"Don't spend your time on naver today", Taehyung's wife,no! Ex wife told him as they both signed their divorce agreement.The court had granted their wish without calling for a million council sessions since it was mutual and agreed peacefully between them.Taehyung gave her one last hug and she gave him a kiss on his cheeks before withdrewing and repeated,"eat and straight to bed.The netizens are gonna be brutal,I don't want to see you online"

Taehyung only nodded before watching her leave and offered his attorney a word of thanks before getting into his car and heading home.

He was going to do exactly what his ex wife had mentioned,eat something and sleep it off.The messages in his phone can wait one more day,for now he needed some peace and alone time with his thoughts.

To reminisce the end of an era.

He opened his refridgerator to find nothing but stacks of tupperwares that contained his mother's kimchi.Maybe if he had a pack of ramen,he could do with it.Looking through the cabins made Taehyung realize that he should have just resorted to ordering something in.But it was too late now anyways,he could take care of his appetite needs tomorrow morning.He pulled up a blanket onto the couch and played some random show before snuggling into the cushions.His mind wandered and wandered and was exhaustingly disturbed when the intercom went alive with three year old Jiyan's voice,"yeongie samchoon!!"

Bangs fell onto the heavy door and another,"yeongiee...yeongiee samchoon!! open,jiyanie has come!!"

Taehyung's tired eyes brightened up immediately and his smile deepened as he shot up from the couch.Jimin's voice came following, reprimanding his son,"Jiyan ah ,wait patiently-"

"yeongie samchoon! Appa is scolding me..open..save jianie"
The door swung open and Jiyan immediately jumped into Taehyung's arms almost knocking the elder one.He rotated the boy once in air before holding him close as Jiyan giggled.Jimin huffed out an annoyance before bringing the huge bundle of food in.

"yeongiee ~..appa is mean"
"Yeah,anyone who doesn't go with your brat mood is mean!! Taehyung,did you eat?", Jimin directed,casually at Taehyung who shrugged.Jimin bit his lips and huffed once again,"Why am I stuck baby sitting you two!!"

"Ooooh, the king of k-pop is not in the mood", Taehyung found humour and Jiyan laughed at the way his father's eyes narrowed at them.He giggled as Jimin swung a hand over Taehyung's arms and dragged himself to the kitchen leaving the two to mock him.

Jiyan and his yeongie were on their fifth time playing baby shark when Jimin brought jjajangmyeon for Taehyung and cookies and milk for his son.The apartment was loud late into the night as Taehyung played with Jiyan , entertaining every crazy idea he would bring up that made Jimin sigh for the umpteenth time.He was getting older faster.

"It is way past your bed time,Jiyan ah",He spoke over the leggos crumbling at the tea table.
"jiyanie is not tired"
"Keep saying that and I'll take you home right now!"
"then I am going to sleep with yeongie samchoon",Jiyan immediately switched his strategy.After another hour of chaotic chasing around the apartment,Jimin finally put his little demon into bed and made sure Taehyung was allowed to sing him to sleep.Both of them kissed him goodnight on his demand.

Taehyung came out to find Jimin sitting in the balcony.One glass of wine in his hand and another on the rails,waiting for his bestfriend.The younger hooked his head from behind over the other's shoulders and hummed,"Wine? Are you celebrating my heartbreaks?"
Jimin looked offended, his lips turning into a pout,"I wanted to wish you for a new step forward,Tae..urgh! Maybe wine was too much -"
Taehyung held Jimin in place before bringing his own glass to his lips and sipping.He sighed in content and Jimin turned at him,"I am sorry, Taehyungie.I know you wanted to spend some time alone after ..after everything that happened today but Jiyan wouldn't allow.He wanted to see you and was being so adamant..I am really sorry.You were on the TV and he started crying wanting to see you..I'm really sorry"

"Jiminie, stop-"
"No..I don't know how to..He wouldn't ever listen to me.Am I a bad father? Since Euyong's demise,I had promised I'll try to be there for Jiyan but life is so busy.Sometimes I feel like I should give up on music and spend the rest of my time with him"
"You're overthinking"
"No,Tae-"

"Look,you are doing just fine.You are a wonderful father.Jiyan loves you and he is only three years old but still knows how hard it is for you.Also he knows that you love him a lot..We have our little secrets,you know and he tells me his appa is sweet", Taehyung nudged the elder who gave him a teary smile.They shared a moment before Jimin turned to the view of city before them,"Are you okay, by the way?"

The younger shrugged,"Yeah..I know it feels wrong to say it but,I feel liberated"
"Liberated?! Ah ling wasn't controlling"
True, Taehyung's wife was the sweetest out of all seven spouses.She was always in sync with Taehyung's life and Jimin didn't even understand why they'd go for a divorce for he saw no cracks in their life like he used to see in his own marriage.If his wife was still alive,down the road they would have parted ways too.Maybe not as amiable as Taehyung and his ex wife did.Taehyung put down the glass and turned at Jimin,"Yes,Liberated cause I was tired of playing the straight guy.Was tired of being whom I am not for the sake of making everyone around except me feel good"

Jimin's mouth fell open in realization.They have talked about it back when they were nineteen,right after Taehyung had kissed Jimin just to know how it feels and Taehyung had told him that maybe he likes to kiss boys.
"Kissing boys..",Jimin trailed off from the memory and Taehyung shook his head vigorously,"No..not really",he gulped,"Kissing you,I mean"
"Taehyung,what are you-"
"I was in love..not 'was'..I am..Ah ling knows,she always did..I don't know..I..I thought I..", Taehyung was stuttering,a sign that his mind was running haywire and Jimin immediately brought the younger's hands in between his own,"I am here..Take your time and tell me"

Taehyung's hands were shaking lightly and he took a deep breath,"I thought I hid it well..I only told Joonie hyung and he didn't know how to help..The society will ruin us so I held back..I thought I never showed it but then Ah ling knew..She always knew,she still married me cause I wanted that image.. Successful idol,happily married,perfect life and family..until I couldn't put up that act anymore..I am tired..I told her I wanted divorce and she said yes.that's it... that's it", Taehyung was crying now but he choked through words,"I still love you..I wish I could be part of your family,not just as friends..I wish Jiyan could call me appa too..a family like that"

Jimin pulled the younger closer.He stroked his hair as Taehyung's tears wet his shirt.
"Taehyungah..how long have you kept this inside you...we are 36 now",Jimin sniffled a sob himself as he pulled their bodies closer into a proper embrace.
"We are 36 now", Taehyung repeated before more tears clouded his vision.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier ...If you'd have said a word ,I'd have realised it sooner",Jimin punched Taehyung lightly on his shoulder when they withdrew.Taehyung rubbed his hand,teary eyes looking down at the shorter as he continued,"I didn't know until there was a girl standing by you,Didn't know until she was saying yes and kissing you... Didn't know I fcking loved you until your wedding day but Euyong and I were 3 months pregnant by then and ...and I could not have done anything to stop the wedding..You idiot...you are such an idiot",Jimin punched some more as he cried,his eyes disappearing, eyebrows furrowing.Taehyung pulled him into a hug as Jimin mumbled,"Stupid Taehyung...you ruined us"

"I did", Taehyung said back.
God knows how long they stood there,embracing and accepting that they finally have a chance.Finally they had a chance at making wrong things right and then they drew back.

Taehyung tilted his head down and Jimin closed his eyes as soft lips pressed against his plump ones,ever so lightly,like as if Jimin's lips were fragile and Taehyung was scared to hurt.He pressed their foreheads together.

"Aaagh!!! Appa ,what did you do to yeongie samchoon!!",Jiyan was screaming from the door and Jimin couldn't help but laugh,falling over his future husband's chest.
"Appa bit yeongie samchoon..samchoon ,I'll protect you from appa",The boy threw his fluffy mang doll at Jimin and the elders kept on laughing.

The world was better now,it could accept two men loving each other and even if it isn't,it was still okay.There was nothing to prove to anyone anyways as long as they had each other.Oh and Jiyan could call Taehyung 'Yeongie appa' instead.
