It's been a week since the audition, and Taehyung receives a call confirming that both he and Jungkook have been selected. Deciding to have a little fun, he plans to prank Jungkook.

Taehyung walking into the room with a deliberately sad expression, sighing heavily) "

Taehyung: "Kookie... we need to talk."

Jungkook: (worried) "tae, what's wrong? Did something happen?"

taehyung sits down with a sigh, avoiding eye contact

Taehyung:"We... we didn't get selected."

Jungkook: (disappointed) "Oh... well, that's okay. We did our best, right? We'll just have to keep trying. I'm sure there'll be other opportunities..."

 taehyung glancing at Jungkook, trying to suppress a smile, but still pretending to be sad

Taehyung: "Yeah, but... I really thought atleast you had a chance. I guess it just wasn't meant to be..."

Jungkook: (forcing a smile) "Don't worry, hyung. Maybe next time..."

Taehyung: (pretending to be sad) "But, hey dont worry.... at least we got selected, right?"

Jungkook: "Yeah..... wait, what?"

Taehyung: "I said... we got selected, Kookie!"

It takes a moment for Jungkook to process what Taehyung just said. His eyes widen in realization, and then, like a switch flipping, his entire demeanor changes.Jungkook bursting out in excitement, jumping up and down  

jungkook:"We got selected?! We got selected!! Hyung, we did it!!"

Taehyung: (laughing) "Yeah, we did it! 

Taehyung watches Jungkook's pure happiness with a fond smile, feeling a deep sense of satisfaction knowing they're on this journey together.

year later

A year after their debut, Taehyung and Jungkook have become one of the most popular duos in the K-pop industry.their apartment is filled with awards, fan gifts, and posters of their successful albums.

Jungkook: (sighing heavily) "We did it, hyung. But... why does it feel like we're always running on empty?"

Taehyung:"Because we are. Fame isn't exactly what we imagined, huh? But look at us... we're living the dream, Kookie."

Jungkook:"Yeah, but sometimes I miss the days when it was just us, no cameras, no crazy schedules. Just... simple."

Taehyung: (nodding) "I get it. It's like we're always on, never really getting a break. But you know, I wouldn't trade this for anything. We've come too far."

Jimin: (singing teasingly) "Guess who brought dinner for the most famous duo in Korea?"

Yoongi:"And we even brought your favorites.

Namjoon:(grinning)"Mind if we join? We haven't had a proper hangout in forever."

Jungkook:(grinning)"You have no idea how much we need this. Come in, hyungs!"

Jimin:"So, what's it like being on top of the world? You two are like the golden boys now."

Taehyung: (chuckling) "It's exhausting, to be honest. But it's worth it. We're living the dream... most of the time."

Yoongi:"Fame comes with its price. Just remember to keep your feet on the ground."

Namjoon:"And don't lose yourselves in all of this. Remember why you started, why you love doing this."

Jungkook: (smiling) "We won't forget, hyungs. We've got each other, and that's what keeps us going.btw Hyung, why didn't you bring Jin-hyung with you?

Namjoon: (chuckling) "Ah, Jin-hyung? He's been swamped with work at the café ever since news broke out that the superstar Taehyung used to work there. The place is packed every day now. Poor guy had to hire more staff just to keep up."

Taehyung: (laughing) "Wait, really? I didn't think people would flock to the café just because of me."

Jimin: (teasingly) "You underestimate your charm, Tae. Fans will do anything.

Yoongi: (smirking) "Jin-hyung probably wishes you'd never stepped foot in that café. Now he's got to deal with the chaos."

Namjoon:"He's managing, though. Jin-hyung always finds a way. But yeah, he's been too busy to join us lately. He sends his regards, though."

Jungkook: (pouting playfully) "We should visit him sometime, just to mess with him."

Taehyung: (nodding) "Definitely. And maybe I can show off my barista skills again."

Jimin: (laughing) "You mean your ability to spill coffee all over the place?"

Taehyung: (mock offended) "Hey, I wasn't that bad!"

Manager:"Alright, guys, time to wrap it up. We've got just two minutes before you're on stage. Let's move!"

Jungkook: (grinning at the others)"Duty calls, hyungs."

Manager: (serious tone)"Remember, this is a big one. The whole industry is watching tonight. But no pressure, right?"

Taehyung: (smiling confidently)"No pressure at all. We've got this."

Jungkook: (nodding)"Just another stage, another moment to shine."

Taehyung: (leaning close to Jungkook)"Let's make this one unforgettable, yeah?"

Jungkook: (whispering)"Together, hyung."
