Taehyung stood in front of the mirror, adjusting his tie for the charity event in Hawaii. He was excited about the opportunity to represent his company and contribute to a good cause, but as he caught sight of his reflection, his heart felt heavy with the thought of leaving Jungkook behind. He could already picture his adorable bobba's pouting face, and it made him ache inside.

Meanwhile, in their cozy apartment, Jungkook was throwing a fit that could rival a dramatic movie scene. "Seriously? Who holds a charity event in Hawaii?!" he whined, his voice filled with faux outrage as he flopped onto the couch. "It's not fair! How can you go there without me?!" His big, doe eyes were brimming with unshed tears, masking the sadness that lay beneath his playful tantrum.

Taehyung stepped into the living room, instantly sensing the storm brewing within Jungkook. "Kookie, come on. It's just for three weeks," he said, trying to hide the smirk threatening to break out on his face at Jungkook's adorable dramatics.

"Three weeks?!" Jungkook echoed, his pout deepening as he crossed his arms over his chest. "You're going to have fun in Hawaii, enjoying the sun and surf while I'm stuck here with exams! What kind of boyfriend does that?" He huffed, the sadness creeping into his voice.

"Jungkook, you know I'd take you with me if I could," Taehyung said softly, kneeling beside the couch. "But your exams are so important, and I can't bear to see you stressed out over this. You have to focus on your studies."

Jungkook rolled his eyes dramatically, but his heart wasn't in it. "You'll just be there enjoying the beach, and all the girls will be around you. You'll forget about me!" He wasn't just throwing a tantrum; he was genuinely worried. Taehyung's good looks always attracted attention, and the thought of him surrounded by admirers made Jungkook's heart twist in jealousy.

Taehyung understood all too well what was going on in Jungkook's mind. He reached out, cupping Jungkook's cheek with his warm hand, forcing their gazes to meet. "Kookie, listen to me. You're the only one for me. No one else can compare to my adorable bobba," he reassured him, his voice steady and soothing. "I promise that when I come back, we'll spend every moment together. I'll make it up to you."

"But what if-" Jungkook began, but the words were cut off by the gentle press of Taehyung's lips against his.

The kiss was soft but filled with warmth, and it melted away the doubts swirling in Jungkook's mind. When Taehyung pulled away, he could see the love and sincerity in his eyes, and it calmed the storm inside him. "You mean everything to me, Jungkook. No amount of fun in Hawaii could ever replace you. I'll call you every day, and I'll bring you back something special," Taehyung promised.

With a sigh, Jungkook leaned into Taehyung's touch, his heart slowly easing. "Okay, fine. But you better bring me something amazing!" he relented, a hint of a smile breaking through his earlier frown.

"Of course, my sweet bobba," Taehyung chuckled, leaning in to press another quick kiss to Jungkook's lips. "Now, promise me you'll study hard, and I'll do everything I can to make this trip worthwhile for both of us. Just think about how much we'll enjoy our time together when I return."

As Taehyung packed his bags, Jungkook tried to muster some enthusiasm, knowing that this was just a temporary separation. They had been living together for some time now, and the thought of being apart, even for a few weeks, felt daunting. Yet, Taehyung's calming presence reassured him that they would overcome this hurdle, just as they had done before.

With one last lingering look, Taehyung smiled at Jungkook, his heart swelling with affection. "I'll miss you more than anything. Just don't forget to text me every five minutes, okay?" he teased.

"Only if you promise to reply right away!" Jungkook shot back, trying to maintain the playful banter that defined their relationship.

As Taehyung left for the airport, Jungkook watched him go, feeling a bittersweet mix of pride and longing. Despite the sadness that tugged at his heart, he knew they would be okay. After all, true love could withstand any distance, and he would eagerly count down the days until he could be back in Taehyung's arms again.

As Taehyung's car disappeared down the street, Jungkook felt a weight settle on his chest. The apartment, which had been filled with laughter and playful banter just moments ago, now felt eerily quiet. The familiar scent of Taehyung's cologne lingered in the air, but the absence of his presence made everything feel off-kilter. Jungkook flopped onto the couch, staring blankly at the wall, lost in thought.

His mind raced through all the what-ifs. What if Taehyung met someone in Hawaii? What if he was swept off his feet by a beautiful stranger? The thought sent a pang of jealousy through Jungkook, and he buried his face in his hands. "I'm such a fool," he muttered to himself. "Why can't I just trust him?"

With a heavy sigh, he pulled out his phone and opened their chat. Taehyung had already texted him a simple "I love you, Kookie" before leaving. Jungkook's heart fluttered at the message, but the insecurities returned. He tapped out a quick reply: "I love you too. Don't have too much fun without me." After hitting send, he couldn't help but roll his eyes at his own dramatics.

The minutes turned into hours, and Jungkook found himself aimlessly wandering around the apartment. He picked up a few books, but couldn't focus on the words. He opened the fridge, hoping to find something to snack on, but nothing seemed appealing. His thoughts kept drifting back to Taehyung-his laugh, his smile, the way his eyes sparkled with mischief. Jungkook missed him already.

Finally, in an attempt to distract himself, Jungkook settled at their dining table, pulling out his laptop to study. The hours passed, but his mind remained unfocused. He was trying to memorize photography techniques for his upcoming exams, but all he could think about was Taehyung and the warmth of his hugs.

Suddenly, his phone buzzed, jolting him from his thoughts. It was a message from Taehyung: Just landed! Can't wait to show you everything. You won't believe the view!

Jungkook felt a mix of excitement and annoyance. "Ugh, you're already having fun," he pouted, although a smile crept onto his face. He quickly typed back, Save me some fun for when you get back!

As the night deepened, Jungkook found himself restless. The bed felt too big without Taehyung beside him. He tossed and turned, the sheets wrapping around him like a cocoon, but it wasn't the same. Finally, he pulled out his phone again, scrolling through photos of them together to ease the ache in his heart.

The photo from their last date at the park caught his eye-a candid shot of them laughing, their hands intertwined. In that moment, he made a promise to himself: he would study hard, ace his exams, and when Taehyung returned, he would shower him with all the love and attention he had been missing.

The next few days felt like an eternity. Jungkook threw himself into his studies, determined to push aside the feelings of loneliness. He often found himself glancing at his phone, waiting for Taehyung's messages, each one a bright spot in his otherwise mundane days. Taehyung would send pictures of the beautiful beaches, the sun setting over the horizon, but Jungkook could only half-appreciate them without being there to experience it together.

Then came the inevitable video call. As soon as the screen lit up with Taehyung's face, Jungkook felt his heart race. "Taetae hyungie!" he exclaimed, excitement bubbling up despite the distance.

"Hey, my adorable bobba!" Taehyung beamed, and Jungkook felt a warmth spread through him. "You look so cute studying over there!"

"I'm trying to, but it's hard without you," Jungkook admitted, his fingers nervously playing with a loose thread on his shirt.

"Just a little longer, Kookie. I promise it'll all be worth it. And when I get back, we'll make up for all this time apart," Taehyung said, his voice filled with sincerity.

"I miss you," Jungkook confessed, his heart fluttering at the earnestness in Taehyung's eyes.

"I miss you too, more than you know. Just keep being the amazing fiance you are, and I'll bring back something special for you!" Taehyung winked, and Jungkook couldn't help but smile.

As they chatted, Jungkook felt the heaviness of his heart lifting. He realized that love wasn't just about being together physically; it was about the connection they shared, even across the distance. And when Taehyung returned, he was determined to make every moment count.
