Unseen Ties (Taekook) A Step Closer

A Step Closer

Previously......

Let's continue

Jungkook stiffened, his fingers tightening around the glass as a strange, sinking feeling washed over him.

Beside Park Bogum, standing amidst the crowd near the stage, was a face Jungkook never thought he’d see here.

His heart skipped a beat.💓

For a moment, everything else—the noise, the chatter, the flashing lights—faded into the background.

Jungkook blinked, as if his mind was playing tricks on him. But no—the person was real, standing right there, looking as out of place as Jungkook felt.

A name formed on his lips, but no sound came out.

Beside him, Yoongi finally noticed his sudden change in demeanor.

Min Yoongi

*Glancing at Jungkook, eyebrow raised* What’s with that look? Did you see a ghost or something?

Jungkook’s grip on his glass tightened, his throat suddenly dry.

Because, in that moment, it felt like he had.

After a beat of silence, he spoke.

Jeon Jungkook

…I just saw someone.

Min Yoongi

*Amused* *taking a sip of his drink* There are a lot of people here, genius. Care to be more specific?

Jungkook’s gaze didn’t waver from the crowd. His voice was quieter this time.

Jeon Jungkook

The person standing to the right of Park Bogum.

Yoongi followed his line of sight, squinting slightly.

Min Yoongi

There are plenty of people beside Bogum.

Jeon Jungkook

*Exhaled sharply, jaw clenching*.... The most beautiful one.

Min Yoongi

*Smirked, leaning in slightly* Oh? You mean Jimin?

Author

In his eyes, Jimin is the most beautiful 😏.

Jeon Jungkook

*Tore his gaze away from the crowd, frowning slightly* Jimin? Now who the hell is that?

Min Yoongi

*Let out a short chuckle, shaking his head* Of course. How could I forget? You barely know anyone in the business world.😮‍💨

Min Yoongi

Jimin is my PA. Hardworking, sharp, and yeah… undeniably beautiful.

Jungkook didn’t respond immediately, his eyes drifting back to the man in question. His chest tightened with something unfamiliar.

Min Yoongi

But if it's not him then whom are you talking about?

Jeon Jungkook

I’m talking about Kim Taehyung.

Min Yoongi

*Raised an eyebrow, clearly intrigued* You know him? How?

Jeon Jungkook

I met him one day at our hospital....with his son.

Jungkook paused, as if waiting for a reaction, then asked:

Jeon Jungkook

You know him too?

Min Yoongi

Yeah… who doesn’t know him around here? He’s a famous fashion designer, works under Hobi uncle’s agency.

Min Yoongi

*Glanced over at the crowd* Taehyung, Jimin, and Bogum—they’re all good friends. So it makes sense they’d be here.

Jeon Jungkook

So if he works under Hobi uncle's company, isn't it obvious that he would know me and Dad?

Jeon Jungkook

*Frowned, his confusion growing* But the day I met with him, it doesn't feel like he knows me or even dad....

Min Yoongi

*Chuckles* Who would even recognize you, bro? Have you ever even set foot in the business world?

Min Yoongi

As for Uncle Namjoon, everyone knows him. But barely anyone knows you're his son. So how can you expect someone to recognize him just by looking at you?

Min Yoongi

And besides, he's new to this industry. You can't expect him to know everything—he doesn’t even know me.

Min Yoongi

*Shrugs slightly* I only know him because Jimin told me about his best friend. And, come on, who could ever forget that kind of beauty?

Jungkook fell silent for a moment, his thoughts spiraling. How was it that he knew so little about Taehyung or Jimin? Their names felt familiar, yet distant—like pieces of a puzzle that refused to fit. Was there something he was overlooking?

A strange pull tightened in his chest, an unease he couldn’t shake. It felt almost as if fate was weaving a story around him—one he wasn’t meant to understand just yet.

The thoughts swirled in his head, leaving him more perplexed than ever.

After a beat of silence, Jungkook turned to Yoongi, snapping himself out of his trance.

Jeon Jungkook

Bro, can we head to the front of the stage?
