IN YOUR EYES ( TAEKOOK ) SHORT STORY
IN YOUR EYES - 7 (´∩｡• ᵕ •｡∩`)
That night, Jungkook didn’t play
Instead, he sat across from Taehyung, coffee untouched
TAEHYUNG
(Raised an eyebrow) No music today?
JUNGKOOK
(Exhaled) Tell me something
TAEHYUNG
(Set his cup down) Anything
JUNGKOOK
(Hesitated before asking, voice barely above a whisper)
JUNGKOOK
Are you going to leave?
JUNGKOOK
(Hands clenched his dress) Because if you are… just tell me now
JUNGKOOK
💭 Don’t make me get used to you
JUNGKOOK
💭 Don’t make me hope
For the first time, Taehyung saw the fear beneath Jungkook’s calm mask
TAEHYUNG
(Reached forward, his fingers brushing against Jungkook’s wrist)
TAEHYUNG
(Voice softer than ever) I’m not leaving
JUNGKOOK
(Exhaled, a shaky, unsteady breath)
And even though fear still lingered… for the first time, he wanted to believe
Jungkook’s fingers glided over the piano keys, filling the café with a soft, lingering melody. Taehyung was there, as always, listening
But tonight… someone else was watching, too
"You play beautifully," a new voice murmured
JUNGKOOK
(Stopped, startled. He hadn’t heard that voice before)
The stranger’s voice was smooth, charming—too practiced
TAEHYUNG
(Immediately tensed in his seat, eyes narrowing as the man moved closer to Jungkook)
"Are you a regular performer here?" the stranger asked
JUNGKOOK
(Tilted his head slightly) Something like that
The man chuckled. "It’s rare to see someone so talented and so…" his voice dipped, "captivating.
JUNGKOOK
(Froze. He wasn’t used to people speaking to him like that)
TAEHYUNG
(Jaw clenched. He really didn’t like this guy)
"I’ve seen you here before, always playing alone," the man continued. "If you ever need company—"
TAEHYUNG
He already has company, (he cut in, voice low and firm)
The stranger turned, surprised. "Oh? And who might you be?"
TAEHYUNG
Someone who doesn’t like interruptions,( replied smoothly, leaning back in his chair)
JUNGKOOK
(Bit his lip. He wasn’t used to people defending him )
The stranger chuckled, raising his hands in surrender. "I see how it is."
He turned to Jungkook. "If you ever change your mind, I’ll be around."
JUNGKOOK
(Sighed, fingers grazing the keys absentmindedly)
TAEHYUNG
(Was still staring at the door)
JUNGKOOK
You didn’t have to do that,(murmured)
JUNGKOOK
(Turned towards him) Why?
TAEHYUNG
Because I don’t like people touching what’s mine
JUNGKOOK
(Heart skipped) Yours?
JUNGKOOK
(Smirked) You sound jealous, Taehyung-ssi
TAEHYUNG
(Huffed) I am not
JUNGKOOK
(Chuckled, his fingers brushing over the piano. For some reason, he didn’t mind Taehyung’s jealousy)
