love love love

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.
