Reborn: To Love You Right
1. Second Chance
In the hospital room, the sound of machines beeped faintly. Jungkook lay in bed, struggling for his last breaths. Beside him, Taehyung clutched his hand tightly, tears streaming down his face.
Jeon Jungkook
w-what makes us so afraid… of being two men or women together so much…
Kim Taehyung
*Taehyung’s voice breaking with sobs*
Koo… please… don’t talk… you need rest… you’ll be fine soon.
Jeon Jungkook
*chuckles bitterly, voice weak*
Of all the things in this world… to be scared of… and we chose love.
Jeon Jungkook
*squeezes Tae’s hand weakly*
Sorry Tae… I-I didn’t love you right. I just… kept hurting you…
Kim Taehyung
*shakes his head violently, crying harder*
No! Koo… you were the best thing that ever happened to me. Please, don’t leave me… I can’t live without you.
But it was too late. Jungkook’s hand slipped from his, his chest falling still. Taehyung cried in his arms, unable to believe it. His Koo… his baby… was gone.
Suddenly—Jungkook’s eyes shot open.
But this wasn’t the hospital. He was in his own room.
Jeon Jungkook
*breath quickens, looking around in shock*
W-what… was it all… a bad dream?
Jeon Jungkook
*His eyes fell on the calendar. The date showed two years ago. His body froze.* Did he… time travel? Or was it really just a dream?
From the kitchen, a familiar sweet voice echoed.
Kim Taehyung
Koo-ah! Dinner’s ready!
Jungkook’s heart nearly stopped at the sound. His Tae. His hyungie. Alive.
Jeon Jungkook
*rushes downstairs and sees Taehyung humming while cooking. Without thinking, he runs and hugs him from behind tightly.*
I won’t lose this time, hyung. I’ll love you right.
Kim Taehyung
*startled but smiling softly, hugging him back*
Koo… what happened? Why are you acting like this?
Jeon Jungkook
*shakes his head quickly, holding Tae tighter, voice trembling but filled with determination*
Nothing… just… let me stay like this. I promise… I’ll protect us.
Taehyung didn’t understand, but he hugged Jungkook closer. This time, Jungkook swore—no fear, no mistakes, no regrets. He had been given another chance.
And he would love Taehyung right.

2. Holding hand
That day, Jungkook clung to Taehyung more than usual. Taehyung noticed it instantly—it was strange, because Jungkook had always been the one cautious, reserved, scared of being found out. He rarely showed affection so openly. But today… today was different.
And Taehyung couldn’t help but love this side of him.
Kim Taehyung
*smiling softly, running his hand through Jungkook’s hair as they cuddled on the couch*
You’re really clingy today, Koo. Not that I’m complaining.
Jeon Jungkook
*buries his face in Tae’s chest, whispering*
I just… I don’t ever want to let go.
Kim Taehyung
*chuckles lightly, kissing Jungkook’s forehead*
Then don’t. I like it.
For the first time, Jungkook felt no shame in holding him tighter. He wanted to memorize the warmth, the heartbeat, the love that he had lost once before.
Jeon Jungkook
*looks up suddenly, eyes determined*
Hyung… wanna go for a walk in the park?
Kim Taehyung
*eyes widen in surprise, face lighting up instantly*
Really? Koo… you mean it?
Jeon Jungkook
*smiles, nodding*
Yeah. Let’s go. I want to.
Taehyung’s heart swelled. He remembered how many times he had wished for something so simple—to walk with Jungkook outside, hand in hand, like any other couple. But back then… Jungkook was too afraid.
Kim Taehyung
*smiling brightly, eyes sparkling with excitement*
Koo, let’s go for a walk in the park today. The weather’s perfect, and it’ll be nice.
Jeon Jungkook
*hesitates, voice low, anxious*
I-I don’t think that’s a good idea, hyung. What if… what if people see us?
Kim Taehyung
*face falls, disappointment flickering, but quickly masking it with a soft smile*
That’s okay, Koo. Staying home and cuddling is nice too. Come here.
And just like that, Taehyung swallowed his disappointment and hugged him. They stayed in, like they always did. Jungkook thought he was protecting them… but he didn’t realize how much it hurt Tae’s silent wishes.
But not this time. Jungkook clenched his fists quietly. This time, he wouldn’t let his fear steal Taehyung’s happiness. He wouldn’t repeat the same mistakes.
Jeon Jungkook
*softly, but firmly to himself while looking at Taehyung’s smile*
I love you hyung .
Kim Taehyung
*hums happily, pulling Jungkook up from the couch*
I love you too, Koo. Let’s go before it gets dark.
They walked side by side to the park. The evening air was cool, the sky painted with soft shades of orange and pink. Taehyung’s eyes sparkled under the sunset, and Jungkook couldn’t take his eyes off him.
Kim Taehyung
*looking around with excitement*
It’s been a while since we did this. The park feels so alive, doesn’t it?
Jeon Jungkook
*smiling, watching Tae’s happiness*
Yeah… it does. But not as much as you do.
Kim Taehyung
*blushes, playfully nudging Jungkook*
Yah, cheesy. Since when did my Koo get like this?
Jeon Jungkook
*shrugs with a soft grin*
Since I realized what really matters.
They kept walking, side by side. And then, in a moment of courage, Jungkook reached out… and laced his fingers with Taehyung’s.
Kim Taehyung
*stops abruptly, eyes wide, staring at their joined hands*
Koo…?
Jeon Jungkook
*holding tight, heart racing but voice steady*
I’m not letting go, hyung. Not anymore.
Kim Taehyung
*voice trembling, tears threatening to fall*
But… what if—
Jeon Jungkook
*cuts him off firmly*
No. Look around.
Taehyung blinked, glancing at the people around them. Joggers, families, couples, kids playing. And… no one was staring. No one was whispering.
Jeon Jungkook
*smiles faintly, almost in disbelief*
It was always me, hyung. I was the one overthinking. The one imagining monsters in every shadow. The one who kept us caged inside because of my fear.
Kim Taehyung
*grips Jungkook’s hand tighter, voice breaking*
Koo…
Jeon Jungkook
*eyes soft but determined*
I hurt you so much before. You wanted something so simple… and I denied it because I was scared. But this time… this time I won’t. I’ll love you right. I swear.
Kim Taehyung
*tears slipping down, but smiling through them*
You already love me right, Koo. Just… being here, doing this… it means more than you know.
Jeon Jungkook
*pulls him closer, whispering*
Then let me keep proving it.
They continued walking, hand in hand. The world around them blurred, but for once, Jungkook didn’t care. He wasn’t afraid of the stares that never came, the judgment that never appeared. For the first time… he felt free.
I hope you like it don’t forget to like and comment ❤️
Nightmare
After their peaceful walk in the park, Jungkook and Taehyung returned home. They ate dinner together, laughed over small things, and soon slipped under the covers, tangled in each other’s arms. For the first time in a long while, Jungkook felt safe. But when he closed his eyes… the nightmare returned.
Dream Sequence:
Jeon Jungkook
*weak, gasping for air on the hospital bed*
Hyung… don’t cry… please…
Kim Taehyung
*tears pouring down, voice shaking*
No, Koo, you can’t leave me! Please, stay with me!
Jeon Jungkook
*whispers, voice fading*
I-I’m sorry… I didn’t love you right…
And then—silence. The sound of the heart monitor flatlining echoed in Jungkook’s head. He jolted awake, heart pounding, sweat dripping down his face.
Kim Taehyung
*eyes flutter open instantly, sitting up in alarm*
Koo?! What happened? Are you sick? Do you have a fever? Do I need to bring food so you can take medicine?
Jeon Jungkook
*shaking his head quickly, pulling Tae back into his arms, clutching him tightly*
No… no, hyung… it was just a nightmare. Just a nightmare…
Kim Taehyung
*caresses Jungkook’s cheek, still worried*
You’re trembling. Tell me what it was about.
Jeon Jungkook
*shakes his head again, voice hoarse*
I… I can’t. Just… don’t leave me, hyung. Please.
Kim Taehyung
*sighs softly, wrapping his arms protectively around Jungkook*
I’m not going anywhere, Koo. I’ve got you. Always.
Taehyung kissed his forehead gently and hummed softly until Jungkook’s breathing steadied. But even as Jungkook drifted back into a fragile sleep, he clung onto Taehyung like his life depended on it. Because in truth—it did.
The next morning, Sunlight spilled into their room. Today was Jimin’s birthday, and they were invited to celebrate. Jungkook dressed silently, his mind still haunted by the nightmare. But he remembered this day. He remembered how it had gone before.
Two years ago, at Jimin’s birthday, Taehyung had tried to hold his hand inside the house. Just once. Just a small thing.
Kim Taehyung
*whispering, smiling softly back then*
Koo… can I? Just here, with friends.
Jeon Jungkook
*pulls his hand away nervously*
Hyung, not here. What if someone says something?
Taehyung’s smile had faltered, but he had let it go. He always let it go. Jungkook thought he was protecting them… but he had only been hurting Tae quietly.
Not this time. Today, he would change everything.
When they arrived, Jungkook held Taehyung’s hand tightly. His grip never loosened, even as they stepped into the living room where all their friends were gathered.
Jimin
*running up excitedly, grinning wide*
Taehyung! Jungkook! You made it!
Kim Taehyung
*hugging Jimin with one arm, still held by Jungkook with the other*
Of course. Happy birthday, Chim~
Jeon Jungkook
*smiles softly, holding Tae’s hand firmer*
Happy birthday, hyung.
Jimin
*eyes dropping to their hands, smirking*
Ohooo~ So you two are in a clingy mood today, huh?
Kim Taehyung
*blushes, laughing nervously*
Don’t tease us, Chim.
Jeon Jungkook
*frowns slightly, answering seriously*
What’s wrong with holding my boyfriend’s hand?
The room goes quiet for a second—then bursts into laughter.
Jin
*smiling proudly*
Since when did you get so bold, kookie?
Suga
*grinning faintly, teasing*
Looks like someone grew a backbone overnight.
Namjoon
*studying Jungkook with a thoughtful expression*
It’s a good look on you, Kook. Confidence suits you.
Jhope
*beaming, ruffling Jungkook’s hair*
About time you showed off your love. We all knew anyway~
Kim Taehyung
*blinks in surprise, looking at his friends*
You… you all knew?
Jimin
*giggling*
Tae, please. The way you look at each other? We’d have to be blind not to know.
Taehyung’s cheeks flushed pink, but Jungkook just squeezed his hand tighter, silently vowing never to let go again.
Jimin
*clapping hands*
Okay, everyone gather around! Time to cut the cake!
They all sang happily, cheering as Jimin cut the cake. Laughter filled the room as frosting ended up on Jimin’s nose. Then the cake was passed around.
Kim Taehyung
*holding a plate of cake, turning to Jungkook*
Here, Koo.
Jeon Jungkook
*instead of taking it, leans forward and takes the bite directly from Tae’s fork, eyes locked on him*
Mmm. Delicious.
The room erupts in screams and laughter.
Jin
*shouting dramatically*
Aigoo~ these kids are feeding each other now! My eyes!
Jhope
*cheering*
Do it again! Do it again!
Kim Taehyung
*blushing furiously, glaring playfully*
Yah! Stop teasing!
Jeon Jungkook
*smirks, whispering softly just for Tae*
I’ll never stop showing you off.
Later, the lights dimmed, and karaoke began. Hoseok and Jimin sang first, filling the room with laughter. Then Namjoon and Yoongi rapped, their energy unmatched. Finally, it was Tae’s turn.
Kim Taehyung
*singing with his deep, soulful voice, eyes sparkling under the dim lights*
Jungkook watched him with awe. In his past life, he had looked away, afraid to show how much Tae meant to him in front of everyone. But now… he didn’t care. He clapped the loudest, cheering his hyung with no hesitation.
Jeon Jungkook
*shouting over the noise, smiling proudly*
That’s my hyungie! My Tae!
Everyone whistles and cheers louder, making Tae blush deeply.
When the party ended and they returned home, Jungkook pulled Taehyung onto the couch, still refusing to let his hand go.
Kim Taehyung
*giggling softly, caressing Jungkook’s cheek*
You’ve been holding me all day, Koo. Not that I mind… but what’s gotten into you?
Jeon Jungkook
*eyes serious, voice trembling slightly*
I just… I don’t want to waste another second hiding how much I love you. Not anymore.
Kim Taehyung
*eyes soften, pulling him into a gentle kiss*
You don’t have to. I’ve loved you through every version of you, Koo. Clingy, shy, bold… all of it.
Jeon Jungkook
*whispers, hugging him tightly, tears welling up*
Then let me promise you, hyung. This time… I’ll love you right
Taehyung didn’t understand the full weight of those words. Not yet. But he felt Jungkook’s trembling hands, his desperate grip, and he knew one thing for certain—Jungkook meant it. And for Taehyung… that was enough.
