VOWS OF A BEAUTIFUL LIE (TaeKook)
Under the disguise
Tae woke up on a too big bed. The mattress was softer than anything he had ever slept on, but he hadn't rested
He was just afraid what if they found out that he is a boy, and on top of that it was new place, and new life for him
when he was about to take a shower, a message popped up in his email, and he already knew who the sender was
Park Jimin/ Tae's BFF
✉️ still alive
Kim Taehyung/MC
✉️ Not sure. I think the pillows are made of clouds and secrets
Park Jimin/ Tae's BFF
✉️ Lol, so what's the mission today, Mrs Jeon?
Kim Taehyung/MC
✉️ Smile, nod, don't slip, don't talk too much, and definitely don't breath wrong
Park Jimin/ Tae's BFF
✉️ sounds like a survival school. Want me to sneak in a stun gun
Kim Taehyung/MC
✉️ No, but maybe smuggle in the real Lee Ji eun
Jimin left a laughing emoji, but Taehyung didn't laugh. His thumb hoovered over the keyboard, then he stopped
There was a knock at the door
Tae stood and adjusted his robe tighter
A maid entered, young, polite, eyes lowered, she placed a tray on the table near the window
Maid Mira
The general requests your presence for breakfast in the east veranda in fifteen minutes
Kim Taehyung/MC
*blinked* He... Requested?
Maid Mira
Yes mom *she nodded*
Taehyung sat in a quiet again, after she left. His fingers fidgeting in his lap. Jungkook hadn't said a word to him after last night
Kim Taehyung/MC
✉️ He wants breakfast with me
Park Jimin/ Tae's BFF
✉️ that's either romantic or tactful. Do not fall for either
Taehyung stepped out onto the veranda, dressed in soft cream blouse and wide leg linen pants from the wardrobe lady Eleanor provide. His hair was painted neatly, skin pale against the morning light
Jungkook was already seated, sipping his morning coffee, military file open on the table beside his plate. He didn't look up when Tae arrived
Jeon Jungkook/ML
You are two minutes late
Kim Taehyung/MC
I'm still adjusting to... Married life*softly*
Jungkook finally looked at him. His gaze wasn't cold, but Unreadable
Tae sat, he took a deep toast, boiled eggs, papaya slices and coffee
The silence stretched between them
Jeon Jungkook/ML
You don't like coffee
Kim Taehyung/MC
*blinked* I... What?
Jeon Jungkook/ML
*looking at the file* you always drank lemon water in the morning according to the Lee house staff
Kim Taehyung/MC
Maybe I have changed
Jeon Jungkook/ML
*folding the file slowly* people don't change that fast
The words weren't hostile. Just... observation. Clinical. Like he was watching for a tremble in Taehyung's fork hand
Kim Taehyung/MC
You must be used to spotting inconsistencies*carefully*
Jeon Jungkook/ML
I was trained to
Kim Taehyung/MC
Even in your own wife?
He set his coffee down, and their eyes met
Jeon Jungkook/ML
Especially in my wife
just as Tae was about to leave Jungkook spoke again, low almost absentminded
Jeon Jungkook/ML
You walk differently than she did
Kim Taehyung/MC
*paused*... Do I?
Jeon Jungkook/ML
Yes. But I suppose war changes all of us
Taehyung gave a polite nod, hiding the fear in his lungs
But one thing was now clear
Jeon Jungkook wasn't just a soldier. He was a hunter
And Tae had just walked into his crosshairs
