CRIMSON LIES (TAEKOOK)

13.(JEONLOUS)

..
It was a peaceful evening at Taehyung's house, with everyone enjoying Grandma's homemade cookies. The warm, comforting aroma filled the air as Grandma cheerfully urged everyone to have more. Suddenly, another knock on the door broke the relaxed atmosphere.

Grandma: "Who's at the door? Go open it, Bear."

Taehyung, smiling, hopped up. "Certainly, I will!" he said, rushing to the door. Upon opening it, he found his cousin, Bogam, standing there.

"Hey, Taehyung!" Bogam greeted him with a wide smile.

"Hi, Bogam! What's up?" Taehyung asked as he stepped aside to let his cousin in.

"My phone was here when I left it. Is it okay if I grab it?" Bogam asked, eyes scanning the room.

"Of course, no problem!" Taehyung replied, gesturing for him to come inside. "Come on in."

As Bogam stepped inside, he greeted everyone with a friendly, "Hey, everybody! Everything alright?" He noticed Jungkook staring at him with a serious expression and raised an eyebrow.

Jungkook, with a cold look in his eyes, responded, "Oh, that's just Bogam Hyungie."

Bogam, confused, asked, "How do you know Jungkook?"

Jungkook smirked, "Well, apparently..."

But before Jungkook could finish, Bogam cut him off, asking bluntly, "Who are you?"

Jungkook, with a small chuckle, replied, "I'm the owner of this house."

Taehyung, with a grin, added, "Hyung, this is Jungkook."

Grandma, overhearing the conversation, piped up with a mischievous look, "Boyfriend, huh?"

Bogam blinked, clearly caught off guard. "Eh?"

Grandma, smirking, winked at him, "He's our Bear's boyfriend."

Bogam's eyes widened, and he smiled playfully. "Aww, good for you, baby. I'm glad for you, boyfriend," he teased.

Grandma, beaming, turned to Bogam. "Before you leave, have some cookies. They're fresh out of the oven!"

"Grandma, thank you," Bogam said, taking a bite of the cookies, his eyes widening in delight. "Your cookies are always the best."

Jungkook, grumbling, added, "These cookies are the best, don't need anyone else to tell her that."

Taehyung, watching Jungkook closely, raised an eyebrow. "Jungkook, are you okay?"

Jungkook, with a faint smile, simply replied, "I'm alright."

Jimin, teasing from the corner, called out, "It seems like someone's a little envious."

Taehyung, trying to suppress a laugh, whispered back, "Absolutely not! Jealous, Jungkook? That's hilarious."

Bogam, now holding his phone, turned back to Taehyung with a grateful expression. "Ah, I see! Thanks, Taehyung, you really saved me there. I would've been lost without it."

Jungkook, muttering under his breath, quipped, "Well, like the rest of us, you could always use a map."

Bogam chuckled, patting Jungkook on the back. "Well done, Jungkook," he joked, poking fun.

Jungkook, with a fake smile, responded, "That's funny."

"Um, Jungkook, I apologize," Bogam said, looking genuinely curious. "Do you and I have a problem?"

Jungkook raised an eyebrow, "Honestly, why would I have a problem with you? You're not all that special."

Bogam, clearly confused, asked, "What do you mean? Even so, I don't really know you that well."
