Episode 18

In the evening, Jungkook approached Jin and Namjoon to ask for permission. After a brief conversation, they nodded, and Jungkook gently took Taehyung’s hand, leading him outside.

As they walked to the house, Taehyung frowned.
Tae: "Jungkook, what’s the hurry? Can’t we stay here?"

Jungkook glanced at him, his gaze soft but firm.
Jungkook: "Taehyung, listen… I want to spend time with you. Just us. And besides, your parents live close by."

Taehyung: *sighed* "Hmm… okay,"

Soon, they arrived at the Jeon family home. Taehyung hesitated for a moment before opening the door and stepping inside with Jungkook right behind him.

Just as he was about to head to the house, the lights suddenly dimmed. Confused, he turned around, only to hear soft music filling the room—his favourite song.

🎶Kiss me once and kiss me twice and kiss me Once again...🎵

Then,  Jungkook appeared from the hallway, holding a bouquet of roses and a warm smile on his face.

Tae: "What's going on?" *laughing softly in surprise*

Jungkook: *wispered* "Shhh, Just wait."
*handing him the flowers*

Before Taehyung could ask more, he gently took his hand and led him to the living room, where a trail of rose petals was spread across the floor.

Taehyung gasped when he saw the dining table, transformed into a candlelit dinner setup. His favourite dishes were laid out, and fairy lights twinkled in the background, casting a soft glow across the room.

Jungkook: "Surprise," *his voice tender as he pulled out a chair for him*

Tae: "How did you... when did you do all this?" *completely stunned*

Jungkook: "I wanted to do something special for you. You've been suffering so much since the time of our marriage, and I thought you deserved a little surprise."

He could feel tears of joy brimming in his eyes.
Tae: "You’re amazing... this is perfect."

As they began their meal, Jungkook pulled out a small box from his pocket.
Jungkook: "One more surprise,"

Taehyung eyes widened as he opened the box to find a beautiful necklace with a delicate pendant, engraved with their initials and a tiny heart.

Jungkook: "I thought you’d like a little reminder of us, no matter where you are."

Taehyung smiled through his tears, overwhelmed by his thoughtfulness.
Tae: "I love it... and I love you."

He leaned forward, cupping his face gently. Jungkook: "I love you too. You deserve the world."

Taehyung’s eyes lowered, guilt weighing heavily on his heart.

Tae: *tears* "I did something wrong to you, Why are you so sweet to me?"

Jungkook tilted his head, a soft smile playing on his lips.

Jungkook: *gently* "What’s wrong?"

Tae: *hesitated* "I... I loved someone else, and…"

Jungkook took a step closer, his voice calm and steady.

Jungkook: *gaze softened* "And I love you, You’re with me now. That’s the difference. That’s the reality. I won your heart. You missed me, didn’t you?"

Taehyung’s cheeks flushed, his heart swelling with warmth. He couldn’t deny it.

Jungkook noticed the blush and chuckled softly.

Jungkook: *murmured* "Just one kiss, Can I have just one kiss?" *leaned in*

Taehyung’s blush deepened, but he nodded shyly.

Grinning, Jungkook leaned in and pressed a soft, chaste kiss to his lips. He pulled back slightly, his eyes crinkling with a smile.
"Just one," he repeated.

Before Taehyung could say anything, Jungkook leaned in again, giving him a quick, soft peck.
"And another," Jungkook whispered, his grin widening.

Taehyung laughed softly, shaking his head.
Tae: "Stop it now." *his face fully flushed*

Jungkook raised his hands in mock surrender.

Jungkook: "Okay, okay, I’ll behave... for now."

He mimed, zipping his lips shut, and threw away an imaginary key, making Taehyung laugh again.

A moment of silence passed before Jungkook asked.
Jungkook: "So, where should we go for our honeymoon?"

Taehyung’s eyes lit up. "Venice..."

Jungkook: *nodded approvingly* "Good choice. But first, let’s go for ice cream."

Taking Taehyung’s hand, Jungkook led him to the car. He opened the passenger door, helping him in before sliding into the driver’s seat with a content smile.

Minho sat at a corner table in the dimly lit ice parlour, his eyes fixed on Taehyung and Jungkook at the opposite end of the room. He watched as Jungkook gently fed Taehyung, their soft smiles and shared laughter filling the space between them. Minho’s chest tightened, a surge of jealousy clawing at his insides.

Minho (to himself): "Why am I so jealous...?"

Unable to bear the sight any longer, Minho abruptly stood up and left. His footsteps led him straight to a nearby bar.

The night deepened, and so did the contents of his glass. Minho sat slumped at the counter, the scent of alcohol heavy in the air.

J-Hope, noticing Minho’s dishevelled state, approached him.
J-Hope: "What’s up, Minho? You’ve been drinking non-stop."

Minho sighed, his eyes glassy and distant.

Minho (drunkenly): "I love Taehyung... I hurt him... I played with his feelings. I’m a bad guy... a really bad guy."

J-Hope sighed, resting a hand on Minho’s shoulder.
J-Hope: "Listen, Minho. You need to let it go. Don’t interfere in his life. He’s married now."

Minho’s grip tightened around his glass.
Minho: "I want him... at any cost."

J-Hope’s voice hardened.
J-Hope: "You’re drunk. You’re not thinking straight."

Minho stared into the swirling liquid in his glass, lost in thought.
