Jungkook was woken up by the sun rays from the window softly kissing on his white creamy skinned face. He slowly opened his eyes to find himself in an unfamiliar room.
He look around the room which was not so big yet not so small.

He suddenly got up and sit straight but his head was aching so much, maybe because he was too drunk the last night.

"Where am I?"

He had no ideo how did he end up sleeping in an unknown room with a warm blanket neatly covering over him. All he could remember was that he was with his hyungs.

"You woke up finally!!"

A voice came from the door and there, he saw Jin entering the room with some clothes and handed him the towel he was holding.

"Here, Take this and wash yourself first."

"Thank you... but... how did I slept here?"

All Jungkook could get was a sigh from Jin.

"Come downstairs after you finish. We'll talk later. Here's some of Taehyung's clothes. You can change into this for a while"

Jin kept the clothes on the bed and went out of the room.

"Taehyung?? Did I--- oh my god!!!"

Jungkook almost fell from the bed just when he recalled everything that happened. He mentally slapped himself at how embarrassing it was. He couldn't even imagine himself that he literally hugged and clung on Taehyung and even whined at him saying how much he missed him.

"What have I done..!! Urghhh!!"
Jungkook face palmed himself with embarrassment.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jungkook smiled at himself as he wore the clothes Jin had given him. It smelled like Taehyung.

Jungkook went downstairs to find Jin preparing his breakfast in the kitchen. Jin signed him to sit on the chair as he gave Jungkook the pancake he prepared.

"Thank you. I like pancakes so much."

"Do you want more?" Jin smiled at him.

"I would love to", Jungkook gladly accepted the another pancake Jin had put on his plate.

"In case if you wanna know... Taehyung is not here now. He went to convenient store", Jin said as he sat down on the chair opposite to Jungkook.

"Actually... I'm- I'm really sorry for bothering you last night", Jungkook bit his lower lip and looked down in embarrassment.

"No no...Don't say such things. You're like my brother. It's ok. You don't need to say sorry for that", Jin smiled to which Jungkook sighed in relief and smiled back at him.
"Actually... I wanted to talk to you too"

"Yes Kim Seokjin-ssi"

"Kim Seokjin-ssi?? Yah! you can still call me Jin Hyung. Why are you acting for formal?"

"What?? Hyung?? Can I really call you that? Thank you so much."
Jungkook's eyes glowed up as he showed his bunny smile at how kind Jin was.

"You love him right??"

Jin suddenly asked out of nowhere starring at Jungkook's shocked eyes as if he was searching for the answer in his eyes.

"Huh..??"
Jungkook was left frozen.

"I can see it in your eyes Jungkook. I knew it from the first time I saw how you looked at him."

Jungkook hung his head down eyeing at his plate with a half eaten pancake.

"I know you love him even if you don't realize it by yourself... but... you also need to remember that you're already engaged Jungkook... and... if you truely love him, please don't try to break his heart again. I really tried my best to let him forget about you since you left him 16 years ago Jungkook..."

Jungkook snapped his head up and looked at Jin with a confused yet curious eyes.
16 years ago..?? What does he want to mean by that??

"What?? 16 years ago? I left him?? What--what do you mean?"

"Jungkook... Have you really--- Wait... you don't remember him..? Do you even know how hard it was for him to live without you..? How can you---"

Jin broke down into tears to which Jungkook passed him a tissue and hugged him. He couldn't remember anything but he was sure that Jin knows something about him and Taehyung.

"Jin hyung... I'm really sorry if I couldn't remember anything... but... can you please tell me everything... I really want to know"

"It's of no use now Jungkook... it's better if you don't remember it."

"But it'll always bother me if you don't let me know it. Please tell me everything", Jungkook was dying to know the story.

☆Flashback☆

16 years back :

Jungkook was whining at Taehyung that he doesn't want to go back to his house. It was already 8pm and Jungkook was still at Taehyung's house since when they both came back from school. Jin kept persuading Jungkook that he'll call his parents since it was late but Jungkook kept clinging on Taehyung saying he don't want to leave.

Jin couldn't do anything so he went back to kitchen to make something to eat for the two kids playing together giggling at each other happily when a car drove towards their gate. It was Jungkook's father who came to take Jungkook back but Jungkook kept saying he don't want to leave.

"Jungkook-ah... you can come back tomorrow and play with your Taetae again. You can go back for today... it's late", Jin tried to persuade him to which Taehyung pouted from behind.

"But... Appa said... we are going so far", Jungkook was in the verse of crying.

"Far?? Where?? Uncle Jeon... what is he saying??"
Jin asked Jungkook's father who was standing beside Jungkook who sighed and nodded.

"Yeah... He's right... We're moving to states tomorrow"

"But I don't want to go"
Jungkook pulled his hand out from his father's and ran towards Taehyung and hugged him.

"Jungkook we need to go"

"NO..!!"

"JUNGKOOK...!! COME HERE...!!"
His father shouted but it was of no use to the two body clinging at each other.

But the old man was strong enough to break the tight grip between those small hands and took away the crying kid leaving Taehyung behind being totally shattered.

It was already late in the midnight, but Jin tried his best to feed Taehyung who was not willing to eat anything but to cry.
Jin was busy making Taehyung's bed to let him rest when the phone started ringing. He asked Taehyung to bring the phone but,

"It's Eomma!"

Taehyung picked up the call quickly but he kept silent and dropped the phone on the floor while he stood frozen with his body shaking.

"Taehyung-ah, what happened?"

Jin suddenly picked the phone from the floor.

"Hello, is this Mr. Kim's family?"
A male voice spoken up.

"Yes? I'm his son"

"I'm Mr. Park, Mr. and Mrs. Kim caught on a car accident and I'm really sorry to say that they are no more"

"What??" Jin was not believing what he just heard. He looked at frozen Taehyung who probably heard the news. Jin pulled him on a tight hug as he started crying his eyes out.

☆End of flashback☆

"May be it was too hard for him to handle whatever happened on that single day. He went traumatized and didn't even spoke a single word after that day. In his nightmares, he would just cry and say you are dead. I tried really hard to make him forget about you. Mr. Park who found our parents was so kind to helped us to move to Seoul so that he could forget about those gloomy memories he had. His son Jimin had always been his company to cheer him up."

Jin brought a wooden photo frame and gave it to Jungkook whose eyes were flooded with endless tears streaming down his cheeks.

Jungkook took the frame and it was exactly the same as what he had seen at his backyard. His fingers trailed along Taehyung's face.

"So it was me who left him"

It all made sense now why he kept seeing the kid as his biggest nightmare, why he felt closer to him when he met him for the first time.
He hugged the frame tightly in his chest as he started to cry his eyes out to which Jin patted his shoulders.

"Listen Jungkook, he still don't know who you are. He came back to his normal self with so much effort, and I don't want to bring this up again when he's finally smiling and started being cheerful like he was. So, if you love him, if you truely want to let him be happy, I hope you won't remind him about the past and reveal who you are. And,you're already engaged, it's not like you can do anything now. I know it'll be even more hard for you now but, please don't try to break him twice. So... before it's too late... I hope you understand what I mean"

Jin patted Jungkook's shoulder who nodded his head while his arms still didn't let go of the picture he was holding.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was raining when Jungkook drove back to his home with such a heavy heart that he could never ever lift up. Endless tears kept flooding his eyes making his vision even more blurry.

He suddenly stopped his car as his eyes fixed on a figure standing in front of a bus stand who was smiling widely playing with the raindrops tapping on his long fingers.

"I hurt you a lot enough... I can't let those smile fade away again because of me. Tae... I won't hurt you anymore from now"
