Chapter 40 - Rain

Before you start reading, I just wanted to ask.

When was the last time you danced under the rain?

To my future husband...I hope we dance under the rain one day. Lol.

Taehyung giggled softly as he and Jungkook strolled along the garden path outside the mansion. The moonlight bathed everything in a soft, ethereal glow, and the cool night air carried the faint scent of jasmine from the nearby bushes. They had escaped the noise of the party inside, seeking the tranquility of the outdoors. The rhythmic sound of their footsteps on the gravel path provided a soothing background as they walked side by side, fingers loosely intertwined.

Jungkook glanced at Taehyung, a content smile playing on his lips. "I missed moments like this," he admitted, his voice gentle. "Just the two of us, away from everything, talking about anything and everything."

Taehyung smiled, squeezing Jungkook's hand. "Me too. It's been too long since we just had a quiet moment like this."

The distant sounds of laughter and music from the party echoed faintly as they continued their walk. Jungkook had noticed the weariness in Taehyung's eyes earlier and had suggested they step out for some fresh air. Taehyung had readily agreed, and now they found themselves wandering the garden, enjoying the peaceful atmosphere.

Jungkook slowed his pace, turning to face Taehyung with a thoughtful expression. "So, Tae, have you thought about what you want to do next? Your career has been on hold for a while."

Taehyung's eyes sparkled with a mix of excitement and uncertainty as he looked up at the sky. "I've been thinking about it a lot," he confessed. "I miss the runway, the thrill of modeling. I want to get back into it. It's funny, I never thought I'd miss it so much."

Jungkook's eyes lit up with enthusiasm. "That's amazing! Have you made any plans yet?"

Taehyung nodded, his steps growing more confident. "I plan to contact Mrs. Choi tomorrow. She's been handling everything while I was away. I want to discuss the next steps with her and see how we can start planning my return."

Jungkook's smile widened, and he stopped walking, gently tugging Taehyung to a halt as well. "That's great. I wanted to ask you something else too..."

Jungkook hesitated, his gaze shifting from the moonlit garden to Taehyung's curious eyes. He took a deep breath, gathering his thoughts. To think that he, an entrepreneur who built an empire from the ground up, was nervous under Taehyung's soft, hazel gaze was almost laughable.

Taehyung noticed the change in Jungkook's demeanor and turned to face him fully, giving him his undivided attention. "Ask away," he said softly.

Jungkook's voice held a mix of excitement and nerves as he began, "As you know, my company is launching a new jewelry line next month. We've been working on it for a while, and it's finally ready to debut."

Taehyung's eyes lit up with interest. "That sounds incredible, Jungkook. What's the line about?"

Jungkook's smile grew as he continued, "It's a collection inspired by the beauty of nature and the stars-something elegant and timeless. But what I wanted to ask you is if you would be the brand ambassador for it."

Taehyung blinked in surprise, his heart skipping a beat at the unexpected offer. "You want me to be the face of your new jewelry line?"

"Yes," Jungkook confirmed, his eyes filled with hope. "I've seen how you bring life and elegance to everything you do. I believe you'd be the perfect representation for this collection. It would mean a lot to me, and I think it would be a fantastic opportunity for you too."
