"The Marriage We Chose" ~TK

We didn't fall in love before marriage. We simply chose to give each other a chance—and somewhere between those little moments, we found forever.

The sound of music filled Jungkook's dance room.

Jungkook stood in front of the large mirror, moving with the beat.

His body followed every movement naturally. He had been practicing the same routine for almost an hour, but he still wasn't satisfied.

He stopped the music and looked at himself in the mirror.

"Again."

He played the song from the beginning.

This time, he focused more on his footwork and timing. His hair was already messy from all the practice, and there was a little sweat on his forehead, but he didn't care.

Dancing was something he truly loved.

He could spend hours inside this room without realizing how much time had passed.

Just as the song ended, someone knocked on the door.

He recognized the voice immediately.

The door opened, and Jimin walked inside.

He looked at his son and sighed.

Jimin smiled and walked out.

Jungkook turned off the music, grabbed a towel, and wiped his face then fresh himselfself up before leaving the room.

.

.

The dining table was already set when Jungkook came downstairs. Yoongi was sitting at one side of the table, reading something on his phone.

Jimin was putting food on the plates. Jungkook sat down.

Jungkook nodded.

Jimin placed some food on Jungkook's plate.

Yoongi finally looked up from his phone.

Jungkook started eating.

For a few minutes, the only sound around the table was their conversation and the plates.

It was a normal family lunch. Nothing special.

.

.

That evening, the Jeon family got ready to go to the Kim family's house for dinner.

The two families had known each other for years, so visiting each other's homes wasn't unusual.

Jungkook sat in the back seat with Jiho.

Jiho had returned from college a while ago and was already complaining about how tired he was.

Jungkook looked at him.

Jungkook laughed.

Their parents glanced at them from the front.

Jungkook covered his mouth to stop himself from laughing.

.

.

When they reached the Kim family's house, Namjoon and Jin welcomed them inside.

Jin hugged Jimin before greeting everyone else.

Jungkook looked around the house, as if his eyes were searching for someone.

Jungkook laughed quietly.

They both sat together on the sofa while their parents talked.

Time passed. Thirty minutes. Then another thirty minutes.

Jungkook was starting to get bored. He leaned closer to Jiho.

Jiho looked at him seriously.

They both stood up. Jimin immediately looked at them.

Jiho sat back down.

Jungkook started laughing.

Just then, the front door opened.

Everyone turned toward it.

Taehyung walked inside. He was still wearing his office clothes. His tie was slightly loose, and he looked tired after a long day at work.

He stopped when he saw everyone.

Taehyung nodded.

But before he could walk away, he noticed Jungkook sitting on the sofa.

A small smile appeared on his face.

Taehyung laughed again before going upstairs.

.

.

After some time, Taehyung came back downstairs in a simple T-shirt and comfortable pants.

Dinner was served soon after everyone sat around the dining table.

The conversation was normal. Namjoon talked about work. Yoongi talked about his office.

Jimin and Jin discussed some family matters.

And in between our Jiho was trying to quietly stole food from Jungkook's plate.

but

Jungkook noticed.

Taehyung laughed from across the table.

Jungkook glared at him.

Jungkook sighed. Some things really never changed.

.

.

.

After dinner, everyone moved to the living room. Jungkook sat beside Jiho while Taehyung took a seat on the sofa across from them.

At first, everything seemed normal, but Jungkook soon noticed that Yoongi, Namjoon, Jimin, and Jin were exchanging looks.

He frowned slightly.

Yoongi cleared his throat and looked at Namjoon before turning toward the boys.

Jungkook straightened a little.

Jiho also stopped playing with his phone and looked up.

Namjoon took a breath before speaking.

Taehyung listened quietly.

The room became quiet.

Jungkook looked at Taehyung, and Taehyung looked back at him. Neither of them knew what to say at first.

Jimin nodded.

Jungkook looked down at his hands.

He had never thought about marrying Taehyung. They had known each other for years, but their relationship had always been simple. They were family friends who had grown up around each other.

Still, Taehyung wasn't a stranger.

He knew his family. He knew his nature. And most importantly, Jungkook knew that his parents wouldn't force him into something he didn't want.

Taehyung seemed to be thinking about the same thing.

After a moment, he looked at Jungkook.

.

.

Taehyung and Jungkook went in other room.

Taehyung folded his arms and looked at Jungkook.

They stood quietly for a moment.

Jungkook nodded.

Jungkook thought for a moment before speaking again.

Taehyung looked at him thoughtfully.

Taehyung nodded.

Jungkook understood immediately.

Jungkook nodded.

Jungkook smiled slightly.

both smiled at each other because they both were calling reach other by their childhood name

They shook hands, both knowing that the next seven days would be different from anything they had experienced together before.

They weren't in love.

They weren't pretending to be.

They were simply two people who had been given a chance to decide whether a marriage could become something more.

And for now, that was enough.

.

.

After some time, Taehyung and Jungkook came back inside from the garden.

Everyone looked at them, waiting for an answer.

Jungkook sat beside Jimin while Taehyung took his seat.

Everyone laughed, and the conversation slowly returned to normal. They talked for a little while longer before the Jeon family decided to leave.

Jimin hugged Jin goodbye, while Yoongi and Namjoon talked near the door.

After saying goodbye to everyone, Jungkook followed his family outside.

Jungkook gave Taehyung a small smile and said bye by mouthing before getting into the car.

Soon, the Jeon family left for home, leaving Taehyung and his family behind.

The decision was still waiting for them.

But for now, they had time.

.

.

.

.

In Jeon House....

It was late at night, and everyone was getting ready to sleep.

As usual, Jungkook was in his dance room, practicing before going to bed. It had become a part of his daily routine.

After a while, Jimin and Yoongi came to the doorway.

Jungkook stopped the music and looked at them.

They smiled at him before leaving.

.

.

On other side

In Kim's House

At the same time, Taehyung was sitting on his bed with his laptop open, finishing some pending office work.

There was a knock on the door.

Namjoon and Jin entered.

His parents left the room, and Taehyung looked at his laptop again.

But for some reason, his mind wasn't on work anymore.

but on someone's smile...

He turned to the other side and pulled the blanket over his face.

A quiet voice answered inside his mind.

His eyes slowly turned red before returning to their normal color.

The next morning, after breakfast, Taehyung was getting ready for work. He was about to leave when he

Suddenly remembered something.

He stopped near the door and thought for a moment.

He immediately imagined Jin teasing him.

Taehyung smiled to himself.

He quietly walked toward Jin's room and noticed his phone lying on the table.

A small smile appeared on Taehyung's face.

Taehyung picked up the phone and quickly opened the contacts.

Just as he started searching for Jungkook's name—

Taehyung froze. He slowly turned around.

Jin was standing at the door with his arms crossed.

He pouted.

He gave Jin a quick hug before leaving.

Namjoon laughed.

Afternoon

Taehyung was sitting alone in the office canteen during his lunch break.

His food was in front of him, but he wasn't really eating.

His phone was in his hand. He had already opened Jungkook's chat several times.

Then closed it.

Opened it again.

Closed it again.

Taehyung took a deep breath and typed.

He stared at it.

He deleted it.

He tried again.

He stared at the message for a few seconds.

He deleted it again.

Finally, he typed:

He looked at it one last time.

He pressed send before he could change his mind.

Then he waited.

Five minutes.

Ten minutes.

Twenty minutes.

Nothing.

Taehyung checked his phone again.

Still nothing.

He slowly put it down.

A few seconds later

He picked up his phone again. Still no reply.

Meanwhile, Jungkook was in his dance studio.

He had finished teaching his morning batch and was now practicing a routine for his next class.

His phone was inside his bag, completely forgotten.

After almost an hour, Jungkook finally took a break and reached for his phone.

He noticed the message.

He looked at himself in the mirror. His cheeks became slightly pink.

He shook his head and quickly looked away.

before getting ready, he went to his dance room for a few minutes because he still had some time.

He played one of his favorite songs and started dancing.

But today, his mind wasn't completely focused on the dance.

Every few seconds, he found himself smiling.

He imagined Taehyung waiting for him.

Then he laughed at himself.

But he couldn't stop smiling.

Later, he got ready for he first ever date.

Taehyung, meanwhile, came home earlier than usual.

He quickly went to his room, changed his clothes and fixed his hair.

He was halfway through choosing between two shirts when Jin entered.

Just something he thought Jungkook might like.

Then he drove toward Jungkook's house and waited nearby.

At the Jeon house.

Jungkook decided to tell his, parents that he was going out with a friend and might come home late.

Jungkook laughed, and then he got message from Taehyung.
