Goodbye, For Now
Jeon Jungkook
Hey, please don't mind what she said... And please don't apologize. You didn't bother me at all.
Jeon Jungkook
I helped because I wanted to.
Taehyung hesitated, his gaze dropping to the floor. His voice was soft, almost uncertain.
Kim Taehyung
Still.... Thank you, you've done so much already. I don't know how to repay you.
Jungkook looked at him, the sincerity in Taehyung's voice tugging at something deep inside. He leaned forward slightly, shaking his head.
Jeon Jungkook
You don't have to repay me. Really. I'm just glad I could help.
Taehyung offered him a faint smile, but it didn't quite reach his eyes. Adjusting his bag over his shoulder....
Kim Taehyung
I think I've taken enough of your time. You've been incredibly kind, but I should get going now. I don't want to trouble you further.
He gave a small bow and stepped back, preparing to leave. Jungkook’s brows furrowed as he called out softly, his voice breaking through the quiet.
Jeon Jungkook
Wait. Listen...
Jungkook’s eyes drifted to the little boy in Taehyung’s arms.
Jeon Jungkook
Well I still don't know.... what is his name?
For a moment, Taehyung seemed surprised. His lips parted slightly before he answered.
Jeon Jungkook
And… what’s your name?
Taehyung hesitated again before answering. His voice barely above a whisper.
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung.
Jeon Jungkook
*smiled faintly* Taehyung..... That’s nice.
Lily stood silently beside Jungkook, her eyes narrowing as she observed him. There was something different about the way he looked at Taehyung. She had seen Jungkook concerned for others before, but this… this was something else. It gnawed at her, twisting her chest with a feeling she didn’t want to name.
Lily/Jungkook's best friend
💭 Why is Jungkook so interested in this stranger? Is it just concern for the child? Or… is there something more?
Jeon Jungkook
Where do you live? I mean… how are you planning to get home?
Kim Taehyung
Not so far from here, I'll manage. I came in my car.
Jeon Jungkook
Are you sure? If you need anything..... you can tell us.
Kim Taehyung
You’ve already done more than enough. Thank you.
As they stood in the hospital’s parking lot, Jungkook watched Taehyung place Hyun in the car’s backseat. After gently securing him, Taehyung moved toward the driver’s seat. Before closing the door, he looked at Jungkook one last time, nodding briefly.
Jungkook, standing with a heavy heart, nodded back. His chest tightened as he watched the car pull away, the faint sound of its engine fading into the falling darkness of the evening.
Jeon Jungkook
*Whispers to himself* Taehyung… This won’t be the last time we meet..... 💔
After seeing them off, Jungkook and Lily walked toward their car. Jungkook quietly settled into the passenger seat, while Lily took the wheel. The car started, and an awkward silence lingered between them.
Lily finally broke the quiet.
Lily/Jungkook's best friend
Jungkook why are you so interested in him?
Lily/Jungkook's best friend
At first, I thought it was concern for the child. But now… I’m not so sure.
She bit her lip, trying to keep her emotions in check. Her fingers tightened on the steering wheel as she pressed on.
Lily/Jungkook's best friend
I mean, you barely know him. And yet, here you are, acting like… like he’s someone important to you.
Her voice softened slightly, but there was a subtle edge to it—a carefully placed hook meant to make him question himself.
Lily/Jungkook's best friend
I just want to remind you… He’s married. He already has a son.
The thought of Taehyung being married and having a family cut deeply into Jungkook’s heart. He clenched his fists, saying nothing. Something inside him refused to let go of Taehyung, even though Lily’s words were the harsh truth.
The rest of the ride was silent. Soon, they arrived in front of the Jeon mansion.
Meanwhile, in Taehyung’s car, he too felt something he couldn’t quite understand. The warmth Jungkook showed him and Hyun was unlike anything he’d felt in years. It wasn’t like the care his friends offered—it was… different.
He glanced at Hyun through the rearview mirror, his thoughts swirling.
Before long, Taehyung pulled into the parking lot of their apartment. As he stepped out, a familiar voice greeted him.
