Melancholy

No one

(The kitchen buzzed with activity as Jungkook continued with his chores, and the air was thick with anticipation. Suddenly, the door swung open dramatically, revealing a figure with an air of confidence. Kim Taehyung, known for his charismatic persona, entered the room with a smirk.)

Taehyung: (flashing a charming smile) Well, well, look who we have here. The diligent housekeeper and the hardworking Cinderella.

(Jungkook, startled by Taehyung's sudden entrance, looked up, a bit confused. Jimin, on the other hand, greeted his friend with a warm smile.)

Jimin: Taehyung! What brings you here so early?

Taehyung: (mockingly) Oh, you know, just thought I'd drop by and witness the magic happening in this haunted kitchen.

(Jimin rolled his eyes, used to Taehyung's teasing. However, he noticed Jungkook's discomfort and stepped forward.)

Jimin: Taehyung, this is Jungkook, my little brother. He helps around the house.

Taehyung: (looking Jungkook up and down) Oh, him? I never knew you had a brother. And by the looks of it, I thought he was the maid.

(Mrs. Jeon, who had overheard the conversation, couldn't resist chiming in.)

Mrs. Jeon: (smirking) That's exactly what he is, just a maid we adopted out of pity.A fucking useless piece of shit that no one wants in this household.

(Tears welled up in Jungkook's eyes, but before he could react, Jimin stepped in with unwavering support.)

Jimin: (firmly) No, Taehyung, he's not just a maid. Jungkook is our family.My little one.

Taehyung: (raising an eyebrow) Family? I must have missed the memo.Don't you feel ashamed of calling him as your family Jimin?

Jimin: (defiantly) Well, why should I be ashamed if i have such a cute and understanding brother ?And by the way, you're here early. Anything urgent?

Taehyung: (leaning against the counter) Business, as usual. But meeting the infamous useless Jungkook adds a new flavor to the day.

(Jungkook, trying to hide his emotions, continued with his chores, feeling the weight of the judgmental gazes.He always blamed himself for his poor fate.His prayers were always left unheard by the gods)

Mrs. Jeon: (mockingly) Jimin, you should teach your brother some manners. He doesn't even know how to dress properly.

(Jungkook bit his lip, holding back tears, but Jimin couldn't tolerate the insults hurled at his brother.)

Jimin: (angry) Enough eomma! Jungkook is more than his appearance. He's kind, hardworking, and he means the world to me.You can't simply insult him just because he is silent.

(Taehyung, witnessing the exchange, couldn't ignore the genuine emotions in Jungkook's pretty doe eyes. Despite his initial mockery, something in him stirred seeing the pretty boy's small lips wobble.)

Taehyung: (softening) Well, I never knew you had such a dramatic household, Jimin. Anyway, I'll be on my way. Don't want to disturb the maid's work too much.

(As Taehyung left, Jungkook tried to compose himself, but his trembling hands betrayed the hurt he felt.Jungkook cried his heart out as the people left. Taehyung, however, found himself unable to shake off the image of Jungkook's shiny doe eyes, leaving him in deep contemplation as he exited the kitchen, leaving behind a mix of tension and unspoken emotions.)
