just a child
Summoning all his courage, Jungkook sought out Taehyung, finding him in their shared living space. Taehyung looked up as Jungkook entered, his expression guarded yet curious.
Jungkook
Taehyung we need to talk
Jungkook said, his voice surprisingly steady despite the turmoil raging within him.
Taehyung
What's on your mind, Jungkook?
Taking a deep breath, Jungkook launched into his confession, his words tumbling out in a rush. He told Taehyung about the curse that bound their families, about the forced marriage that had been thrust upon them against their will.
He spoke of his conflicted feelings, torn between duty and desire, between the expectations of his family and the love he held for someone else.
Taehyung listened in stunned silence, his eyes widening with each revelation.
He had never imagined that Jungkook was carrying such a heavy burden, that beneath his tough exterior lay a heart weighed down by the weight of tradition and obligation.
As Jungkook finished speaking, a heavy silence settled between them, broken only by the sound of their uneven breathing. Taehyung searched Jungkook's eyes, seeing the vulnerability lurking beneath the facade of anger and resentment.
Taehyung
I..
I had no idea
Taehyung murmured, his voice soft with empathy.
Taehyung
I'm sorry, Jungkook. I had no idea you were going through all of this alone.
Jungkook shook his head, his gaze dropping to the floor.
Jungkook
It's not your fault, Taehyung. None of this is. I just... I needed you to know the truth
There was a palpable shift in the air, a fragile moment of understanding and connection between two souls bound by fate. Despite the pain and confusion that lingered between them, there was also a glimmer of hope, a hope that maybe, just maybe, they could find a way to break free from the chains that held them captive.
And as they stood there, facing the truth together, Jungkook knew that no matter what the future held, he would not face it alone. For in Taehyung, he had found not just an unwilling partner, but a companion on the journey towards liberation and self-discovery.
Jungkook's revelation to his parents about his feelings and the truth behind the forced marriage fell on deaf ears. Instead of understanding his plight, they insisted that he fulfill the requirements of the curse.
Jungkook
But can't you see, Mom, Dad? This is tearing me apart!
Jungkook
I love someone else! I can't just throw away my happiness for some ancient curse
His parents remained unmoved, their expressions stern and unyielding.
jeon namjoon
Jungkook, this is not about your happiness. This is about our family's legacy, our future
Anger flared up inside Jungkook, a fiery defiance against the chains of tradition that bound him
Jungkook
I refuse to be a puppet in your game! I won't do it!
His mother's eyes filled with disappointment, her voice tinged with sadness.
jin
Jungkook, please... Think about what you're saying. This is not just about you. It's about our family's honor.
Taehyung, who had been silent until now, finally spoke up, his voice steady but filled with determination.
Taehyung
The curse... You just want us to have a child to end the curse, right?
His words hung heavy in the air, the weight of their implications settling over the room like a thick fog.
Jungkook's parents exchanged a glance, but remained tight-lipped, unwilling to confirm or deny Taehyung's assertion.
Taehyung turned to Jungkook, his gaze unwavering.
Taehyung
I'll have a baby with Jungkook, and then we will get divorced. Your curse will be satisfied, and Jungkook will get his love back.
Taehyung
If we do that, everything will be alright,
He proposed, his voice tinged with a mix of resolve and sadness.
Jungkook's parents stared at Taehyung, their expressions unreadable. The room fell into a heavy silence, the tension palpable as they grappled with the weight of Taehyung's suggestion.
Jungkook's parents looked at each other, a mix of surprise and uncertainty crossing their faces. Taehyung's suggestion was unconventional, but it offered a way out of the impasse.
jeon namjoon
Taehyung, this is not a decision to be taken lightly. A child is not a tool to be used to break a curse.
Taehyung
I understand the seriousness of what I'm suggesting. But if it can bring an end to this situation without causing more pain, isn't it worth considering?
jin
Taehyung, do you understand what you're offering? A child born into a broken marriage... It's not fair to them.
Taehyung's expression softened, and he looked at Jungkook with compassion.
Taehyung
I know it's not ideal. But sometimes, sacrifices have to be made to make things right.
Taehyung
And if this is the only way to free Jungkook from this burden, I'm willing to do it.
Jungkook's parents exchanged a glance, silently communicating their thoughts. After a moment, his father nodded.
jeon namjoon
Very well. If this is what you both truly want, we will support your decision.
A sense of relief washed over Taehyung and Jungkook. It was a difficult path ahead, but they were determined to face it together, for their own sake and for the future they hoped to build.
