The next day, Taehyung met Bogum for lunch at their favorite diner. Bogum, noticing Taehyung's somber demeanor, dove straight into conversation.
Bogum: "You seemed off yesterday, Tae. Everything alright?"
Taehyung hesitated, contemplating whether to divulge the truth. "Yeah, just... some things on my mind."
Their conversation paused as Jungkook joined them unexpectedly, his expression a mix of determination and concern. Taehyung's pulse quickened at the unexpected turn.
Jungkook: "We need to talk, Dad."
Bogum glanced between Taehyung and Jungkook, sensing the tension. "What's going on, Kook?"
Jungkook shot a quick glance at Taehyung before speaking. "Dad, Taehyung and I... there's something we haven't told you."
Taehyung's heart pounded in his chest as the weight of the impending revelation hung in the air. Bogum's confusion was palpable.
Bogum: "What is it, guys?"
Jungkook hesitated, exchanging a knowing glance with Taehyung, who nodded subtly. "We're together, Dad. Taehyung and I love eachother..... romantically ."
The diner fell silent, the revelation hanging heavily between them. Bogum's stunned expression shifted from disbelief to a mix of emotions Taehyung couldn't decipher.
Bogum: "I... I don't know what to say."
Jungkook: "We wanted to tell you, Dad. It's been eating us up."
In the tense aftermath of Jungkook revealing their relationship to Bogum, a heavy silence enveloped the trio. Taehyung's heart raced with a whirlwind of emotions, his eyes flickering between Jungkook and Bogum, unsure of what the next moments would hold.
"Kook, why?" Taehyung's voice trembled, a mix of fear and uncertainty clouding his features.
Jungkook met Taehyung's gaze, his eyes brimming with regret yet steadfast determination. "Tae, I couldn't keep lying to him. He deserved to know the truth, He is my father for fuck's sake" he explained, a touch of sorrow in his voice.
Bogum's expression wavered between disbelief and hurt, his gaze shifting from Jungkook to Taehyung. "How long?" His voice quivered with an unspoken plea for clarity.
"Bogum, it started a while after my divorce. We grew closer, and feelings developed over time, You remember asking me to take care of Kook often after my divorce. I know you wanted me to adopt a kid because you thought kook would invive the fatherly emotions in me. And me I was with him because I thought so that maybe it will make me want a kid but ..... But I .... I fell in love Bogum in love with your child not as a father loves a child but .... But as a guy loves his better half ..... his husband. And I know it's wrong but I'm sorry... And I never intended it to happen but it happened. Bogummie , I'm.... I'm sorry" Taehyung confessed, his voice tinged with regret. "I never intended to hurt you."
Jungkook's eyes softened as he turned to Taehyung, his voice carrying a vulnerable honesty. "I've loved Tae for as long as I can remember, even when I was just a kid," he admitted, his gaze fixed on Taehyung, brimming with unwavering affection.
Taehyung's breath hitched, stunned by Jungkook's revelation. A mixture of surprise and warmth flickered across his face, a hint of a smile forming at the corner of his lips despite the gravity of the situation. His gaze met Jungkook's, a silent acknowledgment passing between them.
Bogum's expression softened momentarily as he processed the intricate layers of their connection. The revelation unveiled a story far more complex than he had imagined, intertwining the threads of past and present in an unexpected tapestry of emotions.
The atmosphere crackled with tension and uncertainty. Taehyung braced himself for Bogum's reaction, unsure of what would follow their confession.
Bogum's eyes darted between them, emotions swirling in his gaze. "I need some time to process this Taehyung."
As they parted ways, the weight of their confession lingered, the thrill of revelation intermingled with the suspense of Bogum's impending reaction. In that fleeting moment, amidst the tumult of conflicting emotions, Taehyung found solace in Jungkook's unwavering love, a revelation that stirred both astonishment and a faint glimmer of reassurance in his heart.
