it was midnight, i took a very long nap after that incident and now that im not that sleepy anymore, i got up, the pain was fading away a little by little from what i could feel

i drank a glass of water, and just sat on my bed thinking

thinking about everything and her

i wanted to know what was happening, i wanted to know why someone who looked exactly like me was hanging stuck in a painting that was hidden away

i had so many questions that were waiting to be answered, but who would....

i got up from my bed and walked out to the hall and then to the main area near the stairs, i didnt realize what i was doing, maybe because of all the numbness i started to walk up the stairs and by the time i realized i was already near taehyungs room, my hand held the doorknob, ready to twist it anytime

but i didn't i was just contemplating, but before i could the door opened by itself 

and teahyung looked at me as if he knew i was coming

teahyung: come in....

i just walked into his room that smelled like flowers, he sat by the bench in the big balcony and so did i 

taehyung: i knew you'd come........and i know you have so many questions......

y/n: who is-

teahyung: aeri?....'chuckles softly' well..........dont you think you and her look exactly the same

y/n: i.......i am confused....

taehyung: well you should be.....and you deserve to know the answers......well.......

he sighed before speaking again

taehyung: me and jungkook...since we were young were like water and oil.....the only times we ever "hung out" like normal brothers always ended up in excruciating agony and pain....my mother......she....well this one day when we were just 4 and 5, me and him were playing around near the pond........but my brother....a trouble maker he was since birth...pushed me in water while playing..........he was scared so much that he ran to my mom and not to the gaurds who couldve potentially saved me from drowning, but.....but a brave one my mom was....she immediately rushed into the water to search for my unconscious body in the water 'laughs' but....my mother didnt realise she didnt know how to swim until she was in depths of the water searching for her son, she was so desperate that she forgot that she never knew how to swim and just like that, both me and my mom were admitted to hospital, i came out fine but my mom........her brain cells were damaged....doctors said she couldnt remember a thing........but she did...she remembered my father....and just him.........it pained him to see that she forgot about us.....she slowly started to wither away infront of our eyes so we never pressured her to remember us.....we just starred at her from afar while she slept.......and on the day.....when her body was getting buried.......jungkook didnt let a single tear out..........

taehyung started to tremble a bit

taehyung: my crybaby brother...he never cried after that........and my father...he became a maniac after that.......im sure jungkook must have told you about our tattoo story.........well.....my father is one such person who loved us with his heart....but......he would also scar our hearts while doing so..............until...one day he just annouced that this girl....aeri would be my fiance at my 16th birthday........she was like a swan....maybe why my brother fell for her....and i never did......he hated me for that......he said "you dont deserve her, i could love her better while you dont even show her any affection"........aeri did....love me...and then my father died......i couldnt comprehend things anymore, i started to pull away from everyone .......even her......but then...she aswell slowly started to wither from knowing that i could never love her....because.....it felt wrong.......but.....jungkook.........he loved her with all his heart.......i knew he wished she was his.........and i wanted that too.....she and i came to an understanding after a couple of years that we would rather be best friends than a couple....she said.....

he looked into my eyes again

taehyung: she said "i dont expect love from you, so...if you find a women you love...please do tell me"...i knew she still had feelings for me.....it took me by guilt when she said that....before realizing our marriage went by a blur and before i knew i was holding her in my arms for the soul duty of producing an heir.........then I realized...there were times..i did love her.....maybe it was genuine care...but i call it affection........and still....still...i couldn't give what she wanted....love....she was a kind women for her age, she understood me...never blamed me for anything.......and one day......just like that.....for being married to me...the seated mafia.....she was murdered.........like a beggar on a street....her body that was stabbed and was left in the forest to rot.................... i couldn't even look at her.....but jungkook.....'soft chuckle' he............he held her in his arms, close to his chest and started to weep like never......after almost 20 years...........he cried..........he cried and cried until he fainted...and by the time he got up....she was already buried deep in the ground..............our uncle...aeris father.......he fled somewhere.....no one knows......we tried searching for the culprit but......it was in vain.....everything went down after that.....

i saw tears in taehyungs eyes, i wanted to comfort him

taehyung: ......after that...i couldnt bare the guilt.............i stepped down from the mafia line.....i didnt want to take that responsibility anymore....because...............i am a coward..........jungkook.....he reluctantly took up the seat...........i could see that he still hated me for everything.........for not knowing how to swim and making our mom become the bait....to..not giving aeri love and not protecting her enough...........i also blame myself....i always think...what would've happened if i genuinely loved her.....would i have stuck by her side 24/7 and maybe i would've prevented her death..........again.....im nothing but a coward..............

y/n: young master......

taehyung: but you y/n....after you appeared....the light that was taken away from our mansion returned.....im skeptical to say this...but.........i feel like you are a reborn version of aeri although...you both are from the same timeline.......but im thankful...............to you.............

he said looking at the moon in the night sky

taehyung: jungkook......he does things without knowing that hes hurting others.......hes the type of person who will slit someone's throat with a menacing smile on his face, aeri was the only one who could tame the beast in him back then, but now that he lost her..... he's very ferocious towards everything.........even the world around him......but..this is a cruel kingdom he rules......betrayal....treason........murders.......................

i just starred at him in sadness, it felt like my heart was ripping, he looked at me and smiled

taehyung: you and her.......are similar in alot of ways.................even this expression

he said pointing at me, i realized then that my eyes were tearing up

y/n: what about.......aeris...parents........

taehyung: aeri never had a mom.....only her father...our uncle....my dads older brother.............i don't know the whole story about him but from what I've heard.....he loved a ballet tutor that used to come to our mansion to teach our cousin's ballet...............no body liked the thought of a powerful mafia like my uncle marrying someone like her.....but then.....their marriage was filled with danger........and so........after giving birth to aeri...she fled........no one knew where she went.........our uncle.......he got down from the line because he wanted to take care of his daughter..... making our father take up the seat.............its intresting....that...it runs in our family...we lose our wives in a short term.........me, our father....my uncle.......are cursed.....

y/n: ....................

taehyung laughed, he laughed in comfort

taehyung: dont think much about it y/n.............just.....rest for now.......youll be ok......

i got up and walked out 

taehyung: good night y/n.....

y/n: good night young master...........
