IN YOUR EYES ( TAEKOOK ) SHORT STORY
IN YOUR EYES - 5 (´∩｡• ᵕ •｡∩`)
Jungkook's fingers danced over the piano keys, the music filling the small café like a whispered confession. Tonight, the melody was different—softer, lingering, as if waiting for someone
The chime of the café door rang, and even without turning, Jungkook felt it
JUNGKOOK
You're late today ( murmured, not stopping his playing)
TAEHYUNG
(Smirked, taking his usual seat) Keeping track of me again?
JUNGKOOK
(Smiled, his fingers never missing a note) Maybe
TAEHYUNG
(Leaned back, watching him)
It had only been a few days, but this place—this presence—had become something he craved
TAEHYUNG
What are you playing ?
JUNGKOOK
(Hesitated) Something new. Something I only play when you're here
TAEHYUNG
(Heart skipped a beat)
And every night, Taehyung was there
He never spoke much, but he didn’t have to. Jungkook could feel him. The way his breath would slow when listening, the way his presence carried a quiet warmth
And Jungkook—he wasn’t used to this
People always praised his music. People always wanted something from him. But Taehyung?
One evening, as Jungkook played, he suddenly stopped mid-note. His hands clenched
JUNGKOOK
Taehyung-ssi… why do you come here?
TAEHYUNG
(was silent for a moment before answering)Because I want to
JUNGKOOK
(Shook his head) That’s not enough
TAEHYUNG
Then tell me—what answer do you want?
JUNGKOOK
(Swallowed. He didn’t know. But he did know one thing—he didn’t want Taehyung to leave)
But wanting something had always been dangerous
JUNGKOOK
Forget it (muttered)
Shaking his head. He resumed playing, but his hands trembled slightly
Taehyung didn’t just listen to the music
Jungkook’s uncle was waiting outside the café that night
Jungkook 's uncle
You’re spending too much time with that man
JUNGKOOK
(Sighed) He’s just a customer
Jungkook 's uncle
Jungkook, you’re not a fool. Men like him—they get bored. You’re just entertainment for now. What happens when he leaves?
JUNGKOOK
(Hands clenched into fists)
That’s the problem, isn’t it?
Terrified that Taehyung would leave
Terrified that his uncle was right
Terrified because… he was starting to care
But instead of admitting his fear, Jungkook simply said
JUNGKOOK
If he leaves, then he leaves
JUNGKOOK
(But even as he said it, his heart ached)
ME
Don't forget to give like 😤
