Third Person Pov.
---------------------

Jungkook stood still, Jimin’s words echoing in his mind. 

*"They’re working together."* 

His younger brother. Han Sohee. 

The betrayal ran deeper than he had imagined. 

His jaw clenched as he ran a hand through his hair. *How much had Yoongi lied to him?* 

*"Jungkook?"* 

Jungkook turned his head, finding Taehyung standing hesitantly in the doorway. His presence was grounding, but the storm inside Jungkook didn’t settle. 

Without thinking, he reached for Taehyung, his fingers wrapping around his wrist. 

*"You knew."* His voice was strained. 

Taehyung’s breath hitched, his gaze flickering with hesitation before he nodded. *"I had my suspicions, but I didn’t have proof."* 

Jungkook exhaled sharply. *"And Sehun?"* 

At the mention of his current boyfriend, Taehyung stiffened. 

*"He doesn’t know anything,"* Taehyung admitted quietly. 

Jungkook scoffed. *"Of course, he doesn’t. Because you don’t let people in, do you, Taehyung?"* 

Taehyung flinched at the sharpness in his voice. 

Jimin stirred in the hospital bed, and both of them immediately lowered their voices. 

*"Jungkook… this isn’t about me,"* Taehyung murmured. 

Jungkook’s hands curled into fists. 

*"It is."* He turned fully to face him. *"Because everything always comes back to you."* 

Taehyung opened his mouth, but before he could respond, a voice interrupted them. 

*"I see now."* 

Both of them turned toward the door—where **Sehun stood, watching them.** 

His expression wasn’t angry. **It was calm—too calm.** 

*"You still love him,"* Sehun said, looking at Taehyung. 

Taehyung sucked in a sharp breath. 

Sehun chuckled softly, shaking his head. *"I should have known."* 

Jungkook clenched his jaw, stepping slightly in front of Taehyung. *"Sehun—"* 

*"Save it."* Sehun’s voice was steady, but there was an unmistakable edge to it. 

He looked at Taehyung, eyes darkening with something unreadable. *"You should’ve told me the truth."* 

Taehyung swallowed. *"I—"* 

Sehun exhaled sharply before cutting him off. *"I hope he’s worth it."* 

Without another word, he turned and walked away. 

The air felt heavier in his absence. 

Jungkook watched the emotions flicker across Taehyung’s face—guilt, regret, relief. 

*"You should go after him,"* Jungkook said after a moment. 

Taehyung hesitated, glancing at him. *"Do you want me to?"* 

Jungkook met his gaze. 

*"No."* 

Taehyung exhaled, his eyes softening. *"Then I won’t."*
