Fated hearts ( taekook ff )

chapter 52

 The rehearsal room is dimly lit, with the soft hum of background music playing. J-Hope and Jungkook are sitting on the floor, casually chatting after a long practice session. Taehyung is about to enter, but pauses just outside the door when he overhears their conversation.

J-Hope: (laughing lightly) "You and Taehyung are really something, huh? The fans are crazy about your chemistry. You two seem so close."

Jungkook:"Yeah, we're close, but it's not like that. Honestly, we're just doing fan service. You know how it is, right?"

Taehyung freezes outside the door, his hand hovering over the doorknob. The words hit him like a punch to the gut, his heart sinking as he processes what he just heard

J-Hope:(nodding)"Yeah, I get it. It's all part of the job, but I guess I always thought there was something more with you two. You've been through so much together."

Jungkook:(shrugging)"We have, but it's nothing beyond what you see on stage. Just keeping the fans happy."

Taehyung feels his chest tighten, his breath catching in his throat. He takes a step back, unable to hear any more. His mind races, replaying Jungkook's words over and over.

He can't bring himself to enter the room, the weight of Jungkook's words holding him back. Instead, he walks away, his footsteps echoing in the empty hallway, each step feeling heavier than the last. Taehyung disappears down the corridor, leaving behind the laughter of Jungkook and J-Hope, which now feels distant and painful.

 Taehyung's apartment, late at night.aehyung sits on his bed, clutching his phone to his ear. The weight of his loneliness is palpable.

Taehyung Calls Jimin The phone rings for a few moments before Jimin picks up.

Jimin: "Hello, Taehyung? What's going on?. Are you okay?"

Taehyung: (voice trembling) "Jimin, I... I don't know. I just... I feel like crying. I don't really know what's wrong. I just don't feel good."

Jimin: (gently) "Hey, it's okay. Sometimes we all need to cry. But tell me what happened. Is it something with Jungkook? You know you can talk to me about anything.

Taehyung: (sobbing) "no its notabout him ,I don't know... it's like everything's falling apart. I feel so lost and empty. I'm just... I'm just feeling like crying and I don't know why. I just don't know what to do."

Jimin:sometimes we don't have all the answers, and that's okay. You don't have to have everything figured out. You just need to know that you're not alone."

Taehyung: (sniffling) "Thank you, Jimin. I didn't know who else to call. I just needed to hear a friendly voice."

Jimin:"I'm glad you called me. Just remember, you don't have to go through this alone. I'm here for you

Taehyung: (quietly) "I'm really grateful for that I just feel so lonely

Jimin: (comfortingly) "Feeling lonely is really tough, but reaching out for support is a strong step. We all have moments where we feel overwhelmed, and it's okay to lean on others.I'm here, and we can get through this

Taehyung:"Thank you, Jimin. I really needed this. I just needed to talk, even if I don't know what to say."

Jimin: "Taehyung, remember, you can always reach out whenever you need to talk or just want someone to listen. I'm here for you. Now try to get some rest and don't let your thoughts keep you up. I'll swing by tomorrow to check in."

Taehyung: "Thank you, Jimin. That means a lot. Good night."

Jimin: "Good night, Taehyung. Take care."

next day

jimin: hey jungkook how's everything going?

Jungkook:Oh,I was just with J-Hope, and we had a great time working on the new track."

Taehyung: (without looking up)J-Hope seem to be getting pretty close these days. It seems like you two are inseparable.

Jimin: (concerned) "Hey Taehyung, why are you talking like that? What's going on between you two? Is everything okay in your relationship?"

Taehyung: (bitterly) "Relationship? We're not even close."

Jimin: (confused) "Are you out of your mind? What do you mean you're not close?"

Taehyung: (sarcastically) "No, really, ask Jungkook. It's all just fan service, isn't it, Jungkook?"

Jungkook: (taken aback) "What are you even talking about, Tae? I just don't want our relationship out in the open like that

Taehyung crosses his arms, his expression darkening as Jungkook's phone starts to ring

Taehyung: (sarcastically) "Go ahead, pick it up. Must be your 'lover' calling."

Jungkook: (frustrated) "He's not my lover, Tae. Can you just try to understand that? Excuse me, I have to take this call

(Without waiting for a response, Jungkook steps away, heading to his room for privacy. Taehyung watches him go, feeling a mix of anger and sadness, unsure if there's anything left to say.)
