(Taehyung stands alone, staring up at the stars. His mind replays Jimin’s words over and over again.)
Jeon Jungkook
(thinking) she loves Jungkook too… Of course she does.
(Suddenly, footsteps approach. Taehyung turns to see Jungkook.)
Kim Taehyung
(smiling)I knew I’d find you here.
(Taehyung forces a smile, swallowing the pain in his chest.)
Kim Taehyung
Why do you always run away when something’s on your mind?
Jeon Jungkook
(softly) I’m not running.
(Jungkook steps closer, leaning on the railing beside Taehyung. The night air feels heavier than usual.)
Kim Taehyung
Jimin and I… we’re officially dating now.
(Taehyung’s fingers clench around the metal railing. He keeps his face neutral, though every word feels like a dagger.)
Jeon Jungkook
(smiling)That’s… great news, Kook.😊😊
(Jungkook nudges Taehyung playfully, oblivious to the pain in his friend’s eyes.)
Kim Taehyung
You should be happy for me, Tae. You’re my best friend.
(Taehyung’s chest tightens. He forces out a chuckle.)
Jeon Jungkook
Of course, I am. You deserve all the happiness.
Taehyung’s Dorm Room – Later that night
(Taehyung lies in bed, staring at the ceiling. The weight of unspoken words suffocates him.)
Jeon Jungkook
(thinking)I need to let go.
(A single tear escapes the corner of his eye, but he quickly wipes it away. Tomorrow, he will smile again. Tomorrow, he will pretend everything is fine.)
