⭐ NEXT EVENING — YOONGI ARRIVES ON SET
You're in the New York studio for rehearsal when suddenly:
Yoongi:
"Yah. Why is my favorite singer not looking at me?"
You spin around.
You:
"YOONGI!!!"
He opens his arms, and you run into a big, warm, comfortable hug.
Yoongi pats your back lightly.
Yoongi:
"Missed you, kid."
You laugh.
"You saw me two months ago."
Yoongi:
"That was too long ago."
Jin comes in next.
Jin:
"WOW, Yoongi's hugging someone voluntarily?
Dristy-ah must be special."
Jungkook enters dramatically with iced coffee in both hands.
Jungkook:
"She's ALWAYS special. We been telling y'all."
Taehyung enters last—
hands in pockets, expression unreadable.
The moment he sees Yoongi's arm still around you,
his jaw tightens just a little.
You don't notice.
Yoongi definitely notices.
🎲TRUTH OR DARE — The Game That Should NOT Have Happened
Yoongi came to "visit."
Which turned into "stay for a bit."
Which turned into "let's hang out."
Which turned into Truth or Dare in your rehearsal lounge.
Everyone sits in a circle:
Jungkook
Jin
Yoongi
Taehyung
You
Jungkook claps his hands.
Jungkook:
"Let's begin with chaos."
Yoongi:
"I trust no one here."
Jin:
"Good. You shouldn't."
Taehyung (glancing at you):
"Let's keep it simple, okay?"
You smile awkwardly.
You:
"Sure… yeah… simple…"
Jungkook spins the bottle.
It lands on:
YOU.
Jungkook smirks EVILLY.
Jungkook:
"Truth or dare, Y/n?"
You squint at him.
"You're planning something. I can see it in your bunny eyes."
Jungkook:
"I'll take that as 'dare.'"
Taehyung:
"No. Let her choose."
You look at Tae—
he's trying to protect you.
But you're in a mood tonight.
You:
"Dare."
The entire room:
"OHHHHHHHH."
Jungkook leans in.
Jungkook:
"Kiss someone in this circle."
Your soul leaves your body.
You:
"KIM JUNGKOOK—"
Jungkook:
"You chose dare."
Yoongi drinks his coffee calmly.
Yoongi:
"Don't pick me. My heart can't take it."
Taehyung's entire face stiffens.
He looks down, then at you, then away.
Jin fans the air.
Jin:
"Can someone please record this for science?"
You panic for a second… then look at Yoongi.
He's smirking.
Yoongi:
"It's just for fun. Don't worry."
Before Taehyung can stop you—
you lean forward and give
a quick, tiny, playful kiss on Yoongi's cheek.
The room explodes.
Jungkook:
"NO WAY—SHE PICKED YOONGI HYUNG—"
Jin:
"The betrayal! The disrespect! The DRAMA!"
Yoongi (cool as ever):
"This is the best day of my life."
Taehyung doesn't say anything.
Not a word.
But you feel the temperature drop by 20 degrees.
He clears his throat.
Quiet. Controlled.
Taehyung:
"Okay. My turn."
He spins the bottle.
It lands on you again.
He stares at the bottle.
Then at you.
Taehyung:
"Truth or dare?"
Your heartbeat goes insane.
You:
"…Truth."
He leans slightly toward you.
His voice soft but sharp.
Taehyung:
"Did you really have to choose Yoongi?"
Yoongi chokes on his drink.
Jungkook laughs so hard he falls sideways.
Jin covers his mouth dramatically.
You blink.
You:
"Tae… it was a dare—"
Taehyung:
"You could've chosen Jungkook. Or Jin."
Jin:
"HEY—why am I a safer option?"
Jungkook:
"Dramaaaa."
Yoongi raises his hands.
Yoongi:
"Ayyo. Don't drag me. She's my kid sister."
Taehyung looks away.
Taehyung:
"Next round."
But everyone knows he's bothered.
VERY bothered.
🌑 LATER THAT NIGHT – THE REAL DRAMA BEGINS
When the boys left the studio, you tried to call Taehyung…but he didn't pick up.
You texted him:
"Tae? Are you okay?"
Message delivered…not seen.
NEXT DAY — You Go Home, Taehyung Already There
You walked into the bedroom quietly.
Taehyung was sitting on the couch, hair messy, deep eyes staring at the floor.
He didn't look angry.
He looked… hurt.
You softly:
"Tae…"
He raised his hand slightly.
"I'm not shouting. Just… talk to me."
You walked closer, sat opposite him.
Taehyung finally lifted his eyes:
"Why didn't you choose truth?"
You blinked.
"Wh-what?"
"If you chose truth, you could have avoided the kiss."
You sighed.
"It was a game. Everyone was having fun."
Taehyung exhaled deeply.
"I'm not upset about the kiss itself."
His voice was soft, vulnerable.
"I'm upset because you didn't think how it would make me feel."
You blinked fast, taken aback.
Taehyung NEVER talked like this.
You:
"Tae… I didn't want to hurt you. Yoongi is a friend. You know he doesn't mean anything like that."
Taehyung:
"I know he doesn't. But…"
He kept staring at your hands.
"I like being the only one you kiss."
Your heart almost stopped.
You whispered:
"Are you jealous?"
Taehyung smirked painfully:
"Very."
He leaned forward, elbows on knees.
"I'm not claiming you. I'm not saying I have a right. I just…"
His voice lowered.
"…I wish you felt even half of what I feel."
You gulped.
You:
"Tae… I don't want to hurt you by accident. I really care about you."
Taehyung:
"I know. But caring isn't… liking."
Silence. Heavy, emotional, raw.
He suddenly stood up, came closer, and cupped your face gently.
"Just promise me something…"
His thumb brushed your cheek.
"…if you ever kiss someone again—even by mistake—let it be me first."
You didn't know what to say.
Your breath got stuck.
You couldn't move.
So you nodded slowly.
And Taehyung gave the softest, slowest kiss on your forehead before stepping back.
🌙 LATER THAT NIGHT – TENSION RISES
You couldn't sleep.
Taehyung was lying on the bed, facing away. You hesitated… then climbed next to him.
You whispered:
"Tae… are you sleeping?"
He didn't move.
But he answered:
"No."
You hesitated again and placed your hand on his back.
Taehyung froze.
Then gently held your hand and pulled you closer until your forehead pressed against his shoulder.
"Just… stay like this."
He whispered.
"It calms me."
You closed your eyes and breathed slowly.
And for the first time…
You felt something tighten inside your chest.
Something dangerous.
Something warm.
Something like… love trying to grow.
