21 - Shadow
"Oh here they are! Is everything fine between you both?" Seulgi asked when Yoongi and Jimin reached the living room.
"Of course mom!" Yoongi beamed.
Jimin gulped hard under his father's gaze. He knew that his father had noticed the mark beneath his jaw.
Jimin averted his gaze, shifting it to everywhere except for his parents. It was when Seulgi noticed the mark as well.
"I thought you both had fought but I guess I was totally wrong." Seulgi teased while Jimin felt embarassed.
"Y-yeah why w-would we fight mom?" Jimin managed to smile nervously.
Hansul just nodded. He was not too much impressed, "Come let's have a seat in the garden."
"Sorry dad, I've promised Jungkook to join him in the evening." Yoongi informed, "it's okay if Jimin wants to stay. I'll pick him up later because Taehyung is at my place as well."
"He's still at your place?" Jimin rhetorically questioned, "then I'm coming along with you."
"But you both should stay more." Seulgi demanded.
"We'll visit often mom." Yoongi politely defied.
"It's okay honey, let them." Hansul assured with a grin.
After 20 minutes, Yoongi was driving back home with Jimin on the passenger seat.
"Huh finally everything is settled between us." Yoongi chuckled but earned silence in answer.
"Are you mad at me?" Yoongi cocked a brow while focusing on the road.
"Jimin? Are you asleep or something." He managed to pinch the younger's cheeks.
"Don't talk to me." Jimin bluntly stated.
"Why? What did I do?" Yoongi asked innocently.
"Didn't you see how much embarassed I was?" Jimin whined.
"They're your parents Jimin. Why would you be embarassed in front of them?" Yoongi reasoned, "I've the right to do everything with your concent."
"You know what Yoon? I know I can't win over you so just shut up!" Jimin looked outside the window.
"Okay I'm sorry, fine?" Yoongi sighed.
He again earned silence in response, "I'm apologising for no reason, still you're throwing tantrums."
"This is your training Yoon, you've to handle it all your life." Jimin blew a flying kiss.
"I know." Yoongi rolled his eyes and chuckled.

Everything rushed through his mind. How they almost hated each other since the beginning. How Yoongi even separated them for peace. How his boyfriend ditched him in the interview. How their fake relationship began.
And finally, how he hates that everything is fake.
"This makes our act look more real."
Taehyung's words ringed in Jungkook's mind.
But he wasn't confused anymore. He wasn't going to grieve before even trying. Everything was indeed an act but it could be real. Just, one more step!
His thoughts were interrupted by a gentle pat on his shoulder. It was Taehyung.
The older grabbed a seat besides Jungkook, "What happened all of a sudden?"
Jungkook didn't reply. Although he was no longer confused, he was still not in his right mind. How would he confront Taehyung? What if he doesn't want the same? It was a matter of fact that Taehyung always hated him in the past. Are they on that much good note to at least go for a date?
"Jungkook?" Taehyung softly mumbled, "Are you okay?"
Jungkook remained silent. No he didn't want to. He had a lot to say but words, those fucking words were stuck somewhere he doesn't know.
"Why are you lost kook? Is there something that's bothering you?" Taehyung was getting restless.
Silence once again. Speak bunny speak!
"Fine I'm in the living room." Taehyung muttered in a blank tone and began to leave.
But a soft yet strong grip halted him to further move. It was Jungkook's arm of course. He pulled Taehyung gently to retain the posture they were in before.
He gradually grabbed the older's waist from the side and nudged his face into his neck. Jungkook's hot breathe sensually tickled Taehyung's earlobe which made his heart beat fasten.
"Can you feel it Tae? Can you feel your heart tingling right now? Can you feel something which can't be polluted by naming it mere lust and desire?"
Taehyung played with his own fingers. He bit his lower lip and nodded to which Jungkook chuckled and shut his eyelids.
"Will you choose this moment over last night?" Jungkook mumbled.
Taehyung remained speechless for a while, "Y-yes." He confessed.
Jungkook squealed Taehyung's frame wrapped within his arms, "I regret everything."
This staggered Taehyung. Regret? What regret? He began to speak something but Jungkook cut him off, "I'm the one who's responsible to fill our bond with the venom of lust and trust me, I regret it."
Taehyung gulped hard but hummed in response, now he was the one, finding words to answer.
"I like being around you, I always did. Afterall, who would want to let you go? At least I can't. I don't know what it is Tae but I'm pretty sure that I don't want you beneath me, instead, I want you beside me."
Taehyung felt miserable. He wanted to speak but his breathe hitched. He wanted to stay calm but he failed a greater time.
"Don't panick Tae, I'm not demanding an answer. I'm just letting you know my side to restrain any kind of misunderstandings." Jungkook assured
"But I want to answer." Taehyung rested his head over Jungkook's, "Do you mean it Jungkook?"
"I wouldn't have said this if I didn't mean it." Jungkook chuckled.
"It's true that we weren't on a very good note in the beginning, I literally hated you." Taehyung reminisced the old days, "but the present is entirely different from the past."
"You said no one would want to let me go. But the thing is that back then, I never even thought that I would ever want you to stay. I don't know what it is either but it's true that I feel truly happy around you." Taehyung shut his eyes as well.
Jungkook finally parted away and faced Taehyung, "Would you like to go on a date with me?"
Taehyung was startled. He stared the younger in amusement.
"I-I'm sorry, I got carried away. Forget it Tae." Jungkook nervously smiled.
"I would love to!"
"Really?!"
Taehyung nodded while giggling, "What's wrong in it? Let's give it a try kook."
Jungkook beamed. He parted his lips to say something but a staff interrupted, "Sir, Mr. Min is back home. He's parking his car."
"We're coming." Jungkook dismissed the servant, "I'll text you the details by tonight. Let's go for now."
-
"I lost my sons because of you!!" The lady yelled at the man standing in front of her.
"Honey listen to me, I apologised but now they're rich people. They only talk money." The man, supposed to be her husband tried to give reasons or more like excuses.
"Don't call me honey and that's it for us. I don't wanna live with a drunkard who expelled his extraordinary sons just because of his superstitious shitty thoughts." She began to pack her bags.
"What the fuck are you doing?" The man tried to stop.
"Something which I should have done 8 years ago. I'm leaving this house as well, I'll send the divorce papers very soon and you'll have to sign them no matter what." The lady threatened.
"Fine I'll sign them but do remember one thing, I'll not let your sons stay alive if this happens." The man's eyes darkened.
The lady smirked, "I believe my sons. They'll protect each other. It's you, who'll beg to stay alive. Mark my words." Saying her last words, the lady stepped out of that house.

"Hyung!" Jungkook beamed and embraced Yoongi, "Congratulations!!"
"Thankyou kook!" Yoongi chuckled and parted away. He patted Jungkook's head, "So how was the day?"
"Cool! I had an outstanding company so of course it was nice." Jungkook grinned.
"But it wouldn't be nice anymore." Jimin mumbled.
"About that, I'm sorry midget hyung but it was for good, wasn't it?" Jungkook teased.
"You brat." Jimin ran behind Jungkook.
"Congratulations hyung." Taehyung approached Yoongi.
"Thankyou! He didn't bother you right?" Yoongi and Taehyung basically ignored the chaos out there.
"Hyung!! Take your man!" Jungkook yelled.
Yoongi rolled his eyes and continued his conversation with Taehyung.
"What the fuck? Why aren't you listening to me huh?!" Jungkook yelled again.
"Okay okay Jimin stop it! It's fine okay?" Yoongi held Jimin's arms, "We can't deny the fact that whatever he did was for good."
"And I'm sorry as well." Jungkook added.
"Fine." Jimin gave in and looked towards Jungkook with a smile, "I forgive you this time."
Everyone settled up in the living room. Jungkook and Taehyung sat together while Yoongi and Jimin together.
"Where's Hairi noona though?" Yoongi gulped his glass of water.
"She had some stuff to take care of." Jungkook answered.
"Yoon, pass me that oreo." Jimin whispered while Yoongi did the same.
"Whom did you ask Jimin?" Taehyung stared the older blankly.
"Yoon." Jimin replied nonchalantly.
"Who?" Taehyung mocked with a straight face.
"Yoo-" Jimin got note of the joke, "Shut up Tae."
Everyone cackled. Things seemed to be sorted after a very long while. Finally, right?!
"Did you inform Jin and Namjoon hyung?" Jungkook asked.
"Yes we did." Jimin nodded, "This morning."
"Hey let's call Hoseok hyung over here as well." Taehyung suggested.
"I already did. He'll be here in a while." Yoongi settled his hairs.
"I'm here buddies!!" Hoseok beamed with his captivating aura, "and look, with whom?"
"You girlfriend?" Jungkook jumped in excitement.
"Nooo!" Hoseok rolled his eyes. The staff who had opened the door came in with some flowers and carry bags which he carefully placed on the table.
"Jin hyung and Namjoon!" Hoseok turned his face only to welcome the couple.
Loud squeals were heard by the other four males. Jungkook and Taehyung jumped over their hyungs while Jimin followed them.
Yoongi welcomed them with gentle embraces after the maknaes had already let out their excited selves. Followed by the chaos, they calmly seated themselves.
"This is the best reconcilement ever!" Yoongi raised the toast.
Everyone clicked their glasses of wine when loud cackles were heard in the room. The overwhelming vibes were a pure bliss.
"All my hyungs, pay your attention please!" Jungkook stood up the sofa, "I'm going on a date!!"
"What?! How didn't I know?"
"Really?"
"Congratulations kook!!"
"That's endearing."
"Our boy has grown up!"
"With whom with whom?"
Taehyung giggled hearing all of the responses.
"With Kim Taehyung!" Taehyung regained his seat to peck the older's lips.
"Woah woah woah woah!!" Jin walked forward to hug the younger ones.
"See I knew it! I knew that this would happen someday!" Jimin grinned.
"I appreciate my brother's choice in this case! But Taehyung, I pity yours." Yoongi dramatically mourned.
"That's not fair hyung! I mean that's true but you aren't supposed to say that out loud." Jungkook threw his hands in the air.
"That's true Jungkook?!" Namjoon cocked a brow.
"He's teasing me." Yoongi rolled his eyes.
"Whatever that's so cool! Now I'm missing my girlfriend." Hoseok remarked.
"About that, when are we meeting her hyung?" Taehyung questioned.
"Not very soon. She's out for some project." Hoseok pressed his lips into a line.
"Aww don't be sad hobi!" Jin patted his shoulders.
"By the way what's her profession?" Yoongi asked.
"She's a business woman in the IT industry." Hoseok flexed.
"Woah surely an intellectual." Namjoon appreciated.
"When did you both come back?" Yoongi looked towards Namjoon and Jin.
"This evening." Jin replied, "Hoseok asked us to convert it into a surprise in the morning itself."
"Seems like everyone except Hoseok hyung already forgot of our arrival." Namjoon scoffed.
"Sorry about that hyung" Jimin pouted.
"No it's okay, we know it had been a mess." Jin assured, "Hoseok told us about all those stuff which had been taking place after we left."
With a good note, all of them had dinner and after a while of chit-chatting, they were set to reach their own home sweet home.
"I'll drop you Tae." Jungkook offered.
"But I brought my car yesterday." Taehyung defied.
"Don't worry Tae, I'll bring your car. I don't have mine here." Jimin embraced Yoongi.
"But I was going to drop you!" Yoongi mumbled.
"It's okay Yoon, you should rest instead." Jimin chuckled, "Hoseok hyung, mind accompanying me?"
"Yah why not?" Hoseok grinned.
"Okay so all set, Joon let's go!" Jin rolled his eyes on Namjoon discussing something with Yoongi.
"Yah coming!"
-
"We're here." Jungkook halted the car in front of Taehyung's appartment. He turned to look behind his car, "Jimin hyung?"
"He had to drop Hoseok hyung. He'll be arriving soon as well, don't worry." Taehyung walked out of the car followed by Jungkook.
"What?"
"Nothing" Jungkook shrugged.
"So aren't you leaving?" Taehyung giggled.
"I will but you get inside first." Jungkook embraced the older for a few seconds and then let him walk towards his apartment.
Before unlocking the door, Taehyung looked back to where Jungkook was standing against the bonnet of his car. He frowned when he watched the younger indulged in his phone.
It was when his phone beeped. He pulled it out from his pocket and smiled to the notification.
Bun :
Star moon Hotel
7 pm
Dress would be delivered in the morning!
Take care!
Taehyung looked up as his gaze met with Jungkook. They waved and smiled to each other after which Taehyung stepped into his apartment and Jungkook, back to his car.
Their hearts fluttered, they were restless for the next day's evening.
Only if they knew...
