Namjoon: "I'll give you two some space. If you need anything, I'll be nearby."

Jungkook:"Thanks, hyung."

Namjoon walks away, leaving Taehyung and Jungkook to continue their conversation.

Taehyung and Jungkook stand facing each other

Taehyung: (concern) "Jungkook, how are you feeling? Are you okay? Are you still in pain?"

Jungkook:"I'm... I'm fine. The doctors said I'm healing well."

Taehyung: (nodding, still worried) "That's good to hear. I've been so worried about you. I couldn't stop thinking about how much you've been through."

Jungkook: (voice trembling) "But what about you? You've been suffering too... without me."

Taehyung: (taking a step closer) "Jungkook, what do you mean? I'm just glad you're okay. That's all that matters to me."

Jungkook: (starting to cry, his voice breaking) "No, it's not! You've been working yourself to the bone, doing everything alone while I was lying in that hospital bed! You were out there struggling, and I couldn't do anything to help you..."

Taehyung: (trying to comfort him) "Jungkook, you don't have to worry about that. I did what I had to do. I was just trying to make sure we'd be okay."

Jungkook: (crying harder, his voice full of guilt) "But you shouldn't have had to do it alone! I'm supposed to be with you, helping you, not lying there helpless! I hate that you had to suffer because of me... You shouldn't have to bear all of this alone. I should've been there with you. I'm so sorry... I'm so sorry I couldn't be stronger..."

taehyung pulling Jungkook into a tight embrace, his voice trembling with emotion

Taehyung: (pulling Jungkook into a tight embrace, his voice trembling with emotion) "Jungkook, you are strong. You've been through so much, and you're still here, fighting. That's all that matters to me. We're in this together, okay? We'll figure it out, just like we always have."

Jungkook: (clinging to Taehyung, still crying) "I don't want you to suffer anymore... I don't want to lose you..."

Taehyung: (teasingly) "But seriously, Jungkook... is this what we're going to do all day? Just stand here and cry?

Jungkook: (pouting) "I'm not the only one crying, you know..."

Taehyung:we've got to save some of these tears for later. We can't use them all up now!"You know, Jungkook, I've got a little surprise for you."

jungkook: (raising an eyebrow, curious) "A surprise? What kind of surprise?"

Taehyung: (grinning) "Now, if I told you, it wouldn't be a surprise, would it?"

Jungkook: (playfully pouting) "Come on, just a hint?"

Taehyung: (laughing) "Nice try. But first, I need to get permission from the café owner to take the day off. Can't have a surprise if I'm stuck serving lattes all day, right?"


Taehyung: (casually) "Hey, do you know where the boss is? I need to ask for a day off."

Colleague: (glancing up) "Oh, he's upstairs. Probably in the office. You should find him there."

Taehyung: (nodding) "Thanks."

Taehyung makes his way upstairs, the wooden steps creaking softly under his feet. As he reaches the door to the office, he pauses for a moment before quietly opening it.To his shock, he sees his boss and Namjoon in a close embrace, sharing a kiss. Stunned, Taehyung quickly pulls back, hoping they didn't notice him.

Taehyung: (mumbling ) "So this is why the jin hyung seemed to know me before I even started... Namjoon hyung."

Jungkook: (eagerly) "So, did you get permission? Are we good to go?"

Taehyung: (playful smirk) "Well... I got something more than just permission."

Jungkook: (confused) "Something more? What do you mean?"

Taehyung:"Let's just say I walked in on something... interesting."

Jungkook: (curious) "Interesting? Taehyung, what happened?"

taehyung: i'll tell you later.

Taehyung and Jungkook arrive at a peaceful neighborhood, the sun casting a warm glow over the quaint houses lining the street. They walk up to a modest yet charming house.

Jungkook looks around, curiosity growing as he notices Taehyung's excited expression.

Jungkook: (looking around) "Taehyung, where are we? This place is really nice."

Taehyung: (smiling) "Just wait a second. I have something for you."
