" Unlucky is not only losing your deserved happiness...it is also seeing your happiness getting destroyed infront of your own eyes when you can't do anything
about it. "

Third Person's POV

" Cause Hyung, I think your guest doesn't have the proper education of manners or anything. I didn't know you people were this fond of untaught people who doesn't even know when to excuse themselves rather than ruining people's mood and Time. "

Those words of Jimin replayed again and again in Jungkook's head as an never ending chant of pain while he let the cold water run down over his head.

He stood under the shower with almost freezing water droplets washing away his invisible tears. So he ruined their mood and time ? Or it's just his Boss who's mood and time that Jungkook ruined ?

It pained so differently and no one other than Jungkook knew how much painful those words were. How hurtful they felt .

" It's okay. It really is. There's nothing to feel bad . You deserve it . " Jungkook said to himself as he rested his head on the shower wall .

.

" What do you want me to cook Jiminah ? I miss cooking for you . " Jin said smiling at Jimin who was certainly looking disturbed. His eyes were fixed on nothing outside the glass wall where the garden was visible. Taehyung was looking at Jimin with a tensed look. He wanted to go and see if Jungkook was okay but his heart couldn't think about anything else when he clearly knew something was bothering Jimin.

" Minnie... " Taehyung called approching Jimin but seemingly there was no reaction but both of the brothers knew that Jimin was fully aware of their calls.

Taehyung sat beside Jimin and placed his on Jimin's hand who immediately looked down at Taehyung's hand , may be trying not to yeet his own hands away for some reason. But he was trying, trying his best to accept the affection of his best friend. The person, Jimin trusts the most, loves the most . Jimin knew Taehyung would always understand him and he's the person who would never make Jimin feel guilty. Taehyung gave Jimin a new life out of dark , saved him...so how can Jimin refuse Taehyung's affection ?

Jimin blinked twice before looking at Taehyung who's eyes were filled with worry .

" Hyung...may I talk to him in private for few ? " Taehyung suddenly asked Jin who understood the matter in seconds and in this way he'll check on Jungkook too !

Jin nodded smiling before leaving the room .

After Jin left, the room was silent for few seconds till Taehyung spoke.

" Is anything bothering you Minnie ?"
Taehyung asked with a very calm , low and affectionate voice which made Jimin stare at him for few brief seconds then the younger just laid his back on the couch and sighed.

" It's nothing Tae. " Jimin said and Taehyung shook his head.

" Is it Jungkook who's bothering you ?" Taehyung asked and Jimin clutched his eyes shut. Visible irritation was spreading through his expression.

" He's a stranger. I don't trust him with you two in this house. " Jimin said and Taehyung could only sigh.

" Minnie...try to understand okay ? Not every people you'd meet would be known to you. You can't know everyone before hand. Everyone was once a stranger to you, then you got to know them. Right ? " Taehyung said and Jimin just looked away.

" He's... He's just... irritating. His presence, it's disturbing me. " Jimin said nonchalantly and Taehyung looked at Jimin with a questioning gaze.

" As much as I know he's a gentleman . Yeah too bubbly at times but very honest . But your reasons will be my priority. What's the reason of the irritation Minnie ? " Taehyung asked with so much patience and Jimin stared at the wine glass before taking a sip from there.

Jimin screamed Royal. Everything about him looked screamed that he was groomed like a crowned prince who was loved and taught. He never was irrational so wouldn't it shock Taehyung if Jimin lashes out on someone all suddenly ?

" Ugh , I don't know. Everything about him is... I just don't like him. " Jimin said. Yeah, he really didn't know what was going in him . He didn't understand why Jungkook's eyes made him so restless that he couldn't handle one meeting after his interview. The epitome of confidence , Chairman of Park IT , the Park Jimin hated feeling restless and now he was feeling it so much that he couldn't even handle himself.

" There's nothing about him to not like Minnie...but then why did you hire him ? I told you to not care about my recommendation if you yourself don't like him. " Taehyung said cause he really didn't want Jimin to get restless like this.

" He's smart . He can handle things well . I can say it by the way he talks. I don't fail to see people's talent Tae nor I disrespect it. He got the job and also the the words that he'll be fired at the moment he does any mistake. " Jimin said closing his eyes and once again remembering the way Jungkook's eyes were glistening earlier this evening.

" Then why the disliking ? He's a very sensitive person Minnie... I'm sorry to say this but... he...he really did nothing wrong today. " Taehyung said holding his breath.

" So now you're defending him huh...? A stranger taking away another one's place right ? " Jimin's sad dark chuckle in the end hurt Taehyung more.

" Jimin please no- " Taehyung was trying to say something but Jimin just shook his head .

" I don't know if it was his fault or not. May be it was mine cause I reacted like that after hearing him being so interested about my Love Life and lover. " Jimin said getting off of the couch and Taehyung's face paled. Now he understands.

Taehyung blinked rapidly. Leaving all the Things aside, Jungkook had to ask about this !? And Jimin had to listen this !? Taehyung felt his heart crushing as his eyes flashed some devastating situations of past. The soaked tears of his Best friend ...

Taehyung bit his lip, cursing himself for even defending Jungkook . He knew Jungkook doesn't know anything and he's completely innocent but now there was no wrong in Jimin's case too.

" Minnie I'm sorry... I'm so sorry please " Taehyung pleaded following Jimin towards the glass wall where the younger stood against and lit up his cigarette while the distant look got back on those beautiful eyes.

" Don't be Tae... atleast not you. I'll be proved disingenuous if I make you feel sorry . " Jimin said as he still didn't look at Taehyung who stood behind him with a defeated look.

After all these time, could Taehyung heal Jimin ? No. The absence of Jimin's soul in him kept his scars fresh. He just mastered in wrapping it in himself.

" Kookah ...? " Jin called entering Jungkook's room which was now quite dark with few dimmed lights on.

It was all silent which made Jin think if Jungkook fell asleep.

" Are you here Kookah ? " Jin asked as he saw the bed empty and then his eyes fell on the opened door of balcony. So the younger was there ?

Jin wasn't wrong. Jungkook was there, holding the railings and his eyes fixed on the far away night view of Seoul. Jin could clearly understand that Jungkook has just taken a shower by seeing his carelessly wiped hair. His very loose grey sweatshirt was getting wet by the water droplets falling on them from his long hair.

" Kookah ? " Jin called hesitantly, trying not to scare the boy by calling him suddenly but no luck, Jungkook flinched badly.

" Oh huh ahhh ! " Jungkook turned around with his startled eyes .

" It's me.. Jin hyung. " The older tried to calm the boy and patted on his shoulder.

" Oh Jin hyung ! You almost scared me though ! What if I fell from here God ! My broken bones would have been hard to find ! " Jungkook said shaking his head which made Jin want to smile but why did he also feel that all these words are just to avoid the pain ?

" Kookah... don't hide your feelings from me okay ? Am I not your Hyung ? You know you can tell me anything right ? " Jin asked and Jungkook looked confused.

" Huh ? Why do it sounds like I'm going through serious relationship issues and my brother trying to help me out " Jungkook said giggling and ended up laughing.

" Jungkook... " Jin called with a serious tone and the younger tried to stop his laughter but miserably failed.

" Sorry hyung... sorry sorry ! " Jungkook was trying hard to control his laughter and hugged Jin suddenly.

" Please don't try to hide it from me Kookah . Hyung understands you know ? So please..." Jin said rubbing Jungkook's back who stopped laughing but still had a smile on his face when he broke the hug.

" May be Boss was in a bad mood ? I understand you know hyung . I'm not a kid... of course it felt a little bit bad but I didn't take it in my heart nor he said it from his heart. And I am in fault too that I was asking bizzare questions about him at that moment ? Was it the cause of his anger ? I think so too... " Jungkook said and Jin suddenly looked horrified then dead serious.

" Yes. It was the reason. Don't ever dare to bring that topic infront of him. Don't ask me anything cause I can't explain but just don't. Okay ? " Jin said and Jungkook listened to it , getting more puzzled. Why does this two brothers tells him everything but at the same time Nothing ?

" Uhmm ... I... okay I wouldn't... " Jungkook was perplexed and at the same time very scared cause he knew he wrote his name on Jimin's dislike list by saying something that offends him .

" I'll just send his dinner in his room. "
Jin told Taehyung who nodded in agreement . The dinner was getting served and Jimin was in a call with someone . They were scared to call Jungkook for dinner and seemingly it wasn't even a good situation for them to eat in the same table.

After few moments Jimin came and sat on the chair where he always sits and Taehyung sat beside him . Jin was about to sit and the maid was marching towards upstairs with Jungkook's food, when Jungkook himself was coming downstairs .

Jin was scared . What if Jungkook comes and sits with them ? How would Jimin react ? Would Jimin even eat or leave ? Jin can't let it happen. He internally scolded himself for not telling Jungkook that his dinner will be sent to his room.

Taehyung looked horrified too and a little angry for some reason as he stared at Jungkook while Jimin stayed completely emotionless in Jungkook sudden arrival.

But all these staring at silence shocked Jungkook and again made him feel embarrassed as he stopped midstair.

" Jungkook... ? " Jin called and maybe the later understood the matter. Ofcourse he wasn't invited there in the dinner table and how could he even expect it ? But he was hungry though... what should he do ? Run upstairs again ? Say sorry for disturb ? Only if he could disappear...

" I... I'm here for some water Hyung... Can I just take a bottle...? " Jungkook asked and Jin didn't know what to say.

" Couldn't you come downstairs some times after Jungkook ? You wouldn't die if you don't drink water for few minutes. " Taehyung's anger as showing on his words which startled Jungkook. Jin knew why Taehyung is angry but still... what was Jungkook's fault there ?

" Ye-Yeah. I'm sorry ... " Jungkook said after digesting the harsh remarks while his eyes were on Jimin who didn't even look at him like Jungkook is not even there. But in Jungkook's eyes , Jimin seemed like the epitome of gorgeousness. He was ridiculously pretty and unworldly handsome. Not to mention the addicting aura that radiates around him ... Jungkook may be wasn't the strongest soldier against the undeniable Park Jimin charm.

" Tae ! " Jin called in a scolding tone cause he knew Jungkook might end up crying this time .

" Go to your room kookah... your dinner and water will be there. " Jin said and Jungkook blinked before nodding. He wanted to run upstairs but his legs didn't move...he felt like he was glued there. Was he expecting too much by thinking Jimin would say something like " Come sit, have your dinner with us. " ?

Jungkook knew he was thinking like a stupid and probably was acting like one by still standing there staring at them or someone in particular. Was it his fault that he couldn't look away from his crush?

" Does he have selective hearing problem Tae ? Why can't he just do what he's told !? " Jimin asked. His voice was little to harsh and angry that everyone flinched at the dinning room. He usually doesn't speak this loud and it was making Taehyung more angry at Jungkook.

This time everyone looked at Jungkook for once before looking away. There was nothing to say nor they could at this point.

Nothing was left for Jungkook to say as well rather than sorry which would sound worthless now...so he just bowed to everyone before running upstairs again.

.
.
.
.
.

Jungkook sleepless eyes stared at his own reflection on the mirror as he combed his hair. He straightened his long curly hair and styled it backwards to look professional or to match the atmosphere of Park IT. It was a brand new day...a new day in Jungkook's life and probably a new start.

He was looking picture perfect . But his day brightening smile was nowhere near him . He removed all of his earrings . That Looked so unlike him but Jeon Jungkook couldn't possibly look bad, never ever. His eyebrow and lip piercing were previously removed by him yesterday .

Oh, talking about yesterday... Jungkook remembered every words that were said to him . Every single word. He also knew that Jimin left late at night. May be the two brothers requested him to stay but Jimin didn't listen. Was it because Jungkook ?

" Why do you hate me so much, Boss...? " Jungkook asked closing his eyes and once again imagined Jimin's emotionless yet too beautiful eyes.

Jungkook was already dressed in his dress code wise silk white shirt , black trousers and the tie... the damn tie which he always struggled with. He never was able to do it perfectly alone. So he just stared at it being looking a little far from perfect but it'll work, right ?

" Can't I change your hate towards me into something else, Boss ? " Jungkook asked with the same monotonous voice which actually sounded like he was talking to someone.

The food from last night was still placed there like yesterday. He couldn't eat anything nor he could understand if he was hungry at all now. Was he anxious ? Yes, pretty much. He wondered how his colleagues will be . Will they be co-operative ? He hoped everything and everyone will be good or may be he'll get a chance to impress his Boss with his work ?

Jungkook was about to put on the expensive yet 'not his style' type watch that Jin bought for him when he heard a knock on the door.

" Come in ! " Jungkook's chirpy voice could be heard as his very much beautiful sweet smile appeared on his lips in a flick of second. He heard the door open and close and he already knew who was it.

" Oh , all ready huh !? " Taehyung's deep voice had a tone of mocking and Jungkook chose to avoid it .

" Good morning to you too Taehyungssi ... " Jungkook said and wore the watch before turning to Taehyung who looked at him with a not so fond gaze. Jungkook couldn't understand why this change of behaviour appeared all suddenly from yesterday...was Taehyung going to tell him to move out now ?

" Don't you good morning me Jeon ! You're lucky that I still didn't throw you out of my house ! I gave you shelter, food and basically a job doesn't mean you're a family ! A stranger , that's what you are ! Don't you ever try to interfere in our private matters and don't ever think of bothering Jimin with your stupid shitty questions ! Understand !? " Taehyung spitted cold fire with a hunch of disgust , insultingly molded with his deep authorative voice.

Jungkook didn't say anything and just looked down.

" I understand... " Jungkook muttered out still looking down with his eyes closed for some reason.

" What understand stupid ? Where were your all the understanding when you were so interested about people's private life without even being aware of your surroundings !" Taehyung said too agressively that it sounded like he'll just attack Jungkook if the younger dares to say something.

" It wouldn't happen again... " Jungkook said. His voice was no different from his usual calm and timid one.

" First day there and I really hope you lose the job cause you know what !?" Taehyung suddenly clutched Jungkook's neatly folded collar harshly .

" Cause I don't fucking want to be the reason of his distress ! " Taehyung retorted and pushed Jungkook away who never looked up.

" What an unlucky human being you are Jeon ! Good things runs away from you , doesn't they ? " Taehyung asked and now Jungkook looked at him. If inaccessible was a thing then it'll be the adjective which would define Jungkook's eyes.

Taehyung's eyes proved that he was sleepless too and his smirk proved that he was mocking Jungkook.

" First you lost everyone and ran to America then Again lost everything and came back to Korea. Now see, what your fucked up situation is ! You got robbed, got hit with a car and ended up here now. Huh... so unlu- "
Taehyung couldn't complete his words as he was stopped by Jungkook.

" Unlucky... right ? I know Taehyungssi. Infact, who knows it more than me ? But I really like gentle reminders of my reality. So thank you very much and you know... I'm trying my best. Trying my best to turn the wheel of my luck ... I pray everyday for it to work... I believe it'll be alright oneday. Oneday which I can imagine."
Jungkook said with his serene voice which was so calm and collected that every strong power would crush down and crumble against Jungkook's feet. The tone had something royal in it. The majestic calming tone which would slap away anyone's insult with sweet words.

Jungkook slowly walked to the mirror again and fixed his collar perfectly and again turned to the confused Taehyung's face. It was clearly visible that Taehyung was disturbed and no wonder he was going to regret this behaviour in a span of few hours.

" Jin hyung told me to think of him as my own brother which wasn't actually needed. I already placed you two in my heart as the vacant places of my family members . But I'm so unlucky that I forgot that I don't belong here... I'm a stranger. I really am. But it wouldn't stop me from thinking you two as my real brothers." Jungkook smiled brightly in the end making Taehyung's face more dark.

" my thank yous will never be enough for the things you two did for me. I could never explain... forgive me for that Taehyungssi . " Jungkook said smiling and suddenly hugged Taehyung , shocking him so much. What was Jungkook made of !? After all these words, he was hugging Taehyung ? Saying thanks !?

" And please... give me some time. I'll move out right after I find a place to stay. You know Taehyungssi...this much luxury ain't good for me. I am not used to it and I also don't wanna get used to Something I don't deserve." Jungkook said as he took his phone from the table.

Taehyung didn't say something or to be exact, he couldn't.

" I'll leave for office early today. Gotta get familiar with the roads and stuff. I don't wanna get lost in roads though."
Jungkook said as he took his new Black leather bag which had his work file and the new laptop .

.
.
.
.

" Hyung I already ate . I was hungry earlier this morning you know ? So I ate ! " Jungkook tried to convince Jin who looked at him with kinda apologetic eyes cause he knew that Jungkook faced Taehyung's lash out just few minutes ago. He understood why Taehyung was angry . Taehyung can't bear it if Jimin is even slightly distressed nor Jin can . Even Jin knows it better than how much pain it can cause Jimin in a matter of second. But how was Jungkook supposed to know which topic to bring and which to not ?

" Then atleast take my car to office... you don't know anything here nor everything is any near of being same from 14 years ago kookah... " Jin requested and Jungkook just shook his head.

" No no hyung... I really don't want it. Please don't request me like this... I just can't. Nor I want. And I can't drive too ! " Jungkook reasoned.

" Last one isn't a problem. Take my driver ... Ple- " Jin was going to say something but got stopped by Taehyung.

" Let him go Hyung. He's not a kid, nor a person who isn't used of public transport. And you can't do all these when he moves out on his own. " Taehyung said nonchalantly as he finished his breakfast and got up from his seat.

" See hyung, Taehyungssi understands ! Don't worry okay ? I've my phone right ? If I feel anything wrong, I'll call you. Okay ? " Jungkook's assured and Jin nodded nonetheless.

With that, Jungkook walked out of the mansion Jin turned to Taehyung.

" What is this Taehyung ! You can't just do this to him ! What was Jungkook's fault !? How is he supposed to know-" Jin was shut off by Taehyung.

" I don't care ! I fucking don't care about what he knows or whatever he doesn't ! Don't forget he's a mere stranger and doesn't belong in our life. If Jimin doesn't like him, I don't like him too. Can you imagine that someone like Jimin disliked him in the very first meeting !? You know how Jimin is ! Hate and disliking are Something that doesn't go with him. He either loves or doesn't care . Can you imagine how much restless he was after yesterday's interview ! He was probably having a headache again Hyung ! " Taehyung's words made Jin gasp.

" Jimin... Jimin wasn't feeling well yesterday right...? Oh god...why didn't you tell me before ! You know well that these headaches are not good for him !" Jin almost freaked out.

" I fucking don't know anything hyung. If anything happens to him ever, I'll not spare anyone who'll cause it ! " Taehyung snarled before walking away .

" He got all the unluckiness he never deserved but stood strong cause he believed that he can change it, one day. "
