Unbeknownst to the feelings of the other two, Hoseok continued his story, "I fell in love with her apart of the age gap. I didn't know when my affection turned to love...when I started to see her not as my sister rather as my girl. Everything turned out beautiful after that. For three years I tried hard to suppress my feelings for her but with every passing year my love for her increased and finally the day came when I couldn't control my feelings. I confessed her.", he paused to take a deep breath, "I confessed how much I love her...how much I need her in my life but..."

"But??", both the males spoke at once when Hoseok's voice trailed off.

Hoseok sniffled and then continued, "She rejected.", he chuckled dryly, "She rejected my love very politely. She has always seen me as her elder brother...her best friend...her path lighter. She has never thought about me like that. She tried to make me understand but I was admanant and I didn't listen to her. I announced my love for her infront of everyone. Shamelessly, I proclaimed that if she can't be mine then I won't let her be of anyone. In my madness I didn't cared about anyone...neither Namjoon nor uncle Kim. Namjoon was hurt and felt betrayed so he always tried to keep Amy away from me. I started to harass Amy mentally by calling her...texting her...and even trying to meet her outside the house...outside the school...her dancing classes. Because of my continuous bugging Namjoon hired a bodyguard and that was the huge mistake of his life which turned their life upside down... pushed my Amy to the world of darkness and pain."

Hoseok stopped speaking as tears started to fall from his eyes. Jimin placed his hand on his shoulder and patted just to calm him down.

"Now you know, Jimin, why I can't reciprocate your feelings.", Hoseok uttered those words with his head hung low and sniffling nose.

"But hyung...", Taehyung barged in before anyone could say anything, "...Amber doesn't love you then why you're still waiting for her?"

"Because I love her.", Hoseok's stern and loud voice echoed in the room.

He lifted his eyes and stared directly into Taehyung's eyes, "I love her since I understood what's love. I love her more then anything. For me the meaning of love is Amy and now its all that matters to me whether she love me back or not. She has suffered alot because of me and I owe my life to her.", he swirled his head towards Jimin, "That's why, Jimin, please don't waste your time on me. You're the most adorable and cutest person I have met in my life. Please...you deserve much better person then me. M not good enough for you."

They both shared a hurtful look with tearful eyes and dejected heart.

Taehyung stared at both of them and then cleared his throat, "What has happened to her, hyung, because of you?"

Hoseok startled a bit on hearing his question. All those horrenduous memories flashed infront of his eyes. He closed his eyes for a moment to calm down his  raging heart and overwhelmed emotions. As he closed his eyes a single tear escaped from his left eye and rolled down on his cheek.

"Its none of your business.", he uttered those words through gritted teeth as he remembered how Amber held Jungkook's arm to stop him from spilling anything.

"Hyung, tell us everything. We should know what's happening with you.", Taehyung tried to convince him but he stood up from his chair with a jerk.

"That's enough for you two. What has happened with Amy and what's happening with me its none of your concern anymore.", he spoke in a very stern voice and left the room.

"Hyung....", Jimin's soft pkeading voice trailed off.

"Its all over.", he spoke again grabbing Taehyung's attention.

"Chim.", Taehyung was undoubtedly surprised to see his PA...his best friend shedding tears. He immediately darted towards Jimin and held his shoulder.

"Chim, why you're saying like this?"

Instead of answering him, Jimin hugged him on his waist and rested his tear soaked face on his stomach.

"I lost him, Tae, I lost him for forever. I lost him for forever."

He kept on ranting those words like a chant. Taehyung was worried to see him like that. He has already seen his best friend to bawl his eyes out so its nothing new for him but the thing what he was repeating like a chant it was quite disturbing for him.

"No, Chim...no. You didn't lose anything. You still have the chance to win hyung's love. Don't lose hope so easily. Please, Chim! Calm down, please!", Taehyung tried his best to console his friend who was on the verge of heart break.

"How could you say that, Tae?", Jimin bolted as he pulled himself away from him, "How could you even say that I still have a chance to hyung's love? Didn't you hear what he just said? He loves Amber...he has always loved her and noone else and what has happened to her because of that hyung owe his life to her. Do you even got his words what he just tried to make clear?"

Jimin rambled out in sheer frustration and hurt.

"Hyung made it clear, Tae, that he'll never ever give me a chance to win his heart back. He made it clear that his heart...his love...his whole being is just for Amber and I didn't even stand a chance against her, Tae, its so damn clear...so damn clear."

He started to bawl his eyes out, hiding his face behind his palms. Taehyung knelt down on one knee infront of Jimin, coming to his eye level.

He uttered, cupping his palmed cheeks, "Chim...chim, please don't be like this. Please...please!"

He was heart broken to see his best friend in that state. He pleaded in choked voice.

Jimin didn't removed his hands from his face but leaned forward and rested his head on Taehyung's shoulder. His body was still trembling as he was crying his eyes out.

Taehyung rubbed imaginary circles on his back to calm him down. Slowly Jimin moved his hands from his face and wrapped them around Taehyung's body.

"Why it happened to me, Taeaah? Why its always me? First my parents... then my grandma and now Hoseok hyung. Why, Tae...why? I love him so much. Why can't he give me a chance to win his heart? Why can't he just move on from Amber after her rejection? Just tell me why...why?"

Taehyung was also crying to see his friend being so vulnerable and fragile.
Suddenly he clenched his teeth and his eyes turned dark and cold.

*'Kim Amber...you again came to my life and hurt me again. Last time you took my hyung away from me and this time its my Chimmie's hyung. Everytime I think...I think that you're not a bad person. Maybe I'm wrong in judging you but everytime you proove my thought wrong. You always hurt me by taking my special person from my life or hurting someone more special to my life. I'll never forgive you, Kim Amber, never ever and this time you have to pay back for your sins. Its enough now its time to face the consequences. This time it'll be you who'll lose an important person in your life....it'll be you who'll shed tears...just wait and watch, Miss Kim Amber.'*

A devilious smirk flashed on his lips. His eyes turned seriously dark as if he was all set to turn Amber's life upside down.

After few days when Amber and Jungkook were on their way for academy, she asked, "Do you get his number?"

Jungkook sighed and shook his head.

"Aaaggghhh.....", she grunted frustratingly, "...why he is doing this?"

"Amy...its not Mr. Kim's fault.", Jungkook stated, "Its your cousin who's not allowing him to share his number with you. As he thinks you might get into some problems with your brothers."

"No...I don't believe this.", she retorted immediately, "Hobi won't do anything like this with me. He must be also dying to talk to me but this Kim Taehyung won't be allowing him.", she humphed in annoyance.

"But why he'll do that, Amy?", Jungkook queried as he took a turn.

"Because he is jealous of me.", she blurted out.

Jungkook raised his eyebrows at her which made her to let out a sigh.

"Because Jinnie oppa spend more time with me...with us. Most of the time he stays in our house instead of with his brother that's why.", she clarified his doubt.

Jungkook nodded while getting his doubt cleared but then he asked again, "How did you know? Did he ever said something to you?"

Amber shook her head, "No...but I know. I can feel it and more over, JK, the fact is he hate us especially Joonie oppa."

Jungkook was about to open his mouth but before he could do that he was stopped by Amber, who immediately spat out, "Its a long story, JK. I'll explain it some other day. Now its time for my dance classes."

As the last words left from her mouth, the car also came to halt before the academy.

It was a normal day in Taehyung's office with the CEO and his PA working on their current project of talent hunt.

They have done everything that required for their project...arranged competitions in the selected cities... picked up the best singer...dancer and performer...and now they have to just shortlist some of the participants.

They were engrossed in their work when Jimin's phone vibrated. Taehyung lifted his eyebrow when he saw Jimin was not responding the call.

"Jiminaah, your phone is buzzing since morning. Why you're not attending it?"

"Because I don't want to.", Jimin replied in a cold tone without averting his eyes from the papers on the table.

Taehyung drop the marker on the table and leaned back on the chair, crossing his arms infront of his chest.

"You have been avoiding him since that day. Can I know why?", he asked sarcastically.

"No.", Jimin's answer was cut short and straight witout any hesitation.

His eyes were still stuck on the papers, shortlisting the names of the participants.

"Jiminaah!", Taehyung released his arms and leaned forward on the table, "When hyung always avoided you, you always prsued him but now when he himself calling you...you're showing your useless ego."

Jimin didn't answered him back. He sighed and again busied himself with the papers on the table. With his actions he made it clear that he didn't wanna talk about it.

"Chim, hyung is calling you so many times it means he wanna talk to you. Listen atkeast what he wanna say.", Taehyung muttered frustratingly.

Jimin put his pen down and averted his eyes towards Taehyung, "I know what he'll say. Except appologising he has nothing to say more and I don't wanna listen his sorry."

Jimin's voice was soft but Taehyubg could easily sense his annoyance in it.

"Chim, don't you think you're increasing the gap between you and hyung. You should try to stay close to him...should help him to move on from his past."

"I don't know, Tae but right now I'm not in a mood to handle his crap. I'm sorry but right now I'm a mess, I need some time to calm myself.", Jimin spoke as he hung his head low.

"Chi....", before Taehyung could complete his words, Jimin's phone buzzed again cutting his words in the middle.

Both of them stared at each other and this time Taehyung took the initiative. Receiving the call, he placed the phone near his ear.

"Hello, hyung."

"Taehyung, you received the call? Where is Jimin?", Hoseok rebuked back immediately.

"Hyung, Jimin...", Taehyung gazed at Jimin who shook his head mouthing the words 'I'm not here'.

"Where's Jimin, Tae? I wanna talk to him.", Hoseok sounded desperate.

*'What an irony?! When Jimin craved to talk to you that time you pushed him further and now when you need him he is avoiding you...'*

Taehyung chuckled mentally.

"Hyung...he is sitting infront of me.", Taehyung said making Jimin to frown and mouthed him 'What??' in sheer annoyance.

Taehyung nodded his head, closing his eyes softly, "I'm switching on the speaker, hyung. You can now talk to Jimin. He'll listen."

Jimin simply shrugged his shoulders moving his hands in air and then crossed his arms infront of his chest, humphed annoyingly.

Taehyung chuckled at him and switched on the speaker, placed the phone on the table.

"Jiminie....", Hoseok's soft mellow voice resonated in the cabin. Jimin immediately straighten on his seat. Both of them shared a look.

"I'm sorry...I'm sorry to hurt you, Jimminie but trust me I have never ever thought of hurting you in my dreams. Jiminie, you're the most adorable person I have ever met in my life...you're my very good friend, Jiminie....", Jimin gasped hard, "...please don't behave like this... please! Don't pretend like nothing is bothering you. Don't avoid me like this...we can talk and can come up to some solution. Please I don't wanna lose a friend like you. "

Jimin didn't answer anything. He kept his head hung low. Hot tears stung his eyes, dared to apill but he tried his best not to cry. Hoseok's words really hurt him to the core. He longed for his love but instead of that he was friendzoned.

"Jiminie, are you listening? Please say something.", Hoseok demanded desperately.

Taehyung grabbed the phone and uttered, "Hyung, Jimin has listened everything and don't worry he is fine but he need sometime. I hope you can understand, hyung."

Hoseok hummed in response and reluctantly hung up the call.

Taehyung sighed, moving his hand in his hairs. He kept the phone on the table and slided it towards Jimin.

"I know what you're feeling, Chim but I think this is the right thing. If you want to win hyung's heart you have to be with him."

Jimin sniffled and nodded. Taehyung trotted closer to him and placed his hand on Jimin's shoulder.

"Its hard but if you don't wanna lose hyung you have to endure this pain."

Jimin didn't speak anything. He just kept sniflling with his head hung low. Taehuung encircled his arms around his shoulder and rested his chin on Jimin's crown, pulling him closer to himself.

*'Now just watch Miss Kim Amber how I'll get back my both hyungs from you. This time you'll reap the fruits that you have sown.'*

Unaware of those revengeful thoughts of Taehyung, Amber was busy in her dance practice. She was totally engrossed in her practice. Jungkook was watching her in awe. He was mesmerised by the fact that how her personality totally get changed whenever she dance.
