Love Desire ep3

*A few more weeks pass, and the subtle tension between Tae and Jungkook grows. They exchange lingering glances and brief touches that send shivers down Tae's spine. One evening, after a particularly grueling day, Tae decides to unwind at a nearby bar. He sits alone at a corner table, nursing a drink and letting his mind wander.*

Kim taehyung/tae

**Tae's Thoughts:** *Why can’t I get him out of my head? Every smile, every look, it’s like he’s under my skin. I wish I could just…*

*His thoughts are interrupted when Jungkook walks into the bar. Tae's breath catches in his throat as he watches Jungkook scan the room, their eyes meeting almost instantly. Jungkook’s expression shifts from surprise to something softer, more intimate.*

Jeon jungkook/jk

**Jungkook's Thoughts:** *Tae’s here. Alone. Maybe this is my chance to finally understand these feelings.*

*Jungkook walks over, and Tae feels his heart rate increase with each step. Jungkook sits down opposite him, a small smile playing on his lips.*

Jeon jungkook/jk

"Mind if I join you?"

Kim taehyung/tae

"Not at all. I could use the company."

*They sit in comfortable silence for a moment, the noise of the bar fading into the background. Jungkook orders a drink and turns his attention fully to Tae.*

Jeon jungkook/jk

"I don’t usually see you out of the office. How are you?"

Kim taehyung/tae

"I needed a break. It’s been a long week."

Jeon jungkook/jk

"I get that. Sometimes, it feels like the work never ends."

*There’s a moment of shared understanding, a connection deeper than their professional relationship. Tae takes a sip of his drink, gathering the courage to voice what’s been on his mind.*

Kim taehyung/tae

"Jungkook, can I ask you something?"

Jeon jungkook/jk

"Of course."

Kim taehyung/tae

"Do you ever feel like… there’s more between us? More than just work?"

*Jungkook’s eyes darken slightly, his gaze intense. He sets his glass down and leans in, his voice low and earnest.*

Jeon jungkook/jk

"Yes, Tae. I’ve felt it since the day we met."

Kim taehyung/tae

**Tae's Desires:** *He feels it too. I’m not imagining this. But what does it mean for us?*

*Tae’s heart pounds with a mix of fear and excitement. He reaches out, his hand trembling slightly, and covers Jungkook’s hand on the table.*

Kim taehyung/tae

"I don’t know where this is going, but I want to find out."

Jeon jungkook/jk

**Jungkook's Feelings:* *His touch... it feels so right. I’ve wanted this for so long.*

*Jungkook turns his hand over, intertwining his fingers with Tae’s. The simple act feels monumental, a silent promise between them.*

Jeon jungkook/jk

"Me too, Tae. We’ll figure it out together."

*Their hands stay clasped, a small but significant connection. They continue talking, their conversation shifting from work to personal stories, shared laughs, and stolen glances. The night stretches on, but neither of them wants it to end.*

Kim taehyung/tae

**Tae's Thoughts:** *This feels so natural, so perfect. I’ve wanted this closeness, this connection. With him.*

Jeon jungkook/jk

**Jungkook's Desires:** *I want to protect him, to be with him. This is just the beginning.*

*As the bar starts to close, Jungkook walks Tae home, their hands still entwined. The city lights cast a soft glow on them, and the world feels like it’s just for them.*

Kim taehyung/tae

"Thank you for tonight, Jungkook."

Jeon jungkook/jk

"Anytime, Tae. This is just the beginning."

*They part with a lingering look, a silent promise of more to come. Tae lies in bed that night, his mind racing but his heart content. Jungkook’s face, his touch, his words, all replay in his mind like a cherished memory.*

Kim taehyung/tae

**Tae's Thoughts:** *This is real. This connection, this desire. I’m ready for whatever comes next with him.*
