Jimin sat on his chair drumming his pen repeatedly on the table. Hoseok sat opposite him watching him.  He was a bit irritated with his friend and his consistent habit. He couldn't take it anymore so he yelled.

"Stop!"

Jimin looked at him.

"Stop doing that!" Hoseok said pointing to the pen in his hands.

Jimin sighed and dropped the pen on the table then breathed out a sigh.

"It's been days and he hasn't made a move" Jimin said.

"Maybe he doesn't want to"

Jimin laughed sarcastically. "Kim Taehyung? Yeah right, that man will never give up on humiliating me. It's like he enjoys seeing me suffer"

"But till now, it beats my imagination. I really don't know how it happened or how they met. It felt like some kind of providence or something"

Hoseok rolled his eyes. "Taehyung is Mintae's dad. No matter what you do, they are bonded"

Jimin snorted. "Oh please..."
Then he perked up. "How about i relocate with Mintae to a place far away so that Taehyung will never be able to find us"

Hoseok sighed. "Are you hearing yourself? You sound desperate and ridiculous. Are you going to abandon your company all because you're afraid of Taehyung taking Mintae away from you?"

Jimin bit his lips as Hoseok stared at him closely.

"What are you really afraid of because I know Taehyung taking Mintae away isn't the only problem"

Jimin remained silent lowering his head.

"Tell me Jimin" Hoseok whispered in a soothing voice waiting patiently for Jimin to speak.

When Jimin raised his head up and Hoseok saw how red his eyes was, he understood.

"You're ashamed!" he whispered.

Jimin pressed his lips tightly together unable to say a word. His silence was more than enough confirmation for Hoseok.

"It's about you and Taehyung

His friend stared at him "You don't know how to face Taehyung when he finds out who you are and what you did"

Jimin swallowed hard. "It's nothing...."

Hoseok shook his head "It's not nothing Jimin. You shouldn't look down on yourself because of that asshole"

Jimin nodded sighing. "All my life, i always wanted to be someone else but the one person I had confided in treated me like trash once i told him my secret"

He breathed deeply "You should have seen the way he looked at me when i told him, not to mention the things he said to me. That look of disgust in his eyes haunted me for years. It made me feel worthless. Made me feel like I was nothing."

He stopped. "Though, I managed to pick myself up despite everything but i don't think I'm ready to face his reaction"

Hoseok rolled his eyes. "Why should you even care what he thinks? You don't owe him or anyone else any explanation. You've managed to make something good out of your life being the person you are right now and now, you are happy, own it"

"He should go fuck himself if he isn't comfortable with it"

Jimin laughed. Hoseok always found a way to make him feel better about himself.

"You're Park Jimin, successful and attractive fashion icon whom everyone both male or female wants a taste of. You are strong, feisty and the most hardworking man I've ever known. Don't put yourself down because of that man Kim Taehyung who never deserved you in the first place"

Jimin nodded feeling a lot more confident. "You're right. I'm Park Jimin and i don't give a fuck what Kim Taehyung thinks"

Hoseok smiled. "Exactly!" he shouted and soon they where both bustling with adrenaline feeling more energetic.

"Thank you Hobi. Right from the start, you've always been there by my side. I really don't know what i would have done without you"

Hoseok scoffed. "Don't think it was one sided. You helped me out of a slump too and I'm always grateful for it. You're never alone Jimin. If we have to fight Taehyung, then we will together. I'm with you all the way"

Jimin smiled at his friend. " I'll treat you to drinks tonight my friend"

"I'll like that" Hoseok responded.

That night, after work, they headed to the bar to have some few drinks. As they drank, Jimin thought about everything. How much he despised Taehyung. He wished he could make him pay for everything he did to him. He shattered his pride as a human being so badly, it took him years to rebuild himself again. He would be damned if he was going to give in to him. He was determined to face him confidently when the time came.

Jimin finally got back home quite late that night and a little drunk. Thankfully, Mintae was still asleep so he went to bed and slept off the minute his head hit the pillow.

The next morning, it was a saturday which meant Mintae was going to be home so Jimin decided to do a little work at his small office in the house. He was currently lacking inspiration while trying to come up with new designs to showcase at the Asian Fashion Week. Jimin was intent on getting into the world Fashion Week by doing well at the Asian Fashion Week. He was hoping to receive more recognition with his latest designs and become part of the show but with the recent happenings around him, his creative juices where stuck in his head. They weren't flowing anymore.

Jimin couldn't count the number of paper he wasted drawing sketches. None of them seemed to stand out and he was already tired and frustrated. He was this close to tearing his hair out of his skull when Doo min entered his office.

"Sir...."

"What is it Ahjumma?" Jimin said tiredly.

"There's a man in the living room looking for you" The old woman answered.

Jimin rubbed his eyes tiredly. He really didn't care who was here to see him. All he cared about right now was taking a nap after all these stress he had put himself through.

"Who is it?" he said non chalantly.

"He said his name is Kim Taehyung"

The tiredness left him so quickly, his head banging furiously within his skull as he sat up on his seat in complete shock.

"Kim Taehyung? Are you sure he said his name is Kim Taehyung?"

His lips were trembling and he suddenly felt dizzy

Doo min nodded her head looking confused. Before she could blink, Jimin had run out of his office to the living room, freezing in the spot when he saw Taehyung standing in the middle of the room smiling down at Mintae.

He didn't know what to say. It was like his power of speech was magically taken away from him.

Jimin shook his head wishing this was a nightmare but when he heard that voice speak he knew he wasn't dreaming. He knew this was real.

"Hello Jessica!"

Jimin looked up and saw Taehyung with a deep set frown on his face and Jimin just knew right there that everything was going to change and that the battle had only just begun.
