Jungkook hurriedly finished his breakfast so that namjoon could start speaking

"Mr kim I am finished" he uttered slowly, the elder took a deep breath and started, Jungkook was attentive

"Me and Jin were childhood sweethearts, being their neighbour, I was very close to taehyung and jinni, the king of mafia once used to be a ball of joy for everyone around him, he was my brother who used to do pranks on Jin so that he gets distracted and forgets to scold me for my clumsiness, the cold person we see today wasn't like this, he was clingy, he loved cuddles, he used to smile widely, when he laughed, everybody used to smile

Taehyungie used to believe in true love, he was very much inspired by me and Jin, when we used to ask him why doesn't he have fun like other guys, he used to say

       'hyung! I haven't seen that spark
       in someone's eyes yet, I
       don't wanna waste my energy on
       someone random, the day I will
       fall in love....you will see me 
       going wild'

He wanted a true love like me and Jin, like his mom and dad, like his best friends, Jimin and suga

He was hopeful, a complete optimist but he was also very naughty, in school he got in lots of fights just because he couldn't see wrong doings

Everything was perfect, after Jin's 19th birthday, we got to know he was pregnant, we were on cloud ninth, I wanted to get married as soon as possible and exactly after a month he was my husband

When our d-daughter was born, taehyung was more excited than me, he even didn't let us name our girl, it was taehyung who suggested the name 'aera'

Due to my parents demise, uncle Kim asked me to move in with them and I did, 5 further years were only rainbows and unicorns for all of us

And then it happened

Jinni got his degree and he became a lawyer and then........"

Namjoon chocked on his tears, Jungkook's eyes left tears too, he knew the further story, the younger filled a glass with water and made the other drink it before saying

"I know the further story, Mr kim b-but i don't know how y-you and Jin hyung survived"

When the other calmed down a bit he continued further

"We all were stabbed with knives, they were in huge number and we were only 4, fortunately tae was out with Jimin so he didn't get hurt, when I opened my eyes, I found myself in a hospital of California, I got to know I managed to survive and so did Jin....but the others didn't, taehyung secretively continued our treatment, I had woken after a year of sleep, external wounds were healed but our peace was gone, Jin stayed in coma for six years"

Jungkook gasped at the revelation

"2 years back when he woke up, he was unaware of the existence of our babygirl, he didn't remember anything of the case he was working on, it was as if his mind wanted to erase all the bad things from his mind, we only told him that he had an accident with his parents and now they aren't alive

We were so thankful but it didn't make taehyung forget his promise"

"Promise?" Jungkook asked while frowning

"Before passing out, jinni took a promise from him.....to punish the culprits...and we thought it was your father until tae found out the reality"

Jungkook was feeling sick to the stomach listening to all of this

Taehyung was playful, he used to laugh....his heart was open, his feelings were unlocked

Jungkook felt his heart hurt...so much

"Jungkook I am not here to justify his actions, I want you to see everything clearly.....I know taehyung is guilty of his doings, he chose a complete innocent person for revenge and I opposed it in the start but eventually gave in, however I would definitely say that you should consider forgiving him some time later if not now....after all you should give him a hard time just like he did"

Jungkook casted his head down, he didn't want to expose his feelings to everyone..... namjoon clearly doesn't know about any of that, the elder didn't know about the most unforgiving crime taehyung did

Playing with his heart

"I used to avoid you not because I hated you...but because you were so adorable and naive that it made me soft.....I didn't want it" namjoon sighed and stood up

"And by the way, call me hyung.... because I won't like to be called ahjussi"

Jungkook faintly smiled

"Ok hyung"

Namjoon gave him a soft smile and left the room

The little boy slowly laid down and curled himself up

He used to laugh

He was hopeful

Suddenly taehyung's emotionless face came before his eyes and he sat up abruptly

He breathed heavily before rubbing his face and calming down for a bit

"I wish to take away all your pain, but if I forget everything you said to me and did to me, if I forgave you...I will not be able to stop myself from falling even more deeper"

Jungkook harshly wiped his eyes and stood up to take the tray back to the kitchen.....trying his best to remember all the cruel taehyung had said to him or for him

Jimin caressed taehyung's hair while the latter laid on bed staring in the air blankly...eyes were swollen and painfully red

"Taehyungie??"

Taehyung hummed shortly

"D-do you...." Jimin closed his eyes and took a deep breath preparing himself for asking the question

Taehyung looked at him with furrowed eyebrows

"What do you wanna say?"

Jimin opened his eyes and said the words

"Do you love Jungkook?"

Taehyung went blank for a moment, his heart was going out of control at the question

How can a 17 year old make his heart flutter.....a 28 year old man who claims to be feeling less

His eyes looked pitiful when Jimin looked at them

Taehyung didn't know what to say, hell he doesn't know if it's even fair for him to love the younger or if his feelings can be named as love

He doesn't know it because he has never loved someone

Taehyung cleared his hoarse throat and said

"I don't know if it's love or not....but I want him in my arms the whole time, I don't think I can let him stay away from me"
