Eclipsed Hearts ( TAEKOOK )
EPISODE - 9 ෆ╹ .̮ ╹ෆ
The morning was bright, but Jungkook felt a little nervous as he walked into the bank. He clutched the check tightly in his hand, relieved that Yoongi had helped him fix it the night before. Today, he was going to deposit the money into his account.
As soon as he stepped inside, he realized the bank was unusually crowded. The long lines stretched almost to the entrance, and people were impatiently shifting from foot to foot.
JEON JUNGKOOK
Seriously? Why is it so today?
JEON JUNGKOOK
*Sighing as he joined the queue*
Minutes passed, then an hour. One by one, the line moved forward, and eventually, it was his turn.
JEON JUNGKOOK
*Stepped up to the cashier’s counter and placed the check down*
JEON JUNGKOOK
I’d like to deposit this into my account *sliding the check toward the cashier*
ME
I don't know how to deposit a check at the bank.
ME
I write what I know. 😁😁
It's getting for lunch break but She thought she could finally see him
The cashier, a woman in her mid-thirties with a sharp gaze, took the check and began typing Jungkook’s details into the system.
cashier : "Name?" she asked without looking up.
JEON JUNGKOOK
Jeon Jungkook
She typed a little more, then glanced at the check again before entering the amount.
Cashier: "Ten thousand won," *she mumbled to herself* "Alright, processing—"
But then, something made her freeze. Her eyes widened as she stared at the signature on the check.
Cashier: "Wait a minute…" she whispered
JEON JUNGKOOK
Is something wrong?
Cashier: *didn't respond immediately. Instead, she lifted the check closer to her face, as if confirming what she was seeing. Then, she looked at Jungkook, her expression unreadable*
Cashier :This is… Kim Taehyung’s signature ?
JEON JUNGKOOK
*Nodded * Yeah
Cashier: *eyes narrowed slightly* How… did you get this check?
JEON JUNGKOOK
*Blinked, confused by the sudden change in her tone*
JEON JUNGKOOK
Taehyung bought a painting from me
JEON JUNGKOOK
He didn’t have any cash on him at the time, so he gave me a check instead
JEON JUNGKOOK
*He explained simply*
Cashier: * just stared at him. Then, out of nowhere, she let out a small laugh*
JEON JUNGKOOK
* eyebrows furrowed*
JEON JUNGKOOK
What's so funny?
The cashier Turned to her coworker at the next counter, a man in his forties, and called him over.
cashier: "Hey, come here for a second," she said, barely holding back her amusement.
The coworker walked over, glancing at the check. "What’s up?"
Cashier: *covered her mouth* (trying to suppress her giggles) "This guy just told me that Kim Taehyung—the Kim Taehyung—bought a painting from him and gave him a check because he had no cash on him."
The coworker blinked before snorting. Then, without warning, he burst into laughter.
JEON JUNGKOOK
*Could feel the heat rising in his cheeks, but he kept his expression neutral*
JEON JUNGKOOK
Why are you laughing ?
Cashier : *leaned on the counter still chuckling* Come on, kid. You expect us to believe that a billionaire and big businessman like Taehyung didn’t have cash on him and decided to buy a painting from you?
Her coworker smirked. Right? That’s a good one. Tell us the real story, kid.
JEON JUNGKOOK
*Jaw clenched, but he refused to show how much their words were affecting him*
JEON JUNGKOOK
Why is there a law that says big businessmen can't buy paintings from me ?
JEON JUNGKOOK
Taehyung can become a big businessman and be rich But to me, he's just someone who bought a painting from me
JEON JUNGKOOK
Just do your job * said flatly, his grip tightening on the counter’s edge*
The laughter stopped. The cashier’s expression changed from amused to irritated.
She leaned forward slightly, her voice dropping into a mockingly sweet tone.
Cashier : Oh? Did I make the little artist upset? *Then, her smirk widened as she motioned for Jungkook to come closer*
JEON JUNGKOOK
*Didn’t move even a bit*
Cashier: Come on, get closer *she said, still smirking*
JEON JUNGKOOK
*Took a small step forward anyway*
Cashier: Then, in a voice only he could hear, she whispered, "Why don’t you just say the real thing? You slept with him, and he gave you the check as payment, didn’t he?"
Jungkook’s whole world seemed to stop.
JEON JUNGKOOK
*Breath caught in his throat. His chest tightened, his heart hammering painfully against his ribs*
JEON JUNGKOOK
*For a second, he couldn't even process what she had just said.*
JEON JUNGKOOK
*Slowly, he took a step back, his face completely blank*
The cashier smirked, thinking she had won.
Jungkook didn’t say a word. He simply reached forward, grabbed the check from the counter, and turned around. Without looking back, he walked straight out of the bank.
What he didn’t know was that someone—someone standing in line behind him—had been recording everything from the moment the cashier started laughing at him.
