Episode 04
Jungkook finally comes home, well past midnight.
He quietly enters, thinking Taehyung is already asleep.
But Taehyung is still awake, sitting at the edge of the bed with his back to the door.
Jungkook doesn’t notice him at first and heads straight to the closet to change.
Jeon Taehyung
You’re late again. (voice low, almost startling Jungkook)
Jeon Jungkook
I know. (freezing, then sighing tiredly)
Jeon Jungkook
It’s been one of those days.
Jeon Jungkook
The board meeting ran over, and then I had to handle some issues with the client.
Jeon Taehyung
Every night, it’s one of those days, Jungkook. (voice tinged with frustration and hurt)
Jeon Taehyung
Every night, I sit here, waiting for you, wondering if you’ll even come home at all.
Jeon Jungkook
Tae, we’ve talked about this. (turning to him, trying to keep calm)
Jeon Jungkook
You know how important my work is right now. This is temporary.
Jeon Taehyung
Temporary? (turning to look at him, his eyes filled with hurt)
Jeon Taehyung
Jungkook, it’s been three years.
Jeon Taehyung
How long am I supposed to wait?
Jeon Taehyung
I need more than a husband who only shows up after midnight.
Jeon Jungkook
(sighing, running a hand through his hair)
Jeon Jungkook
What do you want me to do, Taehyung?
Jeon Jungkook
Just abandon everything I’ve worked for?
Jeon Taehyung
(shaking his head, voice trembling)
Jeon Taehyung
No, I just want you to see me.
Jeon Taehyung
To make me feel like I matter… like I’m not invisible. 😢
Jeon Jungkook
(frowning, unsure how to respond)
Jeon Jungkook
You’re not invisible. I do all of this for us, Taehyung.
Jeon Taehyung
(scoffing, a tear slipping down his cheek)
Jeon Taehyung
For us? Then why does it feel like I’m the only one holding on?
Jeon Taehyung
Like I’m just a shadow in your life?
Jeon Jungkook
(reaching out, trying to hold Taehyung’s hand)
Jeon Jungkook
Tae, don’t say that. You know I love you. 🥺
Jeon Taehyung
(pulling his hand away, standing up)
Jeon Taehyung
Love isn’t just words, Jungkook. It’s actions.
Jeon Taehyung
And right now, it feels like your actions are telling me to leave. 😢
Jeon Jungkook
(stunned, his eyes widening slightly)
Jeon Jungkook
Leave? What are you saying? 😢
Jeon Taehyung
(taking a shaky breath, gathering his courage)
Jeon Taehyung
I’m saying… if this is what our life together is going to be, then maybe I can’t do it anymore. 💔
Jeon Jungkook
(voice tight with a mix of hurt and anger)
Jeon Jungkook
You’re really considering walking away? After everything we’ve built? 😡💔
Jeon Taehyung
What have we built, Jungkook? (looked down and barely whispered)
Jeon Taehyung
Because right now, all I see is distance… and loneliness. 💔
Silence falls between them, heavy and suffocating.
Jungkook looks at Taehyung, seeing the pain in his eyes for the first time, but not knowing how to fix it.
Taehyung turns away, heading toward the bathroom, leaving Jungkook standing there, his mind reeling with shock and confusion.
Jungkook realizes that he may have taken Taehyung’s presence for granted, never imagining that Taehyung would seriously consider leaving.
For the first time, he feels a pang of fear, wondering if he’s about to lose the person who means the most to him.
