Part 3

Weeks pass, and somehow, your relationship with Jungkook finds a perfect balance between the comfort of old friendship and the thrill of something new. The small, hidden moments feel surreal—his fingers brushing yours when no one’s looking, stolen glances during movie nights, and the way he’d wrap you in a quick, quiet hug before he leaves.

But tonight feels different. Jungkook invited you to the studio to hear his “secret project.” When you arrive, you find him lost in concentration, fingers gliding over the keyboard, his headphones askew.

He looks up as you enter, a big grin lighting up his face. “Hey! Just in time.”

“You look excited,” you say, smiling back. “So, what’s this secret project?”

Jungkook gestures to a chair next to him. “I wanted you to be the first to hear it.”

You sit down, heart racing as he hands you a set of headphones. There’s a pause as he looks at you, an almost vulnerable expression crossing his face. He presses play, and the music begins—soft and slow at first, with a beat that feels like the pulse of a heartbeat.

Then, his voice fills your ears.

“I waited for years, heart held in silence,
Kept it locked away, just waiting for you.
Thought it was stardust, a dream I’d let slip,
But now you’re here, and it all feels brand new.”

His voice melts through you, each word touching a hidden corner of your heart. The song is intimate, raw, capturing moments you hadn’t realized he noticed—shared glances, quiet laughter, a touch that lingered just a little longer.

When the song ends, you pull off the headphones, your heart racing. You find him staring at you, a little nervous but still smiling.

“It’s… it’s beautiful, Jungkook,” you say, unable to find words big enough to describe how you feel.

“Do you know why I wrote it?” he asks, a quiet hope in his eyes.

You shake your head, breath caught in your throat.

He takes your hand, squeezing gently. “Because of you. Because every moment we’ve shared has been like… stardust. Special, fleeting, and unforgettable.”

You’re not sure who leans in first, but suddenly, his lips are on yours, soft and warm, capturing the unspoken feelings of every moment you’ve shared. The world seems to fall away, leaving only you, Jungkook, and the echo of his song still ringing in your ears.

The days after the studio feel like a dream. You and Jungkook ease into this new chapter of your relationship, but with him being a global superstar, your quiet moments feel even more precious. When he’s not busy with rehearsals or interviews, he’s by your side, and you can tell he’s doing everything he can to make you feel special.

One evening, you’re at his apartment, curled up on the couch. Jungkook is busy in the kitchen, attempting to cook ramen for both of you, even though you’re pretty sure he’s already burned the noodles once.

“Are you sure you don’t need help in there?” you call, teasing him.

He pokes his head out, his face dusted with flour (somehow, you’re not even sure how that happened with ramen), and gives you a mischievous smile. “I’m a chef in training; I’ve got this!”

You laugh, knowing this “chef” has already asked where the salt was at least three times.

Eventually, he comes out holding two bowls with a proud grin. “Voila! A Jungkook special.”

You try a bite, pretending to consider the taste. “Mmm, not bad, Chef Jeon. Just the right amount of salt… after the fifth try.”

He laughs, grabbing a chopstick and gently poking your cheek. “Hey, be nice!”

You both fall into easy conversation, talking about everything from childhood memories to random dreams for the future. At one point, he pauses, looking a little serious.

“What’s on your mind?” you ask softly, sensing he’s holding something back.

He puts down his bowl, hesitating. “I’ve been thinking about us… and how it’s getting harder to keep things private. I hate the thought of anyone making you uncomfortable or judging you because of my career.”

Your heart skips a beat. You hadn’t realized he was worrying about this.

“Jungkook, I knew what I was getting into when we started this,” you assure him, reaching for his hand. “I don’t care what people say. I just want to be here for you, no matter what.”

He smiles, his eyes filled with relief and warmth. “You’re amazing, you know that?”

He reaches over, pulling you into a gentle hug, his arms wrapping around you securely. The world feels small in that moment, like it’s just you and him, free from everything outside.

When he pulls back, there’s a sparkle in his eye. “How about we make a little pact?” he asks, leaning in close. “No matter how crazy things get, we’ll always make time for each other. Even if it’s just for a ramen dinner.”

You laugh, nodding. “Deal, Chef Jeon.”

As the evening fades into night, you both sit there in quiet comfort, knowing this is just the beginning of something beautiful—a promise between you and Jungkook, bound by laughter, ramen, and a little stardust.
