The Life Which We Don't Want
Introduction
Jeon Jungkook
Age: 27
Occupation: CEO of a luxury global brand
Personality: Arrogant, powerful, cold exterior — but deeply lonely
The sound of leather shoes echoes on the cold marble floor of a skyscraper office. Jeon Jungkook, dressed in black from head to toe, stares out the tinted glass wall that shows the city below — all his, yet empty.
His phone rings. He declines. His assistant knocks. He doesn’t answer.
He turns away from the window, eyes dull. He’s built empires, crushed rivals, walked red carpets — but he’s never felt warmth.
People fear him. Respect him. But no one knows him.
His world is polished but hollow.
Kim Taehyung
Age: 25
Occupation: Freelance photographer and part-time bookstore assistant
Personality: Gentle, dreamy, soft — carries warmth in his silence
The scent of old paper fills the air in a small, sunlit bookstore. Kim Taehyung leans on the wooden counter, flipping through a poetry book, humming under his breath.
The light from the window falls on his soft curls, his smile faint, eyes half-lost in a dream. A child giggles near the comic section — he smiles.
On weekends, he takes photos of strangers in parks and finds beauty in mundane things — a flower poking through a sidewalk, a couple holding hands in silence, a bird resting on a broken signboard.
He lives simply. Quietly. But with depth.
He believes love should feel like home, not chaos.
You Said You’d Stay
A quiet graveyard. Wind brushes through wilted flowers on a gravestone
~ Kim Taehyung
The one who bloomed even in winter ~
Jungkook kneels down slowly, dressed in all black, soaked by the rain but unmoved. He places fresh lilies down
His voice cracks as he begins to speak...
Jeon Jungkook
You said you’d stay even when you’re not near me…
But you lied, Tae *his voice shakes*
Jeon Jungkook
Because I see you everywhere, but you’re not here. Not really
He lets out a bitter laugh, wiping his face with a trembling hand
Jeon Jungkook
You remember this place?
Jeon Jungkook
You said it felt peaceful. Like... the world finally shuts up and lets you breathe
Jungkook lays down gently beside the grave, hand brushing the earth like he’s touching Tae’s hair
Jeon Jungkook
You weren’t supposed to go
Jeon Jungkook
You weren’t supposed to leave me with just... this silence
Jeon Jungkook
You made me promise to live, but how do I do that without you?
Jeon Jungkook
Do you know how many times I tried to end it?😭
Jeon Jungkook
But I couldn’t
Jeon Jungkook
Because your voice... your damn voice... kept playing in my head
Jeon Jungkook
*tear falls, and he clutches his chest* "Live, even if I’m not near you"
Jeon Jungkook
That’s what you said
Jeon Jungkook
And I hate that you said it😭
Jeon Jungkook
Because it hurts... it hurts so much to listen to you
Silence. Just the rain. His breath shallow
Jeon Jungkook
Do you remember the day we met?
Jeon Jungkook
Because I do...*hiccups*
Jeon Jungkook
Every moment. Every word
Jeon Jungkook
Every look you gave me like I was just another stranger.
God, you annoyed me so much that day…
Jeon Jungkook
*chuckles softly while tears flowing* You walked into my life like a storm, and I didn’t even see it coming
Jeon Jungkook
You know what, Tae?
Jeon Jungkook
Let me tell you the story again.Our story.
Jeon Jungkook
From the beginning
His eyes close as the memory begin
