THE UNWANTED IDOL

Jungkook's gaze snapped to Taehyung, a flicker of exasperation in his eyes. He shook his head, the silent accusation hanging heavy in the air. "Seriously? Why am I even friends with you?" The disappointment was a palpable thing, thick enough to cut with a knife.

Taehyung's smirk was slow and deliberate, a wicked glint in his eyes. "Then how about we upgrade that friendship?" he purred, leaning closer. "Boyfriend?"

The pillow, launched with surprising force, caught Taehyung squarely in the chest. "Get. Out," Jungkook growled, his face flushed with anger, quickly giving way to a blush of something warmer.

Their history was a tapestry woven with laughter and shared secrets, two best friends whose bond deepened into something far more profound. Inseparable, their connection was a silent language spoken through a shared glance, a touch, the way they instinctively knew what the other was thinking. But a scandalous video leak threatened to expose their carefully guarded love.

Their secret, precious and fragile, was no longer safe. Now, faced with the impending storm of a public scandal, would they surrender to the pressure of maintaining their perfect public image, or fight for their love? Would ambition drown the embers of their passion, or would they defy the odds, battling betrayal and the unforgiving demands of their careers for a future where both their hearts and their careers could thrive?
