Hyejin's face glows with happiness as she smiles, her eyes sparkling with mischief. "I'm glad you confessed, Jungkook. I was starting to think I'd have to make the first move."

Jungkook chuckles, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "Oh, really? And what would you have done?"

Hyejin's grin widens. "I would have challenged you to a sword fight, and then...who knows?"

Jungkook laughs, his eyes shining with amusement. "You're a fierce one, Hyejin. I like that."

As they tease each other, their banter is filled with a newfound flirtation, their words laced with a deeper meaning.

Suddenly, Jungkook's expression turns serious, his eyes locking onto Hyejin's. "Hyejin, I know we have to keep this a secret for now, but I promise you, I'll do everything in my power to make this work. I want to be with you, no matter what."

Hyejin's heart skips a beat as she looks up at Jungkook, her eyes shining with tears. "I want that too, Jungkook. I want to be with you."

_____----_____

Taehyung, Hoseok, and Jimin are sitting in the palace courtyard, sipping tea and discussing Hyejin's love life.

"I'm telling you, she's perfect for Jungkook," Taehyung says, a sly grin spreading across his face.

Hoseok nods in agreement. "I know, right? They'd make a great couple."

Jimin chuckles. "And can you imagine Jungkook's face if he found out we're all rooting for him?"

Taehyung laughs. "Priceless. Let's make it happen, guys."

Just then, Hyejin and Jungkook walk into the courtyard, hand in hand. The group falls silent, watching the couple with knowing smiles.

Hyejin notices their gaze and blushes, trying to hide behind Jungkook. But Jungkook just wraps his arm around her, pulling her close.

"Hey, guys. What's going on?" Jungkook asks, his eyes sparkling with amusement.

Taehyung grins mischievously. "Just discussing the latest palace gossip. You know, the usual."

Hyejin's eyes narrow suspiciously. "What kind of gossip?"

Hoseok tries to stifle a laugh. "Oh, just about how great you two would look together at the next palace ball."

Jungkook's face turns bright red as Hyejin's eyes widen .

Namjoon, who's been quietly observing the exchange, chimes in with a sly smile. "I think we should start a betting pool on how long it takes Jungkook to confess his undying love to Hyejin."

The group erupts into laughter, and Hyejin's face turns beet-red. Jungkook tries to maintain a straight face, but his eyes sparkle with amusement.

Taehyung grins mischievously. "I'll start the pool. I say it'll take him a week."

Hoseok raises an eyebrow. "I say less than three days."

Jimin chuckles. "I'll take that bet. I think he'll confess tomorrow."

Namjoon nods thoughtfully. "I'll put my money on today. He can't resist her charm."

Hyejin throws up her hands, laughing. "Stop it, all of you! This is ridiculous."

Jungkook just shakes his head, smiling. "You're all enjoying this way too much."

As the teasing continues, Hyejin and Jungkook exchange a look, their eyes sparkling with mirth and affection...

Taehyung, still grinning mischievously, turns to Jungkook. "Hey, Jungkook, why don't you write a love poem for Hyejin? I'm sure she'd love to hear it."

Jungkook's face turns bright red as Hyejin giggles. "Oh, that's a great idea, Taehyung!"

Namjoon chuckles. "Yes, please, Jungkook. We'd all love to hear your poetic skills."

Hoseok snickers. "I'm sure it'll be a masterpiece."

Jungkook rolls his eyes, laughing. "Fine, but if I do this, you all have to promise not to tease me too much."

The group eagerly agrees, and Jungkook clears his throat, trying to look serious.

"Oh, Hyejin, my love for you is like a rose in bloom,
Beautiful and delicate, yet strong and perfume..."

Hyejin giggles at the cheesy lyrics, and the group bursts into laughter.

Taehyung claps Jungkook on the back. "Bravo, Jungkook! You're a true poet!"

As the teasing continues, Hyejin and Jungkook exchange a look, their eyes sparkling with mirth and affection...

As the group continues to tease Jungkook, Taehyung watches with a warm smile, happy to see his sister and best friend so in love.

He turns to Namjoon and whispers, "I'm really glad those two finally confessed to each other. They're perfect for each other."

Namjoon nods in agreement. "Definitely. They balance each other out so well."

Taehyung nods, his eyes shining with happiness. "I know, right? I've never seen Hyejin so happy, and Jungkook's always been like a brother to me. I'm honored to welcome him into our family."

As the group's teasing dies down, Taehyung stands up and raises his cup. "To Hyejin and Jungkook! May their love continue to grow stronger every day."

The group cheers and clinks their cups together, as Hyejin and Jungkook share a tender glance...

As they're celebrating, Hoseok suddenly pipes up, "Hey, Jungkook, now that you're officially dating Hyejin, does that mean you'll finally start dressing better?"

Jungkook's face turns bright red as the group bursts into laughter. "Hey, my fashion sense is just fine!"

Taehyung chuckles, "Oh, really? Then why do you still wear those ridiculous socks with the little cartoon characters on them?"

Jungkook looks down, sheepishly, "Hey, those socks are comfortable, okay?"

Hyejin giggles, "I think they're cute, Jungkook. You can wear them on our next date."

Jungkook's face turns even redder as the group teases him further...

Namjoon, still chuckling, says, "I think we should start a makeover project for Jungkook. Get him to dress like a proper royal boyfriend."

Jungkook throws a mock-offended look at Namjoon. "Hey, I dress just fine, thank you very much!"

Hyejin playfully rolls her eyes. "Oh please, Jungkook, you know you need a little fashion help."

Taehyung grins mischievously. "I'll take charge of the makeover. I'll make sure he looks dashing for our next palace event."

Jungkook looks horrified, but the group just laughs and continues to tease him...

As they continue to joke around, Hyejin leans in close to Jungkook and whispers, "Don't worry, I like you just the way you are, cartoon socks and all."

Jungkook's face softens, and he smiles, feeling grateful for Hyejin's support...
