When Jimin woke up, he could hear the loud ringing tone from his phone. Taemin was no where to be seen. It seemed he had found his way out early that morning. Sighing heavily, he checked the caller ID of the person calling him. It was his parents. He knew they already found out about his impending divorce from Jeongyeong. After a while, he picked up.

"Park Jimin! Tell me it's not true!" his mother screamed almost causing his ear drums to split into two.

"Jimin, just apologize to your wife. You can't divorce. You know the benefits we get from Jeonyeong's family" His father added sounding so desperate.

"Appa, I have nothing to apologize for. Besides, it was Jeonyeong who suggested the divorce because she met someone else"

"And you let her?" Mr Park shouted.

"Yes i did. Because i don't love her and she doesn't love me"

He took a deep breath trying to control his anger.

"You both know the hell I've been living in this past ten years. You both know i only accepted to marry Jeonyeong just to satisfy the both of you but now, it's over. I'm taking my life back. I'm done listening to you both. I don't care if you disown me but I'll live the way I want to from now on"

"By being gay?" His father spat, venom lacing his tongue. Jimin could sense the hostility in his voice. He was quiet for a while before he took a deep breath and answered back.

"Yes, by being gay. I'm no longer ashamed of myself. I'm me and that's never going to change" He said in a quiet voice.

There was an uncomfortable silence followed by his father's loud laughter.

"If that's how you want it, then you'll get it. From now on, you are no longer a part of this family. You shall receive no inheritance from us because the company shall go public"

He hissed. "Think about what you've done because it's all your fault"

Jimin couldn't deny that it hurt. To think that he had dedicated so many years to the company only for his parents to let it go simply because he chose to be himself but if they thought they could tie him down again by threatening him then they where wrong.

He took a deep breath "You can do whatever you want. I'm not backing down"

He could hear his mother sniffing. "Jimin, all you had to do was ignore it. Being gay is bad. It's shameful. I can't help you if you keep up with this abominable behavior"

More silence.

"I'm sorry that i am not the man you always wanted me to be. I'm sorry i disappointed you but this is me and i can't help it. I only wish you could see that but I can't force you to do so" He finally said with a broken voice.

He took a deep breath. "So, I'm going ahead with the divorce. You both can do whatever you like...I'm done"

He ended the call, tears falling down his eyes. His chest tightened and he felt like he couldn't breathe. He felt relieved but at the same time saddened. What was he going to do now? How was he going to pick up the broken pieces of his life?

Soon, he would not only be divorced, he would be disowned by his parents, disinherited and unemployed living on nothing but his hard earned savings. To top it all, Taehyung was going to be leaving the next day without any memories of him from the other time line.

While being burdened by such thoughts, his mind wandered over to Hoseok his closest pal after Taehyung. What had happened to them? They just slowly drifted apart after Jimin's wedding and had unfortunately stopped communicating with each other in almost three years. The last time they met and talked was at a shopping mall. They hadn't said much. Just asked each other how they where doing before going their separate ways. Jimin didn't know what really happened between them. All he knew was that Hoseok was really upset with him and he had no idea why.

He could remember the conversation he had with him on the day of his wedding.

He had been drinking too much at the reception while watching Jeonyeong in her wedding dress dancing with guests. Hoseok had snatched the glass cup from his hand glaring at him.

"Are you happy now? Hiding like a coward and being sorry for yourself?"

He looked around and scoffed. "I only came because you are still my friend but i can't stand the hypocrisy and besides your parents don't want me around you because I'm gay"

Jimin sighed sadly.

"You messed up Jimin and it's so sad because you don't even know how you messed up. I just hope one day you realize it but as for me, I'm not going to be around to
continue this farce with you. It's too toxic for me"

Jimin grabbed his hand. "But i don't have a choice..."

Hoseok pulled his hand away. "You always have a choice...Bye Jimin and good luck. When you've finally gotten your head straight, you know where to find me"

Jimin now stood in front of a white duplex. According to what Namjoon had told him, Hoseok and Yoongi had bought the house three years ago. He was super nervous about how his old friend would react to seeing him again but he had to mend their broken friendship, somehow someway no matter what.

So he rang the doorbell. He could hear a voice he recognized as Hoseok's shouting from inside but after a while, the door flung open and Hoseok stood there in front of him. At first, he looked shocked but then a small frown played on his lips as he stared at him.

"What are you doing here?"

Jimin took a deep breath unsure of how to begin but he had to start somehow "I don't know what happened between us all these years but what ever it is, i want to mend it..."

Hoseok rolled his eyes "It's been ten years Jimin!"

"I'm getting a divorce!"

Hoseok's eyes widened.

"You're what?"

"Divorcing Jeonyeong and as a result, my parents are going to disown and disinherit me"

Hoseok's eyes changed into one of sympathy as he suddenly took Jimin's hand.

"Come in!" He said softly pulling him inside the house and shutting the door behind him. The house was big but messy with paper littered around the floor

Hoseok smiled. "Sorry about the mess. Yoongi has being busy producing music lately so the house always ends up being like this on such days"

At that moment, Yoongi walked towards them eating something from a bowl as a small dog followed behind him. He paused as soon as he saw Jimin.

"Park Jimin? Long time no see!" he said with a wide gummy smile.

Jimin smiled "How are you Yoongi?"

The other shrugged. "Just okay. I'm surprised to see that the clueless friend is here"

He winked at Hoseok who instantly looked embarrassed.

"Shut up babe and try cleaning up the mess you made"

Yoongi just chuckled and started walking away.

"Good seeing you again Jimin" He called out. Hoseok shook his head as he watched him leave.

"It's good to see you two are still together" Jimin mentioned

Hoseok sighed. "Happy that you see it that way. Seriously, relationships are hard" he said slumping on the couch.

"Do you know how many times we've broken up this year alone?"

Jimin stared at him as he spoke "Three times!"

He sighed. "It really hasn't been easy. We've had our ups and downs but we always managed to get back together because we don't always mean to hurt each other. It just happens"

"Sometimes, I get so sick and tired of him. like I just want to punch him in the face and never see him again but those feelings are just temporary because in the end, it's always him. It's always Yoongi"

Jimin felt so emotional hearing that but it also reminded him of his own bad luck in the romance aspect of his life.

"You didn't come here just to fawn over me and Yoongi did you?"

Jimin shook his head and sat beside him.

"No, I just wanted to see you again. I also wanted to know why we drifted apart from each other. What really happened?"

Hoseok took a deep breath. "I was dissapointed in you and sorry for him"

Jimin was confused. "Him?"

Hoseok shook his head "Taehyung!"

He chewed his lip. "You treated him like trash Jimin. It was so bad I couldn't bear to see him like that"

"I don't understand...."

"Did you not know or did you pretend not to know that Taehyung liked you"

Jimin was beginning to understand what Hoseok was getting at as the latter continued

"Now that Jungkook and Taemin are no longer getting married you must be happy and satisfied"

Jimin shook his head "Actually, I'm not and in reality, I feel sorry for Jungkook"

Hoseok scoffed "You feel sorry for him"

"You wouldn't understand. Anyway, I got over my obsession with Jungkook and discovered he wasn't the one for me all along. I've been so occupied with questions unaware that the answer was right in front of me"

Hoseok just stared at him as he continued.

"I now understand where part of your anger comes from. It's from Taehyung. I didn't recognize Taehyung's feelings for me because i was too wrapped up in the heart break i suffered from Jungkook and i was too much of a coward to go against my parents but now, it's different. I've finally discovered what I have to do"

Hoseok shrugged. "I don't know...because it's already too late for you to change anything Jimin. It's been ten years and everyone is living their own lives now"

Jimin shook his head "It's not too late for me. I have to meet Taehyung because there's something i must confirm from him"

"Why? You don't even like him. Besides, he'll be leaving tomorrow"

Jimin stopped to gaze intensely at him.

"Wait, have you been keeping in touch with Taehyung all these years"

The look of guilt on Hoseok's face answered it all and Jimin scoffed in disbelief

"I can't believe this. You kept your distance from me all these years while you kept in touch with Taehyung. What a friend you are"

"Sorry Jimin but i couldn't bear to see you living like that. I was mad at you for hurting Taehyung"

"But Taehyung isn't your friend. I am" Jimin cried.

Hoseok sniffed. "I'm sorry but i figured you weren't too bothered about it so i just let you be"

Jimin laughed to himself. "I can't believe this" He muttered under his breath.

Hoseok finally offered him a genuine smile.
"I'm sorry Jimin"

Jimin waved it off with his hands.

"It's okay Hobi"

"So what are you going to do now?"

Jimim breathed deeply. "I don't know but what I'm sure of is that tomorrow, I'll meet with Taehyung and talk to him face to face"

"Okay, if you say so"

Jimin suddenly looked nervous.

"I'm sorry Hobi but can i spend the night here? I really don't want to be alone today"

Hoseok nodded his head. "Of course Jimin. Come here"

He spread his arms wide and Jimin embraced him tightly.

"I missed you my friend" He whispered.

"I missed you too" Hoseok whispered back.
