LOVE TURNED INTO HATE//Taekook ]vkook/ Taekookie

PART 7

It's Saturday. Jungkook was still sleeping, his gentle breathing a soothing rhythm, when his phone suddenly buzzed on the nightstand.

He groggily opened his eyes, rubbing the sleep away, and reached for the phone.

As he unlocked the screen, a message from an unknown number caught his attention:

"Hi, Kookie. Are you still sleeping?"

A soft smile spread across Jungkook's face. He already knew who owned that number.

Jungkook sent, "You miss me already?"

Taehyung replied, "No, I mean... yes."

Jungkook chuckled.

"I miss you too, my tae tae. Are you still sleeping?"

Taehyung replied, "Yes, but I'm about to wake up. I'm going to help my dad do laundry. We do it every Saturday."

"Can I call you? I want to hear your voice already" - Jungkook sent to Taehyung

Taehyung replied, "Yes.

Jungkook called Taehyung, the phone ringing several times before being answered.

Taehyung's heart skipped a beat as he hesitated, unsure what to say. After seconds of deliberation, he picked up.

"Hello?" Taehyung's voice was laced with a hint of shyness.

"Morning," Jungkook said, his tone warm and soothing.

Taehyung's cheeks flushed. "Morning, Kookie."

Jungkook chuckled, sensing Taehyung's nervousness. "Sleep well?"

"Y-yes," Taehyung stuttered, regaining composure.

The line went silent for a moment, filled only by the sound of their gentle breathing.

"I miss you," Jungkook broke the silence, his voice barely above a whisper.

Taehyung's heart fluttered. "I miss you too, Kookie."

Jungkook whispered to Taehyung, "I'm falling in love with you."

Taehyung's voice softened. "Kookie..."

Jungkook's emotion filled every word. "Tae, I can't stop thinking about you."

Taehyung's voice trembled. "Same here, Kookie. I miss you."

Jungkook's gentle laugh warmed the phone line. "Even when we just spoke yesterday?"

Taehyung chuckled. "Yes, even then."

"I love you so much, Tae. Thank you for giving me a chance to be your boyfriend. I promise you won't regret it." Jungkook says.

Taehyung's whispered confession hung in the air, "I love you too..." But before he could finish, his dad, burst into his room, concern etched on his face. "Who's that you love too, Tae?"

Taehyung's cheeks flushed crimson as he stuttered, "D-dad, it's... uh... just a friend."

Jin's raised eyebrow conveyed skepticism. "A friend? At this hour? Over the phone?"

Taehyung hesitated, unsure how to escape the interrogation.

Summoning courage, he replied, "Yes, Dad, it's Jimin. He was waking up. We joke around when we say we love each other."

Jin's expression softened, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "You boys and your inside jokes, huh?" He chuckled. "Just be careful, okay?"

Taehyung exhaled relief as Jin left his room.
