Hey baby girlllllzzzzzzzzz pArt 2 out yay
[Scene 1: Jimin’s Apartment – Late Evening]
The dim glow of the city lights spills through Jimin’s window, casting shadows across his apartment. He’s lying on his couch with Soojin, the girl he met at the bar, nestled close to him. The room is filled with the quiet hum of music, the tension between them thick and electric.
Soojin: (trailing her fingers along his jawline, smiling)
“You’re trouble, you know that?”
Jimin: (smirking, his eyes dark and unreadable)
“Only if you want me to be.”
They lean into each other, their lips meeting in a heated kiss. Jimin’s hands roam her back as they pull each other closer, the room filled with whispers and soft laughter. But as they kiss, there’s a fleeting moment where Jimin’s eyes glaze over, his mind drifting somewhere else. He’s here physically, but something in his expression hints at the emptiness underneath.
Jimin (V.O.):
"It’s all a game. A temporary escape. Love is just another mask, and tonight, she’s just another piece in my collection."
[Scene 2: Jungkook’s Bedroom – Same Night]
In stark contrast to Jimin’s seemingly charmed life, Jungkook sits alone in his dimly lit bedroom, an untouched glass of water by his side. The silence is deafening. He’s just had another fight with his parents—another night of relentless comparisons to his adopted brother, Seokjin. His shoulders are tense, his head hanging low.
Flashback – Earlier That Evening
Jungkook’s mother, standing with a disappointed expression, coldly stares at him as his father speaks.
Father:
"Why can’t you be more like Seokjin? Look at him—successful, respected, everything we wanted. And you? Always falling short."
Mother:
"Maybe if you’d just tried harder, you wouldn’t be in this position. Do you ever think about what you’re doing with your life, Jungkook?"
Jungkook’s jaw tightens, holding back the pain and anger welling up inside him. He’s heard these words so often they almost feel normal, but tonight, something inside him cracks.
Flashback Ends.
Back in his room, Jungkook stares at his reflection in a mirror on his wall, a tear sliding down his cheek as he slams his fist onto his desk. The pain of rejection, of feeling like an outsider in his own family, finally breaks through his usual guarded demeanor.
Jungkook (whispering to himself):
"I’m trying...I’m trying so hard, but it’s never enough."
He grabs his jacket, needing air, and leaves the house. He walks aimlessly through the empty streets, trying to bury his emotions, until he reaches a quiet park. He sits down on a bench, his hands covering his face, the weight of everything crashing down on him.
[Scene 3: Park Bench – Moments Later]
A soft voice interrupts his despair.
Stranger Girl:
“Hey... are you okay?”
Jungkook looks up, surprised to see a girl standing in front of him. Her gaze is gentle, full of genuine concern, as if she’s seen a similar kind of pain before.
Jungkook: (trying to brush it off, his voice shaky)
“Yeah... just a rough night.”
The girl sits beside him, giving him space but not leaving. She offers a small smile, her presence calm and soothing.
Stranger Girl:
“Sometimes it helps to talk. But if not... I’m okay just sitting here too.”
They sit in silence, Jungkook feeling an unfamiliar sense of comfort. He glances at her, noting the quiet strength in her expression. For the first time in a long while, he feels seen, like someone truly understands.
Jungkook (V.O.):
"I don’t even know her name, but... why does it feel like she can see right through me?"
[Scene 4: Kim Taehyung’s Family Home – Living Room]
Meanwhile, Taehyung is at home with his family. His brother, Namjoon, has just returned for the weekend, and his parents are eagerly listening to Namjoon talk about his business studies and plans.
Mother: (smiling proudly)
“Oh, Namjoon, we’re so proud of you. Always working so hard, making us proud.”
Taehyung sits silently across from them, watching the exchange. Though his parents love him equally, he can’t shake the feeling of always being second, the shadow of his high-achieving brother looming over him.
Father: (glancing at Taehyung)
“So, Tae, any plans for what’s next? Maybe you could learn a thing or two from Namjoon.”
Taehyung forces a smile, masking the frustration building within him.
Taehyung (V.O.):
"They love me, I know they do... but it’s like I’ll always be in his shadow. No matter how hard I try, it’s never enough to stand on my own."
Namjoon: (noticing Taehyung’s discomfort, pats his shoulder)
“Tae, don’t worry. You’ll figure it out in your own way. I believe in you, little bro.”
Despite Namjoon’s support, Taehyung feels a pang of resentment. He excuses himself and heads to his room, slumping onto his bed, lost in thought.
[Scene 5: Taehyung’s Bedroom]
Taehyung stares at the ceiling, lost in a mix of jealousy and admiration for Namjoon. He doesn’t hate his brother, but he despises the feeling of inadequacy that being around him brings.
Taehyung (V.O.):
"Why does it always feel like I’m reaching for something I’ll never touch? Maybe that’s why I keep pushing everything away... it’s easier to live like it doesn’t matter."
[Scene 6: Park – Early Morning]
The sun begins to rise, casting a soft light over the park where Jungkook still sits with the stranger girl. She hands him a small napkin to wipe his eyes, a simple but kind gesture that makes him feel a strange warmth.
Stranger Girl:
“I don’t know what you’re going through, but... remember, you’re not alone. Sometimes, we just need someone who can sit beside us, no questions asked.”
Jungkook smiles faintly, nodding.
Jungkook: (whispering)
“Thank you... I didn’t realize how much I needed this.”
He looks at her, feeling a spark of curiosity, but before he can ask her name, she stands up, giving him one last smile before she walks away into the soft morning light.
Narrator (V.O.):
"In moments of pain, sometimes all it takes is a stranger’s kindness to remind us we’re human. And for three broken souls, this realization will change everything they thought they knew about love and life."
