Couple of weeks later -

As Tae roamed on the roof of his house, enveloped by the quiet of the night sky, he found solace in the solitude. The stars above twinkled like distant beacons, guiding his thoughts into the realm of contemplation.

Suddenly, a faint shuffling sound broke the silence. Tae turned to see Jungkook, his friend and confidant, joining him on the roof. Without a word, Jungkook settled beside him, their shoulders almost touching.

For a moment, neither of them spoke, content to share the serenity of the night in silence. The cool breeze played with their hair as they gazed at the stars, lost in their own thoughts yet connected by the shared moment.

As time passed, Tae felt a sense of comfort knowing that he wasn't alone in his midnight musings. With Jungkook by his side, the weight of the world felt a little lighter, the darkness a little less daunting.

Eventually, a soft smile tugged at Tae's lips as he turned to Jungkook, wordlessly expressing gratitude for his presence. Jungkook returned the smile, a silent acknowledgment of their unspoken bond.

As Tae and Jungkook sat side by side on the roof, surrounded by the tranquility of the night, Jungkook shifted uneasily, a weight evident in his demeanor. Finally, he broke the silence, his voice barely above a whisper.

"Tae, there's something I need to tell you''...Jungkook began, his words hesitant yet determined

"It's been weighing on my mind for very long now, and I can't shake it. I feel like if I don't tell you, I won't be able to sleep properly, like I haven't been able to for the past few months''...Tae turned to him, concern etched on his features...

"What is it, Jungkook? You know you can tell me anything''...tae said encouraging other to tell him

Jungkook took a deep breath, breaking the silence that had enveloped them throughout the night.

"Tae, these past weeks have been more than just figuring out jealousy. It's about realizing how much you mean to me''...as he began, his voice carrying a gentle tremor Tae's eyes met Jungkook's, reflecting a mixture of anticipation and warmth, jungkook turned to him fully and cupped his face gently....

"Tae, every laughter we shared, every tear we wiped away for each other, it all led me to this moment. I've cherished you in ways I struggled to understand until now''... jungkook whispered taking him off guard who was listening to every single word intently

"Tae, you're the constant in my life. From childhood games to navigating the uncertainties of adulthood, it's always been you. I've fallen for the person you've become, and I can't imagine my life without you''...tae feeling the weight of those words, looked into jungkook's eyes just to show the sincerity those orbs helds...

The quiet surroundings amplified the vulnerability in their voices, creating a cocoon of shared emotions that sealed their unspoken connection with the simple yet profound words...

"I love you"

In that moment, as jungkook's heartfelt confession lingered in the air, tae's eyes sparkled with a mix of joy and vulnerability. A soft smile graced his lips, and his cheeks flushed with a rosy hue. His gaze held a depth of emotion, reflecting the years of shared experiences and the newfound revelation of love.

His usually expressive eyes shimmered with a profound warmth, and a gentle glow surrounded him, as if the weight of unspoken feelings had finally lifted. Tae's demeanor exuded a quiet confidence, born out of the realization that the person he had grown up with had become something more—a love that transcended the boundaries of friendship.
