Fated hearts ( taekook ff )

chapter 49

A brightly lit studio, cameras rolling, and a small audience present. Taehyung and Jungkook are seated side by side on a plush couch, both dressed stylishly yet comfortably. The atmosphere is lively as the host introduces them to the audience, who cheer enthusiastically. The interview begins with lighthearted questions, but soon, the conversation takes a more probing turn

Host: (smiling) "So, Taehyung, Jungkook, you two have become the talk of the town, not just for your music but for your incredible chemistry on stage. Fans are curious—are you two dating?"

Jungkook: (laughing lightly) "Ah, we get this question a lot. We're really close, so I guess that's why people wonder. we've been through a lot together, and that bond shows on stage. But no, we're not dating. We're just really good friends."

As soon as the words leave Jungkook's mouth, Taehyung's expression subtly shifts. His smile dims, and there's a flicker of disappointment in his eyes, but he quickly masks it. The audience might not catch it, but those who know him well would see the change.

Host: (playfully) "Well, you heard it here, folks! Just good friends. But that brings me to another question—how do you handle the constant rumors and speculation about your personal lives?"

taehyung: (hesitating for a second) "It's tough sometimes, but we try to focus on our work and let that speak for itself. We know it comes with the territory, but it's not always easy."

Audience Member 1: (persisting) "But you guys are always together! Living together, working together—doesn't it ever feel like more than just friendship?"

Taehyung: (forcing a smile) "We're close, that's true. But like Jungkook said, we're friends who support each other. That's all there is to it."

host: "There have been a lot of rumors circulating about your backgrounds recently. People are saying that you both come from very influential families. Care to comment on that?"

Taehyung: (calmly) "We've heard the rumors, but we're here to talk about our music, not our families."

host: (smiling, but pressing) "Of course, but it's quite fascinating for the fans, especially the speculation that you're both related to high-profile businessmen. Mr. Kim and Mr. Jeon, are they really your fathers?"

Jungkook: (with a forced smile) "We're here because of our hard work, not because of who our parents might be."

Interviewer: (persisting) "But surely, having such influential parents must have opened some doors for you in the industry? It's not every day that two young idols rise to fame so quickly. It makes people wonder if there's more to the story

Taehyung: (coolly) "We prefer to let our work speak for itself. Everyone in this industry has a story, but what matters is the music and the connection we share with our fans."

host: (leaning forward) "So you're not denying the rumors? Mr. Kim and Mr. Jeon have been in the news a lot lately—some people even say they're the reason for your success. How does that make you feel?"

Jungkook's frustration boils over, and he leans forward, glaring at the interviewer.

Jungkook: (angrily) "Enough. We've worked our asses off to get where we are. Our families have nothing to do with it, and frankly, it's none of your business."

host: (attempting to backpedal) "I didn't mean to upset you. I was just trying to address what's been on everyone's minds.Let's move on to something else

 After the interview, Taehyung and Jungkook return to their shared apartment. The atmosphere is tense, with Jungkook still upset about the interview and Taehyung preoccupied with the recent developments in their personal lives.

Jungkook: (hesitantly) "Hyung, can we talk? It's about what happened today. The interview...

Taehyung: "I don't want to talk about the interview, Jungkook. I'm tired."

Taehyung's decision to distance himself from Jungkook stems from the emotional impact of the interview where Jungkook referred to their relationship as "just friends. The once inseparable duo now has a subtle but noticeable gap between them. Taehyung becomes more reserved, often finding reasons to be alone or focus on work, leaving Jungkook confused and concerned about the sudden change in their dynamic.

jungkoook:oh okay ,I got us tickets for that movie we've been talking about! How about we catch it tomorrow?"

Taehyung: (distantly) "I'm swamped with work. Maybe we can go another time?"

Jungkook: (disappointed) "Alright, I'll just leave these here then."
