"In the Shadows of Fame"

Jungkook was utilized to the lights, the cameras, and the steady love from fans. He lived for the surge of performing, yet behind the veneer of flawlessness, he was looking for something else. He frequently contemplated whether anybody might at any point genuinely know him — the genuine him, past the symbol picture.

Taehyung was unique. He generally had been. He had an approach to seeing through the deliberate misdirection that encompassed Jungkook. Perhaps it was the manner in which his profound, heartfelt eyes waited on Jungkook when no other person was looking. Or on the other hand maybe it was the delicate way Taehyung's voice appeared to calm each secret tempest inside Jungkook's heart. One way or another, Jungkook was attracted to him like gravity.

Their bond had forever been exceptional, yet Jungkook never envisioned it could transform into something else. Until one evening.

It was after one more sold-out show, where the cheers of the fans actually reverberated in their ears. The individuals were celebrating, however Jungkook's considerations were far away. As he remained solitary on the gallery of their lodging, gazing at the city lights underneath, he felt a natural presence close to him.

"Hello," Taehyung's voice was delicate, practically reluctant, as though he realized Jungkook required the calm.

"Hello," Jungkook answered, turning his head to meet Taehyung's look.

They remained there in agreeable quiet, simply watching the city underneath, feeling the cool wind fold over them. Taehyung moved nearer, their shoulders brushing. The straightforward touch sent warmth spiraling through Jungkook's chest.

"You appear to be daydreaming," Taehyung said unobtrusively, his voice conveying a delicate concern.

"I just… in some cases I keep thinking about whether this is everything that matters," Jungkook conceded, astonishing even himself with his genuineness. "We have everything, except… I feel like I'm actually looking for something."

Taehyung went completely to confront him, his eyes loaded up with understanding. "I know the inclination," he mumbled. "We're encircled by individuals constantly, however at times it feels… desolate, right?"

Jungkook gestured, his throat tight with implicit feelings. He hadn't understood exactly the amount he expected to hear that another person felt something similar.

Taehyung connected, his hand viewing as Jungkook's. It was a little motion, however it sent power through Jungkook's whole body. "You're in good company, Jungkook," Taehyung murmured, his thumb brushing delicately over the rear of Jungkook's hand. "I'm here. I've forever been here."

Jungkook's breath hitched. In the delicate gleam of the city lights, Taehyung's face looked more gorgeous than any time in recent memory, his demeanor true and loaded with something Jungkook hadn't permitted himself to expect — love.

"Tae… " Jungkook started, his voice shaking marginally. However, Taehyung didn't allow him to wrap up.

Before Jungkook could overthink it, Taehyung delicately pulled him closer, shutting the little distance between them. Their temples contacted, and Jungkook could feel Taehyung's breath against his lips, warm and welcoming.

"I've been infatuated with you for such a long time," Taehyung admitted, his voice scarcely over a murmur. "In any case, I would have rather not uttered a word since I would have rather not lost you."

Jungkook's heart beat in his chest. He could feel his reality moving, similar to all that he'd been looking for was standing directly before him. Without another word, he shut the distance between them, squeezing his lips to Taehyung's in a delicate, delicate kiss.

At that time, all the other things disappeared — the popularity, the assumptions, the steady strain. It was only both of them, enveloped by a peaceful love that had forever been there, ready to be recognized.

At the point when they at long last pulled away, Taehyung's eyes shimmered with a blend of help and delight. Jungkook grinned, his heart lighter than it had been in years.

"I love you as well, Tae," Jungkook murmured. "I assume I generally have."

From that evening on, everything changed between them. Their bond developed further, their affection blooming in the spaces between their bustling timetables and the glimmering cameras. In the shadows of their fame, they tracked down something genuine — one another.

What's more, in one another, they at last found the affection they had forever been looking for.
