Mutual Feeling...(Taekook)
The Unexpected Guest
Early evening, Taehyung's family home, a warm and welcoming suburban house.
Taehyung is helping his mother set the dining table. The doorbell rings, and Jisoo excitedly runs to answer it.
Kim jiwon
Taehyung, could you get the door? I'm finishing up here.
Taehyung heads to the door and opens it to see Jungkook for the first time. Jungkook is charming,
With an easy smile that makes an immediate impression on Taehyung.
Taehyung
(slightly taken aback) Hi, you must be Jungkook. I'm Taehyung, Jisoo's brother.
Jungkook
(extending a hand) Nice to meet you, Taehyung. Jisoo's told me a lot about you
Taehyung
(shakes his hand, feeling a strange warmth) Come on in, everyone's waiting.
They walk into the living room where Jisoo and Mrs. Kim are waiting.
Jisoo
(hugging Jungkook) I'm so glad you made it!
Kim jiwon
Welcome, Jungkook! Please, make yourself at home.
The dining room, filled with delicious aromas and family chatter.
The family sits around the table, enjoying a lively dinner. Jungkook shares stories about his work and interests,
And Taehyung finds himself drawn to Jungkook's charisma.
Jungkook
...and that's how we managed to save the project just in time.
kim soo Hyun
Impressive! You must be very good at what you do.
Jungkook
(modestly) I just have a great team behind me.
Taehyung
(laughs) Sounds like you're a real problem solver.
Jungkook smiles at Taehyung, and Taehyung feels a flutter in his chest, confused by the sudden feeling.
The living room, cozy and dimly lit. Most of the family has gone to bed.
Taehyung is lounging on the couch, scrolling through his phone. Jungkook enters, looking for a glass of water.
Jungkook
Hey, Taehyung. Still up?
Taehyung
(smiling) Yeah, just relaxing. Need some water?
Taehyung gets up and heads to the kitchen, filling a glass of water and handing it to Jungkook.
Jungkook
Thanks. It’s nice to have some quiet time.
Taehyung
Yeah, it is. So, how did you and Jisoo meet?
They sit down and start talking about their lives. Jungkook’s stories captivate Taehyung.
Jungkook
We met at a mutual friend’s party.
Jungkook
She was so full of life and energy, I was drawn to her immediately.
Taehyung
(smiling) That sounds like Jisoo. She's always been the lively one in the family.
The conversation flows easily, and Taehyung finds himself enjoying Jungkook's company more than he expected.
Jungkook
So, what do you do for fun?
Taehyung
I like photography. It’s a great way to capture moments, you know?
Jungkook
I'd love to see some of your work.
Their eyes meet, and Taehyung feels a moment of connection before quickly looking away, confused by his feelings.
Taehyung’s bedroom, later that night.
Taehyung lies in bed, staring at the ceiling, unable to sleep. His mind keeps drifting back to Jungkook.
Taehyung
What’s wrong with me? I’ve never felt this way about a guy before…
Taehyung
And Jungkook is straight. I shouldn’t be feeling this.
Taehyung turns over, trying to shake off the thoughts, but his mind is restless.
The next morning, the kitchen.
The family gathers for breakfast. Taehyung feels awkward around Jungkook, but Jungkook seems completely at ease.
Kim jiwon
Did you sleep well, Jungkook?
Jungkook
Yes, thank you. Your home is very comfortable.
Taehyung
(nervously) Good to hear.
Taehyung focuses on his breakfast, trying to avoid Jungkook’s gaze.
The backyard, a sunny morning.
Taehyung and Jungkook find themselves alone in the backyard. Jungkook is admiring the garden, while Taehyung tries to act normal.
Jungkook
Your family is really wonderful. Jisoo is lucky to have you all.
Taehyung
(smiling) We’re lucky to have her. And you seem like a great guy, Jungkook.
Jungkook's genuine smile and the way he looks at Taehyung makes Taehyung’s heart race.
He’s caught between his growing feelings and the reality that Jungkook is engaged to his sister.
Taehyung’s bedroom, later that evening.
Taehyung sits at his desk, trying to focus on his photography project but struggling.
Taehyung
I have to stop thinking about him. He’s Jisoo’s fiancé, and I’m…
Taehyung
I’m straight. Aren’t I?
Taehyung looks at a photo of his family on the desk, feeling the weight of his conflicting emotions.
He picks up his camera, trying to lose himself in his work, but his thoughts keep drifting back to Jungkook.
Seeking Advice
Taehyung’s bedroom, the next afternoon.
Taehyung sits on his bed, scrolling through his phone, looking increasingly troubled.
He finally decides to call his close friend, (Mina), for advice. After a few rings, Mina picks up.
Mina
Hey, Taehyung! What’s up?📞
Taehyung
(hesitant) Hey, Mina. I need to talk to you about something… personal.📞
Mina
Sure, what’s going on?📞
Taehyung explains his confusion and feelings about Jungkook, trying to make sense of his emotions.
Mina
Wow, that sounds really intense. Have you talked to Jungkook about how you feel?📞
Taehyung
No, I can’t. He’s Jisoo’s fiancé. I don’t want to complicate things.📞
Mina
It’s important to be honest with yourself, but also think about the consequences.📞
Taehyung
Maybe you need to give yourself some space.📞
Taehyung takes a deep breath, considering Mina’s advice.
**A Heart-to-Heart with Jisoo**
The backyard, later that day.
Taehyung finds Jisoo in the backyard, tending to the garden. He approaches her, trying to appear casual.
Taehyung
Hey, Jisoo. Mind if I join you?
Jisoo
(smiling) Of course! What’s on your mind?
Taehyung hesitates before speaking, feeling the weight of his dilemma.
Taehyung
I’ve been feeling a bit off lately. I’m just not sure what to do.
Jisoo
(concerned) What do you mean?
Taehyung
It’s nothing specific, just… I guess I’m worried about things changing.
Jisoo looks thoughtful, sensing there’s more Taehyung isn’t saying.
Jisoo
You know you can always talk to me about anything, right?
Taehyung nods, appreciating her support but still unable to fully express his feelings.
** A Moment of Distance**
The living room, evening.
Taehyung is alone in the living room, trying to focus on a book. Jungkook walks in, looking for something to do.
Jungkook
Hey, Taehyung. Got any plans for tonight?
Taehyung
(forcing a smile) Not really. Just relaxing.
Jungkook sits down, sensing Taehyung’s unease.
Jungkook
You seem a bit distant. Everything okay?
Taehyung struggles to keep his emotions in check.
Taehyung
Yeah, just a lot on my mind.
Jungkook nods, respecting Taehyung’s space but visibly concerned.
** Confiding in Himself**
Taehyung’s bedroom, later that night.
Taehyung sits at his desk, looking at photos he’s taken. He picks up his camera, using it as a way to clear his mind.
Taehyung
Maybe I need to focus on what I can control. Photography helps me make sense of things.
Taehyung
I just need to figure out how to deal with these feelings.
He begins to snap photos around his room, channeling his emotions into his work.
The backyard, early morning.
Taehyung goes outside to clear his head and finds Jungkook already there, taking in the morning sun.
Jungkook
Hey, Taehyung. Didn’t expect to see you up this early
Taehyung
Just needed some fresh air.
They stand together in silence, enjoying the peaceful moment.
Jungkook
You know, sometimes the best way to figure things out is to just let them be. Give yourself time.
Taehyung looks at Jungkook, feeling comforted by his words.
Taehyung
Thanks, Jungkook. I’ll try to keep that in mind.
Jungkook’s Realization
Jungkook’s bedroom, late at night.
Jungkook lies in bed, staring at the ceiling, unable to sleep. His mind keeps drifting to Taehyung,
And he recalls moments of their interactions, realizing he has developed feelings for him.
Jungkook
Why can’t I stop thinking about Taehyung? There’s something about him…
Jungkook
He’s different. But he’s Jisoo’s brother. This isn’t right.
Jungkook turns over, troubled by his emotions and the conflict they create.
The dining room, next morning.
The family gathers for breakfast. Taehyung and Jungkook exchange glances, both feeling the weight of their unspoken feelings.
Jisoo
We’re planning a day out. How about joining us, Jungkook?
Jungkook
Sure, sounds like fun. What do you think, Taehyung?
Taehyung nods, trying to hide his nervousness.
Taehyung
Yeah, I’d love to. It’ll be good to get out.
The tension between them is palpable as they share a brief, meaningful look.
The family spends the day at a park, enjoying various activities. Jungkook and Taehyung end up walking together, separated from the rest.
Jungkook
This park is beautiful. I’m glad we came out.
Taehyung
Yeah, it’s nice to have a change of scenery.
They walk in comfortable silence, with occasional laughter and light conversation.
Jungkook
Taehyung, I’ve been meaning to ask—what’s your favorite spot to photograph?
Taehyung
I love capturing candid moments. There’s something genuine about them.
Jungkook listens intently, clearly interested in Taehyung’s passion.
Jungkook
I’d really like to see your work sometime. I bet it’s amazing.
Taehyung feels a rush of warmth at Jungkook’s compliment, and their eyes meet, revealing a mutual spark.
**A Moment of Connection**
A quiet corner of the park, late afternoon.
They sit on a bench, watching the sunset. The atmosphere is serene and intimate.
Jungkook
I’ve really enjoyed getting to know you, Taehyung. I feel like we connect on a different level.
Taehyung
(nervously) I feel the same. It’s been...unexpectedly nice.
Jungkook reaches out, gently touching Taehyung’s hand. Taehyung’s heart races, and he looks at Jungkook, conflicted but drawn to him.
Jungkook
Taehyung, I can’t help but feel there’s something special between us.
Jungkook
But I also don’t want to hurt Jisoo.
Taehyung is taken aback, struggling to process his feelings and Jungkook’s confession.
Taehyung
I don’t know what to say. This is all so confusing.
They sit in silence, both aware of the gravity of the situation.
**The Heartfelt Confession**
As the day winds down, Jungkook and Taehyung walk back to the rest of the group, the tension between them still lingering.
Jungkook
I think I need to take some time to sort out my feelings.
Jungkook
I don’t want to rush things or make any decisions right now.
Taehyung nods, feeling a mix of relief and sadness.
Taehyung
I understand. It’s a lot to process.
They rejoin the group, trying to act normal, but the underlying emotions remains.
