PART 8

Jungkook's eyes fluttered open, his chest heaving as if he'd been running. The vivid dream lingered, refusing to fade. In the dream, he was with someone – someone he loved deeply. They shared laughter, tears, and whispers, their happiness palpable and infectious. But what struck Jungkook was the face; previously blurred, it was now crystal clear. Taehyung's features shone brightly, his bright smile illuminating the dream.

The conversation replayed in Jungkook's mind: he'd asked, "What's your full name?" and Taehyung's eyes sparkled as he replied, "My name is Taehyung." Jungkook's heart skipped a beat recalling the dream, unable to shake the feeling it was more than just a dream.

Sitting up, rubbing his eyes, Jungkook tried processing his emotions. Why Taehyung? And why now? His gaze fell on his phone, resurfacing the memory of last night's conversation with Taehyung. Jungkook's thoughts swirled, blurring reality and the dream. Was this a sign of something deeper? Or just his subconscious playing tricks.

Jungkook wakes up, still reeling from the vivid dream of Taehyung. He can't shake off the feeling that it was more than just a dream. The memory of Taehyung's bright smile and sparkling eyes lingers, making his heart flutter.

He quickly gets ready for school, his anticipation growing. He can't wait to see Taehyung.

As he heads to school, Jungkook's mind is consumed by thoughts of Taehyung. What would he say to him? Would he confess his feelings?

Upon arriving at school, Jungkook positions himself at the gate, eagerly waiting for Taehyung's arrival.

After what feels like an eternity, the sleek black car pulls up. Yoongi steps out first, opening the door for Taehyung.

Jungkook's eyes narrow as he watches Yoongi assist Taehyung out of the car. His fists clench, a surge of jealousy coursing through his veins.

Why does Yoongi always have to be around Taehyung?

Jungkook's jaw clenched, his eyes flashing with anger as he watched Yoongi effortlessly charm Taehyung. Yesterday, Taehyung was in tears because of Yoongi, and now he was acting as if nothing had happened.

How could Yoongi be so nonchalant? Didn't he care about Taehyung's feelings?

Jungkook's gaze shifted to Taehyung, who seemed oblivious to Yoongi's true nature. His heart ached, wanting to protect Taehyung from Yoongi's manipulation.

As Yoongi casually draped his arm over Taehyung's shoulders, Jungkook's fists tightened. He felt a strong urge to confront Yoongi, to make him pay for hurting Taehyung.

But something held him back – perhaps the fear of revealing his own feelings or disrupting Taehyung's life further.

For now, Jungkook stood frozen, seething with frustration and concern for Taehyung's well-being.

Taehyung's laughter at Yoongi's joke snapped Jungkook back to reality. He couldn't stand idly by while Yoongi continued have Taehyung.

With newfound determination, Jungkook approached them, his eyes locked onto Taehyung.

"Hi, Taehyung," Jungkook said, his voice friendly but laced with a hint of tension.

Taehyung turned, flashing a bright smile. "Hey, Jungkook!"

But before Taehyung could respond further, Yoongi slid his hand around Taehyung's waist, pulling him closer. The possessive gesture made Jungkook's jaw clench.

Jungkook's eyes narrowed, his gaze fixed on Yoongi's hand. He didn't like the way Yoongi touched Taehyung, didn't like the way it seemed to claim ownership.
