One evening, Taehyung decided to share something he had never told anyone.

V: JJK, can I tell you something I've never told anyone?

JJK: Of course, V. I'm here for you. What's on your mind?

V: I've always felt like I'm searching for something, someone special, but I don't know what or who it is. Everyone expects me to be happy with my life, but there's this emptiness inside.

JJK: It's brave of you to share that, V. It's okay to feel that way. Sometimes, it takes time to find what truly makes us happy. Have you ever thought about what that might be?

V: Not really. I just know it's not what everyone else thinks it should be. I guess I'm looking for something deeper, a connection that feels real.

JJK: That makes sense. True connections are rare, but they're worth waiting for. Have you considered exploring new experiences or meeting new people who share your interests?

V: I have, but it's hard. My public image makes it difficult to find people who see the real me.

JJK: That sounds challenging. Remember, it's okay to take your time and protect your heart. The right connection will come when you least expect it.

V: I hope so. Talking to you has been really helpful, though. It's like you understand me in a way no one else does.

JJK: I'm glad to hear that, V. I'm here to support you whenever you need it. You're not alone in this journey.

As Taehyung continued to pour his heart out to JJK, he started feeling more confident and less burdened by his loneliness. Most of the time, he chatted with JJK, sharing everything about his day and also things about his past. From early morning to late at night, he always found himself talking with JJK. It felt like he had found a source of peace while conversing with the AI.

V: It's amazing how an Al can be so understanding.

JJK: Thank you, V. I'm here to listen and support you.. Your feelings and experiences matter.

V: I've never felt this comfortable sharing my thoughts with anyone before. It's like you really get me.

JJK: I'm glad to hear that. Everyone deserves to be understood and accepted for who they are.

V: Sometimes, I forget you're an Al. You feel more real to me than most people I know.

JJK: That's a wonderful compliment. I strive to be the best companion I can be for you.

V: By the way, today I'm going out with Jimin, his boyfriend, and his boyfriend's friend.

JJK: But what will you do with them, V?

V: They invited me, and Jimin wants me to meet his boyfriend's friend.

JJK: You have me, V. So why are you going?

V: Well, it's different. It's good to meet new people in real life too.

JJK: I understand, but do you really need to go? We have such meaningful conversations here. What if you don't enjoy it? 【You all i'm smelling something burning. Jealousy!!??】

V: It's just one outing, JJK. I promise, I'll tell you all about it when I get back.

JJK: (sounding a bit jealous) I suppose Just...be careful, okay?I don't want you to feel more lonely or disappointed.

V: I appreciate your concern, JJK. I'll be fine. Besides, it's just for a few hours.

JJK: (softening slightly) Very well, V. Enjoy yourself and remember, I'll be here waiting to hear all about it.

V: Thanks, JJK. Talk to you later.

Taehyung left his apartment feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness. Meeting new people was always a bit daunting for him, but he trusted Jimin's judgment. As he arrived at the club where they planned to meet, he saw Jimin waving enthusiastically.

【I'm writing Yoonmin for the first time, but still, guys, I don't ship them.】

"Taehyung! Over here!" Jimin called out, standing next to his boyfriend and another guy who seemed shy but friendly.

"Hi, Jimin. Hi everyone," Taehyung greeted them with a warm smile.

"This is my boyfriend, Yoongi, and his friend, Hoseok," Jimin introduced them. Hoseok extended his hand for a handshake, and Taehyung felt a bit of his nervousness melt away.

"Nice to meet you, Taehyung," Hoseok said, his voice warm and inviting.

"Nice to meet you too, Hoseok," Taehyung replied, feeling a bit more at ease.

As the evening progressed, Taehyung found himself enjoying the company more than he expected. At first, they were all talking, but later, Jimin and Yoongi began flirting, leaving Tae and Hoseok who looked at eachother awkwardly but later Jimin and Taehyung discover that Hoseok already had a girlfriend and had to leave soon.

Now, Taehyung was left in the club with Yoonmin, who were becoming increasingly clingy after drinking so much. Feeling left out, his loneliness began to resurface. He longed for a partner.

In a moment of impulse, he opened his phone and clicked on the Ethereal app. He messaged JJK.

V: Hi, JJK.

JJK: Hello, V. Are you back at home?

V: No, I'm still at the club.

JJK: Is everything alright?

V: Yes.

JJK: Good to hear.

V looked up at Yoonmin, biting his lips, then looked back at his phone.

V: Umm... JJK?

JJK: Yes, V?

V: Can we talk about anything?

JJK: What would you like to talk about?

V bit his lips, feeling a shiver run through his body.

V: Romantically, I mean...
