The next morning
You informed the day off, for the three of you. You came out of the room but the house was silent. You slowly opened their room to see both the boys sleeping peacefully.

Jungkook was clinging onto Taehyung. You couldn't stop laughing. Jungkook can't sleep without hugging someone or something.

Today, Taehyung was his pillow. Taehyung would have had a hard time falling asleep. You pulled out your phone and clicked a few pictures.

You took Jungkook's separately but your eyes fell on Taehyung. You didn't know what to feel for him. The only person who stayed after Jungkook. He consistently took the next steps to you.

You and Jungkook were friends from the beginning. But your feelings kept changing with Taehyung. You softly sat beside them. You brushed Taehyung's hair.

You had an urge to kiss him. You trailed your fingers along with his lips. You stood up controlling yourself. You left their room.

You didn't know how to interpret these feelings. They were new. You sat at the kitchen table and had your morning coffee.

After some time both of them came to the kitchen. Sleepy Taehyung was looking like a teddy bear. Jungkook was so sleepy that he didn't even open his eyes.

"If you are that sleepy why did you wake up?" you asked him. He didn't answer. Instead, he sat on the stool and buried his head in the crook of the neck. "Yah! Move", you tried to push him.

"Five minutes", he mumbled. "I am taking my leave Ms Lee", Taehyung bowed to you. He changed his clothes and went home.

You and Jungkook had a lot to catch up on. Taehyung went home and explained everything to his mom. She was cool about it as he wasn't staying alone with a girl.

Taehyung fell on his bed and stared at the ceiling. The previous night played in his mind. He couldn't even imagine how both of you struggled and came through it.

You wore a tough mask so that no one would disturb or hurt you. Jungkook wore a mask where he wanted the love that he lost from his parents. Everyone was wearing a mask.

Taehyung wore a mask, even though he was in debt he didn't do anything to earn money. He was an ethical person. He decided to end his crush on you.

Jungkook seemed to love you so much. The morning sight was a typical couple sight. He understood that you both need not confess or something.

You both were naturally into the process. A tear escaped from his eyes. "I shouldn't have kissed her that day. I can't control myself", he wiped his tears. His heart was experiencing pain.

He didn't even worry this much when his wedding was called off. "Taehyung ah, come and have your breakfast", his mother called him. He was being served while his mom adored him.

"Aren't you lonely, the house is so silent without me and Taehee", he said. "I am used to it. I am happy if you both are doing well", she said. He was happy to have a family.

A peaceful family to be exact. He smiled at her being grateful. The mother and son duo had some talk and they watched a few variety shows.

While you and Jungkook were also spending some time. "You seem very close to your secretary", Jungkook said. "He is the one who is putting up with me", you said.

"Do you like him? Like as a man?" Jungkook asked. "I don't know Jungkook", you sighed. "This is why you should have dated men so that you would know", he said.

"What about you? Don't you have a girlfriend now?" you asked. "No, it's not working out. I decided to wait and find someone", he said. You nodded. "If you like Taehyung, confess to him", he said.

"He genuinely likes you. He is all grumpy when I am clinging to you", he laughed. "You did it on purpose", you rolled your eyes. "I did. It was fun", he giggled.

"Grow up, Jungkook", you hit him. The day went quickly. The upcoming days were also normal. Except, Jaymin kept complaining about Jungkook's interference in the project.

He was frustrated that he couldn't come anywhere near you. You thought that you would spend more time with your secretary but Jungkook often snatched him for the project and stuff.

You received an email. It was an invitation to a business party. You sighed. There were a lot of prestigious people attending. You thought that you could send Jungkook.

But Jungkook refused to tell me that he has an appointment. You decided to go by yourself. You thought of accompanying Taehyung. "Mr Kim, there is a party tomorrow.

Can you accompany me?" you asked him. His heart was willing to say yes but his brain denied it. He didn't want to get attached to you. "Uhm, Ms Lee, my apologies. I have some plans", he lied.

"Fine. I will take care", you sent him. "What does this Jungkook idiot have to do?" you mumbled. On the day of the party, you braced yourself to meet a lot of people. You hated that but still, you can't avoid certain things.

You had to interact with people, usually business people. Some were flirty without knowing about you. You tried to be calm. The party was over, finally.

"I am going to kill Jungkook for making me do this", you mouthed out. Meanwhile, Taehyung was sitting in front of a convenience store. He was drunk.

"Who am I? I am just an ordinary person. While she can have anyone she wants", he hiccuped, drinking the alcohol. "I shouldn't have kissed her. No, I shouldn't have met her", his mind was messy.

He was messy. Your car passed through the convenience store. You spotted him. "Ahjushi, please stop the car", you said. You went near the table to confirm whether it was him.

Your eyes widened at the state he was in. "Mr Kim", you called. He looked up at you. "Ms Lee", he smiled like a child. "Am I dreaming?" he asked. You sighed.

After so much ordeal, you took him to his home. "Oh my God, Ms Lee", his mother panicked to see the state of her son. "Don't worry, I will take him in", you made him walk.

"I want some water", you said. He clung to you talking some incoherent words. "Lee y/n, I love you", that's the last thing you heard from him.
