LOVE TURNED INTO HATE//Taekook ]vkook/ Taekookie

PART 16

It's started to get dark. The soft glow of the evening lights illuminated the house it's like 6:30, Taehyung's friends began to arrive. Jin stands on the door with a big smile on his face, welcomed them. While Taehyung is getting ready Jimin helped him.

Come on Jimin, don't put too much makeup, Taehyung says, laughing slightly as Jimin's hands moved deftly, accentuating his features.

Jimin chuckled and playfully rolled his eyes. "You want to look perfect for Jungkook, don't you?" he teased, as he carefully applied a light coat of lip gloss to Taehyung's lips.

Taehyung's cheeks flushed a soft pink as he playfully pushed Jimin's hand away, his eyes sparkling with embarrassment. "Shut up, Jimin," he whispered, trying to maintain a stern expression despite the amusement dancing in his eyes. "Jungkook loves me with or without makeup," Taehyung says with a confident smile. But his expression quickly turned thoughtful, a hint of concern creeping into his voice. "Talking about Jungkook, why didn't he message me?"

Oh i see you missed him already? Jimin jokes.

Taehyung's face lit up with a bright, fake smile, and he dramatically clutched his chest, his voice dripping with exaggerated sentiment. "How could you, Jimin? I'm perfectly fine... not missing him at all," he said, his eyes sparkling with amusement.

Jimin chuckled, "Look it's Jungkook."

"Where is he?" Taehyung's eyes scanned the room, his face falling as he realized Jungkook was nowhere to be found. He turned to Jimin, a mock-angry glint in his eye. "You're such a tease, Jimin," he said, laughing despite himself.

MEANWHILE.

The atmosphere downstairs was lively, with the guests chatting and laughing as they munched on the snacks and sipped their drinks. Jin, resplendent in his hosting attire, flitted from group to group, ensuring everyone had enough to eat and drink. "More kimchi, anyone?" he asked, his bright smile and charming demeanor putting everyone at ease.

Jimin message jin we're coming. Jin replied okay, and turned to the guest, OK everyone quite, Taehyung he's coming we're going to turn off the lights.

The guests nodded in excitement, and Jin gave a thumbs-up to Jimin, who was watching from the top of the stairs. With a mischievous grin, Jin called out, "Alright, let's get into position! Remember, complete silence!" The guests giggled and scrambled to get into place, eager to surprise Taehyung.

Jin turned off the lights, and the room was plunged into darkness, the only sound the collective held breath of the guests. Suddenly, Jimin's voice whispered from the stairs, "He's here..."

Jin turned on all the lights, and the guest shouted happy birthday Taehyung

Taehyung's eyes widened in shock as he stumbled down the stairs, a huge smile spreading across his face. He was met with a sea of smiling faces, all shouting "Happy Birthday!" in unison.

Taehyung's eyes welled up with tears as he listened to the guests singing "Happy Birthday" in perfect harmony. The sound of their voices, filled with warmth and sincerity, touched his heart deeply. He felt seen, loved, and appreciated by the people around him.His gaze swept across the room, scanning the sea of smiling faces, until his eyes finally landed on a familiar figure standing in the corner, a warm smile on his face.

Jungkook! Taehyung whispered.

Jungkook's smile grew wider as he made his way to Taehyung, his eyes locked on his. Taehyung's heart skipped a beat as Jungkook reached him, his hand brushing against Taehyung's as he leaned in to whisper "Happy Birthday" in his ear. The touch sent shivers down Taehyung's spine, and he couldn't help but smile, feeling grateful that they could share this moment together, even if it had to be in secret.
