Never the one Never mine | VSOO

34. Heartstrings Unveiled

It had been another late night at the studio. The energy in the room was high, and everyone was in good spirits, the music flowing effortlessly as usual. Jisoo had just finished playing a new melody on the piano, her fingers lingering over the keys as the notes faded into the air. 

The others were still chatting and laughing, but Jisoo's thoughts were elsewhere—focused on the silent tension that had been building between her and Taehyung for weeks.

She had noticed his stares, the quiet way he looked at her when he thought no one else was watching. And while she had felt awkward at first, unsure of what to make of it, she had begun to realize something: she didn't mind. 

In fact, she liked it. 

She liked him.

That night, as she sat in front of the piano, lost in thought, she realized she couldn't avoid her feelings any longer. 

She needed to know where they stood.

It took at least 7 years for them to come here, 7 years of tears, blushing, stealing glances and secret confessions.

As the last notes of Jisoo's melody lingered in the air, the room erupted into appreciative applause. 

Jisoo opened her eyes, a shy smile gracing her lips as she acknowledged the praise. Jennie and Jungkook exchanged knowing glances, sensing the emotional depth behind the piece.

"That was beautiful, Unnieeee YOU SHOULD BE A KPOP IDOL," Jennie said, walking over to her friend and wrapping her in a warm hug.

"Thanks, but I'm not wasting that much time to be an Idol lol," Jisoo replied, her cheeks tinged pink. "It's something I've been working on for a while."

Jungkook leaned against the piano, grinning widely. "I think it's your best one yet. You should definitely record it."

Jisoo laughed softly. "Maybe someday."

As the evening wore on, people began to trickle out of the studio, bidding their goodbyes and promising to meet again soon. 

Before long, only Jisoo, Taehyung, Jennie, and Jungkook remained, basking in the comfortable silence that settled over the now tranquil space.

Jennie stretched her arms above her head and let out a yawn. "Well, I think it's time for us to head out. Coming, Kook?"

Jungkook caught the subtle hint in Jennie's tone and nodded enthusiastically. "Yeah, we should get going."

Jisoo looked up in surprise. "So early? It's not that late."

Jennie winked at her. "Early night for us. You two can lock up, right?"

Before Jisoo could respond, Taehyung chimed in. "Yeah, we've got it covered."

"Great!" Jennie beamed, grabbing her bag and tugging Jungkook towards the door. "See you guys tomorrow!"

"Bye!" Jungkook added, giving them both a thumbs up before disappearing out the door with Jennie, leaving Jisoo and Taehyung alone in the quiet studio.

An awkward silence filled the room as Jisoo began tidying up, stacking sheet music and organizing instruments. Taehyung watched her for a moment before taking a deep breath and walking over to her.

"Need some help?" he offered gently.

Jisoo looked up, her eyes meeting his. There was something different in his gaze tonight—an intensity that made her heartbeat quicken. She gave him a small smile. "Sure, thanks."

They worked together in comfortable silence, the only sounds being the soft rustling of papers and the distant hum of city life outside. As they finished, Jisoo sat down on the piano bench, absentmindedly playing a few notes. Taehyung hesitated before sitting beside her, the proximity causing a pleasant warmth to bloom between them.

"You know," Taehyung began softly, his eyes focused on the piano keys, "that piece you played earlier was really something."

Jisoo's fingers stilled, and she looked over at him, her eyes searching. "Thanks"

He turned to face her fully, his expression earnest. "It felt... personal"

"Hm"

"That's all you say? TO THAT COMPLIMENT"

"Why? What do you wanna hear"

"Nothing, but atleast a bit more."

"Lol"

As they Packed up, One of Jisoo's books fell down and Taehyung went to pick it up.

"I hope this doesn't find you, heyy"

"That's mine!"

"I will do anything to make you happy for the rest of our lives, I will never let you go, I will never give up on us my love, Yes dumbass, I'm madly in love with you." He read.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOO SHUT UPPP"

That's when she noticed he was reading from the part that she had already read, and there was nothing like that written.

"Your reading from the part I've already read, There's no part which says that"

"Yeah, Take the hint"

"What-"

He threw the book to her before she could continue.

"I want you so badly it might kill me"

"That's also not there" 

"Exactly, you should take hints too" She smirked.

"I'll never let you go"

"Catch me first"

As they both ran around the studio. He got a hold of her.

"I love you"

"I've loved you more then you can remember"

"You and me are special"

"Let's be together, Forever"

This is it.

They did it.

Both of them 

together.

But, did they live happily together?

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHA. Fuck No.

After that night, they we're together, but then Jisoo left to go abroad.

Where they still talked, but it wasn't like before.
