Talking to an old friend makes you realize how much your life has changed since the last time you saw them. That's what Taehyung felt today. After meeting Jimin, he really got to see how far he had come because that old friend reminded him of all those times that they spend together.

He had so many memories since childhood with those people he once called his best friends. With Jimin and with... Her.

They had the most beautiful memories together and now the people who gave him those memories had become just a memory. The saddest part was that they became a part of the memory that he didn't want to recall.

Sitting face to face with Jimin today, he caught glimpses of those tangled memories and it left a sour taste in his mouth. Once they were best friends and now they might even be worse than strangers. And because of that, the rest of the day he spent in a bad mood. Even his assistant had to be extra cautious around him.

As he walked through the door of the house, he took off his coat and passed it to the maid in a routine manner. He ascended the stairs to go to his room but stopped when he saw Roseanne sitting in the lounge on their floor.

She had her feet perched on the coffee table before her. There was a cushion on her legs and on top was her laptop. She was wearing shorts with an oversized knitted sweater and had tied her hair in a high ponytail. There was no makeup on her face which made her face look youthful.

While her eyes moved from the documents in her hands to the screen of the laptop, she was so engrossed in her work that she didn't even realize someone had been staring at her for a while now. And of course, Taehyung didn't make any sound to announce his arrival as well.

But it wasn't intentional though. Seeing her, he found himself lost in his own thoughts. That suffocating feeling that all those old memories evoked within his heart slowly evanesced as he gazed at his wife. They say life doesn't always give you the people you want. He finally understood the meaning of it. She was definitely not someone he wanted but she was becoming someone he needed; To help him grow out of everything that had been tormenting him.

He stepped closer to her and sat down right beside her on the couch. Only then did Roseanne lifted her eyes and noticed his presence. "Oh, you're back?"

"I guess I'm late again," replied Taehyung although he was right on time today. But she was already here, he felt like he was still a step late.

Roseanne looked at the time on her laptop screen and shook her head, "Nope. It's me. I'm early."

"And you decided to work right after coming back?" asked Taehyung .

Roseanne gathered the documents and closed the lid of the laptop as she told him, "It's because when I came you weren't here. Dad is also not home. So, I decided to keep myself busy in this way."

"When did you come?"

"It's been an hour," replied Roseanne. "I had to sign a contract with MH but their VP had some health issue because of which the meeting had to be canceled. So, I left work around 5 o'clock today." She took a pause before adding, "And that's the earliest I have ever left work. It's my new personal best."

Taehyung chuckled softly as her 'personal best' before he placed his arm behind her. Her personal best was actually the time people would usually leave work. That meant it was her very first time leaving work right on time like a normal white-collar worker.

Without realizing it, while talking she leaned into his side. Taehyung placed his chin on the top of her head as she continued to tell him about her day.
