Fated hearts ( taekook ff )

chapter 28

Yoongi walks in, surprised to see Jungkook and Taehyung sitting on the couch with Jimin. He raises an eyebrow, noticing the tension in the air.

Yoongi:what a surprise. What brings you two here?"

Jimin:"Their house is under renovation, so they needed a place to stay for a while. I figured it would be easier if they crashed here."

Yoongi's eyes narrow slightly, suspicion flickering across his face.

Yoongi:"Oh, is that so?"

Jungkook, sensing the tension, decides to change the subject.

Jungkook:"How's Mom, hyung?"

Yoongi:"She's stable. The doctors said she just needs a few more check-ups, and they'll discharge her in three to four days."

Jimin:"Hyung, you seem exhausted. You should get some rest."

Yoongi: Yeah, you're right. But before that—Jungkook, can you come with me for a minute? I need to ask you something."

Jungkook hesitates but then nods, following Yoongi into a room.

Jungkook: nervously "Yes, hyung?"

Yoongi: serious tone "Is everything okay?"

Jungkook: swallowing hard "Y-Yeah, everything's fine."

Yoongi:"Jungkook, you know I don't like being lied to. What are you hiding from me?"

Jungkook:"Hyung, it's just... it's nothing."

Yoongi:"You know you can't fool me. Spill it. What's going on?"

Jungkook takes a deep breath, realizing he can't hide the truth any longer.

Jungkook: voice trembling "Hyung... they sold our house. We're... we're homeless now."

Yoongi:"I had a feeling something was off. People who are greedy for property don't just leave you in peace. The whole 'renovation' story didn't add up."

Jungkook:(ashamed)"I'm sorry, hyung. We didn't know what else to do."

Yoongi:"We'll figure something out. You're not alone in this, ok

Jungkook: "Thanks, hyung. You should rest. I'll head out now."

Jimin: "You can take a room next to ours if you need to stay."

Taehyung: "Thanks, Jimin."

Jimin: "Hey, Jungkook, come sit here. What were you guys talking about?"

Jungkook: "It's nothing serious, just talking about my mom's condition."

Jimin: "Oh, I see. By the way, I have a question, if you don't mind."

Taehyung: "Sure, go ahead."

Jimin: "Did you two... you know, did it?"

Jungkook: "Huh? Did what?"

Jimin: "I know it's a forced marriage, but you're both hot and handsome. Anyone would melt."

Taehyung: "What are you talking about? I don't get it."

Jimin: "I'm talking about what couples do... Have you two slept together?"

Taehyung: Yeah, what's the big deal?

Jimin:(annoyed)Oh my god save me, how can you be so clueless?

(smacks Taehyung's head)

Jimin : You idiot! I was asking if you've had sex.

Jungkook and Taehyung exchange a quick glance before looking away, a deep crimson blush spreading across their cheeks.

Jungkook: "We... um..."

Taehyung: (Clearing his throat) Jimin, could I get some water, please?

Jimin: "Okay, I can see you don't want to answer right now. I'll let it slide this time, but next time, I won't let you off the hook so easily!"

Jungkook: "S-sometimes I... I forget that we are married. I was wondering if you might be interested in... well, if maybe you'd like to?"

Taehyung: (nervously) "It's not compulsory or anything. I never really thought about it, but... I think I...i might like it

They make eye contact for a moment, the air charged with unspoken possibilities.Jungkook's breath hitches at Taehyung's words, and he feels a flutter of butterflies in his stomach.

Taehyung: "But we can take it step by step. Right now, we're just at the friend stage."

Jungkook: "Y-Yeah."
