Quote of the day :- The heart is anchor to all the things , be it love to hate or light to dark .

🤍🤍🤍

Jungkook slowly lets the door of taehyung's room open as he steps in after complete half an hour when he was sure that taehyung fell asleep by now . Closing the door behind , he turns around and looks at the sleeping figure on the bed , his eyes water at the sight of his love sleeping yet still he looks not so peaceful . Walking towards him , he crouches down beside the bed , his eyes never leaving taehyung's face .

Jungkook doesn't utter a word , he doesn't have guts to . He looks at him with teary eyes before letting his hands comb through his hairs , the touch making taehyung to let out an inaudible sigh in his sleep . The state in which taehyung is sleeping makes him feel so so bad as a boyfriend .

The way his eyebrows are turned into a frown , the way his eyeballs are moving here and there behind the closed eyes , those lips formed in a straight line , the creases on his forehead and the paleness of his cheeks , jungkook just can't control himself . What kind of boyfriend is he to his hyungie , he thinks .

His hyungie was always in the darkness yet he always tried providing him the light he needed making him his centre of attention which perhaps jungkook took for granted . He never knew , neither did he tried peeking in his hyung's life to know him more , he could have tried if he was out of his own misery but he never was .

A tear slips down his eyes landing on the bed beside taehyung as jungkook mumbles ,

I am sorry hyungie , your baby is so sorry for not paying any attention on you . I was so busy with myself only , making myself the centre of attention all the time when you were the one who needed the love . I am feeling so ashamed of myself , he looks down as tears keep running down his face , I am sorry , he hardly mumbles trying his best to talk but his voice giving up . He feels so so ashamed of himself that he knows he won't be able to even hold an eye contact with his hyungie anymore .

A hand on his shoulder startles him as he looks up to see sara standing there with tears in her eyes too . He looks at her and she nods . Looking at taehyung one last time , he stands up as sara guides him out of the room leaving taehyung to sleep . Though taehyung squirms as soon as that warm hand that was caressing his hair is taken away but jungkook knows that he will sleep peacefully though for a little time .

Sara takes him out of the room and towards his own , all the time he keeps looking down . Once they reach there , he looks up to see mingyu sitting there too on his couch . The male smiles softly and gestures to him to sit beside him which he does .

He turns towards jungkook and sighs before looking directly in his eyes , he says ,

I need you to know a few things I know Taehyung will never dare to say it to you and you need to know so , jungkook has the idea where this is going and nods .

Taking one deep breath after looking at the two figures sitting with him , mingyu finally says ,

When taehyung was 4 , his dad abandoned him and left him at the door of an orphanage far away from his reach or his mother's reach . It took me around 3 months to find out about his whereabouts , I was desperately searching for him cause it was hard for me to digest that a 4 year old baby was left alone even after having his parents and I also saw sara being so vulnerable and emotionless after that man took her baby away . I tried to take him into my custody but that was never possible so I gave up at one point and started keeping a close eye on him . On his fifth birthday , I went to meet him in the orphanage with his favourite strawberry cake and few gifts . Few on Sara's behalf and few on mine . He never recognised me and I don't blame him cause he was a baby after all and I never tried to even make him remember, we became good friends , he used to share everything with me and one day when he was around 12 years old , he expressed something that took me off guard

Mingyu takes a pause looking at the two . Jungkook has his head hung low , tears streaming down his face while sara is crying with a fist in her skirt . Mingyu takes a hold of her hand while he rubs jungkook's back as he continues .

He narrated me how his appa has left him on the door of orphanage and how he used to be so aggressive with his eomma whenever he and her would spend time together . He told me that it will be his ultimate wish to at least be able to see his parents once even if from afar , doesn't matter
. That took my heart and broke it badly , I couldn't hold back anymore so I told him about who I am and made him remember me which made him hug me tightly and cry his heart out . After that day I took him to you once as I had promised but I never knew that 12 year old boy will remember the adress and will continue visiting though he never went near both of you . He saw him abusing you in every way possible and the burning youth in him made that violance has an impact on his mind , that's why he is like this at this point but sara I don't think he is any more disgusting than his father , sara squeezes mingyu's hand hearing his words . A hiccup leaves her lips as she says , still looking down ,

I never meant that gyu . I - I thought he never knew anything about me being abused , I thought it was in his blood , I am a very bad mother , she cries and mingyu can't hold back , he pulls her in his embrace , letting her cry on his shoulder all while jungkook sits there letting his stream of tears fall down and wet his clothes .

Sara has no idea her son always watched her husband beating her to pulp , she never knew what her words would leave as an impact on her son's mind , she never knew the circumstances , lack of affection made her son this vulnerable and insecure . Only if she knew but now she knows everything.

Pulling herself out of mingyu's arms , she looks at jungkook and pulls him in her embrace , the boy having no strength to talk as he is feeling miserable , sad , angry and ashamed of himself .

Shh baby , we will work hard on him stop crying please , see eomma is getting hurt , she tries as he hugs her more mumbling ,

I will do anything to make him happy eomma , I will do anything trust me , sara sniffs and nods ,

Me too , we will work together don't worry , Mingyu softly smiles looking at the duo as he feels relief that finally taehyung has someone who will understand him as him and not someone who is shallow , bad and dangerous .

But no one knows what fate has planned and what future will bring despite the vows and promises a heart and a soul makes .
