' I haven't seen him since last night don't ask me anything Yoongi' Namjoon groaned preparing coffee for him and Yoongi

' We are really sorry Namjoon ah' Yoongi mumbled ' We have been causing trouble for Taehyung from day one'

' Hey it's fine' Namjoon smiled softly handing over the cup as they settled on the living room couch' He just easily looses his temper...will be fine in some time'

' You can't blame him though' Yoongi said...the room falling into silence....

' Does he really love her?' Namjoon asked after a long pause

' Honestly...I don't know' Yoongi sighed ' One day Kook came home telling us that Hobi had asked him if he could marry Aera and he said yes... At first we thought..may be he loves her...they have known each other since high school..have been best friends for a while...so may be it was possible...but then-'

' But then he kept stalling the wedding...' Jin who came down the stairs in the midst of their conversation spoke up 'He didn't even want to get engaged... He continued doing that for a year and now here we are...'

' He honestly doesn't seem to be in love' Yoongi shrugged

' You clearly don't like her...do you?' Namjoon asked chuckling

' I have never liked people' Yoongi snorted

' Oh but you like Jimin' Jin said wiggling his brows

' Who told you?' Yoongi asked..his cheeks turning pink

' So you hate him?' Jin gasped

' I didn't say that!' Yoongi defended as Namjoon broke out into a fit of laughter

' I'll go make some coffee for you Hyung' Namjoon said getting up....

' No it's fine... I'll make' Jin too followed him into the kitchen...while Yoongi just turned around on the couch... looking at Namjoon who had already started making the coffee

' Yeah Namjoon ah...Jin hyung gets cranky like a baby if he doesn't get his coffee according to his liking...and trust me..its annoying to deal with him' Yoongi made a cringy face as Jin just rolled his eyes

' Relax hyung...I know how you like your coffee' Namjoon said confidently

' Oh really?' Jin asked laughing

' Yeah...extra cream...and pinch of cinnamon on the top...' Namjoon detailed as he finished making the coffee.. taking the cup and turning towards the elder

Jin looked at the cup... before looking up at Namjoon who had a wide dimpled smile on his face....

Namjoon's smile faltered when he saw Jin just staring 'Hyung-' but he stilled at the hand that now caressed his cheeks...the thumb resting over his dimples ever so softly...

Jin smiled...his eyes softening as he took in a shaky breath 'Namjoon ah...I-'

' Good morning people!' Hobi's loud voice broke in through the heavy atmosphere... making Jin drop his hand and take the coffee from Namjoon who turned around to face an equally shocked Yoongi

' Oh Joon..are you making coffee?' Hobi asked walking into the kitchen totally unaware of the confused stares

' Yeah he was' Jin nodded..as if nothing happened

' Can you make one for me too?' Hobi asked grinning ' You know I love your coffee'

' Yeah sure' Namjoon smiled genuinely...he looked at Jin who was now leaning onto the counter...a small smile on his lips

' Aera..you woke up' Jin asked when the said girl came in...

' Good morning everyone' Aera greeted... looking around

' Do you also want something to drink?' Namjoon asked

' No.. thankyou oppa' She mumbled...

' You alright?'Yoongi asked seeing the hesitant look on her

' Y-yeah..I just wanted to-' She stopped whatever she was going to tell when the front door opened and Taehyung walked in...not ever sparing a glance at any one of them... He went straight to the fridge taking out a can of juice.... gulping the liquid down

' You know you will end up getting a stomach ache kid' Namjoon said frowning ' You can't handle juices and soft drinks'

' Oh I won't mind having another pain adding to the list of the ones I already have' Taehyung chuckled darkly as he crushed the now empty can throwing it down into the trash

Jin saw how weak the younger looked with bags under his eyes... clearly showing that he didn't even get an ounce of sleep the previous night... Taehyung walked past him and Jin was about to call out when

' Taehyung' Aera tried stopping him but Taehyung completely ignored her...' Taehyung please listen'

' I don't want to' He spat

' Taehyung we need to talk'

' Oh for fucks sake leave me alone Aera!' Taehyung turned around..his whole form seething in anger..but a small frown found it's place on his face when he saw everyone's eyes widening and Yoongi slowly standing up from his place looking all surprised seeing something behind him

Taehyung looked back only to see Jimin at the base of the stairs with Jungkook who was wearing a beanie inside the house?

' What's with your hair Jimin!' Yoongi finally found his voice ' You literally look like a cherry now!'

' Or more like cotton candy' Hobi chuckled

And that's when Taehyung noticed the tuft of bright pink hair on top of Jimin's head... and trust him...he is not shocked..he has seen worse...dark red... fluorescent green.. electric blue..

But what's bothering him is the insecure look on Jungkook's face who still had a beanie over his head

' What are you doing?' Taehyung asked looking at the younger

' N-nothing' Jungkook stuttered badly

' Why are you hiding it!' Jimin hissed looking at him

' Hyung shut up' Jungkook kicked him

' Oh come on Jungkook!' Jimin rolled his eyes ' I told you to be brave...we are family..no one's gonna judge... you don't have to hide it-'

' Hide what?' Namjoon asked

' Yesterday night when Jin hyung kicked us out-'

' You kicked them out?' Hobi asked amused

' I needed my beauty sleep?' Jin shrugged

' Anyway' Jimin started again ' After Jin hyung kicked us out...me and Jungkookie were not sleepy so we decided to have a little adventure-'

' Don't tell me!' Taehyung's eyes widened

' Hold on Taetae' Jimin grinned ' As I was saying...we decided to dye each other's hair... I decided to get Pink and him some chestnut brown...but it was only after bleaching his hair that we saw that the brown dye had already ended'

' Jimin you are giving me a headache!' Namjoon groaned

' It was not my fault okay!!' Jimin protested ' He was stuck between roaming around with a bleached hair or a hair similar to mine and he prefere-'

Before Jimin could complete his sentence Taehyung took two long strides towards them..his hand coming up pulling the beanie off Jungkook's head

Jungkook closed his eyes when he felt the piece of clothing being removed from his head...he heard gasps from he doesn't know which hyung...but he was not ready to see the unimpressed look any of them would be giving him... especially Taehyung...but even before his brain could creat a worser scenario in his head...he felt a soft touch on his forehead making him slowly open his eye only to have his heart stop at the way Taehyung was looking at him

When Taehyung pulled the beanie down..he was ready to see a mop of Cotton candy hair... but his whole being froze when he saw white strands of bleached hair falling ever so softly over Jungkook's forehead... covering almost half of his now closed eyes....

Taehyung's eyes trailed towards the scruched nose of the younger...his bunny tooth biting down onto his pretty pink lips.. nibbling on them...

Taehyung felt the familiar burn at the back of his eyes...his breath stuck in his throat as memories filled his mind... He gulped taking a step closer...the tip of their shoes touching as he raised hus hand brushing aside a strand of hair...when Jungkook slowly opened his eyes...his deep black orbs locking with the grey ones of Taehyung...which felt like a harsh slap that pulled him into reality...

' Hyung' Jungkook swallowed.. not knowing what to ask when Taehyung suddenly pulled back his hand as if he touched on something hot... 'I-'

' You are still so mesmerizing' Taehyung breathed out 'The most alluring'

Jungkook felt like he was strapped to the ground as Taehyung rushed past him leaving them all behind while the rest of his hyungs came forward complimenting him on how amazing he look in his new hair

' I never knew you could look anymore handsome' Aera smiled once the rest of them settled back to their own works

' Thanks' Jungkook nodded

' Am sorry for yesterday Kookie' Aera said with a sad smile ' And I'll apologize to Taehyung too...I shouldn't have acted like that'

' Am glad you understood your mistake Aera' Jungkook smiled softly ' I'll see you in a while?'

' Yeah sure' Aera nodded ' And Kook...if it was today that Taehyung had describes how his previous boyfriend looked...then I would have been convinced that he was talking about you'

' What?' Jungkook blinked...

' Don't tell me you didn't realize yet' Aera looked at him in disbelief ' Kookie you...you look exactly like how Taehyung described his boyfriend'

🍁🍁🍁🍁

' You did it intentionally!'

Jimin stopped at the door of his room before walking in ' Hello to you to Taetae'

' Shut up Park!' Taehyung spat ' Why are you doing this!'

' Am afraid I don't understand you'

' You don't?' Taehyung chuckled dryly ' Ofcourse you won't unless I show it to you yeah?'

Taehyung kicked onto the trash can kept at the corner of the room...the bin falling down expelling it's contents

' What is it then Jimin?' He asked pointing at the sachets of hair dye that fell out of the trash can 'You did it deliberately...'

' Taehyung I-'

' You know how hard it's already for me...to have him in front of me and not do anything...and you!' Taehyung's eyes brimmed with tears ' You just made him look just like....'

' Like how he used to look some centuries ago?' Jimin asked ' You are on the verge of a breakdown just by seeing him today..how the fuck are you going to survive once he gets married?'

' I don't know!' Taehyung yelled ' I fucking don't know and I don't even want to know...Ji-Jimin he is...he looks the same-'

' I know Tae' Jimin hugged him tightly 'I know bear'

'Eveything's stll the same-' Taehyung cried ' Even our fate...'

' Tae'

' Our love was forbidden then...and it still is!'

🍁🍁🍁🍁

You look exactly like how Taehyung described his boyfriend

Aera's words rang in Jungkook's head as he made his way towards his room.... He walked straight to the mirror... looking at himself do I really look like what he said? He wondered as he recalled Taehyung's words

Skin so flawless and hair so white...

' I do have a pretty flawless skin...' Jungkook examined his face ' And because of Jimin hyung's stupidity I have this white hair...'

His cute button nose that would crinkle everytime he laughed

Jungkook mustered up the cutest and most genuine smile he could.... ' My nose also crinkle when I smile'

He had these beautiful green eyes...that used to sparkle just like emeralds...

' Eyes...' Jungkook looked into his own eyes ' I lost there I guess...'

He turned around... sighing ' Who am I even kidding...stop acting like some highschool girl Kook... you don't stand a chance when it's clear as crystal that Taehyung hyung still loves his..ex'

Just then a knock on the door caught Jungkook's attention

'Hey Kook'

' Yoongi hyung?'

' Wanna go horse riding?'

🍁🍁🍁🍁

The screams cut in through the cold winter air...the snow slippery under his boots...yet he dragged his way towards the prince....the sword gripped tightly in his hold....

With a heavy heart and teary eyes he turned the prince around ' Jungkook ah'

' Hyung-' Jungkook froze half way...his frantic eyes widening as the sword went in and out through his body....

' A-am sorry' He cried as blood pooled in Jungkook's mouth...the younger coughing.. dropping to his knees ' I didn't have any other way'

' Y-you betrayed me...' Jungkook rasped out..his fingers curling over the elder's hand on the sword...

' No please' He cried out when he felt Jungkook pushing the sword more into his own chest....

' But I will forgive you' Jungkook smiled... his eyes struggling to stay open and his breath ragged ' You did h-help me...'

' Jungkook ah' He wailed as the younger's body dropped to the ground...Limp and lifeless

🍁🍁🍁🍁

' You were right'

Jin was startled by the sudden voice... He stepped away from the window looking straight at Taehyung who was standing near the door with glistening orbs

Jin took in a deep breath.. brushing off the raging thoughts in his mind ' What?'

' I should have just stayed away from him' A tear trailed down Taehyung's cheeks

Jin moved towards him... holding his hand dragging him towards the bed.. making him sit there

' Sit here... I'll come in a second' Jin wiped off the tears from the younger's cheeks before walking out

Taehyung kept fiddling with his fingers his mind hazy until Jin walked in sitting beside him with a cup of hot chocolate

' Drink while it's still hot' Jin smiled softly ' Will talk after that..'

' Hyung?'

' Taehyung ah... relax'

' It's all because of me' Taehyung mumbled after he kept the now empty cup on the side table ' Nothing would have been this messed up if it wasn't for me...if he didn't meet me or...'

' Or?'

' Or if I didn't have any feelings for him'

Jin's eyes softened as he took Taehyung's hand into his own... startling the younger as he drew some random patterns on the back of his hand

' I was eleven..when I met a nine year old Yoongi and thirteen when we got Jungkook' Jin smiled seeing the confusion on Taehyung's face ' Spring day children's home...a small orphanage on the outskirts of Busan...and little Kook of four was the last addition there...'

Taehyung's eyes widened...' I....thought-'

' That we are real brothers?' Jin asked as Taehyung nodded ' We are... Just not related by blood...but we love each other more than real brothers do... I knew you had no clue tho'

' How?'

' You never questioned the absence of a surname in Jungkook's application form...nor did you guys try to ask about it when we introduced ourselves as just Seokjin and Yoongi without any family name'

' Oh' Taehyung blinked looking like a lost puppy making Jin coo at his cuteness ' I.. didn't think much of it since you know Joon hyung told me that you are his best friend's friends...'

Jin nodded ' Jungkook was always so shy...even as a child...never really talked to many people but was very mischievous... and the executioner of his mischievous ideas were Yoongi...The three of us grew very close in a short span of time... always sticking together in everything...it was a wonderful time....even though we felt sad seeing other kids with there parents...we had each other and that was enough for us..... The kids under the age of six slept in the hall while the rest in bunk beds... but there were days when me and Yoongi sneaked our little Kookie with us into our bed...and he would sleep squeezed in our middle...'

Taehyung smiled already imagining how cute that might have looked

'Every year our orphanage held a year end fest.. something for which we all would wait eagerly for a whole year....'

' Was it that fun?' Taehyung asked smiling...forgetting that he was crying a while ago

' May be..' Jin shrugged ' No one seemed to think about enjoyment...it was the only time of the year we all will be getting enough food and that alone was enough to make us look forward to it'

Taehyung's smile faltered at that....his heart aching thinking of how miserable the life at the orphanage would have been for all of them

' During those celebrations... they'd set up many things and make the food at the orphanage itself....' Jin continued ' It was the first fest after Jungkook joined with us...and he had just turned five at that time... The fest lasted for three days...and one night... I woke up feeling extremely suffocated as if someone was choking me..I didn't understand what was happening at first...then I felt it..the smell of leaked gas... I quickly got up and looked beside me... trying to wake Yoongi up but he didn't move... I got down from the bed... trying to wake anyone up...but most of the kids were already unconscious... I ran out...to call the ajushi who used to look after us... Thankfully he was with the guard...told me to go in..get the others out as he also rushed in with me while the guard called for help'

' Inside was a mess...the kids were already crying making it more hard for them to breath.... Call me selfish but all I could think of was about my Yoongi and Jungkook.... I somehow got till my room....and to my sheer misery that night Jungkook slept with the other kids in the hall... I pulled Yoongi up...took him out through the chaos....we left through the back gate which lead to an abandoned land with wild veins and trees.... I was about to run back in when he started to gasp for air and cough violently as he regained some of his conscious... I somehow made him sit there and run towards the orphanage when-'

' Hyung' Taehyung held on to Jin's shaking hand 'Breath'

Jin nodded taking in a deep breath ' It exploded...and my Kook was still in there....I burned by legs making it almost impossible for me to move... I laid on the ground helplessly looking at the burning building as the realization that only me and Yoongi came out alive... I tried to get up..but the pain was killing me...and that's when I heard someone crying... I looked towards the building only to see Jungkook coming out of there...unharmed... He was crying hard...clearly scared but there wasn't even a scratch on his body... He ran to me when he saw me... hugging and crying loudly... By that time the ambulance came...they found us and took us to the hospital... But at night...after getting treated I ran away with Yoongi and Kook'

' Ran away?' Taehyung frowned

' Jungkook came out unharmed Tae' Jin emphasized ' He was a mere kid of five who walked out of a burning building without any harm.... How is that possible for a normal human? Think about it... Spring day has been holding events for years but such an accident was for the first time...that too just months after Kook joined us...and exactly after ten years our car got into another accident... just trapping him inside? Thats not logical..if anything it's the person in the driving seat who usually gets stuck while the passenger gets thrown out..but that day it just reversed? The orphanage on fire...the accident... those things just indicate to one thing.... the target was Jungkook... always'

' H-hyung' Taehyung shook his head ' What are you saying..those are just accident and-'

' I know Tae' Jin smiled softly...his fingers wrapping around Taehyung's wrists ' I know you'

' What?'

' I also used to get these dreams' Jin mumbled ' I..knew everything..but I never had the courage to accept it..not even when I met you for the first time..not even when I-I met Joon...and when I saw how you and Jungkook getting close again..I was scared...scared of it all happening again and-

' I don't know what you are talking about' Taehyung mumbled.. looking horrified

' But when I heard you talking about Jungkook yesterday...' Jin gave a weak smile ' I knew you were talking about Jungkook yesterday Taehyung...I know the story of Smeraldo...I know it all because I have been there... witnessing it all'

' N-no' Taehyung violently shook his head trying to pull his hand back ' I-you can't remember anything.. don't...I-'

' You can't deny it' Jin's voice broke ' I know why you never tried to make anyone of us remember the past..but you can't run away from it again Taehyung..nor can you keep me away from it'

' I need to go'Taehyung pleaded standing up.. taking small steps backwards..tears already staining his cheeks ' You are just ramblin-

' I remember how I killed him!' Jin exclaimed as Taehyung went still ' I remember how I separated you two! I remember me killing Jungkook'
