Episode 17

NovelToon
The day started perfectly for Jungkook. The cabin’s cozy warmth, the lingering scent of pine and cinnamon, and the memory of Taehyung’s heartfelt confession made his heart flutter. But that serene bubble was shattered when he overheard a conversation he was never meant to hear.
Jungkook had been heading towards the kitchen to grab a snack when he heard Hoseok’s voice.
Jung Hoseok
Jung Hoseok
So, what’s the deal with you and Jungkook?
Hoseok asked teasingly.
Taehyung chuckled softly.
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
He’s adorable. I really enjoy spending time with him.
Jungkook paused behind the door, his chest tightening.
Jung Hoseok
Jung Hoseok
But?
He pressed.
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
But… I don’t want to rush things. I don’t know if he feels the same, and I’d rather have him as a friend than risk losing him!
Taehyung replied, his tone contemplative.
The words hit Jungkook like a snowball to the face. Friend? His stomach churned as he backed away quietly, his mind spinning.
Did Taehyung only see him as a friend despite everything they’d shared?
Jungkook avoided Taehyung for the rest of the day. His usual bright demeanor dimmed, and his responses to Taehyung’s attempts at conversation were short and distant. Taehyung, noticing the shift, felt a pang of worry.
By evening, Jungkook found himself outside, sitting on the snowy porch, trying to sort through his jumbled thoughts.
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
Jungkook!
Taehyung’s deep voice called gently from behind.
Startled, Jungkook turned to find Taehyung standing there, bundled in a thick coat, his expression soft but concerned.
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
Are you okay?
Taehyung asked, stepping closer.
Jungkook hesitated, biting his lip.
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
Yeah… I just needed some air.
Taehyung frowned, clearly unconvinced.
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
You’ve been avoiding me all day. Did I do something wrong?
Jungkook shook his head quickly.
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
No! It’s not that. I just…
He trailed off, unsure how to express what he was feeling.
Taehyung crouched in front of him, their faces level.
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
Jungkook, please talk to me. Whatever it is, I want to fix it.
Looking into Taehyung’s earnest eyes, Jungkook felt his defenses crumble.
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
I heard you talking to Hoseok hyung earlier!
he admitted quietly.
Taehyung blinked, confused.
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
What about?
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
You said you’d rather have me as a friend!
Jungkook blurted, his voice trembling.
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
I thought… I thought you liked me.
Realization dawned on Taehyung’s face, followed by a soft chuckle.
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
Oh, My Cute Bunny! 😂
he murmured, reaching out to take the omega’s cold hands in his warm ones.
Jungkook looked down, embarrassed.
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
It’s okay. I get it if that’s all you want. I just—
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
Stop!!
Taehyung interrupted gently, his thumbs brushing over Jungkook’s knuckles.
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
You misunderstood, bunny!
Jungkook glanced up hesitantly, his doe eyes wide and uncertain.
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
I told Hoseok I didn’t want to rush because I care about you!
He explained.
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
I’ve been falling for you every day we’ve spent together, but I was afraid of overwhelming you.
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
You’re not just my friend, Jungkook. You’re so much more.
Jungkook’s breath hitched as Taehyung stood, tugging him up gently.
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
Come with me!
the alpha said, his voice filled with determination.
Taehyung led Jungkook to the clearing behind the cabin. The night sky stretched above them, stars twinkling like diamonds. Jungkook gasped as he took in the sight: a path of glowing fairy lights strung through the trees, leading to a clearing where a large heart had been carved into the snow, its edges lined with lights.
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
Taehyung…
Jungkook whispered, his eyes glistening.
Taehyung turned to face him, his gaze soft yet serious.
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
I’ve been planning this for days. I wanted to tell you how I feel in the most special way possible, but I messed up by not being clear sooner.
Taking a step closer, Taehyung cupped Jungkook’s cheek, his thumb brushing away a stray tear.
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
I like you, Jungkook. Not as a friend, but as someone I want to hold close, to make smile, to share everything with. I’m sorry if I made you doubt that.
Jungkook stared at him, his heart pounding.
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
I… I thought you didn’t feel the same.
Taehyung smiled softly.
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
I feel more than you know.
Jungkook’s lips quirked into a shy smile, his cheeks flushing.
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
You’re such a drama king, you know that?
Taehyung laughed, the sound rich and warm.
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
Only for you.
As the snow continued to fall, Taehyung leaned in slowly, giving Jungkook enough time to pull away if he wanted to. But Jungkook stayed still, his eyes fluttering shut as their lips met in a soft, tentative kiss.
When they pulled apart, Jungkook’s pouty smile melted Taehyung’s heart.
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
Okay!! 😳
Jungkook whispered, his voice barely audible.
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
Okay?
Taehyung asked, his brows raising in amusement.
Jungkook nodded, his grin widening.
Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
I like you too, idiot. 😤
Taehyung laughed again, wrapping Jungkook in a warm embrace as the fairy lights glowed around them. For the first time, everything felt just right.
