Episode 3

[🌃 Night | After Concert | Snow begins to fall]

(Cold wind. Snowflakes slowly falling.)

(Crowd dispersing… noise fading… everything feels quieter now.)

---

(Jungkook sits alone in his wheelchair… phone screen cracked, flickering.)

🐰 Jungkook (frustrated, tapping phone):

No… no, not now—

(screen goes black)

(He exhales shakily… shoulders droop)

---

🐰 Jungkook (muttering, tired):

Jimin… I can’t even call you now…

(looks around—people leaving in groups… laughter… warmth…)

(He’s alone.)

---

(Snow starts falling heavier)

(Jungkook looks up… snow landing on his face)

(eyes slowly close… exhaustion hitting him)

---

🐰 Jungkook (voice breaking, whisper):

…today really isn’t my day…

(his hands tremble slightly from cold)

(He grips the wheel… tries to move)

---

(Wheel gets stuck slightly on uneven ground)

(He tries again—harder this time)

(fails)

---

(Breathing gets uneven… frustration + helplessness rising)

---

🐰 Jungkook (angry tears forming):

Why… why is everything so hard…

(his voice cracks completely now)

---

(He stops moving)

(just sits there… in the snow… tears mixing with melting flakes)

---

🐰 Jungkook (soft, broken):

…at least I heard him…

(small smile through tears)

---

(Footsteps approach quietly behind him)

(He doesn’t notice at first)

---

(A shadow falls over him… snow stops hitting his face)

---

(Jungkook slowly opens his eyes… confused)

(He looks up…)

---

(An umbrella above him.)

---

(He follows the hand holding it… then freezes.)

---

🐰 Jungkook (eyes widen, breath caught):

…

(his lips part slightly… no words coming out)

---

(Standing there… calm, quiet…)

🐻 Kim Taehyung

(face slightly tired… but eyes gentle)

---

🐻 Taehyung (soft voice, almost careful):

You’ll catch a cold.

---

(Jungkook just stares… completely frozen)

(his brain not processing reality)

---

🐰 Jungkook (stuttering, panicking slightly):

I— I— I—

(his eyes start tearing up again)

---

🐰 Jungkook (voice shaking, overwhelmed):

I’m… I’m your fan…

(tears spill instantly)

---

(Taehyung watches him quietly—no judgment, just calm attention)

---

(He adjusts the umbrella slightly… making sure Jungkook is fully covered)

---

🐻 Taehyung (gently):

You shouldn’t stay out this long.

---

(He reaches into his pocket… takes out a heat pack)

(holds it out)

---

🐻 Taehyung:

Here.

---

(Jungkook looks at it… then at him… hands trembling as he accepts it)

---

🐰 Jungkook (voice soft, emotional, almost breathless):

…thank you…

(he clutches the heat pack like it’s something precious)

---

(He suddenly bows slightly—awkward in sitting position)

---

🐰 Jungkook (words rushing out, emotional):

Your music… it helped me a lot…

(voice cracks again)

---

🐰 Jungkook:

Back then… when I… couldn’t—

(he stops… unable to continue)

---

(Taehyung’s expression subtly changes—he listens more carefully now)

---

(A small pause… snow falling around them quietly)

---

🐻 Taehyung (soft, sincere):

I’m glad.

---

(Jungkook looks at him—eyes full of emotions he can’t explain)

---

(For a moment… everything feels still)

(just the two of them… under one umbrella)

---

📱 Footsteps running closer

---

🚗 Jimin🐥 (breathing slightly fast):

Jungkook!

---

(Jungkook turns quickly)

---

🐰 Jungkook (relieved):

Jimin!

---

(Jimin notices Taehyung—eyes widen slightly, then bows politely)

---

🚗 Jimin🐥 (respectful):

Ah—hello…

---

(Taehyung nods slightly, calm as ever)

---

🐻 Taehyung (to Jungkook):

You should go home.

---

(He gently places the umbrella into Jungkook’s hand)

---

🐰 Jungkook (shocked):

But—what about you—

---

🐻 Taehyung (small faint smile):

I’ll be fine.

---

(Jungkook hesitates… then quickly grabs something from his bag)

---

🐰 Jungkook (nervous, shy):

This—this is for you!

(hands him a small fan-made gift)

---

(Taehyung takes it… slightly surprised)

---

🐻 Taehyung (quiet):

…thank you.

---

(They looked at each other one last time)

(unspoken feelings… unfamiliar but warm)

---

(Taehyung turns and walks away into the snow)

---

(Jungkook watches him go… eyes soft, emotional)

---

🐰 Jungkook (whispers to himself):

…he’s real…
