As usual jungkook went to pick up tae from school, his intuition immediately sensed something miss as he picked up Taehyung from school. The usually animated and carefree Tae now wore a heavy, sullen expression. Concern etched across Jungkook's face, he decided to wait until they were home to broach the subject.

As they settled into the living room, the atmosphere felt strained. Jungkook couldn't bear to see Tae like this, the vibrant energy replaced by a shadow of gloom.

"Tae, talk to me. What happened at school?"...he asked but other just denied it saying it's nothing and went inside their room, without listening to kook

Jungkook didn't let it go, he sat on the couch because he knew tae would be coming to him to tell what happened, so he didn't left immediately wherever he wanted to go and as he thought, tae came with different clothes but same sullen face, he sat on jungkook's lap resting his head on other's chest who frowned holding him and asked again softly...

''what happened tae?''...he carrased other's hand asking softly as much as he can .

"It's stupid, Kook. Just some guys picking on me''...tae hesitated, his eyes closed as he seek for the warmth that initiated from kook..

"It's not stupid if it's bothering you. Tell me''...kook, ever patient, gently nudged him to share..

"Bullies. They made fun of my torn shoes, said awful things. I tried to brush it off, but it got to me. I couldn't take it''...tae spoke up with a deep sigh...

"You don't have to go through this alone, Tae. I'm here for you''...Jungkook's jaw clenched in anger, but he tempered his response for Taehyung's sake, Pulling him into a comforting embrace, he murmured..

Tae hummed didn't left him who sat with him in a comforting hug leaning to the sofa, and not too long after both slept..

In the following days, Jungkook noticed the emotional toll the incident took on Taehyung. The laughter and playful banter were replaced by quiet moments of reflection. One evening, as they lounged in the dimly lit living room, Jungkook initiated the conversation.

"Tae, I can see this is still bothering you. You know you can always talk to me, right?"...he said

"I know, Kook. It's just hard to shake off their words''....Taehyung sighed, running a hand through his hair

"Tae, those bullies don't define you. Their words are meaningless. You're so much stronger than you think''... jungkook's eyes softened cupping his face

"Thanks, Kook. I just need time, I guess''...tae managed a small smile appreciating jungkook's unwavering support for him all the time..

"Take all the time you need, Tae. I'm here every step of the way''... jungkook said

Days turned into a week, and Jungkook noticed a subtle shift in Taehyung. The laughter returned, albeit cautiously, and their home echoed with a bit more light. Determined to lift Taehyung's spirits, Jungkook hatched a plan...

"Close your eyes, Tae''...One evening, as Taehyung lay on their bed, Jungkook entered with a mysterious grin..

Taehyung complied, his curiosity piqued. When he opened his eyes, a large box awaited him. Confusion painted his features as he looked at Jungkook for an explanation...

"What's all this, Kook?" Taehyung questioned...

"Open it and find out''..Jungkook's eyes sparkled with excitement.
