*Monday*

MR. KIM! ARE KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW? YOU CALL THIS A PROPOSAL?" The calm and silent morning in the office was shattered by Mr. Oh's shouting.
"You're an assistant manager for Luna's sake! How are you more incompetent than a new recruit?! " Mr. Oh exclaimed at Seokjin as he threw the printed papers onto Seokjin's face. "You've lost your touch after going on maternity leave. AM I WRONG?" He continued shouting at him.

Seokjin stood there with his head hanged and finally asked him reluctantly in a small voice, "Mr. Oh, if you could just tell me what I did wrong....."

"I shouldn't have to tell you that! You've been working here for years! Why can't you even write a simple proposal?!" He still shouted at Seokjin.

"I'm sorry, I'll make some edits and bring you a revised version." Seokjin replied as he started collecting the papers which were spread out on the floor.

"EDITS?! IT'S GONNA NEED MORE THAN JUST EDITING! REWRITE THE WHOLE THING FROM THE SCRATCH AND HAVE IT ON MY DESK BY TOMORROW MORNING! YOU HEAR?!" Mr. Oh shouted into his face once again making Taehyung turn towards them with a frown on his face from his cubicle.

That jerk. He only does this when Mr. Jeon  isn't around. Taehyung thought angrily. His focus suddenly snaps towards Seong when he sees him smiling a little secretly. What's up with him? Why is he smiling suddenly? He thought. But he quickly dismisses it when he sees Seokjin walking over towards the break room with the bundle of papers.

Jin hyung's been working overtime for days. I wonder if he's OK.... Taehyung thought sadly and got up to follow him into the break room.

"Hyung." Taehyung calls out as he walks into the break room.

"Oh, Taehyung? I was about to make some coffee, do you want some?" He asks as he turns towards Taehyung and that is when Taehyung notices a tissue in his nose as if to stop a nosebleed.

A nosebleed? It looks like he's really been pushing himself.  Taehyung muses.

"I'll make it this time. You made me a cup of tea the other day. Remember?" Taehyung asks with a big smile on his face, automatically making Seokjin smile too.

"You'll do that for me? Sounds great." Seokjin replied.

As they settled down after making the coffee Taehyung started thinking again.

Will it be OK for me to change someone else's fate.  He thought, as he kept looking at Seokjin who was silently enjoying his coffee. Who cares? Whatever. I've already died and came back from the dead.

Taehyung turned towards Seokjin and started saying,"Hyung. About the proposal...." 

I'm the only one who knows about this rule...

"Don't write it again."

When the past is altered....

"Listen carefully to what I'm about to say..." 

...the future is altered too.

Seokjin looked perplexed when Taehyung told him not to rewrite it.
"...What do you mean? Why are you telling me not to rewrite it?" Seokjin questioned him.

"You don't have to change the contents of the proposal. Just use a different font and move things around a bit and resubmit it. Mr. Oh don't read the proposals anyway " Taehyung said with conviction.

"But I can't just give him the same one again...." Seokjin replied with a troubled look on his face.

"Just trust me." Taehyung reassured Seokjin with a kind smile and continued, "If he throws a fit saying you brought him the same one again, I will rewrite it for you. And say you wrote it of course!" He beams at Seokjin, Taehyung's smile automatically making him relaxed.
