Falling for My Captive [Taekook] Falling for a Lie

[The Next Day]

Maid 1

(Knocked gently before stepping inside) Sir, your breakfast is ready.

Taehyung sat on his bed, staring at his phone.

Kim Taehyung

I’m not eating❄️.

Maid 1

But sir, Master told me—

Kim Taehyung

DIDN’T YOU HEAR ME?💢

The maid flinched but said nothing, quietly stepping back.

Without another word, Taehyung grabbed his car keys and left for the university.

Taehyung stood under the sun, waiting for Eunwoo.

Just beside him, Jimin also stood there, waiting for Jungkook.

Jimin

Tch. He’s late again (muttered)

Soon, Eunwoo’s car pulled up, and he stepped out casually, fixing his hair before walking toward Taehyung.

Before he could say a word, Taehyung suddenly swayed.

His vision blurred, and his body gave out.

Cha Eunwoo

Tae!

Eunwoo caught him just in time.

After some moments, Taehyung steadied himself against Eunwoo’s arm.

Kim Taehyung

I’m fine.

Kim Taehyung

Thanks, Eunwoo.💓

Cha Eunwoo

You skipped your meals again, didn’t you?

Jungkook had already arrived at the building, stopping in his tracks as he saw them from a distance.

Before Taehyung could reply,

Jimin

(Scoffed) Oh, Jungkook, if you had come earlier, I wouldn’t have to witness this melodrama.

Cha Eunwoo

Jimin, what’s your problem💢?

Jimin

Did I say something to you?😏

Cha Eunwoo

You—💢

Kim Taehyung

Eunwoo, leave it.

Kim Taehyung

(Rubbing his temple) Where’s Ji?

Cha Eunwoo

(Sighed in irritation) She’ll join soon.

Cha Eunwoo

Let’s go to class. I don’t want to watch their melodrama either.

Jimin rolled his eyes and made a face as they walked away.

[Lunch break]

Taehyung sat at his desk, head down. His vision swayed again.

Cha Eunwoo

Tae, you haven’t eaten anything since last night. Hurry, I’m hungry too.

Kim Taehyung

(Groaned) Eunwoo, I really don’t feel well.

Kim Taehyung

You two go… bring something for me if possible.

Cha Eunwoo

(Sighed but nodded) Fine. We’re going.

As Eunwoo and Ji-eun left, Taehyung remained at his desk, his head resting on his folded arms.

After some time, a quiet voice called out.

Jeon Jungkook

Master Taehyung.

No response.

Jeon Jungkook

Master Taehyung...

Taehyung slowly lifted his head, squinting.

His gaze landed on the last person he expected.

Kim Taehyung

Oh, you.

Kim Taehyung

What?

Jungkook stood in front of him, holding a tray filled with food.

Without a word, Jungkook set it down.

Jeon Jungkook

Eat.

Taehyung’s eyes widened at the amount of food in front of him.

Kim Taehyung

(Eyes brightened) Eunwoo told you to bring this, right?

Kim Taehyung

Tell thanks to him 💓.

Jungkook remained silent.

Jimin

Jungkook, how long do I have to wait? What are you doing there?

Jeon Jungkook

(Bowed slightly) I’m taking my leave.

Without another glance, he turned and walked away, joining Jimin for lunch.

After Lunch Break Ends...

Everyone returned to class.

Eunwoo and Ji-eun walked side by side, heading toward Taehyung’s seat.

Cha Eunwoo

(Whispered) Fuck… I forgot to bring food for that idiot.

Lee Ji-eun

(Whispered) Just tell him you were bringing it but didn’t want to be late for class. He’ll believe you.

Cha Eunwoo

(Grinned) Smart as always.

As they reached their seats, Eunwoo sat beside Taehyung and leaned closer.

Cha Eunwoo

Mhmm… Tae, actually, I was going to bring your food, but then I realized I’d be late for class.

Cha Eunwoo

I’m sorry, Tae. Please forgive me🙏.

Taehyung stared at him in silence.

Kim Taehyung

What? You didn’t—

Before he could finish, the professor walked in.

The room fell silent.

Taehyung didn’t say anything else, but his mind wouldn’t stop racing.

See ya💜!
