Jungkook got down from his car , buttoning his suit jacket and headed inside
The grand chandelier sparkled above the marble-floored lobby of the Grand Seoul Palace Hotel, its golden light bathing everything in warm luxury. The soft sound of a piano echoed in the background, mixing with the faint murmur of high-profile guests.
Jeon Jungkook walked through the lobby like he owned the place — and in some ways, he almost did, considering his company's dealings with the hotel chain. His black tailored suit fit him perfectly, his sharp jawline even more defined under the soft lighting. Eyes followed him everywhere he went, but he paid no attention.

Taehyung were waiting for him on the staircase
His heart skipped a beat when he saw taehyung

Taehyung’s voice grew a little softer, almost like he was revealing a secret.

Red roses symbolize passionate love, white roses represent purity and innocence.

Kim Taehyung
But when you put them together… it means unity. The blending of passion and sincerity. A balanced love.
Jungkook stared at him for a moment. His eyes flickered briefly, as if something stirred beneath his cold exterior.

You think love can be balanced like a bouquet?
Jungkook asked quietly, his voice losing a bit of its sharp edge.
Taehyung smiled sadly.
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
i believe love is complicated, but yes — it can be balanced if both people care enough to try.
Jungkook’s gaze darkened slightly, and for a moment, Taehyung thought he saw a flicker of conflict in his eyes. But then, Jungkook quickly masked it again.

Jeon Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
I have a meeting. We'll talk later.
Without waiting for a reply, he turned and walked away, leaving Taehyung in the restaurant alone, the scent of roses lingering in the air
Taehyung watched his retreating figure with a bittersweet smile, whispering to himself,
Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
Didn't changed at all
