in the air.

"Should I call you 'daddy' then?" Jungkook teased, his eyes filled with a mix of lust and affection, challenging Taehyung to embrace their undeniable attraction.
