IN YOUR EYES ( TAEKOOK ) SHORT STORY
IN YOUR EYES - 4 (´∩｡• ᵕ •｡∩`)
Jungkook’s Growing Attachment – But Also, His Fear
One night, Jungkook finished playing and turned slightly towards where he knew Taehyung was sitting
JUNGKOOK
Can I ask you something?
TAEHYUNG
(leaned back) Go ahead
JUNGKOOK
(Hesitated before speaking) Why do you keep coming back?
TAEHYUNG
(Silent for a moment)
TAEHYUNG
I like the music, I just happen to be in the area
TAEHYUNG
Because I want to be here
JUNGKOOK
(Fingers curled slightly) People don’t stay, Taehyung-ssi. They always leave
There was something broken in the way he said it
JUNGKOOK
(Let out a soft laugh, but there was sadness in it) For how long?
Taehyung didn’t have an answer to that not yet
The next evening, when Taehyung arrived, Jungkook wasn’t playing. Instead, he was standing near the counter, speaking quietly to someone
Jungkook 's uncle
I don’t care what he says, Jungkook
Jungkook 's uncle
Don’t forget, you have obligations. You don’t have time for distractions (voice was sharp)
JUNGKOOK
I’m not a child. I can talk to whomever I want (voice was firm, but there was an underlying vulnerability)
Jungkook 's uncle
People don’t come for you, Jungkook. They come for your money, your talent. And when they’ve had enough, they leave. Don’t be stupid
When his uncle finally left, Jungkook sat at the piano again
But this time, he hesitated before playing
TAEHYUNG
(Walked over, taking the seat beside him for the first time)
JUNGKOOK
(Took a deep breath) You heard that, didn’t you?
JUNGKOOK
(Sighed) He’s right, though. No one stays
TAEHYUNG
(Studied him) Do you want me to leave?
JUNGKOOK
(Gripped his hands together, his voice barely above a whisper)
TAEHYUNG
(Exhaled) Then I won’t
JUNGKOOK
(Turned his face slightly toward Taehyung, even though he couldn’t see him)
JUNGKOOK
You say that now, but what happens when you get bored? What happens when you realize I can’t see your world?
TAEHYUNG
(Held his gaze, even if Jungkook couldn’t see it)
TAEHYUNG
Then I’ll bring you into mine
JUNGKOOK
(For the first time in a long time, hope crept into his heart)
ME
Don't forget to give like 😤
