Wedding ritual and kookies desperation to meet tae

The Common Royal Farmhouse

Early Morning

Golden sunlight filters through marigold garlands. The air hums with chants and the scent of fresh flowers. Both the Jeon and Kim families are preparing for the Rudrabhishek — a traditional blessing before the wedding.

Drums beat softly outside. Inside, the walls breathe laughter, turmeric, and excitement.

Jin: (smiling, arranging offerings) Namjoon, make sure.... Saare pandit ji ke sthan (seats) taiyaar (ready) hai.... Hum brahmin pandito ko thoda sa bhi wait nhi krwa skte.... Aur puja ka sthan bhi ache se ready krwado.... Mujhe vha shivling aur  mata parvati aur bhagwaan shivji ki bhi bhi murti ganesh ji ke sath rkhwani hai.... Kisi ko koi kashat ya takleef nhi hona chahiye.....

Nam: (checking his watch) chill.... Calm down.... Sb hogya hai.... Everything is ready on time jagiya. Except  our son.

Jimin: (teasing, holding a tray of diyas) Which one? The groom or the troublemaker pretending he’s not missing his fiancée every five seconds?

Suga: (smirks) Both are same person, Minnie. Jungkook’s been staring at the corridor where Taehyung walked an hour ago. He’s hopeless.

Jin: (laughs softly) Poor boy. But rituals are rituals. They can’t meet until the wedding.

Jungkook’s Room.

He’s pacing near the window, wearing a soft cream kurta, sleeves rolled, hair slightly messy. Outside, he can hear faint laughter — Tae’s laughter. It’s like honey dripping through his veins.

Jungkook: (to himself, low voice) How do they expect me to survive without seeing her face for two whole days? She’s right there, somewhere, looking too beautiful for peace.

(He touches the engagement ring on his finger — the same one she kissed the night before after the sangeet.)

Bogam: (enters with a smirk) tujhe dekh kr lg rha jaise kisi  sher ko pinjare (cage) mei bnd krdiya ho.....

Jungkook: (sighs) sher nhi bhukha sher....

Bogam: (laughing) I brought coffee, not Tae. Don’t look at me like that.

Jungkook: You’re supposed to be my best friend. Help me, not tease me.

Bogam: Help you do what? Taki tu bhabhi ke pass chla jaaye.... Pgl hai kya....?? Jimin di ya suga jiju ko pta chla na.... Toh maar dalenge  tujhe  aur mujhe toh underground hi krdenge....

Jungkook: (grins darkly) Worth it.

Bogam: (shakes his head) Obsessed much?

Jungkook: arey toh mai kya kru..... She’s mine, . And I can’t even see her. It’s torture.

Bride’s Room.

Tae sits near the window, her hands decorated with dried mehndi that glows against her skin. Her golden dupatta drapes lightly over her hair. She’s surrounded by Lisa and Jimin.

Lisa: (giggling) You’re glowing, Taetae. I swear, if bhai sees you right now, he’ll faint right here....

Tae: (smiles, biting her lip) Don’t tease. I already miss him. It’s strange, isn’t it? He’s just across the hall, but it feels like miles.

Jimin: (grinning) That’s the power of rituals. Its like aganipariksha taken before wedding.... Voh kahate hai na.... Pyaar mei jitna dur rho utna zyada pyaar badhata hai.... Aur jb dono dur rhoge.... Tb dono abhi tadap rhe ho ekdusre se milne keliye fir jb kl dono ekdusre se mandap mei miloge.... Tb jo khushi hogi dono ko..... Voh dekhne layak hoga....

Tae: (blushes) bhabhi..... Kya aap bhi.....

Jimin: (winks) Don’t pretend. Tujhe pta hai na tujhse zyada bura haal abhi uska horha hai.... Mujhe toh drr hai kahi voh ldka tujhse milne keliye koi khurafati plan na bna rha ho.....

Lisa: di aapko doubt hai.... I'm damn sure.... Bhai ne abtk bogam bhaiya ko bribe krke plan bna liya hoga aur ab voh plan execute krrhe honge....

Tae: (chuckles softly) I hope not. Agr aisa hua toh voh bhai se bhut daant khayega....

Suga: (enters suddenly) Oh, he will get caught. Because I’m personally guarding the hallway.

Jimin: (playfully pats his chest) My hero.

Suga: (smiles at her) Always.

(He leans in, presses a soft kiss on Jimin’s forehead. Taehyung watches, her eyes turning dreamy.)

Tae: You both are the reason kookie believes in love, you know.

Suga: (laughs) And you’re the reason he’s lost his sanity.

MONTAGE: Preparations around the mansion.

Priests chanting. Flowers being arranged. Laughter echoing. The smell of rosewater fills the air.

But somewhere between corridors and rituals — a boy in love plots rebellion.

Jungkook sneaking through the side garden.

He’s barefoot, moving quietly, clutching a tray of sweets as a cover. Bogam follows him, whispering nervously.

Bogam: This is suicide. Literal suicide.

Jungkook: (grinning) Not if we don’t get caught.

Bogam: (muttering) Says the guy whose sister is behaving literally like an undercover detective.

(They reach the inner corridor that connects both wings — the forbidden line between bride and groom.)

Jungkook: (whispers) There she is.

Through the carved wooden panels, he spots Tae, laughing with Lisa. The light hits her face like a prayer. Her dupatta slips from her shoulder, and kookie’s throat dries.

Jungkook: (murmurs) My goddess.

Bogam: (rolls eyes) And here we go again.

Jungkook: I’m going in.

Bogam: No.

Jungkook: Yes.

Bogam: NO.

Jungkook: Watch me.

(He slips past, barefoot and stealthy. The scent of rose and sandalwood mixes with his cologne. The moment Tae turns, their eyes lock.)

Tae: (gasps softly) kookie… tum yha.... Tum yha kya krrhe ho....?? (Scared) agr kisi ne hmei aise sath mei dekh liya toh....?? (Panicked) tum jao yha se....

Jungkook: (steps closer, voice husky) I know. But how could I stay away when you look like this? And I don't care.... I just need you.... I want you my love....

(He reaches out, brushing his thumb against her mehndi-stained fingers. She shivers.)

Tae: koi dekhlega....

Jungkook: Let them. I’ll tell them I came to see my reason for breathing.

Tae: (whispers) kookie, stop saying things like that. It makes my heart ache.

Jungkook: Then ache with me. One last time before we become one.

(He leans closer, breath ghosting over her cheek. She closes her eyes — just as— and he kissed her lips softly and gently and was about to begin with deep passionate liplock)

Suga: (from behind) JEON. JUNG. KOOK. Tum nhi sudhroge na.....

(Both freeze. Suga stands with arms crossed, Jimin beside him holding a bowl of flowers.)

Jimin: maine kaha tha.... Yeh ldka chupke se yha aayega.... Dekho..... Maine mana kiya tha na shadi ke pehle dono nhi miloge.... Fir kyu aaye....??

Jungkook: (scratches neck awkwardly) jiju... Jiminaah.... Aaj aap dono kitne pyaare.... Kitne sunder lgrhe ho.... So beautiful so elegant.... Just looking like a wow.... Haaye kisi ki nazar na lge.....

Suga: oye babu ki jaan.... Zyada maska mt lgao..... Tum toh aaj peetoge mujhse.... Itna mana krne ke baad bhi tu idhr aagya....

Tae: (pouts) bhai, please don’t scold him—

Suga: Oh, I’m not scolding him. I’m sending him back. Now.... Chl vaps.... Aur dubara meri behan ke aas pass bhi aaj dikha na taange tod dunga teri mai....

Jungkook: jiju, come on, just five minutes

Jimin: (grinning) Make it zero. Tujhe pta bhi hai agr mom dad ne dono ko abhi sath dekhliya na.... Toh tere sath hmei bhi daant pdegi.... Chl.... Jaao apne room mei....

Suga: (points at Bogam hiding behind a pillar) aur tu.... You're grounded.....

Bogam: (groans) I was forced!

(Jimin bursts into laughter. Tae giggles, covering her mouth.)

Jimin: You both are such kids.

Tae: (smiling) Kids in love.

Jungkook: (softly, eyes on Tae) Kids who can’t wait to grow old together.

(There’s silence. Everyone smiles a little — even Suga.)

Suga: (sighs, softens) Fine. One minute. Then out.

(Jimin elbows him affectionately.)

Jimin: You’re too soft for him.

Suga: (mutters) arey aakhir voh mera bhi chhota bhai hai... Toh thoda pighal jata ho

Tae: (grinning) I’ll apply some ubatan on your hand tomorrow first, you know.

Jungkook: (smirks) Only if I get to wash it off myself.

Jimin: (mock horror) Stop! Ritual purity! Children around!

Suga: (dry) There are no children, Jimin.

Jimin: Still! This is a family event, not your dark romance novel!

(Everyone bursts out laughing. kookie leans in, whispers near Tae’s ear.)

Jungkook: You smell like marigolds and danger. I can’t wait for tomorrow.

Tae: (smiles shyly) Then wait. Because I’ll make you fall for me all over again.

Jungkook: Impossible. I already have.

Later that afternoon.

Everyone is busy with Rudrabhishek. The air hums with the sound of bells and holy chants. Incense smoke swirls like slow music.

Nam: (offering flowers) bhagwaan inki jodi shiv parvati ke tarah amar rkhe

Jhope: (smiling) hmare 4ro bchche hmesha aise hi ek sath hmesha khush rhe....

(Laughter breaks out. Jimin leans against Suga’s shoulder, whispering softly.)

Jimin: I love days like this. Everyone smiling, hearts full.

Suga: (kissing her hair) Because love’s in the air, and you’re the reason.

(Tae watches them fondly, while kookie from across the courtyard catches her gaze. Their eyes meet — devotion, madness, and eternity intertwine.)

Tae: (whispers, under her breath) Tomorrow. Just one more sunrise.

Jungkook: (mouthing back) One more night apart. Then forever.

(The priest calls their names to bless the sacred water. They bow their heads separately, but their souls are already kneeling together.)

EVENING — Courtyard Lights Flicker On.

Everyone gathers for a small pre-wedding dinner. The air smells of jasmine and laughter. Lisa teases Bogam, Jimin keeps feeding Suga sweets, Nam cracks dad jokes, Jin giggles like a newlywed.

But amidst the noise — kookie sneaks one last look at Tae across the fairy-lit lawn. She smiles, slow and secret.

Jungkook: (to himself) Tomorrow, my love. Under these same stars, you’ll be mine in every way.

Tae: (to herself) Tomorrow, under these lights, I’ll walk toward you. And never look back.

(Their eyes meet — as fireworks from the nearby temple celebration explode in the night sky, scattering gold across both of them.)

Yoonmin (standing nearby, hand in hand)

jimin-: They’re something, huh?

Suga: (smiles faintly) Yeah. A little mad. A lot in love.

Jimin: Just like us.

(They kiss softly, laughter around them blending with temple bells and love songs carried by the wind.)

The night ends in giggles, rituals, and stolen glances — love restrained yet overflowing, a final calm before the wedding storm.

Tomorrow, the heavens will witness Taekook’s forever.
