Taehyung got up from his bed with a groan. He can't sleep as this is a new place for him. It's almost 12, so he decided to have a walk around.

Taehyung was about to pass the balcony if not he saw a shadow sitting on a chair. His eyes widen in horror.

What if?

No, not at all. Come on Taehyung it's the 21th century and you still believe in ghosts?

Haha, no way in hell. But to confirm it, he slowly walked towards the shadow, he gulped hard and tried not to panic.

Taehyung took his cautious steps but the shadow suddenly turned towards him.

"Aaaah, in the name of God-", Taehyung abruptly stopped shouting when he took a clear view of the person.

"Taehyung", Jungkook's father looked at him with a questioning gaze.

Peww.

With an awkward smile, he scratched his neck.

"Sorry sir, I-I thought...n-never mind, I'm sorry", Taehyung stuttered.

Jungkook's father smiled a little and patted the chair beside him, motioning Taehyung to take a seat. And Taehyung obeyed.

"Aren't you asleep?", he questioned.

"No, sir, I can't sleep, as it is a new place for me it's kinda difficult", Taehyung said looking at the moon that shines on them.

Jungkook's father hummed in response.

"About you sir, it's almost 12 aren't you sleeping?", Taehyung questioned back.

"I can't sleep, son.", he said. His voice carried an untold heaviness and sorrows. Taehyung can't say anything in return so he stayed silent.

"Myeong (Jungkook's mom) said that you and he work in the same office", Jungkook's father said.

"Yes sir", Taehyung smiled a little.

"How is Jungkook at the office?", Jungkook's father asked.

"He's great at work, he'll always be punctual, such a perfectionist", Taehyung said his lips unknowingly forming an admiring smile.

"Jungkook used to be so creative at his younger age. I'm glad that he's doing great in whatever field he chooses", Jungkook's father said. Taehyung nodded and looked at his feet. His brows frowned.

Taehyung once again looked at the elder. His heart wanted him to ask the question that lingered in his head but something in him stops him from asking. He sighed and again turned his gaze away from the elder. Jungkook's father noted his hesitation.

"I can see that you wanted to say something, what's it son", he asked startling Taehyung.

"If you don't mind me...", Taehyung dragged his words unsure about the other's mood.

Jungkook's father chuckled.

"Go ahead", he allowed.

"Well, sir, why can't you talk to Jungkook", Taehyung asked. Jungkook's father snapped his head towards him. Taehyung passed a sad smile.

"How do you-".

"Jungkook said everything, sir, everything", Taehyung passed to sigh out his thrashing heartbeat to just yell at the man beside him for hurting his precious. But he remained calm. No matter what, the man is Jungkook's father.
