And I hate that Taehyung. I never cared about my well- being because I had you to take care of. Aside from insomnia and memory loss, the problems were increasing...but I was still there. Until life proved that your biggest problem was me all along...
''Jiminie, he looks rather angry'' Taehyung observed from the window wall. Yoongi was looking at the duo, with a peevish gaze.
''Is that dr. Kim? What is your therapist doing here?'' Jimin asked.
''What? What is he doing here?'' Taehyung wondered and pushed the door of the restaurant to open it.
''Wait for me you handsome idiot'' Jimin commented and walked inside the eatery.
''Where were you? We have been waiting for you. What were you doing that took you so long? ...Ughhh...'' Yoongi sighed and sat back down.
''It's not like we lost much'' Jimin commented.
''You didn't see Hoseok getting drunk, that's for sure''.
''Don't tell me you gave Hoseok booze'' Taehyung panicked.
''Nice to see you too Taehyung'' Yoongi remarked sarcastically.
''Hi...what are you doing here?'' Taehyung asked his therapist.
''My brother invited me. I mean it's his restaurant after all''.
''Your brother?'' Jimin wondered.
''He is currently helping Hoseok in the bathroom, because the boy isn't much of a drinker. Damn...Namjoon and his kind heart'' Seokjin commented and shook his head.
''You are Namjoon's brother?'' Taehyung asked.
''Didn't you hear it the first time?'' Jimin whispered to the red-haired's ear. Taehyung gently punched Jimin's chest and grabbed a chair to sit down.
''How are you Taehyung? How is life after...?'' Jungkook was about to ask, but Jimin placed his hand on his mouth.
''Kinky...'' Jungkook remarked and Jimin withdrew his hand with a disgusted look.
''I don't think that this is the place for a conversation like this'' Taehyung spoke. The Kim brothers were unaware of the incident or the fact that Taehyung used to work at ''Lotus''. Despite the fact that Jimin and himself visited dr. Kim some days after the event, the red-haired pleaded Jimin to keep this information, an unconquerable secret.
''How is work Jimin?'' Yoongi asked, trying to initiate a conversation.
''I am managing'' Jimin replied. He observed his friend's puffy eyes and the huge black circles that were decorating his almond-shaped eyes.
''What is troubling you?'' Jimin questioned and brought his chair closer to Yoongi's.
''I broke up with Hye-Jin. She wanted to break up with me actually. I know you have never met her, but she was my entire world...And now she's gone...'' Yoongi spoke as calmly as he could and felt Jimin's hand on his knee, rubbing comforting circles with his thumb.
''Why did she do it?''.
''She said that I was hiding secrets from her...I swear to my life Jimin, I have never cheated or kept a secret from her...she was just delusional'' Yoongi tried to explain, tears threatening to appear from his eyes.
''Tomorrow I was supposed to introduce her to my parents. But ten days ago, she began to treat me differently. She was barely talking to me or even shooting me a glance. She broke up with me a week ago, saying that we will be better apart. She grabbed her things and left''.
''Why didn't you call me? I could visit you...''.
''You had Taehyung...I know he is dealing with a lot of issues as well...I didn't want to be a burden...and please let's stop this conversation. This is supposed to be a day of joy. Tomorrow we will all be with our families and friends, that's why I wanted all of us to gather here today''.
''How did you convince these weirdos to come?'' Jimin asked to lighten up the mood.
''Jungkook was easily convinced. He will visit his parents tomorrow, so he thought that if he wanted to get drunk he should do it tonight''.
''He isn't the drunk one, though'' Jimin remarked and began to laugh when he saw Hoseok getting out of the bathroom, his hand over Namjoon's wide shoulders.
''Hi Jimin, hi Taehyung. Nice to see you again'' Namjoon waved.
''Do I know these two Joonie?'' Hoseok asked and accidentally slapped Namjoon's cheek with his palm.
''Hey...you dumbass...and yeah, don't ever call me Joonie'' he suggested clearly disgusted and helped the poor boy to sit on his chair.
''Public humiliation'' Seokjin commented and drank a little from his wine.
''How are things at ''Lotus''?'' Taehyung inquired.
''Boss has become stricter these days. After...you know what...a lot of clients have left, thinking that we somehow lost our reputation. Hoseok quit, he is searching for a job right now, but I ...''.
''You should quit too. You can find something so much better than that'' Taehyung claimed.
They looked like an extremely peculiar company, a company that despite the problems and the obstacles, somehow instantly bonded. A drunk boy, a heartbroken man, a strong boy that couldn't escape his job, a man whose only wish was to help the others, a boy that gathered all this company in his restaurant, a former victim of human trafficking and a simple taxi driver. All their problems hidden under the colourful city lights...

''Really Namjoon? Fireworks? It isn't even New Years'' Seokjin remarked, yet his brother was just smiling observing the beautiful spectacle.
''It's the first time, we are all gathered here. Tomorrow we will go to our parents and we will all be separated. Let's be a little over the top...'' Namjoon spoke.
''Hoseok, f-i-r-e-w-o-r-k-s'' Jungkook began to spell the word.
''He is drunk Jungkook, not stupid'' Yoongi remarked.
''You don't know him like I do'' Jungkook replied back and Yoongi cracked a smile.
''True'' Hoseok mumbled and started to clap his hands watching the fireworks painting the sky.
''We look cool together'' Taehyung commented and back-hugged the brunet that was observing the sparkles.
''I know''.
''I was talking about all of us, as a group. What were you talking about?'' he asked Jimin with a smirk.
''That's what I was talking about too'' he laughed, his bright smile faltering when he saw a couple looking at them with a repulsed look. Jimin thought that the back-hug he was now sharing with Taehyung was something that could be criticized, but he didn't want Taehyung to let him go. Regardless of the couple's judgemental gazes, Jimin grabbed Taehyung's palm and brought is from his waist to his lips, giving a small kiss to the flustered red-haired's hand.
''What was that for?'' Taehyung wondered.
''I just felt like kissing the man I like'' he answered.

After the company's ''goodbyes'' ,''see you agains'' and '' happy new year'' , they separated.
Namjoon and Seokjin stayed at the restaurant to help the cleaners, while the others returned to their houses in order to prepare their suitcases. Visiting your family, celebrating this day with people you love seemed too implausible to Jimin. He has been celebrating this day alone for quite sometime...but now he had someone that mattered next to him...
They walked to the parking lot and Jimin unlocked the cab.
''It was fun. I like the seven of us together'' Jimin claimed, and turned the engine on.
''It was great. It's the first time I feel like people...''.
''Give a crap about you?'' Jimin completed the other boy's sentence.
''I wouldn't say it that way, but yeah...although...I feel extremely tired. We were basically sitting and drinking, but I cannot feel my legs''.
''It's probably the lack of sleep. The moment we are entering our appartment, we instantly jump to bed. Did you take your pill?''.
''Yeah, I hope it'll work. Fuck...I think this wine must have been pretty heavy. I am feeling a little dizzy'' he laughed.
''Don't worry. We will be at our appartment in less than half an hour''.
''Thank you for tonight Jiminie. Thanks for the cake, the gathering, the gift...''.
''The kiss''.
''I left it for last. I will never forget it'' Taehyung smiled.
Truth to be told, Taehyung would never forget the sensation of having Jimin's kissable lips moving onto his. He would never forget the small tingling he felt in his stomach when Jimin pressed his lips on his hand.
Correction.
He didn't want to forget. But unfortunately that wasn't on his powers.
You see, in order to remember you have to be two things.
Healthy and...something else.
