He wasn't with the girl this time — he had left her with her friends. His expression was calm, but his eyes carried something heavier.
Taehyung: "Y/n, can we talk?" You hesitated, then nodded.
You walked together toward the quieter side of the courtyard. The music was faint there, the air cooler.
Taehyung: "I saw you earlier. You looked… upset."
Y/n:avoiding his gaze "I wasn't upset. Just… surprised."
Taehyung:gently "No. You were upset. And I need you to know… I never meant to hurt you."
Y/n:voice trembling "I don't love you like that, Tae. But I thought… I thought you'd always be close to me. I got used to it. And now you're with her, and I feel like I lost something."
Taehyung sighed, his voice soft.
Taehyung: "You didn't lose me. You're still my friend. That won't change. But… I couldn't hide my feelings for her. I had to be honest. You understand that, right?"
Y/n:quietly "I do. But it still hurts."
He placed a hand gently on your shoulder.
Taehyung: "You'll always matter to me, Y/n. Just… in a different way now."
From across the courtyard, Jungkook had been watching.
He saw Taehyung's hand on your shoulder, saw the closeness, saw your tears.
His jaw tightened, his fists clenched. He muttered under his breath: "She cries for him again. And he comforts her. When will she see me?"
Back near the stage, Sol Hee pulled you into a hug when you returned.
Sol Hee: "Did he explain?"
Y/n: sniffling "Yes. He said I didn't lose him. But it feels like I did."
Sol Hee: "You didn't. You just… need to see who's really here for you."
Jungkook walked past, his eyes locking on yours.
He didn't say anything, but the look was sharp, almost burning. You felt it — the jealousy, the frustration, the unspoken words.
That night, lying in bed, you replayed everything.
Taehyung's gentle words, his hand on your shoulder, his promise of friendship. Your tears, Sol Hee's comfort, Jungkook's piercing stare.
You whispered to yourself: "I don't love Taehyung. But I can't stop crying. And Jungkook… why does his jealousy feel so personal?"
Meanwhile, Jungkook sat in his dorm, restless. He typed a message, deleted it, typed again.
Finally, he sent: Jungkook: "Stop crying for him. One day, you'll cry for me instead."
You stared at the screen, heart racing, unsure what to feel.
You were standing near the edge of the dance floor when Jungkook approached, his expression sharp.
Jungkook: "Why do you keep crying for Taehyung? You say you don't love him, but every time he's with her, you break down."
Y/n:snapping back "Because I got used to him! He was always there, always noticing me. And now he's not. It hurts, even if it's not love."
Jungkook:voice rising "And what about me? I was always there too. But you pushed me away, ignored me, treated me like I was nothing. Do you know how that feels?"
The words hit hard. You froze, staring at him.
Y/n:quietly "I thought… you didn't care. I thought you liked Sol Hee. That's why I stayed away."
Jungkook:bitter laugh "You never asked. You just assumed. And because of that, I had to stay far. Do you know how painful it is, being close but never allowed near you?"
The fight was small but intense, voices low but sharp, emotions spilling raw. You felt your chest tighten, tears welling up. Without thinking, you stepped forward and hugged him.
Y/n:whispering through tears "I didn't know. I didn't realize you felt that way. I'm sorry… for my behaviour, for pushing you away." Jungkook stiffened, then slowly wrapped his arms around you, his voice rough
Jungkook: "I just wanted you to see me. Not as your rival. Not as the boy you fight with. But as someone who's always been here."
Y/n: Sorry Jungkook.
Jk: Don't say sorry, just be with me as mine.
Y/n: I am yours now
Then Jungkook smiled brightly at you and gave you a peck and again hugged you tightly.
Jk: Let's spend time together, okay sweetie!
Y/n blushed and said : Okay Bunny, let's go for movie today.
Then they pressed their lips against each other. Both of them rewinding their past moments and accepting their true and lovely relation.
