"Beneath the Surface"

 tae and yoongi - 

Taehyung and Yoongi used to share everything—silly jokes, loud fights, and deep talks that lasted all night. They weren’t just brothers; they were each other’s safe space. But everything changed two years ago when their parents passed away in a tragic accident.

After the loss, moving to Seoul only made things worse. The silence between them grew, filling the space where their bond used to be. Taehyung, once bold and full of life, became cold and arrogant, hiding his true feelings behind a wall of pride. Yoongi, always the fierce and protective one, turned distant and indifferent, acting as if nothing could hurt him.

Now, they live under the same roof but barely speak. The bond they once had feels buried beneath the heavy silence and unspoken grief. They miss the silly fights and honest talks, but neither knows how to bridge the gap. It’s like they’ve become strangers, tied together by blood and the quiet pain they both carry. Deep down, they wish things could go back to the way they were, but the silence between them feels too loud to ignore.

They reached college in their own cars(they were rich obvi....duh)

as usual they went on to their classes...

TIMESKIP

Months passed, and nothing seemed to change for Jimin and Jungkook or Taehyung and Yoongi. They still hadn’t met each other, but their names floated around campus. Was it fate keeping them apart, or just bad timing? Was it the universe holding them back from crossing paths, or did they have their own reasons for not stepping into each other’s worlds? It seemed like things would continue like this, forever in silence, just as they were.

Jungkook stayed as distant as ever, closed off from everyone. He barely spoke to anyone, and Jimin struggled to get through to him. No matter how much he tried, he couldn’t break the wall Jungkook had built around himself. Was his brother so lost in the past that nothing could pull him out? Or was he simply too tired of trying? Jimin watched him from the outside, heart heavy with concern. But despite everything, he never gave up. He refused to let go, even if it meant watching his brother slowly slip away in his own world.

On the other hand, Taehyung and Yoongi had settled into their own world, a place filled with quiet distance. They didn’t argue anymore, nor did they share the deep talks that once brought them closer. What had happened to them? Where had their connection gone? They used to be inseparable, but now they were just... strangers bound by the same blood. Could they go back to the way things were? Or was this the new normal—two brothers who barely spoke, both of them trapped in their own unspoken pain?

Then came David’s party.

David, the notorious rich kid, the one who always flaunted his money and threw wild, chaotic parties, was throwing yet another event. This time, it wasn’t just another party—it was the one everyone was talking about. Would it be the thing that finally brought them all together? Was it a sign of fate, or just another distraction? Would their lives change at this party, or would things only get worse? Could this party spark something new between them, or would it ignite even more rivalry?

Will it belove, or will it be something else? Would they recognize each other when they finally met, or would it all be too complicated? What would happen when their paths crossed? Friendship, hate, or something much deeper? All these questions lingered, unanswered, hanging in the air, as the night of the party drew closer. Would everything shift, or would it remain the same? Only time could tell, but it was clear that whatever was coming next, it was going to change everything.
