[Scene 1: A Surprise Confrontation – Jungkook and His Parents]
It’s a quiet evening, and Jungkook walks through the front door, hoping for a moment of peace. But he’s greeted by his father, who stands waiting with an unreadable expression, his mother by his side.
Father: (sternly)
"Jungkook, we need to talk."
Jungkook glances at his mother, noticing her nervous gaze as she avoids eye contact.
Jungkook: (sighing)
"What is it now?"
Father:
"We know about Y/N. And I thought we were clear on what we expected from you."
Jungkook’s heart sinks, a flash of frustration crossing his face.
Jungkook:
"I already told you—she’s not just some distraction. She’s… important to me."
His mother steps forward, her voice soft but pleading.
Mother:
"Jungkook, we’re only trying to protect you. A relationship like this… it won’t lead to anything good. You’re supposed to be preparing for your future, not getting wrapped up in a girl."
He feels a pang of hurt at her words, the one person he thought might understand choosing to stand with his father.
Jungkook: (voice breaking slightly)
"Why can’t you both understand? I don’t want the life you’ve planned for me. I want to make my own choices, live my own life. And Y/N… she’s the one person who makes me feel like I can."
His father’s face hardens, his voice cold.
Father:
"Then maybe you should consider what you’re willing to give up. Because if you insist on this… don’t expect our support."
Jungkook’s eyes flicker with pain, his heart heavy as he realizes how little they’re willing to accept him for who he truly is.
Jungkook:
"Fine. If I have to choose between living a life of your expectations or finding happiness on my own… I choose my happiness."
With that, he storms out of the house, feeling the weight of his family’s disappointment pressing down on him.
[Scene 2: Finding Solace – Jungkook and Y/N Meet in the Park]
Later that night, Jungkook calls Y/N, needing her comfort more than ever. They meet at their favorite spot in the park, under the stars.
Y/N: (seeing the distress in his face, she gently takes his hand)
"What happened?"
Jungkook looks down, taking a deep breath before speaking.
Jungkook:
"My parents… they told me I have to choose. It’s either you or them."
Y/N’s heart breaks for him, seeing the pain he’s carrying. She pulls him into a tight hug, wanting to ease his burden.
Y/N: (whispering)
"I’m so sorry, Jungkook. I never wanted to come between you and your family."
He pulls back slightly, his hand gently brushing a strand of hair away from her face.
Jungkook:
"It’s not your fault. It’s mine for finally standing up for what I want."
They share a bittersweet smile, finding solace in each other’s arms, both knowing this path won’t be easy.
[Scene 3: Jimin’s Struggle – Finding the Lost Cat]
Meanwhile, Jimin is wandering the city streets, looking for his cat, Dick. His worry grows as he searches, calling out into the night.
Jimin: (under his breath, frustrated)
"Where are you, little guy?"
Finally, he spots a familiar fluffy tail near a dumpster, and his heart leaps with relief. He crouches down, extending his hand.
Jimin:
"There you are, Dick. You had me worried sick."
He scoops up the cat, hugging him tightly, feeling a rush of emotions. Dick nuzzles him, purring softly, as if sensing his owner’s anxiety.
Jimin lets out a shaky breath, feeling grateful for this one creature that gives him a sense of comfort amidst the turmoil.
[Scene 4: An Unexpected Meeting – Taehyung and Minji in the Library]
Taehyung decides to clear his mind by going to the library. As he browses the shelves, he notices Minji sitting at a table, deeply engrossed in a book.
Without thinking, he approaches her, tapping her shoulder. She looks up, surprised but smiling when she sees him.
Taehyung: (smirking slightly)
"Fancy seeing you here."
Minji: (chuckling)
"Could say the same to you."
They share a quiet moment together, their conversation flowing naturally as if they’ve known each other far longer than they actually have. The connection between them feels effortless, and for the first time in a while, Taehyung feels a spark of warmth.
Taehyung: (softly, almost to himself)
"Maybe this day wasn’t so bad after all."
Minji tilts her head, smiling at him, and for the first time, he starts to wonder if this stranger is meant to become something more.
[Scene 5: Late Night Calls – Y/N and Jungkook]
Later that night, Y/N and Jungkook are back in their separate rooms, yet they stay on the phone, comforting each other with quiet words.
Y/N: (gently)
"Remember, no matter what happens… I’m here, Jungkook."
Jungkook:
"I know. And that’s all I need right now."
They fall asleep on the call together, the warmth of their shared connection wrapping around them as they drift off, prepared to face whatever comes next.
