Chapter 2:The One I Brought To Life

Jungkook didn’t sleep that night.

He sat stiffly on the edge of his bed, eyes locked on the stranger who occupied his tiny living room like he belonged there. The man—Taehyung, he had learned—stood near the window, staring out at the city lights with open fascination.

“So,” Taehyung said slowly, turning around. “This world… it’s yours?”

Jungkook flinched. “…No. I just live here.”

Taehyung hummed, clearly amused. “Then you’re my creator, but not a god.”

“That’s not funny,” Jungkook muttered, running a hand through his hair. His heart was still racing, his mind screaming that none of this was real.

Taehyung stepped closer, movements careful, like he was testing the rules of existence. “But I am real, right?”

Jungkook swallowed. “You shouldn’t be.”

Silence fell again, heavier this time.

“…What am I supposed to do?” Jungkook asked quietly.

Taehyung studied him, dark eyes unreadable. “You tell me. I woke up here with nothing—no past, no memories. Just you.”

The words settled deep in Jungkook’s chest.

“I didn’t mean to draw you,” he admitted. “You were just… a character.”

Taehyung smiled faintly. “Yet here I am.”

Something about that smile made Jungkook uneasy. Not fear—something warmer. Something dangerous.

“You can stay here for now,” Jungkook said after a long pause. “Until we figure this out.”

Taehyung’s gaze softened, just a little. “Then I’ll stay,” he replied. “As long as you let me.”

Jungkook didn’t miss the way Taehyung stepped closer than necessary, or how his presence suddenly filled the room.

As Jungkook turned away, his tablet screen flickered once—just once—before going dark.

Neither of them noticed.

(A/N:This is my first short story, a short one only, and it's my own work, I didn't copy it from others, I just let chatgpt correct some of my grammatical errors. It's already edited, I have thought about publishing from a long time, but I always forgot about it😅. It has been in my drafts from a long time, my best friend also help me make this story. It's quite angst story, but not much, since I also don't like angst that much. And also again, I didn't copy this from others, it's really my own imaginations, I've been wanting to create this story from my mind from a long time, since I got busy in school I forgot to upload it here. So I hope you'll like this story😊)
