For as long as Taehyung could remember, Jungkook had seemed like the perfect person.

He was friendly, outgoing, and warm. He talked to everyone with ease, remembered small details about people, and always wore a bright smile. Wherever he went, people naturally gathered around him.

To Taehyung, Jungkook was sunshine.

Even after their marriage, nothing seemed different. Jungkook would bring him flowers for no reason, ask about his day, and make sure he never felt alone. Friends, relatives, neighbors—everyone praised him.

"You're lucky to have a husband like Jungkook."

Taehyung believed it too.

For two years, he never questioned anything.

Then one rainy evening, everything changed.

Jungkook had forgotten his phone at home.

Taehyung wasn't the type to invade someone's privacy, but the phone kept ringing. Thinking it might be important, he picked it up.

The caller ID made him freeze.

A name he had never seen before.

The message that appeared beneath it was even stranger.

"The problem has been taken care of. No one suspects anything."

Taehyung frowned.

Before he could process it, more messages appeared.

"The reports have been erased."

"Your identity is still safe."

"Hunter is waiting for your orders."

His hands trembled.

Identity?

Orders?

Who were these people?

And why were they talking to Jungkook like he was someone completely different?

That night, Taehyung couldn't sleep.

For the first time in two years of marriage, he looked at his husband and felt like he was staring at a stranger.

The smiling man sleeping beside him...

Who was he, really?

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

Jeon Jungkook

If someone asked the Jeon family to describe Jungkook in one word, nobody would be able to agree.

Some would call him sweet.

Others would call him annoying.

His siblings would probably call him a headache.

And his father would simply smile and say,

"My favorite child."

Jeon Jungkook, twenty-five years old, was the middle child among five brothers and one sister. Growing up in a house full of loud personalities, he somehow managed to become the loudest of them all.

He was cheerful, bubbly, and endlessly talkative. He could strike up a conversation with anyone, whether it was a stranger on the street or a family friend he'd met years ago. His laughter was infectious, and his playful nature often made people forget he was already an adult.

Many people thought Jungkook was simple-minded because of how carefree he acted. Some even called him stupid.

But appearances were deceiving.

Jungkook possessed many talents. He could cook delicious meals, sing beautifully, and draw surprisingly well. Whenever he focused on something, he learned quickly.

The problem was that he rarely wanted to focus on anything for long.

His elder brother constantly tried to convince him to join the family company, believing Jungkook had potential if he would only take things seriously.

Jungkook always refused.

Work sounded boring.

Sleeping late, bothering his siblings, eating snacks, and spending time with people he loved sounded much better.

Despite his playful behavior, he had a soft heart. He respected his elders, helped people whenever he could, and hated seeing anyone cry.

Ironically, people often believed Jungkook himself would be the first to cry during emotional situations.

He was also famously afraid of ghosts.

The sight of a horror movie trailer was enough to send him running to the nearest family member for protection.

His siblings never let him forget it.

Five years ago, Jungkook's life changed when his mother passed away.

She had always adored him, and he had adored her just as much.

Even as he grew older, he would rest his head in her lap, tell her stories about his day, and take care of her whenever she was tired or sick. Losing her left a wound he rarely talked about.

Sometimes, when nobody was watching, he still missed her terribly.

Today, at twenty-five, Jungkook was married to Kim Taehyung, whom he had married two years earlier.

To the outside world, Jungkook appeared carefree and happy—a man who laughed loudly, smiled often, and never seemed worried about the future.

But beneath the childish grin and playful personality was someone far more complicated than most people realized.

Someone who hid his pain behind jokes.

Someone who loved deeply.

And someone whose story was only beginning.

Jeon Jungkook was never a genius, a top student, or an ambitious businessman.

He was simply an ordinary graduate who enjoyed life at his own pace.

His family often complained that he lacked direction. While his siblings planned careers and futures, Jungkook preferred spending time with friends, trying new hobbies, and making memories.

Love had entered his life many times before.

His first crush happened when he was in tenth grade. He fell for a senior at school. It was innocent and short-lived—the kind of crush that makes your heart race whenever you see someone in the hallway.

As he grew older, he experienced his first real heartbreak.

There was a girl who worked at a café he visited regularly. Jungkook found himself returning day after day just to see her smile. Eventually, they started dating.

For a while, he thought he had found something special.

Then he discovered she had been dishonest with him and was seeing someone else.

The betrayal shattered him.

It took months before he could fully move on.

Later, during his first semester at university, he fell in love again.

This relationship felt different—more mature, deeper, and more meaningful.

The woman was older than him and worked as a professor. Despite knowing the complications, they dated for about a year.

They genuinely cared for each other.

But life had other plans.

Family circumstances forced her into an arranged marriage, and the relationship ended despite their feelings.

It was another painful goodbye that Jungkook carried quietly.

By his third year of university, however, his life changed in an unexpected way.

That was when Kim Taehyung entered his world.

Although they weren't in the same department or semester, they gradually became part of the same friend group.

The group consisted of eight close friends:

Kim Taehyung

Jeon Jungkook

Jennie

Nana

Anna

Enwoo

Woozie

Another close friend who often completed the group

Despite their different schedules and academic backgrounds, they became inseparable.

Their favorite meeting place was a small café called Toy Train Café.

Almost every day, someone from the group would suggest meeting there. Soon it became their second home—a place filled with laughter, arguments, celebrations, and countless memories.

Among all of them, Jungkook was known as the social butterfly.

He could talk to anyone.

Whether someone was shy, nervous, new to the group, or feeling left out, Jungkook somehow found a way to make them comfortable.

His energy was impossible to ignore.

He was dramatic, expressive, and often the loudest person in the room.

His closest friend was Woozie.

The contrast between them was almost comical.

Woozie was quiet, reserved, and cat-like in his behavior, often preferring silence and observation.

Jungkook, meanwhile, was a walking storm of noise, emotions, and endless conversation.

Yet somehow they understood each other perfectly.

Most of their friends enjoyed drinking and smoking during gatherings.

Jungkook, however, rarely drank.

Whenever people pressured him, he always gave the same excuse:

"My alcohol tolerance is terrible. One glass and I'll embarrass myself."

His friends never knew whether he was joking or serious.

Despite his playful nature, Jungkook remained someone people trusted.

He listened without judgment, cared deeply about his friends, and was often the person everyone called during difficult moments.

Long before becoming Taehyung's husband, Jungkook had already become the heart of the friend group—the person who connected everyone together with his warmth, humor, and unwavering loyalty.

Before they became a couple, before marriage, and before anyone imagined them together, they were simply friends.

And it all started because of Woozie.

Back then, Woozie had a crush on Taehyung. Since Woozie and Jungkook were best friends, the three of them often ended up spending time together. Whether it was college, shopping malls, festivals, cafés, or random outings, people were used to seeing the trio together.

Their entire friend group practically lived at Toy Train Café.

Every afternoon, the place would fill with their laughter.

Some friends spent hours gossiping.

Some played games on their phones.

Others sang songs while someone strummed a guitar.

Jungkook somehow did all three.

He would play games, join every conversation, sing loudly, and still have enough energy left to annoy everyone around him.

Among the group, he was known for being dramatic.

While several friends smoked occasionally, Jungkook never really liked it.

Once, out of curiosity, he tried smoking.

The result was disastrous.

He coughed so badly that he became dizzy and nauseous.

When he got home, he dramatically called his father.

"Dad, I think I'm dying."

His father immediately panicked.

"What happened?!"

"I smoked one cigarette."

There was silence.

Then his siblings burst into laughter.

His father sighed.

"You're not dying, Jungkook. You're just stupid."

For months afterward, everyone teased him about his "near-death experience."

Taehyung laughed harder than anyone.

Without realizing it, Taehyung slowly began falling for Jungkook's childish personality.

Unlike many people who found him annoying, Taehyung found him adorable.

Jungkook was genuine.

He laughed without restraint, cared about everyone, and never pretended to be someone he wasn't.

Then came the wedding incident.

One day, the entire group decided to attend a wedding they hadn't actually been invited to.

According to Jungkook, the food looked too good to miss.

According to everyone else, he was simply shameless.

The group somehow blended into the crowd and enjoyed the celebration without anyone questioning them.

During the meal, Taehyung ended up sitting beside Jungkook.

Without thinking much about it, Jungkook kept bringing food to Taehyung's plate.

"Try this."

"This one's good."

"Eat more."

The others watched with amusement.

By the end of the evening, everyone had already started joking about them being a couple.

Neither of them took the teasing seriously.

At least not then.

The turning point came a few months later.

One evening at Toy Train Café, Taehyung drank more than usual.

By the time they left, he was clearly intoxicated.

The group looked at Jungkook.

"You take him home."

"Why me?"

"Because you're the responsible one."

Everyone immediately laughed at their own joke.

Still, Jungkook agreed.

He carefully helped Taehyung get home and made sure he reached his room safely.

Just as Jungkook was about to leave, Taehyung suddenly grabbed his wrist.

Before Jungkook could react, Taehyung kissed him.

For a few seconds, neither of them moved.

Then Jungkook left in complete shock.

After that night, he disappeared.

He stopped visiting Toy Train Café.

He ignored messages.

He avoided Taehyung entirely.

The friend group was confused.

Taehyung was miserable.

Around that same time, Jungkook attended a music concert with some friends.

Several girls tried flirting with him throughout the event.

But Jungkook, despite being friendly, became awkward and shy whenever the attention turned romantic.

His friends teased him endlessly.

Yet his thoughts kept drifting back to one person.

Taehyung.

Days later, Jungkook finally returned to the café.

The atmosphere became awkward immediately.

Everyone noticed.

Neither Taehyung nor Jungkook could look at each other properly.

Eventually, their friends got tired of the tension.

"Enough."

"Talk to each other."

"Right now."

The two sat together in embarrassed silence.

For several minutes, nobody spoke.

Finally, Jungkook took a deep breath.

He decided to make the first move.

He apologized for disappearing and admitted he had been confused about his feelings.

Taehyung confessed that the kiss hadn't been a drunken mistake.

He genuinely liked Jungkook.

After a long conversation, the awkwardness slowly disappeared.

And before long, friendship turned into something much deeper.

What started with shared café visits, endless teasing, and countless ordinary days became the beginning of a love story neither of them had expected.
