Love Again

19

Seokjin and Jungkook had managed to keep their relationship low-key, careful not to attract too much attention as their careers slowly rebounded. They had learned from past mistakes and focused on building something strong, away from the public eye. And in the meantime, both of them had been thriving in their respective fields.

For Seokjin, his career had taken an incredible turn. Gucci had approached him with an offer he couldn't refuse, making him their main brand ambassador. The million-dollar contract not only brought him back into the spotlight but also showcased his timeless appeal and versatility. Seokjin graced the covers of high-profile magazines, appeared in exclusive commercials, and his face adorned billboards in major cities. His elegance and charm drew attention, causing his popularity to soar once again. Soon, his calendar was filled with offers for dramas, films, and endorsements. Seokjin was back on top, and it felt like the world had fallen in love with him all over again.

Jungkook, on the other hand, was deeply immersed in his family business. He had taken on more responsibilities, traveling frequently for business meetings, networking with high-profile clients, and securing major deals that helped expand the company's reach. His father, once skeptical of his abilities, began to see Jungkook's true potential. Jungkook was proving himself as a sharp and capable businessman, respected by the elites. Though the constant travel and work demands kept him busy, he made sure to keep in touch with Seokjin, and they cherished the quiet moments when they were together.

Despite their growing success, Seokjin and Jungkook's relationship remained hidden from the public eye. They didn't want their careers to be overshadowed by their personal lives, and they didn't want to invite any unnecessary attention. It was a mutual decision, and though it sometimes meant less time spent together, both knew it was for the best. Their love for each other was their sanctuary-safe, private, and away from the noise of the world.

Meanwhile, Taehyung's career had taken a significant hit following the cheating scandal with Jennie. The public backlash had been severe, with fans and critics alike turning on him. Concerts were canceled, performances postponed, and endorsements pulled. The scandal had tarnished his once-glowing reputation, and for the first time in his career, Taehyung found himself relegated to the background.

Rather than being in the limelight, Taehyung retreated to the shadows, focusing on producing music for other artists under his company. He poured his frustrations into his work, quietly rebuilding his reputation from behind the scenes. But the road to redemption was long, and the wounds from the scandal still lingered. The hate was hard to ignore, but Taehyung had no choice but to endure it and slowly work his way back into the industry.

Jennie, on the other hand, had completely disappeared from the public eye. After the scandal broke, she had flown to America, avoiding the media frenzy altogether. It was as though she had vanished overnight. Her social media went silent, and she made no public appearances. Some speculated that she was working on a secret project, while others believed she was simply hiding from the fallout of the scandal. Whatever the case, Jennie had done exactly what she had planned, leaving the mess behind and starting fresh, far from the chaos that had erupted around her.

As time passed, the scandal surrounding Seokjin, Taehyung, and Jennie began to fade from public memory. With Seokjin's soaring popularity, the public shifted their focus back to his work. Jungkook's reputation as a rising businessman became a topic of conversation in elite circles. Taehyung's name, however, remained tinged with controversy, and Jennie's absence only fueled rumors of her downfall.

For now, Seokjin and Jungkook were content with the way things were. They had learned to navigate their public and private lives carefully, balancing their careers and love with grace. Though they kept their relationship quiet, the bond between them grew stronger with each passing day. Their love had survived the storm, and now, they were both on the path to even greater success, knowing they had each other through it all.
