IN YOUR EYES ( TAEKOOK ) SHORT STORY
IN YOUR EYES - 3 (´∩｡• ᵕ •｡∩`)
The Next Night – Back at the Café
Taehyung found himself standing outside the small café once again
He wasn’t a man who repeated things—he never visited the same restaurant twice, never entertained unnecessary interactions
TAEHYUNG
(Pushed open the glass door, the soft chime of the bell ringing in his ears)
The café was dimly lit, a cozy warmth filling the space
JUNGKOOK
(he Was at the piano again)
JUNGKOOK
(Fingers glided over the keys, a melody so delicate yet powerful)
It was different from last night—this one was hopeful
TAEHYUNG
(Took a seat at the same corner table)
JUNGKOOK
(Paused for a second)
JUNGKOOK
You're here again?
TAEHYUNG
(Raised his eyebrow ) How do you know?
JUNGKOOK
(Tilted his head, smiling slightly) I just do
Taehyung didn’t know how to respond. He wasn’t used to being recognized—not in a way that wasn’t about his money, his power, or his name
But Jungkook had no way of knowing any of that
JUNGKOOK
(Resumed playing) You listen differently
JUNGKOOK
(Nodded) Most people hear music, but you... you feel it
TAEHYUNG
(Leaned forward, resting his chin on his hand) And how do you know that?
JUNGKOOK
(Chuckled )Because your presence is quiet, but it lingers
The Days That Followed – A New Routine
Taehyung kept coming back
Every night, after his exhausting business meetings and emotionless interactions, he found himself walking into the café
Jungkook started anticipating his presence
He never saw Taehyung come in. But he always knew
JUNGKOOK
You came late today (commented)
TAEHYUNG
(Smirked, taking a sip of his coffee) You’re keeping track?
JUNGKOOK
(Smiled, tilting his head slightly) Maybe
Taehyung had never experienced this before—being wanted, being noticed, without any expectations
Jungkook never asked him why he was here, never tried to impress him. He simply played, and Taehyung simply listened
It was the most real thing Taehyung had ever known
ME
Don't forget to give like 😤
