Chapter Text
A lively wedding banquet hall, filled with laughter, music, and guests in glamorous attire.
Taehyung and Jimin sit at a quiet table near the window, away from the crowd.
The golden lights flicker over their faces, as they watch the dance floor.
Jungkook is mingling with guests, while Yoongi stands by the drinks, his gaze subtly fixed on Jimin.
(Jimin's POV):
The music fills the room, but it barely reaches me.
My eyes drift to Taehyung, who's laughing at something Jungkook just said.
There's a lightness in his expression I haven't seen in a long time.
He's happy-and I'm glad.
I really am.
But deep down, there's this gnawing ache, this lingering thought I can't shake.
"The person I love, doesn't even have an idea about my feelings.
And I can't bring myself to love the person who loves me. What a life."
I didn't realize I'd said it out loud, until Yoongi's voice breaks through my thoughts.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Yoongi asked, his deep voice, making me flinch.
I freeze, suddenly aware of his presence beside me.
His eyes are sharp yet curious, like he's trying to piece me together.
"Nothing~
Just thinking out loud."
But Yoongi isn't easily convinced.
He holds my gaze a second longer, and for a moment, I wonder if he already knows.
