"I'm fine", Jungkook answered back.

Lie.

He wasn't fine at all.

Taehyung looked at him worriedly. He stares at him as silence engulfed them while looking at each other.

He still knows the old Jungkook even though they were far away from each other for the past years.

His hands reaches for Jungkook's face, touching it softly as his hands go on his side, tucking his hair behind.

"I know that we've been far away from each other but I am still the same Taehyung you met four years ago. You can trust me and tell me everything", Taehyung says smiling, assuring him.

And Taehyung felt a warm hugs wrap around his waist as the other cries in his chest. He patted the other's back gently.

He let him cry and waited for him to finish. Few moments later he was done and unwrapped himself.

"Are you okay now, hmm?", He recieved a nod from the other.

Jungkook wipes his tears using his palms. "I can tell you now", they fixes their sitting position and Jungkook non verbally ask for Taehyung's hand to hold him in which the other gladly accepted.

"It was true that I am fine. I am fine because I am still physically healthy and I am happy because Taegguk is with me"

"When you left, it hurted me. The hyungs are not with me too. I was left alone the whole time. After the business trip, I and father came back from the house. I was so excited because I can be able to see you finally after weeks of being away. You're not around the mansion, everywhere so I ask the maids. They tried to lie but I can see in their eyes that they are lying. I ended up forcing them to tell me where you are. I got angry. Because I was expecting you to be there, maybe sleeping or feeding Taegguk. You know, something that I was expecting but ended up being disappointed because the person you've been looking for is not in there"

"I misses you"

"I deprived for you"

Jungkook says in all honesty. His other hand reached for Taehyung's cheek, caressing it softly.

"I got angry then runs to my father's office. I said something that I didn't expect that say to him. I feel an imaginary lashes removes in my neck after shouting that"

"I made an impulsive decision by packing all of my and Taegguk's things and left without having a plan of were we will going to live"

"I should escape. The only thought I can think of that time"

"We first stayed in hotels then I look for cheap apartment we could stay. It took me three days to find one and go there"

"It was hard because I don't know how to do anything. I always ask the landlady to help me to do this and that, even preparing Taegguk's milk. We don't have utensils or materials to use for cooking so I borrowed the landlady's stuff, good thing they were good and understand my situation"

"They helped me. I only have few money left and personal bank account that father didn't know"

"I decided to look for a job, I got accepted but I requested for work from home set up so I could still afford Taegguk's diaper and milk"

"I am very thankful that everyone I am asking help and favors understand my situation. It took me months to adjust but I'm glad that I manage to do everything on my own"

Jungkook's smiles as he reminisce the moments he became the stronger version of himself.

"And here we are now, I am no longer my father's puppet. I have a life together with Taegguk"

He let go of Taehyung's hands.

Taehyung was just looking at him in his eyes, with a proud smile painted on his face.

"Sorry for leaving you behind. Sorry for leaving and letting others to control the situation and destiny for us. I was scare that time, and when they left me in the park, I felt sudden freedom that I didn't got after living with your father's rules"

"I was alone for a few days until someone found me. I was desperate to go out of my situation so I agreed to join him"

Jungkook furrows his eyebrows from 'him'

"Then another family accepted me. They have an association that the motives is to help the unwanted ones like surrogates"

"I found my home, apparently"

But it's not as homely as being with you

"They helped me too. I got the chance to study with scholarship. They supported me in everything. When I decided to go abroad for a year, they supported"

"I am happy with my life. But you know something is always missing when you're far away from your homeland"

I miss the two of you

"I got everything I was lack few years ago. I found my family", Jungkook tenses, is that mean he have a family of his ow—

"The family who adopted me was my real family. They are my real parents, and the one who got me was apparently my older brother", Taehyung added.

"I love my life now", he finishes.

After that, they were now silent until Jungkook broke it.

"I miss you, still", he says looking at Taehyung's eyes.

The other nods, mouthing me too.

They sighed, their lives was played and since the people who are trying to hold back is not on the way, is there still a chance for them to have a happily ever after.

Jungkook took Taehyung's hands and wrapping him with his own.

"Maybe we can forget the past and start a new story of us. Can we?", Jungkook says, asking Taehyung.

Taehyung nods, smiling as he leans his body to Jungkook's big one.

They hug each other.

They felt love

Once again.

Jungkook detached himself to Taehyung and make him in front of him.

He leans, directing to his lips.

He look again to Taehyung, asking his permission which the latter nods desperately.

They both lean towards each other and slowly attaches their lips together.

They kissed in lips. For the first time.
