Tae walks in front of Jimin's door. Trying to decide if he should confront him with the fact that he's in love with the same person who had them all killed.

As he's contemplating, Jimin suddenly opens his door and is startled to see his brother there.

"Oh Hyung, why are you here?"

Tae once again hears him call him 'Hyung' and he's convinced he already knows everything.

"This is the second time I've heard you call me Hyung. Why? Did you know too? This entire time?" Tae asked.

Jimin walks closer to him and instantly feels the brotherly affection he used to feel. Then as he looks upon his face, he gets flashes of his punishment. Of the centuries he's had to endure roaming the world. Losing everyone he's ever loved, over and over again.

He then reaches his hand out and caresses his face.

"Hyung.. oh how you've suffered. I didn't know until recently. He showed me our past life." He then rushes over to hug him tight, crying into his chest.

"I'm so sorry Hyung."

Tae wraps his arms around him, and tells him, "None of it was your fault. It was all him."

As they pull away, Tae shakes his head and adds, "I can't believe that in this life, you have once again fallen in love with him. And he's hurt you again."

Jimin wipes his tears and laughs derisively. Then says, "I am doomed to make the same mistake over and over again. Until we get it right.. it won't be in this lifetime though."

While they are talking, Jungkook drops in on Jin. Startling him when he appears out of nowhere.

He stands solemnly against the wall and after Jin yells at him for scaring him, he then gets nervous and asks, "Are you here for me?" Meaning if he's finally coming to collect his soul.

And when Jungkook nods yes, thinking Jin means if he needs someone to talk to. Jin panics and starts to run around. Screaming that he's too young to die and that he can't take him yet, since he's destined to pull out the sword from his husbands chest.

That catches Jungkook's attention and he asks, "You? You can see it?"

"Yes! So you see, I can't go yet. You can come back for me in 60 years. I'll be ready by then."

Jungkook was about to tell him that once he removes the sword, that Tae will disappear into nothingness. But then figured that there must be a reason why Tae hasn't shared that part with him. So he decided to keep quiet about it. Especially since Tae is currently angry at him.

"Relax.. I just needed someone to talk to.. I don't have any friends. And you're the only one I could think of."

"Oh.. I see.. what about my boss? Why didn't you try to talk to him? You two like each other right?" Jin naively asks.

Jungkook frowns at the mention of Jins boss. And when Jin notices, he then understands.

"What happened?" Jin asked. He pointed towards the chair and told him to sit while he sat across from him.

"Didn't he tell you?"

"No, he just told me to pack a bag and we came here."

Jungkook looks around and asked, "Why Canada of all places? He could've stayed in Korea."

"I don't know. But he likes coming here." Jin didn't feel it was his place to explain Tae's connection to the place.

Jungkook then awkwardly asks, "Has.. has Jimin spoken of me? I mean recently."
