Magical Love

Magical 18

"Really, and you didn't sue the man?" Seokjin asked, surprised by Taehyung's decision. "Hoseok would have sued him for everything he's got."

Taehyung chuckled. "Actually, Hoseok suggested that. But I declined. That man already had a lot on his plate. I didn't want to add to his problems."

"But, he punched you and destroyed your car," Seokjin protested, worried about his friend.

Taehyung shook his head calmly. "It's not a big deal. Material things can be replaced."

"But, Taehyung, aren't you angry at your client or your colleagues?" Seokjin asked, concerned.

Taehyung took a sip of his drink. "Anger is a waste of energy. It's better to focus on positive things and be productive. Don't let negativity consume you."

Seokjin nodded, thoughtfully.

Just then, Jungkook entered the bar with a woman by his side. "Hey, guys," he greeted.

"Jungkook!" Taehyung exclaimed. "You're here." Jungkook saw Seokjin staring deeply at him. "Come join us," Taehyung invited.

"No need, Taehyung. We're just passing through," Jungkook replied. "This is Lisa, a rising star from Thailand. She's a rock star."

Lisa timidly greeted everyone.

Habeom also introduced his date. "Remember that talkative guy from your first date? My date and that guy are workmates"

Seokjin groaned. "I'll never forget him. I wanted to stuff his mouth with a sock."

"Well, it's better to be talkative than to smell bad," Jungkook jokes.

"Come here, let me pinch your nipples," Seokjin said playfully.

Jungkook laughed and tried to dodge Seokjin's playful attacks.

Taehyung watched them with a pang of sadness. He wished he could make Seokjin laugh like that. But he knew it was a different kind of connection, one he couldn't replicate.

As Seokjin and Taehyung left the bar,

"Seokjin, it's Hoseok, I'm going to take his call." Taehyung took a call from Hoseok. Seokjin, distracted by the conversation, was caught off guard by what he saw: Jungkook passionately kissing Lisa. His heart pounded in his chest as he watched the scene unfold.

The urge to confront them was overwhelming, but he managed to restrain himself. He knew he had no right to interfere in Jungkook's personal life.

"Sorry for keeping you waiting." Taehyung finished his call and joined him.

"It's alright," Seokjin's mood was noticeably somber.

"Are you alright, Seokjin?" Taehyung asked, noticing his friend's distress.

Seokjin nodded, his voice barely a whisper. "Taehyungie, can you kiss me?"

Taehyung was taken aback by the unexpected request. His eyes widened in surprise as he processed Seokjin's words.

Meanwhile, Habeom was waiting for Jungkook in front of their pickup truck. He was surprised to see Jungkook arrive so quickly.

"I thought you were with Lisa. What's wrong?" Habeom asked, noticing Jungkook's slightly dejected demeanor.

"I guess Lisa wasn't a very good kisser," Jungkook replied, scratching his head.

"Is it Lisa, or are you thinking of someone else?" Habeom inquired, his tone hinting at a certain suspicion.

"What are you talking about? Let's go. We have work tomorrow," Jungkook dismissed Habeom's question, trying to change the subject.
