the hinges of the door swings forward and muffled voices of a seemingly never ending talk takes place behind it.


"please go in first mr. kim taehyung-ssi."

"you're weird speaking this way."

"is there something wrong sir?"

"oh god i'm gonna loose it with your formality!" taehyung steps in first in results of his brother subtly gesturing his hands like those chauffeurs one would see in a sixteen-hundred themed movies and he finds himself holding the urges to break in guffaws and give his brother another tight hug, well that was what his brother said in between choking for air.

once they enter the house, it feels easy to breathe for taehyung. in a way after a year of announcing that he's back from his sudden hiatus, this feels lighter.


the press and media were all hyped about the artist's reason. talk shows invited him as if there were hundreds of questions to ask, but really the only question everyone wants to ask is whether or not there's an upcoming gallery to be held by him, the lad in his early 20s is infamous for his unpredictable and abrupt decisions.


for taehyung, he first thought that the one year break was more than enough for him to grasp on something inspiring and unique — it is in a way of his to convince himself and eventually complete the theme he has in mind.


though after one year nothing he finds was enough to fit that certain something, nothing that managed to captivate his attention nor does it interests him.

at one point he finds himself visiting a therapist only to ask if there's something abnormal about his sudden act. while the therapist said that this might be a temporary withdrawal, taehyung came up with an assumption that he might be simply bored and in need of something very different from the bustling life in the city.


"so what are you here for? because i don't recall you telling me that you're coming home." his brother goes over to the kitchen.


"i was going to ask you when will you drop the formalities," taehyung says and a chuckle comes next as he sits on the couch, only to remember that the couch wasn't very comfortable.

taehyung gets back up and walks over to the kitchen instead, "okay. so to be honest, i-"


his brother turns to him and shoves a mug of hot cocoa to the said boy. "you needed a little getaway?"

taehyung's face lightens up into a puppy like visual, "well it could be said something like that." he nods.


"i'm sure you've settled with a theme, right?" his brother's eyebrow turns sharp as his eyes are trailed to the older.

that question from his brother gets taehyung to step back and when he feels the counter in contact with his back, he stops and places his hot cocoa across the island.


taehyung's finger fiddles with the hem of his shirt. "something around that." a not so sincere smile makes it out into existence.


"then tell me, it's okay if you haven't sum it up." that smile, the way his lips curves into a comforting way made taehyung feels less on the edge.


"a whirl of time. the start in ones life and the ways it starts to stop when they meet a certain someone. the fractions of scenes that buries a deep impression. something around that." taehyung lets out that heavy sigh since his brother asked the reason of him being here.


for a second taehyung thought his brother was going on a nonsensical joke but it fits and he accepts the way it's generic by the first few letters but then leaves a twist at the end of it.


"timeless."
