IN YOUR EYES ( TAEKOOK ) SHORT STORY
IN YOUR EYES - 1 (´∩｡• ᵕ •｡∩`)
The bright city lights stretched endlessly, reflecting off the windows of towering skyscrapers. The streets were alive with people, cars rushing past, neon signs flickering. It was a city full of life, full of movement
For Kim Taehyung, it was nothing more than an empire he had conquered.
In his office on the top floor of KTH Corporation
TAEHYUNG
(Leaned back in his chair, eyes scanning the skyline)
He was the most powerful businessman in South Korea. Rich beyond imagination, respected and feared by everyone, he had everything—money, luxury, success
Every deal he made, every event he attended, every interaction he had—it was all transactional. People admired him, envied him, but no one truly cared about him.
TAEHYUNG
Is there even a single person in this world who loves me for me?
TAEHYUNG
(Scoffed at his own thoughts)
Love? Caring? Those were just fairy tales for ordinary people. He had learned that long ago.
"Mr. Kim, your dinner meeting with the investors is in an hour," his secretary informed him.
Taehyung sighed. Another night of fake smiles and empty conversations.
In a small, dimly lit apartment
One person sat in front of his grand piano. His fingers moved effortlessly over the keys, filling the room with a melody so hauntingly beautiful that it could make anyone stop and listen
But no one was listening.
Jungkook was blind birth .He had never seen the world—not the sky, not the people, not even his own face. But he could feel it through music.
His parents had left him a vast fortune, making him a millionaire. But money meant nothing when the only person in his life—his uncle—saw him as nothing more than a bank account.
Jungkook 's uncle
Jungkook, you're performing at the café tonight
His uncle's cold voice interrupted his playing
JUNGKOOK
(Sighed) I don’t want to. I just want to play for myself
Jungkook 's uncle
I don't care what you want
Jungkook 's uncle
The café needs customers, and your playing attracts rich people
Jungkook 's uncle
Just do what I say (voice was sharp)
JUNGKOOK
(Clenched his fists)
He hated it—being treated like an object, like a tool
But what choice did he have? He had no family, no one to love him, no one to spoil him with care.
JUNGKOOK
I just want someone to love me for who I am... (Whispered to himself as he grabbed his dress)
ME
i come with new peace of work of mine 😝
ME
I hope you'll going to enjoy this story

IN YOUR EYES - 2 (´∩｡• ᵕ •｡∩`)
The sky opened up, rain pouring heavily over Seoul
TAEHYUNG
(dressed in a sharp black suit)
Taehyung stepped out of the luxury restaurant after his boring business dinner. He loosened his tie, frustrated.
TAEHYUNG
Another night wasted
TAEHYUNG
(Walked to his car)
As he walked to his car, something stopped him
A piano, soft yet filled with so much emotion that it sent shivers down his spine. The sound wasn’t coming from a concert hall or a fancy event
It was coming from a small café across the street
TAEHYUNG
(Walked towards the entrance. Through the glass)
Taehyung Saw a young man sitting at the piano
The boy had dark hair, delicate features, and eyes that stared into nothingness
TAEHYUNG
(Frowned ) Is he blind?
TAEHYUNG
(Stepped inside, drawn to the music, taking a seat in the corner)
JUNGKOOK
(Finished his piece, his fingers resting on the keys. He turned his head slightly)
TAEHYUNG
(Hesitated before answering) Someone who was passing by
JUNGKOOK
(Smiled faintly) Did you like the music?
TAEHYUNG
(Leaned forward, watching him) It was… beautiful
JUNGKOOK
(Chuckled) Most people just say ‘nice’ or ‘good’. You must have really listened.
Taehyung didn’t know why, but he found himself speaking honestly
JUNGKOOK
Then you must be different (murmured ) Everyone who comes here just wants something from me. But you… you just listened
For the first time in years, Taehyung felt something stir inside him
TAEHYUNG
What’s your name?
JUNGKOOK
Jungkook. And you?
JUNGKOOK
Nice to meet you, Taehyung-ssi
The rain had stopped, but the memory of that night stayed with Taehyung. He couldn’t forget the way Jungkook played the piano, how the music felt like it carried all the emotions Taehyung himself couldn’t express
And then, there was Jungkook himself
A blind pianist, yet he saw the world more beautifully than anyone Taehyung had ever met.
Taehyung wanted to see someone again

IN YOUR EYES - 3 (´∩｡• ᵕ •｡∩`)
The Next Night – Back at the Café
Taehyung found himself standing outside the small café once again
He wasn’t a man who repeated things—he never visited the same restaurant twice, never entertained unnecessary interactions
TAEHYUNG
(Pushed open the glass door, the soft chime of the bell ringing in his ears)
The café was dimly lit, a cozy warmth filling the space
JUNGKOOK
(he Was at the piano again)
JUNGKOOK
(Fingers glided over the keys, a melody so delicate yet powerful)
It was different from last night—this one was hopeful
TAEHYUNG
(Took a seat at the same corner table)
JUNGKOOK
(Paused for a second)
JUNGKOOK
You're here again?
TAEHYUNG
(Raised his eyebrow ) How do you know?
JUNGKOOK
(Tilted his head, smiling slightly) I just do
Taehyung didn’t know how to respond. He wasn’t used to being recognized—not in a way that wasn’t about his money, his power, or his name
But Jungkook had no way of knowing any of that
JUNGKOOK
(Resumed playing) You listen differently
JUNGKOOK
(Nodded) Most people hear music, but you... you feel it
TAEHYUNG
(Leaned forward, resting his chin on his hand) And how do you know that?
JUNGKOOK
(Chuckled )Because your presence is quiet, but it lingers
The Days That Followed – A New Routine
Taehyung kept coming back
Every night, after his exhausting business meetings and emotionless interactions, he found himself walking into the café
Jungkook started anticipating his presence
He never saw Taehyung come in. But he always knew
JUNGKOOK
You came late today (commented)
TAEHYUNG
(Smirked, taking a sip of his coffee) You’re keeping track?
JUNGKOOK
(Smiled, tilting his head slightly) Maybe
Taehyung had never experienced this before—being wanted, being noticed, without any expectations
Jungkook never asked him why he was here, never tried to impress him. He simply played, and Taehyung simply listened
It was the most real thing Taehyung had ever known
