Way to Regret

4.

Sorry for the grammatical mistakes.

As Jin came back to his room,,,he stood in front of the mirror, locked in an internal struggle, he began to realize that the situation wasn't as dire as he had imagined. The weight of his emotions, though still heavy, slowly started to lift, allowing him to see things in a different light. The brother he thought had wronged him now stood before him, flawed but genuine, with a deep-seated desire to mend their fractured bond. The air, once thick with tension, gradually cleared, and the silence transformed from awkward to anticipatory. With a newfound sense of hope, he took another step forward, and then another, until he was close enough to see the sincerity in his brother's eyes. It wasn't perfect, but in that moment, it wasn't as bad as he thought it could be.

Namjoon really was trying hard to stay neutral, but his ever fatherly love towards Jungkook was not helping him. Jin was happy though, the thing he had been working on from day one,,,,,the unity of Bangtan!!! But he didn't know that they could actually team up against him,,,

"You are going to be distant from Jungkook until he allows you to be close again,,,,,"

Though Taehyung was silent, Jin knew he meant the same!
He had to keep a distance!!

*************

Two days later,

"Jin hyung is enjoying his life!!"

"So what is your problem?"

" He is enjoying it,,, just after getting rejected by me!!"

"Yes, I know! "

"And now he is with him,,,, his best friend,,,,"

"So what is your problem??"

"What do mean by problem,,,,,,are you changing the teams now???"

"Team!!!!!"

"Though it was one sided,,,it is called cheating!!!!! Why are you not on my side??"

"Ohhh please Jk!!! As per terms I am continuously ignoring Jin hyung along with you,,, what do you want more???"

Taehyung sounded like a bored person, his tone laced with a hint of exasperation, as he listened to his brother recount the same story for what felt like the hundredth time in just two days. The enthusiasm that once sparked in his eyes had dulled, replaced by a glazed-over expression that screamed

"Please,,, give him some reasons,,"

"I've heard this before."

His brother's words blended together in a cacophony of familiarity, each sentence a déjà vu moment that left him struggling to maintain interest.

"And then... and then... and then,"

his brother droned on, while he internally counted down the seconds until the story's inevitable conclusion. He nodded along, murmured occasional acknowledgments, but his mind had long since checked out, wandering to more engaging topics. Would his brother ever tire of retelling this tale?

"I am glad that I rejected him!!! I am not gonna trust him,,,,ever again,,,"

Taehyung became fed up, his patience wearing thin like the threads of an over-worn fabric. Finally, he spoke, his words bursting forth like a dam breaking under pressure. His expression conveyed his frustration, tired of the circular conversation that seemed to go nowhere. The air was charged with tension as he interrupted the stagnant discussion, his brother's eyes locking onto his in surprise. The room fell silent, heavy with anticipation, as the conversation teetered on the brink of a breakthrough – or a breakdown. His brother's defensive posture hinted at a deeper issue, one that needed to be addressed. With the stalemate broken, the dynamics shifted, paving the way for a potentially transformative moment.

"Are you in love with him,,,?? For the very two days I have been hearing the same and same,,,,,"

"Whoa!!! Why are you shouting ,,huh? Are you that interested in continuing your relationship with,,,, your Jin hyung,,,,"

"Shut up Jungkook!!! Don't sound like a filthy man,,,I am in love with Jimin and that's why I know that love can't be done by force!!!!!

And that's why I have supported you all along,,,,, I am angry with hyung,,,and I am not gonna,,,,"

"Yes!!!! He is a manupulater!! He has,,,"

"Jk!! I don't want to say anything but,,,, I am definitely thinking of something else,,,,"

"Haaa,, what is,,,,"

"I think you,,, like Jin hyung,,,,,too,,"

Jungkook screamed, his face contorting in embarrassment as the weight of the moment crushed him. The sound echoed through the room, a primal release of mortification and frustration. His cheeks burned with a fierce intensity, as if scorched by the heat of a thousand stares. He buried his face in his hands, wishing to disappear, to erase the spectacle he'd just made. The silence that followed was oppressive, punctuated only by the faint whisper of awkward laughter and muffled snickers. His brother's concerned expression only made things worse, a reminder that this moment would be etched in memory forever.

"Tae hyung,,, just say that one more time and I will not hesitate to,,,,kill you,,,,"

His ego smarted, bruised by the unexpected turn of events. A faint sting of wounded pride lingered, though he struggled to shake it off. His usual confidence, once a sturdy shield, now felt dented and vulnerable. He swallowed hard, the taste of embarrassment still bitter on his palate. For a moment, he wrestled with the urge to retreat, to salvage what remained of his dignity. But as he glanced at his brother, he saw genuine concern etched on his face, and the hurt began to recede, replaced by a glimmer of understanding.

"Wanna make a good,,,,,bet?"
