WHEN WE MET [Taekook]

12. Awakening affection

As evening descended, the mansion transformed into a spectacle reminiscent of a wedding. Every corner of the estate glowed with the warm embrace of twinkling lights, and the delicate fragrance of freshly arranged flowers filled the air. The atmosphere was alive with anticipation, setting the stage for what promised to be an eventful encounter.

The Kim family, along with their extended relatives, warmly welcomed Namjoon and his family.

Namjoon possesses an impressive stature, standing tall with his striking presence. His broad shoulders and well-built physique exude strength and confidence. With straight hair framing his face, his fair skin serves as a canvas for his charming features to shine. His cute dimples, adding to his undeniable appeal and warmth.

Among the crowd, Jungkook stood silently in the corner, observing the commotion.

As the commotion unfolded before him, Jungkook found his attention irresistibly drawn to Taehung, who was making his way towards him. His breath caught in his throat as he marveled at his striking appearance, a realization dawning upon him that he was truly the epitome of beauty. So beautiful he whispers to himself.

(Imagine him with blonde hair)

Clad in pink attire, Taehyung effortlessly stole the spotlight, showcasing a rare ability to pull off the color with grace. Jungkook couldn't help but be mesmerized by his enchanting brown eyes, long hair that fell in perfect waves, while his lashes fluttered with excitement, and the soft curve of his lips.
Noticing the subtle makeup, particularly the smokey eyes, only enhanced Taehyung's beauty in his eyes. Jungkook found himself mesmerized by Taehyung's beauty, so much so that he failed to realize Taehyung's proximity until he was standing right beside him, leaving Jungkook to wonder what was happening to him.

Taehyung approached him with a mischievous grin and said, "Everyone is crazy. Why are they wasting their energy when I am going to run away?"

"Don't come too close to me. They will misunderstand," whispered Jungkook while cautiously glancing around, to see if someone was looking at them.

Taehyung's eyes gleamed with mischief as he saw an opportunity, declaring, "This is the perfect idea to break this alliance."

With a swift tug, Taehyung pulled at Jungkook's shirt collar, exposing his collarbones and a bit of his chest. Jungkook's panic was evident as he struggled to break free, but amidst the welcoming chaos for Namjoon's family, their actions went unnoticed by anyone as they were in the corner of the hall.

In a playful tone, Taehyung teased, "Endure it for me, baby," refusing to release Jungkook's collar.

Annoyed, Jungkook managed to free himself, scolding Taehyung, "Let go of my shirt. What are you doing?"

He walked away, but again, Taehyung held his collar and said, "This is a nice idea to stop this marriage. This is the right option," with twinkling eyes and a boxy smile. He finally got the idea to escape from this marriage. He just needs a plan now.

"You stay away from me. Got it!" warned Jungkook, who yanked Taehyung's hand off of him and walked away.

As Jungkook adjusted his crumpled shirt, Jimin intercepted him, noticing the disheveled state of his attire. With a quick assessment, Jimin glanced behind Jungkook to where Taehyung stood, confirming his suspicions about their relationship. Jungkook, maintaining composure, greeted Jimin with a smile and a simple "Hello." However, Jimin remained silent, walking away with newfound insight.

Jungkook found himself spending time with Taehyung's cousins, and Taehyung, having no other option, went to meet Namjoon, who was seated at the center of the hall.

As Taehyung approached, Namjoon rose from his seat, a smile gracing his lips. He said, "Hi! How are you? Long time!" Namjoon's heart fluttered with joy at seeing Taehyung, his childhood crush. Reflecting on their close bond as best buddies from childhood, Namjoon was convinced that friendship laid the foundation for love, and he couldn't be happier about marrying Taehyung.

"Good. Three years almost," Taehyung replied, feeling content after reuniting with his childhood friend.

"Yeah, how's Seoul?" Namjoon inquired.

Before Taehyung could respond, he noticed the silent attention of everyone around them, listening to their conversation.

"You guys can also talk, there is no such punishment," said Taehyung, breaking the tension.

Everyone laughed and started talking among themselves.

Meanwhile, Jungkook was with Taehyung's cousins when Heejae approached him, requesting his presence as Grandpa Dae was asking for him.

Jungkook followed Heejae and stood beside Grandpa Dae, who was seated near Namjoon and Taehyung.

"Everyone, meet him. His name is Jungkook, and he's a musician," Grandpa Dae introduced Jungkook to the guests.

"Jungkook, you won't remember everybody's names, so meet our main guest, Kim Namjoon. He's a doctor," Grandpa Dae continued, gesturing towards Namjoon.

Jungkook and Namjoon exchanged handshakes.

"Hi Jungkook, How are you?" said Namjoon with a smile.

Jungkook's response of "I am fine" came with an undertone of unease, A hot pressure coiled inside Jungkook's chest that he couldn't quite decipher, but one thing was certain: he disliked the sight of Namjoon and Taehyung together. He unconsciously clicked his tongue inside his cheek in annoyance.

As Taehyung sat beside Namjoon, he couldn't help but express his admiration for Jungkook's singing.

"He is a really good singer, Shouldn't he be singing a song on this happy occasion" " he remarked, a hint of mischief dancing in his voice as he glanced over at Jungkook, eager to see his reaction. He had promised himself that he'd unveil more of Jungkook's musical side.

Sensing Taehyung's playful intentions, Jungkook's color drained from his face, nerves overtaking him at the thought of singing in front of the entire crowd.

"Yes! You should sing," said Grandpa Dae.

"No! No! He is just joking,"he protested, attempting to deflect attention away from himself.

"No! I am serious. He is really a very good singer," said Taehyung with a genuine smile.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Meet my friend Jungkook from Seoul. He is going to sing a song for you all." Heejae declared cheerfully into the microphone, shooting Jungkook an encouraging smile as he handed him the microphone and gestured for him to take center stage.

"Uncle no! No! Please," Jungkook again protested with a worried expression.

"Son, you have to sing. Let me also see what Seoul people can do," said Grandpa Dae, challenging Jungkook.

"Okay," said Jungkook reluctantly, his grip tightening on the microphone as he stood before the expectant audience. Shyness washed over him, his introverted nature making him uncomfortable with all eyes on him. "Why are you all looking at me like this? I will get nervous," he mumbled awkwardly, eliciting laughter from the crowd.

"No problem! Everyone look elsewhere," said Heejae with a laugh, which helped to alleviate some of the tension, prompting the crowd to divert their attention elsewhere.

As he prepared to sing, Jungkook's gaze met Taehyung's, who offered a supportive smile, while wiggling his eyebrows and giving him a flying kiss, trying to encourage Jungkook to sing. Jungkook couldn't help but smile in return, realizing in that moment his deep desire to always preserve that beautiful smile forever.

As he stands there, singing the song for the guests, a rush of emotions floods over him. With each verse, he opens up a little more, he feels a mix of excitement and vulnerability. There's a stirring within him, a feeling he struggles to identify or put into words. It's as if there's a magnetic pull driving him to showcase his vocal abilities to Taehyung, to leave a lasting impression. Despite the uncertainty, he embraces the sensation, allowing it to fuel his performance.

(Euphoria)
"You are the sunlight that rose again in my life.
A reincarnation of my childhood dreams
I don't know what these emotions are
Am I still dreaming?
There is a green oasis in the desert
A priori deep inside of me
I'm so happy, I can't breathe
Everything's getting blurry

I hear the ocean from far away
Across the dream, past the woods
I'm following this clarity
Take my hands now
You are the cause of my euphoria
Take my hands now
You are the cause of my euphoria

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh ye
ah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Close the door now
When I'm with you, I'm in utopia"
