After having a heated argument with Jungkook, Taehyung makes his way out of the office area. To go back to the residential area, you have to cross a big and beautiful lawn.

The artist decides to wander a little bit and calm his throbbing head before going inside. Nature always calms him down.

He walks past a series of trees. This area of the lawn is comparatively cooler and so many trees almost make it look like woods.

Taehyung smiles, calming down a little. He keeps walking for a few minutes before he hears two distinct voices talking. He decides to follow because it sounds more like an argument rather than a normal conversation.

When he is close enough, he clearly hears Jimin's complaining voice, "But hyung, everytime its you who tops. Let me at least do it once."

"Chim, you are too much of a bottom to top." Hoseok's laugh is clearly audible. Taehyung, who is standing a few meters away, does not know how he is supposed to react. Should he feel guilty because he is eavesdropping? Or should he laugh at the context of their argument.

"Come on, hyung. I can definitely top. I even have abs. See!" Jimin says, pulling up his shirt to show it to the older. Taehyung feels embarrassed because of this and quickly turns around to leave. He takes a few steps when Hoseok's voice stops him, "Taehyung! You tell me, do you think Jimin is a top material?"

The artist looks at his ex friends. He has spoken to Jimin a couple of times but not with Hoseok. He never thought that the first topic he would be discussing with him would be related to sex. "Ahhh... I'm not sure if my opinion matters in this." He says, rubbing the back of his neck.

"Huh? Of course it does. You're our friend after all." Hoseok says, approaching him. Taehyung is surprised. He didn't expect the older to say that.

Before he could even register, he is embraced by the older. He is surprised and confused as he looks at Jimin who is smiling. He slowly wraps his hands around Hoseok's body. "You just disappeared from my life without even telling me, Tae. I never thought I'd meet you again. I'm so happy to see you. I missed you." The older pulls away and gives him that pretty smile that can literally lift up a depressed person's mood too.

Taehyung cannot believe his words. He never thought he was that important in anyone's life. Well, except Jungkook's. He knew the ravenette had feelings for him.

"I... I missed you too, hyung. I often wondered where you were. I honestly thought... you'd be a dance instructor somewhere. I definitely did not expect to see you here." Taehyung laughs at the end of his sentence. Hoseok laughs too, "Guess fate had different plans for me." He puts his arm around Jimin's shoulder and pulls him into himself, "But I'm happy now. I got this angel so its all good. I can do anything just to be with him."

"Shut up, hyung." Jimin slaps Hoseok's chest, feeling shy all of a sudden.

"Aww... you guys are so whipped for each other." Taehyung coos at the couple who blush. Jimin looks so adorable while being shy. He can't believe he used to be scared of the shorter male back in college.

"Yeah, like you and Jungkook are for each other." Jimin shoots back, taking Taehyung by surprise.

"It's not l-like that." Taehyung says, turning a shade deeper.

"Your moans a week ago said something different." Jimin doesn't stop teasing and the artist just wants to smack his own head.

"Come on, Tae. Just admit it. I noticed you and Jungkook back in college too. Both of you liked each other so much. I could see that in your eyes. When things got awkward between the two of you before you left, I knew it's not the end. And after five years, I know that it definitely wasn't the end." Hoseok says. Taehyung bites his lower lip. He did think that it was the end for him and Jungkook five years ago. But the situation he is in says otherwise.

"I-I don't think we still have any future. As y'all know... I'm Mingyu hyung's brother." Taehyung tries to reason, not wanting to raise his hopes high because it would hurt more if they get shattered.

Jimin hisses and rolls his eyes. "Your Mingyu hyung allowed Jungkook to be with you if you're happy. He said he won't interrupt between you two."

"WHAT?" To say Taehyung is shocked would be an understatement. Hoseok elbows Jimin and glares at him. It's clear that Taehyung did not know about it and they were not supposed to tell him. It isn't their story to tell.

Taehyung, on the other hand, feels heartbroken. All this time he thought it was Jungkook who demanded for Taehyung from Mingyu in exchange of help. But it turns out that it was indeed Mingyu's idea.

He feels betrayed. He has always wanted to stay away from mafia and its working but his brother literally pushed him into a very deep well by agreeing to Jungkook to give away Taehyung.

"L-Look Taehyung, I-I don't know why your brother did that but maybe he had a reason. Don't get sad without knowing the whole thing." Hoseok tries to make him understand.

"No, hyung! My hyung promised to keep me away from this mafia shit! He promised to protect me but look at what he did. He pushed me towards another mafia group where some members stare at me like a piece of meat. My career is fucking over! My life is ruined, hyung." Taehyung cannot control himself as sobs after sobs leave his mouth.

Jimin cannot feel more guilty while Hoseok feels bad for him. So he tries to console him, "Look Tae, life is really long. Don't say its ruined just yet. You don't know what your life has in store for you. You should try to stay positive and-"

"Positive? My ass." Taehyung cuts him off and harshly rubs his eyed to wipe his tears. He hasn't cried so much in the last five years as much as he has cried in the past months since he got to know Mingyu was sending him to Jungkook.

"My life is ruined, hyung! Mingyu hyung did so wrong with me. HE LEFT ME HERE. HE FUCKING ALLOWED JUNGKOOK TO RUIN MY LIFE AND THAT FUCKING DICKHEAD IS TAKING HIS CHANCE! HE IS RUINING MY LIFE. I HATE HIM. I FUCKING HATE HIM" Taehyung shouts at the top of his lungs. His eyes become blurry with tears.

He sees both Jimin and Hoseok's mouth opening and closing while they both stare behind him. Taehyung is confused but then he hears a low voice that belongs to a certain ravenette, "I... I ruined your life?"

Hurt is clearly evident in his voice. He knew Taehyung did not like him much but he also did not expect so much hatred for himself.

Taehyung slowly turns around and stares at the ravenette with eyes full of hurt and anger directed towards him. "Yes. Yes, you did. And I will never forgive you for that Jeon Jungkook. I will hate you for this all my life and I will hate Mingyu hyung too. You both did this to me. You planned this and I fucking hate you!"

With each word Taehyung says, Jungkook feels his heart being stabbed. "You... You don't know everything, Tae so please don't assume. Just listen to me once and-"

"NO! I don't wanna listen to you. Heck, I don't even wanna see you. I cannot tolerate your presence. You disgust me!" Taehyung says through gritted teeth. He turns around to leave, not being able to stay anywhere near Jungkook at the moment. He is literally trembling with anger.

"Taehyung! Tae, listen-" Jimin jogs towards him to stop him.

"Jimin, if you wanna talk on behalf of that asshole, I suggest you to not even try because whatever happens, my opinion about him won't change." Taehyung says, without turning around.

"But Taehyung, you should talk to me. Talk to me and make your mood better, hmm?" Hoseok suggests, hoping that the younger would take his advice. He just wants the tension between his friends to go away.

Taehyung slowly faces Hoseok and laughs a humourless laugh. "Okay then. I'll talk to you. I'll answer the question you asked me earlier."

Jimin hangs his head in embarrassment. He knows Taehyung is doing this because he yapped his mouth earlier without thinking anything. "I think Jimin can totally top you. Looking cute does not mean you're a bottom by default. Look at me. I'm cute but I always top. I've been in multiple sexual relationships but I never once bottomed . Well... not for anyone else but your fucking boss." He throws a glance at Jungkook who looks shocked by his words.

None of the three males could even think five years ago that Taehyung could top but now he has changed and they know that they shouldn't be surprised. There's a lot about Kim Taehyung that they don't know.

"But, Jeon Jungkook, don't you ever think that I'll let you fuck my life more than you already fucked it just because I let you fuck me in bed. Do you get that? Or I'll fuck you over and over. I'll fuck you so bad that you won't ever be able to face your goddamn minions." The brunette threatens. Jungkook is not one of those who gets threatened but something in Taehyung's venomous words and expressions tell him that he needs to take him more seriously.

Taehyung quickly leaves, wanting to get away from them. He came here to calm his anger but he is leaving from here after getting angrier and that is really pissing him off.

Jungkook is left there, staring in the direction he left. He is at loss of words. Tears float in his eyes. Never in his life has he felt this bad about himself. He has not cried in years, his father's death being an exception.

But this brunette, he has a lot of control over him. He managed to bring out emotions in him that he didn't think he was capable of feeling.

Guilt being one of them.
