Taekook: HEARTS ENLISTED! EP 2: Different!

Jaehyun and Ni-ki finally finished arranging the books in the library. The sun was setting, casting a warm glow through the windows. They packed up their things and headed out of the school, chatting about their day.

Myung Jaehyun

“Want to come over to my house?” *his eyes brightened with excitement*

Ni-Ki

*nods* “Sure, I’d love to.”

Jaehyun’s family lived in a large, beautiful house not far from the school. They walked together, the cool evening air refreshing after a long day. When they arrived, the front door opened before they could even knock.

Mathilda Kaiser/ Jaehyun Mother

“Jae baby! Welcome home!!” *opens her arms to hug Jaehyun*

Myung Jaehyun

“Hi, Mom” *he said giving her a quick hug*

Myung Jaehyun

“Oh, by the way… This is Ni-ki.” *points to Ni-ki who's standing behind him*

Mathilda Kaiser/ Jaehyun Mother

*grins* “Oh, so it's him! He's so handsome wow!”

Mathilda Kaiser/ Jaehyun Mother

*smiles sheepishly towards Jae for a millisecond and then turns towards Ni-Ki*

Mathilda Kaiser/ Jaehyun Mother

“I’ve heard so much about you, Ni-ki. It’s nice to finally meet you!” *says while smiling at him*

Mathilda Kaiser/ Jaehyun Mother

"Oh, How stupid of me, come inside kids!” *makes a way for them to come inside*

Jaehyun’s father, Myung Woojin, appeared in the doorway behind her. He was a distinguished-looking man with dark hair and a gentle smile.

Myung Woojin/ Jaehyun Father

“Come on in, boys. Dinner’s almost ready.”

Ni-Ki

*pulls Jae's shirt from behind and whispers to him* “No wonder you are drop-dead gorgeous, your parents are literally looking like your cousins!”

Myung Jaehyun

*blushes a bit because of the compliment, 'Drop-dead gorgeous ' *

Myung Jaehyun

“Let's just go!”

Ni-Ki

*smirks*

As they walked inside, Jaehyun felt a wave of comfort wash over him. His home was spacious and elegant, filled with warm colors and cozy furniture. They made their way to the dining room, where a delicious meal awaited them.

He's a half German and half Korean.

Mathilda and Woojin had a love story that Jaehyun loved to hear. They met years ago when Mathilda Kaiser- a German noble, was traveling in Korea. She was a young artist, and Woojin was a successful businessman. They fell in love quickly, enchanted by each other’s cultures and personalities. They had built a beautiful life together, and Jaehyun was the center of their world.

Myung Woojin/ Jaehyun Father

“Tell us about your day, baby!”

Woojin asked his son as they sat for dinner. It was their daily routine to talk with family especially Jae.

Jaehyun narrated the events of their latest prank and the punishment that followed. Mathilda and Woojin listened, their eyes twinkling with amusement and smiles never leaving their face.

Mathilda Kaiser/ Jaehyun Mother

“You boys are always getting into something,” *she said as she laughed*

Myung Woojin/ Jaehyun Father

“But it’s good to see you learning from it.” *smiles and looks fondly at the kids*

The kids nodded and the dinner continued with many memories and laughter. After dinner, Jaehyun and Ni-ki headed to Jaehyun’s room, which was filled with all sorts of gadgets and posters. They played video games and talked about their plans for the next prank, laughing and enjoying each other’s company.

Later that night, Jaehyun and Ni-ki were sprawled out on the floor of Jaehyun’s room, surrounded by snacks and video game controllers. Jaehyun was amazed, his laughter filling the room as he recounted their latest adventures. Ni-ki, lying on his side, watched him with a mix of admiration and something deeper...

They played video games and talked about their plans for the next prank, laughing and enjoying each other’s company. As Jaehyun talked, Ni-ki reached out and gently caressed his hair, a small, affectionate gesture that Jaehyun didn’t seem to notice. To anyone else, it would look like a simple, friendly touch. But to Ni-ki, it was a way to feel closer to Jaehyun, even if just for a moment.

Jaehyun’s life was filled with warmth and love. His parents adored him, and their home was a sanctuary of comfort and security. Ni-ki couldn’t help but feel envious. His own life was so different, filled with challenges and a sense of emptiness that contrasted sharply with Jaehyun’s happiness.

Watching Jaehyun laugh and smile, Ni-ki’s heart ached. He longed for the kind of love and stability that Jaehyun took for granted. And yet, he knew that his feelings for Jaehyun went beyond friendship. Every smile, every laugh, every touch made him fall deeper, even though he knew that Jaehyun didn’t feel the same way.

It was almost 12 midnight, Jaehyun and Ni-ki went to the bed.

Jaehyun thought about how lucky he was. His parents adored him and supported him in everything he did. They gave him the freedom to explore and learn, always there to guide him when he needed it. And he had Ni-ki, his best friend, who understood him better than anyone. Just before he drifted off to sleep, Jaehyun smiled. Life was good, and he was grateful for every moment.

Myung Jaehyun

“Noiighht, Ni-kiii !” *dozes off*

Ni-Ki

“Sweet dreams, Love.” *whispers the word 'Love' *

As Jae drifted off to sleep, Ni-ki sighed softly, his hand resting on Jaehyun’s hair. He cherished these moments of closeness, even though they made his heart ache with unspoken feelings. For now, he would hide his longing and envy, content to be by Jaehyun’s side as his best friend. It was the only way he knew how to cope with the love he felt and the loneliness that came with it.

He envied. But he was happy with the fact that Jaehyun is happy. Ni-Ki gave out an empty smile looking at Jae's sleeping figure and broke out of his trans of thoughts when he got a phone call.

Ni-Ki

“Ugh, He doens't even let me be happy for one second.” *annoyed looking at the caller ID*
