Relationships

Jungkook begins to notice that he's having issues when séx with Yoonji becomes more of a chore than something he wants to engage in. He thinks that perhaps he's just too exhausted from work. But work has been as usual. Maybe they need to add some spark to their relationship?

In reality, he wasn't in love with Yoonji. Jungkook is not someone who easily falls in love, so it's not news to him that he's not in love. But he likes her, and that's enough, isn't it? She is his girlfriend, and he genuinely likes her.

She was beautiful, intelligent, successful. There is nothing unusual in their sêx life, and it’s okay for him. But what is happening now?

Yoonji seemingly notices that something is off. She móàns louder, puts in more effort, but... Yes. Jungkook has issues.

Then Jungkook hears AC/DC - Shook Me All Night Long blasting from behind the door and shifts his attention to the music. It wasn’t intentional, it just… happened.

Yoonji sees it and stops rìding him. She gets off Jungkook, grabs her robe, and walks out the door.

"Taehyung, what the fúck? I asked you not to play music this loud, is it that difficult?"

Taehyung looks like he just woke up— he looks like a sparrow. Maybe he really was asleep. Or trying to sleep.

"Sorry, sis. I didn't mean to play it so loud, I just didn't have time to make it quieter. I turned it on because you were móâning so loud that it woke me up. You know I can't listen to music with headphones."

But Yoonji, it seems, is already close to having a breakdown.

"Taehyung, why the fûck haven't you found an apartment yet? I let you to stay here, but you've been living here for three weeks already."

Taehyung looked at his sister with surprise.

"Yoonji, we're in Seoul, and you know how hard it is to find an apartment here. I don't understand what the problem is. I've never refused to help you when you needed it."

"Maybe I didn't need your help. I needed my older brother to be there for me!”

Jungkook wants to approach her, but Yoonji puts her hand out, stopping him.

"Yoonji..." Taehyung starts.

"I needed an older brother who would talk to me and support me. And you weren't there. Your equations and experiments were more important to you than me!"

Jungkook understands that he shouldn't interfere in this. It's something that has been bothering both Yoonji and Taehyung for a long time, and now they can talk about it.

"Yoonji, my work has never been more important to me than you. I just... Yoonji, I'm really bad at understanding people's emotions. I'm trying, you see. But I've always been better at equations than communicating with people. Forgive me for not being there when you needed me."

Yoonji looks at him, tears welling up in her eyes.

"I love you, Yoonji.”

And Yoonji starts crying loudly.

She can't hold back because she finally heard what she wanted to hear from her older brother, who, instead of playing with her when she was a child, was solving equations and problems.

He always helped her, tried to talk to her, but for her, a little child lacking attention from her parents and brother, it wasn't enough. And now her brother finally said that studies and work was never more important.

Jungkook gestures for Taehyung to come over and hug Yoonji.

Taehyung hesitates for a moment, then bites his lip, and walks over to his sister, hugging her tightly. He strokes her head and, working up the courage, kisses the top of her head.

Yoonji hugs him back, crying even harder. Jungkook smiles, approaches them, and hugs Yoonji from the other side, placing his hands on Taehyung's waist.

Taehyung smiles back at him.
