Love or Destiny

A Heart He Refused to See

As soon as Jisoo disappeared upstairs to change, Taehyung's eyes instinctively shifted to Jungkook.

And there he was...staring.

Not just looking. Staring.

At her.

Something about it irritated Taehyung instantly.

"What the fuck are you looking at?" he called out, his tone sharper than he intended.

Jungkook didn't even flinch. Instead, he turned to him calmly.

"Are you really going to divorce her?"

The question caught Taehyung off guard.

"I—yeah..." he hesitated, then nodded. "Yes."

Jungkook studied him for a second, then simply said, "Good."

Taehyung's brows furrowed.

"What do you mean by good?"

Jungkook smirked faintly, already walking away.

"Nothing. I'm going to change."

And just like that, he left, leaving behind a strange uneasiness in Taehyung's chest.

Taehyung watched him go... and then suddenly noticed...

He was heading toward Jisoo's room.

"WAIT!" he called or rather shouted, stopping him midway.

"That's Jisoo's room," he added, trying to sound casual. "I'll show you yours."

Jungkook nodded but the faint smile on his lips didn't sit right with him.

The party began not long after.

Everyone had gathered. Music filled the house. Laughter echoed through the halls.

Jungkook blended in easily and Taehyung introduced him to everyone.

But then, she came.

Jisoo.

And for a moment...everything else faded.

She looked—No, she was...breathtaking.

The soft glow of the lights fell perfectly on her skin. Her dress hugged her figure, ending just above her knees, her shoulders bare.

Too bare.

Taehyung's jaw tightened.

He glanced at Jungkook and just as he thought, Jungkook was staring at her too.

That asshole...

He clenched his fist, looking away.

As the party continued, he couldn't help but notice something else.

Jungkook and Jisoo. Talking. Laughing.

And Jisoo...

She was smiling.

A genuine smile.

For some reason, that irritated him even more.

What are they talking about?

Did he tell her something funny?

Why is she smiling at him?

Without thinking, he walked straight toward them.

But no.

She didn't look upset.

She looked...happy.
