One evening, while sitting on Taehyung's porch, the sun setting behind them, Lisa took a deep breath, her expression serious.
“Taehyung, I need to talk to you about something.”

His heart raced. “What is it?”

“I think we should tell Jungkook about us,” she said, her voice steady yet tinged with uncertainty. “I don’t want to hide anymore. I really like you, and I want everyone to know.”

Taehyung’s stomach dropped. “Lisa, I… I’m not sure that’s a good idea,” he stammered, struggling with his words. “Jungkook is important to me. I don’t want to hurt him.”

“But we deserve to be happy, don’t we?” she replied, her eyes pleading. “I don’t want to keep living in the shadows. It’s exhausting.”

He knew she was right. Every stolen kiss and whispered confession felt like a burden he was not meant to carry alone.

But the thought of Jungkook’s reaction paralyzed him. “Let’s just give it more time,” he suggested weakly, hoping to buy himself more time to figure things out.

But Lisa’s expression hardened. “Taehyung, this isn’t fair to either of us. You can’t keep living like this.”

Taehyung looked down, guilt washing over him.

He didn’t want to lose Lisa, but he was equally terrified of losing Jungkook.

The next day, as if fate had decided to intervene, Taehyung and Lisa found themselves in an unexpected moment of intimacy.

They were at Taehyung’s house, sharing a quiet afternoon when Lisa leaned in to kiss him.

The world around them faded away, and for a moment, all that existed was their love.

But in that moment of bliss, Jungkook happened to walk by, catching sight of them through the window. His heart dropped, disbelief etched across his face.

Taehyung’s worst fears had come to life.
