PART 13

Yoongi he come to pick up Taehyung, earlier than usual. He pulled up unexpected and stepped out of the car.

His eyes locked onto the scene before him.
Taehyung and Jungkook, embracing tightly.

A jolt of unease ran through Yoongi's veins.
What's going on? He approached quietly, not wanting to startle them.

"Taehyung?" Yoongi called out, his voice measured.

Taehyung and Jungkook sprang apart.

Guilty expressions flashed across their faces.

"Yoongi!" Taehyung exclaimed, attempting nonchalance. "What are you doing here?" Taehyung asked.

Yoongi's eyes narrowed.

"I was in the neighborhood. Thought I'd surprise you," Yoongi said.

Jungkook's eyes darted between them.

"I should go," Jungkook muttered.

Yoongi's gaze lingered on Jungkook.
Something didn't feel right."Stay away from Taehyung, Jungkook," Yoongi warned.

Jungkook's jaw clenched.

Taehyung intervened.
"Yoongi, stop. It's not what it looks like," Taehyung reassured.

But Yoongi's suspicion lingered.

Yoongi's inner monologue:

"I need to do something, before it's too late," Yoongi thought.

"This feeling, it's been growing for weeks. Taehyung's distance, Jungkook's constant presence...it's like they're hiding something."

"Can't let Jungkook ruin everything," Yoongi's mind raced.
"Not now, not when we've come so far."
"I have to protect what's mine."Taehyung's mine."

"I won't lose him to Jungkook."Yoongi's eyes locked onto Taehyung.

"I'll do whatever it takes," Yoongi vowed.

"Whatever it takes to keep him."

_________

After one month, Jungkook and Taehyung's feelings for each other had grown.

Sometimes, in class, they'd lock eyes and blush.

Their gazes would linger, sparks flying.

Jimin noticed the change and felt uneasy.

Jungkook's smile, once reserved for him, now belonged to Taehyung.

Their laughter, once shared, now echoed with Taehyung.

Jimin's heart ached. Was he losing his best friend?

Would Jungkook choose Taehyung over their bond?

The uncertainty gnawed at Jimin.

As Jungkook and Taehyung's connection deepened.

In this month brought clarity for Taehyung. He realized that his feelings for Yoongi had faded. The love that once burned bright now simmered. Taehyung struggled to reconcile his emotions, feeling guilty about his newfound awareness.

How could he tell Yoongi that his heart no longer belonged to him? Their relationship, once passionate, now felt hollow.

Meanwhile, Jungkook's presence stirred new emotions. Taehyung's heart skipped beats when Jungkook was near, and their accidental touches sent shivers.

Was it possible to fall for someone new while still bound to another? Taehyung's conscience nagged, unsure of how to navigate these conflicting emotions.
