Chapter 5: The Revelation

It didn't take long for the rest of the members to notice. At first, it was little things—a lingering touch, a shared glance, the way they seemed to gravitate toward each other even when the others were around. And then one day, while they were all sitting together in the living room, Jimin looked between them, his gaze sharp.

"Hyung," he said, his voice playful but knowing, "you two have been acting a little... different lately. What's going on?"

V and Jungkook froze, caught off guard by the question. There was a brief moment of silence before Jungkook spoke up, his voice steady.

"We're together," he said simply, his gaze not leaving V's.

The room was silent for a moment as the other members processed his words. But then, to their surprise, Jin stood up with a grin.

"Well, about time! We all knew you two were way too obvious."

Jimin laughed, clapping Jungkook on the back. "I knew it! You guys have been flirting for months."

Suga rolled his eyes but smiled in his own way. "At least it's out in the open now."

And just like that, the tension that had weighed so heavily

on V and Jungkook seemed to dissipate. They were no longer hiding, no longer afraid to be who they were.
