It was a long while before they both realized that they where soaking wet from the rain.

"We're wet Jiminah, it's best for us to go inside" Taehyung said hurriedly.

The latter blushed deeply as Taehyung took his hand and they both rushed into Jimin's car. Soon after, they drove inside and as soon as they entered the mansion, traces of water followed behind them. They where both running upstairs when they heard someone's voice stopping them in their tracks.

"What the hell is going on here? What is Mr Kim doing here?"

It was Doo min and both her eyes where wide open in total belweirdment.

"Em...it's a long story" Jimin mumbled.

"How about Mintae?"

"He's asleep" Doo min answered.

"That's good...We'll be going now" he added and they both continued their run upstairs giggling like little kids. They arrived at Jimin's room. As they both stepped inside, a strange wave of awkwardness set in but it wasn't the uncomfortable kind. It was the kind that was somewhat confusing.

They looked at each other, faces red before bursting into soft giggles again neither unable to start a conversation until Jimin spoke first.

"Why don't you change your clothes?" He whispered.

"You too...you might catch a cold" Taehyung said and Jimin suddenly sneezed. Taehyung rushed to him holding both his arms.

"See, you've caught a cold" he said.

Jimin smiled. "I'm fine"

Taehyung frowned. "No it's not. If I hadn't...."

But Jimin placed his fore finger on his lips to stop him from speaking more. He smiled again.

"It was totally worth it Tae..."

There was silence in the room before Taehyung's face broke into a warm smile.

Jimin continued. "We have to get changed" he said and moved to his drawer. He began pulling out some clothes. Once he was done, he gave Taehyung a pair of pyjamas, red in color while the one in his arms was just like Taehyung's only slightly different with blue as it's color. The clothes where matching pyjamas.

"Um...I buy my clothes in pairs. I hope you don't mind" he whispered, face as red as a tomato.

"No...no it's fine" Taehyung said, lips quivering.

"I'll just change and come back" Taehyung said before dashing straight to the bathroom. Jimin peeled off his wet clothes, towelled himself dry and changed into the pyjamas. He walked anxiously around the room waiting for Taehyung to return.

He had so many questions to ask him. What just happened between them? The kiss. Was it a dream? Was Taehyung really in love with him? Why was he back? Did he really not hate him? What was going to happen now?

The bathroom door opened and Taehyung stepped out. They both stood rooted to the spot as they stared at each other.

They did kiss but it was at the spur of the moment. They had been on cloud nine. It was something that happened without neither party thinking but could they relieve that experience again now that they where back to their senses?

But his breath hung as Taehyung slowly walked towards him and stopped right in front of him, their faces merely inches apart.
Jimin was screaming internally when Taehyung wrapped his arms around him and pulled him closer letting both their bodies press against each other such that they where no spaces between them.

Jimin wrapped his arms around his body tightly taking in the scent of him.

"Am i dreaming?" He whispered.

Taehyung kissed the top of his head "No Jimin, you certainly aren't dreaming. I'm right here"

They pulled away and looked into each other's eyes before Jimin took the other's hands and led him to the bed. They both sat down and Jimin peered into his face.

"Why are you back? Aren't you still treating yourself?"

Taehyung reddened. "I am..."

But then he looked pointedly at Jimin and grinned.

"But why do you think I'm back? I'm sure you know it yourself"

Jimin blushed. "How did you know Yoongi was going to propose to me today"

Taehyung sighed. "Jin told me. It turns out his boyfriend is also a friend of Yoongi's. He said his name is Namjoon!"

Jimin was quite surprised. "Namjoon? I know him very well. He's Yoongi's best friend"

" Well Yoongi told him about his plans to propose to you. Jin happened to be there so he came by the hospital and told me"

Jimin shook his head. "So you came rushing here..."

Taehyung looked embarrassed "I know...it's crazy. I lost control. I couldn't stand the thought of you accepting his proposal so I begged Jin to let me go"

Jimin heaved heavily wearing a solemn expression on his face as he spoke. "Taehyung, I want to ask you a question and I want you to answer me honestly"

"Was there ever a time when you hated me for destroying Jessica's identity?"

Taehyung was quiet, his expression unreadable as Jimin went on. "When you where gone, I went to your room and I discovered you still keep a lot of our old memories. There where pictures, old notes and letters"

His lips began to tremble. "I don't know...it has bothered me for so long and i felt so insecure that I decided to resume my relationship with Yoongi...."

He inhaled. "But we call all see how that turned out"

"So please, tell me how you really felt"

Jimin was looking at him anxiously.

"Yes!" Taehyung answered finally and tears spilled down his cheeks.

"I hated it. I felt disgusted and angry at you for changing into someone else different from the person I loved....from the woman I knew who was my first and only love"

Jimin bit his lips unable to look at Taehyung. He slowly shifted away from him but froze in place as Taehyung's arms held him steadily.

"But that was how I felt before. I don't feel that way anymore"

Jimin looked up at him now and saw the affection shining in Taehyung's eyes as he stared at him.

"Your favorite food is still cold noodles and fried eggs same as she. You still tap your legs when you are nervous. You still love running your hands all over your hair every ten minutes. You are still a terrible cook. You are still fierce when protecting the people you love. Your favorite color is still blue. You still love dancing like crazy when you are depressed. Your favorite song is still spring day"

"Why are you saying all these?"

"That's because you haven't changed. The only thing that changed was your appearance but your soul remains just as it ever was"

Taehyung laughed. "At first, I was blind to see all these because I was so angry but as time went on, I realized something. it finally occured to me that what I loved isn't your appearance but you, your real you"

He pressed their foreheads together placing his head in his hands

"You could turn into an old wrinkly man or woman and I wouldn't care. I would still love you"

Jimin began to cry. He couldn't believe what was happening right now.

"So I love you Jimin. I really really love you just the way you are and...." His voice trailed off as he kissed the tip of his nose. "I think I prefer you this way... with your cute little nose"

He kissed the side of his face. "Your smiling eyes..."

Then he reached his lips and kissed him wildly. "And your full lips"

Jimin stared at him, his eyes red and a bit swollen. He was no longer crying. His heart was just filled with inner peace and joy.

"I love everything about you Jimin. I don't think I could ever feel this way for anyone else which shows just how special you are to me. Don't ever forget that okay?" He said in a reassuring voice.

"I won't...." Jimin whispered.

That night, they where wrapped up in each other's arms almost drifting off to sleep when Jimin's voice echoed inside Taehyung's ear.

"So Tae, what do you identify as?"

Tae stared at him, looking thoughtful for a moment. "Well, I guess I am pansexual. To me, It doesn't matter what you identify as, I'll still love you no matter what"

Jimin looked up at him with adorable eyes. "Have you always been this way?"

"I don't know. Everything changed for me after I met you. I guess my sexuality awakened because of you"

He bopped Jimin's nose and the latter giggled before wrapping his arms tighter around him.

"Jimin, I want to take you out on a date tomorrow. How about that? We can go for a walk, hold hands around the park, maybe go see a movie or something, what do you think?"

"I'm fine with anything you want just as long as I'm with you"

They relaxed into each other's embrace smiling contentedly till they slept off.

The next morning, the feeling of a body smashing on to them woke them up from their sleep. Alarmed, Jimin woke up only to see Mintae staring at them especially Taehyung in total shock, his eyes unmoving.

"Papa....papa. You're here! I can't believe this" Mintae cried as he wrapped his arms around Taehyung.

Jimin smiled just watching them. Mintae released himself from Taehyung's embrace and pouted sadly.

"I missed you so much. Please promise me you won't leave again" he cried.

Taehyung shared a nervous look with Jimin before smiling at Mintae.

"I can't promise you that right now but I can assure you that we'll spend a lot of time together okay"

Jimin got up from bed and started to lead Mintae out of the room so he could prepare for school. Taehyung followed behind him. Jimin and Mintae went to the latter's room while Taehyung headed down stairs.

Doo min who was busy cleaning and dusting stopped her work and stared at him.

"Do continue what you where doing. It's not like I'm a ghost" he dragged on as he headed to the kitchen to pour himself some juice. Doo min followed him.

"Mr Kim, what are you doing here?" She asked.

Taehyung smiled. "I came to spend time with Jimin and my son. I don't think that should be an issue"

Doo min nodded. "That's true but don't get me wrong. I'm happy you're back but from what i know, you're still under treatment in a psychiatric hospital suffering from several mental illnesses. Don't forget that the last time you saw Jimin you almost killed him"

Taehyung froze looking into space as Doo min continued.

"I'm only looking out for my master. There's no doubt anymore that Jimin loves you. Everyone could see just how miserable he was without you even though he tried to hide it. However, he is so full of happiness to have you back that he wouldn't be able to think straight right now"

Taehyung clenched his fist. "So, what are you trying to say?"

"I know it hurts but you have to leave, you have to stay away from him. Not just him but Mintae as well. It's for the best. You can't be around them right now in your condition"

Taehyung was silent for a while. "I'll leave but I just need some time to be with them. Who knows when next I'll have this chance" he whispered, face crumpling into utmost sadness.

Jimin and Mintae suddenly entered bringing the conversation to an abrupt end.

"What are you guys talking about?" Jimin said heartily. He was bouncing in his steps. His face looked so radiant. Doo min saw this and smiled sadly.

"I was just asking Mr Kim the reason why he came back" she said.

Jimin winked at Taehyung. "Did you tell her?"

"I was about to..."

"Well, Yoongi was going to propose to me yesterday. Taehyung found out about it through Jin and begged Jin to let him come out so he could see me"

He looked really proud and leaned forward to kiss Taehyung. As soon as Mintae saw this, he squeezed his face.

"eew...how disgusting" he said as he eyed them. "Are you two together now?" He added.

Taehyung and Jimin joined their hands together. Mintae smiled in approval before his face went sad.

"I'm sorry for Papa Yoongi though"

Jimin's face fell. "I'm sorry too..." He whispered.

Taehyung stared at the two of them and suddenly, he felt empty. He felt like his reappearance had really affected them and changed everything from how it used to be before. How it should have been.

The tense atmosphere changed when they all started to eat. After breakfast, Jimin and Taehyung dropped Mintae at school before going on their date.

Jimin cancelled all his appointments that day in other to have time for Taehyung. They went to see a movie before finally walking hand in hand at a park holding ice cream cones in their other hands.

"You're really handling the company well I see" Taehyung said.

Jimin smiled. "Well, I try but Jungkook and Sunmi are mainly in charge. I just sign whatever they want me to sign"

Taehyung narrowed his eyes. "Don't you think it's dangerous?"

Jimin nodded. "I might not trust Sunmi but I trust Jungkook to handle things pretty well"

Taehyung nodded. "you're right. He has always been loyal"

They walked side by side enjoying the scenery. It was a beautiful day. People seemed happier than normal on this day. Maybe it was all in Jimin's head because today, everything seemed a bit more brighter than how it used to be before.

They finished their ice cream and Jimin pulled Taehyung to a bench sitting idly underneath a tree. As they sat, they held hands again and smiled at each other.

"Tae... there's something I've always been curious about"

Taehyung looked at him intently as he continued.

"Cha ha seems to blame you for the death of her son. Can you tell me what really happened that day?"

Taehyung stiffened and Jimin deduced by his reaction that he didn't want to talk about the incident so he cleared his throat.

"It's fine if you don't want to talk about it..."

Taehyung gripped his hand tighter. "No, it's fine. I'll tell you"

"Living with Kim Cha ha felt like hell but I was always able to endure it because of Joo seok"

A smile lit up his face and Jimin couldn't help smiling back at him.

"In the beginning, I used to take my anger out on Joo seok. When ever Cha ha hurt me, I would hurt Joo seok too. I would speak to him rudely, push him around and bully him but he remained loving towards me. Maybe he was too young to differentiate between hatred and love. That's why he held on to me. He didn't care how many times I yelled at him. He would stick around me, pestering me"

He laughed bitterly. "Soon, I got accustomed to him and grew to love him as my brother. We went everywhere together. He was so stubborn but he always listened to what ever i told him, telling me he looked up to me. That I was a hero"

He gulped hard and Jimin could feel his hands shaking within his.

"How could I hate someone as adorable as he was. Despite all the things Cha ha did to me, it didn't stop me from buying Joo seok his favorite chocolate chip cookies or taking him around the neighborhood in my bicycle every weekend or taking him with me to watch my football match game"

He swallowed hard. "Who knew that all that was going to end one day"

"That particular day, we had returned from school but found that the house was empty. Surprisingly, all the maids where gone from the house so I prepared lunch for the two of us. Joo seok went to sleep while I went to the spare room downstairs as usual to work on a project I had been on for the past week. I was still working when I suddenly heard a loud explosion. I looked and discovered that the room was on fire. I tried to leave but the door was locked. It seemed it had been locked from outside. The smoke from the fire was almost choking me to death so I managed to break the window and jump out of the room.

The whole house suddenly caught on fire. I couldn't understand what had caused it. It was beyond me. In my horrified state, I managed to rush back in to look for my brother but the flames was too much. I checked his room but he wasn't there"

Taehyung began to tremble and he went totally pale, his face white.

"I suddenly realized that he may have gone to look for me so I searched everywhere despite the hotness....the heat"

He began to hyper ventilate.

"Finally, I found him in the spare room I had just escaped from. The door was open and he was on the ground looking at me, stretching his hand towards me but I couldn't do anything to save him"

The shaking grew worse and tears fell from Taehyung's eyes.

"I tried but there was fire everywhere. Joo seok was just looking at me....there was nothing I could do....."

"Nothing!" He screamed and suddenly started holding his chest, hitting it repeatedly. Jimin realised he was having a panic attack so he squeezed his hand tightly.

"Breathe Taehyung... breathe. You're fine okay..."

Slowly, the shaking reduced and Taehyung relaxed a bit.

He spoke in a light voice. "I fainted from the smoke. When I woke up, I was in the hospital. Later, my father told me Joo seok had died in the fire. Cha ha went crazy. She kept saying it was my fault"

Jimin spoke "Personally, I think Cha ha set fire to the house in hopes of killing you but her plans back fired. Joo seok ended up dying. I think this is why she hates you so much"

Taehyung said nothing for a while before speaking again. "I just wish I had saved him back there...."

"It wasn't your fault Tae. You didn't cause this. Stop blaming yourself. Please" he said.

Taehyung burst into tears and Jimin held him in his arms letting his tears wet his clothes.

"It's okay Tae... you can cry as much as you want. I'm here" he whispered.

However, Some distance away beside the road close to the park, Jimin and Taehyung where totally oblivious to Kim Cha ha's presence. She smirked as she watched them. She was seated in a black car dressed incognito. Beside her was the man with the dragon tattoo. A huge scar appeared on the left side of his face. He frowned hard as he too watched them.

"My my my.... finally, the baby bird is out of his nest. I was cracking my head thinking of a way to get to him but here he his having a nice time with his trans bitch" she said sarcastically.

She looked at the other man. "How is our next plan going?"

"I have it all ready ma'am"

She grinned. "That's perfect. I have run out of patience. There is only so much I can take"

"This time around, i'll do it myself no more games. I'll make sure he is dead. Dead with no hope of returning"

She laughed scornfully.

"Let's go pay someone a visit" She said.

The man with the dragon tattoo put the car in ignition and drove away.

How are you doing every one? I hope you are all taking care of yourselves. We are slowly moving to the end of this book so stick with me. Love you all!
