FLASHBACK

Then bottle spun again. This time it landed on Jungkook.

Tae-: truth or dare

Jungkook-: dare....

Suga suddenly grinned devilishly.

Suga-: please isko dare mai dunga....kyuki tum dono ek dusre ke sath bchcho wala truth and dare khel rhe ho.....

Tae-: sure bhaiya....

Suga leaned back dramatically.

Suga-: ok so as we know.... Tum 2no jamane se single ho.... Right.... Mtlb we're together since 2 years.... Aur uske pehle hum dono ke celebrity crushes bhi reh chuke hai.... pr Tum dono ka toh voh bhi nhi tha.... Abhi mai mauka derha hoo tujhe... Chl tae ko propose krke dikha....

Jungkook's eyes widened.

Jungkook-: what.... Schchi....

Suga-: haa bhai kr.... Ab mujhe dekhna hai agr tu kisi ldki ko propose krega toh kaise krega?? Toh ek demo keliye hi shi... Tae ko propose kr...

Jungkook looked at Tae. Tae immediately panicked.

Tae-: pr bhaiya mai hi kyu??

Suga-: ab dekh... Yha tu hi hai... Yeh mujhe toh krega nhi aur jimin iski behn hai toh filhaal tujhe hi krskta hai.... bs dare hai.... Demo ke liye.... Nothing serious....

Tae awkwardly nodded.

Tae-: OK

But only Jungkook knew... For him this wasn't just a dare. This was real.....Very real....Slowly...Jungkook sat on one knee before Tae. The atmosphere suddenly changed. Even air felt different.....Then softly...He started singing. His voice was warm, emotional and filled with hidden love....."Baby I love you..."
His eyes never left hers.... And unknowingly.....Every single word he spoke next carried his real feelings.
The way he described her smile....Her courage.....Her kindness....The way she protected everyone....The way she unknowingly became his comfort.
Everything was real.....
At the end...He softly whispered.

Jungkook-: I love you....

Tae completely froze. Her heartbeat went wild. Her cheeks turned bright red.
She looked so shy that even Yoonmin got emotional.

Jimin immediately held Suga's arm excitedly.

Jimin-: dono sath mei kitne cute lg rhe hai.... Thank you.... Aapne itna acha dare diya kookie ko.... I wish dono sch mei couple bnjaaye.... Tb kitna mzaa aayega meri bestie meri bhabhi bnjayegi aur hmesha sath rhegi.....

Suga smiled softly while watching Taekook.

Suga-: haa sch mei.... Dono sath mei bhut cute lgrhe hai.... Bilkul rabb ne bnadi jodi... Nazar na lge dono ko.... Sch mei kookie perfect ldka hai tae ke liye... Dono compatible bhi hai yeh maine notice kiya hai.... and I think.... Kookie tae ko like bhi krta hai... Issi vjh se maine usko yeh dare diya....

Jimin giggled.

Same Evening

The mansion had become quieter. Most people were busy. The sun was slowly setting.

Meanwhile...

Inside Suga's room...jungkook sat on the bed. Completely lost. His phone was in his hands. And on the screen...Tae's pictures.
One picture....Smile....Another picture....
Smile.....Another picture.....Even bigger smile....He looked completely whipped.

At that moment...

The door opened. Yoonmin entered.
The couple immediately noticed what he was doing. Jimin tried not to laugh. Suga smirked. Jungkook didn't notice. He was too busy staring lovingly at Tae's photos.

Suga finally spoke.

Suga-: tum meri behan se pyaar krte ho na....??

Jungkook jumped.

Jungkook-: huhh.... K-kya??

Suga-: you love tae....?? Dekho sach bolna....??

Jimin watched carefully.

Jimin-: agr nhi bole toh....

Suga folded his arms.

Suga-: aaj ke baad se mai tumko apni behan ke aas pass bhi bhatakne nhi dunga....

Immediately...

Jungkook's face fell. The thought alone hurt. Slowly...He lowered his head....And nodded....Yes.....He loved Tae....More than anything....

Yoonmin exchanged a happy glance. They already knew. But hearing it directly felt different. Because honestly... They couldn't imagine anyone better for Tae.

Jimin smiled softly.

Jimin-: mtlb abhi jo dare ke naam pr jo propose kiye the.... Jo bhi bole voh sb tumhari real feelings thi??

Jungkook's ears turned red.....Again...
He nodded....Jimin smiled proudly.

Jimin-: (looking at suga happily) see I told you.....

Jungkook sighed. Then suddenly pouted.

Jungkook-: (pouted) pr I guess... Tae doesn't like me....

Yoonmin looked confused.

Jimin-: aisa kyu bol rhe ho....??

Jungkook looked miserable.

Jungkook-: kyuki voh jaise room se gyi.... I'm scared kahi voh mujhse gussa toh nhi hogyi....

Jimin immediately smacked his shoulder.

Jimin-: dumbo.... Voh naraaz nhi hai.... She's just shy.... So chill....

Jungkook still looked unconvinced.

Jungkook-: (pouted) arey toh atleast reply toh de skti thi na.... Bina bole hi chali gyi....

Suga suddenly got an evil idea. The kind of idea that only elder brothers create.

Suga-: ek kaam kr....make her jealous.... Agr voh sach mei pyaar krti hogi then She'll be jealous.... Agr nhi krti hogi toh fir she won't be jealous....

Jungkook blinked.

Jungkook-: aayein.... Kaise....??

Yoonmin immediately sat beside him. And started explaining. Hang out with another girl. Talk with her. Laugh with her. Spend time together. And watch Tae's reaction.
Jungkook listened carefully. Then realized a problem.

Jungkook-: pr meri aaplog ke alawa kisi se baat nhi hoti... Toh ab ldki kaha se lau??

Jimin immediately snapped her fingers.

Jimin-: lisa....?? Voh jo teri school wali behan hai.... She's your classmate also.... Right??

Jungkook looked horrified.

Jungkook-: arey pr she's my sister.... How can I make my sister as my fake girlfriend....?? And she already love eunwo.... She won't be ready....

Jimin rolled her eyes.

Jimin-: arey bs acting krni hai.... Dekho kisi random ldki ke sath kroge toh kya pta voh ldki sch mei tere peeche pd jaaye.... Pr lisa toh teri behan hai.... So you're safe....

Jungkook thought.....Then nodded....

Jungkook-: ok... Pehle usse baat krne do....

He immediately called Lisa.... Coincidentally...Lisa was already hanging out with Eunwo. After listening to the entire story...Both burst out laughing.

Lisa-: You're unbelievable.

Eunwo-: This is the dumbest plan ever.

Jungkook-: Thank you.

But eventually...They agreed..... Then suddenly...Jungkook remembered Tae's anger. His confidence disappeared.

Jungkook-: guys.... Thoda sa bs jealous kreinge.... Agr zyada kreinge toh voh mujhe gusse mei kachcha kha jayegi....

Everyone laughed.

Jimin-: look.... Jeon jungkook is scared from tae....

Jungkook looked offended.

Jungkook-: arey tumlog ko nhi pta.... Voh bhut dangerous hai.... Toh darr toh lgega na....

They laughed even harder.

And thus...

OPERATION JEALOUS TAE.... Officially began.....

The Next Two Months

Poor Jungkook.....Everywhere he went...
Lisa followed him....University cafeteria?
Together.....Library? Together.....
Campus? Together.....Lisa would feed him...
Hold his arm.....Hug him.....Sit beside him....
Laugh with him.....And every single time...
A certain Mafia Princess appeared..... Like a jealous storm.....

Tae-: kookie.

Jungkook-: Yes?

Tae-: Come with me.

Jungkook-: Why?

Tae-: Important work.

Five minutes later...

Lisa-: What work?

Tae-: None of your business.

Another day.

Lisa and Jungkook talking..... Suddenly...
Tae appears.

Tae-: kookie.....

Jungkook-: Hmm?

Tae-: Just come.

Lisa and Eunwo nearly died laughing every time.

Meanwhile...

Yoonmin enjoyed premium entertainment.

Jimin-: Look at her.

Suga-: She's glaring again.

Jimin-: Lisa is about to combust.

Suga-: My sister is impossible.

Two whole months passed. And Tae became more jealous every day.

Exams End

Finally...

Exams ended. Everyone returned home.
And Yoonmin decided...It was time for the final attack.

Inside a group call...

Suga-: see.... Tae also loves you.... We can see how jealous she's after watching you and lisa together....

Jimin nodded enthusiastically.

Jimin-: exactly.... Toh kl tum lisa ko lekr kisi kam se bahar chle jana.... Fir tae tumko video call kregi aur jb voh lisa ko dekhegi tb voh jal ke rakh hojayegi.....

Suga-: exactly...bs fir bs jb voh tumhare pass aayegi tb tum usko propose krdena....

Jungkook looked traumatized.

Jungkook-: and do you think uske pehle voh mujhe zinda chhodegi....?? aap sb mujhe marwaoge.....

Eunwo laughed.

Eunwo-: arey kuch nhi hoga....

Jungkook immediately protested.

Jungkook-: arey tumlog ko nhi pta.... Jb voh lisa ko mere sath dekhti hai toh mujhe aise ghoorti hai jaise abhi mujhe maardegi....

Eunwo shrugged.

Eunwo-: pr maari toh nhi na....

Jungkook looked horrified.

Jungkook-: toh kya mai uske maarne ka wait kru....??

Suga laughed.

Suga-: chill kuch nhi hoga.... Bs jaisa bola ho vaisa kro....

Jungkook sighed dramatically.

Jungkook-: ok.... (Murmured) pyaar ke liye kya kya krna pdta hai.... Mar jaunga kisi din....

Everyone burst out laughing.

FLASHBACK ENDS

Present Day

The next day...

Everything happened exactly according to plan. Lisa and Jungkook left together.
Without informing Tae.

One hour later...

Kim Mansion...

Tae and Jimin were sitting together.
Tae looked around.

Tae-: kookie kaha hai??

Jimin pretended innocent.

Jimin-: kahi bahar gya hai....

Then she quickly escaped.

Jimin-: Main snacks lekar aati hoon.

The moment she left...

Tae picked up her phone. And video called Jungkook.

Meanwhile...

Jungkook nearly dropped his phone.

Jungkook-: SHE CALLED.

Lisa-: Pick up.

Jungkook-: I'm not ready.

Lisa-: Pick up.

Jungkook-: Pray for me.

He answered.

Tae-: hii kookie.... Kaha ho??

Jungkook-: kisi kam se bahar aaya ho...

Tae-: ohh.... Hogya kaam....??

Jungkook-: haa almost....

Tae-: akele aaye ho ya kisi ke sath ho??

This was the moment. Jungkook slowly moved the camera. Toward Lisa.
The second Tae saw her... Everything exploded....

Lisa smiled innocently.

Lisa-: hii....

Tae's jaw clenched.

Tae-: (gritting her teeth) tum iske sath kyu aaye....?? Mujhe bolte.... Mai chlti tumhare sath....

Jungkook immediately gulped.

Jungkook-: voh jimin boli aap busy ho... Issiliye... Aapko disturb nhi kiya.... Isko bhi kaam tha.... Issiliye iske sath aagya....

Danger level increasing.

Tae-: pr maine bola tha na.... Ki tumko kahi bhi jana hoga toh mere sath jana.... Jana toh chhodo mujhe btana bhi zroori nhi smjha....

Jungkook internally started writing his will.

Jungkook-: jimin ne hi mana kiya tha.... Ki tum busy ho....issiliye disturb nhi kiya....

Lisa decided to help....Big mistake.....

Lisa-: arey chill.... Why you're overreacting.... Hum dono ko kaam tha issiliye dono sath aagye.... What's the big deal....

Tae exploded.

Tae-: shut up.... Just shut up.... Stay away from this.... This is our personal matter... Who gave you permission to come in between....

Jungkook nearly fainted. Tae's angry mode was terrifying.

Tae-: aur tum... Even if I was busy you should have atleast informed me.... Pr nhi tumko toh iske sath jana tha....

Jungkook-: (muttered) aaj toh mai gya....yeh toh mujhe kachcha kha jayegi....

Unfortunately...

Tae heard it.

Tae-: what are you murmuring....?? Say loudly....

Jungkook immediately surrendered.

Jungkook-: (pouted) acha sorry na... Abse aapse puch kr hi sare kaam krunga....

Instantly...

Half of Tae's anger melted. But she kept acting angry.

Tae-: where are you....?? Send your location I'm coming....

Jungkook obediently sent it.

Jungkook-: done....

Tae-: ok....

Call disconnected.

Silence.....Complete silence....

Jungkook slowly lowered his phone. Then started pacing around the entire place.

Jungkook-: aaj toh tu gya.... Propose krne ke pehle tu shaheed hojayega.... Aaj kahi mera aakhiri din toh nhi.... Abhi toh meri shadi bhi nhi hui .... Abhi mujhe nhi marna.... Please bhgwaan please aaj bacha lo.... Aaj ke baad fir kbhi aisa maut ka khel nhi khelunga....

Lisa was laughing so hard she couldn't stand.

Lisa-: You're acting like you're going to war.

Jungkook pointed dramatically toward the road.

Jungkook-: WAR HI TOH HAI!!

Meanwhile somewhere else... A furious Mafia Princess was already on her way.

And poor Jungkook... Was busy preparing his last words.....
