Jin's stomach was filled with goodness and happiness. He smiled as he placed the last piece of food in his mouth, devouring the last bits of it. His brother wasn't surprised, he always knew how much of an eater his younger brother was. The only thing that could surprise him is whenever he would deny his offering of food.

"Now..cared to explain to me who made you like this?" Jin frowned, he was just enjoying his food and now he had to explain everything.

"Hyung..did you ever fight with noona?" His brother chuckled, nodding as he remembered the times they would fight but make up the next day. It was part of relationships, with anyone, family or friends or partners, one had to forgive and the other as well.

"Well yeah, it's normal for one in a relationship to fight or disagree with something, but in the end, one has to know their wrong doing and come to an agreement and apologize. Why the question?" Jin smiled, looking down. Maybe this was one of those stupid fights, maybe Taehyung didn't mean it.

"Hyung?..do you think I would possibly find love?" His brother's eyes dropped at the question. He knew how much Jin didn't have much experience in love, or how to deal with it, it was just something he never talked about with him.

"Of course you will Jin-ah..maybe not yet, but sooner or later, you will. Everyone does." Seok-joong smiled, reassuring his brother. It was the truth. Anyone could think they won't find what they want, but in the end, they will, with a few struggles here and there, anyone will find the things they dearly desire.

"You think so?.." his brother nodded, walking over to Jin and placing his lips on his head. Jin smiled, his brother must be right, he was always right, so he believed him.

"Now, who made you think that way? I might have to speak with him man to man" Seok-joong asked as he smiled, annoyed at the fact that someone made his brother cry.

"No one hyung, don't worry about it" Jin tried to convince his brother to cool down, as he didn't want any more trouble as it was now. His brother hummed, sitting down next to Jin as he pet his hair. He cared for his brother, a lot than anyone could imagine, and to think that he was crying over some ass just pissed him off.

"Okay..but if that di- if that douche does something to make you cry again, I'm going to need his address, phone number, name, and everything to know who I'm going for" Jin laughed. He nodded as he wanted his brother to get rid of the idea of 'beating up' Taehyung, even if he didn't know who Taehyung was.

"Ah, also. Mother wants to see you, she misses you Jin-ah" Jin eyes sparkled at the word of his mother, it's been months since he last saw her and he honestly missed her a lot as well. He was caught up with working and trying to pay off rent that he forgot about anything else. The past days were the only days he got to relax, yet his mother never came up to his mind, he disappointed himself.

"Should I take you now?" Jin nodded, standing at his feet as they were both ready to go. Jin need to catch up on himself as well. Everything needed to go well.

...

Jin sat on a small white couch, his phone in his hand. It was around two in the afternoon when he arrived at his parents place. Seok-joong was currently in the kitchen, speaking with his mother as Jin stared at his phone. He waited for them, as he did so, a call popped up on his phone. He sighed. He had to do what was right.

"Taehyung" he said, his phone up to his ear as he heard silence from the other side. He felt as if his air was taken from him as he picked up the phone.

"Hyung..are you busy right now?" Jin stared at his brother, who came out with his mother who stared back at him. He smiled, getting up and excusing himself to another room. It was better to speak in private rather than public.

"I'm a bit..but I have time. What is it?" A part of Jin wanted to hang up and go back to his family, but the other side wanted to stay and hear Tae's voice, it's been long since he heard it, and he was missing it dearly.

"Can..Can i see you? I don't want to do it over the phone.." Jin sighed, he had just got to his mother's house and Taehyung wanted to see him.

"I have time in 4 hours, meet me at my work place" Taehyung smiled on the other side of the phone, but tried to keep it to himself. He said yes and they bid their goodbyes, Jin going back to his family, sitting down next to his brother.

"Seokjinnie, where have you been all this time?" Jin smiled at his mother. His mother had a kind heart, and he should have known better that she would worry too much.

"Working Ma, I'm sorry I haven't called you, I've just been busy" grabbing onto her hands softly, she smiled and nodded. Jin has always been a hard worker, wanting to best out of his work and to make his parents proud.

"It's okay Jin-ah, just make sure to take care of yourself, okay?" He nodded, still holding her hand as they caught up with the remaining talk.

"You're getting married?!" Jin was in full shock, he knew how much Seok-joong had loved his partner but Jin was just full of shock at the moment. His brother smiled, laughing as he nod his head.

"Yeah, we both decided it was for the best. We love each other and want to be together, so why not?" Jin smiled. His brother was right. They were the love birds anyone could imagine.

"When's the wedding?"

"Late August"

...

Jin stood in front of Taehyung, who held out his hands as it contained tulips, blue ones. Taehyung had remembered a while back how Jin would look at them so much. Guessing, he grabbed a bouquet of them and was nervous of what Jin thought, as he hadn't said anything since.

"Tulips..my favorite" Tae's heart flipped as he heard the response. He smiled, Jin receiving them as he smelled them. He loved the way they looked, smelled and felt. Tulips were just his favorites from all.

"Hyung..can we speak somewhere private?" Jin looked up, seeing Tae's face and smiled. It would be better. Walking next to each other in silence, Taehyung couldn't help but spare a few glances to Jin. He had missed him dearly, and to believe he would miss anyone like this, he was happy it was Jin that he missed.

They stopped at the park that was close to the shop, sitting down on a bench that was placed in front of a playground. Seeing the many kids play around, Jin couldn't help but smile at the sight of them. It made his heart fill up with shop to the sight of kids being kids.

"Hyung.." Jin's attention turned to Tae, smiling as he always would whenever someone called him.

"Forgive me..I may not be good with my words but..I never intended to tell you what I did the last time we met. I..wasn't thinking at all, I was caught up in my emotions that I didn't released I was hurting you until the very end. Seokjin hyung..think of me as an asshole, a dick, anything and it's okay if you do! I told myself many times I was those for hurting someone like you..you're precious Jin, to me and to anyone else in this world. You deserve love and you are going to get it..I'm sorry hyung, for being such a immature kid, for being too much for you when you should be getting much more" Jin's eyes fell into Tae's, smiling as his heart warmed up with the words of Tae's.

"Hyung..I'm sorry.."

"Tae.."
