' How can I help you sir'

Jungkook looked at the man in front of him... who was now looking at him with a welcoming smile...

' Am here to apply for the vacancy' Jungkook said...

' You must be JK?' The man asked

' Yeah...'

' Please come in...our boss has been waiting for you for a while now' He said walking in as Jungkook followed

He opened a door letting Jungkook in... only to be met by another man...who was in his early thirties .... sitting behind the desk

' JK?' He stood up from his chair

' Yes...'

' Since you were recommended by one of my bestest employ....am not digging much deeper into your background...and getting straight to the point...' The man smiled ' Firstly...am Choi Wooshik...you can call me hyung....also you'd be having work every evening from 5 to 11...you can change your working hours if you want to...but only after informing me...be at your best behavior towards the customers and colleagues.... You'd be paid at the end of every month....If this is all acceptable by you then you can join in from today'

' W-who recommended me?' Jungkook asked puzzled

' Who gave you the information about this place?' Wooshik asked back..

' Oh..' Jungkook blinked...and then his mind started processing everything... ' Mr Choi- Wooshik hyung...I agree with all this...and am ready to start working from today'

' Thats the spirit young man' Wooshik patted his shoulder ' Let's go meet the others'

They walked out of the office into the worker's room

' Guys...this is JK...and he will be joining you guys from today... Do help him out' Wooshik said ' Mingyu.. am trusting him with you'

Mingyu...the boy whom Jungkook had seen earlier smiled ' Yes boss' He said making Wooshik roll his eyes before leaving

One by one the worked came and introduced themselves to Jungkook... and to his relief they all were very kind.. specially Mingyu

' Umm...Mingyu...you know who recommended me right?' Jungkook asked as he changed into his work attire

' I do' Mingyu nodded

' Where is he?' Jungkook asked...a small ray of hope growing in him thinking may be he can finally meet his bear

' He is on leave tonight' Mingyu said breaking his hope

' Oh'

' Why?'

' I just needed to see him' Jungkook bit his lips ' I wish I knew how he looks like' Jungkook stilled when he realized that he said that aloud

' You also haven't seen his face?' Mingyu asked ' Damn he is so good at hiding himself'

' What do you mean?'

' He comes early to work before any one of us reaches and while he sings he has a beautiful mask on.. hiding his face and he leaves after everyone..talks to no one...also no one knows his name...we call him our masked singer....so basically no one except our boss knows nothing about him....but I must tell you JK...he has very beautiful eyes and a much more beautiful voice... anyway come out...the rush will pick up now'

Jungkook nodded as Mingyu rushed out.. leaving him there...Why does he hide his face? He never talks to anyone.. no one knows his name....who is he hiding from? Who are you bear?'

❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

'My name is Cyra'

' Isn't that a beautiful name' Jimin said pinching her cheeks

' Yes...my appa named me' Cyra said smiling wide 'And you know Chim Cyra means sunshine...and am Appa's sunshine'

Hobi and Jimin felt their hearts flip seeing the child giggling and clapping....she looked too pure...too innocent for this world

'But Cyra doesn't have friends' The child pouted...and Taehyung saw how Jimin and Hobi's smile drained off

' Why?' Hobi frowned ' You are such a cute baby..why don't you have any friends?'

' Because I have no eom-'

' Cyra' Taehyung stopped her ' Princess it might be getting late for them...they need to leave'

' You are going?' The pout just grew and her eyes became teary

' Aww Don't cry princess...we are not leaving' Hobi picked her up

' And you don't have to be sad now....Chim will become your friend' Jimin said happily

' You will be my friend?' Cyra asked innocently as Jimin nodded ' Appa see I got a new friend'

Taehyung smiled seeing his happy daughter who was now blabbering to Jimin and Hobi....they were still in their own bubble when the sound of door opening was heard followed by loud footsteps and someone's alarmed voice

' Taehyung ah...Tae where ar-'

Jimin and Hobi stilled....not at all expecting this person here

' Jennie noona?' Jimin breathed out

' Jimin...Hoba' Jennie looked between them and Taehyung

' Why are you here?' Hobi asked.... Kim Jennie the one and only sister of Kim Namjoon....who was way too much pampered by Namjoon and Jin

' Cyra goes to her daycare... and we became friends..so she visits once in a while' Taehyung said hurriedly as the other two nodded

' I was scared for a minute..there was a car outside and then I heard someone else's voice...I-'

' Noona....we are fine' Taehyung assured ' Come in with me...'

Hobi and Jimin looked at how Taehyung and Jennie walked in

Jimin looked back at the girl who was now playing with Hobi's sunflower pendant...

' Baby' Jimin called softly ' Only you and appa stay here?'

' No' Came the immediate reply

Jimin threw Hobi a glance before continuing ' Then?'

' Appa doesn't stay with me...he has to go to college and also to work...' Cyra said....still playing ' Appa comes to meet me in the evening and leaves after that'

' Then who looks after you?' It was Hobi ' Jennie?'

' Sometimes' Cyra looked at him ' But I like to play with Jinnie and Joonie'

Both the elders looked at each other....how many more surprises are waiting them for this evening

' Sorry for the wait' Just then Taehyung came out...he frowned seeing the look on both of their's face ' What's wrong?'

' Jin and Namjoon hyung knows?' Jimin asked

Taehyung looked at his daughter who was now cluelessly staring back at him ' Yeah...once...she fell severly ill and I didn't have any money...so I had no one else to call other than Jin hyung...so he knows'

The room fell silent...with many questions lingering in the air...

' Taehyung ah...you should leave now... it's getting late' Jennie spoke up ' Hoba...drop him home'

' I can go alone' Taehyung said

' No can do' Hobi deadpanned before looking at the child in his arms ' Cyra baby.... We are leaving now....'

' But we will come back tomorrow' Jimin said smiling

' You are not coming tomorrow' Taehyung blurted out

' Why?' Jimin Hobi and Cyra asked together making Taehyung sigh

' Because I have to be at my job...I can't take a leave tomorrow also'

' Who is even asking you to take a leave...' Jimin asked ' We are here to play with Cyra..not you'

Cyra giggled hearing that as Taehyung just rolled his eyes

' Anyway we will leave now' Jimin smiled ' Bye baby' He said pecking her cheeks...the same done by Hobi and he slowly let the kid down... but hissed in pain when he felt a sting on his neck

' Am sorry' Cyra's panicked voice was heard...her eyes wide with horror as she looked at her hand that now held Hobi's broken chain with the sunflower pendant

' What did you do Cyra' Taehyung panicked...' Hyung am sorry... I'll-'

' Taehyung relax' Hobi called him but

' Appa am sorry...' Cyra's lips wobbled ' Samcheon sorry'

' Aish its ok princess.... Samcheon is not angry at you...' Hobi said caressing her cheeks ' And you Tae... Don't scold our pretty princess...and it's totally fine'

Taehyung bit his lips nodding...he walked towards his daughter.. kneeling in front of her

' Appa is sorry for shouting at you'

' It's ok appa' Cyra hugged him.... ' I love you'

' I love you to my baby' Taehyung pecked her forehead ' I'll come back soon'

Cyra nodded happily as Jennie held her hand

' We are leaving noona...take care'

' You to Tae' Jennie smiled as the three of them slowly left

❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

' Is there something about which I have no idea Yoongi?'

' There should be a lot of things hyung' Yoongi snickered

' Am not joking Yoongs' Jin's voice hardened ' You are hiding something....'

' Hyun-'

' About Tae' Jin cut him off ' And I want to know what is it about'

' I can't even understand why you all care about that boy this much...He is not imp-'

' Yoongi ah' Jin softly called him ' Why?'

' Jin hyung.... Jungkook left him for a reason and you better accept-'

' So it's Jungkook who left him?' Jin asked...a small smirk on his lips ' You only told that Tae left him...'

' Hyung'

' Think very carefully before you speak Min Yoongi.... I have never raised my voice at you...nor my hands...but if you continue to do this...things might change'

Yoongi gulped at that....angry Jin is scary...but angry Jin with a calm voice is a big no no.....

' Hey Jin hyung' Jimin greeted as he came and sat beside them with Hobi

' Hey Jiminie... done for the day?' Jin asked smiling

' Yes...' Jimin nodded as he continued ' So the graduation is in two weeks and you all will be leaving huh?'

' We will be around here only Jimin ah' Jin said ruffling his hair

' I don't believe that' Jimin crossed his arms ' Jin hyung.. you will get busy with your shifts...Joonie Hyung will be taking over the company...And Yoongi hyung will probably be behind some composers..and Hobi hyung....I don't know...but you will also be busy and I will be here stuck with Kook and Tae'

' Look at you being so dramatic when in reality you will also be graduated in some months' Jin chuckled ' Anyway... what's your plan for the evening...classes are done..so I guess you all are free?'

' No hyung' Jimin said ' Me and Hobi hyung are not free'

' Why?' Yoongi frowned ' Hoba? Where are you both going?'

' We are going to meet Cyra' Jimin smiled

' Why?' Both Jin and Yoongi asked together

' You know her?' Hobi asked seeing Yoongi's reaction

' No' Yoongi was quick to reply...' I was going to ask who it is...and why you are meeting her'

' Oh' Jimin nodded  ' She is Tae's daughter and she is soo cute and pretty.. oh I already love her'

' Am also coming' Jin suddenly said...' I'll inform Joonie'

' Where to?' Jungkook asked joining them..and almost sitting down when

' To meet your ex boyfriend's daughter' Yoongi scoffed as Jungkook froze... before standing up

' You coming Kook' Jin asked as Jimin and Hobi looked at him wide eyed

' No...I got a job...need to be there' Jungkook mumbled

' You got a job? You didn't tell me' Yoongi frowned

' It happened so soon... anyway am leaving...see you guys' Jungkook waved at them before walking out

' I'll go search for Tae... and then will leave together...till then you bring Joon hyung too' Jimin said standing up

' Wait up Jiminiee..am also coming' Hobi followed behind

' How do you know about Cyra?' Jin turned to Yoongi the moment the other two left

' What do you mean' Yoongi asked

' Yoongi stop pretending....and you better tell me everything...' Jin was clearly getting angry

' Hyung I really don't understand what you are talking about!' Yoongi said exasperated making Jin scoff

' Am warning you....the moment I find out about it on my own...you are done for good Yoongi!!'

❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

' I'll tell you a secret'

' What secret princess?' Jimin asked as he braided Cyra's hair

' Don't tell anyone' Cyra said... bringing her small finger over her own lips... Jimin looked around and saw that Jin was busy making something special for Cyra where as Namjoon and Hobi were outside.... They were at Taehyung's house...with the said boy long gone for his job

' No one' Jimin nodded moving his hand in front of his mouth as if sealing his lips

' You know appa never stays with me' Cyra started 'But when I show my puppy eyes..like this' Cyra turned towards Jimin... making him chuckle at her antics ' He agrees to stay here'

' That's a good thing....your puppy eyes do work on him huh' Jimin laughed...'Why is that a secret?'

' Appa was right....Chim is a pabo...I didn't even tell the secret yet!' Cyra giggled as Jimin gasped

' Your appa said that??'

' Yes...he always talks about you all' Cyra said making Jimin fall into some thoughts

' Ok..now tell me about the secret' Jimin ushered

' Appa cries when he is alone at night' Cyra mumbled... her voice dropping to a mere whisper ' I would hug appa to sleep but he cries silently everytime...One time he cried so much when I fell sick crying to see my eomma...but when I saw him crying I never asked about her'

' Your eomma?' Jimin suddenly asked

' Yes...Appa never talks about her.... When I saw other kids in my class coming with their eomma...I fought with appa and he was so sad'

' Hey baby... Don't cry' Jimin was on his feet picking her up..when he saw the kid's lips wobbling....

' No...Cyra no cry' She shook her head... cupping her eyes as she bit her lips...' Appa will be sad if I cry'

' You love your appa so much right' Jimin asked softly

' I love him the most...' Cyra smiled ' Chimchim...will you help me find someone'

' Someone? Who?' Jimin frowned

' Come with me' Cyra wiggled out of his hold running towards a room

Jimin walked in behind her to a room...the walls were painted with pastel colors...the curtains drawn in...a single dreamcatcher hung in one corner... totally covered in dust...same was the condition with the rest of the furniture too...

' Who's room is this princess?'

' Appa's...but he doesn't use it...he sleeps with me' Cyra answered as she climbed on to a chair

' Why are we here then?'

' Appa comes here every night before sleeping...he takes out a photo from here and he smiles after seeing that'

' A photo?' Jimin asked puzzled...his senses alert monitoring every movements of the little girl... making sure she doesn't fall as Cyra pulled a photo frame out of the drawer

' What-'

' This...this ajusshi here makes my appa smile' Cyra said looking at the picture....' Even my appa looks so happy here.... Chimchim please find him for me'

Jimin looked one last time at Cyra before extending his hand taking the picture only to have his heart stop....his shaking fingers ran over the faces on the photo... his eyes stilling on their faces

Taehyung and Jungkook looked too happy....their genuine smile conveying how carefree they were at that time...how both were in a bliss in their own world...lost in themselves.....Jimin doesn't remember the last time he saw Jungkook this happy..... What went so wrong that you both had to break apart? But don't worry this time I will bring you both close...no matter whom I have to fight for that

He was still in his thoughts when Cyra tugged on his shirt

' Chimmyy do you know him?' She asked

' Yes princess' Jimin smiled... looking at the picture one last time before keeping it back in ' He is my friend'

' Really?' The girl squealed happily ' Then let's bring him here.. so that appa will be happy again

' Not so fast princess....we need to do it very carefully or else we might hurt your appa again' Jimin said as Cyra made an 'o' with her mouth

' What will we do?' She asked innocently

' First we need to get out of here before your appa comes and beat us' Jimin picked her up making her laugh as he walked out....a shiver running down his spine the second he walked into the living room and saw Taehyung walking in

Taehyung saw the way Jimin's face went pale...he looked at his daughter who too looked wide eyed at him

' What were you both upto?' Taehyung asked squinting his eyes

' Troubling Jinnie' Cyra lied quickly ' Appa pick me up' She screamed wiggling out of Jimin's arms and running towards her father..

Taehyung was quick to drop the bag in his hand and hug her... ' Told you not to run like that...what if you fall'

Cyra pulled back from the hug... looking at Taehyung with her very famous puppy eyes

' God...now don't show me those eyes' Taehyung groaned making her laugh...

Jimin looked at the father daughter duo....guilt settling in him thinking of how all he had hurt Taehyung all these year..when in reality he was already struggling in his life with everything that was going on.... Living as a single father that too at such a young age would never be easy...and Jimin knows it better than anyone....he had seen his eomma suffering alone with him..the only difference was that they had money to buy anything in a snap of a finger but Taehyung...he was struggling to make the ends meet

' Tae you came?' Jin walked out... pulling Jimin again out of his own world

' Yes hyung' Taehyung's smile vanished ' I hope she didn't trouble trouble you much'

' Don't be so formal Taehyung...we are at home now...' Jin scolded lightly ' And she is my little fairy...I have been handling her tantrums ever since she was a baby...'

Jimin looked at him... how much deep he would have to go to actually understand the dynamics of all these relations

' Appa what's that' Cyra suddenly spoke up looking at the bag that was now laying on Taehyung's side

A smile was soon to take it's place on Tae's lips as he picked the bag up... ' This? Didn't appa promised you to buy you something?'

The smile on Cyra's face widened as Taehyung took out a beautiful white frock... handing it over to her

' Yayyy appaa its so pretty' She cried out happily as he held the frock close

Jimin looked at Jin who was looking at them with warm eyes...and back to Taehyung who helped change Cyra into the frock.... To say she looked beautiful would be an understatement.....and in a single look the dress was clearly expensive.... Jimin's mind rushed back to the evening he first saw the child...that day he had speculated that the girl would be the spoiled princess of a rich dad...but he was wrong...not completely though.... The girl was clearly a princess of her dad who is ready to bring the whole galaxy if she asks for it.... Jimin remembered the day Yoongi bullied Taehyung because of his clothes...oh how much Yoongi would regret his behavior if he even for once had seen how Taehyung actually is..how he is ready to even starve himself for days just to make sure his daughter is not sleeping empty stomach

' Aigoo who is this angel am seeing here'

They all turned around to see Namjoon and Hobi walking in

' Samcheon..Jooniee' Cyra ran towards them and Hobi was quick to pick her up.. twirling her

' Look at you.. aren't you a pretty angel' Hobi bopped their nose ' Just like your appa'

Taehyung whipped his head towards Hobi who was now looking at him

' Where were you both?' Jin asked

' Was stuck in the rain' Namjoon sighed' We went to buy ice creams'

' What ice cream' Cyra's eager voice was heard

'My Cyra's favorite mint choco ice cream' Namjoon said grinning as the little girl clapped her hands

Jimin snapped his head towards Namjoon...his eyes wide when he remembered who else likes mint choco..Cyra will definitely get along with Kook... wait.. What if Cyra is the one who will help me bring Tae and Kook together

' Taehyung ah...you go freshen up and come.... I'll help her change her clothes' Jimin offered

Taehyung looked at Jin who nodded before he slowly walked away

' Jin hyung we need to talk' Jimin turned towards him

' About?' Jin asked

' You know about what' Jimin bit back...while Joon and Hobi looked at them puzzled

' Jimin' Jin sighed ' You will know when it's time.... you don't have to put your head into it'

' Why hyung?' Jimin's voice rose

' Come with me...Joonie will change your clothes' Namjoon took hold of the little girl's hand taking her in

' Taehyung told he had to let you know about Cyra just because she fell ill and he had no one...but you just now mentioned that you are seeing her since she was a baby? What's this all about hyung?' Jimin frowned ' Hyung...we used to share everything...every sadness.. every happiness then why not just this one?'

' Really Jimin?' Jin asked ' Do we really share everything?'

' Hyung?' Hobi called alarmed

' What Hoba...' Jin turned towards him ' We all have secrets.... Think among yourselves and yet if you feel like you did share every single bit of every sadness..every happiness in your life then come ask me again and I'll tell everything...until then don't even utter a single word about it'

Jimin and Hobi looked at each other before turning their heads to opposite sides..both of them guilty as they knew how correct Jin was.... They all had secrets in them...be it of their families or about themselves... Jimin did say the truth... they did share every happiness..but sadness? Never...

Jimin sighed walking towards where Cyra is...he might look like a mess now..but he had a clear goal...and that was to bring Taehyung and Jungkook together and he waa ready to go any extend for that
