'Shaveen! Shaveen!! Open the door please!'

'Mom I don't want this life, mom! I can't do this anymore...'

'We have enough work to do other than pampering you fully growned baby!'

'It's okay not to be okay bunny. Let me help you.'

'I'm your best friend forever! Goodbye bunny.'

'Was he a bully? Was he a rich piece of trash who was good for nothing?'

'He is toxic!'

'Omg! He is another innocent looking monster!'

'Remember my words bunny. I.Love.You.'

"No...no...please don't leave me! Please!! Please!!!"

Shaveen woke up screaming his lung out scared from the set of bad memories he was seeing in his dream. He turned on the lamp placed next to his bed and spent a few minutes getting some air into his lungs breathing heavily. Then he took the glass of water on the bedside stool to his hands.

Jungkook looked inside the glass and sighed as he saw his reflection in the water contained in it. He was feeling pathetic about himself. He was going through a terrible scandal the last week. Which he still couldn't get a proper solution. He was in trouble. Because of his behavior in the past.

Why life is so unfair?

Why do those darkest days of my life still haunt me?

Jungkook couldn't get any sleep after the horrible nightmare. There were few things for him to do when he was feeling down. One, talking to his best friend Jimin while the other is playing the guitar. He chose the second option because he didn't want to bother his loving friend at 3 in the morning.

Although he was trying to relax his messed-up mind, he couldn't stop himself from playing the saddest songs of the era.

He started with 'Goodbye to a World' by Porter Robinson and ended up playing his own song 'Fears'.

I wanna drown in the dark When I lose my hopes
I wanna swim in the shade
Of the worst days of my fears

Let me see your face
When I'm under the weather
Let me hide inside your heartWhen I'm feeling insecure

The fears of my pastWon't chase me when you're hereBecause those ghostsFears who I love so dearYou're the shield Of this brave warriorI have no fears when you're here

His voice was as good as The Nightingale's voice in the short story 'The Nightingale and The Rose' written by Oscar Wilde. It was so soothing to hear at a time when someone was feeling down. But his pain was reflected through that angelic voice.

He again let out a huge sigh at the end of the song because he was reminded of someone from the past. Jungkook kept his guitar back in the instruments room and started to walk back into his bedroom. But he stopped when he saw Namjoon in the kitchen running some operations.

"Hyung (Brother)?"

Namjoon waved at Jungkook without saying a word as he looked so busy with his cooking operations.

"What are you doing without sleeping?"

Jungkook asked while sitting on the round table in the pantry. Namjoon smiled showing his dimples and said,

"I heard someone singing like an angel from heaven when I was in the bathroom. So I thought of cooking him some yummy food as a treat."

Namjoon said while taking a plate out of the microwave. It was filled with a little bit of overcooked butter chicken.

"As a treat? I woke you up at 3 in the morning."

Jungkook said making a wry face feeling sorry for waking his brother up. Namjoon offered the food he made to Jungkook and sat next to him and said,

"You know I'm an early bird. I was having a shower when you were singing so...it's not you who woke me up. Now eat this and tell me whether I'm better than your Jin Hyung."

Jungkook put one piece of chicken into his mouth. He chewed it slowly and swallowed the thing when his eyes said how delicious it was.

"Umm..you have improved. I'm giving you 8.5 marks out of ten for today's food. Excellent!"

Jungkook kept all his sadistic attitudes aside for the moment and shouted. He then was going to take another from the plate he was offered but Namjoon hit his hand furiously.

"Why? Let me eat!"

"No! Why don't you just give me 10 out of 10 for my food?"

Namjoon pulled the plate to his side and asked with fake anger. Jungkook laughed a little while hugging Namjoon and whispered,

"Your food is the best, my brother. But you can never be a good chef as Jin."

"Duh! At least I'm a good elder brother."

Namjoon said giving back the plate to Jungkook. Jungkook took one hastily and stuffed it in his mouth. While chewing the food faster than before he said,

"Indeed. You are the best brother in the world. No matter how many brothers I meet none of them can take your place."

Namjoon patted his little brother with much love hiding his tears from him. With the spreading of the scandal, not only Jungkook but also his whole family started to recall the bitter past.

 When Jungkook said Namjoon was the best brother in the world he wondered if he deserve to be called like that.

Jungkook emptied the plate and went back to his bedroom after helping Namjoon to clean the dishes. Since he was a little bit more relieved than before he laid on his bed hoping he'd get some sleep sooner or later.
