EPISODE 4

Jungkook walks into his home, expecting peace and quiet. But he finds Jimin there.
"Jimin, what are you doing here?" Jungkook asks, surprised.

"I come to study with you, but you weren't here," Jimin replies.

Jungkook's mom emerges from the kitchen.

"Jimin, you're welcome to stay for dinner!"

Jimin's face lights up."Thanks, Mrs. Jung!"

Jungkook's thoughts drift to Taehyung.
The image of him crying lingers.

Jimin notices Jungkook's distraction.
"Hey, everything okay?"

Jungkook forces a smile."Yeah, just tired."

But Jimin's knowing gaze makes Jungkook wonder. How long can he keep his secret hidden?

AFTER A FEW MINUTES.

Jimin speaks, "Jungkook you never get tired? " he says concern etched on his face."Can you tell me what's going on?" Jimin's voice softens. "You've been distant from me lately."

Jungkook's eyes drop. Avoiding Jimin's piercing gaze nothing's going on, Jimin," he mutters.

But Jimin isn't convinced. Kookie, we've been friends since childhood
"I know when something is bothering you."

Jungkook's shoulders tense. Trapped between secrecy and loyalty. "Jimin trust me," Jungkook pleads. "It's nothing."

Jimin's expression turns skeptical. Fine, but know this: I'm here for you. When you're ready to talk.

Jungkook nods. Grateful for Jimin's understanding. But the weight of his secret remains. Unspoken. Hidden. For now.

TIME SKIPPED.

"Jimin, I want to tell you something," Jungkook says, his voice barely above a whisper. "I want you to be the first to know."

Jimin's curiosity is piqued. What is it, Kookie?"

Jungkook takes a deep breath. I think I like Taehyung."

Jimin's face falls. "What? No way kookie you can't be serious."

Jungkook nods."I am."

Jimin shakes his head. No, Kookie you don't even know him that well."

Jungkook's determination hardens.
"That's exactly why I want to get to know him better."

Jimin's disapproval is palpable.
"Kookie, think about this you don't know what you're getting yourself into."

"First, look at yourself, then at Taehyung," Jimin says, his tone blunt. There's no chance for a guy like you."

Jungkook's eyes narrow."What's that supposed to mean?"

Jimin crosses his arms. You're reckless, impulsive, and emotional."

Taehyung's calm and collected."

Jungkook's face heats. You think I'm not good enough for him?"

Jimin's expression softens. Kookie I'm just being realistic."You two are polar opposites."

Jungkook's jaw clenches. I'll prove you wrong Jimin.""I'll show you I can change."
For Taehyung.

"don't waste your time, Jungkook," Jimin says, his voice sharp. "Taehyung is in a higher class, not loser like you."

Jungkook's eyes flash. "Shut up Jimin."
His voice low, menacing."You don't know anything about Taehyung."

Jimin raises an eyebrow. Oh, I don't?" "Everyone knows Taehyung he's the school's prince." Unreachable, untouchable."
