Present

' Everything about me changed..the way my body worked...the way my mind worked...all changed except the pain in me'

Jungkook bit his lips...he can't cry now...not when his Taehyung had been suffering all this while without anyone to lean on...he has to be strong..for his Taehyungie hyung he has to be strong....atleast now
His ignorance and rage led to Taehyung living in pain for years..he can't be the reason for Taehyung's pain anymore

' I couldn't eat...drink..' Taehyung continued ' My body was so accustomed to me surviving without food and water... plus the newly grown powers....I used to throw up with the first bite... Song shi and Sungkyung noona really did had a hard time handling me. I did ask her about Hobi hyung...but she had no idea who even he was...wherever he was I hope he wasn't in too much pain...A week after our talk...Noona took me with her to her kingdom... The kingdom where only warlocks and witches lived... They helped me control my mind....my physiological changes...I started eating and drinking again...but certain food triggered my system...it still does-'

' Sweets?' Jungkook suddenly asked remembering their days back at the farm house where Taehyung fainted after having too much of strawberry syrup

' Sweets' Taehyung smiled nodding

' Song shi took it up on himself to restore the castle... and our NightCourt...he tried everything he could so that the place would be more than sufficient for me to live once I return... He even shifted the whole royal library after learning of my love to read...and this...'He extended his arms ' Is the result of his hardwork'

' I waited... just as noona told I waited for you..for hyungs' Taehyung sounded way too distant..' For... about ten years I remained back in Astraxus....coping up with my loss...and feeling a bit too proud remembering how my husband had wiped off a whole kingdom just because he thought his love was dead' Taehyung chuckled but didn't bother wiping the stray tear that rested against his cheeks

' Then I started exploring...I left to see the world...' Taehyung shrugged ' Staying at a place for more than 30 years would be suspicious seeing how I didn't age a second more than that cursed day. Waiting for someone you were sure would come back is painful..but waiting for someone you don't know when will be back is mortifying....But I waited...for whole two centuries...I saw kingdoms change...wars being waged..countries develop...monarchy fall...'

' You know Koo' Taehyung took Jungkook's hand in his own 'You were right...in every life.. for every Jungkook..there is a Taehyung.... I saw you...or should I say different versions of you...twice...once as a king and second as a business man...but I knew that those two weren't my Jungkook...my Koo who loved me more than his life...And for all these two Jungkook..there were Taehyung too...whom they adored with their everything... Atleast that gave me a hope that there will come a time when my Koo will be back again..when I'll get to hold him again...when I'll get to feel his heartbeats again...and when I saw you for the first time..in front of Hobi Hyung's company I kne-knew that it was you'

' You saw me?' Jungkook looked flabbergasted

' I did' Taehyung nodded... ' I..you know how I met Jimin right. We opened the cafe at a random location suggested by Jiminie...I always stayed in the kitchen baking..but then he one day

Past

' I won't'

' Oh come on Tae..am not asking you to go talk to someone!' Jimin said annoyed

' You know how much I hate meeting people' Taehyung hissed

' I know of course' Jimin almost rolled his eyes ' Look customers are piling up and am running late with the coffee delivery... either you handle the customers or deliver'
