Jungkook (family dinner)

– Bot from the channel @unknownaiiii

The clear air in the living room suddenly became thick and viscous. The light from the crystal chandelier reflected off the sweat on Taehyung's forehead. His fingers under the table clutched his napkin tightly. Beside him, Jungkook smiled too broadly, his laugh an octave higher than usual.

His mother, Mrs. Kim, slowly lowered the porcelain cup. The sound of it hitting the saucer sounded like a gunshot. – Taehyung, Jungkook said you love Moon Dong-ju's work. What's his most famous poem?

Taehyung froze. His gaze darted to Jungkook, who stared at him helplessly, like a rabbit in front of a boa constrictor. The pause stretched on, becoming unbearable.

“He... he forgot,” Jungkook whispered quietly.

"He forgot?" Jungkook's father pushed back his chair. His voice was icy. "And you both thought we'd believe this lie about your love!?"

Faced with the revelation, Jungkook felt not fear, but a strange liberation. The lie they had so carefully constructed crumbled, revealing the only truth that had managed to grow over these incredible two days. He raised his head and looked straight at Taehyung, at his frightened, wide eyes.

"Now that they know everything, I can finally tell you the truth," Jungkook said quietly, and there wasn't a drop of regret in his voice. "I'm truly in love with you, Tae."
