THE TERRITORIAL LOVER ( BEGINNING OF "DESERTED ME" )

Final episode

Jungkook gestured towards the luxury car, his voice firm yet inviting,
"Taetae, get inside."
But Taehyung stood his ground, pouting as he eyed the car skeptically. "In this?" he questioned, raising an eyebrow in playful defiance.

Jungkook leaned in closer, a teasing smile playing on his lips.
"Baby, you agreed to a drive. What were you expecting? For me to carry you and walk? I wouldn't mind,"
he whispered, his breath warm against Taehyung's ear.

Taehyung's eyes softened into what Jungkook called 'puppy eyes', and he murmured, " Jeonguk...."

"Yes, my prince? What is it now?" Jeonguk's voice was a gentle hum, filled with adoration.

With a mischievous glint in his eyes, Taehyung proposed,
"Let's hit the road pressed together on your Harley Davidson..."

Jeonguk's smile widened at the suggestion.
"I'm impressed. But what if we're caught by some paparazzi?"

"I don't mind. It's already midnight... Please?" Taehyung's plea was earnest.

"Fine, as you wish," Jeonguk conceded with a chuckle. He pulled out his phone and quickly arranged for the motorcycle to be brought to Yoongi's cottage.

"Are we just waiting here?"

"Only fifteen minutes more. Until then, let me fill every second with joy for you."

As they waited for the Harley to arrive, Jeonguk couldn't resist burying his face in the crook of Taehyung's neck, breathing in his scent while Yoongi stumbled upon them then, his voice laced with amusement and exasperation.

"Boys, please have mercy on me... Are you guys going somewhere?"

Taehyung turned towards him, excitement bubbling in his voice. "Hyung, we're going for a drive!"

Yoongi chuckled and pulled Jungkook aside for a private word.
"Kook, what's happening at home? A kid? Really?"

Jeonguk's expression darkened.
"I don't know, hyung... Home doesn't feel like our sweet place anymore. I feel suffocated there."

"Did you tell Tae?" Yoongi asked with concern.

Jeonguk shook his head. "I didn't... I don't know how to bring it up. Will he understand? Why would he?"

Yoongi pondered for a moment before speaking up. "Are you sure there are no other ways to get the documents?"

"She's shrewd, hyung. And with mom's support.... Even worst !  I've searched everywhere. If I don't agree to her terms, she'll destroy them and then I can't stop Wang," Jeonguk confessed.

Yoongi placed a reassuring hand on Jeonguk's shoulder.
"Whatever decision you make, I'm with you. Talk to Tae. Let's see how he reacts."

Meanwhile, Taehyung shouted into the air, feeling like an outsider to their problems. Yoongi quickly reassured him,
"You're definitely not an outsider, Taehyungssi. After Kook, you're my priority."

Taehyung's thoughts drifted to Jimin. "What about my Jimin hyung, isn't he your priority ! Hyung, can I talk to him please?"

Before Yoongi could respond, Jeonguk interjected firmly,
"Tae... NO!" He knew something Tae didn't – that Jimin harbored feelings for him.

Yoongi looked between them, sensing the tension but choosing to focus on the immediate issue at hand.
"It's okay... Tae, if you want to talk to him, that's fine by me... But it will only cause him more pain, which I don't want for him right now."

As Jack arrived with the Harley Davidson, Yoongi ushered them out. "Go on now... Be safe boys."

And with that final word from Yoongi, they set off into the night – two souls seeking solace on the open road.
