Our Worlds Collide (Taekook) 01

. . .

Basketball Court, Afternoon

(The ball swishes through the net. The crowd cheers. Jungkook smirks, wiping sweat from his forehead.)

Park Jimin

*clapping* Star player, as always.

Joen Jungkook

What can I say? I’m talented.

Park Jimin

Yeah, yeah. Speaking of talent, your mom texted me.

Joen Jungkook

You talk to my mom?

Park Jimin

She says there’s ‘big news’ at dinner. Sounds suspicious.

Joen Jungkook

*shrugs* Probably a new puppy.

Bookstore, Same Time

(Taehyung sits cross-legged on the floor between shelves, flipping through a photography book. His father, Joon-ho, paces nearby, phone pressed to his ear.)

Kim Joon-ho (Taehyung's father)

Yes, Soo-jin, everything’s ready for tonight.

Kim Taehyung

*without looking up* Who’s Soo-jin?

Kim Joon-ho (Taehyung's father)

You’ll see.

(Taehyung narrows his eyes. His father is smiling — and that’s never a good sign.)

Jeon Household, Evening

(Jungkook enters, sweaty from practice. His mom, Soo-jin, stands in the living room, looking like she’s about to burst with excitement. Beside her is Joon-ho, and beside him — the boy from the bookstore.)

Han Soo-jin ( Jungkooks mother)

Kook! You’re just in time. This is Joon-ho… and his son, Taehyung.

Joen Jungkook

*blinking* …Okay?

Han Soo-jin ( Jungkooks mother)

We… got married today!

(Silence. Jungkook stares. Taehyung’s eyes widen slightly.)

Joen Jungkook

You what?

Kim Joon-ho (Taehyung's father)

From now on, we’re a family.

Kim Taehyung

*quietly, to himself* Fantastic.

Kim Taehyung Age: 19 The Introverted, Artistic Stepbrother Observant, reserved, deeply emotional, with a quirky sense of humor. Talented photographer and poet. Prefers solitude over crowds, feels overshadowed by Jungkook’s natural charm. Finds comfort in music, old films, and quiet places.

Kim Joon-ho Age: 45 Taehyung’s Father Calm, intellectual, often distant but caring in his own way. A literature professor. Has secrets from his past that could complicate the boys’ relationship.

Han Soo-jin Age: 42 Jungkook’s Mother Warm, practical, protective of her son. Remarried after years as a single parent. Determined to make the blended family work, but hides a past love that could shake the family’s trust.
