Unseen Ties (Taekook) Late-Night Thoughts

Late-Night Thoughts

Let's continue

It was Lily.

She placed a tray on the table.

Lily/Jungkook's best friend

*Softly* Jungkook, your dinner.

Jeon Jungkook

*Frowned* *barely sparing her a glance* Who told you to bring it? Where are the maids?

Lily/Jungkook's best friend

*Hesitated, gripping the edge of the tray* I just... I wanted to... Never mind. I’ll go.

She turned to leave, but his sigh stopped her.

Jeon Jungkook

Wait. Sit here.

For a moment, she hesitated before taking a seat across from him.

Jungkook ate in silence, his mind tangled with too many thoughts. Lily watched him, but he didn’t acknowledge her.

Finally, he broke the silence.

Jeon Jungkook

Lily... If Taehyung has a mate, why did he come to the hospital alone?

Lily/Jungkook's best friend

*Blinked* Who’s Taehyung?

Jeon Jungkook

*Rolled his eyes* *annoyed* Ugh. The guy from the hospital.

Lily/Jungkook's best friend

*Raised a brow* 💭 He’s still thinking about him? I thought he had already forgotten him.

Lily/Jungkook's best friend

Oh, right. I forgot his name 😅. Probably his husband was busy, so he couldn’t come. Why are you so curious about him?

Jeon Jungkook

*Quickly denied* *looked away* I’m not. I was just asking.

Lily/Jungkook's best friend

💭 Oh? Since when does Jeon Jungkook randomly ask about strangers?

Lily/Jungkook's best friend

💭 Is it even possible for you to fall for someone? 💔

Lily/Jungkook's best friend

💭 I’ve been with you for so long. I cared for you, loved you... but you never noticed. You always said you don’t believe in love, and now? 💔😠

Lily/Jungkook's best friend

💭 Even if you do fall for someone... I won’t let it happen.😠

Lily/Jungkook's best friend

*She stood up, stretching* Anyway, I’m done. It’s late. I should go.

Jungkook remained silent, watching as she grabbed her things.

Lily/Jungkook's best friend

*Nodded* Goodnight

And just like that, she was gone.

Jungkook lay back on his bed, staring at the ceiling.

His heart felt restless.

Jeon Jungkook

Will I ever meet him again?

And if he did…

Would he be able to walk away?

Jungkook tossed and turned in bed, unable to silence the thoughts swirling in his head. No matter how much he tried to ignore it, Taehyung’s image kept slipping back into his mind.

Why can't he forget him?

Days turned into weeks, and life moved forward.

Hyun recovered well, his laughter filling the air once more. Taehyung, relieved, buried himself in work and spent time with his friends, rediscovering a sense of normalcy. The chaos of that day at the hospital faded into the background, almost like a distant dream.

Jungkook, however, found no such peace.

No matter how much he tried to shake it off, Taehyung lingered in his thoughts—his scent, his voice, the way his eyes held unspoken pain. It frustrated him. Why was he still thinking about a stranger?

A whole month passed.

Taehyung barely spared a thought for the man he met in the hospital. For him, Jungkook was nothing more than a fleeting encounter, someone he would likely never see again.

But fate had other plans.

And this time... Jungkook wouldn’t let him walk away so easily.
