Return to the Altar
The cafe was cozy and quiet — a small, pretty place with warm lights and the soft smell of vanilla in the air. Taehyung sat across from Jungkook, his eyes scanning the boy who used to avoid his gaze like the plague.
Now, here he was. Sitting in front of him like he belonged.
For a moment, there was only silence.
Kim taehyung
Then Taehyung broke it softly, “So… what did you want to talk about?”
Jeon Jungkook (Justin soul)
Jungkook took a deep breath and looked at him with clear eyes. “I want to give our relationship a chance,” he said gently. “I want to marry you willingly.”
Taehyung’s mind went blank.
He stared at the younger boy, trying to process those words. The same Jungkook who flinched at the mention of marriage? The same boy who ran from him like he was poison?
Kim taehyung
“…Is this your new game?” Taehyung’s voice was calm, but there was pain hiding behind his tone.
Jeon Jungkook (Justin soul)
Jungkook blinked, then shook his head. “No. I’m serious, Taehyung. I really want to marry you.”
Kim taehyung
Taehyung frowned. “Why the sudden change of heart? Until yesterday, you didn’t even want to breathe near me.”
Jeon Jungkook (Justin soul)
Jungkook gave a small playful pout. “Maybe I woke up smarter today.”
Kim taehyung
Taehyung didn’t smile. He was still trying to believe it.
So Jungkook took a deep breath and decided to tell him everything.
Jeon Jungkook (Justin soul)
“It was Jiya,” he said quietly. “My step-sister… and my stepmother. They manipulated me. They gave me wrong advice, told me lies about you. They made me believe that you were cold,dangerous, have multiple mistress and just want to marry me because of my face… and that Soo Hyun was the one who truly cared about me.”
Jeon Jungkook (Justin soul)
He looked at Taehyung, guilt heavy in his eyes. “They tried to ruin everything.”
Kim taehyung
Taehyung’s jaw tightened. His fist clenched beneath the table, but he didn’t speak.
Jeon Jungkook (Justin soul)
“And Soo Hyun,” Jungkook scoffed. “He never loved me. It was all an act. He just wanted the Jeon wealth. It was all planned… by the three of them. I was just a pawn.”
Kim taehyung
The pain in Taehyung’s eyes was replaced with rage, but he swallowed it down. “How did you find out?” he asked, voice rough.
Jeon Jungkook (Justin soul)
“I overheard them,” Jungkook said simply, shrugging like it wasn’t a big deal — even though it was.
Jeon Jungkook (Justin soul)
Then Jungkook leaned forward, voice soft. “But now, I want to make things right. I want to be by your side. Not because someone forced me… but because I want to.”
Taehyung stared at him, silent.
He was not able to believe what was happening..His heart wanted to believe but his mind was saying different things again and again...
But eventually he gave in ..
Kim taehyung
“…Okay,” he finally whispered.
Jungkook smiled. A small, real smile.
And after a few more minutes, they parted ways.
Back in his room, Jungkook flopped on his bed and sighed loudly.
Jeon Jungkook (Justin soul)
“SYS-1000~” he called like a child.
SYS-1000
The cute system bot popped into view, floating above him. “Yes, Host?”
Jeon Jungkook (Justin soul)
“I did it~ I told him everything!” Jungkook said proudly.
SYS-1000
“You mean you nearly gave him a heart attack,” the system replied flatly.
Jeon Jungkook (Justin soul)
“Shhh, let me enjoy my moment.” Jungkook giggled. “Now I just need to pursue him. Make him trust me. And…” he sat up with a cheeky grin, “make him fall for me completely.”
SYS-1000
SYS-1000 tilted his head. “Aren’t you the one already in love?”
Jeon Jungkook (Justin soul)
Jungkook rolled his eyes but smiled to himself.
“Maybe. But let’s not spoil the story yet.”
Meanwhile, at the Jeon Mansion…
Jeon jiya(Jungkook's step sister)
Jiya’s voice echoed across the room as she slammed her phone on the table. “He went to meet Taehyung?! Dressed like that?!”
Jeon jiya(Jungkook's step sister)
Her eyes blazed with fury. “I told him to wear that ugly beige jacket! Why did he change?!”
Kim soo Hyun
Soo Hyun, sitting lazily on the couch, raised an eyebrow. “He’s acting strange. Ignoring you. Dressing well. Going to meet Kim Taehyung on his own…”
Kim soo Hyun
He didn't even message me today... he didn't even wish me good morning like everyday... something is odd
Jeon jiya(Jungkook's step sister)
“Something’s wrong,” Jiya hissed, pacing. “He was supposed to be under our control! If he talks to Taehyung and tells him anything—”
Kim soo Hyun
“He won’t,” Soo Hyun said coolly, sipping his drink. “He’s too naive.”
Jeon jiya(Jungkook's step sister)
Jiya stopped, her eyes darkening. “…Not anymore.”
Kim soo Hyun
Soo Hyun stared at her. “Then we have a problem.”
Jeon jiya(Jungkook's step sister)
Jiya’s fake smile returned slowly. “Then we’ll fix it… our way.”
