You were playing with the case of your phone out of nervousness while the taxi driver took up the hill towards the mansion.

Taehyung's and Jimin's cars were ahead of you while you and Sira had decided to not go with them, being in need for each others company and to share a bit of private time together.

After you left from Jimin's house she had called you, letting you know what had happened with Taehyung and that he too had asked of her to go with him to the mansion for moral support. Of course she hadn't told him anything regarding his father's health condition and had let him believe it was only about the situation with their step mother that he wanted to talk about, since she had texted Taehyung too, letting him know about the fact that she had confessed everything to Mr Park about all the things she had ever done.

Taehyung hadn't took the new any calmer than Jimin but Sira had managed to keep him from running away from the situation and she was truly hoping inside that she chose the right thing to do.

Once you two had met in the taxi in which she came to pick you up, Jimin whom was also waiting for you had made a small protest but eventually as Taehyung whom had explained to him that she was stubborn and had rejected going at the same car with him, Jimin accepted the fact that you two needed to be together even though that put him into suspensions again.

On the road there you managed to share your worries and you couldn't help but express your nervous feelings about this meeting and how it would turn out for the psychology of the two.

Once the driver brought the vehicle to a stop you looked at each other before giving a quick hug of support and stepping out of the car, only to notice the black vehicle of Mr Park and their driver already there.

"Thank you." You payed the driver before you and Sira quietly approached Taehyung and Jimin whom seemed a little stiff as the driver opened up the back door only for NeeRin to step out of the car. Mr Park following right behind her.

"Greetings father. I hope we didn't let you wait for to long." Taehyung bowed his head, formal words escaping coldly out of his lips. Lips that were slightly trembling and he was trying hard to not let it show.

Non of them looked him in the eyes as you noticed, Jimin too greeting him while keeping his eyes low and NeeRin didn't seem to pick up her eyes from the ground either, making the atmosphere instantly heavy.

"It's really nice to meet you again Mr Park. Miss Park. Please, let's go inside." You greeted them too, taking charge of the situation in an attempt to lighten this moment a bit and take this to where you wanted it to go and that was a positive conversation between the three.

To your surprise Mr Park smile as he greeted only you and Sira, as if he never even saw or heard Taehyung or Jimin and then he followed you towards the door which you hurried to go unlock recalling still the password to enter.

Everyone got inside silently till Sira started commenting the interior with enthusiastic words pretending as if she was stepping inside for the first time and her smile somehow made Mr Park's cold face smoothen a bit.

"That vase is my favorite. My late wife and I had bought it together. It's not expensive but it means a lot to me." He explained about a vase that Sira had pointed out while the other three beside you were looking at their feet shameful. Taehyung and Jimin already understanding that their father was mad at them.

" Mr Park. How about you go take a seat and me and Sira will go prepare some coffee for you." You offered, taking action again as you couldn't bare seeing Jimin's and Taehyung's expressions that looked as two kids that were getting punished and they hadn't even seen the start of it yet.

" That's a great idea. NeeRin help the girls out.. You two, please follow me to the office." He smiled politely as he was talking to you but once he directed his eyes to them, Mr Park's expression changed to a disappointing one and that gaze hurt even you.

The two soon did as he asked of them. Mr Park having stepped out of the living room first and Jimin coming and giving you a hug before going.

"It's gonna be okay. You can do it." You whispered in his ear before he pulled away and his eyes looked in yours as if he was trying to extract energy from them before finally following Taehyung whom after slightly brushing his hand into Sira's had followed his father without many apparent hesitations.

Once Jimin entered inside the office he closed the door behind him and lined up with his brother in front of the desk were their father had took a seat and was facing them coldly. Two small envelopes were placed right before him, which Mr Park split, leaving one in front of each chair before telling them to go take a seat.

They looked at each other for a moment before doing so and glancing at the two golden colored envelopes with curiosity.

"This is the reason I called you here. However I would like you to listen to me before opening those." Mr Park spoke up, the eyes of Taehyung and Jimin glued on him, not daring to look away from his demanding gaze that asked for their attention.

"I am really disappointed in you both. I can't lie. I am disappointed, hurt and surprised for all the things she told me. I never saw that coming and I feel like a fool for it." He admitted, his words hitting their hearts as knifes as they both truly never wished to harm him in any way.

" I got married again mostly because of business benefits. I tried to be fair and I respected her as i would respect my own daughter. I never wished for anything bad for her and obviously neither for you. I all my life have tried nothing but to make you two happy. And now i understand why everything that is happening to me. I understand why i deserve it. I own you an apology. "

The two looked at him with wide eyes as Mr Park stood up and bowed down to them, surprising them both and making them flew of their chairs.

Mr Park was indeed hurt and disappointed but that was because the truth had made him realize how much his sons had suffered and he thought of himself as responsible of their pain. If he hadn't marry her, his sons would have been spared the pain. He was hurt and disappointed in himself for failing to see the truth and their pain, for losing connection with the only people he had left for which he had kept living after the devastating for him death of the only woman that he ever truly loved in his life. Their mother. He had promised to her that he would take good care of them. That he would provide the best for them and make sure they never face hard and sad moments of hardship like the two had but he realized yesterday when NeeRin confessed to him everything that he hadn't managed to really keep his promise to her. He had let her down and he didn't even know about it. That itself was a big hit for the already weak condition of Mr Park but as he closed himself on his room after, he understood more your words and the reason why he truly needed to speak with them before it gets to late.

"You must hate me, don't you? I am the one that gave you the most hurtful memory of your life the day i brought her home and introduced her as my wife. I am truly sorry my son." He spoke to Jimin as he lowered his head more, his action breaking Jimin inside and making him run next to him and pull him up,soon slamming himself on his embrace, crying.

" You should be the one hating me. Please don't be like this. Don't blame yourself. It hurts. I am so sorry. It's my fault. My fault. I am so sorry." Mr Park slowly placed his hands around Jimin whom was now loudly sobbing in his arms and then he looked at his side towards Taehyung, whom was silently letting his tears to roll down his cheek.

" Taehyung. I - "

" No! "He abruptly cut off his father's words as his fists clenched at the side of his body.

" You can't just come here and apologize to us. You can't just come here and show us how much you still love us. How can you do this to me. Please, just yell, just hate me. Just do something to free me from this hellish guilt and blame. If you were a little meaner it would be easier to justify my self. Why. Why does it hurt so much. Why do I have to be the only one that hates me?!!! "Taehyung burst out as he broke on the floor, showing his feelings clearly. Feelings regarding both his father and Jimin, as their kindness was killing him, making him feel like a demon between angels. Like someone that unlike them, couldn't forgive so easily no matter how much he wanted to.

He knew well how much he hurt and he took pride and value on his pain because if he wouldn't then who would. The things had turned out to be different than he thought however and that had messed him up. He found justice in his actions before. He thought of them right because his pain justified it all and now that he can see the other side and the pain of others too, his pain is nothing special.
Even though his pain had still it's value he now blamed himself and thought he might have deserved it after all. And while he has all those feelings inside, all that hate and pain here his father was, showing kindness and empathy to him. To someone he currently believed that he doesn't deserve anything and that truly hurt him.

"How would it help if I yelled at you Taehyung. You already know your mistakes son and I am proud of you. Of making it this far and realizing them. I could never hate any of you because just like you two do. I love you." Mr Park let go of Jimin and grabbed his hand pulling him down where Taehyung was and then he pulled them both at a hug that the three shared for a while. The tears flew till the dried, both feeling a wave of relief that they needed. A wave of love that made them feel at home.

"It's gonna be alright from now on. Even when I will be gone you will have each other. Promise me. Promise me you won't live through such pain again and that you will always talk to each other and be there for each other. Promise me you will try to fix each other even when I am no longer around. "He asked of them once the situation had calmed down a bit and they both pulled away to meet his eyes.

" That's gonna take a long while father."

"Please promise me Taehyung. Please." He begged them with his eyes and Taehyung and Jimin looked at each other before giving their words to him only for Mr Park to smile brightly at them and pat their hairs as he used to do when they were kids.

"That's all i needed to hear. I am so lucky to have such great sons." He told them, his words unchanged through time. Words that cared nostalgia and brought back two childish smiles of happiness in the faces of Taehyung and Jimin.

Two smiles that the envelopes laying on the desk would destroy if they to read them but Mr Park had changed his decision. They didn't need to know about his death. They needed to know about his feelings and love for them. And he would have never known how much they needed this moment if it wasn't for you and your friend that had pursued him.

He was truly thankful for the existence of two such good people in his sons' lives and even though he knew he wouldn't make it to see them married, Mr Park truly wish that they would marry with the two girls he so much approved and was fond of. That being you and Sira.
