ep 3
The golden sunlight bathed the grand yet cozy Kim estate, located on the outskirts of Seoul. Despite being the second richest family in Korea, the Kim home felt warm and inviting — filled with love, laughter, and the smell of home-cooked meals.
As Taehyung stepped through the door, she was instantly greeted by the sound of her mother’s laughter.
Kim ye-jin
Tae-ah! You’re home early today, my love!
Her mother — the elegant and graceful **kim Ye-jin** — appeared from the kitchen, wearing a soft floral apron and holding a bowl of jasmine tea.
Taehyung's heart fluttered at the sight of her mother.
Kim taehyung
💭.She’s still here... alive in this life.
The ache of longing hit her for a moment, but she quickly pushed it away.
Her father, **kim Hyun Bin**, tall and charming, stepped out from the hallway, casually wiping his hands on his shirt. He had a carefree yet loving presence about him that always made Taehyung feel at home.
Kim Hyun bin
How was school, my little genius?
He asked, his voice full of warmth as he ruffled Taehyung’s hair.
Kim taehyung
Just... normal,
Taehyung replied with a soft smile, though her heart was full of conflicting emotions. She had lost them all before, and yet here they were, safe and sound.
Her older sister, **IU (Kim Ji-eun)**, entered the room with her usual playful energy.
Kim iu ( Kim ji-eun )
Tae, you’re home early today! No more homework to do?
She smirked as she munched on a strawberry.
Taehyung smiled softly. She had lost her family once, but not this time. She vowed she wouldn’t. Not again.
Kim taehyung
Everything’s fine. Just... school stuff,
She said quietly.
The warmth of her family surrounded her, and for a moment, she allowed herself to relax in the feeling of love and comfort.
Kim taehyung
💭.This time, I’ll protect everything I hold dear,
**Scene: Jungkook’s Family Mansion – Same Evening**
On the other side of Seoul, the Jeon mansion stood as a symbol of power and sophistication, sleek and modern with sprawling views of the city. It was the home of Korea’s wealthiest family, and it carried an air of cool detachment — perfect for the Jeon family.
Jungkook walked through the door, still processing the encounter with Taehyung earlier. The moment their paths had crossed, something had clicked inside him. He couldn't explain it, but he felt drawn to her, like they shared a history that neither could remember, yet both felt.
jeon jung-jae
Late again, son. Off making memories at basketball practice, or getting into trouble?
Came his father’s voice, smooth and confident as always. **jeon Jung-jae**, effortlessly stylish, gave Jungkook a teasing glance from his place on the sofa, reading the business section of the newspaper.
jeon jungkook
Just... needed some fresh air,
Jungkook replied with a shrug, tossing his bag aside.
His mother, **jeon Hye-soo**, was sitting at the grand piano, swirling a glass of red wine. She glanced at Jungkook with a raised brow, her voice calm but sharp.
jeon hye-soo
Fresh air? You’ve been acting strange lately. Something on your mind?
jeon jungkook
Just a weird feeling. Nothing to worry about.
From the hallway, his older brother **jeon Seo-joon**, always dressed impeccably, emerged with a cool, confident air. He took a sip from a cold brew, his gaze slightly concerned.
jeon seo-joon
You look like you saw a ghost. What’s going on, little brother?
Jungkook froze for a second, then gave a small smile.
jeon jungkook
💭.A cute ghost…
jeon jungkook
💭.Maybe I did. A ghost of someone I loved too much to ever forget.
jeon jungkook
Just... déjà vu,
Jungkook mumbled before heading upstairs to his room, where he closed the door behind him.
His hands gripped the edge of his desk, his heart still racing from his encounter with Taehyung earlier.
jeon jungkook
💭I’ll find a way to get close to you again,
jeon jungkook
💭.This time, I won’t let you slip away.
