“Daehyun, I have to ask you something.”
Taehyung looks at Mrs. Choi curiously.
“You know I have only one son and that's you. Why did you lie to him?”
“I can't tell you that now, eomma. He is happy in his own life now and I don’t want to interrupt now. Just know that he holds my past and I have to hold my present securely from him. Please for now, keep it a secret.”
“Daehyun-ah, I don’t know what you are up to, just don’t suffer more, son.”
Taehyung hugs Mrs. Choi tightly and starts calming down in her embrace.

Jungkook comes out of his room in the morning and sits on the couch in the hall. Suddenly a low whimpering sound comes to his ears and he looks around.
He finds out a crying Junhae, maybe she was playing with a push car on her own and she got stuck between the furniture. She tried to free herself but couldn’t. Jungkook looks at the kid from a distance and can't decide whether to go near her or not.
But the sound of whimpering increases and he can’t control anymore. He slowly approaches Junhae and takes her in his arms. It felt strange, as if a lost part just completed the puzzle. His heart clenches in an unknown cause.
Junhae's whisper goes away after she is free but coming into Jungkook's arms, she realizes the new embrace and starts crying and screaming. She starts squirming a lot that Jungkook's hold loosens and she is about to fall.
Taehyung catches her in arms and pulls her in the chest.
“JUNGKOOK, WHAT ARE YOU DOING? I told you it will take time. Why are you carelessly holding her when you can't?”
Jungkook stands in shock, “I was just helping..”
“I don’t have anything without her. So, please stay away from her.”
Taehyung runs away to her room with Junhae in his arms. Mrs. Choi comes to Jungkook and pats his shoulder, “Don't worry. He is just sensitive with Junhae. Everything will be fine. Okay?”
Jungkook stays still. He can't register what just happened.

“Daehyun, he will be late today. Go to bed.”
“It's okay eomma. He is our guest. We can't leave his food here.”
Mrs. Choi pats his head and pecks on his forehead.
It is almost midnight, Jungkook comes back from the office and gets inside. He freshens up himself and goes to the dining area. Taehyung is sleeping peacefully while resting his head on his arms.
Jungkook slowly sits beside Taehyung and looks at him. His milky skin is shining bright under the dimmed light. His pink plump lips curved up a little while sleeping. Jungkook leans closer and gently caresses his moles with his fingers. Taehyung squirms slowly sensing the touch on his face. Jungkook sits straight in his spot and decides to leave.
He indulged himself in unnecessary work during the whole day and roamed around the sea shore before coming home. He couldn't register the words Taehyung said.
That ‘stay away from her’ resonates just like his previous ‘stay away from me’. Taehyung had always been known to the fact that they were fated but still he chose to push everything behind just to lead his life just the way he wants. What am I to him? He doesn’t even bother to think about me once. He didn’t even ask me about my life when we met. He is not bothered. It was always me and my feelings for him. I should stop now. I should leave everything behind too.
Taehyung gets up from sleep and looks at Jungkook who is almost out of the dining area.
“Did you have your food?”
“No. I am not hungry.”
“I made food for you.”
Jungkook looks at the table from a distance and turns back.
“Good night, Taehyung.”
Taehyung walks fast to Jungkook and holds his wrist, “I am sorry. I shouldn’t say that. I was just in fear, I didn’t mean to do that..”
Jungkook turns towards him and cuts his words, “You never mean to do anything, Taehyung. You just do whatever you want. You never look back at others' lives.”
“What do you mean? I never thought about anyone?”
Jungkook gets closer and asks, “Have you?”
Taehyung looks down towards the ground. Jungkook frees himself from Taehyung and this time, Jungkook drags Taehyung with him. They stop inside Jungkook's room and then Jungkook leaves his hand. He takes out a box and almost throws it towards Taehyung.
“You knew everything from the start. I was just fooled by you. You left me behind knowing everything. How could you? Have you ever thought, how would my life be without you?”
Jungkook almost shouts out all those words and finally sits on the bed. Taehyung slowly takes the box and opens it. His eyes open wide looking at the neck piece he used to wear.
Taehyung cries silently sitting on the floor. He takes his time before uttering any word. Finally it is time. It is the time for everything to come out. Taehyung stays silent for a while and finally decides to speak about everything.
“So, now you know everything?”
Jungkook's silence speaks for him.
“From when did you know?”
“From the day you disappeared.”
Taehyung lets out a sigh, “I was brought up by your parents, Jungkook. I couldn’t even believe that it was true. I stopped wearing the neck piece from the day I finally realized that this is the fact. But think about it Jungkook, we were kids when we first saw each other, you used to hate me for being part of your family, later I grew up with the fact that we are from one family. And suddenly it starts shining indicating my fate with you. How could I do that? I can't even imagine what would happen if your family knew about us.”
“BUT ANY OF THESE DOESN'T CHANGE THE FACT THAT WE ARE FATED!”
Jungkook jumps down from the bed and sits in front of Taehyung, “Can you tell me honestly that you never felt anything between us?”
Taehyung starts sobbing and Jungkook holds his hands, “Isn't it so obvious how infatuated I had been? How come you never know?”
Taehyung cups Jungkook's face and joins their forehead for a minute and cries more.
It felt like a comfort till eternity. The feelings they were searching for months, finally felt as true as it was.
They pull out after a minute and Taehyung takes a deep breath.
“Jungkook, you have a family now. You are with Sarah. These are unnecessary.”
Jungkook pulls Taehyung in a hug. He has been crying silently too, but he decided to give the other comfort first. Taehyung almost climbs on his lap. The warmth he craved for, the love he missed, the person he left- is within his embrace now. Taehyung cries hard and harder.
“I never married anyone. I canceled my wedding on the day you left. Do you really think, after all that, I will marry someone from that family?”
