Fri [ends] ミ Taennie

Epilogue.

Jennie woke up with a gentle smile, feeling a mix of happiness and shyness. She glanced over at Taehyung, who was still sleeping peacefully beside her. Her cheeks flushed as she remembered their passionate night together.

As she got out of bed, she couldn't help but think about how everything felt different now. They had finally crossed the line from friendship to something more, and it was both exhilarating and terrifying.

Taehyung woke up soon after, stretching and yawning before his eyes met Jennie's. "Good morning," he said, his voice low and husky.

Jennie smiled, feeling a sense of awkwardness wash over her. It was like they were navigating a new world together, one where everything felt fresh and new.

"Good morning," she replied, her voice barely above a whisper.

Taehyung chuckled and got out of bed, walking over to Jennie. He wrapped his arms around her, pulling her close. "I like waking up next to you," he said, his lips brushing against her ear.

Jennie's heart skipped a beat at his touch. Everything felt so different now, yet somehow, it felt like they were meant to be this way.

As they went about their morning routine, Jennie couldn't help but notice the little things - the way Taehyung's eyes crinkled when he smiled, the way his hair curled slightly at the nape of his neck. It was like she was seeing him for the first time, and it was both thrilling and unsettling.

As Jennie and Taehyung joined the group, Jimin's eyes sparkled with mischief. "Ah, look who's finally decided to join us! Did you two sleep peacefully?" he asked, his voice dripping with sarcasm.

Taehyung's face turned bright red as Jennie's eyes dropped to her lap. The others burst out laughing, and even RM couldn't help but chuckle.

"Slept peacefully?" Suga repeated, his voice laced with amusement. "I think that's a pretty safe bet!"

J-Hope elbowed Taehyung playfully. "Hyung, you're so quiet today! Everything okay?"

Taehyung glared at Jimin, who was still grinning from ear to ear. "Shut up, Jimin."

Jennie's cheeks were still flushed, but she couldn't help but laugh at the teasing. "Stop it, guys!"

But Jimin just wouldn't let up. "I'm just asking because you two looked so...rested. Yeah, that's the word!"

The group erupted into laughter again, and even Taehyung couldn't help but crack a smile. "Okay, okay. We get it."

As the teasing continued, RM spoke up, a serious expression on his face. "You know, we're just glad Taehyung's back on track again. He was a bit of a handful when Jennie left."

Jin nodded in agreement. "Yeah, he was rude, irritable, and always disturbing the peace. We were at our wit's end!"

Suga shook his head. "And the smoking, drinking, and gaming all night? We thought we'd lost him to his vices!"

J-Hope added, "And the way he'd lash out at us for no reason? It was like walking on eggshells around him!"

Jimin chimed in, "But now, he's like a new person! Thanks to Jennie, of course!"

The group nodded in agreement, relieved that Taehyung had changed for the better.

Taehyung looked down, sheepish, knowing he'd been a difficult person to be around. "Sorry, guys. I was a mess."

Jennie squeezed his hand, her eyes shining with love and support. "You're doing better now, that's all that matters."

Taehyung smiled, grateful for her forgiveness and the support of his friends.
