A love beyond words

9

After the party, everything returned to normal, and everyone resumed their busy lives. Ji-Eun and Jungkook remained good friends, while Taehyung dove back into his office work.

However, one thing had changed – Taehyung made a conscious effort to prioritize his family. He started calling his mom every day, a habit he had neglected previously.

Earlier, his mom would call him every day, only to receive a brief message: "I'll call later." But now, Taehyung ensured their conversations were meaningful.

On the other hand, Jungkook had completed his song, after coming home from the party. When he returned home, he began writing a few lines, but before he knew it, the song was finished. And what a song it was – beautiful was an understatement.

In his studio, surrounded by his team, including Jimin, Jungkook prepared to record.

"Ready?" Jimin asked, adjusting the microphone.

Jungkook nodded, took a deep breath, and began singing:

"Oh! I haven't seen anyone more beautiful than you
Sun is too hot, even moon has scars
And stars are just rocks,
we were worthless, Roaming here and there in search of such beauty
Just one log of sandal defeated iron
Written on my arms, which I kiss as I see
A single letter of your name has made me forget everything else

People do not meet by choice, but by the grace of God
Connections and separations are all a game of destiny
Those who got separated from each other in this world
Don't know in which other world they meet again

Oh! I follow you to the end, then no matter if my feet hurt with stones
I never knew your love has strong chains
My hands and feet are held in the chains of your love

After getting separated from you, I will dry out and die
Just like how leaves fall off the branches"

As Jungkook finished singing, the room fell silent, mesmerized.

"Wow, Kook," Jimin whispered, eyes wide. "This is incredible."

Jungkook smiled, relieved. "Thanks, Jimin hyung."

Their producer, impressed, nodded. "This song is a masterpiece. Different from your previous work, but amazing."

Jungkook's team erupted into applause, congratulating him.

"This song is special," Jungkook said, his voice filled with emotion. "It came from the heart."

After the party, Jungkook and Taehyung hadn't had the chance to meet, and Ji-Eun hadn't seen either of them. Earlier, she and Taehyung would meet at his mansion, a gift from his father when he became Chairman of Kim Corporation. He only visited the mansion with Ji-Eun or his secretary.

Today, Ji-Eun called Taehyung, longing for their quality time together. Usually, her boyfriend accompanied her to Taehyung's place, but he was currently out of the country. It had been a month since the event, so she decided to invite Jungkook instead.

Taehyung, already in bed, answered the late-night call. "Hello, Ji-Eun, why call so late?"

"I've missed you, Taehyung! It's been a month since the party, and we haven't met. Can we catch up tomorrow?" Ji-Eun asked excitedly.

Taehyung sighed. "Fine, I'm free tomorrow evening. Come at 6:00 pm. Now, good night."

Just as Taehyung was about to hang up, Ji-Eun shouted, "Wait, hold on!"

Taehyung's irritation seeped into his voice. "What now?"

"Actually, my boyfriend isn't here. Can I come with Jungkook? He's a really good friend and a nice guy," Ji-Eun requested.

Taehyung replied instantly, "I don't know him that well, and he isn't really a friend of mine. And he must be busy, Ji-Eun," he said calmly, his brow furrowed.

But Ji-Eun persisted, "Please, Taehyung, and he's already the face of your new brand. You should try to get to know him better or befriend him. It will benefit you both in the future."

Taehyung's thoughts drifted back to the event's night and his conversation with Jungkook. He recalled the genuine connection they shared.

"Hmm, maybe Ji-Eun's right," Taehyung thought.

"Fine, you can bring him," Taehyung conceded. "But don't be late."

Ji-Eun's excitement was palpable. "Thank you, Taehyung! I won't."

Taehyung smiled wryly. "Good night, Ji-Eun."

"Good night," Ji-Eun replied, before Taehyung hung up the call.

Ji-Eun quickly dialed Jungkook's number, and he answered promptly, concern etched in his voice. "Noona, is everything okay? You're calling so late."

"Guess what, Jungkook?" Ji-Eun exclaimed, her excitement infectious.

Jungkook smiled, calming his initial worry. "What is it, Noona?"

"We're going to Taehyung's place tomorrow!" Ji-Eun announced. "I really wanted to meet him, and I thought, since you're  the face of his brand, you should befriended him too. It'll be beneficial for both of you."

Jungkook's nerves kicked in. "I don't think Mr. Kim would like me to be there with you."

Ji-Eun's tone turned playful. "I already called him, and he said yes. Now, you're coming with me tomorrow. I'll pick you up at 5 pm. Be ready, if you're free."

Jungkook glanced at Jimin, who nodded in agreement.

"I'm free, Noona. I'll come with you," Jungkook said.

Ji-Eun squealed. "Perfect! Then sleep now. Good night, Jungkook."

"Good night, Noona," Jungkook replied, smiling.

As they hung up, Jimin raised an eyebrow. "You're really going to Mr.kim's place?"

Jungkook nodded. "Looks like it."

Jimin chuckled and both males went to their room to sleep.
