Taehyung, who went to the kitchen because he was supposed to bring tea and snacks, finally came to the drawing room only to see everyone talking about Jeongguk. He could not help but ask, "What happened? Did Hyungie come yet?"

"Y-yeah, he came but went away being sad. . ." Sanya half-heartedly informed. As the brunette's ears caught the 'sad' word, he hurriedly kept the tray on the table and came running to the lady.

"Why? What happened, Aunty? Did someone say anything hurtful to him? Tell me, Aunty." The male was worried for his Hyungie, thinking what if someone offended the older? He could never forgive himself if such a thing happened.

"No, no, no! No one said anything to your Hyungie. Calm down, little one. He is just upset as you are getting married and soon would leave him, that's why." Sanya sweetly explained, so that she does not hurt the younger in any way.

"Hyungie is upset with me? I should go to him. Wait, let me go to him." With that, the younger was about to leave the house but Joshua held his arms, preventing him from doing so and Taehyung looked at the older male confusedly.

"TaeTae, it's fine. You stay here. Your future in-laws are here. Gguk would be okay soon. You concentrate here." The older Jeon said as he eyed his wife a bit to go and check on their son.

Sanya got the signal and soon left the house while Taehyung just longingly looked at Sanya's retracting figure.

On the other hand, the heartbroken ravenette locked himself in his room and threw stuff here and there. He was crying his heart out. What did he ever want in his life? He never complained about anything in his life. He just for once loved someone so dearly and lost them even before expressing his feelings to them. He never felt such a loser in his life as he was feeling losing his love.

Sanya hurriedly came and knocked at his door, she knew very well how terrible her son might be feeling. "Gguk, my bunny, please, open the door. Mom is here, please, open the door. Don't hurt yourself like that. Let me in there. Please, bunny, I know how horrible you are feeling. Please, my little one, open the door for mom." She was also crying as she heard many breaking noises from the room.

Jeongguk was shocked to hear that his mother knew about his feelings and he could guess the lady was crying too, thus, for the sake of his mother, the ravenette opened the door. As soon as Sanya entered the room, the male just hugged her tightly while crying his heart out.

"Why me, Mom? Why? Why can't I have my love? I have never complained about anything. Then why is God so unfair to me in this case?" Jeongguk let out while wetting his mother's clothes.

"Let it out, bun. Let it out. Mom is here for you." Sanya hugged him and patted his back.

"Am I not worth loving, Mom? Do I not deserve love as well? Why can't TaeTae love me as I do?" He put his questions in front of his mother. As she always had answers to his questions.

"Shush, don't say that, bun. You are more than worthy of love. You do deserve love as well. And much more than anyone else. But, bunny, as much as it hurts; it's a bitter truth that we don't always get the same love we do for someone. You can't force someone to love you." The mother replied while patting the crying male's back.

Jeongguk let Sanya's words sink into his mind, it was indeed a brutal truth. He might have fallen in love with the younger but how could he think that definitely Taehyung would love him in the same way? The younger had always seen him as a brother, friend, and role model. The brunette adored, respected, and admired him as an elder one only. Nothing more, nothing less.

The ravenette chuckled dryly and again asked his mother, "Why does our heart always want someone who is never in our fate?"

"That's a weird connection between heart and fate, my son. Our heart, when it loves, it doesn't see whom it's loving. It just loves without any conditions, but fate is always decided by the one who is above us. Everything happens for a reason. We should just sometimes let whatever is happening to happen. If it's meant for you, it would surely come around. You don't even have to force it." Sanya explained everything politely and beautifully that Jeongguk could not help but agree.

"But, Mom, what to do now? I don't know, Mom, I don't know." The ravenette was clueless that his mother just chuckled softly before answering.

"Do what your heart says. If you want to confess to Tae, then do it. But remember, even if he doesn't reciprocate the same, just let him go. Because you can still love a person by letting them go. Letting go is a form of true love. Got it, Bunny?" Jeongguk nodded in understanding.

"Okay, now, wipe your tears. And let's fix this room before your dad comes and scolds us." Sanga said, trying to lighten the mood of the male. And she seemed successful when the ravenette agreed.

Taehyung on the other hand was feeling bad for his Hyungie, he did not know why but he was feeling a weird sensation of guilt. Just then he received a notification from his Hyungie and he got scared. what if the older break their friendship? Thinking that his eyes started to become moist.

The brunette shakily took the phone and checked it, but soon his eyes turned into excited ones when he read the text:

Hey, Cub. First of all, sorry for leaving like that. And now, congratulations! Finally, my Angel is getting married. I can't believe it. So before you become someone else's, I got something important to share with you. So, what about a date tomorrow evening?

Taehyung was so happy to get a positive reply, he really did not press much as to why the older was upset or what is the important thing that the older was talking about. He was just happy that his Hyungie was no longer upset with him. He texted back an "okay" and happily went to bed while reading the text again and again.

The younger did not know why he was so giddy but as he kept on reading the text, he felt odd reading the "become someone else's" part. He just did not feel the words right. It felt very wrong to him. But the older was right. He was getting married to someone else and that person was then going to be his and vice versa. Then why did that sound so wrong? The brunette yet again shrugged off his feelings and sighed before going to sleep. It was a long day for him, that might be the reason
