The tension had been unbearable for weeks, suffocating Jungkook like a noose tightening around his neck. Every time he saw you with Taehyung, it chipped away at the last remnants of his sanity. He had no idea what to do. He had been the one to start this, he had been the one to remind about how this wasn't exclusive hoping you'd put up a fight instead of making it clear he wanted you, but now that you were slipping away—truly —it felt like he was slowly losing his mind.

Tonight was a business party, an event that required both of you to attend together. It was the first time in weeks that you were standing by his side, close enough that he could feel your warmth. Yet, it meant nothing. He knew it was all for show. The perfect image of a married couple that the world expected to see. It was a role you played flawlessly, your smile bright, your interactions seamless. But Jungkook could see through it. He saw the distance in your eyes, the way you barely acknowledged his presence beyond what was necessary.
