"Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird,
That cannot fly.

Hope brings expectations and expectations bring disappointments, heart breaks. You can walk just fine while carrying a broken heart inside your chest. Everybody cares about broken hands,legs because they are apparent, broken hearts aren't. Besides, hands and legs bring money, food to your home, what's the function of your heart other than keeping you alive? Thus you can't blame anyone for not giving a damn about your broken heart. So does that mean no hope is equal to no heart breaks? That's not completely true, my brain says. Heart breaks are inevitable and hope is just a side effect of heart breaks.

That's why I didn't get my hopes up when I saw Kook's doe eyes shining bright with newly found hope and determination. I gave him a tight lipped smile in response and went outside to smoke my nervousness away.

"Is everything okay?", a voice filled with concern asked from behind. I didn't need to turn around to find out who did the voice belong to, it was Nina's.

"What are you doing here,Nina? Do you want everybody to find out you're fucking me behind your husband's back?".

"It's not like he's not fucking around behind my back. He brings chicks home almost every night and fucks them in our bed but you don't see me complaining, do you?", she raised her perfectly trimmed eyebrows at me.

" I don't understand you rich people, I really don't. None of you are capable of having a healthy relationship, none of you are capable of leading a happy life. Tell me Nina,what's the point of having so much wealth if they can't make you happy?".

"I really don't know the answer to your question darling. Think you can warm my bed tonight?", she said, tracing my collarbone with one of her manicured nails.

" No. I have company.", I said before gently shoving her hand off my neck.

"So that boy in black suit somehow managed to break the walls around your heart, eh?".

" What are you talking about? ", I scoffed.

" You know exactly what I'm talking about darling, don't pretend to be surprised.", she said, planting a soft kiss on my left cheek.

"No, I don't.", I sighed.

" Tae, what are you doing here? Is everything okay?", Jungkook said and wrapped his arms around my neck, catching me off-gaurd. I reluctantly hugged him back and told him that everything was fine. When I pulled away from the warm hug I turned around to see Nina's reaction only to find the place empty.

"Looking for someone?".

" Not really.", I shook my head. "Can I head home? i'm not feeling well."

"Sure. I'm not feeling well either.".

" What about Jin and Suga?".

"They'll understand. Don't worry about them."

"Okay.", I said.

" Actually, Emilia is not at home. So I was wondering if you'd like to spend the night with me?"
