13- The Book of Unspoken Plans

Jungkook found himself once again amidst the festivities of a wedding, though this time, the scene was distinctly different. The ambiance was elegant yet understated, and the atmosphere hummed with a sense of organized calm. The wedding planner, as Jungkook soon learned, was none other than Taehyung.

Taehyung, in a meticulously tailored suit, was absorbed in his work. He was seated at a table, his focus intent on scribbling notes in a leather-bound book. Every now and then, Taehyung would glance up from his book, his eyes scanning the surroundings with a practiced efficiency.

On one of these occasions, Taehyung's gaze met Jungkook's. For a fleeting moment, Jungkook noticed a depth of emotion in Taehyung's eyes that seemed to hint at sadness, a stark contrast to his otherwise composed demeanor. It was a brief yet poignant glance that left Jungkook with an inexplicable sense of concern.

Before Jungkook could ponder the meaning behind that look, Taehyung's father approached him. The older man, wearing an expression of discontent, engaged Taehyung in a brief but intense conversation. Taehyung's face, initially calm, began to show signs of frustration as he disagreed with his father's insistence.

The disagreement seemed to grow more heated, and after a moment, Taehyung's father let out a heavy sigh. With a resigned expression, he grabbed Taehyung by the arm and began to drag him away from the busy wedding scene. Taehyung, though initially resistant, eventually followed, casting one last glance back at Jungkook before disappearing from view.

As Taehyung was pulled away by his father, Jungkook noticed something fall from the table—a leather-bound book that slipped from Taehyung's grasp. It landed with a soft thud on the polished floor, its pages slightly splayed open.

Jungkook walked over to where the book had fallen. He knelt down, picked it up carefully, and brushed off a few specks of dust from its cover. The book felt surprisingly heavy in his hands, a testament to the weight of the meticulous planning and notes it likely contained.

He glanced around, hoping to see Taehyung returning to retrieve it. However, Taehyung and his father had disappeared into the crowd, and there was no sign of them coming back anytime soon. The wedding continued in full swing, with guests mingling and enjoying the festivities.

Jungkook, feeling a sense of quiet responsibility, tucked the book under his arm and began to search for a place where he could leave it safely, perhaps near the planner's workspace. After a brief scan of the surroundings and finding no suitable place to leave the book, he decided to hold onto it until he could find Taehyung or someone who could ensure it was returned to him. With that resolve, he made his way through the bustling venue, the book securely in hand, searching for an opportunity to return it.
