Chapter 71

The low hum of the car engine filled the quiet night as Taehyung pulled onto the highway, leaving behind the sprawling villa he had called home for the past few weeks. The city lights of Seoul twinkled in the distance, and despite the long drive ahead, he couldn't suppress the giddy feeling bubbling inside him.

The moment he was on the open road, he grabbed his phone, quickly connecting it to the car's Bluetooth.

It rang twice before Namjoon picked up, his voice groggy but alert. "Tae? You'd better have a good reason for calling this late."

Before Taehyung could answer, Yoongi's voice—gruffer and lazier—muttered, "If this is another 'I love Jungkook so much' call, I'm hanging up."

Taehyung grinned, unfazed. "Hyungs, I'm coming back to Seoul."

There was a pause before Namjoon asked, "Wait, for real?"

"Yeah, I just left. I'll be there in a few hours. We're meeting tomorrow morning, so clear your schedules," Taehyung declared.

Yoongi let out a dramatic sigh. "And what, pray tell, is the urgent topic of discussion? Or should I just assume it's about our dear brother in law?"

Taehyung smirked. "Of course, it's about Jungkook. What else would I want to talk about?"

Namjoon groaned. "Unbelievable. He's really down bad, Yoongi."

Yoongi scoffed. "More like buried six feet under. This guy used to be untouchable, and now he sounds like a lovesick teenager."

"I am a lovesick teenager," Taehyung admitted shamelessly, his voice practically glowing with happiness. "Hyungs, I love him so fucking much. Like, I didn't even know I could love someone this way."

"Oh god, here we go," Yoongi muttered.

"No, listen," Taehyung pressed on, undeterred. "I swear, I think about him all the time. I wake up missing him, I fall asleep thinking about him. Every little thing he does makes me crazy. The way he bites his lip when he's nervous, how he gets all shy when I flirt with him but still leans into me anyway. And don't even get me started on his laugh, hyungs. It's like—like the best fucking sound in the world."

Namjoon chuckled. "You're so whipped it's actually painful to listen to."

Yoongi hummed in agreement. "Yeah. Honestly, if  brother in law  doesn't marry you, I'm kidnapping him for real. You're embarrassing at this point."

Taehyung heard the unsaid warning in his tone. He knew yoongi would. Hell even he would? Who was he even kidding? 

Taehyung just laughed, his heart swelling at the thought of him . "I don't even care. I want to be embarrassing. I want to love him openly, shout it from rooftops. But..."

His voice softened, and the excitement in his tone dimmed, which didnt get unnoticed by them, "he is  scared, hyungs. Really scared."

Namjoon picked up on the shift immediately, his tone darkening "Because of his brothers?"

"Yeah." Taehyung exhaled, gripping the steering wheel a little tighter. "Jin hyung and Jae-hyung still don't know about me. And it's eating Jungkook up inside. I can see it, hear it in his voice every time they call him. He loves them, but they're... intense. Protective. Traditional."

They realized how Taehyung called them hyung, how he is slowly changing , improving you must say for jungkook

Not mentioning it Yoongi spoke his voice was sharp now, serious. "Do you think they'll have a problem with you?"

Taehyung let out a humorless chuckle. " what do you think ? huh?"

"I am Kim Taehyung. The notorious and the rebellious one of the Kims.  Of course they wouldnt like the fact that their precious little one is mine."

Knowing and understating well what taehyung mentioned, 

Namjoon sighed. "So, what's your plan?"

"I don't have one yet," Taehyung admitted. "But I don't want Jungkook to feel like he has to fight this alone. If they're going to be mad, I'd rather they be mad at me than him."

Yoongi was silent for a moment before he said, "Well, that's not happening."

Taehyung blinked. "What?"

Namjoon's voice was firm. "Jungkook's our brother-in-law. We're not letting you fight this alone. If his brothers have a problem, we'll deal with it together."

Yoongi snorted. "Yeah. I mean, we are the sons of some of the most powerful politicians in the country. And if deemed necessary we need to show them that."

Taehyung felt warmth spread through his chest. "You guys would do that?"

"Idiot," Yoongi muttered. "You think we'd let you crash and burn on your own? As if you dont know us well." he smirked

Namjoon hummed in agreement. "Besides, it's not like we haven't handled stubborn people before. If Jeon  brothers want to act tough, they haven't met us yet."

Taehyung laughed, relief flooding through him. "God, I love you guys."

"We know," Namjoon teased. "Now stop worrying. We've got your back."

Yoongi added, "And for the love of god, don't crash your car because you're too busy thinking about brother in law's smile or whatever."

Taehyung rolled his eyes but smiled nonetheless. "Noted, hyung."

As he drove toward Seoul, a newfound sense of confidence settled in his chest. With Namjoon and Yoongi by his side, he was ready to fight for Jungkook.

Because love like this?

It was worth everything.
