Fated hearts ( taekook ff )

chapter 50

Jungkook is in the dance studio, working with J-Hope on a new routine. They are laughing and chatting animatedly while practicing. Taehyung arrives at the studio to check in on them.

Taehyung:"Hey, how's the rehearsal going?"

J-Hope: (brightly) "Hey, Taehyung! We're just perfecting the routine. Jungkook's been amazing!"

Jungkook:(grinning)"Yeah, J-Hope's teaching me some new moves. It's been great."

Taehyung:(forcing a smile)"That's awesome. You two seem to be getting along really well."

J-Hope:(noticing Taehyung's tone)"Yeah, we're having a lot of fun. It's great working with Jungkook."

jungkook: taehyung i was I thinking we could go for a walk together after reharsal.

taehyung: (weary) "sorry I really need to get some rest."

Jungkook: (pleading) "Just a quick walk? It's been a while since we've had some time together."

Taehyung: (sighs) "I'm sorry, Jungkook. Maybe some other time."

Taehyung and Jungkook are at home after a long day. Jungkook is excitedly recounting his day with J-Hope.

Jungkook: (animatedly) "And then J-Hope showed me this new move—it's so cool! I think it's going to be perfect for our performance."

Taehyung: (forcing a smile) "That sounds great. You seem really excited about working with him."

Jungkook: (noticing Taehyung's lack of enthusiasm) "Yeah, I am. J-Hope's been really helpful.

suddnly Taehyung's phone buzzes with a message from J-Hope.

J-Hope: (text message) "Hey, Taehyung! Jungkook and I planned to grab dinner. Want to join?"

Taehyung: (text message) "Thanks, but I've got plans. Maybe another time."

Jungkook: (softly) "Hyung, can we talk?"

Taehyung: (curtly) "I'm busy right now, Jungkook."

Jungkook: "You've been saying that for days. What's really going on? Why are you doing this? You've been avoiding me ever since the interview. Did I say something wrong? is it because of interview or is it jhope?

Taehyung: (sighing) "It's not just about what you said. It's about how we're living this... lie."

Jungkook: (confused) "Lie? What do you mean?"

Taehyung:"We're married, Jungkook. But no one knows. We're pretending to be something we're not, just for the sake of the cameras and the fans. And when you said we were just friends... it felt like you were denying everything we have."

Jungkook: (softly) "Taehyung, I didn't mean to hurt you. I just didn't want to put our relationship under a spotlight, not yet. I thought it was safer this way."

Taehyung: (bitterly) "Safer for who? You? Me? What's the point of being married if we have to hide it like it's something to be ashamed of?"

Jungkook: (desperately) "I'm not ashamed of us, Taehyung. I just didn't want anyone to ruin what we have."

Taehyung: (frustrated) "I don't need to explain. I'm just tired of the whole situation."

Jungkook: "Tired? You're tired of us? Of me?"

Taehyung: "No, that's not what I meant. It's just... the way things are looking from the outside makes it hard. And you being so close to J-Hope doesn't help."

Jungkook: "So now you're blaming me for being close to J-Hope? He's my friend. Why is it so hard for you to understand that?"

Taehyung: (angrily) "Because it looks like more than just friendship! And every time you're with him, it feels like you're pushing me away."

Jungkook: (yelling) "Pushing you away? I'm trying to fix things! I'm trying to be with you, and all you do is distance yourself and act like I'm not important!"

Taehyung: (shouting) "It's not that simple! When you say we're just friends in public and act all cozy with J-Hope, it makes me question where I stand!"

Jungkook: (angrily) "Well, maybe you should have told me how you really feel instead of just withdrawing. I'm not a mind reader, Taehyung!"

Taehyung pushing Jungkook against the shelf, his gaze intense and pained

Taehyung:"Then why are you always with him? The way you laugh and talk with him—it feels like you're more interested in him than in me.

eyes filling with tears, voice trembling

Taehyung: "Every time I see you with him, it's like you're happier without me. Like I'm just not enough for you. Why are you pushing me away?"

Jungkook : "Tae, it's not like that. Please, you have to believe me."

desperation in his eyes, taehyung leans in for a kiss. Jungkook, startled and overwhelmed, instinctively pushes Taehyung away.

Jungkook: (eyes wide) "Oh my God, Taehyung, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to push you! i was just...

Jungkook's face is a mix of shock and regret. He reaches out to touch Taehyung, but Taehyung recoils, his expression filled with pain and hurt

Taehyung: (backing away) "You don't have to apologize. It's okay. I just... I didn't expect that reaction. I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable."

Jungkook, overwhelmed with guilt and regret, pulls Taehyung close and begins to kiss him all over his face, tears streaming down his cheeks.

Jungkook:"I'm so sorry, Taehyung. I didn't mean to push you. I didn't mean to hurt you. Please, forgive me. You can do anything to me. I'll do anything to make it right."

Taehyung remains silent, his eyes distant. The lack of response from Taehyung makes Jungkook's sobs even more intense. He looks at Taehyung with a mixture of sorrow and frustration

Jungkook:(voice cracking)I'm sorry. I really am."
