Silence Between Us "In a world that owns their voices, their hearts are the only things left to fight for." As members of the world's most iconic group, Jin and Jungkook are used to living in the spotlight. But behind the polished choreography and record-breaking stadium tours lies a secret they've guarded for years: a love that the industry isn't prepared to handle. When the inevitable shadow of military enlistment threatens to tear them apart, the "Golden Maknae" and his "Worldwide Handsome" hyung must navigate a landscape of corporate betrayal, forced silence, and the agonizing distance of the barracks. From the sun-drenched cliffs of Malta to the cold, lonely nights in Gwacheon, they are forced to choose between the legacy they've built and the future they've promised each other in secret. As the company attempts to "manage" their hearts out of existence, Jin and Jungkook realize that playing by the rules will only lead to a life in a gilded cage. To be together, they must stop being the idols the world expects and become the architects of their own freedom. A story of sacrifice, strategic brilliance, and a love that refuses to be silenced.

Title: Taken for Granted Jin has always loved quietly - giving care, warmth, and protection without asking for anything back. Jungkook, confused and in denial of his own feelings, treats what they share as temporary comfort. What begins as curiosity turns into a secret relationship where love is one-sided and silence costs everything. When an unexpected pregnancy comes to light, Jin chooses to protect Jungkook by taking the blame alone. Only when Jin starts slipping away does Jungkook realize what he has taken for granted. ✨ Angst | Mpreg | Slow Burn | Jealousy | Redemption | Happy Ending ✨ --- ⚠️ Trigger Warnings Mpreg Emotional manipulation Internalized homophobia Angst & heartbreak Toxic dynamics (eventual redemption)

"It was never meant to last," Seokjin said quietly, like he was reminding himself more than anyone else. Jungkook nodded once. Slow. Controlled. As if he were agreeing to something that had always been true. "Right," he said. "A contract." He looked at Seokjin then-really looked at him-his expression carefully blank, eyes giving nothing away. "And somehow," he added softly, "we forgot to keep it just that." They'd been bound by decisions made long before either of them could refuse--called obligation, but sealed by fate. A marriage neither of them wanted, until wanting became the one thing they were never supposed to have.

One night is all it takes. A celebration turns into a blank space. A body in his bed that shouldn't be there. A love that suddenly stands on fragile ground. Jungkook doesn't remember what happened. However, the world is already sure it does. As secrets surface and truths are twisted, he must fight not only for his reputation, but for the man he loves... before the past destroys them both.

Tomorrow. The word echoed in his mind like a slow drumbeat. Tomorrow, Jungkook would get married. Not to him.

Give it a shot.

Jeon Seokjin has been married to Jeon Jungkook for seven years. Once, they were happy. Once, he believed love would last. But people change... And sometimes, the one you love forgets you ever mattered. When Seokjin discovers he's carrying their second child - while being treated like a burden in his own family - he chooses to walk away silently. Only when he is gone... will they realize he was the heart of their home.

Now that they met again in the military. Jin is Jungkook's superior, but Jungkook refuses to back down, despite the rank and superiority. Until the tension between them reached its boiling point, and Jungkook started doubting that maybe this is not just other competition and dislike. Maybe it was more than that.

A heart-wrenching, passionate story of love, heartbreak, and second chances - where fame, friendship, and forbidden desire collide.
