The whole University was in chaos...it was finally the Graduation day...and after the ceremony will be the College fest....

The graduating students were already in the auditorium.....ready to get their certificates while the rest of them prepared for their performances and some others helped in the decoration...

But no matter in which of the above category it was... everyone had a common topic to discuss and that was nothing other that about Taehyung and Jungkook

The tension between them was never hidden..but the events happening recently with the kings and Taehyung was really something worth of attention.... The whole group was in havoc..... Hobi and Jimin could be seen roaming around with Taehyung with the three of them leaving as soon as the classes are over... then there is Jin and Namjoon... always appearing with furrowed brows....then Yoongi.... about whom no one has any idea about.. man could be found lurking around with a headset or just in some music rooms.. writing something...there are even days on which no one even gets to see him and then the Jeon Jungkook....who looks as if he is walking on egg shells... way too alert....his face stoic... never talking to anyone.. always alone....

But what beat all these was the recent fight between Taehyung and Jungkook in the middle of the university where both of them unknowingly claimed that they once were in love....the video of which was spreading like fire in the university students' page...which was further fueled up by Jungkook's argument with Prof Choi and his revelation of how he basically owns the whole university....

Even in the middle of these hot and interesting interactions no one failed to notice the subtle glances both Taehyung and Jungkook steals of each other...when the other one is not looking... No one failed to notice the shine in Jungkook's eyes everytime he sees Taehyung nor the relief on Taehyung's face every time he sees Jungkook

And amidst all these the Kings tried to keep their loved ones safe... just like how now Jimin was on his way to keep his promise to Taehyung.... Two days ago when Taehyung came to him asking for that favor...what Jimin didn't expect was Taehyung to turn out to be Jungkook's neighbor...nor the fact that he was finally going to show himself in front of Jungkook during the fest and for that he needed Jimin to do whatever in his power to limit the student access to the participants names to the hosts of the fest only....

Even though Jimin didn't expect that to work fully but promising a whole day to be pampered by his very dear cousin Eunwoo worked...and the plan was successfully set off.... because we all know how Eunwoo's charms and the label of being their senior can work wonders

But currently Jimin was running all over the university in search of Jungkook.....at first not seeing the said boy was a relief since the chances of him knowing about Taehyung's performance will be low..but since the graduation is already over and the performances already started not finding Jungkook anywhere was concerning

Jimin was searching in the other wing of the college building which was closed to students because of the fest when someone pulled him by his wrist pushing him inside a room... The door closing behind them...with two arms around his waist and a pair of lips on his neck..

' Yoongi' Jimin breathed out.... throwing his head back...his fingers interlacing with the elder's hair

' Where were you?' Yoongi asked... raising his head..their bodies pressed against each other's ' I didn't see you when I got my certificate'

'I had some work...' Jimin said...his member hardening with Yoongi's erection rubbing against him ' Hy-hyung not now..'

' What are you upto Jimin' Yoongi stopped every single of his movements ' I have been noticing you for a long while now'

' I can't tell you...not now' Jimin said... looking deep in Yoongi dark orbs

' Jimin ah...' Yoongi called softly..the whole air shifting as he caressed Jimin's cheeks ' You should have trusted me....you should have known me better'

' Hyung?' Jimin frowned

' I have never allowed anyone as close I allowed you Jimin ah....' Yoongi's voice wavered ' I have let you seen pieces of my mind no one had even known of...I had told you every untold stories of my heart..no one had even heard of...I had let you see me in my most vulnerable form... begging you to give me a chance to show how beautiful love is...to show you how deep my love for you is...every time you use me for your pleasure..... I had understood you everytime you refused to be mine...even though you wanted to keep me just for you.... Then why didn't you understand me Jimin? Why didn't you see the real me everytime I lashed out...why didn't you see my tears everytime I went bersek'

' What are you talking about hyu-'

' I love you' Yoongi cut him off...' Atleast don't ignore that Jimin'

Yoongi dashed out of the room leaving a gaping Jimin behind...

' What was he talking about?..What did he mean-'
Jimin's phone rang..his eyes widening when he realized that he didn't find Jungkook yet

' Hello Tae?' Jimin said running out of the room..the phone pressed against his ear

' Where are you hyung?' Taehyung's worried voice was heard ' Did you find him? The next one is my performance'

' I'll be there in a minute Tae... relax and do well' Jimin tried to sound confident as he ended the call

He stopped running.. dialling in another number that he had been trying to call for the past two hours... Relief spreading over him when finally the phone rang and came the voice from the other side

' Hyung'

' Where are you Kook...you need to come to the auditorium now-'

' Am near the University gates hyung... I'll be there soon'

Even though Jimin was glad that Jungkook reached...he didn't fail to notice how tired Jungkook sounded.... He shook his head... pushing away all the thoughts as he left to the Auditorium

❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

Taehyung's heart was beating crazily as the music started....he could feel every single stare he was getting and the only relief was that the lights over him were dimmed so that his face won't be revealed till he finishes the performance.....

You left me
Took those memories with you
But even now, I can't let you go, let you go
Is that all you have to say?

His eyes travelled all over the place... searching for a special someone.. when he saw Jin Namjoon and Hobi in the front row

One word, that's it?
If ever you regret this
Won't you let me know?
Let me know?

❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

Jungkook ran in through the gates...he could already hear the music from outside itself and he was dead sure that if he gets late by even a second he will miss his bear's performance and no..he was not gonna let that happen

' Jungkook! Finally you came' Jimin popped out of nowhere.. holding onto his wrist dragging him in... 'The performance already started...it will end if we don't rush'

Jungkook snapped his head towards Jimin ' Whose performance?'

Jimin totally ignored the question as he pushed open the auditorium door... letting Jungkook in....with him following

Jungkook saw how the students turned around when the door opened...with them now staring at him...but his whole attention was on the singer on the stage whose face was again hidden

Am I the only one like this?
Are you okay if I'm with someone else?
Let's take it way back, slowly
Make it feel better, yeah, make it forever

Don't say it's okay
Said I'm alright, said I'll be fine
I'm sorry, they're all lies, please don't leave
Please don't go, so far away

The melody..the voice..the feel.. everything was beyond perfect as if the Singer was literally living through it...and it successfully made Jungkook remember of the time he had written this for Taehyung....on his birthday after their break up...

Fine, I will be honest with you
Put it all out there
I think about you all the time
Where you are, who you're with
Lost without you, baby

Jungkook really does feel lost without Taehyung... His heart bleeds for the younger.... He came to a stop just in front of the stage where his neighbor was still singing... anticipating for the face reveal when the spot lights came up.... illuminating the singer's face

I wish you would love me again
No, I don't want nobody else
I wish you could love me again, again....

Jungkook froze.... sucking in a sharp breath the moment his eyes locked with Taehyung's...who looked nothing less than an angel under the lights.. his voice heavenly and his gaze deadly addicting.... Jungkook had his heart beating out of his chest as he saw Taehyung's lips moving.. still singing...the truth of Taehyung being his neighbor all these months shaking him to the core

I wish you would love me again
No, I don't want nobody else
I wish you could love me again, again

The first tear fell from Jungkook's eyes....with the whole auditorium erupting into loud cheers....

Taehyung bowed...his eyes still locked with Jungkook's..both of them dying to be in each other's arms.

Taehyung ran out of their.. through the backstage..which seemed to pull Jungkook out of whatever daze he was in...and follow him out

' Jimin ah..come' Hobi held on to his hand... pulling him with him..and they along with Jin and Namjoon rushed out

' Taehyung stop' Jungkook yelled as he ran through the corridors chasing Taehyung..... finally catching up to him.. pulling him into the music room

Taehyung's chest heaved as he looked at a disheavled Jungkook...

' Y-you' Jungkook stuttered badly ' You are my-'

' Your bear...' Taehyung completed him..his own eyes glistening with tears..... the rest of his hyungs too coming into the room...

' That's why you never let me hear your voice' Jungkook sniffled

' No shit Sherlock' Taehyung chuckled lightly

' You have been there all this while... beside me... silently caring for me?' Jungkook recalled how every time his neighbor was there... sending in cute notes to cheer him up....how his neighbor was there listening to his miseries....his late night rants and whinings

' Told you...no matter what... I'll be there... just a call away' Taehyung reminded

' How...why didn't you tell me?' Jungkook took a step forward....

' I couldn't' Taehyung whispered...' I was selfish'

' You are...' Jungkook scoffed ' You really are selfish'

' I know' Taehyung nodded ' So are you.... You oh so selfishly decided to bear all the pain alone for the rest of your life huh?'

' So do you' Jungkook deadpanned...

' Jungkook' Taehyung took in a shaky breath

' I know what you are going to say' Jungkook said...while his hyungs stood totally puzzled at what was happening

' Listen to me' Taehyung's voice broke ' Please'

' Tae-'

' I....lied to you'

' I know'

' I didn't have a choice'

' I know Tae'

' Cyra-'

' Taehyung I know-'

' Appa' The door opened as Cyra ran in straight towards her appa who had his arms open for her...

Everyone except Taehyung were surprised on seeing her here...but what shocked them most was the man who brought her

' Yoongi?' Hobi gasped...his eyes wandering between Cyra and Yoongi....

' Hyung?' Jungkook never expected to see Yoongi and Cyra together...

'Appa...how was your perf-per'

' Performance' Taehyung chuckled seeing her struggle

' Yes that...how was it?' Cyra asked excitedly

' It was good' Taehyung smiled 'But I missed you'

' See!! I told you we needed to hurry!' Cyra pouted looking at Yoongi who was still at the door ' Yuyoon always comes late'

' Forgive your Yuyoon my angel' Yoongi made a sad face

' Buy me ice cream' Cyra demanded cutely making Yoongi laugh

' Anything for you'

The rest of them were not able to believe what they just saw.....Min Yoongi laughing with Taehyung's daughter??? Like did they skip a whole chapter or something?'

' Hyung' Taehyung called ' Thanks for bringing her here...I was really feeling very jittery'

' I know Tae' Yoongi smiled lovingly making Jimin just rub his eyes before looking at him

' What the fuck is even happening!!' Hobi blurted out only to earn a hard glare from Yoongi

' Don't curse in front of the child'

' Sorry' Hobi mumbled

' Cyra..come princess...Jinnie will show you around' Jin said picking her up

' Hyung... please be careful' Taehyung said

' I'll be Tae'

' Jungkook' Taehyung looked at Jungkook the instant Jin left

' I know everything....' Jungkook sighed ' Taehyung...I know about Cyra'

' How?' Taehyung frowned

' I had a talk with appa.... just before I came here' Jungkook saw the fear in Taehyung's eyes ' Don't be scared.... nothing happened..Am fine'

' No...wait' Jimin stepped forward ' I don't understand a thing that's happening here..so please... enlighten me... I mean..okay I just some days back got to know that Tae and Jungkook are neighbors...but what's happening now... What about Cyra? And Yoonie You?'

' I'll explain' Taehyung voiced out turning towards Jungkook ' On the day of the entrance exam...there was something that I needed to tell you Jungkook....I tried my best to let you know about that but you were in a hurry to meet your hyung and...then when we met it was too late'

Jungkook nodded... indicating him to continue..

' Jungkook...' Taehyung took in a deep breath ' That day...at the rooftop...when we first met...it was not a coincidence'

' What?' Jungkook was demented

' If you remember....I was a transfer student to our highschool...and the two years I had there...I had kept a keen eye on you....' Taehyung hesitantly looked at Jungkook who was utterly confused ' I had a happy family...Appa...eomma...me and my Sohyun noona..a perfect family with me being pampered beyond limits... until that accident that changed our lives... When I woke up at the hospital...the only family I had was my noona... After the funeral my appa's brother came and took us to his home in Daegu....'

' Everything was fine at first...my aunt was a very kind woman and her kids considered me and my noona like their own family... But then uncle started showing his true colors and that's when we came to know how abusive he was... He used to beat up his wife and kids...and we were a new addition to that list... After much struggle... Aunt somehow managed to send her daughter and my noona to a boarding school...with me and her son back at home... I had to shuffle studies and part times...but it was bearable...Hyung was a huge support and Aunt loved me like my own eomma... She used to tend my and hyung's bruises after uncle beats us....there were even days when aunt will pass out with all the pain with me and Hyung left to take care of her'

Jungkook took a step forward seeing which Taehyung stopped but he stilled when the elder held his hand.. guiding him towards the bench making him sit on it... their hands still linked as Jungkook gave a soft smile ' You were so brave...'

Taehyung was still in shock...he never expected Jungkook to say that to him.. atleast no now ' You won't say that after hearing the whole story'

' That's for me to decide ' Jungkook caressed his cheeks

' What happened next?' Hobi asked

' Then... years passed by and my Sohyun noona for the first time expressed her wish to come see us... which we clearly knowing about the situation at home denied.... Uncle had his own company which was on the verge of going bankrupt and life was falling apart..
It was my 14th birthday...aunt and hyung wished me early in the morning before me going to my school....the whole day went by without much hustle... I was happy... way too happy knowing that uncle won't be home and we will cut my birthday cake and was running back home to meet my hyung and aunt when..' Taehyung's voice wavered as Jungkook's hold on his hand tightened

' When I heard the cries of my noona who came home to meet us despite our disapproval... Uncle was there...his hand gripping on her hair... angry red finger marks on her cheeks as her nose bleed... Everything that happened next was in a blur...I remember me running in pushing him away..with him beating me up...noona trying to stop him as he pushed her down... kicking her stomach.... I remember hearing her pleads..and then I saw the empty beer bottles and the next thing I remember is the blood dripping down my hand with the bottle burried deep in my uncle's abdomen.... I heard rushed footsteps..with my hyung pulling me away... making me leave the bottle...I looked at his body that was on the ground... multiple stab wounds on his body...which I don't even remember me doing in the peak of helplessness and anger... I heard Aunt asking hyung to take me and Sohyun noona somewhere for the time being...'

Taehyung blinked off his tears and looked at his hyungs who had their eyes wide... clearly showing the shock ' Hyung made Sohyun noona go back.. and took me to one of his friend's place.... I was there... for a whole week...as Aunt and hyung did everything in their reach to keep me safe...'

' Did the police found out?' Jimin interrupted

' No...The company my uncle owned actually was in a partnership with his best friend... both of their deeds too dark and since the investigation about his death would have blown their cover...his best friend oh so successfully used his power to suppress the case.... adding this to one of the unsolved cases... with my uncle's murder forgotten soon by everyone' Taehyung shrugged....

' Even though that was a blessing..but who was this best friend of his who so easily covered up this whole thing with his power...' Hobi asked totally baffled ' I mean.. Its good that he covered up all the mess...but who is this man with so much power and influence?'

Taehyung took a quick glance at Jungkook before looking back at Hobi ' Jeon Junho'

Jungkook's hands slipped off Taehyung's the moment he heard the name....his mouth agape as he stared at Taehyung.... slowly standing up

' Junho?' Jimin gasped ' He was your uncle's best friend?'

' Tae' Jungkook voice came out dry  ' W-who was your uncle'

Taehyung bit his lips as he too stood up... stealing a quick glance at Namjoon Jin and Yoongi who were silent... before hanging his head low... fiddling with his fingers... ' Jungkook...I-'

' You can tell us Tae' Hobi said softly.. thinking that may be Taehyung was feeling overwhelmed

Taehyung looked at Jungkook...' H-he was K-'

' Kim Seohan....my appa'

Jungkook felt his whole body freezing at that as he whipped his head towards Namjoon...who had his jaws clenched

' Your appa?' Hobi was totally shaken up ' But we thought your appa died in some acc-'

' He was murdered' It was Taehyung ' I killed him..'

' You didn't had any other choice Taehyung..you did that to protect Sohyun noona' Namjoon argued

' But that doesn't change the fact that am a murderer... And it will never change the fact that because of me my aunt became a widow.. because of me my Joonie hyung and Jennie noona lost their father..'

' No it won't' Namjoon held his shoulder ' Nothing will ever change that truth..but it won't also hide the truth that because of you..your noona was saved... because of you...eomma and Jennie could live a safe life.. because of you I lived a safe life with my eomma and sister...you might have killed him..but none of us resent you for that Taehyung...it won't feel good to say or hear..but you saved us by killing him'

' Y-you are his cousin?' Jungkook suddenly blurted out pulling Taehyung and Namjoon out of their emotional moment

' I am...' Namjoon nodded

' None of us knew it...why?' Hobi asked ' What happened after that one week Tae?'

' I will say' Namjoon spoke up ' When Junho got to know about appa...he was instantly there... trying to cover up everything...but what he didn't expect was for eomma to turn the tables against him...she clearly asked him to leave us alone once the funeral is done or else she'd present every illegal dealings of them to the police the very instant... He tried to scare her by threatening to take her life..but eomma had always been a strong woman...and Junho just to save his reputation decided to turn over the whole company in eomma's name and in turn took all evidences from her... Eomma with her hardwork started raising the business and thus SYK entertainments came into existence.... But what we didn't expect was for Junho to find out about Taehyung... '

' Till date none of us know how..but some of his men came to our home searching for Tae.. and thankfully he was still at my friend's place...and just after that we send him off into hiding for a whole year before he transferred to Yongsan high school... Eomma made the arrangements for him to be transferred...his parents' accident and him getting the scholarship just made things easy...'

' I wanted hyung and aunt to live a happy life without any fear' Taehyung took over ' And me being with them would have just added to their struggle.. thus after getting into Yongsan I severed every connection with them...but I never expected to see Namjoon hyung again ever.... until you took me there Jungkook'

Jungkook let every single part of the story settle in his mind one by one..when he suddenly remembered something

' Why did you say that our meeting was never a coincidence?'

' That one year.. which I went into hiding....I found out about my parents accident' Taehyung revealed ' My life was becoming a mess and I was loosing control over myself... doing all sorts of things a lost teenager would do... wandering around the streets... painting graffiti on the walls... almost getting caught by the police...it all went on until one day Yeri eomma....( Namjoon's eomma) as I used to calle her...came to meet me... revealing how she was burdened with guilt for hiding the truth for this long from me...'

' What truth?' Jungkook intervened

' The truth that I became an orphan because of your appa Jungkook!' Taehyung's voice was filled with venom as he looked at Jungkook....who was rooted to his place..his whole face pale ' Jeon Junho killed my appa just to save his fucking company! Just to save his fucking reputation and name he decided to end my whole family.... Jeon Empires...which came into existence because of the success of it's first hospital was because of my appa..who was the head surgeon there...But he somehow got to know about Junho's organ trafficking and decided to confront him.. threatening him to expose his truth to the world...and look where he ended up...' A sob left Taehyung as he continued

' I hated him...hated him with everything in me.. I wanted to see his ruin...' Something in Taehyung's voice shifted at that ' Once you overcome the fear of blood and gore....you won't hesitate seeing it all over again..'

Everyone in the room felt a shiver run down their spine hearing Taehyung's emotionless voice

' Same was with me everytime I see Junho...I wanted him dead...I wanted his whole family dead!' Jungkook gulped seeing the hatred in Taehyung's eyes as he looked straight at him

' You wanted to kill me?' Jungkook breathed out

' I did...' Taehyung spat ' And for that...I asked aunt to transfer me to the same school as Junho's precious son...I observed you for a whole year.. noted every single habits of yours before I decided that it's time to get close to you...that it's time to ruin your entire life just like how your dad did with mine...I wanted to see you suffer alone... wanted to make you feel like dying every second of your life...but' Taehyung's voice broke as he wiped off his tears...

' Look what you did to me Koo' His voice softened.... pain oozing out of each syllable ' Look how you made me fall so deeply in love with you that I was ready to forget every revenge I had ever wanted.... Look how you made me an unworthy piece of trash who fell weak in front of his love that he was ready to back off from giving his appa his deserving justice...look how ungrateful of a son you made me'

Tears streamed non stop as Taehyung's words drowned in an ocean of misery ' Getting closer to you was my choice... but falling for you was nothing I ever planned...but the more time I spent with you..the more I understood how precious of a human being you were...And as time passed by I wanted to kill myself for wishing something horrible to happen with someone like you Kook... I understood that you were nothing like Junho..and just like me you were also suffering.... I wanted revenge Jungkook and you...you showered me with all the love in the world...I was just a lost soul.. thirsty for blood.. but you...you became my home...my safe place... giving a meaning to my life... You gave me a whole family in the form of your hyungs...in the form of Yoongi hyung who was ready to go any extend just for me...'

' So....all that was really a game?' Jungkook asked.. his eyes bloodshot ' The promises....the dreams... everything was a part of your revenge?'

' No...no Jungkook' Taehyung shook his head vigorously... ' It was not-'

' If it was not a fucking game then why the fuck did you leave me!' Jungkook shouted making Taehyung whimper as he tried to hold his hand ' If you really did love me then who is Cyra's eomma!'

' Sohyun noona' Taehyung yelled back...the whole room going silent as Namjoon plopped down onto a chair...a shaky breath leaving him

' What?' Jungkook blinked

' Cyra is Sohyun noona and Jaewook hyung's daughter!'
