Tales of Taekook ( One Shot )
The Face I Wear
The rain poured harder against the glass as Taehyung rested his head on the window. His mother glanced back and smiled softly
MRS. KIM
are you sleepy? We’ll be home soon
TAEHYUNG
(yawning) Mm… I’m okay, eomma
MR.KIM
(Smiles at Taehyung's face in the front mirror)
MR.KIM
(Hands gripped the steering wheel tightly)
The road was slick, visibility poor. But he didn’t want to worry his wife and son
The sound of tires skidding
Taehyung’s small body slammed against the seatbelt
Pain shot through him. The world spun. Metal twisted. Glass shattered
TAEHYUNG
(screaming) Appaaaa
TAEHYUNG
(He shook his eomma’s shoulder)
But her head only lolled to the side
His father wasn’t moving either
His little chest heaved with terror as he cried and cried
Then — strong arms pulled him out. Sirens wailed. The cold rain soaked him, mixing with his tears
That was the last night he saw his parents alive
Days later, the funeral incense filled the air
Taehyung sat silently, his small fingers clenching the edge of his black clothes
MR JEON
(kneeling)
Tae, from now on, you’ll live with us. Don’t think of yourself as alone.you’re my son too
TAEHYUNG
(Didn’t answer. His voice was trapped in his throat)
The Jeon household was warm, filled with laughter and the smell of food
But to Taehyung, everything felt foreign. He dragged his little suitcase in and stood awkwardly at the entrance
Two boys peeked down from the stairs — identical, with wide doe eyes
JEON GGUK
(whispering loudly) Hyung, he looks sad…
JEON JUNGKOOK
(whispering back) Don’t stare. Appa said he’s family now
But Gguk couldn’t help it
JEON GGUK
(He ran down the stairs, his tiny hands grabbing Taehyung’s)
JEON GGUK
(smiling brightly) Don’t cry, hyung. I’ll play with you every day! Let’s be best friends, okay?
TAEHYUNG
(Blinked at the sudden warmth. Slowly, he nodded)
From the staircase, Jungkook frowned. He didn’t know why, but seeing Gguk holding Taehyung’s hand made something sting in his chest
Taehyung lay awake in the guest room. The house was quiet except for the sound of rain against the roof
TAEHYUNG
(He curled into the blanket, whispering softly) (murmuring) eomma… Appa… I’ll be good. I’ll be strong…
Suddenly, the door creaked
Gguk tiptoed in with a small flashlight
JEON GGUK
(whispering) Hyung, are you scared? You can sleep in our room if you want. Me and Jungkook always share the bed
TAEHYUNG
(Sat up, his eyes watery. He hesitated, then nodded
Taehyung lay between the twins
JEON GGUK
(Hugged him tightly like a teddy bear, smiling in his sleep)
JEON JUNGKOOK
(Turned away, his small fists clenched under the blanket)
JEON JUNGKOOK
(thinking) Why does Gguk always get to be the one beside him…?
JEON JUNGKOOK
(Thinking) How can my brother be closer to him. I really don't like it.
The Jeon household was bustling as usual
Mr. Jeon left early for work, and Mrs. Jeon was busy preparing breakfast.
TAEHYUNG
(Walked down the stairs with his usual calm smile. His broad shoulders had grown, his soft brown hair falling into his eyes. He had that warm aura everyone loved)
Gguk — also seventeen, playful as always — draped his arm over Taehyung’s shoulder.
GGUK
(grinning) Hyung, sit next to me! You promised we’d study together after school today
TAEHYUNG
(chuckling) Did I? Hmm… I guess I did
He sat, letting Gguk lean against him
JUNGKOOK
(Watched silently, his chopsticks clenching so tight his knuckles whitened)
JUNGKOOK
(His lip curled slightly when he saw Gguk take a piece of egg and put it on Taehyung’s plate)
JUNGKOOK
(coldly) Can you stop acting like a puppy? He has hands. He can feed himself
GGUK
Why are you always so grumpy in the morning? Hyung doesn’t mind, right?
TAEHYUNG
(Gave Jungkook a gentle smile) It’s fine, Kookie. He’s just being caring
JUNGKOOK
( his chest tightened at that word — caring)
The twins were popular in school. Identical in looks, but completely different in aura
Gguk was the cheerful one, always surrounded by friends, laughing loudly.
Jungkook was quieter, darker — admired from afar but feared up close.
And Taehyung? He was the one everyone liked. The calm, handsome senior who tutored younger students, smiled at teachers, and had the softest voice when he spoke
After school, as promised, Taehyung sat in the library with Gguk, patiently helping him with math problems.
TAEHYUNG
(pointing at the notebook) Not like that, Gguk. Carry the one here… see?
GGUK
(pouting) Ah, hyung, you’re too smart. Can’t we just take a break? Come on, let’s go get ice cream
GGUK
(He tugged at Taehyung’s arm, leaning against him dramatically)
At the far corner of the library, Jungkook sat with his earphones in, pretending to study
JUNGKOOK
(His eyes never left them. His blood boiled watching Gguk practically glued to Taehyung)
JUNGKOOK
(to himself, fists clenching) Why does he always get to sit so close? Why does hyung never push him away?
When Gguk playfully rested his head on Taehyung’s shoulder, Jungkook’s pen snapped in half
Jungkook couldn’t hold it in anymore. He stormed into the shared room he had with Gguk, slamming the door so hard that Taehyung, who was passing by, froze
JUNGKOOK
(angrily) Can you stop sticking to him like glue?
GGUK
(confused) What? Who?
JUNGKOOK
(snapping) Don’t play dumb. Taehyung-hyungie , Every second, every day, you’re clinging to him. Don’t you get tired?
GGUK
(frowning, defensive) He’s our cousin ,What’s wrong with being close? He’s family, Jungkook. Why are you so mad about it?
JUNGKOOK
(voice rising, bitterly) Family? You hug him, you hold his hand, you— you act like he belongs to you
GGUK
(stared at his twin, shocked at the intensity in his voice)
GGUK
(softly, narrowing eyes) … Don’t tell me… you’re jealous?
JUNGKOOK
(Froze. His throat went dry)
JUNGKOOK
(gritting teeth, looking away) Shut up. You don’t know anything. Just i don't like him
He stormed out, leaving Gguk staring after him
At the end of the hallway, Taehyung leaned against the wall
TAEHYUNG
(thinking, clutching his chest) Why… why did Jungkook sound so hurt? Could it be…? He hurt because gguk is close with me
The school buzzed with energy
Colorful banners, food stalls, laughter — the annual spring festival was in full swing
Taehyung walked with Gguk, who was clinging to his arm while excitedly pointing at cotton candy stands and games
GGUK
(grinning) Hyung, hyung Let’s take a picture in the photo booth together
TAEHYUNG
(chuckling softly) Again? We already took one last year
GGUK
(pouting cutely) But that one’s old! Come on, please?
TAEHYUNG
(Sighed but gave in, as always. His heart was too soft for the younger)
Meanwhile, Jungkook followed from a distance
JUNGKOOK
(His hands shoved deep in his pockets. His jaw clenched when he saw Gguk holding Taehyung’s arm so casually, like it belonged to him)
Inside the photo booth, Gguk leaned against Taehyung, flashing a peace sign. Taehyung smiled gently at the camera.
JUNGKOOK
(Stood outside, his nails digging into his palms)
GGUK
(Proudly showed him the strip of photos)
GGUK
(teasing) Look, Jungkook, aren’t we cute?
JUNGKOOK
(Snatched the photos from his hand, his eyes dark) (coldly) Stop acting like you own him
GGUK
(frowning) Why are you always like this? You’re ruining the mood
TAEHYUNG
(softly, trying to calm) Kookie… don’t be so harsh. It’s just a photo
Jungkook’s eyes flickered to Taehyung’s soft smile — the same smile he had just given to Gguk inside the booth. His chest ached
That evening, Jungkook skipped the rest of the festival and escaped to the school rooftop
The city lights stretched out before him, but all he saw was Taehyung’s smile… for Gguk
JUNGKOOK
(to himself, bitterly) He doesn’t even notice me. No matter what I do… he only laughs with Gguk. Only looks at him. Why? Why not me?
Footsteps echoed behind him. Taehyung had followed
TAEHYUNG
(gently) Kookie… why did you leave? Everyone was looking for you
JUNGKOOK
(Stiffened. He didn’t turn around)
JUNGKOOK
(low voice) Why do you always defend him?
TAEHYUNG
(blinking, confused)Hm? You mean Gguk?
JUNGKOOK
(whirling around, frustrated) Yes Him! You never scold him, never push him away. He clings to you like he can’t breathe without you. And you… you let him. Every time
Taehyung froze, his lips parting slightly. He had never heard Jungkook’s voice break like this
TAEHYUNG
(softly) Kookie, he’s your twin. He loves you too, you know
JUNGKOOK
(stepping closer, intense)
But before he could speak, Gguk’s voice echoed from below
GGUK
Hyung! Jungkook! Where are you guys? Come down
The moment shattered. Taehyung turned away quickly, hiding his flushed face
TAEHYUNG
(softly) Let’s… go down. They’re waiting
JUNGKOOK
(Fists clenched as he watched Taehyung walk away)
The storm inside Jungkook only grew worse. Every day he saw Gguk clinging, Taehyung smiling, himself left out. His chest felt like it was tearing apart
One night, after sneaking out to drink with his friends, Jungkook sat in his car, the alcohol buzzing in his veins. His mind wasn’t on the road — it was on Taehyung’s face, Taehyung’s laugh, Taehyung leaning toward Gguk
JEON JUNGKOOK
(slamming the wheel, muttering) Why him? Why not me? Taehyung-hyungie… you’re mine. You should’ve been mine…
JEON JUNGKOOK
(thinking, furious) Why him? Why not me? Taehyung-hyungie… you should’ve noticed me first… you should’ve—
A flash of light, a blinding spark, and… everything went black
When Jungkook opened his eyes, he was lying in a soft bed
But something felt wrong. His arms? His chest? He looked down and froze
Jungkook (panicking, scrambling to a mirror)
“No… no… no… this isn’t my body. My tattoos… my piercing… my face… gone"
He spun around and his eyes landed on his original body, lying unconscious on another bed in the room — bruised but alive
JUNGKOOK in gguks body
(shouting, voice cracking) Wha… what the hell is happening?! Mommmmm
The door opened. Taehyung burst in, eyes wide and panicked
KIM TAEHYUNG
(relieved, kneeling beside Gguk) Gguk-ah! You’re awake! I was so worried
Jungkook froze. That voice… that soft tone, meant for Gguk, hit him in the chest
KIM TAEHYUNG
(softly, brushing his hair away) You had us all scared. Jungkook —he’s… he’s stable now. Don’t worry about him
JUNGKOOK in gguks body
(thinking, bitterly) So… I’m alive, but trapped in Gguk’s body. And everyone thinks Jungkook’s in a coma. This… this is my chance…
Jungkook tried to move, but Gguk’s smaller frame made every motion feel strange.
JUNGKOOK in gguks body
(Tripped over the blanket and fell face-first)
JUNGKOOK in gguks body
(groaning) Damn it! This body… it’s so… soft! How does Gguk even walk like this?
KIM TAEHYUNG
(Couldn’t help but chuckle, kneeling to help him up)
KIM TAEHYUNG
(teasing, soft smile) You’ve always been clumsy, Gguk… but now you really take it to a new level
JUNGKOOK in gguks body
(Face burned — literally, because he couldn’t stop blushing at Taehyung being so close)
JUNGKOOK in gguks body
(thinking, panicking) Don’t… look at me like that. I’m not him! I’m Jungkook
Jungkook tried to do simple things — reach for water, touch his face — but Gguk’s body was full of quirks he wasn’t used to.
Hair was softer, slipperier.
Fingers were smaller, weaker.
Gguk’s habits — like unconsciously humming or tapping his foot — made him twitch in frustration.
JUNGKOOK in gguks body
(yelling to himself) Stop doing that, body! Stop moving like a kid
When he tried to stand, he stumbled, and Taehyung nearly laughed out loud
KIM TAEHYUNG
(softly, amused) You’re acting… different today, Gguk
JUNGKOOK in gguks body
(gritting teeth, whispering) I’m NOT Gguk… I’m Jungkook… and I’m going to make you mine
As Taehyung tucked him back into bed, his hands lingered on Gguk’s shoulders. Jungkook felt his heart hammer in a way it never did before — part jealousy, part desire
KIM TAEHYUNG
(softly, almost to himself) I just… don’t want to lose you. Not you. Not Gguk. Not anyone
JUNGKOOK in gguks body
(Eyes darkened)
JUNGKOOK in gguks body
(thinking) In this body… no one will know it’s me. I can finally stay close… I can finally make him notice me… make him mine
A mischievous, dangerous smile crept across his face
JUNGKOOK in gguks body
(whispering)The face I wear… will win you, hyungie
Lightning flashed — and for a brief second, his reflection in the rearview mirror looked… different.
Colder. Like his own anger was staring back at him.
JEON JUNGKOOK
(He shook his head) Great. Now I’m hallucinating
But the road ahead wasn’t empty anymore
A figure — cloaked in black, drenched, standing right in the middle of the lane
JEON JUNGKOOK
What the hell—?
He slammed the brakes, but the car swerved, tires screeching against the wet asphalt. The world spun, metal crunched, glass shattered
When Jungkook opened his eyes, the rain had stopped
Or maybe… it never rained here.
JEON JUNGKOOK
(Standing on a cobblestone path surrounded by mist)
The moon hung low and full, and a faint melody — like humming — drifted from somewhere behind him.
A woman stood there. Pale skin. Black veil. Eyes glowing faint gold
“You shouldn’t have looked in the mirror with hatred,” she said softly. “That’s how the curse finds its mark.”
JEON JUNGKOOK
(Blinked) Curse? What the hell— where am I?
“Between what was and what is,” she smiled faintly. “Your anger called me. You wished to be seen. You wished for him to feel what you feel.”
Before he could step back, her hand touched his chest. It was ice-cold — like being plunged into a frozen lake.
JEON JUNGKOOK
Wait, no— stop (gasped, but his voice was fading, swallowed by the mist)
“One body cannot hold two souls,” the witch whispered. “Let the twins exchange their burdens.”
At the mansion, Gguk sat on the piano bench, fingers hovering over the keys.
A sudden wave of dizziness hit him.
JEON GGUK
(His vision blurred. He clutched his chest, gasping, feeling something)
Then, everything went black
He collapsed onto the marble floor, unconscious
Back on the road, rescuers found Jungkook’s car twisted against a tree.
He was still breathing, barely — pulse weak, body cold.
“He’s alive! Quick, call the ambulance!”
As they lifted him out, his head lolled to the side — and for a second, his lips moved faintly.
Three days later, in a quiet hospital room—
Machines beeped steadily beside Jungkook’s real body.
But somewhere else, in the Jeon family mansion, Gguk’s eyes fluttered open — and the first thing he saw was Taehyung sitting beside him, holding his hand.
KIM TAEHYUNG
You scared me,( whispered)Don’t do that again, Gguk-ah
Jungkook — inside Gguk’s body — tried to speak, but his voice cracked.
That night, Jungkook stood by the balcony, staring at the distant lights
His own body — the real him — was lying in a hospital bed somewhere.
But Taehyung… was right here
Close enough to fall all over again
JUNGKOOK in gguks body
If this is a curse… it’s the cruelest one ever
The morning began quietly
Birds chirped outside, a soft breeze fluttered the curtains, and the smell of pancakes filled the air
Taehyung was standing by the counter, humming under his breath while he prepared breakfast
Behind him, Gguk — or rather, Jungkook trapped in Gguk’s body — leaned lazily against the doorframe, watching
JUNGKOOK in gguks body
You always make breakfast this perfect?
KIM TAEHYUNG
Someone has to feed you, Gguk. You sleep like a bear (replied without turning)
JUNGKOOK in gguks body
A cute bear, right?
KIM TAEHYUNG
No,A lazy one
Jungkook laughed and walked closer, coming up right behind him, close enough for Taehyung to feel his breath brush the back of his neck
KIM TAEHYUNG
Yah— don’t stand so close (frowned) You’ll spill the syrup
JUNGKOOK in gguks body
I’m helping, (said innocently, reaching around him to grab a plate — but his chest brushed Taehyung’s shoulder deliberately)
KIM TAEHYUNG
Helping? (scoffed)You’re hovering
JUNGKOOK in gguks body
(Grinned) I just like being near you, hyung
KIM TAEHYUNG
(He froze, blinking)
KIM TAEHYUNG
(Thinking)Gguk always hugged me, yes… but he never talked like that.
When they sat down to eat, gguk (Jungkook) kept sneaking glances.
Taehyung felt them — every time.
KIM TAEHYUNG
Why do you keep staring?
JUNGKOOK in gguks body
Can’t I look at you while you eat? (said, feigning innocence)
KIM TAEHYUNG
Not when you’re burning holes through my face
JUNGKOOK in gguks body
Maybe I just missed you
KIM TAEHYUNG
We live in the same house
JUNGKOOK in gguks body
(Smiled lazily) Still… feels like I haven’t seen you in forever
KIM TAEHYUNG
(Paused, chopsticks frozen midair)
There was something different in that tone — a strange, warm sincerity that didn’t belong to Gguk
KIM TAEHYUNG
(Cleared his throat, forcing a smile) You must still be tired from the fainting
KIM TAEHYUNG
Eat before the food turns cold
Later that afternoon, Taehyung was sitting in the garden, sketchbook on his lap, pencil gliding over paper.
The breeze lifted strands of his hair, sunlight dancing over his lashes.
Jungkook — in Gguk’s body — slid beside him on the bench, far too close
JUNGKOOK in gguks body
Whatcha drawing?
KIM TAEHYUNG
The flowers, (murmured) Can you not hover over my shoulder?
JUNGKOOK in gguks body
I’m appreciating your art, (said, leaning in even closer) Or maybe the artist
KIM TAEHYUNG
(Froze again, turning to look at him, eyes narrowing)
KIM TAEHYUNG
Gguk… you’ve been acting strange lately
JUNGKOOK in gguks body
Strange how?
KIM TAEHYUNG
You used to cling, yes, but not like this. Not with… (hesitated, frowning) Not with this look in your eyes
JUNGKOOK in gguks body
Maybe I just grew up, (said quietly, eyes locked on his face)
KIM TAEHYUNG
No,(said, shutting his sketchbook)This isn’t growing up. This is you crossing a line
JUNGKOOK in gguks body
You always say that (teased softly) But you never stop me
KIM TAEHYUNG
Because you’re my cousin (said sharply)
JUNGKOOK in gguks body
Oh really
He moved closer—too close—until Taehyung could feel the tremor in his breath
KIM TAEHYUNG
Gguk (said quietly)don’t
JUNGKOOK in gguks body
(whispering) I shouldn’t… but I can’t stop
And then, he leaned in — slow, hesitant, but real
Their lips met — a soft, trembling kiss that lasted only a second
KIM TAEHYUNG
(Eyes widened; his body went rigid, shock rippling through him)
KIM TAEHYUNG
(Stared, lips still parted, heart pounding so loud he could barely think.
And then reality crashed in)
KIM TAEHYUNG
(slapped jungkook with full force)
JUNGKOOK in gguks body
(Fall on the while holding his cheeks and look at taehyung)
KIM TAEHYUNG
(angrily) You know I love your brother, Jungkook. Why would you—
JUNGKOOK in gguks body
(shocked but smiles at taehyung)
JUNGKOOK in gguks body
I am Jungkook
KIM TAEHYUNG
Do you think this is funny? Pretending to be him—saying things like that?
JUNGKOOK in gguks body
No, I—
KIM TAEHYUNG
It hurts, Gguk. Don’t make fun of my feelings
JUNGKOOK in gguks body
(Throat tightened as guilt flooded his chest) I’m sorry, Taehyung hyung. I didn’t mean to hurt you
KIM TAEHYUNG
(Turned away, hiding the tears glistening in his lashes) Go to your room, Gguk. Please
Jungkook hesitated, eyes pleading, but the tremor in Taehyung’s voice told him there was no use
JUNGKOOK in gguks body
(He nodded slowly, biting his lip, and stepped back toward the door)
JUNGKOOK in gguks body
(softly) Good night, hyung
Taehyung didn’t reply — he just sat there, staring at the empty space between them, his heart beating painfully fast
When the door closed, Taehyung finally whispered to himself, voice breaking
KIM TAEHYUNG
(holding his chest) i am sorry kookie (cries)
The quiet hum of hospital machines was the first thing Jungkook heard when he opened his eyes
The faint scent of antiseptic filled the room, mixed with something softer — lavender soap
He turned his head and saw Taehyung slumped over in the chair beside the bed, his hand resting near Jungkook’s.
Even in sleep, Taehyung’s brows were drawn together, as if he’d been worrying even in his dreams
JEON JUNGKOOK
(Thinking) Omg I am back with my own body 😄
Jungkook tried to speak, but his voice came out weak, a whisper that barely reached the air
JEON JUNGKOOK
Taehyungie… hyungie…
KIM TAEHYUNG
(Stirred, then suddenly shot upright. His eyes widened when he saw Jungkook’s lips moving)
JEON JUNGKOOK
(Smiled faintly. His voice trembled, but it was real) hyungie
KIM TAEHYUNG
(Out of his chair, arms wrapping tightly around him)
The force of the hug made Jungkook wince and laugh at the same time
KIM TAEHYUNG
You scared me so much (cried, his voice muffled against Jungkook’s shoulder)
KIM TAEHYUNG
You don’t even know what it felt like seeing you like that, not knowing if you’d ever wake up
JEON JUNGKOOK
(smiled and lifted his hand to pat Taehyung’s back gently)
KIM TAEHYUNG
(pulled back, his eyes were red, his lips trembling between a smile and a sob)
KIM TAEHYUNG
I’ll call the doctor, okay? You need to get checked—
He turned to go, but Jungkook’s fingers curled around his wrist
KIM TAEHYUNG
(Looked down, confused) What is it?
JEON JUNGKOOK
Come close to me
JEON JUNGKOOK
(thinking) i really don't know what I am going to do with my full life with him 😭😭
JEON JUNGKOOK
Just come i think something went into my eyes
Taehyung near Jungkook eyes but before that he holds taehyung's neck and started to kiss him
KIM TAEHYUNG
(Eyes weird open)
JEON JUNGKOOK
(closed his eyes and kissed him passionately)
JEON JUNGKOOK
(Break the kiss and caresses his cheeks) I love you taehyungie hyungie (smiles)
KIM TAEHYUNG
What ? yo--- you love me?
JEON JUNGKOOK
(Nodes his head and wink at taehyung)
Then same time gguk and MR. Jeon comes there
JEON GGUK
Kookie i missed you so much
JEON GGUK
(Push taehyung side and hugs Jungkook)
JEON JUNGKOOK
(Smiles and hugs back) me too
For the first time after a long time jungkook hugs his brother with full of affection
Mr. Jeon cleared his throat "gguk give some time for me too "
"I all so missed my son "
JEON GGUK
😤😤 i hate you appa
JEON GGUK
Hyung what happened why are you behaving like this 🥺
KIM TAEHYUNG
Gguk it's nothing it's
Taehyung remember the kiss that's why he avoided gguk
JEON JUNGKOOK
(Looks at taehyung and gguk)
JEON GGUK
(cries and runs from there)
JEON JUNGKOOK
(Smiles and looking at taehyung)
KIM TAEHYUNG
What kookie do you need anything ?
JEON JUNGKOOK
Nothing just come here
KIM TAEHYUNG
(Goes near jungkook)
JEON JUNGKOOK
You thinking about the kiss right ? That's why you avoid gguk right?
KIM TAEHYUNG
Ho--- how do you know about the kiss
JEON JUNGKOOK
Because it's me who kissed you
JEON JUNGKOOK
Yes it's me hyungie
After that jungkook tells everything what happened to him and gguk
KIM TAEHYUNG
I ca--- can't believe it's real life kookie not movie
Sat slouched in a corner booth, his tray piled high with food. Every bite was mechanical; he wasn’t hungry. He was angry, sad, frustrated — and, most of all, lonely
JEON GGUK
(He shoveled spoonfuls of rice into his mouth, his eyes burned with tears)
JEON GGUK
Why… why is Taehyung hyung avoiding me? (muttered under his breath, between bites)
The spoon slipped from his hand as more tears fell, and he began to eat again, trying to focus on the food, but it was no use. The sadness clung to him like a heavy fog
Across the table, Mr. Jeon, his father, watched quietly. He had seen his son eat like this before, but never with tears in his eyes
“Gguk…” he said softly. “Son… what happened?”
JEON GGUK
(Wiped his face roughly with the back of his hand) It’s nothing, Appa. I’m fine
“Fine?” Mr. Jeon raised an eyebrow. “Son, you’re crying while eating three bowls of food. Tell me what’s wrong.”
JEON GGUK
It’s… Taehyung hyung. He’s avoiding me 😭😭
“Avoiding you?” Mr. Jeon repeated, confused. “Why would Taehyung avoid you?”
JEON GGUK
(Looked down at his tray, poking at the food) i don't know 😭
JEON GGUK
He’s avoiding me! I think he hates me now…
From the light emerged a figure — the same old woman who had cursed him months ago. But now, she smiled, her eyes kind and gentle.
> “I have come to bless you both,” the witch said softly, her voice like wind chimes.
“You have faced confusion, fear, and longing… but your hearts are true. May happiness follow you.”
Gguk was calm enough to notice the waiter approaching
On his tray was a small, perfectly made pudding — his favorite dessert
JEON GGUK
(Barely glanced at the waiter…)
His breath caught. The person standing before him looked exactly like Taehyung — the same soft smile, the same bright eyes — but something was off. His side neck and hands were decorated with tattoos Jungkook had never seen on Taehyung
JEON GGUK
Will you marry me 😍
VINCENT
(Tilted his head, his eyes judging, but not unkindly)
Nearby, Mr. Jeon’s eyes nearly popped out of his head. “Gguk… son… sit down first.” He turned to Vincent. “Please forgive my son. He’s… a child.”
JEON GGUK
(Waved his hands frantically) No I’m not a child 😤😤 . I’m an adult Look at me 😌
VINCENT
(Smile widened slightly, as if amused by gguk cuteness) 💭 Cute
VINCENT
It’s alright, sir (said politely)But I may need some time to answer
JEON GGUK
(Frown disappeared instantly) Time? (His eyes sparkled with excitement)
JEON GGUK
Do you want to go on a date with me?
JEON GGUK
Yes (said eagerly, grabbing Vincent’s hand before he could move)
Then let’s go! And… Appa (said, spinning slightly to face his father with Vincent in hand) I’m going on a date with my hubby. Take care of Kook and Taehyung hyung
Mr. Jeon froze, mouth open, speechless. “😶😶😶”
VINCENT
(Chuckled softly, his grip on Gguk's hand firm but gentle)
Gguk and Vincent walked out of the canteen, leaving Mr. Jeon staring after them with a mixture of shock, amusement, and… maybe pride
“I… I think he’s finally happy,” Mr. Jeon muttered to himself, smiling.

The Courage You Gave Me
The sun was barely up when the alarm buzzed softly through the quiet apartment
TAEHYUNG
(Groaned, eyes half-closed, reaching blindly for the snooze button)
The sheets were warm, the air crisp — the kind of morning that made you want to stay wrapped in sleep forever
But a hand brushed his shoulder gently
JUNGKOOK
Hyung, you’ll be late again (low and teasing, still rough from sleep)
TAEHYUNG
(Blinked his eyes open)
JUNGKOOK
(Stood beside the bed, already dressed in his hospital scrubs, hair slightly damp from a shower)
He looked annoyingly fresh for someone who woke up at 5:30 a.m
TAEHYUNG
(Rubbed his eyes) Five more minutes (mumbled)
JUNGKOOK
(Chuckled and leaned down, his breath warm against Taehyung’s ear) If you’re late again, Captain Park is going to make you write another report
That made Taehyung sit up instantly
TAEHYUNG
(His messy hair sticking up) Ugh, I hate those reports 😤
JUNGKOOK
(Smiled, satisfied) That’s what I thought
He handed Taehyung a cup of warm coffee, the one he always made — just the right amount of sugar, no cream
TAEHYUNG
(Took a sip, eyes softening) You know, you don’t have to make coffee for me every morning
JUNGKOOK
I know (leaning against the wall with a small smile) But if I don’t, you’ll skip coffee again. And then complain about headaches later
TAEHYUNG
(Looked down, shy) You’re annoying, you know that?
JUNGKOOK
Yeah (said simply) but you still agreed to marry me
That made Taehyung smile — the kind of small, quiet smile Jungkook always loved
The day had barely begun, and the office was already buzzing with noise
Papers shuffled, coffee cups clinked, and someone was laughing too loudly near the break area
TAEHYUNG
(Sat at his desk, flipping through case reports, trying to tune everything out)
He worked hard, but his quiet nature often made him the target of teasing
“Hey, Officer Kim,” said Minho, one of his coworkers, walking by with a smirk. “You still afraid of the dark alley patrols? Don’t worry, we’ll protect you.”
A couple of others laughed.
TAEHYUNG
(Forced a polite smile, pretending it didn’t bother him)
He had always been this way — too soft to fight back, too kind to answer harshly
But deep inside, it stung.
Captain Park came out of his office. “Kim Taehyung,” he called. “You’re on report duty again. You didn’t finish the paperwork from last week.”
TAEHYUNG
(Shoulders slumped) Yes, sir
As the captain left, Minho whispered, “You should’ve been a librarian, not a cop.”
TAEHYUNG
(He just stared down at the papers, trying to focus, trying not to let the words sink in)
Jungkook was already in the emergency wing.
He moved confidently through the corridors — calm, focused, and composed.
“Dr. Jeon,” a nurse called out, “we’ve got a car accident victim coming in — critical condition.”
JUNGKOOK
I’m on it (replied immediately)
For the next hour, his world was only bright lights, surgical gloves, and the sound of machines. He was good at his job — too good, sometimes. His hands never shook, his mind never faltered.
But when the chaos quieted, and the patient was safe, he leaned against the wall for a second and exhaled deeply
The sound of the apartment door unlocking broke the silence
TAEHYUNG
(Entered first, his uniform jacket hanging loosely over one arm)
He looked tired — not from work, but from the way he held himself all day
JUNGKOOK
(Looked up from the kitchen)
Where he was cooking dinner
TAEHYUNG
Captain gave me extra reports again (muttered)
JUNGKOOK
(Frowned) Because of what?
TAEHYUNG
(Hesitated) I… forgot to check one file from last week
JUNGKOOK
(Turned off the stove and walked over, folding his arms) Hyung
TAEHYUNG
(Looked up at him)
JUNGKOOK
You didn’t forget (said quietly)You just let them talk you into doing extra work again, didn’t you?
Taehyung said nothing. The silence between them felt thick.
JUNGKOOK
(Sighed, his tone softening) You can’t keep letting people treat you like that. You’re a police officer, hyung. You have every right to stand up for yourself
TAEHYUNG
(Dropped his gaze) I know, but… I don’t want trouble. They’ll just laugh more
JUNGKOOK
(Reached out and cupped his cheek gently) You’re not weak, you’re kind. But kindness shouldn’t mean being afraid
TAEHYUNG
(Eyes softened, and he leaned into Jungkook’s touch) You always sound so brave. I wish I could be like that
JUNGKOOK
(Smiled faintly) You already are. You just don’t see it yet
Later that night, they sat together on the couch, watching an old movie.
Taehyung’s head rested on Jungkook’s shoulder, their hands intertwined. The world outside was quiet.
TAEHYUNG
Do you ever get scared?
JUNGKOOK
(Looked down at him) Of what?
TAEHYUNG
Losing people. Failing. The dark, maybe
JUNGKOOK
(Thought for a moment) Of course I do. Everyone gets scared. The difference is, I don’t let fear decide what I do next
TAEHYUNG
(Nodded slowly, eyes half-closed) Maybe one day I’ll learn that
JUNGKOOK
(Pressed a kiss to his forehead)You will. And when you do… I’ll be right there
The morning light in Seoul was golden and slow.
Taehyung stood by the kitchen window
Still in his T-shirt and sweatpants, eyes half-closed as he stirred the eggs on the stove. His hair was messy; Jungkook always said it made him look soft, like a sleepy cat.
JUNGKOOK
(Padded in quietly, rubbing his eyes) You’re cooking? That’s new.
TAEHYUNG
(Turned, lips twitching) You make coffee every morning. I figured it’s my turn
JUNGKOOK
(Smiled and leaned against the counter, watching him move around the kitchen) You look different today
TAEHYUNG
(Raised an eyebrow) Different how?
JUNGKOOK
Confident (simply)
TAEHYUNG
(Laughed under his breath) It’s just eggs, Kookie
JUNGKOOK
Still counts (teased, stepping closer. He reached out, brushing a crumb from Taehyung’s cheek) You’re getting better at mornings
Taehyung arrived at the police station earlier than usual
He’d promised Jungkook he’d try to stop shrinking away when people teased him, even if that meant just holding his head a little higher.
As he walked through the office, Minho gave his usual smirk. “Officer Kim, did you bring your courage today?”
TAEHYUNG
(stopped, heart pounding, but instead of forcing a smile, he just said, calm and even) Maybe you’ll find out when we’re on patrol
Minho blinked. For once, he didn’t know what to say.
Taehyung sat down at his desk, cheeks warm, and let out a quiet breath. It wasn’t much, but it was something.
The hospital was crowded like always
Jungkook had three surgeries scheduled, each more complicated than the last.
Between procedures, he found Yoongi—his senior—in the staff lounge, scrolling through reports.
JUNGKOOK
You’re still here? Hyung
YOONGI
(Looked up and smiled faintly) Yeah
YOONGI
You sound like my conscience (said with a chuckle, standing) Don’t worry, I’ll be fine
Jungkook nodded, but something about the tone sat strangely with him—too practiced, too guarded. He shook the thought away and went back to work
By the time Jungkook came home, Taehyung had already changed into his house clothes and was sitting on the floor with two bowls of ramen.
TAEHYUNG
You’re late (said softly)Long day?
JUNGKOOK
Long everything (dropped onto the couch beside him, shoulders slumping) But I heard good things about Officer Kim today
TAEHYUNG
(Blinked) You… heard?
JUNGKOOK
Your colleague called the hospital this afternoon to confirm something for a report (smirking) She mentioned that you actually answered Minho back
TAEHYUNG
(Ears turned pink) It wasn’t a big deal
JUNGKOOK
It is to me (leaned back, eyes gentle) I’m proud of you
TAEHYUNG
(Looked at him quietly, a small smile forming) You always say things like that. How do you make it sound so real
They ended up on the balcony
City lights shimmering below.
JUNGKOOK
hyung You ever think about what’s next? After the wedding?
TAEHYUNG
(Thought for a moment) Maybe a place a little outside the city. Somewhere quiet
JUNGKOOK
(Hummed) As long as there’s a hospital nearby
TAEHYUNG
(Chuckled) You’d miss the noise too much
JUNGKOOK
(Turned to look at him) Maybe. But I think I’d miss you more if you were still afraid of everything
TAEHYUNG
(Looked back, eyes soft but steady) I’m trying. For you
JUNGKOOK
For yourself (corrected gently) Do it for yourself, and I’ll be beside you
TAEHYUNG
(Nodded, the night air cool against his skin. He reached out, lacing his fingers with Jungkook’s)
TAEHYUNG
(Kissed Jungkook 's hand)
The rain hadn’t stopped since morning.
From the hospital windows, the city looked like it was breathing mist—cars moving in slow streaks of light, umbrellas blooming and closing like tired flowers
Jungkook was halfway through his shift when something small began to bother him
A patient who had passed away two nights ago—a quiet man with no family—wasn’t in the morgue list anymore. The file simply said “transferred.” But transferred where? There was no location, no paperwork trail.
He frowned, checking again. Transferred—authorized by Dr. Min Yoongi
JUNGKOOK
Yoongi hyung (called as he caught up with him near the elevator)
YOONGI
(Turned, expression calm as always) Yes, Jungkook?
JUNGKOOK
I was updating the post-op records. I noticed the body from ward 4B is marked as transferred. Do you know where it went?
YOONGI
(Smile didn’t reach his eyes) Routine paperwork. The family wanted a private hand-off
JUNGKOOK
There’s no family listed (said quietly)
For a moment, Yoongi’s gaze sharpened—just a flicker—before he spoke again
YOONGI
Sometimes the records are cleaned for confidentiality. Don’t worry about it
YOONGI
(He pressed the elevator button, doors sliding open)
Go home, Dr. Jeon. You’ve been here since dawn
JUNGKOOK
(Nodded slowly) Yes hyung
When Jungkook finally got back, the apartment lights were soft and warm.
Taehyung was sitting on the couch, legs curled under a blanket, a mug of coffee beside him.
TAEHYUNG
(Looked up immediately) You’re late again. Rough day?
JUNGKOOK
(Exhaled and sat down beside him) Strange day
TAEHYUNG
(Tilted his head) Strange how?
JUNGKOOK
(Hesitated, not wanting to worry him) Just… some files that didn’t make sense. Maybe it’s nothing
TAEHYUNG
(Brow furrowed) You sound like you don’t believe that
JUNGKOOK
(Smiled faintly) Maybe I just need sleep
TAEHYUNG
(Watched him quietly. Then he reached out, resting a hand over Jungkook’s) You always take care of everyone else, but you never let anyone take care of you
JUNGKOOK
(Turned his hand and laced their fingers together) I have you, don’t I?
TAEHYUNG
(Lips curved into a small smile) Always
TAEHYUNG
(hold jungkook face and look at his eyes )
JUNGKOOK
(Smile and relaxing in Taehyung's hand)
TAEHYUNG
(Other hand was on Jungkook's waist and pulled him into his lap)
TAEHYUNG
(Started to kiss)
TAEHYUNG
(Might lightly brush his tongue over kook's lips, asking permission to continue)
JUNGKOOK
( opening his mouth)
TAEHYUNG
(His tongues lightly dance with one kook.he explores kook mouth)
The soft and more assertive kissing, reflecting different levels of desire
The apartment was dark except for the city lights filtering through the curtains.
Jungkook lay awake, staring at the ceiling, replaying Yoongi’s words in his mind.
Stirred in his sleep, unconsciously reaching for him
Jungkook turned on his side, watching the slow rhythm of Taehyung’s breathing, and the knot in his chest eased a little
JUNGKOOK
(He brushed a hand through Taehyung’s hair, whispering to the quiet room) You’d tell me not to overthink. But something’s wrong, Tae
Taehyung’s day began like any other
Early patrol, reports, small talk. But his phone buzzed between tasks—a short message from Jungkook.
JUNGKOOK
💬 Do police have access to hospital transfer logs?
TAEHYUNG
💬 Not directly. Why ?
JUNGKOOK
💬 Just curious. Tell you later.
Taehyung frowned. Jungkook rarely texted from work unless it was important. He typed back:
TAEHYUNG
💬 Everything okay?
JUNGKOOK
💬 Yeah. Love you. Be safe.
Taehyung Stared at the message for a moment before tucking his phone
The rain had stopped, but the sky over Seoul still looked heavy—low clouds drifting above the glass hospital tower
JUNGKOOK
(Sat at his desk long after his shift had ended, eyes fixed on the patient transfer list glowing from the screen)
Three identical “transfer” notes signed under Yoongi’s login
JUNGKOOK
(He hesitated, glancing toward the closed office across the hall)
Yoongi’s light was off. The door, however, was slightly ajar
The room smelled faintly of coffee and disinfectant
JUNGKOOK
(Stepped in quietly, guilt pricking at the edge of his thoughts)
Just look at the files, he told himself. Then leave
On the desk sat Yoongi’s laptop, half-open, Jungkook’s fingers hovered for a moment before he pressed the spacebar.
A folder sat on the desktop labeled
Inside were dozens of notes, dates, and images—scanned autopsy forms, supply invoices, shipping manifests. At the top of the newest file was a line that made Jungkook’s stomach drop
JUNGKOOK
Possible illegal extraction of organs from unclaimed bodies—investigation ongoing (to himself)
Yoongi had written timestamps, photos of falsified death certificates, and one final entry dated three days ago
JUNGKOOK
Can’t trust administration. Someone higher is signing these off (to himself)
A quiet voice behind him broke the air
YOONGI
Curious, aren’t you?
YOONGI
(Stood in the doorway, expression unreadable)
JUNGKOOK
I thought maybe it was you hyung (said honestly, closing the laptop) But you’ve been investigating it
YOONGI
(Sighed and rubbed the bridge of his nose) I started last week. Every time I get close, the files disappear. Someone’s cleaning the records faster than I can copy them
YOONGI
(Shook his head) I don’t know yet. But it’s not just here—there’s a shipment trail that leads outside the country
The two doctors exchanged a long, heavy glance. For the first time, they shared the same unease
JUNGKOOK
Then we find out who’s behind it
YOONGI
(Nodded) Carefully. If they learn we’re looking, we’ll both disappear
Taehyung was half-asleep on the couch when the door opened
The clock showed almost midnight
JUNGKOOK
(Stepped inside, his shoulders tense, eyes distant)
TAEHYUNG
You said you’d be home by nine
JUNGKOOK
I know. I’m sorry hyung (slipped off his coat, avoiding his gaze) There was… extra work
TAEHYUNG
(Studied him. Jungkook’s hands were trembling slightly, and his smile didn’t reach his eyes)
TAEHYUNG
You haven’t been yourself lately,Is something wrong ?
JUNGKOOK
(Shook his head) Just stress. Nothing you need to worry about hyung
TAEHYUNG
(Reached out, catching his wrist) When you hide things, you look like this—quiet, tired, like you’re somewhere else
Jungkook finally met his eyes. The concern there almost broke through his defenses
JUNGKOOK
(He brushed Taehyung’s hair back, managing a faint smile) You know me too well
TAEHYUNG
That’s what happens when you live with someone
JUNGKOOK
I’ll tell you soon (whispered)
TAEHYUNG
(Hugs back and caressed his back )
Taehyung Holding him for a long time until the tension eased
Taehyung found his thoughts wandering. Jungkook’s distracted eyes, the late nights, the way he flinched when his phone buzzed—it all echoed in his head
Minho nudged him. “You look like you didn’t sleep."
TAEHYUNG
(Blinked) Just… thinking
“About your wedding or your doctor?” Minho teased.
TAEHYUNG
(Smiled weakly but said nothing)
He opened his notebook and began to write a few quiet notes under the heading Jungkook’s Behavior
Seems worried, hiding something.
He stared at the list for a while, then added one more line:
Find out what’s wrong before it’s too late
The wind that evening was sharp, carrying the faint smell of rain. Inside the hospital, most lights were dimmed, but Jungkook and Yoongi’s office still glowed faintly against the corridor’s silence
Stacks of reports covered the desk, their edges curling under the weight of too many sleepless nights
YOONGI
(Rubbed his temple, staring at the laptop screen) This is it, Jungkook. These signatures—these two doctors—Dr. Han and Dr. Lee. They’re the ones signing the falsified transfer papers
JUNGKOOK
(Leaned closer) Are you sure hyung?
YOONGI
(Opened another folder, showing screenshots of correspondence) Emails, payment transfers. They’ve been shipping organs through the hospital’s research division. Labeling them as ‘specimen exports'
JUNGKOOK
(Heart pounded) How long has this been going on?
YOONGI
Months. Maybe a year (voice was tight) We can’t stay quiet. We should go to the police—now
JUNGKOOK
(Shook his head immediately) No hyung
JUNGKOOK
You saw how deep this goes. What if someone in the police is already involved? If we go to them without proof, we’ll be the ones they silence first
YOONGI
(Hesitated. The thought wasn’t impossible) Then what do you suggest?
JUNGKOOK
The Dean (said after a pause)He has authority over all of us. If we show him the evidence directly, maybe he can stop it quietly before it spreads
YOONGI
(Leaned back in his chair, considering) It’s risky. But… maybe you’re right. We’ll copy everything tonight and meet him first thing in the morning
JUNGKOOK
(Nodded) Good. I’ll handle the presentation files. You back up the originals
YOONGI
(Nodes his head thinking something)
The two doctors worked in near silence for hours, the only sound the faint hum of the computer and the click of keys. Outside, thunder rolled over the city like a warning.
The apartment lights were warm, the scent of dinner still hanging in the air. Taehyung looked up from the couch as Jungkook came in, soaked from the rain
TAEHYUNG
You’re drenched (rushing over with a towelI told you to carry an umbrella
JUNGKOOK
(Smiled faintly letting him fuss over him) You sound like my mother
TAEHYUNG
Someone has to (dried his hair gently, eyes soft but worried) You’ve been late every night this week. What’s really going on, kook?
Jungkook hesitated. He’d promised himself he wouldn’t tell yet—but seeing Taehyung’s face, the worry in his eyes, made it impossible to keep lying
JUNGKOOK
(He sat down on the couch, pulling Taehyung beside him)
JUNGKOOK
There’s something happening in the hospital, “Something dangerous
TAEHYUNG
(Frowned) What do you mean?
JUNGKOOK
(Took a deep breath) We found out two of our doctors—Han and Lee—they’re trafficking human organs. Taking them from deceased patients and selling them overseas
TAEHYUNG
(Eyes widened, color draining from his face) What—? kook, that’s—
JUNGKOOK
I know (voice was calm, but his hands were trembling slightly) Yoongi and I found proof. We’re going to show it to the Dean this week
TAEHYUNG
(Gripped his sleeve) No, Kookie. You’ll get hurt. You don’t know what these people can do
JUNGKOOK
(Smiled softly, brushing Taehyung’s hair from his eyes) Hey hyung… look at me.
TAEHYUNG
(Shook his head, voice breaking) I can’t see you in pain
JUNGKOOK
(Pulled him into a hug, his voice steady near Taehyung’s ear) You’re beside me, Tae. How could I get hurt?
Taehyung didn’t answer. He just held him tighter, feeling Jungkook’s heartbeat through the quiet
JUNGKOOK
(Pulled back slightly, pressing a kiss to Taehyung’s forehead) Let’s not talk about scary things before dinner, okay?
JUNGKOOK
(Placed a finger gently on his lips) Shh. I’m starving. You didn’t forget to cook, did you, Officer Kim?
TAEHYUNG
(Blinked, caught between worry and exasperation) You’re unbelievable
JUNGKOOK
Only when I’m hungry (grinning)
They sat side by side at the small kitchen table, bowls of rice and soup between them. The mood had softened again, but the shadow of the earlier conversation still lingered.
TAEHYUNG
(Broke the silence)You always say I’m too scared, but now I think you’re the one being reckless
JUNGKOOK
Maybe (admitted with a half-smile)But someone has to do the right thing
TAEHYUNG
(Sighed, staring into his soup) You and Yoongi hyung can handle this, but promise me one thing—if something feels wrong, you’ll walk away
When they finished, Jungkook stood to wash the dishes. Taehyung followed him into the kitchen, drying plates silently.
JUNGKOOK
Actually, there’s something you can help me with
TAEHYUNG
(Looked up) Anything
JUNGKOOK
(Met his eyes) Find out how these organs are being exported. Someone in foreign trade or customs must be involved. You have access to data the police keep, right?
TAEHYUNG
(Nodded slowly)You think it goes beyond the hospital?
TAEHYUNG
(Reached out, gently touching his arm) Okay. I’ll find out. I’ll help you
JUNGKOOK
(Expression softened, relief flickering through his eyes) Thank you, hyungie
TAEHYUNG
(Smiled faintly and leaned forward, pressing a quiet kiss to Jungkook’s forehead)Just come home safe. That’s all I want
JUNGKOOK
(Nodes his head and hugs him)
The morning sun over Seoul was pale and cold, glinting faintly off hospital windows
Jungkook and Yoongi meet the Dean with their evidence but Dean said they want to meet in his house
Jungkook walked beside Yoongi through the long corridor, both of them carrying the same invisible weight — a USB drive tucked into Yoongi’s pocket, holding proof that could ruin lives
YOONGI
You sure about this?
JUNGKOOK
(Nodded) We can’t talk in the hospital. There are eyes everywhere
YOONGI
Still (murmured)meeting the Dean outside work feels… off
JUNGKOOK
He said it himself , He wants to keep it private. Maybe he’s just being cautious
YOONGI
(Gave a dry chuckle) Or maybe he’s scared, too
Taehyung sat in his small office at the police station, files scattered across his desk
The hum of computers and the murmur of voices filled the background, but his mind was elsewhere — on Jungkook’s worried eyes last night, the quiet tremor in his voice.
TAEHYUNG
(Rubbed his temples) Okay, Tae, think…
He opened his database terminal and started checking export records — medical shipments, cargo labeled as “biological materials.” Everything looked… too clean. Perfect. No irregularities at all
TAEHYUNG
No way all reports are spotless ,Someone’s cleaning the records before they reach us
TAEHYUNG
(Leaned back in his chair, exhaling) Who could even do that?
Then, suddenly, a thought sparked
TAEHYUNG
(A small smile touched his lips)
Jung Hoseok — his oldest friend, the one person who could hack into anything if you bribed him with bubble tea
TAEHYUNG
(Grabbed his phone immediately)
Jung Ho-seok / Hobi
TaeTae ,what’s up? 📱
TAEHYUNG
Hobi, I need your help. Like, serious help 📱
Jung Ho-seok / Hobi
Hmm, let me guess, you accidentally erased your playlist again📱
TAEHYUNG
No, not this time! It’s about a case. Something… complicatedb📱
There was a pause, followed by the sound of laughter and faint music in the background
Jung Ho-seok / Hobi
Ahh Tae, I’d love to help, but I’m in Japan right now. Me and Jackson came to celebrate our anniversary📱
TAEHYUNG
(Blinked) Anniversary? Oh… right
He could hear Jackson’s voice faintly in the background — cheerful and loud
JACKSON
Baby, Come on, let's start the ride again
TAEHYUNG
(Eyes widened) Ride?! What 📱
Jung Ho-seok / Hobi
(Laughing) Not that kind of ride, you pervert. Roller coaster ride 📱
TAEHYUNG
(Flushed) Oh I—uh—right. Got it 📱
Jung Ho-seok / Hobi
You’re still the same shy baby, huh? 📱
TAEHYUNG
Shut up and listen! I need you to check something for me. The hospital where Jungkook works — there’s something shady going on. Illegal exports, fake documents. I think someone’s altering police data too 📱
Hobi’s tone changed instantly — from playful to serious
Jung Ho-seok / Hobi
Got it. I’ll be back in Seoul tomorrow. You can come by my house in the evening; we’ll dig into it together 📱
TAEHYUNG
(Exhaled in relief) Okay. I’ll be there. Thank you, Hobi 📱
Jung Ho-seok / Hobi
Hey, for you, my door’s always open, bro 📱
TAEHYUNG
Wait—Jackson hyung called you baby—ride again? 📱
Jung Ho-seok / Hobi
(Snorts) I swear, Tae, it’s just a roller coaster 📱
TAEHYUNG
Mmhmm, okay okay 📱
Jung Ho-seok / Hobi
You’re blushing, aren’t you? 📱
Jung Ho-seok / Hobi
(Laughing) See you tomorrow, Officer Kim 📱
The call ended with Taehyung shaking his head and smiling despite the situation. But his smile faded quickly. The reality of what he’d said out loud — illegal exports, fake documents — hit him like a wave.
TAEHYUNG
(Whispered to himself) Please, Kookie… don’t get too deep into this
The next evening, the Seoul skyline was turning gold when Taehyung knocked on the bright blue door of Hobi’s apartment. Music pulsed faintly from inside
The door opened to reveal a smiling Hoseok in a loose hoodie and glasses, hair still damp from a shower
Jung Ho-seok / Hobi
Officer Kim, You actually came on time. I was betting you’d get lost on the way
TAEHYUNG
I almost did. You moved your plants again
Jung Ho-seok / Hobi
(Laughs)They need sunlight, not interrogation
They hugged briefly, and Hobi led him into the living room cluttered with monitors, cables, and the faint smell of coffee
TAEHYUNG
You weren’t joking when you said you’d built a spaceship in here
Jung Ho-seok / Hobi
Please, this is art ( gestured at the glowing screens) So, what exactly are we hacking today, Detective Braveheart?
TAEHYUNG
(Hesitated, then lowered his voice)
TAEHYUNG
Hospital export records. Jungkook found out some doctors are trafficking organs. Someone inside the system’s cleaning the evidence
Jung Ho-seok / Hobi
(Smile faded) You’re serious
TAEHYUNG
Too serious. Can you check who’s been altering the files?
Jung Ho-seok / Hobi
(Nodded, sliding into his chair)
Jung Ho-seok / Hobi
Give me five minutes. Or ten. Okay, maybe twenty—don’t look at me like that
The keyboards clacked. Code scrolled fast across the screens; reflected light painted both their faces blue.
Taehyung stood behind him, arms folded tightly
Jung Ho-seok / Hobi
Hmm… Someone’s using a ghost account linked to an overseas IP—looks like Singapore—but wait…
Jung Ho-seok / Hobi
The account was registered through the hospital’s internal network. That means an insider created it
Jung Ho-seok / Hobi
(He Zoomed in on the data trail, then frowned deeper)
Jung Ho-seok / Hobi
Oh, this just got weird. The same account accessed police export servers three times this week. It’s hiding right under your system’s nose
TAEHYUNG
So whoever’s behind this… can erase both hospital and police records?
Jung Ho-seok / Hobi
Exactly. And they’re good—like, disturbingly good
TAEHYUNG
(Exhaled slowly) Then we need to be better
Jung Ho-seok / Hobi
(Turned to him, concern softening his voice) Tae, you sure you want to dig this deep? This isn’t paperwork anymore. This is people who make others disappear
TAEHYUNG
My kook is already in the middle of it. I can’t just watch
Jung Ho-seok / Hobi
(Studied him for a moment, then smiled faintly) Okay, hero. We’ll dig. But you owe me dinner for the rest of my life
The Courage You Gave Me - final
Jung Ho-seok / Hobi
(Studied him for a moment, then smiled faintly)
Jung Ho-seok / Hobi
Okay, hero. We’ll dig. But you owe me dinner for the rest of my life
They shared a brief laugh before turning back to the screen.
Outside, lightning flashed somewhere far beyond the window.
Jungkook and Yoongi arrived, the city was dark and quiet
Dean Park’s house stood in the upscale district of Gangnam — tall gates, manicured lawn, warm lights glowing through tinted windows
DEAN
(Greeted them at the door, smiling politely) Dr. Jeon, Dr. Min — thank you for coming
DEAN
I Didn’t want to risk talking in the hospital
Dean said, locking the door behind them
The living room was large but oddly empty — no family photos, no signs of warmth. The faint smell of antiseptic lingered, strange for a home
JUNGKOOK
(Set his folder on the table) Sir, we found proof that two of our doctors — Han and Lee — have been falsifying transplant reports. We think they’re involved in organ trafficking
DEAN
(Expression didn’t change much. He leaned back slightly, hands folded) That’s… a serious accusation
YOONGI
It’s not an accusation, It’s evidence. Emails, financial records, everything
DEAN
(Took the folder, flipping through it slowly. For a long time, he said nothing)
JUNGKOOK
(Glanced at Yoongi, uneasy. Something about the Dean’s silence felt too controlled, too calm)
Finally, the Dean looked up and smiled faintly
DEAN
You both did well bringing this to me. I’ll handle it from here
YOONGI
(Frowned) Shouldn’t we go to the authorities?
DEAN
(Shook his head gently) No. If this gets out before we confirm everything, it will ruin the hospital’s reputation. Leave it with me
JUNGKOOK
(Hesitated) Sir, with all due respect, we can’t just—
DEAN
Dr. Jeon,(interrupted softly, his gaze sharp now) I said I’ll handle it
JUNGKOOK
(Swallowed hard, forcing a nod) Understood
They left the Dean’s house night, neither of them felt relief.
YOONGI
(Muttered under his breath as they reached the car) He already knew
The light in the study still on, the curtain slightly moving — and felt a chill run down his spine
JUNGKOOK
(Looked back at the house ) Yeah,I think so too
Jungkook and yoongi had gone a short distance did yoongi realize that he had left his mobile phone at the dean's house.
They turned the cart around and started heading towards the dean's house.
YOONGI
The Dean went completely silent after we left (driving)
JUNGKOOK
Did you think he will do something?
YOONGI
But his silence says something kook
JUNGKOOK
Because silence means something. Either he’s scared… or he’s hiding something
YOONGI
(Gave a humorless chuckle) You sound more like a detective than a doctor
JUNGKOOK
Guess Taehyung’s rubbing off on me (He smiled briefly)
They reached Dean house near
JUNGKOOK
(His smile Then grew serious again)
JUNGKOOK
hyung There—see that car ahead? That’s his.
Through the mist, the Dean’s black sedan glided down a dirt road that wound deep into the countryside
There were no more streetlights, only the silver glint of moonlight on wet gravel
YOONGI
(Adjusted his seatbelt) This is getting creepy
JUNGKOOK
Wanted proof, right? Hyung
YOONGI
Yeah, but I didn’t ask for a horror movie
The Dean’s car slowed before a high gate barely visible behind overgrown hedges
It opened automatically, and the sedan disappeared inside
Their own car a short distance away, cutting the engine
They sat in silence for a moment, listening to the rain tick against the roof
YOONGI
We’re actually doing this, aren’t we?
JUNGKOOK
We can’t back off now
They stepped out carefully, closing the doors without a sound
The forest around them was damp and heavy, their breath pale in the air
Through the branches they could see it—a mansion, grand but old, its windows glowing faintly
A single figure, the Dean, walked up the stone path carrying the very folder Jungkook had given him
YOONGI
He didn’t even hide it
JUNGKOOK
He’s delivering it to someone
They crouched behind a hedge, watching the Dean disappear through massive doors that shut with a dull echo
JUNGKOOK
(Whispered) So who lives out here?
YOONGI
(Shook his head) I don’t know. But whoever it is, that’s who’s really behind all this
They exchanged a tense glance.
JUNGKOOK
We can’t just walk in
YOONGI
We wait. Watch first. When the lights move, we move
For a while, they hid among the trees
A faint hum drifted from the mansion—voices, distant and indistinct, then the clink of glass
YOONGI
(Voice was barely a breath) I can’t believe this. We’re doctors, not spies
JUNGKOOK
Then let’s hope we’re good at pretending
They crept closer, feet sinking softly into the wet ground. The garden smelled of pine and rain. Through a narrow window, Jungkook and yoongi saw the Dean bowing before three shadowed figures at a long table.
One of the figures turned slightly—enough for light to catch the edge of a ring, engraved with a hospital insignia
JUNGKOOK
(Whisper trembled )That’s Dr. Lee
The second figure spoke, voice low but firm. “I warned you, Dean. No more witnesses.”
YOONGI
(Breath caught) Did you hear—
JUNGKOOK
(Hand shot out, pulling him lower behind the window ledge)
Inside, footsteps echoed closer
Someone stepped out onto the balcony above them. Raindrops slid off the railing, landing inches from where Jungkook knelt
YOONGI
(Mouthed, Don’t move)
The figure lingered a moment, scanning the darkness, then turned back inside
JUNGKOOK
(Exhaled shakily) We need to leave. Now
YOONGI
Not yet. We’re this close
The rain had not stopped. It slid down the windows of the vast mansion like liquid glass, blurring the view of the forest beyond. Inside, the air was thick with the smell of polished wood and silence
Jungkook and Yoongi moved through a narrow corridor lined with portraits. Every footstep echoed softly, so they timed their movements with the rumble of thunder outside.
JUNGKOOK
(whispering) If we get caught—
YOONGI
Thinking positive kook
They reached a half-open door. Through it, voices
The Dean’s low tone, and another, deeper, commanding voice they didn’t recognise at first
“You assured me the exports were secure, Park.”
DEAN
Yes, Minister. Everything was handled. The doctors who knew have been… managed
“Managed isn’t enough. If even one name leaks, it’s my position on the line"
YOONGI
(Eyes widened) Minister?
(He leaned close to Jungkook and mouthed silently, The Minister of Transport)
Dr. Lee: “We have new routes through the cargo terminals. The paperwork goes straight through the Ministry’s servers"
MINISTER
Good. Keep it that way. No one looks twice at a government shipment
Jungkook felt his stomach twist. It wasn’t just doctors—it was the government itself
He pulled out his phone, and opened the recording app. The red dot glowed faintly on the screen as he captured every word.
YOONGI
(under his breath) We have them. Let’s get out before they notice
JUNGKOOK
(nods) One more minute
At the same moment, Hobi’s apartment was glowing blue from the light of seven monitors
He was typing furiously, Taehyung pacing behind him
TAEHYUNG
You’re sure it’s not just another shell company?
Jung Ho-seok / Hobi
No. Look here—these payments, millions of won, routed through the Ministry of Transport’s logistics fund
TAEHYUNG
The Minister himself?
Jung Ho-seok / Hobi
Yeah. He’s the one authorising the fake shipments. Whoever he is, he’s the spider in the centre
TAEHYUNG
(Stopped pacing. His face went pale) Kookie and Yoongi are at the Dean’s place right now
Jung Ho-seok / Hobi
(Turned sharply) Then they’re walking straight into the spider’s nest
TAEHYUNG
I have the location of kookie's mobile phone, if I give it to you, can you use it to hack the CCTV camera there?
Jung Ho-seok / Hobi
Yes I can
Jung Ho-seok / Hobi
(He began hacking faster, muttering to himself) Come on, come on… give me camera access…
One of the screens flickered—grainy CCTV footage from a private security feed. The image cleared enough to show two figures moving through a hallway
Jung Ho-seok / Hobi
There. That’s them. That’s Jungkook
TAEHYUNG
(Leaned in) They’re inside…
TAEHYUNG
(Grabbed his phone, dialing Jungkook. It rang once)
Jung Ho-seok / Hobi
Tae, Don’t—
TAEHYUNG
They could be in danger—
Jungkook and Yoongi were only a few steps from the side door when a faint, bright sound shattered the silence.
JUNGKOOK
(Froze. His heart seemed to stop)
The phone in his pocket glowed softly with a familiar name: Taehyung 💜
YOONGI
(Face drained of color) Oh no
From deep inside the house came the sound of chairs scraping, voices cutting off
Lights flared down the hallway
Jungkook fumbled to silence the phone, but it was too late. Footsteps thundered closer
They dashed through the back corridor, the echo of footsteps chasing them. Jungkook clutched the phone, its screen still glowing faintly with Taehyung’s name
Jung Ho-seok / Hobi
taehyung please stop, look there because you Jungkook get caught , I keep telling you not to call, but you called him
TAEHYUNG
( He looked up at the CCTV feedz The picture had turned black) the feed’s gone
They stared at the dark screens, the rain outside the window tapping like a heartbeat
Jung Ho-seok / Hobi
Whatever happens next, they’re not alone. You got that?
TAEHYUNG
(nods) I’m not letting him face this without me
The rain hadn’t stopped since that night began. It poured down over the countryside like a curtain, hiding every shadow and secret in its heavy rhythm
Jungkook and Yoongi barely reached the end of the corridor when flashlights flared behind them
MINISTER
(coldly) And where do you think you’re going, doctors?
The Dean stepped forward, flanked by Dr. Lee and Dr. Han, both still wearing their white coats — now looking more like uniforms than lab coats
JUNGKOOK
Dean… we can explain—
Dr. Han: “Explain what? How you broke into the restricted archive?”
YOONGI
(calmly) We heard enough to know what you’ve been doing
MINISTER
(Sighed, his expression softening into something almost pitying)
MINISTER
You’re brilliant doctors, both of you. You could have been part of this… but you had to play heroes
JUNGKOOK
(Hand tightened around his phone inside his pocket, recording still running)
Yes Kookie tarted recording again 😌
Dr. Han : “And saving others. Foreign buyers pay enough to fund entire hospitals. It’s balance, Jeon Jungkook.”
YOONGI
That’s not balance. That’s murder dressed as medicine
DEAN
(Smile vanished) Then maybe you shouldn’t have come here
The room fell silent except for the rain outside
Taehyung had been pacing for an hour, unable to sit. Hobi was still glued to his monitors, muttering code like a prayer
Then Taehyung’s phone buzzed
Take his phone and look at the phone screen
He opened it — and the screen filled with shaky footage of the mansion hall. Jungkook’s voice, Yoongi’s voice, the Dean’s
Dean: “You could have been part of this…"
In video
The phone slipped from his hand and hit the floor
Jung Ho-seok / Hobi
Tae? What— (He picked up the phone, saw the video, and his face went pale) Oh my god
They looked at each other — a single moment of shock and decision
TAEHYUNG
(voice shaking) Hobi… you have to send this to the president Right now. This is enough to stop them
Jung Ho-seok / Hobi
Why should I send it to him? (He smirked faintly, fingers already flying across the keyboard)
TAEHYUNG
Because he’s the only one with authority to—
Jung Ho-seok / Hobi
(cuts in) No. The president can be silenced. Files can vanish. People can vanish. But the internet? (He looked up, eyes gleaming)No one can bury that
TAEHYUNG
(Blinked) You’re going to post it publicly?
Jung Ho-seok / Hobi
Yes. Once it’s online, the whole world will see. And no minister can cover it up
TAEHYUNG
(Nodded slowly, torn between fear and pride)
TAEHYUNG
Do anything you need to. I’m going to get him back
Jung Ho-seok / Hobi
Tae, wait—you can’t just go alone
TAEHYUNG
I’m not waiting anymore
He grabbed his jacket and keys. His voice softened for just a moment
TAEHYUNG
He’s my home, Hobi. I can’t lose him
Before Hobi could reply, the door shut behind him
The rain outside turned into a storm, flashing blue light across the city
Taehyung ran down the street, soaked through, but there was a strange calm in his eyes — a determination he hadn’t shown before
As he slid into his car, he opened the small tracking app on his phone
A single dot blinked on the map — far outside Seoul, near the forested countryside
TAEHYUNG
(He exhaled shakily) Thank you, Kookie… for listening to me
Two days ago, Jungkook had laughed when Taehyung secretly slipped the chip inside the case of his phone
JUNGKOOK
What is this, Officer Kim? You think I’ll get lost on the way to work?
TAEHYUNG
No, (softly) I just want to know where you are… always
Now, that little act was saving him.
TAEHYUNG
(He turned the car key) Hold on, Jungkook. I’m coming
Hobi leaned over the screens, lines of code spilling like light.
Jackson his boyfriend, just back from the kitchen
JACKSON
Baby, you’re doing it again — face all serious. What’s going on?
Jung Ho-seok / Hobi
Biggest hack of my life, babe
JACKSON
That’s not comforting
Jung Ho-seok / Hobi
We’re about to expose a minister and a hospital mafia. Want to make popcorn?
JACKSON
(Blinked, then grinned faintly) You’re unbelievable
Jung Ho-seok / Hobi
I know (typed faster) Once this goes up, they can’t hide. Not from Interpol, not from the public. Every transaction, every name — boom
The upload bar began to fill, glowing steadily.
Jung Ho-seok / Hobi
(Whispered) Come on, come on…
And as the final bar hit 100%, he smiled.
Jung Ho-seok / Hobi
It’s done. The world’s watching now
In the mansion’s main hall, the Minister and Dean was pacing.
JUNGKOOK
(Met his gaze calmly, despite the fear tightening his chest)
JUNGKOOK
Good. Then they’ll know where to find you too
Yoongi glanced at him — both silent, both standing taller than before
Dean turned to Dr. Lee and Dr. Han
JUNGKOOK
Take them upstairs. We’ll decide what to do in the morning
But before anyone could move, the lights flickered — once, twice — then went out completely
Somewhere outside, the distant wail of sirens echoed through the storm
TAEHYUNG
(In his car, speeding through the rain, Taehyung gripped the wheel tightly)
The map still glowed on his phone, Jungkook’s signal blinking faintly
Behind him, lightning lit the sky. Ahead, the countryside loomed — dark, endless
TAEHYUNG
(under his breath) No one hurts you, Kookie. Not while I’m breathing
The post had already gone viral
Millions of notifications lighting up phones across Seoul, across the country.
Hashtags rising, news channels scrambling
The truth had finally left the shadows
The night roared like a beast outside the mansion. Rain hit the windows in sharp streaks, lightning splitting the sky over the distant hills.
Inside, the atmosphere had shifted.
Every phone in the hall began to buzz at once — a chorus of alerts slicing through the silence.
MINISTER
What is that noise? (Take his phone)
DEAN
It’s… it’s trending (already opened)
Dr. Lee frowned, unlocking his phone — and froze.
The screen glowed with a headline that spread faster than anyone could read:
“EXCLUSIVE: Seoul Hospital Involved in Illegal Organ Export Scandal — Video Evidence Released.”
For a moment, nobody spoke. Then, one by one, their eyes turned toward Jungkook and Yoongi
JUNGKOOK
I sent the video to my taehyungie (playfully)
YOONGI
Wow , you did a good job 😎
MINISTER
(furious, voice trembling) What have you done?
JUNGKOOK
(Met his gaze, chest rising and falling) Told the truth
DEAN
You don’t understand what you’ve started—
JUNGKOOK
ouch (bite his lips where blood was coming)
YOONGI
You *other £ucking bi¢th 😡
YOONGI
Oh, we do. And it’s already too late 😌😏
The tension cracked like thunder
The Minister’s men moved forward, voices rising — but before anything could happen, Yoongi stepped protectively between them and Jungkook
There was a brief scuffle — a blur of movement, anger, and shouted words.
Nothing was clear; only the echo of conflict, the sound of defiance, the tremor of footsteps on marble
And then, through the heavy doors, came a voice that stopped everyone cold
He stood in the doorway, drenched from the rain, his police badge glinting faintly in the stormlight.
Every eye turned to him
TAEHYUNG
Step away from them
DEAN
(mocking) Officer Kim… brave of you to come alone
TAEHYUNG
Bravery isn’t about being alone. It’s about doing what’s right
Behind him, the faint sound of sirens began to echo in the distance — real this time, closing fast
JUNGKOOK
(Breath caught) Tae…
He took a step toward him, and Taehyung’s eyes softened just for a second — relief breaking through the storm in his expression
YOONGI
The video’s out. They can’t hide anymore
TAEHYUNG
You did it, Kookie
Hobi sat in front of the screen as comments poured in by the thousands
News outlets had picked it up; reporters were already outside government buildings
The Prime Minister’s office had released a statement.
JACKSON
You just started a revolution, babe
Jung Ho-seok / Hobi
(Smiled faintly, fingers still on the keyboard) No… I just pressed ‘upload’. They were the ones brave enough to give me something to post
He glanced at the news ticker scrolling across the screen
Minister of Transport Under Investigation.
Hospital Dean Suspended Pending Inquiry.
Jung Ho-seok / Hobi
(Exhaled) Tae, I hope you made it
Back in the mansion, the chaos had begun to fade.
The Minister’s guards were retreating as the sound of police cars grew louder.
Taehyung walked slowly to Jungkook, rain still dripping from his hair, his eyes shimmering in the low light.
TAEHYUNG
Thank you so much hyung be with my kookie till now (hugs yoongi)
TAEHYUNG
I was so scared I’d lose you
JUNGKOOK
(Smiled softly) You didn’t. You found me
TAEHYUNG
I used to think courage meant not being afraid. But now I know… (he took Jungkook’s hand) …it’s doing everything you can, even when you are
JUNGKOOK
(Eyes softened) Then you’ve become the bravest man I know
Lightning flashed outside, and for a moment, it lit there of their faces — tired, soaked, but safe
YOONGI
(Looked away with a faint smile)
YOONGI
Looks like we all made it out alive
JUNGKOOK
No… it’s just the beginning
Taehyung turned to look at Jungkook.
TAEHYUNG
You still think I’m afraid of everything?
JUNGKOOK
(smiling) Maybe a little
TAEHYUNG
Then I’ll just hold on to you until I’m not
JUNGKOOK
(Reached up, brushing a strand of wet hair from Taehyung’s face)
JUNGKOOK
That sounds like a deal, Officer Kim
JUNGKOOK
(Holds taehyung's neck and started to kiss him)
TAEHYUNG
(Hands on Jungkook 's waist)
YOONGI
