9-Farewell🍁

__Farewell__

Jungkook's Pov 🙋🏻‍♀️
Ignore The Mistakes.

(Sunday arrived, and Jungkook wrestled with his emotions.)

"Attend the dinner, face Taehyung, and risk exposing my feelings?"

Or:

"Stay away, protect my heart, but potentially hurt Taehyung?"

Jungkook chose the latter, sending a text in group:

"Sorry, can't make it. Busy."

Sending that text was a relief, but guilt lingers. As Taehyung's mentor, I should be there for him, offering guidance and support.

But the thought of facing him, of being near him, unsettles me.

My insecurities resurface - my introverted nature, my unremarkable looks, my rounded figure.

How can someone as radiant as Taehyung possibly see me in a different light?

I'm just his mentor, his confidant, not someone worthy of more. My role is to help him grow professionally, not to indulge in fanciful notions. Yet, every time our eyes meet, my heart skips a beat.

Staying away is safer. But what if Taehyung needs guidance or support? Can I truly abandon him? My mind races with worst-case scenarios.

The mentor in me wins, but the man in me trembles with vulnerability.

What if he discovers my true feelings? Would he recoil in disgust or pity me?

No, I must maintain this distance. Protect myself from potential heartache. But as I silence my phone, a pang of regret echoes within.

Perhaps someday I'll find the courage to reveal my true self. Until then, I'll remain hidden, watching over Taehyung from afar.

Or my feeling will be remain hidden forever...

_Farewell Dinner_

The group gathered at the restaurant, Taehyung's smile faltering.

"Jungkook hyung isn't coming?" Taehyung asked in low voice.

Namjoon shook his head. "He said he's busy." Taehyung hid his disappointment.

As they shared stories and laughter, Taehyung's gaze drifted to the empty seat.

"Today is sunday, still he is busy or he made excuse not to spend time with us?" Jimin asked with not so happy tone.

Seokjin shrugged. "Maybe he's really busy in some personal stuffs."

Hobi teased, "Or maybe he's busy with his girlfriend."

Taehyung's felt uneasy, "Hyung has a girlfriend." They shrugged.
"Maybe" Taehyung nodded, smile gently.

Maybe... This words lingered in Taehyung's mind. "Why am I feeling gloomy." Taehyung said to himself.

As the night wore on, Taehyung's sadness deepened.

"Did I do something wrong?" Taehyung wondered.

Little did Taehyung know, Jungkook watched from afar.
