"Choon He!"

Taehyung knocked the door.

"Taetae! What brings you here?" A surprised Rin asks.

"We need to talk."

Saying that, Taehyung left for the garden, downstairs.

Rin followed him behind.

"What's it Taehyung-sshi?" Rin playfully punched his shoulder, wrapping the blanket round her. It was a cold night.

"First, you tell us, you decided to go to Jin Hyung's father's company. Now you accepted the date with that, Nam-Nam Joo-Hyuk something guy. What are you trying to prove?" Taehyung couldn't hide his rage.

"Don't complicate things out, Taetae! I am not proving anything either. I learned architecture to earn a decent job. Kim Seok Jin has nothing to do with any of my decisions. I wanted to work in one of the best companies here. Moreover, I didn't say I would marry Nam Joo-Hyuk. It's just a date." Rin smiled lightly, placing her warm hand in his shoulder.

Taehyung took the hand in his own.

"Seul Rin-ah! Hyung... he... " Taehyung couldn't bring his guts to tell her what all happened during her absence. He couldn't tell her that Jin remembered her.

"Taehyung-ah! He is a closed chapter in my life. I have gone through enough, all these past seven years. I can't hold onto the past anymore. I can never stop loving him. But I can never start it again too. Moreover, I am his bad dream. Not even a reality. Even if I see him, I can face him now. I earned the courage. Don't worry!"

It was then, Taehyung saw the glimpse of sorrow hidden in her eyes. He could see that she hadn't healed. She chose to accept it as it was. He saw the emotions pass her face in a blink, as she replaced it with a painful smile.

She pulled herself into his embrace. Taehyung wrapped his arms tightly around her. Her breath was hot. Her heart carried fast and heavy beats. Her eyes wet his shirt. He never wanted to see those warm tears. He didn't question her.

His own tears fell on her shoulder.

Through the silence, the brother and sister shared their feelings in that warm embrace.

At that moment, Taehyung realised her heart. He saw through the maturity. She was as transparent as it could be.

Jin hyung was never a closed chapter. It was the air she breathed. It was the voice she heard. It was all her reasons to live.

--------------------------------------------------------------

The waiters and other customers nearby him, looked at the man in surprise, as he drowned each cup with a vigour.

He was an usual customer for the past four years. Handsome in every way. Women came here just to look at him. The bar's popularity had sky-rocketed on his arrival.

Moreover, he generously tipped them.

The vodka possibly burned his throat. But as he shot each glass down his esophagus, he snickered.

The waiters had seen his expression a million times. It was a drama they were no more interested in. But still he had a charm, that made them want to know the reason.

It was either his secretary, or a blonde, half Korean woman, that took him home.

He only left, when it was about the closing time.

"Get me The Balvenie!" The man ordered.

The bartender stood shook, hearing the order.

It was one of the most expensive Single Malt Scotch Whiskey.

"Sir! Are you sure?" He asked, doubting him, even though he knew the man was rich.

"I f*****g own the whole company, you idiot! Get me my order! Or else I will sue you!" The words seemed more and more unsuitable for the face. The words were jumbled, as it ran over other, blurry like his unclear vision.

The Bartender bought him his order. But instead of treating him the whole bottle, he poured him a reasonable glass, iced and soured with lemon.

The whole bottle was around 59M Wons! Around 50000 USD!

The glass itself cost a million won.

The man poured the drink down his throat, enjoying the burning sensation.

Yes! I want to die! I want to die! She left me! I made her run away! Now she came back!

His thoughts were wilding around, as he passed off.

The secretary came at the waiter's call, paying them by his card.

The bill shook him.

A million and something!

The man looked at his boss and the paper to and fro.

His phone rang out.

"Yes ma'am! I will take him back home... No... He is just slightly drunk... I will inform him tomorrow morning... Yes Ma'am!"

The secretary was relieved, as he kept his phone away. He didn't deserve scolding like this every single time. Cussing his fate, knowing the woman, he turned to his boss.

He gently took his boss back to the car, telling the driver to take them home.

"She came back! My Seul Rin! She came back!"

The secretary turned around from the passenger seat, to see his boss mutter the words repeatedly.

Kim SeokJin fell asleep, drenching himself into the painful world of dreams, mumbling her name over and over again.
