Later on the flight:
Jungkook looked at Y/N. She was staring out of the window as Paris slowly disappeared under the clouds.
Jungkook: "Are you okay?"
Y/N: "Hmm? Yeah… I'm just thinking."
Jungkook (smiling): "Thinking about Taehyung?"
She looked at him, a little surprised.
Y/N: "No… I'm thinking about life. Everything changes so fast."Jungkook (soft laugh): "Change isn't always bad, Y/N. Maybe this trip is the beginning of your real story."
She gave him a small but real smile and looked back at the sky.Somewhere inside her, a small voice said Jungkook might be right.
But she didn't know…
Back in Seoul, Taehyung was standing in his office, looking at her empty desk, realizing that letting her go might be the hardest thing he ever did.
The plane moved smoothly through the clouds. Paris was far behind now.Y/N sat quietly by the window, thinking deeply. She listened to her own unreleased songs — every line full of her memories… her pain, her love, her changes.
Beside her, Jungkook was editing one of her demo songs on his laptop. He was focused and calm, and that somehow made her feel safe.
Jungkook (still working): "Hey, this song — 'Falling Through Time' — you wrote it in Seoul, right?"
Y/N (soft smile): "Yeah… but I never released it."
Jungkook: "Why not?"
Y/N: "It felt too personal."
Jungkook (gently): "Maybe now it's time for the world to hear your story."
She looked at him and smiled.Jungkook always knew exactly what to say.
New York City — Two Days Later
The weather was colder than Paris, but the city felt warmer — fast, bright, full of dreams.Huge billboards were glowing, taxis were honking, and people were rushing everywhere.Y/N stepped out of the black car, the city lights shining in her eyes.
Jungkook (grinning): "Welcome to New York, superstar."
Y/N (laughing): "Superstar? I'm only beginning, JK."
Jungkook: "Then we'll make sure you shine."
They walked into the studio. Music played from every room.Producers were moving around, and sound engineers were checking microphones.
Then the door opened —Jin, the famous K-pop singer (and Y/N & JK's close friend), walked in with a bright smile.
Jin: "Ah, Y/N! Finally! Jungkook talks about you all the time. Let's create something unforgettable today."
Y/N (nervous laugh): "I'll try not to disappoint you, Jin-ssi."
Jin: "No formal words. Just Jin, Y/naa."
Y/N: "Okay, Jinuuu."
When Y/N entered the recording booth, the whole studio became quiet.The soft piano began, and her voice filled the room — gentle, emotional, but powerful.
Every note felt like a story.By the end of the song, even the sound engineers looked shocked in a good way.
Jin (impressed): "You weren't lying, Jungkook. She really has magic."
Jungkook (proud): "I told you. She sings like she's speaking her truth."
A few months later…
The song became viral.Then the whole album became famous.Interviews, magazines, talk shows — everyone wanted to know about the new mysterious singer who sang from her heart.
And then came the biggest night — The Global Music Awards in New York City.
The hall was bright with lights. Cameras flashed everywhere.Celebrities filled the seats, reporters whispered excitedly.
When they announced:
"Best Debut Artist of the Year — Y/N!"
She froze for a moment.She couldn't believe it.
Jungkook gently nudged her.
Jungkook: "Go. It's your moment."
She walked onto the stage.The spotlight followed her.The audience stood up and clapped loudly.Tears filled her eyes as she took the golden trophy.
Y/N (voice shaking): "This award… it's not just mine. It's for everyone who believed in me when I didn't believe in myself. Thank you… truly."
Everyone cheered.
Jin walked up on stage and hugged her warmly.Cameras clicked nonstop.
And in that emotional moment, Y/N kissed Jin on the cheek —a simple, thankful kiss.
But the next morning, it became huge news everywhere:
"Y/N and Jin — The Kiss That Shocked the Industry!"
"Is There More Than Music Between Them?"
Backstage, later that night;
Jungkook: "You were amazing up there, Y/N."
Y/N (still shocked): "It feels unreal… like I'm dreaming."
Jungkook: "You deserve all of this."
She looked at him — his soft eyes, his steady support, always beside her.
Y/N: "I couldn't have done this without you."
Jungkook (grinning): "Maybe not. But you would've tried anyway. That's what I like about you."
Her heart jumped, but she quickly looked away and laughed.
Y/N: "You're impossible, JK."
Jungkook (smiling): "And you're unstoppable."
Later that night
Y/N stood on the hotel balcony, the New York skyline shining bright in front of her.Her golden trophy stood beside her.
She realized something…
She was no longer the girl who hid in her boss's shadow.She had become her own light.
The kiss with Jin was just a small moment — a happy, grateful gesture —but the world had already turned it into a love story.
Y/N whispered softly to herself:
"Maybe… this is just the beginning of who I'm meant to be."
Inside the room, Jungkook was already editing her next song —a song that would soon break every record.
Back in Seoul
Taehyung's penthouse was quiet, the only light coming from the TV.He had stayed awake late just to watch Y/N's big moment.
Her smile on the screen made his heart feel warm…until he saw that moment.
The kiss.
He froze.His chest felt tight. His jaw locked.His hands curled into fists as the news replayed the clip again and again.
Without even thinking, he called her.
Ring… Ring… Ring…
No answer.
He tried again.And again.
Still nothing.
His throat tightened.Anger mixed with something deeper… something that hurt more — jealousy.
Taehyung (softly): "You didn't even think how this would look… Y/N…"
He threw his phone onto the couch and leaned back, covering his face with his hands.
