Thirteen years later-

The orphanage, once filled with the giggles of a 4-year-old Tae, transformed over the years into a home for teenagers of 17 years old. Tae, now navigating adolescence, shared the journey with Kook, a young adult an 21 year old who'd earned his way into college with a scholarship.

bringing with them the unique stories of childhood struggles. Meanwhile, Yoongi and Jimin, old friends, embarked on a joint venture, opening a flower shop. Hobi, the spirited dancer, found his rhythm on the streets, earning a living through his art.

Life took a turn when Yoongi, Jimin, and Hobi, once fellow orphans, decided to spread their wings. They moved into separate flats, sharing spaces to make ends meet. The orphanage, once bustling with laughter, became quieter after the passing of its owner, leaving only Kook and Tae behind with other childrens who grown up too

resonated in the orphanage's halls. Kook, feeling the weight of responsibility, always make sure to take Tae to meet Yoongi, Jimin, and Hobi as tae misses them so much same goes with kook, Each reunion became a bittersweet reminder of the bond they forged in their shared past..

In the years that unfolded, life took different paths for everyone. Yoongi and Jimin's friendship blossomed into love, Their journey continued into marriage, and both found success in their respective careers-Yoongi as a film director and Jimin as a makeup stylist.

Hobi, the street dancer, danced his way into establishing a dance academy. The trio's success spoke of their resilience, a testament to their battles without parents, fighting their way to prosperity.

Namjin, relation of owner and co-worker , found love and they got married. Their small cafe transformed into a well-known restaurant, a symbol of their enduring partnership...

As time marched on, the orphanage, once a hub of shared experiences, now stood quieter than before. Co-workers changed , caretakers had been replaced as the other Jerry's friend took the place of the owner in the orphanage after his death, new comers are not that good and barely live with discipline, bullying started in the orphanage making it hard for other innocent lives, and for tae he have his koo to protect him from  bullies or he himself is enough....

Kook shouldered the responsibility of caring for Tae. Despite the challenges, he ensured that the bond with their missing hyungs remained intact. Regular visits to Yoongi, Jimin, and Hobi became a lifeline, connecting the past to the present...

Yet, beneath the surface, a subtle tension lingered between Kook and Tae. Unspoken words hung in the air, as both secretly admired and cared for each other, tae's clinginess remains the same, their bickering never faded but then changed is their unknown feelings for each other, and they are doubting it with attraction or childhood friend's love which is kind of true too, but not really...

As Tae and Kook grew up together, their bond deepened, but so did the tension in the air. Tae's clinginess remained unchanged, a constant in their friendship, while Kook found himself grappling with unfamiliar emotions stirred by Tae's touch. Despite their closeness, a subtle unease lingered between them, unspoken yet palpable, as they navigated the shifting dynamics of their relationship.

Both friends sat under the city lights, kook took a moment to sit beside Tae, who was quietly looking out at the skyline. The air held a gentle breeze, carrying with it the whispers of their shared childhood..

''yuh seems to be lost tae''....kook said sitting beside tae while tae placed his head on his shoulder sighing...

"Yeah, Kook, lately, I've been feeling a bit lost. Your new friends at university, they seem so different, and I can't help but wonder if I'm holding you back, or maybe yuh would leave me because now yuh have cool chic friends''...tae nodded, a hint of uncertainty in his eyes looking at kook he cupped tae's face, tae held eye contact with his big doe eyes...

"Tae, you're not holding me back. You're a part of me, my everything. University is just a chapter of my life, but you, you are my bestfriend, we know each other for years now and who the fuck said, yuh aren't cool and they are?, tae yuh are the most beautiful person in my universe and cool like a ice, i what do yuh want now baby?''...kook said with a chuckle making other to chuckle as well..

"Thanks Koo, It's just, sometimes I feel like I'm not keeping up with your world, and it scares me''...tae  pouted making his heart skip a beat as always...

"You don't need to keep up with anyone, Tae. We're in this together. You're not a burden, you're the missing piece that completes me. University might bring new faces, but you're the one I want by my side''....said jungkook sincerely, carraseing his soft cheeks, time and situation really made both the kids mature enough, they know how to assure each other, and know everything which can be pulled to ease each other's mind..

"Thanks, Kook. I guess I needed to hear that''...tae's eyes sparkled, a mix of emotions dancing within, he smiled looking at kook's doe eyes

"Anytime, Tae. We navigate these waves of life together, remember? Your insecurities, my challenges – we face them as a team. You're not alone in this''...kook smiled back

"I'm glad we can talk about these things. It makes me feel less alone''...tae hugged jungkook snuggling to his neck who holded him like always, both felt the warmth of their shared childhood and the promise of a future together...

"That's what friendship is for, Tae. We share our fears and dreams, and we grow stronger together. No matter what, you're my everything''...kook nodded carraseing his back..

And so, under the city lights, Kook and Tae found solace in each other's embrace, their conversation becoming a heartwarming in their friendship

Their conversation became a turning point, a moment of vulnerability that strengthened their bond. The unspoken tension dissipated, replaced by a shared understanding of each other's fears and dreams. The echoes of their shared past resonated in the present, weaving a narrative of resilience and growth.

In the quiet moments, within the walls of the orphanage and beyond, the echoes across time whispered stories of friendship, love, and the enduring strength of chosen family..

Through the years, the unspoken bond between Kook and Tae grew stronger. Kook's overprotectiveness transformed into a pillar of support, shielding Tae from the uncertainties of life. Tae, in turn, found courage in Kook's steadfast presence..
