ep 4
** Internet Café – Night**
It was 9:00 PM when Taehyung quietly slipped out of her room, careful not to disturb anyone. She had been feeling overwhelmed by the constant pressure from past life memory and her problems. Tonight, she needed a break, a time to relax and enjoy herself. Her best friend, Jimi, was always the perfect person to unwind with.
The cool night air greeted her as she made her way to the nearby internet café. It was a familiar spot — cozy and filled with the soft glow of computer screens. The café was filled with people engrossed in their games, the clicking of keys and occasional cheers creating a comfortable background noise.
When Taehyung entered, she immediately spotted Jimin at one of the computers, fully immersed in her game. Jimin was already on a roll, her headphones snug against her ears, her fingers flying across the keyboard. Taehyung smiled and walked over to her.
Taehyung called out, tapping her on the shoulder.
Jimin startled, almost knocking over her drink in the process, and then turned to see Taehyung. Her face immediately brightened.
park jimin
Tae! You actually came! I thought you’d be busy studying all night!
Taehyung laughed, shrugging casually.
Kim taehyung
I needed a break. Besides, who else can put up with your weird gaming habits?
She grinned.
Jimin laughed, pulling out a chair beside her.
park jimin
I’m glad you came. Come on, play with me! I’ll show you how it’s done.
Taehyung chuckled, sitting down.
Kim taehyung
Yeah, right. You know I’m the one who’s going to win!
Jimin grinned mischievously.
park jimin
We’ll see about that!
They immediately jumped into a game, their competitive but playful banter filling the air as they dove into the virtual world. For Taehyung, it was a moment of freedom — a time to laugh and enjoy herself without the weight of being the perfect daughter, the perfect student. It was just her and Jimin, and that felt good.
**Meanwhile: Jungkook and Yoongi – Same Internet Café**
At a nearby table, Jungkook and his cousin and best friend Yoongi were also spending time in the café. They weren’t into gaming like Jimin and Taehyung, but they enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere. Both were quietly sipping their drinks, the tension of the day starting to melt away.
Yoongi, noticing Jungkook’s quiet demeanor, gave him a sideways glance.
min yoongi
You’ve been off today, Kook. What’s going on?
Jungkook took a slow sip of his iced tea, his gaze flickering over to Jimin and Taehyung. They were laughing and absorbed in their game. His heart skipped a beat when his eyes locked onto Taehyung for a moment. Her smile was radiant, and the sound of her laughter made something in him stir — a feeling he couldn’t ignore.
But just as quickly as the feeling came, he pushed it away, his chest tightening with unease.
jeon jungkook
💭.It’s will be not that simple,
He thought, trying to hide his feelings.
Yoongi raised an eyebrow, sensing his cousin’s distraction.
min yoongi
You’ve been looking at her a lot lately. What’s up?
Jungkook tried to cover his discomfort with a half-smile, but it wasn’t convincing.
jeon jungkook
I’m not looking at her. Just... observing.
min yoongi
Kook, you’ve been staring at Taehyung for the last fifteen minutes. Don’t tell me you're not interested.
Jungkook’s face flushed slightly, but he quickly changed the subject.
jeon jungkook
It’s not like that. Besides, you know our families don’t exactly get along.
His voice dropped, heavy with the weight of history.
jeon jungkook
The Kim family and the Jeon family... It’s complicated.
jeon jungkook
💭.Because of that I can't be with her in past.
Yoongi leaned back in his chair, folding his arms across his chest.
min yoongi
That’s true. But you can’t just ignore how you feel because of some family rivalry, Kook. You’re not a kid anymore.
Jungkook clenched his jaw, feeling the internal conflict surge within him.
jeon jungkook
But it’s not that simple
The rivalry between the **Jeon** and **Kim** families wasn’t just business competition; it was a deeply rooted grudge that had stretched across generations. His father had always warned him about the Kims, especially Taehyung’s family.
Taehyung’s family** was the second richest in Korea, and the **Jeon family** had always been in the lead. They had been rivals in business for years, and that animosity had created a tension that ran deeper than just competition.
jeon jungkook
💭.What would my family think if they knew I was even thinking about her?
Jungkook thought, his stomach twisting with the weight of the impossible situation. He felt torn between his feelings and his loyalty to his family.
jeon jungkook
I just don’t know if I can risk it.
Jungkook admitted quietly.
jeon jungkook
💭.But I will make sure to have her.
jeon jungkook
I don’t know what will happen if I... if I get involved with her.
Yoongi watched him carefully, understanding the weight of the situation.
min yoongi
I get it, Kook. But sometimes, the heart doesn’t listen to logic.
He leaned forward, his tone softening.
min yoongi
You’ve got to figure out what matters more.
**Back to Taehyung and Jimin:**
park jimin
Jimin glanced over at Taehyung, noticing how relaxed she looked.Tae, you really needed this, huh?
Jimin said, a playful smile on her lips.
park jimin
I can see it. You look so much happier when you’re not stressing over grades and family.
Taehyung nodded, a soft smile tugging at her lips.
Kim taehyung
I know... sometimes I just need to escape for a little while.
But even as she said that, she couldn’t shake the thought of Jungkook — the way he’d caught her eye earlier, the way his presence felt like a magnet pulling her in.
Kim taehyung
💭. his eyes.......
Kim taehyung
💭.Why does he make me feel like this?
She wondered, even though she knew it wasn’t the right time to think about it.
**Jungkook’s Silent Conflict:**
From across the room, Jungkook watched Taehyung, his heart heavy with conflicting emotions. He could see her laughing with Jimin, the carefree way she was enjoying herself, and it only made his feelings for her more complicated.
The more he thought about her, the more his love for her grew, but the more he realized that there was no easy way to act on it. The rivalry between their families loomed over everything, a shadow that kept him from reaching out.
jeon jungkook
💭.But how long can I keep ignoring going to you ?
Jungkook thought, his heart pounding as he caught one more glimpse of Taehyung’s smile.
As the night came to an end, Taehyung and Jimin said their goodbyes and left the café, the cool night air greeting them as they stepped outside. Taehyung’s thoughts were still buzzing with questions about Jungkook and the strange pull she felt toward him, but she quickly pushed them aside.
Kim taehyung
💭.I can’t think about that right now,
And Jungkook, still sitting in the café, watched them leave, a part of him wanting to call out to Taehyung — to say something, anything — but his fear of what that taehyung will found him pervert.
