Taehyungs life was a carefully crafted illusion but when jungkook joined the circus , threads of reality began to unravel revealing a truth that would haunt them forever.
As their gazes locked the shadows surrounding the circus seemed to whisper s...
Kook was the first one to break the silence . " What does this mean ?" He whispered his voice barely above a whisper .
Others were still in disbelief standing there horrified .
Jimin looked at Tae a little terrified " Tae , what ? i mean how ? "
" Tae how can you write something like this .... It looked like someone possessed you " Jin could not understand his own words .
Tae sighed before replying " I don't know hyung . I myself feel so creeped out and scared".
Kook walked over to Tae providing silent support and love .
"Its okay Tae I am here , we all are here. Don't be afraid . We will face this together ."
Tae looked into koo's eyes , his eyes were filled with love and gratitude .
"Okay lovers ! we have a riddle to solve here " Hobi spoke teasingly , already holding the riddle in his hand .
Everyone chuckled , even though in this despair time they felt light thinking no matter what happens they will have each others back at the end of the day .
" Hobi keep the riddle here " Namjoon spoke pointing at the table .
Hobi followed him and kept the paper in the middle of the table , all the others surrounded the table standing in a circle .
"Guys in the first line it says 'The gentle curve ' I think its more than just a shape " Koo suggested .
" Wait ! I think The lunar cycle , The phases of the moon . This could be it " Namjoon said .
" Exactly Moon represents growth , new beginnings . " Jin exclaimed .
Tae's brows furrowed " But what about the Three steps forward , Three steps back ?"
" Everyone I found something " Jimin excitedly spoke . " See on internet it says in the 1990's a popular coding was very famous . Basically in this A = 1 , B= 2 , C=3 like this it goes on till Z ." he forwarded his hands showcasing the website he had opened on internet. "Jimin you are a genius ! Lets decode THE CRESCENT MOON " Tae spoke hurriedly while taking a blank paper and a pen .
" No Tae wait , It also says three steps forward . so if A=1then we need to write it as 5 . and B =2 so we will write it as 6 ." Koo made an observation .
"Cherie , why so brainy " Tae chuckled . Yup he could flirt with his cherie in such a situation as well .
they hurriedly jotted down the numbers
24119 7578236 6789 .
(i wrote random no dont take them seriously )
" What the heck ? They are random numbers " Jin exclaimed .
"No , they are co-ordinates " Jimin who had studied about location and co-ordinates said . "Let me show you "
he moved to the big map on the wall and started to write the numbers and started to measure using a scale . Everyone was looking at him like ' What is he doing ?'

"Here " He spoke . "Look, these co ordinates make an equilateral triangle "
Everyone was amazed . " Shorty I didn't know you were so intelligent " JIn teased .
" Hyung " Jimin whined .
" But what place is this ?" Tae questioned .
" Its an ancient temple here . its completely abandoned and very less people go there . Its one of the many mysteries of this world . My parents told me once about it , its special cause its located exactly at the heart of the South Korea ." Hobi said .
" Guys pack your bags , we need to go on a little trip " Namjoon spoke with a serious face .

Kook is taking his and Tae's clothes out of the cupboard , a visible frown rested on his face , his eyebrows furrowed in distress . As he kept the clothes in the suitcase he couldn't help but worry
' what if they arent able to know the truth ? '
'what if something happens to Tae'?
'what if .........?'
All this was messing up his head .
Suddenly someone back hugged him .
" Baby stop overthinking or you will get wrinkles " Tae tried to lighten the atmosphere even though he felt worried and stressed as well .
" Tae how can you joke at a time like this ? " Kook pouted while scolding .
" Baby , seriously stop worrying hmm . everything will be alright . " He said and kissed koo softly trying to take all his worries away .
Koo moaned softly in the kiss . As they parted Tae's eyes suddenly turned glossy .
" Tae what happened ? Why are you crying ? " Kook spoke hurriedly .
" Cherie I am so grateful that you stayed with me in difficult times , I am sorry i made you worried and sad its all because of me '' Tae cried .
" Shu Shu No , don't blame yourself Tae . Remember If we go down then we go down together . Always and forever . "
Kook spoke sincerely with all honestly .
Tae cried more thinking how lucky he was to have kook .
he snuggled in koo's neck , his safe place . He could show his vulnerable side to koo without having the fear of being judged .
They both lied down on the bed with a small smile , in each others arms .

This chapter was slightly emotional for me . That line - If we go down then we go down together . 🥺😭
It holds a very special place in my heart . Nostalgia hits really hard ... phewwwww.
Anyways in this chapter i wanted to show that love is not always roses , it has its thorns too .
Love always doesnt mean that everything is rosy and beautiful , sometimes love can also be a thorny path but what matters is that Taekook they both have each other .
