As Taehyung scrolled through her phone during a short break in her shoot, she felt her chest tighten when she saw the notification for a new chapter from Kook’s story. The title was intriguing, and Taehyung clicked it immediately. Her eyes locked onto the words on the screen. The chapter was a romantic, flirtatious scene—one where the characters were teasing each other, their words carrying an undeniable chemistry.

As Taehyung's eyes scanned the words on the screen, she felt a flutter in her chest. The scene was unfolding before her, the characters' banter and teasing escalating into a moment of undeniable attraction. The air seemed to thicken as they drew closer, their lips inches apart, the tension between them palpable. And then, in a moment that seemed to slow down time, they kissed. The description was vivid, the sensation of their lips touching, the spark of electricity that ran through their bodies. Taehyung's heart skipped a beat as she read the words, her mind conjuring up the image of the two characters, their faces tilted, their mouths locked in a gentle, yet passionate kiss. The way Kook wrote it was mesmerizing, the emotions and sensations leaping off the page. Taehyung felt herself getting lost in the scene, her imagination running wild with the possibilities. She could almost feel the softness of their lips, the warmth of their breath, the beating of their hearts. As she read on, Taehyung's fingers seemed to move of their own accord, her thumb scrolling down the screen, devouring the words. The kiss deepened, the characters' passion growing, their love and desire for each other evident in every sentence. Taehyung's own lips felt dry, her mouth watering at the thought of such a kiss. She couldn't help but wonder what it would be like to be kissed like that, to feel the rush of emotions, the spark of attraction. Her eyes lingered on the words, reliving the moment, as if she was a part of the scene itself. The sound of the director's voice, calling out for the next take, broke the spell, jolting Taehyung back to reality. She blinked, her eyes refocusing, as she realized she was still holding her phone, the screen glowing with the words that had transported her to a different world. With a soft sigh, she tucked the phone away, her mind still reeling from the intensity of the kiss scene, her heart beating just a little bit faster.

Taehyung bit her lip, unsure of what to do with the feelings swirling inside her. The jealousy she had been trying to suppress earlier now surged. This wasn’t just a story anymore—it was a reflection of what she had been sensing between herself and Kook. Her mind raced. The playful flirtation between the characters seemed so much like their own chats, but now it felt different. More intimate.

Her fingers hovered over the phone screen as her thoughts whirled. She didn’t know why, but something in her made her reach for the keyboard and type a message to Kook.

@winter_bear ( tae)

Tonight, I want to talk with you, Butterfly. I have some things to say.

Taehyung hit "send" with a mix of nerves and excitement. She read over the message and felt the words echo in her head. Was she being too forward? But she couldn’t deny it anymore—there was something more between her and Kook. She couldn’t ignore the way their conversations made her feel, and she wasn’t sure if Kook felt the same way. But tonight, she would find out.

Kook, on the other hand, didn’t think much of the message at first. She had just woken up, and her phone buzzed with the familiar notification of a message from Winter Bear. She read it casually, smiling at the thought of another chat.

@bunny_the_butterfly ( kook)

Okay, sounds good. Let’s talk later. We can just chat like we always do.

Kook didn’t think there was anything particularly unusual about the request. She thought it would be another one of their regular conversations, just like always—no big deal. But Taehyung, sitting at the edge of her chair, knew this was more than just a regular chat. She didn’t like how Kook brushed it off so easily. She didn’t realize that it meant more to Taehyung than a simple conversation.

The shoot started again, but Taehyung was nowhere near focused. Her mind wandered back to Kook’s story, to the characters, to the flirtatious banter that now seemed to mirror their own exchanges. As the director called "action," Taehyung’s lines came out a little too flat. Her expression didn’t match the emotion the scene called for.

It wasn’t that she was a bad actor—no, Taehyung was always professional. But today was different. Today, her thoughts kept drifting back to that kiss scene in Kook’s story, to the way the characters had spoken to each other, and to how she had spoken to Kook in a way that felt… different.

？？？

Cut!

The director called, frustrated with the lack of intensity. Taehyung blinked and snapped back into reality, forcing a smile and shaking her head.

Kim taehyung

💭.Focus

She told herself.

Kim taehyung

💭.It’s just a story. It’s not real.

But even as she tried to force her thoughts away, they came rushing back. She checked her phone again, only to see another notification from Kook. This time, it was a new chapter in the story.

@winter_bear ( tae)

I’ve cleared my schedule for the next two days. I need the time to think.

@winter_bear ( tae)

Maybe I’ll get some rest, but we’ll talk soon, okay?

Kook, still unsure of the seriousness in Taehyung’s words, typed back with a friendly, almost casual tone:

@bunny_the_butterfly ( kook)

Alright, I’ll be here when you’re ready to talk!

Taehyung set her phone down again, only to pick it up seconds later, scrolling through Kook’s profile. She had been checking the story notifications over and over again, as if hoping for something new, something to bridge the gap between them. But nothing came. Her chest tightened, and she felt a growing frustration.

She sighed heavily and leaned back in her seat. The shoot resumed, but she couldn’t get rid of the thoughts swirling in her mind. She needed to talk to Kook. And she needed to make it clear that there was something more between them.

When the director finally called "cut" after the final scene, Taehyung felt the tension leave her body, but it was replaced with something else—something deeper. She quickly cleared her next two days' schedule, canceling appointments with managers and assistants. She didn’t need any distractions now.

@winter_bear ( tae)

I’ve cleared my schedule. I’ll rest, but also, I’m going to need to talk to you soon, Bunny. About everything.

Taehyung hit send, her finger trembling slightly. She knew this was a step she had to take. Kook was no longer just an internet friend to her. She needed to face whatever this was between them, and she needed Kook to understand it too.
