The next day arrived earlier than usual.At least that's what Taehyung felt as he drove towards Jungkook's company.

It was almost 2pm now.He somehow managed to cancel his schedules for the rest of the day and then drove towards his destination, asking Eric and his bodyguards to give him some space for the time being.He was feeling so many emotions at the same time but one, nervousness to be specific, of them stood out the most at the moment.

Yeah, he was nervous.Why wouldn't he?He's going to meet Taesung, his brother most probably within an hour.He is aware of how much that boy probably hates him.But Taehyung would never blame him for that.It's not like, they had the best brothers' relationship back then.

Hell, Taesung was even younger when Taehyung left his so called home and family.From then, they never got any chance to meet face to face.Though Taehyung has kept track of the younger boy's life till now, he has always done it secretly.He didn't bother to check up on his parents though.

Taesung is a different case because Taehyung, sometimes feels bad for him.Yeah, his parents put efforts on Taesung to some extent but Taehyung doubts if they were even capable of giving enough love to their physically weak son.At least, Taehyung had his loving grandparents with him but Taesung literally had no-one except their money-driven, arrogant parents.So Taehyung felt the need to secretly check up on him every now and then.

But with how busy of a lifestyle he has, it wasn't possible for him to know every little thing about Taesung.That's the reason he doesn't know what caused Taesung to hate him so much.Because as long as he remembers, Taesung was always a harmless, sweet child.

Just like Taehyung, he also seeked for love and warmth which Taehyung doubts he had ever recieved.So yeah...he's looking forwards to meet the younger Kim.After all, he wants answers, answers for every hassle Taesung made him go through!

Jungkook was drawing a few outfits he'd be working on the following month while his mind was on the door, expecting someone's visit.Soon enough, a polite knock was hard.Jungkook took a deep breathe and allowed the person outside to come inside.As expected, it was Kim Taesung.

The younger greeted Jungkook by bowing a little bit to which Jungkook bowed back with a small smile.He asked the other to take a seat before taking his own.He professionally talked about the work progress, trying not to show his anxiety.His eyes darted towards the door every once in a while, impatient for Taehyung's arrival.It didn't take much time before the door of his cabin got opened from outside.Taesung looked back to see who came in without knocking but his eyes widened seeing Taehyung standing there with a blank face.

It was hard to decipher what was going inside the elder's head.It's not like Taesung cared though.A scoff of disbelief left his mouth as he glanced back at Jungkook, eyes showing anger.He didn't expect the other to do this.It was highly unprofessional but oh well, he did it anyways and now was looking at him with an unreadable gaze.

Soon Jungkook left the room without uttering a single word.But before going out, he looked at Taehyung with concern to which the elder responsed with a tight lipped smile, silently telling that he'll handle it.

Once Jungkook was out of the cabin, Taehyung took slow bit steady steps towards the chair Jungkook was sitting on earlier.He sat there and looked at Taesung right in his eyes, trying to read what's going on in that head.He couldn't see much except uneasiness and anger.He was surprised, not seeing the most expected hatred in those pair of eyes which looked quite similar to his own, except for the hetero eyelids part.

"So your lover knows who I am." Taesung spoke up, gritting his teeth but Taehyung remained calm, just nodding his head firmly.

"He also knows how much effort you are putting just in order to bring me down." Taehyung answered, tone unfazed just like the tone he uses to the people who aren't close to him in any ways.

Taesung's body visibly tensed after hearing Taehyung.He didn't expect the elder to know everything beforehand.But again, it was the almighty Kim Taehyung.It wasn't that hard for him to find out the one behind all the mess he has been facing.

"I don't mean any harm to you.Then why?Why are you doing all these stuffs?Both you and I know that whatever you're doing is not even going to move a single hair of mine. Rumors are always rumors. You can try all you want but you can't turn them into truth. You are just wasting your time in something which is turning you into a person you never wanted to become.I never want anything against you.That's why I'm not letting the company take any action but that doesn't mean, I'll take everything you give me silently.Don't try me.After all, I'm a human too. Don't push me too much to lose my mind.Because once it happens, I'll forget that YOU. ARE. MY. BROTHER."

The way Taehyung spoke had too much authority.He didn't look anything like the Taehyung when he's beside Jungkook.The room felt silent for some time before a sound of laughing erupted inside the room.Taehyung, though looked uninterested, he was getting concerned by how Taesung was behaving.For a moment,he felt that the boy was far from the boy he knew, far from the boy who's his younger brother.

"W-what d-did you say?" Taesung asked, wiping the tears that left his eyes because of too much laughing.

"You will forget that I am your brother?Why are you acting like you ever remembered me as one." Taesung growled, getting red from anger.

His laughter was gone long ago.He started panting, glaring holes through Taehyung's soul who sat there without showing the concern he felt for the younger.He still looked blank just like before.He knew that Taesung gets angry easily just like him and he also knew how to use this anger of the younger to spill out some things he would never say aloud at usual times.So he acted like he didn't give a fuck, just to rile the boy up.

"Kim Taehyung, you are nothing to me.You never were.If anything, you ruined my life, my whole childhood.You ran away like the coward you actually are.You only thought about yourself.Now don't you dare say something like you even remember me." Taesung's eyes were spitting fire at this point.

But oh well, he failed to notice how the elder masked the amused expression that just appeared for few nanoseconds and returned to his usual blank look.He failed to notice the determination in Taehyung's eyes which observed him like the eyes of an expert psychologist do, now being able to read him like a book...

Like an open book to be exact !
