Taehyung feels his heart palpitating, the cold sweat running down his skin keeps his in his senses.
He did it again.
Brought bad luck. He hurt someone.
He keeps those shivering but nasty hands in pocket trying to open the door for the stairs.

Taehyung feels his heart palpitating, the cold sweat running down his skin keeps his in his senses.
He did it again.
Brought bad luck. He hurt someone.
He keeps those shivering but nasty hands in pocket trying to open the door for the stairs.
He bangs on the door. Begs behind it to open it.
It's been like that since he was just five. Locked away from humanity, or else he'd hurt each one of them. Like he did to his mother, his own province in Daegu or maybe his own husband.

He bangs on the door again.
"Jeez"
Taehyung hears from the other side of the door when he stops knocking. He keeps his hands back in the pocket instantly, knowing someone is near him.
"You two best friends can't keep it low", The light directly falls on Taehyung's eyes as the door opens.

Taehyung looks at the man, known to be Yoongi. But his eyes search for answers on that man's impassive features.
"Come with me", Yoongi says, going down the stairs.
Every next step Taehyung takes, his heart pains, he wants to know if Jungkook is alright, if he did it again.

His fingers run against each other, irking in those velvet gloves. The mansion is way more huge than that floor.
Yoongi stops walking, right in front of another room. Taehyung stops too, maintaining a distance between any human he sees.
The elder finally turns around and speaks

The elder finally turns around and speaks
"Keep your hands in your pockets", Yoongi leads the way inside.
Taehyung takes a moment to get himself ready. He forces his tears not to roll down his cheeks, just like those cursed hands inside his pockets.
Taehyung closes his eyes as he steps in the main hall of the mansion.

The prince's eyes first meet Jimin, he looks pressured.
There are men he never saw in his life, maybe they were there at the wedding.
He lets out a gasp when he sees Namjoon hyung sitting on the couch, looking completely relaxed like usual.

And then those tears roll down, Taehyung feels his body releasing all the stress. His knees shudder when he finds Jungkook.
Jeon Jungkook in all his glory, standing in the middle looking perfectly alright.
There's a scar bleeding on his left cheek.

"Tae-", Jimin leaps forward, his own lips quivering but Yoongi is right behind him, holding him through his arms.
He glares at the elder but Yoongi's face remains intact in the front.
Jimin follows Yoongi's eyes,
There's Jungkook standing right in front of Taehyung.

"Taehyung-ssi", Jungkook calls out, as softly as possible.
But Taehyung's eyes remain closed, his hands inside his pockets, lower lip between his teeth.
He sobs silently.
"Prince?", Jungkook tries again.
Taehyung keeps his head down, as he whispers, "I am sorry"

Taehyung keeps his head down, as he whispers, "I am sorry"
"Hey?", Jungkook takes a step closer to prince while Taehyung instinctively takes one back,
"Look at me. I am fine", In an attempt to calm him down Jungkook keeps closing the distance while Taehyung walks back.
Until his back hits the wall.

Until his back hits the wall.
"He might have gotten used to being away from people" Jimin whispers to himself, when he sees Taehyung's eyes shut open with terror as if he touched a human,
"But he will never get used to hurting someone"
Yoongi turns to look at Jimin at that. He releases his hold on him.

//tw accident
When Taehyung's eyes fling open, he only sees the wounded scar on Jungkook's face that is too close than normal.
'Look at me. I'm fine', Jungkook's words echo in his mind. The younger looks fine, not like he was involved in any car accident.

Jungkook smiles when he sees Taehyung's breathing getting lighter. He holds up his hand, fingers opened wide.
Taehyung stares at his hand, keeping his own velvet covered ones in the pocket.
Confusion bubbles in his eyes when Jungkook only holds up the index finger.

He brings the finger near his cheek, just above the scar. He slides the index finger through the scar, the grin never leaving his face.
Jungkook brings his hand down and Taehyung's eyes pop out when he finds Jungkook's scar completely vanished.
As if it was never there.

Taehyung stands straight, not taking the wall's support. His hands nettle him to touch the skin where the wound was,
"What does that mean", Taehyung whispers.
But Jungkook only smirks,
"Come", he turns around moving towards all the others,
"Have a seat"

Jungkook has his legs crossed, as he sits powerfully in the front. There's Yoongi sitting on his side, his eyes never leaving Taehyung.
There's Namjoon and two more people fitted on a smaller couch on the left.
And then there's Jimin, closest to him.

And then there's Jimin, closest to him.
Jimin shares the same couch as him, closest to him emotionally and physically. Yet far from his reach.
Taehyung sits directly in front of Jungkook, his velvet covered hands placed neatly on his knees.
Taehyung knows Jungkook's observing eyes are on him, scrutinizing him.

Taehyung knows Jungkook's observing eyes are on him, scrutinizing him.
But he focuses on the glowing skin of Jungkook's left cheek. Taehyung gulps.
He finds Jimin giving him an assuring nod, telling him it's no mirage but a reality.
"You are not the only one",
Taehyung turns to look at Jungkook.

Taehyung turns to look at Jungkook.
Jungkook licks his lips before continuing, "Can I see your hands?" , His smile looks hesitant, but there's a want in Jungkook's eyes.
Taehyung blinks at that. He looks around the hall, pointing out any sign of discomfort but finds none. Not even from Yoongi.
"Are you sure?"

"Are you sure?"
Jungkook nods. Eagerly.
Taehyung nods to himself as he looks down at his hands. It's the first time someone asked him to show those cursed fingers without any disgust on their faces.
Taehyung looks at Namjoon who in return mumbles "it's okay".
He removes them one by one.

The blue velvet uncovers the golden skin slowly, the fingers then slip out seconds later, they long, slender fingers shiver a little.
Taehyung stares down at them. They look clean from the outside. But those finger tips possess the power of undermined hell. Dirty. He thinks.

The prince looks above and notices how Jungkook contemplates at his hands, and second later, a sigh leaves his mouth.
From Jungkook's perspective, he only sees long and slender fingers, veiny arms and dusted honey skin. They shine with the sweat.
"Prince",Jungkook softly calls.

"It's true. What you saw", Jungkook manspreads now, a warm smile never leaving his face.
"The scar", he points at his cheek, "It's gone"
"I hope it's not weird when I tell you", Jungkook brings his hand forward,
"My touch heals"
He looks at his own broad hand.

"My touch heals",
"But i can only heal myself"
Jungkook waits for the prince to react. Understand what lies after this. But Taehyung remains motionless, his face wavers to nothing.
"We are not alike", Taehyung whispers.
And Yoongi shuts his eyes at that.

And Yoongi shuts his eyes at that.
"I know you wouldn't believe me", Jungkook rests on the couch, as if he knew everything.
"That's why I brought Namjoon hyung with me"
Taehyung turns to look at his Joonie hyung sandwiched between two other unknown people.
"Tae"
"Is this another experiment of yours?"

Taehyung turns to look at his Joonie hyung sandwiched between two other unknown people.

"Tae, listen to me at least" Namjoon remains calm like he has always been.
They met when Taehyung was twenty and Namjoon, the great philosopher and scientist at twenty three.
"I don't want to hurt anyone", Taehyung reasons his worries.
And there's pity in Namjoon's eyes.

And there's pity in Namjoon's eyes.
Taehyung hates it. When someone looks at him as if he is against humanity.
"I promise nobody would get hurt", Namjoon shifts closer,
"I promise he will be alright"
Taehyung looks at Jungkook who unlike Namjoon still has some sort of want in his eyes.

Taehyung looks at Jungkook who unlike Namjoon still has some sort of want in his eyes.
"I don't know if this is a condition, a myth", Namjoon breaks, "a curse"
"But When Jungkook reached out to me, I couldn't help but notice the similarities in his story and yours... Like a card but with two faces"
Namjoon has always been passionate about Taehyung and his life.

Namjoon has always been passionate about Taehyung and his life.
He learned every bit of his life by heart
"Will you give it one last chance, Tae?"
"Will you trust me, once again?", The researcher but also a friend to Taehyung pleads.
The prince's lips quiver, "it has never done any good"

The prince's lips quiver, "it has never done any good"
"Maybe, trust me this time?" There's a hand in front of Taehyung and Jungkook's smile looks inviting.
Those experiments are a bad memory. He had touched non living things, plants, animals.
It didn't bring him any good. But pain.
Those experiments are a bad memory. He had touched non living things, plants, animals.
It didn't bring him any good. But pain.
And in his childhood he saw enough of what his finger tips could do to humans.
Make them bleed. Burn their skin, bruise the muscles, break their bones.
All in a few moments of coming in contact with Taehyung's hands.
But trusting Jungkook? Who looks so inviting?

Taehyung bites his lower lips,
"Will you heal yourself?" He confirms.
And Jungkook nods in affirmation, whispering "i will"
Taehyung only brings his index finger forward. He notices how Namjoon watches them like a hawk, with so much passion,
How Jimin's breathing is heavy,

They meet in the middle.
Taehyung hesitantly touches but only touches his index finger tip with Jungkook's broad hand.

Taehyung hesitantly touches but only touches his index finger tip with Jungkook's broad hand.
He reverts back for a second, bile rising in his gut, when Jungkook only catches his index finger, never letting it go.
He keeps his hand wrapped around that one finger, their eyes meeting in between.
Taehyung looks terrorized but Jungkook waits. Waits for something to happen.

Taehyung looks terrorized but Jungkook waits. Waits for something to happen.
"Knew it", Namjoon stands up from the couch, he lets out a shaky breath.
"It cancels out"
"Fuck this was so simple", Namjoon closes his eyes for a second,
"Do you feel any pain, Jungkook-ah?"
Jungkook shakes his head. It means no. He doesn't feel any pain.
"Any burn?"
"It cancels out"

Jungkook looks at Taehyung,
"Nothing", he tells namjoon softly.
"Oh my god", Namjoon moves around the hall, "finally", he sits on the couch again.
Jungkook grins at Yoongi, before leaving Taehyung's hand. He lets out a breath, trying to calm down his heart.

While Taehyung only stares at his finger. It is shivering a little. Jungkook's skin was cold against his finger.
He touches the pad of his index finger with his thumb. Were they really dirty? Taehyung questions himself.

Taehyung finds Jimin's eyes twinkling with tears but still his best friend gestures to him to smile.

"Okay", Jungkook says, playing with his lower lip
"How will you spend time together? When you have locked him all alone", Jimin tolls up, his voice salty.
"I'll shift on his floor, then" Jungkook offers.

Taehyung nods to them courteously. It's funny how he didn't know they all were living in the same house since last week.
"And that's Yoongi", Jungkook's eyes glow when he still sees Yoongi making faces to Jimin,
"He takes time to get warmer to new people"
"And that's Yoongi", Jungkook's eyes glow when he still sees Yoongi making faces to Jimin,

"Just like my cat back in Daegu", Jimin comments, scoffing too hard.
"You-", Before Yoongi could say something, he hears Taehyung,
"Thank you", there's a genuine smile on the prince's face before he starts putting his gloves back on and then going out of the hall.

Jungkook takes notice of the diamond ring on Taehyung's ring finger before it disappears back inside the gloves.
It looks beautiful on those slender fingers.
"Nobody should lock him", Jungkook whispers and Yoongi nods to him.
"He deserves to be seen", Jungkook thinks.

It's been ten days since Namjoon had asked them to hold their hands every day.
And they just do that.
Before going to the office and after coming back from the office, Jungkook reminds him of their daily exercise while Namjoon observes them.
Taehyung checks the monitor.

Taehyung chants in his mind,
"we are just holding hands"
Holding hands. It isn't weird. But for him, someone who was prohibited from any physical touch with living beings for the last twenty two years; it is a big deal.
He is just not used to it. To someone's touch, Jungkook's touch is foreign to him.

"Okay guys, I think it's enough for today", Namjoon packs his machines, leaving the two alone.
Taehyung has already loosened his grip but Jungkook still holds his hand firmly.

"Do you mind taking a walk with me?"

And he just came back from the office.
"Are you not tired?", Taehyung questions
And he just came back from the office.

Jungkook blinks at the question. Even though, they are holding hands, they are complete strangers. And somehow married.
Jungkook shakes his head gently, taking a better hold on Taehyung's long, slender hand.
"Let's go?",
The prince takes a grip on Jungkook's hand as well.

They find themselves on the terrace, wind whistling through the terrace garden and just the Seoul skyline as far as you can see.
Taehyung notices how Jungkook rubs tiny circles along his wrist. Even though, his touch feel foreign, it's getting warmer. A little cosy.

But the younger giggles.

Taehyung doesn't turn around when he hears the door open. He doesn't move to look when the footsteps get closer.
And he doesn't stand up from where he was sitting by the window, when the person takes a seat right next to him.

Taehyung doesn't turn around when he hears the door open. He doesn't move to look when the footsteps get closer.
And he doesn't stand up from where he was sitting by the window, when the person takes a seat right next to him.
Because who else would even dare to sit next to the cursed prince, after all.
For the past ten days, there have been emotions building inside Taehyung. Nothing's changed in his monotonous life but yet he feels so different.
There's Jungkook's side pressing next to Taehyung's.
For the past ten days, there have been emotions building inside Taehyung. Nothing's changed in his monotonous life but yet he feels so different.
There's Jungkook's side pressing next to Taehyung's.
He flinches to the warmth radiating next to him. He feels his own skin glow under the dim moonlight when Jungkook shifts a little to get comfortable.
But he doesn't dare to turn and look at Jungkook. So-so daring Jungkook. Because if he does, he'll let all those emotions out.

The younger feels Taehyung pulling away from the mere side press.
Jungkook gulps. He lets Taehyung retract himself from any touch.
He too, looks at the sky with Taehyung, noticing the tiny stars around the crescent moon.

They look close together from here. The stars and the moon. Yet in reality, in the universe, they are too far away from each other.
This is what the younger is scared of. Taehyung pulling away. Hiding in his shell like always.
This is what the younger is scared of. Taehyung pulling away. Hiding in his shell like always.
A cold shiver runs down his spine. Jungkook realises touching Taehyung keeps him warm too.
Jungkook relates to the stars, now they just look like tiny broken pieces of something, fragments that would join together and accompany the moon.
Forever. In each other's reach.

"I was five when I got a few hints", the future CEO speaks, his voice soft and only audible to him, to Taehyung and the moon.

"The pain faded away"

"But it all made sense when I turned ten..."
Taehyung's mother died when he was ten. And they said, the prince was the reason for the queen's death.
Taehyung chews his inner lips.

"It all burned down. The office", Jungkook feels his leg shiver when the moment replays in his mind.
"Mom and dad were there. I was there"
He breaks for a moment, when he realises he accidentally bumped his leg into Taehyung, and the elder didn't pull back.
"It all burned down. The office", Jungkook feels his leg shiver when the moment replays in his mind.
"Mom and dad were there. I was there"
He breaks for a moment, when he realises he accidentally bumped his leg into Taehyung, and the elder didn't pull back.
"You know", Jungkook sighs, noticing Taehyung still stares at the moon, his curls covering his forehead, but still showing clear glint in the almond eyes,
"Only I made it out alive"
"Grandpa didn't believe me. He saw how my clothes were ragged but I was still so.. fine"
"Only I made it out alive"
"Grandpa didn't believe me. He saw how my clothes were ragged but I was still so.. fine"
"I was different. I knew it since then"
Taehyung turns to look at Jungkook. His eyes are looking for answers of sorts, but Jungkook continues-
"I thought I was a muscle bunny. Strong and bold. Had magic. Could heal any pain and hardships"
Jungkook too, looks at Taehyung now.

Jungkook too, looks at Taehyung now.
"But the whole office burned down. And I couldn't save any of them", Jungkook whispers the last part, but there's a smile on his face.
"What do you think, Tae? Are we cursed or... just different"
Taehyung has no answer to it.
He observes Jungkook.
"What do you think, Tae? Are we cursed or... just different"
Taehyung has no answer to it.
He observes Jungkook.
The dim moonlight, covers half of his face. His lips are plush pink, his nose is round. His eyes are soft but have sharp corners.
There are moles scattered around. One on his lips, one just under, another on nose.
They look pretty, somewhat similar to the stars in tonight's sky.

"My grandpa was furious after losing his only son when the business was doing so well",
Jungkook notices Taehyung was lost staring at him, so he took the opportunity to press themselves together a little more.
He feels giddy, a little bit relaxed under the touch.

He feels giddy, a little bit relaxed under the touch.
"So he got the next best thing in the business", Jungkook sees his reflection in the window pane, making him smirk, "me", he speaks in a slush.
"Why did you marry me, Jungkook-ah?"
The question catches Jungkook on the line. He sees Taehyung's reflection next to him.
"Why did you marry me, Jungkook-ah?"
The question catches Jungkook on the line. He sees Taehyung's reflection next to him.
Jungkook's lips quiver, before he turns to face Taehyung. He gulps lightly,
"Because I think we are similar"
Taehyung notices again how the moon only covers half of Jungkook's face. Like this is half-truth.
"Is that all?", Taehyung questions, he too, feeling breathy.
"Because I think we are similar"
Taehyung notices again how the moon only covers half of Jungkook's face. Like this is half-truth.
"Is that all?", Taehyung questions, he too, feeling breathy.
Or maybe Jungkook is just wearing a mask under those scarlet moles, behind that shy smile,
"Can I be honest?" The younger gives complete attention to Taehyung.
He needs him to be honest. Because what's in it for Jungkook.
"I want you to use me to love yourself", he claims.
"Can I be honest?" The younger gives complete attention to Taehyung.
He needs him to be honest. Because what's in it for Jungkook.
"I want you to use me to love yourself", he claims.
Taehyung tilts his head, his hands tremble a little, as if someone hit a spot;
"What do you mean?", Taehyung feels his senses getting sharpened.
But there's Jungkook. Again. Gently holding his trembling hands in his hold.
"I feel useless, Taehyung-ssi", Jungkook answers.
"What do you mean?", Taehyung feels his senses getting sharpened.
But there's Jungkook. Again. Gently holding his trembling hands in his hold.
"I feel useless, Taehyung-ssi", Jungkook answers.
"This", he looks at their joined hands,
"Yoongi hyung thinks it's a power. To save myself anytime I want...",
He rubs those damned circles around Taehyung's wrist,
"I don't-", he sighs, "If this is a power,it has to be connected to you...", Jungkook claims.
"Yoongi hyung thinks it's a power. To save myself anytime I want...",
He rubs those damned circles around Taehyung's wrist,
"I don't-", he sighs, "If this is a power,it has to be connected to you...", Jungkook claims.
Taehyung doesn't want to comply. He doesn't think they are similar. And in fact, he still feels Jungkook is hiding something behind those soft eyes.
Pain. There's anguish somewhere.
But it melts. Taehyung's thought melts when Jungkook brings their collapsed hand near his face.
Pain. There's anguish somewhere.
But it melts. Taehyung's thought melts when Jungkook brings their collapsed hand near his face.
He kisses his hand. A gentle press of those plush-pink lips on his hands.
Taehyung feels his nerves buzzing inside his body.
He doesn't think they are similar. But he feels. He feels too much, and he knows they are connected. They share something, a bond, a past life or a curse.
Taehyung feels his nerves buzzing inside his body.
He doesn't think they are similar. But he feels. He feels too much, and he knows they are connected. They share something, a bond, a past life or a curse.
Because Jungkook still holds his hand when it shakes, still looks at him, waiting for Taehyung to open up, be himself and perhaps love himself too.
Taehyung wants to give in. Doesn't want to hold up any gaurd.
"Also", Jungkook sighs, his eyes glint playfulness.
Taehyung wants to give in. Doesn't want to hold up any gaurd.

"It's weird but I want to peel off the perilla leaves for you"
"What" Taehyung unconsciously clutches Jungkook's hand.
"Yeah", Jungkook awkwardly tilts his face to the side, "another reason i wanted to marry you"
Taehyung looks at their wedding bands.
"What" Taehyung unconsciously clutches Jungkook's hand.
"Yeah", Jungkook awkwardly tilts his face to the side, "another reason i wanted to marry you"
Taehyung looks at their wedding bands.
They shine too bright in the moonlight. He doesn't know if he likes the design of the rings, but they look good together. The rings.
"So you married me to peel off perilla leaves for me?", Taehyung feels a smile curving his face.
Jungkook rubs the back of his hair.
"So you married me to peel off perilla leaves for me?", Taehyung feels a smile curving his face.
Jungkook rubs the back of his hair.
"i guess? But that's not the only reason, I married you. I think you are very beau-"
"Okay", Taehyung smiles. He smiles at Jungkook. He lets those eyes crinkle when moonlight dawns his face, his collar bones.
And Jungkook only weakly tightens his hold on Taehyung's hand,
"Okay"

Taehyung wants to resist. His own skin irks him up. Dirty. He's dirty in his mind.
But Jungkook breathes right behind his nape, hot puffs of air touches the back of his neck.
Taehyung closes his eyes, leaning into Jungkook's chest. He lets out a sigh, feeling his nose burn.

"I'm sorry", Taehyung whispers. What else could he even say?
"It's just a minor surgery", Jungkook claims, trying to make no big deals.
Taehyung read those articles. Each and every comment. And he very well knows it's a big deal. He was there.
"I caused it", the prince says.

Jungkook rubs circles on his wrist when he feels Taehyung pulling away.
He doesn't let go of Taehyung. Hold him as closely as possible.
"Yoongi hyung is a strong man" , Jungkook whispers, turning Taehyung to face him.
Jungkook doesn't get why he feel so breathless.

Jungkook doesn't get why he feel so breathless.
Jungkook feels horrible. His heart clenches at the sight.
Taehyung's lashes are wet. Every time he blinks, a tear falls down. He weeps silently. He was weeping silently all along.
Jungkook thinks somebody arranged his guts when he sees a trail of tears down the prince's cheek.

How could it be the same Taehyung that would laugh at anything and everything Jungkook said in the last two months.
How could it be so it's the same Taehyung, that Jungkook had the privilege to hold and give him whatever he could.
And now he sees him like this.
How could it be so it's the same Taehyung, that Jungkook had the privilege to hold and give him whatever he could.

Jungkook brings Taehyung's hand to the left side of his chest.
Just where his heart is.
He can't see Taehyung crying like this. No, it makes him.
"Fuck, Tae, look at me", Jungkook's voice breaks too.
Het too, feels his eyes filling up.

"Days when you want to hide yourself"

"Can you please", Jungkook clenches on his heart,
"Open this door and come inside",
Jungkook found Taehyung in the washroom. Desperately trying to rub his hands, as if he committed a crime, and washing them might wash away his sins.
Jungkook pulls Taehyung closer,

He lets himself wrap his arms around the prince, engulf him completely. If Taehyung feels dirty, then, he wants to be dirty too.
He doesn't want to see Taehyung cry like this again, not after, he knows the elder.
But if Taehyung does cry, he wants to cry with him.

And for the first time in a while, Jungkook feels his heart thump. A little faster. A little louder.

Feeling of being alive, when your heart paces a little, when you feel a little breathless, a little warm, a little near the edge.
He holds onto Taehyung, like he promised.
Because for the first time, Jungkook had hugged Taehyung.

They blend in nicely. Jimin thinks, when Jungkook closes his eyes, presses his back on Taehyung while the elder grabs his waist.

They blend in nicely. Jimin thinks, when Jungkook closes his eyes, presses his back on Taehyung while the elder grabs his waist.
They are swinging to the sides. Some time later, Jungkook holds Taehyung's hand and turns him around, bringing him closer and then turning him around again.
Seconds later, there's Taehyung whispering something in Jungkook's ears making the future CEO laugh out loud.

If there were other people, it would just look like a random couple fooling around, having fun in each other's company.
And Jimin thinks that's how it should look like.
Just a normal couple. Amusing themselves. And nothing else matters.

Minutes later, they are trying to do, Jimin guesses with the way their body moves, hand in hand, as they twist their waists to the side. Salsa? Is it.
It doesn't even match the music.
But they complement each other so well, that everything looks like it makes sense.

Jimin takes a sigh of relief. His best friend looks happy.

And for him, that is the only thing that matters.
Until it doesn't. Until he turns around to his left, and finds Yoongi's eyes on Taehyung and Jungkook.
Jimin is a detail oriented person. If he wants to. And right now, it's irking him up, when he notices-

There's anger in Yoongi's look. He too, has a glass of scotch in his hand. But, his hold on the glass is too tight.
Jimin, looks into more, and he notices the shift from anger to soreness.
He sees the sting of pain in Yoongi's eyes when he looks directly at Taehyung.

Yoongi stands right by the door. He closes his eyes, trying to keep his breath normal.
He contemplates for one more second. "Fuck it", Yoongi curses opening the door and entering inside.
His breath hitches as he completely stills.

His breath hitches as he completely stills.
"Are you out of your mind?", He hears but ignores. The chiselled six pack abs , the perfect v line.
"At least knock, will you?"
Yoongi feels breathless.
"I'm sorry", he whispers but his eyes aren't sorry, because he still stares at those cut through abs on the shining body.
"At least knock, will you?"
Yoongi feels breathless.
"I'm sorry", he whispers but his eyes aren't sorry, because he still stares at those cut through abs on the shining body.
"why are you here?", Jimin asks, as he starts wearing his night dress, as fast as he could.
"You have a tattoo"
Jimin looks down at his abdomen, it says "Nevermind". A little smile dawns upon his face before he completely slides the shirt on his body.

But then he looks up again, there's a distressed yoongi right in front of him.
He is playing with his lips, this way, Yoongi doesn't look cunning. Rather innocent. A lot more his age.
But Jimin is completely sober. And those damn thoughts return again.

"what do you want?", Jimin spits, anger bubbling in his heart.
"What does "nevermind" mean?"
It's clear Yoongi is trying to dodge his questions. He sits on Jimin's bed where at a lot of distance, Hoseok is snoring too. He stares at Jimin, waiting for an answer.

Jimin sighs. If he doesn't want to tell why he's here. He won't force.
He takes a seat next to Yoongi, there's still a lot of space between them. But they sit together to talk, after a long while.
"I got it for Taehyung",Jimin claims,
"I wanted him to forget it"

Yoongi's eyes drop to Jimin's side, which is now covered with a sheer shirt.
"We were twenty back then. Joon hyung was trying some experiments+

"and i got burned a little",
It's not the best memory Taehyung and Jimin shares, and even iterating like this to someone, Jimin's heart clenches.
"Taehyung refused to see me after that. Locked himself in a room. But I was determined to tell him, no pain could stop me. Us. "

"I covered where i got burned with a tattoo. Told him to nevermind the burn. Nevermind the pain. Nevermind the people. But just me. Because I'll still be there for him"
Jimin groans," fuck it's been eight years to that" he hides his face in his palm.

"you'll really do anything for him, don't you?",

"Now, tell me why are you here?"
"why were you ignoring me?", yoongi rather asks than answering.
"I wasn't-"
The elder raises a brow.
"Okay I was. But-", Jimin tries to not raise his voice, realising Hoseok is sleeping right behind them.
"You really do care about Taehyung", Yoongi casually says.
"I wasn't-"
The elder raises a brow.
"Okay I was. But-", Jimin tries to not raise his voice, realising Hoseok is sleeping right behind them.

Jimin stills. He notices, Yoongi isn't grinning anymore. But he looks serious, he sits straight, eyes never leaving Jimin.
"You know about the deal, don't you?"
Jimin remains silent. The deal. Yes. He knows about it. Knows every detail of it.
"Why?", Jimin's eyes turn dark.
"You know about the deal, don't you?"
Jimin remains silent. The deal. Yes. He knows about it. Knows every detail of it.
"Why?", Jimin's eyes turn dark.
Yoongi smirks. He just nods, slightly. Like he too, is grasping the situation.
"So everyone knows about it except for Tae"
Jimin clenches his fist. He is aware of the sarcasm in Yoongi's tone. Those thoughts, those observations Jimin made. Seems to be true. Seems to be a fact.
"So everyone knows about it except for Tae"
Jimin clenches his fist. He is aware of the sarcasm in Yoongi's tone. Those thoughts, those observations Jimin made. Seems to be true. Seems to be a fact.
"Do you like Jungkook?", He wants to confirm his theory. The way Yoongi, acted around Taehyung initially, the way he looks at Jungkook whenever they are together. The way- it all makes sense. And he even knows about the deal.
The elder stares for a second. Yoongi scoffs. He lets out a snoring laughter, closing his eyes,
"Damn Jimin, are you still drunk?", Yoongi shifts closer, "Is that why you are ignoring me?"
"Not funny", Jimin wants to curse so loudly, "you are hiding something"
"Damn Jimin, are you still drunk?", Yoongi shifts closer, "Is that why you are ignoring me?"

"I am", Yoongi whispers, his face inches away from Jimin's. "In fact, You are right"
"So you do like him?", Jimin doesn't flinch, nor does he move away despite the proximity.
"Tell me Jimin, if you have power to heal every wound, how will you feel?"
Jimin blinks.
"So you do like him?", Jimin doesn't flinch, nor does he move away despite the proximity.
"Tell me Jimin, if you have power to heal every wound, how will you feel?"
Jimin blinks.
Jimin doesn't answer. To heal every wound of yours, to get away from every pain, every heart break, it must feel compelling. But Jimin doesn't answer, when he feels Yoongi's hand on his waist.
"Strong?", Yoongi whispers, "Like you are the most powerful person?"
"Strong?", Yoongi whispers, "Like you are the most powerful person?"
"but guess what", Yoongi runs his thumb over the nevermind tattoo, just above the sheer shirt,
"If you can't feel any pain, you stop valuing the pleasure"
Jimin feels blacking out, "what do you mean?", He whispers.
"Jungkook was ten when he stopped feeling any pain."
"If you can't feel any pain, you stop valuing the pleasure"
Jimin feels blacking out, "what do you mean?", He whispers.
"Jungkook was ten when he stopped feeling any pain."
"And right now, what you see, is an emotionless robot. He couldn't feel pain for years, so he stopped valuing any kind of happiness"
This doesn't feel right. Why was this not mentioned earlier. Why is this. Messy.
"You cared for Taehyung and he cares for you but Jimin-ah.. "
This doesn't feel right. Why was this not mentioned earlier. Why is this. Messy.

Jimin tries to get out of Yoongi's hold but the man only tightens,
"Listen here. I don't like Jungkook in that way. He's like a little brother to me. And even Taehyung too"
"Let go", Jimin whispers, he knows where this is heading.

"But you know who does like Jungkook?",
Jimin wants to cry. He wants to hide. This wasn't how it was supposed to go.
"Taehyung likes Jungkook, Mimi. Your Taehyung likes Jungkook"
And Jungkook will never feel anything for Taehyung.
There was no power, he was cursed too.

Jimin lets out a sob, when Yoongi loses his hold, but still lightly grips,
Taehyung will get hurt. Eventually, he will. And that's the last thing Jimin wants.
"Guess what"
There's more. It's messy. And it will get Messier. This needs to be stopped.
Taehyung will get hurt. Eventually, he will. And that's the last thing Jimin wants.

"They will stay with each other until Taehyung's curse is transferred to Jungkook. Until the king is not saved. Until the deal isn't done",
"And it would be too late"
Jimin rests his head on Yoongi. He cries. It was a simple deal. Taehyung was supposed to get out of the curse.
"And it would be too late"
Jimin rests his head on Yoongi. He cries. It was a simple deal. Taehyung was supposed to get out of the curse.
His shoulder bobbles with every sob. Yoongi only pats his back.

"There was no love involved in the deal", Yoongi answers all the facts.
"Why did you not tell me, Jungkook didn't feel anything" Jimin wails.

Jimin has seen it. Since the beginning. He was so happy when Jungkook reached out to Namjoon with his ability.
Namjoon had shared his research and his thoughts. They came up with a simple plan.
One, that saves Taehyung and benefits the future CEO.

And it became a deal, when the King told them, he got only six months left.
Cancer. Doctors said he was impossible to be saved at this stage.
But there was Jeon Jungkook, king's knight in shining Armor.
It was so fucking simple.

But there was Jeon Jungkook, king's knight in shining Armor.

Namjoon had claimed, with time, whenever Taehyung touches someone, the effect lessens.
That is, if his touch made his mother die at the age of five; and by the age of twenty, his touch only burns the other's skin.
The deadly fingers have less effect.

And involving Jungkook. The hero, who can't feel any pain, who doesn't get hurt. Will only lessens Taehyung's effect of hurting others.
It will fasten up the process.
The marriage was a deal to make them spend some time together.
And it did happen. It's still happening.

The marriage was a deal to make them spend some time together.

The shoulder he is crying on right now, it didn't burn. But just got into a minor surgery.
Taehyung is getting better. Slowly transferring it to Jungkook.
Jungkook is absorbing Taehyung's touch, his ability to touch anyone and hurt.
And if Namjoon's calculations are correct,
Taehyung is getting better. Slowly transferring it to Jungkook.
Jungkook is absorbing Taehyung's touch, his ability to touch anyone and hurt.
And if Namjoon's calculations are correct,
Jungkook with his own curse and Taehyung's curse, will be able to touch anyone and heal.
Yes. Heal. Save.
Not just himself. But anyone.
And Taehyung will be free.
And the King will be saved too with Jungkook's touch.
Isn't it simple?
Yes. Heal. Save.
Not just himself. But anyone.
And Taehyung will be free.
And the King will be saved too with Jungkook's touch.
Isn't it simple?
A transfer of power. A transfer of curses.
There's only one ace of spade in a card's deck. For Jungkook, it was his power to heal. For Taehyung, it was the power to touch anyone.
And now, shall the king remain, whose touch could save anyone and everyone.

It wasn't about the queen. Or the joker. But the king.
Jimin sobs. Is it too late?
Because when did they start playing chess and sacrificed the queen.
His phone chimes with a message. Too late.

Jungkook hisses. He pauses the video, sitting straight to find Yoongi's hawk eyes on him.
"What", Jungkook says, totally pissed off.
"What the fuck are you doing?"
They were supposed to discuss some finance stuff for a project.
"Taehyung just uploaded a new video"

"Taehyung just uploaded a new video"
Jungkook reasons. Winter bear uploaded a new cover of a song called, city of stars. And Jungkook was just trying to be supportive of his husband. His amazing husband.
Yoongi pauses. His eyes are calculative. He wants to speak something, the younger can see, but Yoongi doesn't.

And if Yoongi is not speaking, Jungkook goes back to his phone, there's Taehyung's thumbnail, smiling at the camera.
Jungkook knows the elder is still watchful of him,so rather than going back to the video, he scrolls through the comments.

There are comments praising him. Asking him to post more, sing more, even compose. A lot of comments, asking him to feature Jungkook.
And then there are comments, asking him to get away from Jungkook. He shouldn't be near the future CEO. He doesn't deserve to be loved by Jk.

"You know Taehyung is different..", Yoongi finally speaks.
After that, Jungkook's eyes are challenging. He looks at Yoongi, bold, ready to hurt anyone who calls him out for bullshit.
"What do you mean?", Jungkook asks. He wants to confirm.

"He deserves better"
Jungkook pokes his tongue to his cheek. His breath is getting heavier, when he notices Yoongi was directly staring at his heart.
The younger snorts.

He likes that comment. It's ironic. Taehyung doesn't deserve his love. Because Taehyung deserves so much better. And just so, Jungkook doesn't have any love to offer.
He plays the video again. There's Taehyung on the Piano, and now he is singing too rather than just humming.

It's been a month since Namjoon checked on them. The researcher initially thought it would be difficult for Taehyung to open up with Jungkook.
To feel okay under his touch, to be okay around someone else.
But the progress had his mind blown away.

It's been a month since Namjoon checked on them. The researcher initially thought it would be difficult for Taehyung to open up with Jungkook.
To feel okay under his touch, to be okay around someone else.
But the progress had his mind blown away.
Namjoon came to observe how they share so many things in common. They like ramen. A lot of ramen. Most nights you'll see them gaming and having ramen, sometimes Jin joins them.
And then there's music. Taehyung has always loved music since his childhood.
And then there's music. Taehyung has always loved music since his childhood.
Namjoon couldn't guess it would be something that would connect him with Jungkook.
When they were doing the five minute holding hand exercise, Namjoon had overheard them about sharing a playlist.
They sometimes feel like the same person but in two bodies. Like right now.

Taehyung is deadlocking Jungkook in his hold, claiming he works out too.
While Jungkook only tries to flaunts his muscles.
They are connected to Namjoon's machines. But they don't care when Taehyung tries to pick up Jungkook, proving he does work out.
In their own bubble.

See? That's the reason why Namjoon didn't need to bring them to do any experiments. They are fine on their own.
So he just brings them in for regular monthly check ups.
"Tae we should work out together", Jungkook giggles when Taehyung tries to lift him up again.
"We should"

But the progress, the development between them is mind boggling.
A soft smile appears on the researcher's face.
"My cat in Daegu is cuter, of course"
And then there's Yoongi and Jimin bickering in the next room. There's something growing between them too.

And that's more interesting to Namjoon than a deadlifting weight competition.
"I'm probably the cutest cat human on Seoul though", Yoongi back fires.
Namjoon gives one look to Taehyung and Jungkook. They'll be okay. He leaves to observe another pair of a maybe couple.

Jungkook takes a seat, huffing out for breath. Somehow the deadlifting competition turned into a boxing one.
Taehyung was keen to show his skills on Jungkook's abs which made them burst out of laughter and eventually out of breath.
Jungkook takes a break, catching up.

Taehyung stands taking support of the wall. He looks at Jungkook, his hair sleek back into a small pony tail, a simple black tee uncovering his beautiful tattoos.
And then there's Joon's machines and monitors lighting the younger's face.
Taehyung's eyes fill with mischief.

But he still lets him.

Jungkook notices Taehyung's eyes aren't on him when he moves further on his lap,
he follows Taehyung's gaze to one of Namjoon's monitors.
The monitors are connected to both of them, so whatever the data they are showing is related to them.
Taehyung pushes in more.

But Taehyung pays no attention and shifts again to finally get comfortable. His eyes still stuck to one of the monitors.

Taehyung turns to look at Jungkook.
And another realisation hits Jungkook. Taehyung is too close. His face is not even inches away.
Taehyung is staring at him, obnoxiously close. Jungkook feels hot air fanning on his nose when the prince breathes.
So close.

And his eyes land on those pink plush lips when they move to speak something,
"Jungkookie", Taehyung breathes but his voice is still so velvety and soft.
"Why is your heart not beating fast?"
Jungkook is taken aback for a moment. He blinks when he turns to look at the monitor.

Jungkook observes how Taehyung's heartbeat on the monitor looks so irregular, huge graphs showing Taehyung's heart is pounding.
And if Jungkook closes his eyes, he could hear the prince's heartbeat because he's so close.
But rather than closing his eyes, he looks at his own.

Jungkook's graph is plain. Basic. It's more orderly and structured. As if he's just breathing. Not living.

Joining their foreheads together.

He grazes his finger on Taehyung's waist one last time, before letting him go.
The door opens to Yoongi and Jimin bantering followed by an amused Namjoon.

Butterflies.
They are beautiful too? Aren't they? But you can only steal glances at them. If you touch them, they'll fly away.
Will you fly away too? Jungkook questions himself.

Jungkook's hand instinctively loops around Taehyung's dip between his torso and waist.

Taehyung pushes back until the back head rests in Jungkook's neck, feeling the vibrations when he hums.

Namjoon gives a look to Jungkook. As if he is disturbed by the question, but then he looks at the monitors connected to the machines.
"They measure your emotions"
"And heart beat"
Namjoon gives a look to Jungkook. As if he is disturbed by the question, but then he looks at the monitors connected to the machines.
"They measure your emotions"
"And heart beat"
Jungkook nods. He too, observes the monitors now.
There's a big one, probably showing his heart beat, simple mountainous curves. Like a normal human being.
And then there's a small monitor next to it. But there's nothing on it.
Jungkook guesses, it's probably the emotions one.

Jungkook guesses, it's probably the emotions one.
Namjoon is writing something on his notepad, his eyes squinting on the monitor.
"Why are you only checking up on me?", Jungkook inquires. Because why not Taehyung too. Is everything alright?
But Namjoon sounds annoyed. Grave.
"Jungkook", he sighs, trying to calm himself-
"Why are you only checking up on me?", Jungkook inquires. Because why not Taehyung too. Is everything alright?
But Namjoon sounds annoyed. Grave.
"Jungkook", he sighs, trying to calm himself-
"You literally cried yesterday" he deadpans.
Jungkook blinks. He did cry. He remembers. But his eyes look blank, void of any emotions right now.
"I know", he whispers.
"You haven't cried in years", That's a fact Namjoon states so casually.
Jungkook blinks. He did cry. He remembers. But his eyes look blank, void of any emotions right now.
"I know", he whispers.
"You haven't cried in years", That's a fact Namjoon states so casually.
Jungkook doesn't know what to answer. What to do with such information. He blankly stares in the front.
Namjoon closes his eyes. He takes a deep breath.
"Why?", The researcher asks.
Why did he cry?
Jungkook looks down at his hands. There's so many answers to the why.
Namjoon closes his eyes. He takes a deep breath.
"Why?", The researcher asks.
Why did he cry?
Jungkook looks down at his hands. There's so many answers to the why.
Few memories reel back to his mind. One where, Jungkook tells why he wanted to marry Taehyung. Another, where he comforts Taehyung when Yoongi got hurt. And there's the recent one, where Taehyung kisses his chest, right where his heart is.
Jungkook looks for his why.
Jungkook looks for his why.
There's no particular pattern in those memories. But there's one thing common in them.
Taehyung.
His husband. Taehyung.
"We all cried hyung. His song was so raw. I couldn't stop."
Namjoon nods. That's not the real reason. The researcher knows. Because it's not about everyone.
Taehyung.
His husband. Taehyung.
"We all cried hyung. His song was so raw. I couldn't stop."
Namjoon nods. That's not the real reason. The researcher knows. Because it's not about everyone.
It's about Jungkook. About Jungkook who can't feel any pain. Cried. For someone else's pain.
The researcher accepts the answer for now.
"How did it feel?"
"To let it out after so long?"
Jungkook stares at the small monitor. It's empty. Void. Just like him.
The researcher accepts the answer for now.
"How did it feel?"
"To let it out after so long?"
Jungkook stares at the small monitor. It's empty. Void. Just like him.
To let it out after so long? The truth is, he wasn't holding on to any emotions that he let out.
He was holding onto the one hope, that he could heal Taehyung.
Taehyung's pain that he conveyed through his music. Taehyung's hurt that goes away when he holds Jungkook's hands.
He was holding onto the one hope, that he could heal Taehyung.
Taehyung's pain that he conveyed through his music. Taehyung's hurt that goes away when he holds Jungkook's hands.
"Why are you asking so many questions all of a sudden?",
"Taehyung is healing right?"
Namjoon doesn't miss how Jungkook ignored his question or how he is trying to beat around the bush. Or just how desperate he sounds with his last sentence.
The researcher smirks.
"Taehyung is healing right?"
Namjoon doesn't miss how Jungkook ignored his question or how he is trying to beat around the bush. Or just how desperate he sounds with his last sentence.
The researcher smirks.
"Jungkook-ie", the elder sits on the chair right in front of Jungkook. His hands upfront, as he smiles.
"Do you remember what the deal is about?"
"Yes. Of-course", there's confidence oozing out of Jungkook's voice.
Namjoon only raises a brow.
"It's to transfer the curse"
"Do you remember what the deal is about?"
"Yes. Of-course", there's confidence oozing out of Jungkook's voice.
Namjoon only raises a brow.
"It's to transfer the curse"
"And?", It's fun for Namjoon. Exciting.
"To heal Taehyung", the younger claims.
Attaboy. The fish is caught on the net. It gives a nice adrenaline rush to the researcher.
"You're wrong", he points out,
"It's about transferring the curse. Yes."

Attaboy. The fish is caught on the net. It gives a nice adrenaline rush to the researcher.
"You're wrong", he points out,
"It's about transferring the curse. Yes."
"And then save the king"
That is the deal. Transfer Taehyung's curse. Jungkook will be able to heal anyone with his touch. And the king will be saved.
"It's just that, Taehyung is getting benefited from this deal too... Otherwise he is not even informed about the deal"
That is the deal. Transfer Taehyung's curse. Jungkook will be able to heal anyone with his touch. And the king will be saved.
"It's just that, Taehyung is getting benefited from this deal too... Otherwise he is not even informed about the deal"
Jungkook knows. He knows everything. He knows Taehyung wasn't informed about the deal or else he would never take a risk to touch anyone.
His father only let him out of the damned palace because they had a deal. Let him marry. Because they had a deal.
Taehyung got no say in it
His father only let him out of the damned palace because they had a deal. Let him marry. Because they had a deal.
Taehyung got no say in it
He knows all of this. And that's why he has been doing everything to make Taehyung comfortable. Make Taehyung feel better. Make Taehyung love himself.
Wasn't't that the goal? To heal him?
Jungkook's eyes sharpened. And Namjoon escalates with happiness.
"What do you mean"
Wasn't't that the goal? To heal him?
Jungkook's eyes sharpened. And Namjoon escalates with happiness.
"What do you mean"
"I meant what I said", his voice is soft,
"The deal is benefiting all of you. And when it's done. Taehyung will be free..."
Jungkook can see Namjoon has more to add. He waits.
"He'll be free to touch anyone. He will be able to live a normal life. Aren't you glad, Jungkook?"
"The deal is benefiting all of you. And when it's done. Taehyung will be free..."
Jungkook can see Namjoon has more to add. He waits.
"He'll be free to touch anyone. He will be able to live a normal life. Aren't you glad, Jungkook?"
"Taehyungie will be able to do everything. He will be healed. And maybe, he'll go out and fall for someone", Namjoon smiles,
"Who loves him"
Jungkook pokes his tongue to his cheek. Another memory, when Yoongi said Taehyung deserves better. Than him. Jungkook wets his lips.
"Who loves him"
Jungkook pokes his tongue to his cheek. Another memory, when Yoongi said Taehyung deserves better. Than him. Jungkook wets his lips.
He is staring at Namjoon. And in his eyes. They aren't void anymore. There's something.
Namjoon takes his chances,
"And maybe he'll divorce you. Go back to Daegu with his lover. Woah. I'd be so happy for Taehyung"
Jungkook doesn't say anything.
And the researcher smirks again.
Namjoon takes his chances,
"And maybe he'll divorce you. Go back to Daegu with his lover. Woah. I'd be so happy for Taehyung"
Jungkook doesn't say anything.
And the researcher smirks again.
His smirk only gets wider when he sees the heart beat monitor again, it's beating. The waves are a little higher. Pounding. Jungkook's heart is pounding.
Because in Jungkook's eyes, there's not jealousy. There's no glad feelings that Taehyung will be happy.
There's anguish.
Because in Jungkook's eyes, there's not jealousy. There's no glad feelings that Taehyung will be happy.
There's anguish.
Pure pain of losing someone. Someone he wants to hold onto. Someone he wants to never let go. Someone who he deeply cares about.
Someone who he, Jungkook wouldn't know the right word.
"You'll be happy too, right? Jungkookie? Your baby bear would be healed... because of you"
Someone who he, Jungkook wouldn't know the right word.
"You'll be happy too, right? Jungkookie? Your baby bear would be healed... because of you"
His. His baby bear. Jungkook looks at his damned hands again. He will heal him. With his touch.
He wasn't useless after all. His curse wasn't useless. But still...
But what about Jungkookie? Who will heal him?
"Yes", Jungkook whispers to whatever Namjoon questioned.
He wasn't useless after all. His curse wasn't useless. But still...
But what about Jungkookie? Who will heal him?
"Yes", Jungkook whispers to whatever Namjoon questioned.
The question is if he'll be happy when Taehyung leaves him.
And Jungkook had lied for the third time straight to Namjoon.
It makes the researcher scoff,
"Great", Namjoon closes his eyes.
"Glad you know you will have to leave Taehyung eventually"
Jungkook stares down.

Jungkook stares down.
"So let go of him Jungkook-ah. When it's time. Let go of him"
Jungkook keeps his eyes closed, until Namjoon's last sentence hits him.
"Or else you will hurt him too"
Jungkook's eyes shot up. They are crinkling. He finds Namjoon is not even looking at him but the monitors.

Jungkook's eyes shot up. They are crinkling. He finds Namjoon is not even looking at him but the monitors.
What the fuck did he say?
Jungkook doesn't know when he raises his voice. He doesn't blink at all. He wants to punch Namjoon to even think like that.
"I would never",
Jungkook's phone buzzing in his pocket.
"I would never hurt him"
Namjoon doesn't spare an eye to him.

Namjoon doesn't spare an eye to him.
He keeps them on the monitor.
For what Jungkook can't see, is what Namjoon had observed.
The slight pulsating heartbeat. The graveness in Jungkook's voice to even think about losing Taehyung. The hideous burn in those sharp eyes.
It's super fun.
"Answer the damned phone"

"Answer the damned phone"
And then there's Jungkook hostilely removing all the equipment of Namjoon's machines from his arms and chest.
He takes out his phone, finding the number calling him.
It's saved as "Grandpa".
Jungkook gives a scornful look to him and storms out of the room, answering the call.

Jungkook gives a scornful look to him and storms out of the room, answering the call.
For what, Jungkook had missed how Namjoon let out his own tears.
Because Namjoon had his eyes on the mini monitor. It wasn't empty. It wasn't empty since he talked about Taehyung leaving Jungkook.
It wasn't empty at all when he talked about how Taehyung is healing.
Because Namjoon had his eyes on the mini monitor. It wasn't empty. It wasn't empty since he talked about Taehyung leaving Jungkook.
It wasn't empty at all when he talked about how Taehyung is healing.
Because if Jungkook thought he was healing Taehyung.
Then what we saw today, was rather, Taehyung healing Jungkook.
Taehyung brought a side of Jungkook where he could feel. Feel the pain.
Taehyung made the man cry for him who doesn't give two shits about anything.

Taehyung made the man cry for him who doesn't give two shits about anything.
Maybe now that Taehyung conveyed through his songs, that he did, finally accept himself.
And now that, Jungkook cried because he didn't feel useless.
That only means, Jungkook can still feel the pain.
And there's no pain graver than losing a loved one.
Love? Namjoon smiles.

"Tae?", Jungkook calls for him again but Taehyung remains focused on the mirror in front of him.
Jungkook pouts, as he plays with his lips. Taehyung said he wasn't mad. Nor hurt. Then why is he ignoring him?
Did he not miss him? Jungkook gulps.

Did he not miss him? Jungkook gulps.
Jungkook was awfully happy today. He was looking forward to returning home. Usually, he would never care at what time he comes home from work.
But he thought Taehyung would be waiting for him too. Like he always does.
This is clear not what he expected.
But he thought Taehyung would be waiting for him too. Like he always does.
This is clear not what he expected.
Jungkook sits on one of the gym machines. He can hear Taehyung puffing breaths in and out.
But the prince completes one set and moves to another exercise.
Ignoring Jungkook's complete existence.
But as much as Jungkook was happy, he is determined to get Taehyung's attention.

Jungkook smiles to himself. He didn't just become a CEO like this. He is smart. Genius. He got a nice IQ. Not better than Namjoon but still.. he is smart.
Smart enough when he rolls his sleeves, stands in front of Taehyung and blocks his mirror view.
So that Taehyung's eyes+

Jungkook smirks when Taehyung's eyebrows lift. He starts executing his genius plan right the next moment.
The CEO holds the dumbells and follow Taehyung's exercise. Bending their arms, curling their biceps.
They workout together.

Jungkook likes weight training. But more so, he likes Taehyung in front of him.
Their eyes don't meet, because the prince is busy staring at Jungkook's arms. The business man smirks again.
More so, because he knows he looks hot when he works out. And today he's wearing a shirt.

More so, because he knows he looks hot when he works out. And today he's wearing a shirt.
White sheer shirt that has slowly started dripping with sweat. Obviously Taehyung would never be able to resist such a rare sight.
Jungkook starts grunting with every press. It's so fun to tease Taehyung.
Jungkook smiles when he sees Taehyung's lip curl a little on the sides.

Jungkook smiles when he sees Taehyung's lip curl a little on the sides.
His plan is successful. Isn't it? Jungkook is so glad he didn't change his clothes after the flight. Because he's sure the two undone buttons on the top can easily flaunt his puffed chest.
Taehyung scoffs. He nods.
"Hi?", Jungkook tries.
Taehyung closes his eyes for a moment.
Taehyung scoffs. He nods.
"Hi?", Jungkook tries.
Taehyung closes his eyes for a moment.
Jungkook waits. Their hands keep moving and hitting those muscles. Jungkook waits for his reply.
But what could be the worst thing to happen?
They say, there's a thin line between confidence and over confidence.
Taehyung didn't reply. Nor did he open his eyes after that.

Taehyung didn't reply. Nor did he open his eyes after that.
The prince keeps working out but with his eyes closed. No matter, how hot Jungkook looks, Taehyung is a determined person too.
It dawns on the CEO. Jungkook keeps the dumbells down, sucking in a breath. Jungkook's lips wobble.
"Tae I'm sorry...but can you please not ignore me?"
It dawns on the CEO. Jungkook keeps the dumbells down, sucking in a breath. Jungkook's lips wobble.
"Tae I'm sorry...but can you please not ignore me?"
Jungkook's voice is pleading. And there's a sense of annoyance in it. Desperation too.
Taehyung opens his eyes. His face remains indifferent.
He too, keeps his weights down with a big sigh, as if his workout got disturbed.
"Can we please talk?", Jungkook questions again.

The prince takes a towel to clean his sweat. Taehyung turns to finally look at Jungkook. He lets out a sigh again, but this time it's a sigh of relief.
Jungkook is pouting. A lot.
And Taehyung wants to laugh. Coo at his dear adorable husband.
But he keeps his face straight.

But he keeps his face straight.
Taehyung moves forward in his front. Right where Jungkook is.
"What happened baby?", Jungkook speaks again as he notices Taehyung coming towards him.
The elder stands right in front of Jungkook. Just a second away to be in his arms.
But he resists to feel that touch today.

Taehyung takes the same towel he used, dabbing the CEO's sweat on the forehead.
Jungkook stands straight. He lets Taehyung do whatever he wants to.
The prince smiles to himself, when he closes the unbuttoned shirt.
"You don't have to impress me like this", he whispers.
Jungkook stands straight. He lets Taehyung do whatever he wants to.
The prince smiles to himself, when he closes the unbuttoned shirt.
"You don't have to impress me like this", he whispers.
Jungkook's mouth remains agape as he hears Taehyung's voice. It's just been three days since they didn't meet, but it feels like years.
"I missed you too", Taehyung says, closing the final button and then flicking Jungkook's chin.
The prince is smiling. Only at his husband.
"I missed you too", Taehyung says, closing the final button and then flicking Jungkook's chin.
The prince is smiling. Only at his husband.
Jungkook just stares. If he could, he would capture this smile.
"Welcome back Mr. CEO" Taehyung says, as his hands curl on Jungkook's left bicep. Feeling the muscles.
He won't lie, he'd been dying to do it since Jungkook exposed his tattooed sleeves.

He won't lie, he'd been dying to do it since Jungkook exposed his tattooed sleeves.
Jungkook brings his hand on Taehyung's waist. He's been irking to do that. And damn, they fit so fucking perfectly.
They both are staring in each other's eyes. There's peace in Taehyung's almond eyes. Jungkook likes it.
"You didn't congratulate me", Jungkook complained softly.

"You didn't congratulate me", Jungkook complained softly.
"Oh", Taehyung smiles, biting his lips. "I didn't?", Taehyung tries to play dumb.
But Jungkook doesn't say anything for a moment. He rubs tiny circles on Taehyung's waist. The prince missed this. His touch. The only touch he keeps falling for. The warmth. The care.
But Jungkook doesn't say anything for a moment. He rubs tiny circles on Taehyung's waist. The prince missed this. His touch. The only touch he keeps falling for. The warmth. The care.
The CEO doesn't say anything but his eyes tell a lot. They tell how much Jungkook missed Taehyung, how much he wants Taehyung.
Taehyung gulps, if Jungkook can play, he can play too.
"Should I make it up to you?", He politely questions.
Taehyung gulps, if Jungkook can play, he can play too.
"Should I make it up to you?", He politely questions.
And Jungkook doesn't like to play dumb at all. He is a genius. Remember?
He gets out of trans, picking upon Taehyung's antics.
"Yeah?", The younger whispers, "how?",amused.
How will Taehyung congratulate him on three days old news.

"Let's see, for the new CEO", Taehyung hums, thinking hard. Or maybe pretending to think hard.
"I can give him permission to kiss my face moles", Taehyung raises a brow, suggesting.
Jungkook lets out a gasp, his hold in Taehyung's waist getting tighter.
"Tae... As much as I"

"You don't want to?", Taehyung pouts. Jokingly.
Jungkook giggles, a little embarrassed. He wants to. So much.
"I do want to baby but..."
Taehyung puts a finger on Jungkook's left side of chest, right on the heart,
"Then do what your heart desires...Baby" he teases.
Jungkook giggles, a little embarrassed. He wants to. So much.
"I do want to baby but..."
Taehyung puts a finger on Jungkook's left side of chest, right on the heart,

Jungkook sighs. He doesn't even know what his heart desires. But he nods. Nods for Taehyung.
"First tell me, why were you ignoring me?"
Jungkook should know. He won't repeat anything that will make Taehyung upset. Ever.
"First kiss them", The prince demands.
"First tell me, why were you ignoring me?"
Jungkook should know. He won't repeat anything that will make Taehyung upset. Ever.
"First kiss them", The prince demands.
The CEO might be able to heal himself with any pain. But he's still a weak man. A very weak man to his husband's desires. He gives in so easily.
Jungkook pulls Taehyung closer. Their faces are just inches apart.
"Brat", Jungkook whispers playfully. And Taehyung only shrugs.
Jungkook pulls Taehyung closer. Their faces are just inches apart.
"Brat", Jungkook whispers playfully. And Taehyung only shrugs.
Jungkook remembers each and every scattered dot on the beautifully sculpted face.
He takes it easy for the first. The one on the forehead.
Taehyung shivers when he feels the warm yet wet press on his face. He leaves all his body weight on Jungkook.

Taehyung shivers when he feels the warm yet wet press on his face. He leaves all his body weight on Jungkook.
He kisses the one on the right cheek for the second.
He loves how Taehyung holds his breath just before the kiss.
Jungkook, then, pecks Taehyung right under his eye.
"So pretty", he whispers under his breath.
The CEO kisses Taehyung's nose for the last.
He loves how Taehyung holds his breath just before the kiss.
Jungkook, then, pecks Taehyung right under his eye.

The CEO kisses Taehyung's nose for the last.
He nuzzles there for a moment. Basking Taehyung's raw scent.
"Thank you. I enjoyed my gift.", Jungkook smiles.
"There's still one on my lip though"
Jungkook knows. He didn't skip it. He looks down on the lower lip. There's one. Sweet chocolate chip.
"Thank you. I enjoyed my gift.", Jungkook smiles.
"There's still one on my lip though"
Jungkook knows. He didn't skip it. He looks down on the lower lip. There's one. Sweet chocolate chip.
Jungkook wet his lips. Taehyung's red plush soft looks so inviting.
Jungkook presses the pad of his thumb right where the mole is on his lips. So fucking soft under his skin.
"Tae", Jungkook takes a deep breath,
"If I do...then I won't be able to let go"
Let go. He has to.
Jungkook presses the pad of his thumb right where the mole is on his lips. So fucking soft under his skin.
"Tae", Jungkook takes a deep breath,
"If I do...then I won't be able to let go"
Let go. He has to.
He has to let go of Taehyung. And he meant it both metaphorically and literally.
So many times he has resisted his urge to kiss them. He can do it one more time.
"Then don't let go", Taehyung replies, his own voice high pitched.
Jungkook wants to hide. He can't.

Jungkook wants to hide. He can't.
He can't give in. No. If he kisses Taehyung. It will hurt him. It will hurt Taehyung. And that's the last thing Jungkook wants to do.
He slowly lets go of Taehyung's waist, as he tries to change the topic,
"Why were you ignoring me?"
Taehyung closes his eyes. He smiles.

Taehyung closes his eyes. He smiles.
Taehyung felt it. Jungkook pulling away. While he still wants to chase it.
At least one of them should follow their heart.
Taehyung does.
He hugs his husband. Embraces him in. Rests his chin on his shoulder. Wraps his arms around all of him.
"Joon hyung asked me to ignore you"
At least one of them should follow their heart.
Taehyung does.
He hugs his husband. Embraces him in. Rests his chin on his shoulder. Wraps his arms around all of him.
"Joon hyung asked me to ignore you"
Jungkook's eyes widen. He doesn't pull away when Taehyung hugs him.
He very vividly remembers their last conversation.
"Hyung said it's one of his experiments again... But i know you kept posting so many pictures of yours"
"To get my attention right?"
He very vividly remembers their last conversation.
"Hyung said it's one of his experiments again... But i know you kept posting so many pictures of yours"
"To get my attention right?"
Jungkook keeps a protective hand on Taehyung's waist.
"Yes",he whispers but still on high alert. It's true, he posted a lot, texted a lot for his husband. There's no denying that.
And what's also another fact is, Kim Namjoon knows something. And he is the one hiding something.
"Yes",he whispers but still on high alert. It's true, he posted a lot, texted a lot for his husband. There's no denying that.
And what's also another fact is, Kim Namjoon knows something. And he is the one hiding something.
If Jungkook is smart. Namjoon is smarter. If Jungkook is the king, Namjoon is the ace. He got a better IQ than the CEO.
"You can't get away from me Jungkookie",he hears Taehyung, bear hugging him.
And if Jungkook hears his heart for once. Just once. If his deaf ears could work+

And they could hear how Jungkook's heart screams for one thing.
"I don't want to get away from you", Jungkook wants to say.
But his ears don't work. His heart remains silent.
"I'm a little jet-lagged Taehyung", he says instead.
"I don't want to get away from you", Jungkook wants to say.

"hm... Okay", Taehyung says, pulling away.
He gives a soft smile to Jungkook.
"Go to our room. I'll join you in a sec", Taehyung mentions turning around and picking up some gym equipment.
Jungkook nods. Taking his exit casually. He enters Taehyung's bedroom casually too.

"Do you think going to Daegu will solve everything?", Yoongi deadpans.
"I will never save his life", Jungkook's eyes are sharp just like his voice.
"He's so determined to hurt Taehyung, hyung. I can't let him live if he keeps-"
Yoongi cuts him.

He can only handle enough of Jungkook's tantrums for a day.

Absolutely nothing.

Absolutely nothing.
What's the point when Taehyung has no idea what happens behind his back, the deal, the curse. Jungkook never thought how he would react.
Yoongi sighs, resting his hand on his forehead,
"Anyways the fact is Taehyung's father did leak those photos."
"My appa?"

"My appa?"
Jungkook whips his face to the front door.
And Yoongi curses under his breath.
"Tae", Jungkook is rushing to the prince at full speed, "fuck listen to me please",
Yoongi and Jungkook were discussing in Taehyung's room. Shouting at each other. Spilling the hidden details.

Yoongi and Jungkook were discussing in Taehyung's room. Shouting at each other. Spilling the hidden details.
And now there's Taehyung standing at the periphery of his room.
They don't know how much he listened to them.
"What do you mean appa leaked your pictures?"
Jungkook drops his phone on the bed, as he moves forward towards the prince.
"Tae", his voice soft rather than hoarse.

Jungkook drops his phone on the bed, as he moves forward towards the prince.
"Tae", his voice soft rather than hoarse.
Jungkook reaches out to hold Taehyung, he needs to clear everything. The rumours. The pictures. And he hopes Taehyung didn't hear about the deal.
But if Jungkook wasn't restless enough, he sure is now when Taehyung takes a step backward to escape Jungkook's grasp.
But if Jungkook wasn't restless enough, he sure is now when Taehyung takes a step backward to escape Jungkook's grasp.
"why would appa do that?"
Taehyung waits. Waits for Jungkook to respond.
There's another fear of the CEO. One, where Taehyung pulls away. It took them months to break out of their shells and build their own bubble.
And then there's Namjoon entering the room. Completely calm.

And then there's Namjoon entering the room. Completely calm.
The prince bats an eye on the researcher, on Yoongi but he stares at his husband. Who stands still.
"Answer me Jungkook", Taehyung whispers, his breath giving heavier every passing second.
It's such a weird situation. Jungkook thinks. People would actually laugh at him.
"Answer me Jungkook", Taehyung whispers, his breath giving heavier every passing second.
It's such a weird situation. Jungkook thinks. People would actually laugh at him.
If he opens more with Taehyung, shows more of himself. It will hurt his husband.
And if he tries to slow down his efforts, takes a small step back, Taehyung will completely pull away.
But if he stands still. Like he does now, the prince will demand answers.
And if he tries to slow down his efforts, takes a small step back, Taehyung will completely pull away.
But if he stands still. Like he does now, the prince will demand answers.
And in all the three cases, Jungkook is fighting a losing battle. Namjoon was right. He will have to let Taehyung go eventually.
"Tae", The CEO tries to let out words. Words that would make sense and not reveal anything.
But there's Jungkook's phone buzzing on the bed.
"Tae", The CEO tries to let out words. Words that would make sense and not reveal anything.
But there's Jungkook's phone buzzing on the bed.
There's a notification on his screen. A text message. With a number saved using a crown emoji.
Taehyung's reflexes are fast enough to pick up the phone.
He unlocks Jungkook's phone easily, knowing the password.
"Tae please", Jungkook pleads.
Taehyung reads those new messages.

It's indeed from his appa.
Jungkook doesn't know what those texts say to make Taehyung gulp and leave the room just like that.
With Jungkook's phone.
"Get out of my way", Jungkook snarls when Namjoon is standing blocking his way to follow Taehyung.

"He should know, whatever it is", the researcher claims, not at all scared of how dangerous Jungkook looks right now.
"Fuck", Jungkook turns aroun.
"Fuck. Fuck. Fuck", he punches the wall next to him, too hard that it leaves his fingers bleeding.

"Fuck. Fuck. Fuck", he punches the wall next to him, too hard that it leaves his fingers bleeding.
"are you out of your mind?", Yoongi's eyes terrorize with the red colour dripping from the younger's hand.
But Namjoon doesn't react. He stares at the wound, "Don't worry, he can heal it"
Jungkook glares at the researcher, as he grips his bleeding fingers with his other hand.

A minute passes by
There's Seokjin, Hoseok and Jimin hurriedly entering the room after hearing the smash on the wall.
All of them stare at Jungkook's injury.
Waiting for the bleeding to stop
"Fuck it's not working", Jungkook curses as he forces to hold his injured hand tightly.

"Fuck it's not working", Jungkook curses as he forces to hold his injured hand tightly.
"It doesn't take this much time", Hoseok mentions on the side, sounding concerned.
Jungkook cries out in pain, as he rubs his fingers against the wound. But it doesn't vanish. It doesn't go away like it used to.
And then there's everyone gawping at Namjoon.
Jungkook cries out in pain, as he rubs his fingers against the wound. But it doesn't vanish. It doesn't go away like it used to.
And then there's everyone gawping at Namjoon.
Namjoon's eyes are stuck at the wound. Its just a little wear and tear on the knuckles of all the four fingers.
A common man would cover it with bandages and let it heal on its own.
But Jungkook isn't common.
The researcher sighs. It's a sigh of relief. But only he knows that.

He closes his eyes before remarking,
"Jin hyung, give him some first aid and don't let him go anywhere"
Jungkook wants to hide. Why is it not working. The only useful thing he has is not working.
"I'm gonna go check on Taehyung", Namjoon says before taking his leave.

🩹🩹🩹
Namjoon finds Taehyung in the terrace garden. He is sitting on the bench, lost in his thoughts.
In this way, Taehyung looks common too. Not like a prince. Or hell, a cursed prince. Just a human being.
"Hyung", the younger waves when he sees Namjoon coming his way.

"hey, aren't you sitting too close", Taehyung raises a brow.
Namjoon is sitting on the same bench as Taehyung. There's still a lot of distance between them.
"I'm good unless I don't touch you", Namjoon answers shrugging his shoulder.
Taehyung doesn't say anything to it.

Taehyung doesn't say anything to it.
He stares at the sky with his moon and stars. It's a little warm outside. Feels nice to sit and relax.
It's true, nobody gets hurt if he doesn't touch them. But Taehyung has always maintained a good social distance with everyone. Except for Jungkook.
"Do you love him?"
It's true, nobody gets hurt if he doesn't touch them. But Taehyung has always maintained a good social distance with everyone. Except for Jungkook.
"Do you love him?"
Taehyung won't lie, he's a little taken aback for a moment, but the moon is so pretty tonight.
"Is it that obvious?", He asks in return.
"I'm an observer", Namjoon answers. His voice is playful.
Taehyung nods. His second friend, is a researcher after all.
"Is it that obvious?", He asks in return.
"I'm an observer", Namjoon answers. His voice is playful.
Taehyung nods. His second friend, is a researcher after all.
They sit there in tranquil. Namjoon notices there are flowers blooming around the terrace garden.
It's already spring. And they are sitting outside, enjoying a nice spring day.
"Why?", Namjoon questions.
Taehyung turns to face his friend.
"Why what?"
"Why do you love him?"
It's already spring. And they are sitting outside, enjoying a nice spring day.
"Why?", Namjoon questions.
Taehyung turns to face his friend.
"Why what?"
"Why do you love him?"
"Is it because he can touch you?"
The prince can see, maybe Namjoon's voice is soft and playful, his eyes aren't joking. They are reading each and every thing.
Taehyung smiles. It's true. He loves when Jungkook touches him. Makes tiny circles around his body. He likes it.

"People hated me. They judged me so easily. Weren't you the one to restrict comments on my posts?"
Namjoon nods. He even deleted some horrendous comments. Translated a few into nice ones.
"I'm sure Jin hyung, Hoseok hyung, Yoongi hyung hesitated to be my friend"
Namjoon nods. He even deleted some horrendous comments. Translated a few into nice ones.
"I'm sure Jin hyung, Hoseok hyung, Yoongi hyung hesitated to be my friend"
Namjoon frowns.
"It's not a bad thing. To hesitate for someone like me. They are one of the most amazing people i have ever met. But you get the point"
Namjoon does. He has known Taehyung for roughly eight years. He's probably the most humble and humane of them all.

Namjoon does. He has known Taehyung for roughly eight years. He's probably the most humble and humane of them all.
"But you know hyung", Taehyung is staring at the sky.
"Jungkook doesn't care about anything"
Namjoon blinks. Does Taehyung know? About Jungkook's condition? Of not feeling anything.
"He's like the moon. It will always shine bright. No matter how dark it is"
"Jungkook doesn't care about anything"
Namjoon blinks. Does Taehyung know? About Jungkook's condition? Of not feeling anything.
"He's like the moon. It will always shine bright. No matter how dark it is"
"You know his eyes shine but just for me. I thought i was being deluded but it's true",there's Taehyung pointing at the moon.
Namjoon observed it already. Long time ago.
"He accepted me without hesitation hyung", Taehyung turned to look at the elder, "I guess I'm just like him"
Namjoon observed it already. Long time ago.
"He accepted me without hesitation hyung", Taehyung turned to look at the elder, "I guess I'm just like him"
"And don't ever ask me to ignore him. I don't like it" Taehyung pouts, "I never say no to your experiments.. i know you care for me too..."
Too. He cares too. That means someone else also cares.
Namjoon knows more than what Taehyung could say. It was a trick question of 'why'.

Namjoon knows more than what Taehyung could say. It was a trick question of 'why'.
"What was there in those texts?", Namjoon asks.
If Taehyung knows about the deal, he is acting too chill for it. But Namjoon wants to confirm.
Taehyung sits straight, his hands clasped together.
"I'd like to discuss that matter with my husband first"
Namjoon smiles. "Sure"

Namjoon looks at the sky too. There's a moon, shining brightly. That's right. But a Sun always shows up in the morning.
When it's not dark.
"Hey tae", Namjoon contemplates.
"Hm?"
"What if you get free from your curse or whatever it is?"
Taehyung looks at his hands. Tempting.

Taehyung looks at his hands. Tempting.
To get away from this curse. He wishes. He's always been a people's person. So he wished for this a lot of times.
"What will be the first thing you'd do?" , Namjoon adds on.
Oh Taehyung has an answer already. He has thought for this moment. A lot of times too.

"I'll tell appa he's dying but not because of me"
Namjoon whips his face towards Taehyung. Wait, how much does Taehyung actually knows.
"You knew?" He asks.
"Three doctors suddenly living in palace. I knew he is not doing well"

Namjoon whips his face towards Taehyung. Wait, how much does Taehyung actually knows.
"You knew?" He asks.
"Three doctors suddenly living in palace. I knew he is not doing well"
"But hyung i haven't touched my father since I was five. If he is dying it's on his own"
Taehyung doesn't play a role. If he didn't touch his father, then he has nothing to get blamed for.
"He locked me in the palace thinking I'm the reason for everything bad. His illness"
Taehyung doesn't play a role. If he didn't touch his father, then he has nothing to get blamed for.
"He locked me in the palace thinking I'm the reason for everything bad. His illness"
"And when his condition wasn't improving... he married me to Jungkook.", The younger hides his face in his palms,
"I don't want to imagine if Jungkook was an asshole like him. Who doesn't have any emotions for his own goddamn son"
Namjoon breaks every sentence of Taehyung.
"I don't want to imagine if Jungkook was an asshole like him. Who doesn't have any emotions for his own goddamn son"
Namjoon breaks every sentence of Taehyung.
If Namjoon is not wrong. Taehyung doesn't know about the deal. He knows about his father's illness. But nothing more.
He doesn't know Jungkook doesn't feel any emotions too.
Good. He shouldn't find it right now.
Or else, it would be a huge failure.
He doesn't know Jungkook doesn't feel any emotions too.
Good. He shouldn't find it right now.
Or else, it would be a huge failure.
"he probably thought sending me far away would cure him"
Namjoon doesn't utter a word. He listens to Taehyung letting it all out.
"But I'm glad I'm married to Jungkook. At least he's there for me"
"At least he loves me with all my scars", Taehyung looks at the stars in sky.
Namjoon doesn't utter a word. He listens to Taehyung letting it all out.
"But I'm glad I'm married to Jungkook. At least he's there for me"
"At least he loves me with all my scars", Taehyung looks at the stars in sky.
Taehyung remembers when Jungkook said, if Taehyung is the sky then his scars are like the constellation.
But what Namjoon couldn't skip is the word 'love', Taehyung just used in his sentence.
Jungkook. Love. They don't sit on the same table. Or at least used to.
But what Namjoon couldn't skip is the word 'love', Taehyung just used in his sentence.
Jungkook. Love. They don't sit on the same table. Or at least used to.
In conclusion, Taehyung doesn't know about the deal. That's a good sign.
Namjoon looks forward. There might be some changes in plan for now.
Now that he looks forward there's a silhouette of a man standing in the corner.
He can see Jungkook's pout.
"I'll catch you later tae"

Namjoon takes a leave, also signing Taehyung that his husband is waiting.
Taehyung returns Namjoon with a smile and a nod.
The researcher stands up, taking a leave as he brushes past Jungkook, intentionally.
Jungkook turns around to glare at him but the elder is long gone.

Taehyung laughs at Namjoon's antics. He lets out soft giggles.
It catches Jungkook's attention as he brings his focus to the front again.
Jungkook musters courage to at least stand in front of Taehyung. But loses the next moment.

There's his Taehyung, moonlight dawning on his face. Jungkook lets out a dreamy sigh. Wait, why was he here?
The moon makes Taehyung's golden skin shine more. He looks so beautiful. Ethereal. Like a moon goddess.
"Is my appa threatening you?"
Jungkook's mouth remains agape.

Jungkook's mouth remains agape.
He was here to talk. With no idea what Taehyung's father had texted him.
"It's not like that", Jungkook claims, looking at the floor. His voice is not at all confident.
"Wait", Taehyung's eyes look at Jungkook's hand, "why are you wearing bandages?"
The younger feel dumb.

"Wait", Taehyung's eyes look at Jungkook's hand, "why are you wearing bandages?"
The younger feel dumb.
"Come here", Taehyung says, patting the seat next to him.
Taehyung sounds worried. And if Jungkook wasn't giving him a hard time already, he is adding more to it.
That's the last thing the CEO wanted to do.
He simply follows Taehyung's command.

Jungkook gulps, when Taehyung gently holds his hand.
He looks puzzled. He raises a brow at Jungkook but the younger was busy in taking Taehyung's warm hold.
Why would Jungkook need bandages. He can heal himself.
"How?", Taehyung demands.
"Punched the wall", he whispers.

"Punched the wall", he whispers.
Taehyung hisses hearing it.
"Dumbass", Taehyung says as he starts slowly peeling the bandage off Jungkook's fingers.
"I'm sorry", Jungkook says. Genuine.
"There's nothing here", Taehyung raises a brow again as he finds no wound on Jungkook's skin.

Jungkook looks bewildered as he looks at his fingers.
There's nothing there. It vanished. Like it used to.
"It must have gotten healed", Jungkook whispers. A little confused too.
But there's Taehyung looking at him, raising a brow again.
There's nothing there. It vanished. Like it used to.

But there's Taehyung looking at him, raising a brow again.
"I swear it was there", Jungkook's voice is high pitched, "but now it's gone"
Taehyung folds his hand in front. He gives a little nod.
"I believe you"
Jungkook looks down again, at his fingers. His wound was really there. He pouts.
"What did he say in the texts?"
Taehyung folds his hand in front. He gives a little nod.
"I believe you"
Jungkook looks down again, at his fingers. His wound was really there. He pouts.
"What did he say in the texts?"
Jungkook hopes it's not about his condition. He's not ready to tell Taehyung right now. He will tell him. But just not now.
Taehyung visibly gulps,"That you faked a car accident and called paparazzi on us"
Jungkook looks up. He faces Taehyung with wide eyes,"Tae i can explain".
Taehyung visibly gulps,"That you faked a car accident and called paparazzi on us"
Jungkook looks up. He faces Taehyung with wide eyes,"Tae i can explain".
And Taehyung notices in those wide eyes, there's a shine, only reserved for him.
"Then explain"
Jungkook lets out a huge exhalation of relief. He hides his face in his palm for a moment, rubbing his forehead.
"I-it was a publicity stunt",
Taehyung looks doubtful.
"Then explain"
Jungkook lets out a huge exhalation of relief. He hides his face in his palm for a moment, rubbing his forehead.

Jungkook finally feels a little less anxious, he thought Taehyung wouldn't even look at his face.
And Namjoon had ordered everyone to not let him go out.
Only he knows how much inner turmoil he went through.
"You know people kept talking about our marriage. And then- it's"
And Namjoon had ordered everyone to not let him go out.

"people were sending you hate just because you married me..I didn't like it"
Jungkook doesn't know how to explain. This is tough.
"I faked an accident for people to think you are bad. Then posted I'm fine even after the accident. And then i let the world know, there's no curse+
Jungkook doesn't know how to explain. This is tough.
"I faked an accident for people to think you are bad. Then posted I'm fine even after the accident. And then i let the world know, there's no curse+
+because in those media pictures you were holding my hand. And i was still fine"
Taehyung looks confused rather than angry at all.
"I- it's reverse psychology Tae. I'm a businessman, i sometimes take it to the next level. But the hate. It stopped, right?"
Taehyung looks confused rather than angry at all.
"I- it's reverse psychology Tae. I'm a businessman, i sometimes take it to the next level. But the hate. It stopped, right?"
"At least to some extent. And then your winter bear channel. People actually saw how fucking amazing you are and are loving you for yourself. I'm so glad that-", Jungkook's eyes meet Taehyung's.
He lets out a sigh, "I'm sorry Tae", Jungkook whispers now,
"I should have told you"
He lets out a sigh, "I'm sorry Tae", Jungkook whispers now,
"I should have told you"
Taehyung's face remains unamused.
If he thinks in that perspective. It's true. He stopped receiving hate comments. He's not even addressed as the cursed prince that often by the media.
But only a genius will figure this out.
"Okay" the elder mutters.

"Okay" the elder mutters.
Jungkook is drawing circles on the bench, as he speaks in the frown,
"And I should apologise for not telling you before going to the US. That wasn't very husband-nim of me"
"I'm sorry",
Taehyung hums. He's not angry at all. He just wants to know what Jungkook has to say.
"And I should apologise for not telling you before going to the US. That wasn't very husband-nim of me"
"I'm sorry",
Taehyung hums. He's not angry at all. He just wants to know what Jungkook has to say.
They sit in silence for a few moments.
Jungkook doesn't dare to look up. But Taehyung's eyes remain focused on the patterns Jungkook is drawing.
"And what about the articles today?"
Jungkook blinks. Fuck he totally forgot about them.
"Tae, they are fake"
Jungkook doesn't dare to look up. But Taehyung's eyes remain focused on the patterns Jungkook is drawing.

Jungkook blinks. Fuck he totally forgot about them.
"Tae, they are fake"
"The pictures got leaked and you know it's so easy to create rumours. But I'm just greeting that woman. There's nothing else at all. I promise"
Taehyung nods again, "okay"
"don't just say okay", Jungkook deadpans."I don't even look at anyone except you. Tae you-"
He gets cut.
Taehyung nods again, "okay"
"don't just say okay", Jungkook deadpans."I don't even look at anyone except you. Tae you-"
He gets cut.
"why did appa leak those pictures then?"
Jungkook pauses. What's he supposed to say. Because Jungkook ignored him and threatened him first to break the deal?
"Your dad probably hates me", Jungkook chooses to say.
It's not a lie. But a half truth.
Jungkook pauses. What's he supposed to say. Because Jungkook ignored him and threatened him first to break the deal?
"Your dad probably hates me", Jungkook chooses to say.
It's not a lie. But a half truth.
But Taehyung seems to believe it.
And that's where Jungkook's heart skips a beat.
"Fine", Taehyung says, sliding his hands in pocket and returning Jungkook his phone, "i trust you"
Taehyung trusts him. And his half truth.
"But is there anything else you are hiding?"
And that's where Jungkook's heart skips a beat.
"Fine", Taehyung says, sliding his hands in pocket and returning Jungkook his phone, "i trust you"
Taehyung trusts him. And his half truth.
"But is there anything else you are hiding?"
Is this a chance of redemption? Jungkook thinks. Should he tell Taehyung the complete truth.
Today, his ears are working fine. And they seem to hear his screaming heart perfectly well.
"No" Jungkook whispers and Taehyung notices a sudden want in his eyes.
"Alright"
Today, his ears are working fine. And they seem to hear his screaming heart perfectly well.
"No" Jungkook whispers and Taehyung notices a sudden want in his eyes.
"Alright"
"But are you still mad at me?", Jungkook points out, how Taehyung and him are sitting with a lot of distance.
"No. I was never mad at you", Taehyung says politely. "But... "
"but?"
"Now that I'm thinking",
"you are the only one who can touch me but... anyone can touch you"
"No. I was never mad at you", Taehyung says politely. "But... "
"but?"
"Now that I'm thinking",
"you are the only one who can touch me but... anyone can touch you"
Jungkook's heart sinks at that. How could he let Taehyung think like this.
"Who cares if it's me or anyone els-"
"Taehyung no. Fuck. I could never let", Jungkook shifts closer, reaching to hold Taehyung's hand.
"I have never dated in my whole life, Tae"
"Who cares if it's me or anyone els-"
"Taehyung no. Fuck. I could never let", Jungkook shifts closer, reaching to hold Taehyung's hand.
"I have never dated in my whole life, Tae"
He brings Taehyung's hand near his face. "It's you or it's no-one", the younger kisses the palm of Taehyung's long slender hand.
"I don't want a choice, Tae. It's only you or nobody else"
Jungkook feels nice saying a complete truth. And he feels nice in Taehyung's warmth.
"I don't want a choice, Tae. It's only you or nobody else"
Jungkook feels nice saying a complete truth. And he feels nice in Taehyung's warmth.
Taehyung's heart is beating fast. He feels the butterflies too. He wet his lips for a moment,
"Then promise me Jungkook",
Taehyung feels nervous asking for this, but he needs to know.
Needs a sign before he confesses.
"Promise me we will be together for a long time"
"Then promise me Jungkook",
Taehyung feels nervous asking for this, but he needs to know.

Since Jungkook can hear his heart scream today. He wants to follow it. For once. He wants to know what his heart desires.
"Always Taehyung", Jungkook kisses his hand again, "i promise"
And Jungkook notices how Taehyung's face glows brighter now, and looks more relieved.
"Always Taehyung", Jungkook kisses his hand again, "i promise"
And Jungkook notices how Taehyung's face glows brighter now, and looks more relieved.
It's a nice spring day. Two husbands had a small fight. Or was it even a fight? Just communication.
Taehyung and Jungkook never fight.
The flowers in the terrace garden dance with the warm wind. The wind ruffles Taehyung's hair that makes Jungkook giggle.
"Let's go?"
Taehyung and Jungkook never fight.

Jungkook nods. They leave the garden hand in hand, and Jungkook even draws tiny circles on his favourite surface.
Tomorrow the sun shall rise again. But for now, the sky has stars and moons.
At least the moon will have its stars with it for a long time. Shining.

Namjoon never knew a day like this would come. It's horrible. Nobody should go through something like this. The researcher feels awful today. Today, when his own friends snitched on him.
Namjoon stares at two men right in front of him. His sighs. It's indeed a dark day today.

"Will you talk now?", Yoongi says in an impassive tone.
"I really didn't think- you guys. I mean you guys? Why will you kidnap your amazing friend like this?"
They get it. Namjoon can be very cute. But definitely not the right moment.
"Talk or I'll order a lot of sea food"
"I really didn't think- you guys. I mean you guys? Why will you kidnap your amazing friend like this?"
They get it. Namjoon can be very cute. But definitely not the right moment.
"Talk or I'll order a lot of sea food"
Namjoon stops whatever he was about to say. And Jungkook knew his threat would work. The CEO knows how to play dirty sometimes. And for the researcher, it's definitely the little ocean creatures.
They wait for him to speak. Everybody knows Namjoon has been up to something.
They wait for him to speak. Everybody knows Namjoon has been up to something.
He has been locked inside his little lab in the mansion. He works there, eats there and hell sometimes sleeps there too. And whatever he's been working on, it's obviously related to Taehyung and Jungkook.
"Hey Jungkook-ah", Namjoon points at Jungkook in front, "your hand".
"Hey Jungkook-ah", Namjoon points at Jungkook in front, "your hand".
Even Yoongi stares with a puzzled look. It's healed. Like it used to.
"It's gone", Yoongi whispers.
Jungkook gives a casual look,
"And Joon Hyung knows why it took so much time to vanish", his voice has some annoyance in it.
The researcher slightly smirks. Then nods.

Jungkook gives a casual look,

The researcher slightly smirks. Then nods.
Usually Jungkook's wound would heal the moment he touches himself. But this time. It was absurd. The injury took his time to heal. Even bandages were used. But it still vanished.
And that's one of the reasons why Jungkook and Yoongi dragged the researcher out of his den.
And that's one of the reasons why Jungkook and Yoongi dragged the researcher out of his den.
There's a moment of silence. When Namjoon contemplates. And Jungkook and Yoongi wait for him.
"Fine. I'll talk", Namjoon lays back on his seat. "But for that, I need Jungkook to get out."
Jungkook blinks. What did he just hear.
"I'm not going out", his voice stern and clear.
"Fine. I'll talk", Namjoon lays back on his seat. "But for that, I need Jungkook to get out."
Jungkook blinks. What did he just hear.
"I'm not going out", his voice stern and clear.
"Jungkook you can't know right now", Namjoon looks like he knows what he's doing.
"But it's about me. I deserve to know", the youngest argues.
"Yeah? Then so does Taehyung. Should I go and tell him everything?"
It hits the spot. Jungkook hisses, smashing the door as he leaves.
"But it's about me. I deserve to know", the youngest argues.
"Yeah? Then so does Taehyung. Should I go and tell him everything?"
It hits the spot. Jungkook hisses, smashing the door as he leaves.
The room is completely filled with silence. The two roommates share a look of understanding.
Yoongi gets why he wanted Jungkook to not be here.
Namjoon, too, wants someone to hear him out. He too, needs to let his thoughts out.
And Yoongi is the best person for it.

And Yoongi is the best person for it.
"I may have messed up the calculations before", Namjoon puckers both of his lips at that.
For Namjoon, it's just a research in the unknown. For Yoongi, it's playing with the lives of people he would die for.
"What", the elder stands up, his eyes ready to fill with rage.
For Namjoon, it's just a research in the unknown. For Yoongi, it's playing with the lives of people he would die for.
"What", the elder stands up, his eyes ready to fill with rage.
Namjoon lets out a breathy sigh, a little tensed with the revelation, "listen as much as they are invested in this.. I'm too",
Yoongi scoffs.
"But before I make any remarks. I need more details, hyung. And you have to help me"
The elder closes his eyes. This is messy already.
Yoongi scoffs.
"But before I make any remarks. I need more details, hyung. And you have to help me"
The elder closes his eyes. This is messy already.
Yoongi sits on his seat again. What else can he do. Other than helping the helpless.
"What do you want", he looks in the researcher's eyes.
"He cried for Taehyung's song. You saw him crying after years, hyung"
Yoongi sits forward. Jungkook never cried. Until that day.
"What do you want", he looks in the researcher's eyes.
"He cried for Taehyung's song. You saw him crying after years, hyung"
Yoongi sits forward. Jungkook never cried. Until that day.
"Later, i purposefully riled him. Said mean things to him. His eyes were bubbling with anger, hyung", Namjoon is stating facts here.
Yoongi nods. He has seen that look. Even for a second, he saw anger in Jungkook's eyes.
Yoongi nods. He has seen that look. Even for a second, he saw anger in Jungkook's eyes.
"At the office, once, i told him Taehyung deserves better. He was so ready to kick me out of the office"
"I told him he has to leave Taehyung eventually just before his flight",
Even Yoongi's mouth remains agape. That's mean.
"That's why he was so cranky during the flight?"
"I told him he has to leave Taehyung eventually just before his flight",
Even Yoongi's mouth remains agape. That's mean.
"That's why he was so cranky during the flight?"
Namjoon nods, "Nowadays, he sleeps a lot too"
"He didn't sleep at all until Taehyung texted him in the flight. And then slept for thirteen hours straight. We thought he just needed rest"
"His body is reacting, hyung. Not just physically but emotionally too"
"He didn't sleep at all until Taehyung texted him in the flight. And then slept for thirteen hours straight. We thought he just needed rest"
"His body is reacting, hyung. Not just physically but emotionally too"
Yoongi has observed it. Even Jungkook slacks at work. He comes home early. He goes late. And all because of Taehyung.
Jungkook wasn't like that before. These are not the signs of an emotionless, indifferent human.
His body is indeed reacting differently.
"Is that a bad thing?"
Jungkook wasn't like that before. These are not the signs of an emotionless, indifferent human.
His body is indeed reacting differently.
"Is that a bad thing?"
Namjoon doesn't answer the question right away. He doesn't have one true answer.
"He is slowly showing his emotions, hyung. Is that a bad thing?", He chooses to say.
"But it must be costing him something"
The researcher closes his eyes. There it is. His answer.
"He is slowly showing his emotions, hyung. Is that a bad thing?", He chooses to say.
"But it must be costing him something"
The researcher closes his eyes. There it is. His answer.
"Today his hand took time to heal. That's another physical sign"
Yoongi gulps.
"Say it clearly Namjoon"
The researcher breaks it all in,
"I have been calculating their heartbeats in every check up. And to my surprise, Jungkook shows another physical sign there"
Yoongi gulps.
"Say it clearly Namjoon"
The researcher breaks it all in,
"I have been calculating their heartbeats in every check up. And to my surprise, Jungkook shows another physical sign there"
Yoongi clasps his hand. He can't identify what Namjoon is thinking, he feels restless.
"Not only does his heartbeat increase from time to time. His heart's rhythm has been changing too"
Yoongi raises a brow.
"Everybody has their own heartbeat. The thumping. And for Jungkook"
"Not only does his heartbeat increase from time to time. His heart's rhythm has been changing too"
Yoongi raises a brow.
"Everybody has their own heartbeat. The thumping. And for Jungkook"
Namjoon sighs and Yoongi shifts in his seat, when he hears the younger talk,
"Jungkook's heartbeat is changing and trying to match with Taehyung's"
Yoongi doesn't know what to do with this information. He looks perplexed.
"Jungkook's heartbeat is changing and trying to match with Taehyung's"
Yoongi doesn't know what to do with this information. He looks perplexed.
"And if my calculus is strong, their heartbeats will match in less than two weeks"
Having the same sound of hearts? That sounds like soulmates or true lovers. Not like an arranged marriage couple.
"The moment their heart beats match, the curse will be transferred"
"Completely"
Having the same sound of hearts? That sounds like soulmates or true lovers. Not like an arranged marriage couple.
"The moment their heart beats match, the curse will be transferred"
"Completely"
Yoongi rubs his face in his palms. In two weeks, Taehyung will be free from his curse, right? In two weeks, Jungkook would be able to heal anyone.
"Fuck", the elder curses, "That's such a great news", he lets out a sigh of relief.
"It's not", Namjoon hisses, "it's not"
"Fuck", the elder curses, "That's such a great news", he lets out a sigh of relief.
"It's not", Namjoon hisses, "it's not"
It's not good news. That's the toughest part. That's where Namjoon messed up his calculations.
"What do you mean", Yoongi crinkles, not buying anything more.
"These physical signs. Taehyung was supposed to face them. Not Jungkook. But it didn't work like that at all"
"What do you mean", Yoongi crinkles, not buying anything more.
"These physical signs. Taehyung was supposed to face them. Not Jungkook. But it didn't work like that at all"
"Namjoon, stop. Please." Yoongi hisses, "This is not a joke anymore. Stop making it complicated"
The younger nods. He knows it's tough. And figuring it out was tougher, hours of calculations and observations to reach a theoretical answer. It's complicated enough.
The younger nods. He knows it's tough. And figuring it out was tougher, hours of calculations and observations to reach a theoretical answer. It's complicated enough.
"Hear me out. Remember what the deal was? Taehyung's curse was supposed to transfer on Jungkook. Taehyung would get free from his curse and Jungkook would be able to heal anyone, plus save the king"
"Yes. That is the plan", Yoongi deadpans.
"Yes. That is the plan", Yoongi deadpans.
namjoon stands up, as he tries to explain, "So, in conclusion both Taehyung and Jungkook cancel each other's effect"
Yoongi nods. Yes. That's the reason the deal was proposed in the first place.
"But i missed a very big possibility", Namjoon claims now.
Yoongi nods. Yes. That's the reason the deal was proposed in the first place.
"But i missed a very big possibility", Namjoon claims now.
"What if Jungkook's curse gets transferred to Taehyung?"
The younger sounds smug, rather proud as he moves forward with his theory.
"In both ways, their effect cancels each other. But the outcomes are completely different"
Yoongi wants to throw a fit at him.

Yoongi wants to throw a fit at him.
"it's like there's good in bad but there's bad in good too"
"Namjoon, don't fucking shakespeare in between",
"Okay, okay. So as I was saying, it wasn't by Shakespeare though, but, if Taehyung's curse was getting transferred to Jungkook"
"Namjoon, don't fucking shakespeare in between",
"Okay, okay. So as I was saying, it wasn't by Shakespeare though, but, if Taehyung's curse was getting transferred to Jungkook"
"his heartbeat would have matched Jungkook's. And then, Jungkook would have been able to get the power to heal everyone with his touch"
"But that's not happening", Namjoon pouts.
"Then what the fuck is happening?"
"Jungkook's heartbeat is matching Taehyung's."
"But that's not happening", Namjoon pouts.
"Then what the fuck is happening?"
"Jungkook's heartbeat is matching Taehyung's."
"And if I'm not wrong, Jungkook's curse will get transferred to Taehyung. And with, Taehyung will be able to heal himself, and not hurt anyone with his touch"
Yoongi sinks in his chair.
"In the first case, Taehyung was getting benefited by lifting his curse"
"But in this case"
Yoongi sinks in his chair.
"In the first case, Taehyung was getting benefited by lifting his curse"
"But in this case"
"Jungkook is getting benefited by feeling his emotions"
Namjoon is smiling to himself. Like he was holding himself back to not reveal anything for long. But it's out. All of his efforts for the past few weeks, are all out.
"You asked me what it would cost, Jungkook, right?"
Namjoon is smiling to himself. Like he was holding himself back to not reveal anything for long. But it's out. All of his efforts for the past few weeks, are all out.
"You asked me what it would cost, Jungkook, right?"
"It will cost him his power to heal himself"
"It will cost his own curse of healing himself, to feel all the emotions"
Yoongi closes his eyes. All those months, whatever they thought, it won't happen.
"But we can't tell this to Jungkook right now. Or anyone else per se"
"It will cost his own curse of healing himself, to feel all the emotions"
Yoongi closes his eyes. All those months, whatever they thought, it won't happen.
"But we can't tell this to Jungkook right now. Or anyone else per se"
Yoongi nods, as Namjoon continues,
"Jungkook is still not completely open with his emotions. He suppressed them, even lied to me. We need him to open his heart to those emotions"
"It's not easy for someone who stopped feeling anything at a tender age of ten", Yoongi defends.
"Jungkook is still not completely open with his emotions. He suppressed them, even lied to me. We need him to open his heart to those emotions"
"It's not easy for someone who stopped feeling anything at a tender age of ten", Yoongi defends.
And Namjoon only smiles, "I know. I get it. That's why if we tell him, he would stop it all once. He's a little reckless these days. And he got a long way, I mean, he needs to feel love, once, right?"
Yoongi looks up at Namjoon.
Taehyung.
Will he ever be able to love that boy?
Yoongi looks up at Namjoon.
Taehyung.
Will he ever be able to love that boy?
"And for Taehyung. He knows his father is dying" Namjoon comments.
"What?"
"Yeah.. but i don't think he knows anything else apart from that. About Jungkook or the deal"
"What about the deal?"
Namjoon hums, "it can't happen. Jungkook will never be able to heal someone"
"What?"
"Yeah.. but i don't think he knows anything else apart from that. About Jungkook or the deal"
"What about the deal?"
Namjoon hums, "it can't happen. Jungkook will never be able to heal someone"
"or himself", Yoongi adds.
"That's right", Namjoon shows a thumbs up.
"What about the king? He will-"
Namjoon was quick to answer, "who cares" but then he stops, the king is dying, "i mean it wasn't my concern in the research so..."
Yoongi nods. Who cares indeed.
"That's right", Namjoon shows a thumbs up.
"What about the king? He will-"
Namjoon was quick to answer, "who cares" but then he stops, the king is dying, "i mean it wasn't my concern in the research so..."
Yoongi nods. Who cares indeed.
"Two weeks?", Yoongi confirms.
Two weeks and Taehyung will be able to touch everyone and Jungkook, well, he would be able to feel his emotions.
It's still a win-win.
"Two weeks and I'll tell them about all of this. Even Taehyung too", Yoongi claims.
Two weeks and Taehyung will be able to touch everyone and Jungkook, well, he would be able to feel his emotions.
It's still a win-win.
"Two weeks and I'll tell them about all of this. Even Taehyung too", Yoongi claims.
"Taehyung confessed to me he loves him", Namjoon's voice sounds serious.
If they solved one problem. There's a whole another chapter left to be discovered. And it even looks painful.
"And before all of this, i still need to check up with Taehyung."
Yoongi raises a brow.
If they solved one problem. There's a whole another chapter left to be discovered. And it even looks painful.
"And before all of this, i still need to check up with Taehyung."
Yoongi raises a brow.
"If Jungkook's healing slowed down. That only means, Taehyung's touch shouldn't hurt someone that much.. like earlier his touch burned but with you, it was just a minor surgery. His touch's effect should decrease"
"And for that, I'll have to make Taehyung touch someone"
"And for that, I'll have to make Taehyung touch someone"
"He's gonna get hurt, already Namjoon-ah", Yoongi answers, his voice concerned,
"And if he touches another person and they get hurt. It will break him.."
Namjoon wonders, how Taehyung is still losing something. Or maybe, he wins everything.
"He has no choice", Namjoon claims.
"And if he touches another person and they get hurt. It will break him.."
Namjoon wonders, how Taehyung is still losing something. Or maybe, he wins everything.
"He has no choice", Namjoon claims.
Yoongi sighs. At one point, it all makes sense. But on another, it's a messy sad story where someone always loses something.
Jungkook will lose his power but when Taehyung finds out about his lies, the deal, Yoongi doesn't even want to imagine.
"What do we do now?", He asks.
Jungkook will lose his power but when Taehyung finds out about his lies, the deal, Yoongi doesn't even want to imagine.
"What do we do now?", He asks.
Namjoon knows what needs to be done. If Yoongi can think of the worst, Namjoon has always focused on finding things that are best for them.
"For the starters, rile Jungkook as much as you can. Irk him. Annoy him. Tell him Taehyung is not his. Let him know what he will lose"
"For the starters, rile Jungkook as much as you can. Irk him. Annoy him. Tell him Taehyung is not his. Let him know what he will lose"
Yoongi has always been defending Jungkook. When as a kid, he would not share his things, or doesn't care if someone felt bad for his behaviour.
In the office too, sometimes he wouldn't care if someone requires a leave, or if they work too much just like him.
But it's different.
In the office too, sometimes he wouldn't care if someone requires a leave, or if they work too much just like him.
But it's different.
It's different when Jungkook's eyes shine bright for Taehyung. When he talks to him, talk about him or hell even look at him.
So maybe, he'll realise his feelings too. And Yoongi hopes, he does it before those two weeks.
Before Taehyung finds out about his lies.
So maybe, he'll realise his feelings too. And Yoongi hopes, he does it before those two weeks.

-A/n: The whole purpose of this convo was to show how both of them actually care about taekook but one has a practical approach while the other is emotionally invested :)

"I seriously think, we should sing a song together and post it", Taehyung suggests, with his eyes filled with expectations.
Jimin scoffs jokingly, "Sure Taehyung. But what are you working on right now?"He looks excited to know.

Jimin scoffs jokingly, "Sure Taehyung. But what are you working on right now?"He looks excited to know.
"No Jiminie. I'm not kidding.. we should release one song together"
Jimin gives in. If his best friend wants it, Jimin will try his best to get it.
"Yeah? I'll participate only if the song is about us", the elder crosses his hand in front.
Taehyung's eyes lit up hearing it.
Jimin gives in. If his best friend wants it, Jimin will try his best to get it.
"Yeah? I'll participate only if the song is about us", the elder crosses his hand in front.
Taehyung's eyes lit up hearing it.
"we can write a song about our friendship?" the prince ideates.
"And maybe about your little fingers"
Jimin chuckles, throwing his head back, "what?", He looks at his tiny fingers, "then maybe I'll tell everyone about our dumpling incident"
It's Taehyung's turn to laugh.
"And maybe about your little fingers"
Jimin chuckles, throwing his head back, "what?", He looks at his tiny fingers, "then maybe I'll tell everyone about our dumpling incident"
It's Taehyung's turn to laugh.
They share so many fond memories together. Even though they stand with a lot of distance, for most of his life, Jimin was the closest person to Taehyung. And vice versa.
"Well you are my soulmate after all", Taehyung shrugs.
"And you are my alien", Jimin whispers.
"Well you are my soulmate after all", Taehyung shrugs.
"And you are my alien", Jimin whispers.
Little Jiminie was so curious to know why he wasn't allowed to touch Tae. And little Taehyungie smiled at him, the same boxy one he shows now, "eomma said i come from a far and beautiful planet. So nobody should touch me"
"Then that makes you an alien", Little Jiminie was smart.
"Then that makes you an alien", Little Jiminie was smart.
"alien?", Taehyung has pouted,
"Yeah, so pretty. I want to be an alien too. Will you take me to your planet?"
So many summers and winters have passed by then. So many promises and memories have been made. They are still the same. Just like Jimin's little finger.
"Yeah, so pretty. I want to be an alien too. Will you take me to your planet?"
So many summers and winters have passed by then. So many promises and memories have been made. They are still the same. Just like Jimin's little finger.
"Hey Jiminie? You will stay by my side, right?", Taehyung asks out of nowhere.
Maybe he was hit with nostalgia too.
"Remember, we promised not to hide anything from each other"
Jimin's mouth remains agape. He tries to hide the surprise with a little smile. But then he gulps.
Maybe he was hit with nostalgia too.
"Remember, we promised not to hide anything from each other"
Jimin's mouth remains agape. He tries to hide the surprise with a little smile. But then he gulps.
"So, are you releasing a new song, soon?", Jimin avoids. He avoids the question. He avoids Taehyung's eyes.
Because if he looks at them, he won't be able to hold back. He has never lied to his best friend. He can't lie now.
Taehyung hums. "I'm working on a lot of things"
Because if he looks at them, he won't be able to hold back. He has never lied to his best friend. He can't lie now.
Taehyung hums. "I'm working on a lot of things"
Jimin genuinely smiles. He knows how much Taehyung loves music. Always had, since he was a kid. Plus, he is naturally gifted in the field.
"Yeah?Like what?"
"You know our sixth month anniversary is coming in like two weeks?", Taehyung sounds excited.
Two weeks.
"Yeah?Like what?"
"You know our sixth month anniversary is coming in like two weeks?", Taehyung sounds excited.
Two weeks.
"oh" six month anniversary?"
Six months.
That's the time doctors said too.
The king got six months too.
And if it's about to be six months to their marriage.
"So what are you planning, Mr. Winter bear?", Jimin teases.
"A new song for your husband?"
Six months.
That's the time doctors said too.
The king got six months too.
And if it's about to be six months to their marriage.
"So what are you planning, Mr. Winter bear?", Jimin teases.
"A new song for your husband?"
Taehyung pouts, "i want to",
Jimin notices how distracted Taehyung sounds. How, too much in his dreams, Taehyung looks.
Jimin smiles fondly, but his heart feels graver, as he takes a step forward.
"But i am stuck at the lyrics, Mimi", Taehyung voices his worry.

"But i am stuck at the lyrics, Mimi", Taehyung voices his worry.
"oh?", Jimin halts but Taehyung starts speaking again.
"You know, I'm just not getting the motivation to complete that song. Maybe a writer's block?"
Taehyung sounds like he is in his thoughts too much. Not caring about his surroundings.
Jimin feels his heartbeat heavier.

Jimin feels his heartbeat heavier.
"I really want to write my feelings through it. But i feel like, Jungkook is hidi-"
Jimin takes his chances
"What did you do?"Taehyung takes a step back, caught off-guard. His eyes widened.
Jimin looks at his own hand,"Sorry Tae, i didn't notice i was standing so close to you"
Jimin takes his chances
"What did you do?"Taehyung takes a step back, caught off-guard. His eyes widened.
Jimin looks at his own hand,"Sorry Tae, i didn't notice i was standing so close to you"
Their fingers brushed for a mild second. Those pinky fingers, touched again for a little while. Just a soft dab of a touch.
But Taehyung touched someone.
Not just someone, but his best friend.
Yet again.
The cursed prince touched someone.
But Taehyung touched someone.
Not just someone, but his best friend.
Yet again.
The cursed prince touched someone.
They both stare at Jimin's hand. The tiny finger that brushed.
What will happen to it.
"Look Tae. Nothing happened till now?",Even Jimin sounds unsure and confused, as he takes a step forward again
Last time when Taehyung accidentally touched his abdomen, it burned instantly.
What will happen to it.
"Look Tae. Nothing happened till now?",Even Jimin sounds unsure and confused, as he takes a step forward again
Last time when Taehyung accidentally touched his abdomen, it burned instantly.
But Jimin is not feeling anything in his hand. It feels normal. Just like before.
But Taehyung is already miles away from Jimin. He's standing at the corner of his recording room. Only staring at Jimin's hand with dread.
Jimin takes a breath. He needs to calm down too.

Jimin takes a breath. He needs to calm down too.
"Remember Tae? What did I tell you? Nevermind the burn. Nevermind the pain. Nevermind the people? I'll always choose you, my soulmate", Jimin smiles, trying to get Taehyung out of his alert senses.
The burn was covered with the Nevermind Tattoo. It's so easy to hide the pain.
The burn was covered with the Nevermind Tattoo. It's so easy to hide the pain.
"I'm gonna call Namjoon hyung, now. Okay? Please stay here", Jimin directs.
Taehyung nods, but he never blinks once. His eyes remain stuck to Jimin's hand. The little pinky finger. He never wanted to turn that into a bad memory.
"Please stay here for me too, Tae" Jimin leaves.
Taehyung nods, but he never blinks once. His eyes remain stuck to Jimin's hand. The little pinky finger. He never wanted to turn that into a bad memory.

"He's okay"
Taehyung didn't notice when Jungkook entered the recording room.
He didn't notice when he came and stood up right in front of him.
He couldn't care less when the CEO took his shivering hands in his own warm hold.
"Jimin hyung is okay"

He couldn't care less when the CEO took his shivering hands in his own warm hold.
"Jimin hyung is okay"
The prince looks frantic. He is stuck to the wall, as he waits for Jimin.
He didn't move an inch after that. Nor did he blink at all.
How could he be so careless again.
How could he hurt his own best friend again.
"Jimin hyung is doing fine", Jungkook kisses Taehyung's fingers.
He didn't move an inch after that. Nor did he blink at all.
How could he be so careless again.
How could he hurt his own best friend again.
"Jimin hyung is doing fine", Jungkook kisses Taehyung's fingers.
Jimin told Taehyung to wait for him. Why is he not coming back. Taehyung's eyes linger at the place where Jimin was standing a few minutes ago. Showing up his hand touched by the cursed prince.
"You're okay too", Jungkook kisses the top of another finger. Lightly sucks on them.
"You're okay too", Jungkook kisses the top of another finger. Lightly sucks on them.
"It was just a little accident, baby"
The CEO kisses each and every part of Taehyung's hand that shivers in his hold.
"Nobody's hurt", he whispers soft encouragement to the elder.
Jungkook doesn't even want to imagine what Taehyung must be going through right now.

Jungkook doesn't even want to imagine what Taehyung must be going through right now.
How much Taehyung must be hating himself right now. Jungkook's blood boils.
So he kisses them. Everything that Taehyung would hate about himself, Jungkook kisses it.
He even kisses the little pinky finger. The one that just touched his Mimi.
Jungkook kisses all his pain.
So he kisses them. Everything that Taehyung would hate about himself, Jungkook kisses it.
He even kisses the little pinky finger. The one that just touched his Mimi.
Jungkook kisses all his pain.
Taehyung drops himself on the ground when he feels his fifth finger tingle with Jungkook's wet lips.
He takes rest with the wall, catching up with his heavy breathing. Taehyung blinks again and again, like he just woke up from a nightmare.
"Where's Jimin", he whispers

"Where's Jimin", he whispers
Namjoon had told Jungkook everything the moment he entered the mansion. He had directly run to Taehyung.
And finding him here like this, Jungkook's heart clenches, as he too, knees down on the ground.
"He's outside", Jungkook moves closer,
"He's didn't get hurt"
And finding him here like this, Jungkook's heart clenches, as he too, knees down on the ground.
"He's outside", Jungkook moves closer,
"He's didn't get hurt"
Taehyung gulps. He doesn't know how genuine Jungkook sounds, he just wants to hide.
Shut all the doors and never open them. Like he did eight years ago.
"Burned", Taehyung's voice breaks,
"Last time" he closes his eyes, not wanting to remember it, "it burnt him"
Shut all the doors and never open them. Like he did eight years ago.
"Burned", Taehyung's voice breaks,
"Last time" he closes his eyes, not wanting to remember it, "it burnt him"
Jungkook can hear his increasing heartbeat. It's too clear in the soundproof recording room.
"I don't want to hurt him again, Jungkook", Taehyung sobs.
And I don't want to hurt you. Jungkook wants to tell this to the world.
So he does that. Follow his heart.
"I don't want to hurt him again, Jungkook", Taehyung sobs.
And I don't want to hurt you. Jungkook wants to tell this to the world.
So he does that. Follow his heart.
Jungkook takes Taehyung's hand in his own and places it right about on the left side of his chest.
The CEO can feel his husband is still panic stricken. Frantic until his bones.
"Tae, look at me", Jungkook politely commands.
"Look at me baby"

He notices how Taehyung wipes his head towards him. Still on high alert with commands.
His eyes look alarmed but glossy. Like he is trying to hold his tears.
"Baby, can you feel my heartbeat?", Jungkook questions, rubbing a soft circle on Taehyung's hand resting on his chest.

"Baby, can you feel my heartbeat?", Jungkook questions, rubbing a soft circle on Taehyung's hand resting on his chest.
Taehyung nods. His hand is right above it. The slow yet paced rhythm.
"I want you to focus on me", Jungkook instructs me as gently as possible,
"Breathe with me, now"
Taehyung can feel under his touch when Jungkook's chest expands. When it contracts.
He tries to follow it.

Taehyung can feel under his touch when Jungkook's chest expands. When it contracts.
He tries to follow it.
Steady breaths and soothing rhythm. Taehyung lets a tear fall.
And then there's Jungkook's carefully chosen tender words.
"My heart is pounding, tonight", Jungkook claims, himself feeling the paced beats.
Taehyung's eyes remain stuck on Jungkook. He can feel his breath back.

Taehyung's eyes remain stuck on Jungkook. He can feel his breath back.
He can feel Jungkook's heartbeat right through him. For now, he focuses on Jungkook. His words. His sounds. His breaths.
"Sometimes I feel you are too good to be true" he even focuses on how genuine Jungkook looks right now.
"So beautiful. So perfect"
"But I'm a wrecked ship"
"Sometimes I feel you are too good to be true" he even focuses on how genuine Jungkook looks right now.
"So beautiful. So perfect"
"But I'm a wrecked ship"
Taehyung blinks. He tries to capture Jungkook's words in his mind.
"And you're the farthest shore in the sea"
"Still I keep wanting to reach to you. No matter, how tired I am. I still want you"
Jungkook can feel Taehyung's hands geting warmer under his hold.
"And you're the farthest shore in the sea"
"Still I keep wanting to reach to you. No matter, how tired I am. I still want you"
Jungkook can feel Taehyung's hands geting warmer under his hold.
"because you're worth everything",
Jungkook confesses.
But the ship is wrecked, Taehyung notes. Broken. Destroyed. And he's too far away.
Taehyung gulps. He seems to be out of his trans now. The prince, bites his lower lips, thinking the meaning behind Jungkook's words.

"Jimin hyung wants to see you", the younger softly drops, and Taehyung closes his eyes for a moment.
"He didn't get burnt. He is not hurt", Jungkook softly clutches Taehyung's hand, trying to convey again what he has been saying since the beginning.
Taehyung nods.

Taehyung nods.
He feels drained. Doens't seem to believe Jungkook at all. But he nods. What else can he do?Accept and move on?
"Let's go?", Jungkook suggests.
But when Taehyung doesn't move, he promises, "I'll be right next to you"
Next to him.Physically.
He then helps Taehyung to stand up.

Taehyung is peaking from behind Jungkook.
There's Jimin lying on the bed. Yoongi is right next to him. His best friend is not sleeping. Oh wait now he's lightly punching Yoongi.
But there's an ice pack on his forehead.
Taehyung gulps.

But there's an ice pack on his forehead.
Taehyung gulps.
"don't worry, Tae", Jungkook says in the front, as he kisses their intertwined hands.
Taehyung follows Jungkook as they enter inside Jimin's room.
"Oh Tae's here", hobi smiles when he sees the couple enter.
All of them were gathered in the same room, and now have eyes on them.

Taehyung hides himself behind Jungkook again. He doesn't want to hurt anyone else.
But Jimin jumps when he hears Hoseok claiming his best friend is here.
"Taehyung-ah", Jimin sits on the bed, making the ice pack fall from his forehead.
He sounds excited to see him. Somehow.

Taehyung dares to look above. There's a fond smile on Jimin's face.
Taehyung closes his eyes as he feels tears brimming inside.
And then there's Jungkook pushing him in the front, to make him face his best friend. But he keeps a steady hand on the prince's waist.

The CEO, then starts making his signature circles on Taehyung's waist to comfort him.
Taehyung lets those tears out. Finally.
He rubs his eyes, pouting, when Jin cooes,"You made my bub cry",
Even Yoongi smiles a little when Taehyung puffs, saying,
"He's alright Taehyung-ah",

"Yeah Tae. It's just a fever", Namjoon comments. He's the only one all smiles in the room. Proud of himself.
Taehyung opens his blurry eyes, but he can make out that Jimin is staring at him.
"Hello, soulmate", Jimin snickers but his voice sounds like he is about to cry too.

And then Jimin is showing his pinky finger to Taehyung. It looks normal. Just like before. There's no burn. Jimin is alright.
Taehyung lets out a breath he didn't know he was holding, falling backwards. He knows Jungkook is there to catch him.
"So tiny", Yoongi remarks.
Taehyung lets out a breath he didn't know he was holding, falling backwards. He knows Jungkook is there to catch him.
"So tiny", Yoongi remarks.
"Do you want to get punched again?", Jimin gives a pissed look to Yoongi on the side.
It makes everyone chuckle a bit. Yoongi and Jimin have always been like this. Old married couple. They might bicker, but that's how they show love.
And always too kind to others.

"Don't worry, Taehyung", Namjoon takes all the attention, "I run a few check-ups and it's just a regular fever", he looks at Jimin, "Just one or two days, he'll be fine"
Taehyung nods, when Jimin mutters an "I'm okay", only to him.
"But"
Taehyung's heart sinks again.

"Compared to Yoongi hyung's injury and today, your touch didn't inflict much pain"
Everybody's eyes are on Taehyung. Except Jungkook and Yoongi. They stare at Namjoon.
Namjoon smiles when he notices both of them looking at him. It's funny.
A little chaotic.

"what do you mean", Taehyung asks, and he touches his own hands.
This is the chaotic part. Both Yoongi and Jungkook are giving a sharp look to Namjoon.
And the researcher has two options. Either he could tell Taehyung the truth.
Right now. Right away.
This is the chaotic part. Both Yoongi and Jungkook are giving a sharp look to Namjoon.
And the researcher has two options. Either he could tell Taehyung the truth.
Right now. Right away.
The truth that Yoongi knows. One where, Jungkook loses his ability to heal himself.
Or he can tell the plan that Jungkook knows. One where, he will absorb Taehyung's curse, to heal everyone with his touch.
But the risk is, it will bring up the topic of Jungkook's emotions.

The room looks tense.
If Namjoon takes the risk, the hands on Taehyung's waist might have to let go. And there's still two weeks left for their curses to transfer.
The risk isn't worth it right now.
But Namjoon's eyes meet up with Yoongi.

Emotions.
If he tells Taehyung right now, maybe he won't get hurt too much like he will later on.
Maybe, the result would change. If Taehyung knows about Jungkook's emotions, maybe something would change.
Even thinking about this, gives Namjoon an adrenaline rush.

The researcher swears, if he had a lot of Taehyungs and Jungkooks, he'd do one experiment every day. Find out million possibilities. Bet on them.
And then provide the best outcome to this Taehyung and Jungkook.
But who's he kidding. He is already playing with them like this.

"what he meant is, the two times you touched me, it burnt and now I got a fever", Jimin doesn't wait for Namjoon to answer.
He brings up his own observation.
Everybody now looks at Jimin. Even Namjoon.
"So for me, maybe it's always related to heat?"
"Because I'm too hot?"
He brings up his own observation.

There's Hoseok making faces, "c'mon Jimin-ah, that lame?"
"man, i think you need rest", Jin comments jokingly.
"Yeah. He should rest", Namjoon smiles.
"Hey?", Jimin whines, " i was called as sexy chimchim in my school"
Even Jungkook chortles at that."Sexy chim chim, really?"

Taehyung smiles, "so hot, soulmate", he whispers,
"See? Only Tae knows how to channelise my inner energy", Jimin brushes his fingers through his hair.
"Okay, guys let sexy chim chim rest now", Yoongi remarks obviously with sarcasm.
Jimin grunts at his boyfriend.

Jimin grunts at his boyfriend.
"Yeah guys, let Jimin rest" Jin says pushing Hoseok and Namjoon outside of the room.
It leaves both the couple in the room.
"I love you Minnie", Taehyung pouts as he confesses to his best friend.
"Love you too, Taetae", Jimin shoots heart gun at him.

Taehyung turns to face Jungkook, noticing his reaction.
But the CEO is too busy changing Jimin's contact name from "jimin-ssi" to "sexy chim chim",
A tight lipped smile forms on Taehyung's face
Taehyung pushes Jungkook's hand away from his waist to intertwine them, "let's go?"

Taehyung pushes Jungkook's hand away from his waist to intertwine them, "let's go?"
Jungkook is quick to close his phone and keep it in his pocket, as he murmurs soft good nights and rests well to Jimin and Yoongi.
He is then, softly tugging Taehyung outside of room. They go hand in hand upstairs, until they reach Taehyung's bedroom.
"I'll go change?"

Jungkook asks, "and then we can sleep?"
Taehyung smiles, giving him a nod.
"Okay", he whispers.
"Also, thank you for today", Taehyung shifts from one leg to another.
"I was so scared but if it wasn't for you.. I would have- it's just",
"Your heartbeat is very comforting"
Taehyung smiles, giving him a nod.
"Okay", he whispers.
"Also, thank you for today", Taehyung shifts from one leg to another.
"I was so scared but if it wasn't for you.. I would have- it's just",

Jungkook shifts closer, his bunny teeth already peaking. Taehyung wets his lips when Jungkook joins their foreheads together.
They are so close like this. Taehyung wants to feel Jungkook's lips on his.
But the younger, doesn't dare to move.
"You keep pulling me closer, tae"

Jungkook whispers. And then he takes a big breath, releasing it all over Taehyung's face.
"I'll be back", Jungkook says stepping back to change his clothes and come back to Taehyung's room.
But the prince stands there. And would it be alright if he pulled him closer and closer?

They both stare at each other. Not at all sleepy. The elder keeps running his fingers through Jungkook's hair carelessly.
"Did you cry?", The CEO asks.
And Taehyung knows what he's referring to. The moment he entered the mansion. There were eyes on him. Eyes full of pity.
"Did you cry?", The CEO asks.
And Taehyung knows what he's referring to. The moment he entered the mansion. There were eyes on him. Eyes full of pity.
He has been getting those looks for a week. From the people in the palace, in those condolences tweets.
Even though, the hyungs know the prince didn't share any lovely relations with his father.
But losing a family member is not an easy time. It's hard.

But losing a family member is not an easy time. It's hard.
He gets why the hyungs showered him with kind words. Appreciates it.
But right now, it's Jungkook in front of him. He has no pity in his eyes.
Rather, there's a silver lining of care.
Stars that only appear for Taehyung.
And everytime, the prince gets lost in those stars.

"Appa wasn't a good person", Taehyung mumbles. And Jungkook shifts closer.
"He thought hiding me would solve all his problems"
Jungkook read the message from the late king.
"But it was only solving his problems", the prince sighs, still carding through Jungkook's hair.

"You're not a problem, hyung", Jungkook pouts.
Taehyung scoffs lightly. His eyes turn into crescents, as he bites back a smile.
It's so easy to get fooled.
"He gave up his will to live for my happiness. It's so selfish of him"
Jungkook gulps. Is it selfish of selfless.

"Does that make him a bad person?", The CEO asks.
Taehyung's hand shifts down on Jungkook's cheeks. He notices, how Jungkook has very soft and round facial features. He looks like someone who would give up everything to get what he wants.
But so softly you wouldn't know.

"It doesn't make him a bad person"
"But not a good person either",
Jungkook nuzzles in Taehyung's hand that stars caressing his cheek.
"Putting on a mask. That's not good", Taehyung settles to say.
His appa kept himself masked. No matter what he felt,+
"But not a good person either",
Jungkook nuzzles in Taehyung's hand that stars caressing his cheek.
"Putting on a mask. That's not good", Taehyung settles to say.
His appa kept himself masked. No matter what he felt,+
He had masked himself as the king. And the king only. He died of the death of the king. Not a father.
"In that case, I'm not a good person either", Jungkook's tone is hushed.
Taehyung stops moving his thumb on his cheek for a moment.
"Why Jungkook-ah? Are you hiding something?"
"In that case, I'm not a good person either", Jungkook's tone is hushed.
Taehyung stops moving his thumb on his cheek for a moment.
"Why Jungkook-ah? Are you hiding something?"
A last chance. Taehyung promised to give a last chance to himself.
"Aren't we all living and dying at the same time, hyung?"
Taehyung's mouth remains agape. He feels his breath getting heavier.
But Jungkook's voice is so soft. So fucking soft.
"And if i die hyung"
"Aren't we all living and dying at the same time, hyung?"
Taehyung's mouth remains agape. He feels his breath getting heavier.
But Jungkook's voice is so soft. So fucking soft.
"And if i die hyung"
"I want to die caring for them. But if i live Tae.. I don't ever want to hurt them"
Jungkook's voice doesn't waver. Even if he needs to wear a mask, even if he needs to hide, not be a good person. He can't risk removing that mask.
After all, he had promised Taehyung.

After all, he had promised Taehyung.
He had promised Taehyung that day, on the terrace.
"He will stay by Taehyung for a long time",
Even if he needs to wear a mask for that.
Taehyung lets out a shaky breath. A sad smile forms on his face. He starts caressing Jungkook's cheek again.
That was his last resort.

"But you are not a bad person", Jungkook claims.
Taehyung laughs. It's funny how Jungkook is always there with his tiny reassurances.
"You know I had this dream again", Taehyung changes the topic smoothly.

Taehyung laughs. It's funny how Jungkook is always there with his tiny reassurances.
"You know I had this dream again", Taehyung changes the topic smoothly.
Jungkook's eyes turn intriguing. He holds Taehyung's waist.
"Which? The one you thought was funny but it wasn't funny"
Taehyung smiles. Jungkook remembers. "Yeah", his own eyes shimmer s little.
"The one where the queen had everything but still seems sad"
"Which? The one you thought was funny but it wasn't funny"
Taehyung smiles. Jungkook remembers. "Yeah", his own eyes shimmer s little.
"The one where the queen had everything but still seems sad"
"i figured why she was so sad and it's still so funny", Taehyung licks his lips.
"Why was she sad?", Jungkook questions.
"She had everything",Taehyung directly looks in Jungkook's eyes, "but not a heart"
Jungkook blinks. He lost the humour part. It rather sounds like a riddle.
"Why was she sad?", Jungkook questions.

Jungkook blinks. He lost the humour part. It rather sounds like a riddle.
"How's that funny Taehyung?", Jungkook pouts.
Not having a heart. Is it not similar to not having any emotions. Or is Jungkook diving it in too much.
"Is it not?", Taehyung smirks, flicking Jungkook's chin with his finger.
The CEO gives him a blank look. It's not. Not at all.

And then there's Taehyung's rigorous attempt to tickle Jungkook, making him burst out laughing.
Adorable. Taehyung thinks.
Stupid. Taehyung fooled himself again.

Jungkook doesn't stop chortling, tossing on the bed as his husband tickles him
"What", he laughs, as he finally gets a hold of Taehyung's hands, "is this a king behaviour? Yeah?"
"Oh c'mon I'm not a king yet"
"But you'll be one soon",
"What", he laughs, as he finally gets a hold of Taehyung's hands, "is this a king behaviour? Yeah?"
"Oh c'mon I'm not a king yet"
"But you'll be one soon",
"The province works fine under the government. I'm just taking over the title and the palace", Taehyung reasons, attempting to get his hands out of Jungkook's hold.
"Oh yeah?", and it's Jungkook's time to smirk as he sits up on the bed,
"Then I'm gonna tickle attack your palace"
"Oh yeah?", and it's Jungkook's time to smirk as he sits up on the bed,
"Then I'm gonna tickle attack your palace"
Taehyung is under Jungkook. He's laughing. So much, that Jungkook can see that boxy smile after days.
So fucking much, that Jungkook can also see little tears forming around his eyes.
Jungkook stops laying right next to Taehyung again.
"God, I haven't been tickled in years"
So fucking much, that Jungkook can also see little tears forming around his eyes.
Jungkook stops laying right next to Taehyung again.
"God, I haven't been tickled in years"
"would you like that again",
"NO", Taehyung shouts when he feels Jungkook's hand on his waist again.
But the younger only pulls him in closer. So much, that there's so less distance between them.
"Don't get away from me. I don't like that", the CEO whines.
"Yeah?"
"NO", Taehyung shouts when he feels Jungkook's hand on his waist again.
But the younger only pulls him in closer. So much, that there's so less distance between them.
"Don't get away from me. I don't like that", the CEO whines.
"Yeah?"
Taehyung shifts in closer, he keeps a hand around Jungkook's torso too.
"Tomorrow is our sixth month anniversary, Jungkookie"
Jungkook nods. He remembers. He can't believe it's been six months already. So much has happened, yet so much has yet to happen.
But only one thing.
"Tomorrow is our sixth month anniversary, Jungkookie"
Jungkook nods. He remembers. He can't believe it's been six months already. So much has happened, yet so much has yet to happen.
But only one thing.
Only one thing reels back to Jungkook's mind. He had promised Taehyung to stay by his side. And he doesn't want to be the one to break it.
"I have a surprise planned for you", Taehyung whispers, his eyes still twinkling with tears. Because of the tickling.
"I have a surprise planned for you", Taehyung whispers, his eyes still twinkling with tears. Because of the tickling.
"for me?", Jungkook's tone gets pitched, "is it the one you told me about when we went to the concert?"
Yes, it's that one.Taehyung finally completed it. He nods.
"What is it?",Jungkook sounds so excited.
"Find it out tomorrow husband-nim"
Taehyung laughs when Jungkook pouts.
Yes, it's that one.Taehyung finally completed it. He nods.

Jungkook can't believe it's been six months since they met.
"You always wanted me to give you a special performance, right?"
Six months that sometimes feels like six years yet at the same time six seconds. And both aren't enough for Jungkook.
"Tae, no way"
"You always wanted me to give you a special performance, right?"
Six months that sometimes feels like six years yet at the same time six seconds. And both aren't enough for Jungkook.
"Tae, no way"
Jungkook bites his lips when Taehyung just smiles.
He can't believe it's been six months and he got to marry a beautiful soul like Taehyung.
"So...", Taehyung swings in his chair,
"I wrote a little song for you", he whispers.
"Taehyung...",Jungkook whines.

He remembers requesting his husband to play something only for Jungkook. But a special song?
He can't believe it's been six months and Jungkook had found his lucky charm.
"But"
Jungkook looks up, he knows his cheeks are red already but Taehyung's next statement isn't helping.

"how could I inspire you?", Jungkook whispers but more to himself.
But the prince is right in front of him. And there's no one but them. He hears the younger clearly.
"Remember when Jimin touched me, what you said that day... It struck me"
What did he say?
But the prince is right in front of him. And there's no one but them. He hears the younger clearly.
"Remember when Jimin touched me, what you said that day... It struck me"
What did he say?
He mentioned a wrecked ship. A too far away shore.
Jungkook sighs. Trying to take it all in.
He can't believe his dear husband wrote a song for him. And only him.
"What's it called?", Jungkook questions softly, when he finds Taehyung already on his piano.

Jungkook walks to stand near Taehyung's piano. He doesn't want to miss one beat of the song.
After all, he can't believe it's been six months and there's so much more to go.
Taehyung smiles at Jungkook. It's not the boxy one, but a tight lipped smile.
"It's called sweet night"
After all, he can't believe it's been six months and there's so much more to go.
Taehyung smiles at Jungkook. It's not the boxy one, but a tight lipped smile.
"It's called sweet night"
Jungkook doesn't know when the song ends. When Taehyung's piano stops playing. He doesn't know when Taehyung is looking at him.
His voice. It's like a blanket on every wound that Jungkook ever healed on himself. It's so serene, so deep, that you would lose yourself to yourself.
His voice. It's like a blanket on every wound that Jungkook ever healed on himself. It's so serene, so deep, that you would lose yourself to yourself.
It's so soft yet intriguing that you would want to question everything. And then his voice would also become the answer to your everything.
And the lyrics? But the lyrics.
Jungkook's mouth remains agape.
The lyrics.
Jungkook inspired him to write this song.
And the lyrics? But the lyrics.
Jungkook's mouth remains agape.
The lyrics.
Jungkook inspired him to write this song.
The lyrics are about him. And if it's not, then the lyrics are about them.
After all, it was a surprise on their sixth month anniversary.
"𝘚𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘺 𝘧𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘪𝘭𝘦 𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘵𝘩
𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘐 𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘩𝘰𝘱𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘰𝘳 𝘪𝘴 𝘰𝘱𝘦𝘯"
It's about Taehyung too.
After all, it was a surprise on their sixth month anniversary.
"𝘚𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘺 𝘧𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘪𝘭𝘦 𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘵𝘩
𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘐 𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘩𝘰𝘱𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘰𝘳 𝘪𝘴 𝘰𝘱𝘦𝘯"
It's about Taehyung too.
His truth, that he shares with Jungkook today.
"𝘕𝘰𝘸 𝘮𝘺 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳'𝘴 𝘧𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘥𝘰𝘸𝘯
𝘞𝘰𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶'𝘥 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘮𝘦 𝘯𝘰𝘸"
Taehyung wonders if Jungkook would want him now. Now that, his forever falls down.
"𝘕𝘰𝘸 𝘮𝘺 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳'𝘴 𝘧𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘥𝘰𝘸𝘯
𝘞𝘰𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶'𝘥 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘮𝘦 𝘯𝘰𝘸"
Taehyung wonders if Jungkook would want him now. Now that, his forever falls down.
A forever? Isn't a forever like a promise? But it's falling down. It's breaking. The promise isn't for forever.
"𝘈𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘮𝘺 𝘣𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘧𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘥
𝘍𝘦𝘦𝘭'𝘴 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘢 𝘳𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘳'𝘴 𝘳𝘶𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 𝘮𝘺 𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘥",
Friend? No. They can't be friends.
"𝘈𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘮𝘺 𝘣𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘧𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘥
𝘍𝘦𝘦𝘭'𝘴 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘢 𝘳𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘳'𝘴 𝘳𝘶𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 𝘮𝘺 𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘥",
Friend? No. They can't be friends.
Then what are they? If not friends. The marriage was arranged. Even if they are husbands on the paper, what are they right now?
When they cuddle. Kiss. Hold each other's hand. Daily. Jungkook doesn't think friends do that.
"𝘐𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶 a𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘰𝘰 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘦"
When they cuddle. Kiss. Hold each other's hand. Daily. Jungkook doesn't think friends do that.
"𝘐𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶 a𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘰𝘰 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘦"
The CEO remembers, telling Taehyung he's too good to be true. But now, with the song. Taehyung is calling him too good to be true.
It's an ironic statement. Too good that it doesn't exist. But Jungkook exists.
He's right there. Who would Taehyung call out like that?
It's an ironic statement. Too good that it doesn't exist. But Jungkook exists.
He's right there. Who would Taehyung call out like that?
Because what If, Taehyung is not calling out him? But, his mask.
"𝘈𝘯𝘥 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘪𝘵 𝘣𝘦 𝘢𝘭𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘪𝘧 𝘐 𝘗𝘶𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘦𝘳?"
If Taehyung pulls Jungkook closer, he'd have to remove his mask. It won't be alright. That way, his baby bear will get hurt.
"𝘈𝘯𝘥 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘪𝘵 𝘣𝘦 𝘢𝘭𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘪𝘧 𝘐 𝘗𝘶𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘦𝘳?"
If Taehyung pulls Jungkook closer, he'd have to remove his mask. It won't be alright. That way, his baby bear will get hurt.

Jungkook called himself a wrecked ship.

Jungkook called himself a wrecked ship.
And the shore was too far away from him.
They are ships in the night. They are those ships and Jungkook is wrecked.
But Taehyung claims, one ship reached the shore. The one that woke up with feeling more.
And Jungkook can't feel anything.
They are ships in the night. They are those ships and Jungkook is wrecked.
But Taehyung claims, one ship reached the shore. The one that woke up with feeling more.
And Jungkook can't feel anything.
Jungkook closes his eyes when those lyrics repeat themselves again in the end. It's a message that Taehyung gave through those lyrics.
The prince reached the shore. And Jungkook didn't. The one who could feel reaches the destination. And the other, stays wrecked, too far away.
The prince reached the shore. And Jungkook didn't. The one who could feel reaches the destination. And the other, stays wrecked, too far away.
The song ended a long time ago.
"Tae", Jungkook whispers.
There's Taehyung now, standing right in front of him. He looks alright. It's Jungkook who looks restless here. Sinking. Like a weak, wrecked boat.
Taehyung wrote this song for him.
"Why is the song sad?"
"Tae", Jungkook whispers.
There's Taehyung now, standing right in front of him. He looks alright. It's Jungkook who looks restless here. Sinking. Like a weak, wrecked boat.
Taehyung wrote this song for him.
"Why is the song sad?"
Taehyung doesn't answer Jungkook's question. Because his silence is the only answer Jungkook needs.
Feeling more.
"Tae", Jungkook bites his lips. He is staring at Taehyung. His Taehyung. His husband.
His Taehyung that feels more.
And Jungkook doesn't.
Feeling more.
"Tae", Jungkook bites his lips. He is staring at Taehyung. His Taehyung. His husband.
His Taehyung that feels more.
And Jungkook doesn't.
"I love you",it was a mere hush. Taehyung's eyes don't waver from Jungkook.
It was just a soft hushed tone only meant for Jungkook to hear.
And he heard him. So clearly. Like the still water in the ocean.
But a wrecked ship is useless. It only submerges into his own misery.
It was just a soft hushed tone only meant for Jungkook to hear.
And he heard him. So clearly. Like the still water in the ocean.
But a wrecked ship is useless. It only submerges into his own misery.
He can't believe it's been six months and Taehyung loves him. His Taehyung loves him. His Taehyung that he met due to a lame arranged marriage actually loves him.
Jungkook's heartbeat. He can feel it.
"Tae I-", he stutters,"I-"
"Can't say it back?", Taehyung completes for him.
Jungkook's heartbeat. He can feel it.

How could Taehyung not fall in love? When everybody was scared to touch the cursed prince, someone held his hand. When everyone thought he'd bring bad luck, someone was courageous enough to marry him.
"Tae, please", Jungkook's voice breaks.

How could Taehyung not fall in love? When everybody was scared to touch the cursed prince, someone held his hand. When everyone thought he'd bring bad luck, someone was courageous enough to marry him.
"Tae, please", Jungkook's voice breaks.
Jungkook takes a step ahead when he notices Taehyung's eyes are shining. It's not because of the usual moonlight. But because he's crying. And the reason, is none other than Jungkook himself.
"I knew you couldn't say it back", Taehyung's voice doesn't waver but it's soft.
"I knew you couldn't say it back", Taehyung's voice doesn't waver but it's soft.
So soft. That it sips in Jungkook's ear and strikes it directly in his heart.
"I didn't want to hurt you", Jungkook takes a step ahead but halts when the elder turns his face away from him.
Taehyung looks outside. Where the moon is. So bright. But alone.
"I didn't want to hurt you", Jungkook takes a step ahead but halts when the elder turns his face away from him.
Taehyung looks outside. Where the moon is. So bright. But alone.
How could he not fall for Jungkook? The boy who wasn't scared of showing Taehyung to the world and the world to Taehyung. And right by his side.
Taehyung sniffles. He doesn't face Jungkook when he asks the next question,
"Was it just a deal to you?"
Taehyung sniffles. He doesn't face Jungkook when he asks the next question,
"Was it just a deal to you?"
Everything has a breaking point. No matter how strong it could be, apply enough pressure, it will break.
Jungkook breaks. This wasn't how he was supposed to find out. No. No. No.
The CEO runs towards Taehyung, just wanting to hold him again.
"Tae. No. Please. I'm-"
Jungkook breaks. This wasn't how he was supposed to find out. No. No. No.
The CEO runs towards Taehyung, just wanting to hold him again.
"Tae. No. Please. I'm-"
And how could Taehyung not fall for Jungkook? His adorable muscle bunny who could break things but holds Taehyung's hands like it's the most priced possession.
Taehyung doesn't look at him when Jungkook tries to form words. He doesn't look at him when he holds his hands.
Taehyung doesn't look at him when Jungkook tries to form words. He doesn't look at him when he holds his hands.
Because if he does, if he turns to his front, even for a second; He'll fool himself again.And he can't let that happen. Not anymore.
Never.
"Tae. It's not. Deal. I don't", Jungkook is frowning, "I'm- it's not. I'm",
It's on his tips. Right on the tongue. But he can't.
Never.
"Tae. It's not. Deal. I don't", Jungkook is frowning, "I'm- it's not. I'm",
It's on his tips. Right on the tongue. But he can't.
He can't say it. He can't let it out. He feels like someone is choking him.
Taehyung knows about the deal. And if he knows about the deal, he must have known Jungkook can't feel anything.
And Jungkook can't hide.
He can't hide anything anymore.
His Taehyung is already hurt.
Taehyung knows about the deal. And if he knows about the deal, he must have known Jungkook can't feel anything.
And Jungkook can't hide.
He can't hide anything anymore.
His Taehyung is already hurt.
"Does that make you a bad person?", Taehyung questions.
Isn't Taehyung trying to reason it? Good in the bad. Bad in the good.
"Tae, I'm not a good person", Jungkook whispers.
And how could Taehyung not fall for him? Even if Jungkook had lied, his eyes only shine for Taehyung.
Isn't Taehyung trying to reason it? Good in the bad. Bad in the good.
"Tae, I'm not a good person", Jungkook whispers.
And how could Taehyung not fall for him? Even if Jungkook had lied, his eyes only shine for Taehyung.
"Why?", Taehyung closes his eyes. He can't hear it. He doesn't want to.
But Jungkook can't hide it anymore. His mask. It fell down. Long time ago.
"Because I can't feel anything", Jungkook lets out a sigh.
That's his truth. His curse. That he desperately wanted to hide.
But Jungkook can't hide it anymore. His mask. It fell down. Long time ago.
"Because I can't feel anything", Jungkook lets out a sigh.
That's his truth. His curse. That he desperately wanted to hide.
Taehyung retrieves his hand back from Jungkook's hold. The younger lets him.
A tear drops down the prince's cheek. He didn't want to hear it. He gave so many chances to Jungkook, to tell him. Tell him everything but he was never ready to hear it.
"Today's the day"
A tear drops down the prince's cheek. He didn't want to hear it. He gave so many chances to Jungkook, to tell him. Tell him everything but he was never ready to hear it.
"Today's the day"
Jungkook feels naked. Like someone has ripped all his clothes. He wants to hide. But there's no place to hide. The only home he had, is now, standing in front of him. Hurt.
Today's the day. They were supposed to celebrate. Their sixth month anniversary. He was so excited.
Today's the day. They were supposed to celebrate. Their sixth month anniversary. He was so excited.
"The curse or whatever it is.. will be transferred today", Taehyung claims. His voice is still soft. But bold.
Jungkook feels breathless. He already feels like someone is choking him.
But he didn't know the curse was supposed to get transferred today.
Jungkook looks up.
Jungkook feels breathless. He already feels like someone is choking him.
But he didn't know the curse was supposed to get transferred today.
Jungkook looks up.
Taehyung's eyes are watery but they are on him. Like he is soaking in Jungkook's presence for one more last time.
Today's the day of their anniversary. And the transfer of their curse.
"The curse will be transferred", Taehyung whispers.
It was part of the deal.
Today's the day of their anniversary. And the transfer of their curse.
"The curse will be transferred", Taehyung whispers.
It was part of the deal.
The deal where Jungkook will get Taehyung's curse and will be able to heal others.
But now he realises, now that Jungkook looks at the tear slowly falling down from his cheek, it's a deal where Jungkook will get Taehyung's curse and break his heart.
It's not a nice deal.
But now he realises, now that Jungkook looks at the tear slowly falling down from his cheek, it's a deal where Jungkook will get Taehyung's curse and break his heart.
It's not a nice deal.
"Tae", Jungkook doesn't even know if he should ask for it. Plead for Taehyung to listen.
"Can we-"
"The curse will be transferred. But from you to me. Not me to you"
Jungkook blinks. If someone was choking him, now they are slitting. Slitting Jungkook's heart.
"Can we-"
"The curse will be transferred. But from you to me. Not me to you"
Jungkook blinks. If someone was choking him, now they are slitting. Slitting Jungkook's heart.
Thats right. The curse is getting transferred from Jungkook to Taehyung. And not the other way around.
That's what Yoongi and Namjoon talked about. When they had asked Jungkook to get out. That's what Namjoon told Yoongi.
And now Taehyung is telling the same thing to Jungkook.
That's what Yoongi and Namjoon talked about. When they had asked Jungkook to get out. That's what Namjoon told Yoongi.
And now Taehyung is telling the same thing to Jungkook.
"Tae, what does that mean",Jungkook looks frantic. Hurdled. Scared even.
He tries to grasp something in the air, maybe for Taehyung.
That stands right in front of him. But feel too far away.
Taehyung gulps. He hides his face in his palm for a moment, wiping any tear that falls.

Taehyung gulps. He hides his face in his palm for a moment, wiping any tear that falls.
Trust him, if it's difficult for Jungkook. It's way more difficult for Taehyung. Because what he's about to tell him, he wishes he never had to.
Jungkook notices how Taehyung puts his hands in his pocket and takes out something. It's a box. A small black box.
No.
It's a deck.
Jungkook notices how Taehyung puts his hands in his pocket and takes out something. It's a box. A small black box.
No.
It's a deck.
It's a deck of cards.
Jungkook looks up. What is happening? Why did no one tell him that the curse was getting transferred today? Why is it happening in the opposite direction?
Why does Taehyung know it? And wait- who even told Taehyung?
"Tae, what is this?"
Jungkook looks up. What is happening? Why did no one tell him that the curse was getting transferred today? Why is it happening in the opposite direction?
Why does Taehyung know it? And wait- who even told Taehyung?
"Tae, what is this?"
He stares at Taehyung who is biting his lips. Too hard. It will bleed any second, but Taehyung speaks.
"Jungkookie, will you pick a card?",
There's a deck of cards in front of Jungkook.
And Taehyung's voice is soft yet inviting. It's calm. Unlike before. It's hushed now.
"Jungkookie, will you pick a card?",
There's a deck of cards in front of Jungkook.
And Taehyung's voice is soft yet inviting. It's calm. Unlike before. It's hushed now.
Jungkook gazes at those cards.
He remembers asking Taehyung to pick one on their day of marriage. But that time, it was just a deal. There were no feelings involved. Nobody was hurt. Nobody was getting hurt.
He picks the card on the top. Just above the deck.
He remembers asking Taehyung to pick one on their day of marriage. But that time, it was just a deal. There were no feelings involved. Nobody was hurt. Nobody was getting hurt.
He picks the card on the top. Just above the deck.
Even Taehyung's scrutinizing eyes are on Jungkook's card. The one he picked up.
The moment he turns around. Will something happen? Jungkook wonders.
He flips the card around. Nothing happens. At all. They both stare at the card. It's a funny looking card. But nobody laughs.
The moment he turns around. Will something happen? Jungkook wonders.
He flips the card around. Nothing happens. At all. They both stare at the card. It's a funny looking card. But nobody laughs.
It's a joker.
The most useless card on the deck. Last time, Taehyung got the card of a joker. But this time, it's Jungkook.
"I don't know who's the joker between us", Taehyung looks at the card. It's funny how Joker has a mask on. A laughing mask.
The most useless card on the deck. Last time, Taehyung got the card of a joker. But this time, it's Jungkook.
"I don't know who's the joker between us", Taehyung looks at the card. It's funny how Joker has a mask on. A laughing mask.
But everybody knows, the joker cries behind the same mask. So fucking useless.
Jungkook feels his chest burning. Like someone slit his chest completely. And found nothing there.
"But this", Taehyung keeps the deck back in his pocket. He doesn't pick a card now. "This"
Jungkook feels his chest burning. Like someone slit his chest completely. And found nothing there.
"But this", Taehyung keeps the deck back in his pocket. He doesn't pick a card now. "This"
Taehyung gulps again. It's so fucking difficult. "This was a game of bluff"
It's a very famous game among card players. Pretty easy to play. Just have to lie and play your cards.
But Taehyung had pointed at them. He called their game a bluff. Their relationship. A bluff.
It's a very famous game among card players. Pretty easy to play. Just have to lie and play your cards.
But Taehyung had pointed at them. He called their game a bluff. Their relationship. A bluff.
Jungkook looks at the card he's holding. The joker one. Bluff. Taehyung has all the cards in his pocket and Jungkook is left with just this card. The joker one.
"For you, hiding your curse was a bluff", Taehyung's voice is not wavering but he lets out a tear with every word.
"For you, hiding your curse was a bluff", Taehyung's voice is not wavering but he lets out a tear with every word.
But it's right. Jungkook had lied about his curse. It wasn't about healing himself. It was always about not feeling the pain.
"But Jungkook-ah, i am not a nice person either"
Taehyung. Taehyungie is the best. He is hurting his Taehyung. Why would he not be a nice person?
"But Jungkook-ah, i am not a nice person either"
Taehyung. Taehyungie is the best. He is hurting his Taehyung. Why would he not be a nice person?
"Tae, I'm sorry", Jungkook lets out a sob.
"But my bluff", Taehyung takes a deep breath. Jungkook shouldn't be sorry.
Fuck. Why is he making it so difficult.
"But my bluff Jungkook-ah", his eyes are turning red as another tear falls out.
"My bluff was that fucking deal"
"But my bluff", Taehyung takes a deep breath. Jungkook shouldn't be sorry.
Fuck. Why is he making it so difficult.
"But my bluff Jungkook-ah", his eyes are turning red as another tear falls out.
"My bluff was that fucking deal"
Jungkook feels a shiver running down till his bones. The cold sips in for a moment, making him realise, the place near his chest that was slit open. Is completely empty.
"What", Jungkook asks but Taehyung is not even looking him in the eyes at the moment.
The deal was a lie?
"What", Jungkook asks but Taehyung is not even looking him in the eyes at the moment.
The deal was a lie?
"What you were told. That You'll be able to get my curse and then heal others? It was a fucking lie, Jungkook"
Taehyung's face is completely red. His eyes flaring with burn as he releases unfathomable words.
"Namjoon hyung lied to you", Taehyung whispers.
Taehyung's face is completely red. His eyes flaring with burn as he releases unfathomable words.
"Namjoon hyung lied to you", Taehyung whispers.
"I lied to you", Taehyung's bold voice breaks, as he chokes on his own words.
"Tae, please. We can-"
We? a we? Was it even there? And you ask how Taehyung could not fall for Jungkook? When he still wants a we?
"No Jungkook. I bluffed you. We pretended to give you... "
"Tae, please. We can-"
We? a we? Was it even there? And you ask how Taehyung could not fall for Jungkook? When he still wants a we?
"No Jungkook. I bluffed you. We pretended to give you... "
Taehyung closes his eyes. His heart. That's the worst part.
"We pretended to give you the only thing you ever wanted"
What does Jungkook ever want? Can he even want something?
"We bluffed you with the idea that you could heal others", Taehyung's voice dibs low.
"We pretended to give you the only thing you ever wanted"
What does Jungkook ever want? Can he even want something?
"We bluffed you with the idea that you could heal others", Taehyung's voice dibs low.
"That you aren't useless anymore", he wonders if he is even audible.
But Jungkook heard it. And it hit the spot. The joker was always useless in every card game.
Taehyung planned this. He planned this bluff. Jungkook scoffs to himself. Why does he feel being cheated on.
But Jungkook heard it. And it hit the spot. The joker was always useless in every card game.
Taehyung planned this. He planned this bluff. Jungkook scoffs to himself. Why does he feel being cheated on.
"I'm getting your curse. And my touch won't hurt others", that's the fucking plan. And Taehyung knew about it.
It was Jungkook who was being lied to all this time. Who thought he became the saviour by cracking the biggest deal.
But what about Jungkookie?
It was Jungkook who was being lied to all this time. Who thought he became the saviour by cracking the biggest deal.
But what about Jungkookie?
"You won't be cursed anymore", Taehyung whispers.
Taehyung knew all of this from day one. Jungkook was worried about nothing.
The someone that slit Jungkook's chest is now rubbing the empty space. Making it burn. It hurts. It hurts a lot.
"But Jungkookie you weren't-"
Taehyung knew all of this from day one. Jungkook was worried about nothing.
The someone that slit Jungkook's chest is now rubbing the empty space. Making it burn. It hurts. It hurts a lot.
"But Jungkookie you weren't-"
"I don't care", Jungkook whispers.
Fuck. Taehyung doesn't want to hear that. That Jungkook doesn't care. He knows he does.
"You weren't useless. You aren't useless", Taehyung completes his sentence.
"I don't care, Tae. I don't feel anything. I don't even know how to feel"
Fuck. Taehyung doesn't want to hear that. That Jungkook doesn't care. He knows he does.
"You weren't useless. You aren't useless", Taehyung completes his sentence.
"I don't care, Tae. I don't feel anything. I don't even know how to feel"
Taehyung knew since the beginning. Jungkook couldn't feel shit. Why is he telling him he's not useless.
"I'll be useless Tae-"
"But you made me love myself"
Jungkook lets a tear fall. He hasn't cried in days. Last he did, was on the release of blue and grey.
"I'll be useless Tae-"
"But you made me love myself"
Jungkook lets a tear fall. He hasn't cried in days. Last he did, was on the release of blue and grey.
He remembers their conversation. When Taehyung asked why he married him? The CEO had answered honestly. That they are similar. And that, Jungkook wants Taehyung to use him to love himself.
Was that a test too? Jungkook wonders now.
"You know Jungkook-ah. I'm still losing"
Was that a test too? Jungkook wonders now.
"You know Jungkook-ah. I'm still losing"
Taehyung's still losing? How? In both ways, he was able to touch others. How the hell is he still losing.
This time, Taehyung reaches out to hold Jungkook's hands. The younger lets him.
"I love you more than I could ever love myself"
How could Taehyung not love Jungkook?
This time, Taehyung reaches out to hold Jungkook's hands. The younger lets him.
"I love you more than I could ever love myself"
How could Taehyung not love Jungkook?
"I loved you knowing you weren't capable of loving me"
How could Taehyung not love Jungkook? He would be such a fool if he doesn't. How could he not notice how Jungkook smiles at him, looks at him, kisses him, and holds him.
How could he ever not notice his Jungkookie cares?
How could Taehyung not love Jungkook? He would be such a fool if he doesn't. How could he not notice how Jungkook smiles at him, looks at him, kisses him, and holds him.
How could he ever not notice his Jungkookie cares?
Cares and only for him.
Because Jungkook is too good to be true. And if he pulled him closer Taehyung would have never let him go.
And he has to. He has to let Jungkook go. For Jungkook's sake. For his own sake.
"I got fooled into my own bluff and believed you could love me"
Because Jungkook is too good to be true. And if he pulled him closer Taehyung would have never let him go.
And he has to. He has to let Jungkook go. For Jungkook's sake. For his own sake.
"I got fooled into my own bluff and believed you could love me"
Taehyung has bluffed. Since the beginning. He had the first move. It was Namjoon's plan but Taehyung knew it.
Proposing a deal to Jungkook. Thinking he had an upper hand. And then Jungkook proposing Taehyung for marriage.
It was all that darn researcher's idea.
Proposing a deal to Jungkook. Thinking he had an upper hand. And then Jungkook proposing Taehyung for marriage.
It was all that darn researcher's idea.
"Jungkook-ah", Taehyung takes a step close.
Their marriage. They don't know if it was a bluff. But the moment Taehyung married Jungkook, he followed his heart. And it always brought him back to Jungkook.
"I love you", Taehyung whispers again.
Their marriage. They don't know if it was a bluff. But the moment Taehyung married Jungkook, he followed his heart. And it always brought him back to Jungkook.
"I love you", Taehyung whispers again.
The curse was getting transferred from Jungkook to Taehyung. And the prince always knew. Namjoon always knew. It was all an act of bluff.
Jungkook wonders why?
And then there's Taehyung's hand sliding around Jungkook's torso. He's closing the little distance they had.
Jungkook wonders why?
And then there's Taehyung's hand sliding around Jungkook's torso. He's closing the little distance they had.
Taehyung embraces him. Hugs him close. Like he doesn't want to leave.
And when Taehyung hugs Jungkook.
When Taehyung hugs Jungkook, the empty space. The empty space in Jungkook's chest. The open slit. Completely fills.
Jungkook feels a weird sense of warmth.
And when Taehyung hugs Jungkook.
When Taehyung hugs Jungkook, the empty space. The empty space in Jungkook's chest. The open slit. Completely fills.
Jungkook feels a weird sense of warmth.
He could feel his heartbeat. He could feel the slit vanishing. He could feel his chest tingles when Taehyung shifts closer.
The clock struck, the time stopped. The world holds its breath for a new second. It struck the midnight.
Jungkook doesn't hug back but he sighs.
The clock struck, the time stopped. The world holds its breath for a new second. It struck the midnight.
Jungkook doesn't hug back but he sighs.
Like he's not being choked anymore. Like his chest is fine. Like there's no empty space when he feels his heart.
He could hear his heart beat for the first time. It's melodic. Jungkook tries to concentrate on it.
Wait. It's not just his heartbeat. He could feel another heart.
He could hear his heart beat for the first time. It's melodic. Jungkook tries to concentrate on it.
Wait. It's not just his heartbeat. He could feel another heart.
There's another heart that beats with his own. The same melodic rhythm.
Jungkook closes his eyes, he could feel. Feel his chest getting warmer, softer and then there are warm fingers in his hair, around his waist.
Taehyung's hands are usually cold but they feel a lot warm now.
Jungkook closes his eyes, he could feel. Feel his chest getting warmer, softer and then there are warm fingers in his hair, around his waist.
Taehyung's hands are usually cold but they feel a lot warm now.
He closes his eyes, letting himself lull into the rhythmic lub-dub of their hearts. It's so soothing, when their heart beats together.
And then there's Taehyung's fingers comforting him. This feels like home. His home. And he built this home. He made Taehyung love himself.
And then there's Taehyung's fingers comforting him. This feels like home. His home. And he built this home. He made Taehyung love himself.
In years, Jungkook feels. Feels Taehyung's warmth, feels Taehyung kissing Jungkook's neck. Feels Taehyung's tears on his shoulder.
Feels Taehyung gently pulling away.
"Don't go", Jungkook pleads.
But Taehyung is leaving. He lets go Jungkook's hair, his waist, his arms.
Feels Taehyung gently pulling away.
"Don't go", Jungkook pleads.
But Taehyung is leaving. He lets go Jungkook's hair, his waist, his arms.
"I'm sorry", Taehyung whispers, not looking back into those doe eyes that will always shine for him. He doesn't look back at the face that always lights for him.
The lights open on their own. Taehyung turns around and Jungkook looks at the staircase entry,
There's Kim Namjoon.
The lights open on their own. Taehyung turns around and Jungkook looks at the staircase entry,

"Is that how you're dying your hair?", Jimin jumps up like a scaredy cat when he hears the voice behind him.
He's been waiting outside the mansion. Thinking about billions of scenarios but definitely not this one.
"Yoongi hyung", even Jimin's voice is guilty.

"Yoongi hyung", even Jimin's voice is guilty.
Yoongi closes his eyes. He thought only Namjoon was playing dumb. But it hurts to see his boyfriend here.
"Tell me you knew about all of this", Yoongi's voice is indifferent.
"Hyung"
"Namjoon was with all of you in Daegu?"
Jimin looks down. Guilty pleaded.
"Tell me you knew about all of this", Yoongi's voice is indifferent.
"Hyung"
"Namjoon was with all of you in Daegu?"
Jimin looks down. Guilty pleaded.
"I trusted you Jimin", Yoongi runs a hand through his hair, "Fucking", he feels his rage, "hell", he kicks the ground.
"So it was all fake?", Yoongi pushes Jimin in the car parked just near them.
"It wasn't but I-"
"You always knew everything. What was that, that night?"
"So it was all fake?", Yoongi pushes Jimin in the car parked just near them.
"It wasn't but I-"
"You always knew everything. What was that, that night?"
Yoongi's voice is calm, so calm that Jimin can't even look at him in the face.
"Crying that night. That damn tattoo. Do you even care for Tae?"
Jimin pushes Yoongi, as the tears start brimming his eyes,
"I didn't want to lie to you. I even made Namjoon hyung tell you"
"Crying that night. That damn tattoo. Do you even care for Tae?"
Jimin pushes Yoongi, as the tears start brimming his eyes,
"I didn't want to lie to you. I even made Namjoon hyung tell you"
"He told you everything that night. We had to do all of this because I care for Taehyung, okay?"
Yoongi scoffs. He literally had it on his plate. How all of a sudden, the transfer is reversed. But what was the fucking problem in telling him before.
"Are they inside?"

"Are they inside?"
"Hyung please listen to me", Jimin cries.
Yoongi halts for a second. What is there to listen to. Probably another lie.
"Tell me, you lied only for Taehyung"
Jimin wants to scream. He wanted to tell Yoongi. But never knew how. Or what would happen if he did.

"Hyung, we couldn't let Jungkook know anything before the curse transfers. Namjoon hyung wants the best for both of them. I promise, there's -"
"Answer my question Jiminie"
Jimin sighs, "I lied only for Tae"
The elder nods. Take it in for a minute.
"Okay", he heads inside.
"Answer my question Jiminie"
Jimin sighs, "I lied only for Tae"
The elder nods. Take it in for a minute.
"Okay", he heads inside.
"hyung please", Jimin stops his way. The younger looks at the clock. It's already past twelve.
The curse should be transferred by right now.
"Why, Jimin?", Yoongi question when Jimin stands in front of him.
"I really like you hyung"
Yoongi snorts as he walks past him.

Yoongi snorts as he walks past him.
He walks past him, deliberately pushing him through his shoulder.
The same shoulder that Jimin slept on countless times. The same shoulder Taehyung had touched accidentally.
Jimin doesn't stop him.
Hearts were broken today. Cracked. And it hurts as every piece falls down.

"Tae, please", Jungkook is following Taehyung down the stairs.
The prince doesn't turn around, even though his step falters every time he hears his name with that voice.
"Taehyung, at least tell me why"
Taehyung can't. He can't tell him why.
He is already reaching the exit.

Taehyung can't. He can't tell him why.
He is already reaching the exit.
He doesn't want to go. But if he stops now, Jungkook will catch up.
There are guards on the exit door. His royal guards.
"Tae", Jungkook's voice is breaking but Taehyung keeps going.
Why is it so difficult? Taehyung had planned this. Hurt Jungkook. But hurt himself too.

"Taehyung i lov-"
Taehyung halts. Did he hear it. He wants to turn around. Wants Jungkook to complete it. So he could turn around and embrace him.
But Jungkook doesn't. He wants to. But he can't. At least not right now.
The younger is moving forward while Taehyung waits.

The younger is moving forward while Taehyung waits.
"Get out of my way", Jungkook growls when the guards block his way to Taehyung.
He's literally a second away.
"Taehyung please listen to me"
Taehyung lets out the last tear fall. If it's not those three words, there's nothing left to listen to.
Jungkook is pushing the gaurds.

Jungkook is pushing the gaurds.
But when Taehyung doesn't hear anything, he starts moving again.
Jungkook hits the guard but is beaten.
The prince doesn't cry when he hears Jungkook cry in pain.
The guard had hit him in the face.
Jungkook sits on the ground, his hand on his cheek, as he sees Taehyung.

Jungkook sits on the ground, his hand on his cheek, as he sees Taehyung.
He is vanishing. Going away. Jungkook feels his heart aching. "Tae, please"
There's Taehyung behind the doors and Jungkook can't see him.
The mansion is completely silent. Only leaving Jungkook with his heaving breaths.
And pain in his chest.

The mansion is completely silent. Only leaving Jungkook with his heaving breaths.
And pain in his chest.
Jungkook removes his hand away from his cheek. It's where the guard hit him.
He looks at his hand, there's blood on it. Jungkook places his hand again on his cheek.
But it doesn't heal. The curse is lifted. Jungkook can't heal himself. Nor can he heal others.

Jungkook chest tightens. His vision is blurry. It hurts so bad. Like someone took his own self away from him.
He tries to focus on his heartbeat. It reminds him of Taehyung. The soothing, calming rhythm of his heart.
It's just like Taehyung.
His husband. Kim Taehyung.

Coincidentally, the scar on his cheek right now, is exactly at the place where he first time showed, Taehyung his power to heal himself.
But it's bleeding now. And can't be healed anymore.
Taehyung gave him a scar. He gave pain to someone who could never feel any pain.

Taehyung gave him a scar. He gave pain to someone who could never feel any pain.
"i love you", Jungkook whispered. But there's no one. He repeats it again but there's no one to answer.
Jungkook feels the pain after so long.
An heart ache for a lost one. A lost cause.
The last thing he saw before collapsing on the floor was Namjoon's worrisome face.

"You fucking asshole", Yoongi doesn't give a shit when he finds Namjoon.
He straight away pushes Namjoon on the wall.
Yoongi doesn't care how Jin and Hoseok are also in the same room.
"How could you", he whispers in a hoarse voice. It's not a question.

Yoongi doesn't care how Jin and Hoseok are also in the same room.
"How could you", he whispers in a hoarse voice. It's not a question.
Yoongi is holding Namjoon's collar under his absolute grip. Eyes completely filled with rage,
Even though the researcher is tall and buff enough, but, getting Yoongi mad, is unlocking the elder's alter ego.
And it's scary. Too scary that Namjoon doesn't move.
Even though the researcher is tall and buff enough, but, getting Yoongi mad, is unlocking the elder's alter ego.
And it's scary. Too scary that Namjoon doesn't move.
Namjoon was never on their side. Those people who came from Daegu, that prince, his best friend, the goddamn researcher. They all were bad news.
"I'm gonna make you all pay", So Yoongi doesn't care where he stands, what he's about to do. He had enough.
"He's crying"
"I'm gonna make you all pay", So Yoongi doesn't care where he stands, what he's about to do. He had enough.
"He's crying"
Yoongi turned to look at Jin. He follows Seokjin's eyes.
Yoongi let go of Namjoon's collar instantly. His eyes that were so dark turned numb instantly.
There's Jungkook. His Jungkookie. Sleeping on the bed. His eyes are closed, but a tear damps his cheeks every next second.

Jungkook's crying in his sleep.
Yoongi lets out a shaky breath. He then notices, there's Seokjin and Hoseok in the room. There's Jungkook in the room connected to modern machines that probably belong to the researcher. And there's Namjoon.
He doesn't even know what happened.

He doesn't even know what happened.
The elder slowly brings his hand to the sleeping CEO's skin. He brushes his thumb, wiping the next tear that falls off on Jungkook's left cheek.
But Yoongi hisses, he had touched the scar on the younger's skin. There's a scar on his cheek.
"He's going through a heart break"
But Yoongi hisses, he had touched the scar on the younger's skin. There's a scar on his cheek.
"He's going through a heart break"
A heart break?
Yoongi touches the red mark again. Jungkook never had a scar before. Even if he got a blemish, he was always able to heal it.
But now, there's one beautiful scar dawning on the younger's skin.
The curse is uplifted. It's a scar that shows Jungkook is not cursed.

He's not cursed anymore. Jungkook can feel now. He can feel the pain. But he's sleeping now and lightly sobbing in his sleep.
"You're a monster, Kim Namjoon", Yoongi turns to look at the researcher.
The poker face Namjoon had, breaks into a soft smile.
"You're a monster, Kim Namjoon", Yoongi turns to look at the researcher.
The poker face Namjoon had, breaks into a soft smile.
Namjoon sighs, "You know when I was a kid", he has a smile on his face. And if Yoongi's hands weren't shivering he would have punched the hell out of him.
"I really wanted to be a rapper", Namjoon is not only addressing Yoongi, but to Seokjin and Hoseok too.
"I really wanted to be a rapper", Namjoon is not only addressing Yoongi, but to Seokjin and Hoseok too.
They too, now, deserve to know. After all, they never stopped caring for either Jungkook or Taehyung.
"I thought I'd name myself as, Rap Monster" Namjoon smiles at his childhood memory.
But then he's frowning, "Not all dreams can come true", he tsks at his own statement.
"I thought I'd name myself as, Rap Monster" Namjoon smiles at his childhood memory.
But then he's frowning, "Not all dreams can come true", he tsks at his own statement.
Namjoon then focuses on Jungkook. He is sniffing from time to time, his lips waver, as if he's in a lot of pain.
"A ten year old boy who stopped feeling any pain, all of a sudden?",The researcher then looks at his machines.
"Look at him", he points at his monitor,
"He feels it"

"Look at him", he points at his monitor,
"He feels it"
"He's feeling all the pain, he never did",
Namjoon saw Jungkook collapsing. Saw him calling for Taehyung and then going silent. He has been like this, silently weeping since then.
"And it only took him a heart break to feel everything again, hyung. A broken heart to feel again"
Namjoon saw Jungkook collapsing. Saw him calling for Taehyung and then going silent. He has been like this, silently weeping since then.
"And it only took him a heart break to feel everything again, hyung. A broken heart to feel again"
Usually, people go through a heart break and become indifferent. But for Jungkook, it took a heart break to feel everything.
"What was his curse, again?"
"Not to feel anything", Yoongi answers.
But Namjoon tsks. Nope. That wasn't it. "His curse was not to feel any pain"
"What was his curse, again?"
"Not to feel anything", Yoongi answers.
But Namjoon tsks. Nope. That wasn't it. "His curse was not to feel any pain"
"He's hurting now. He's in pain. And that has been the plan all along", Namjoon confesses.
And Yoongi lets out a tear. He remembers it. When in the office, he blurted that he hoped Jungkook would get hurt one day.
Today's that day.
Jungkook is finally hurt.

Today's that day.
Jungkook is finally hurt.
"Not feeling any pain made him indifferent to any sort of emotions", Namjoon rectifies Yoongi's mistake.
"But he was always different around Taehyung. He felt around Taehyung. All sorts of emotions. You saw it. We all saw it", Namjoon's voice is soft. It's comforting in a way.
"But he was always different around Taehyung. He felt around Taehyung. All sorts of emotions. You saw it. We all saw it", Namjoon's voice is soft. It's comforting in a way.
It's comforting because even if Jungkook is crying. He looks at peace. He looks complete. Not reckless. But in a tranquil. Like he finally found his missing puzzle in life.
"He felt love around Taehyung"
Jungkook felt Taehyung's love. All his love.
"He felt love around Taehyung"
Jungkook felt Taehyung's love. All his love.
So much of Taehyung's love that he could never tell the elder about his truth. Scared of losing him.
But destiny had different plans.
"Enough love of Taehyung to break his heart"
He felt enough love from Taehyung, so much that when the elder had to let go,+
But destiny had different plans.
"Enough love of Taehyung to break his heart"
He felt enough love from Taehyung, so much that when the elder had to let go,+
"Jungkook couldn't handle it when Tae left him. He couldn't handle the pain because his curse was lifted",
It took a heart break to get Jungkook out of his misery of a curse. To get him out of his emotionless self. It took him to let go the only thing he ever needed.

"So you were lying all along?" Yoongi questions, his eyes never waver from Jungkook. Noticing how the younger sniffles everytime someone mentions Tae. As if he's listening to everything too.
"You, Taehyung, Jiminie?"
"You all were lying on our faces..."
"You, Taehyung, Jiminie?"
"You all were lying on our faces..."
Namjoon blinks. He never lied. Everything he had, was all in theory. He just never told anyone anything completely. Just bits and pieces.
But what's there to hide anymore? The curses are transferred. Jungkook can feel. Taehyung can't hurt anyone with his touch.
He tells them.

"Taehyung always knew Jungkook can't feel", Namjoon whispers.
Even Hoseok lets out a gasp.
Then Namjoon tells him everything.
"We only made that fake deal for Jungkook and the late king. Or else he would have never let Taehyung marry anyone at all"
Even Hoseok lets out a gasp.
Then Namjoon tells him everything.
"We only made that fake deal for Jungkook and the late king. Or else he would have never let Taehyung marry anyone at all"
For Jungkook, to think he'll gain power that could heal others.
For The King, to think he'll be able to heal in return of marrying Taehyung off.
After all, he only ever caged his own son.
"But you know hyung, even after this, my plan had a loop hole", Namjoon points out.

"Even if I made them marry. Lied to Jungkook. Even after all of this, Jungkook had to fall in love to get his heart broken" Or else, he would have never felt any pain
"Taehyung was supposed to make Jungkook fall in love with him... And you can't make an emotionless man love?"
"Taehyung was supposed to make Jungkook fall in love with him... And you can't make an emotionless man love?"
They say, the person that makes you laugh. Smile. Would also be the person that would cost you all your tears.
And Jungkook always smiles at Taehyung. Peeking his bunny teeth, for the one closest to him.
"But Jungkook fell for Taehyung so effortlessly"
And Jungkook always smiles at Taehyung. Peeking his bunny teeth, for the one closest to him.
"But Jungkook fell for Taehyung so effortlessly"
"It was supposed to be a gradual process. I estimated a year. But every check up left me surprised. It was happening twice as fast"
Six months. Taehyung left Jungkook heart broken on their sixth month anniversary.
"You know hyung, I'm only a science guy here.. but these two"
Six months. Taehyung left Jungkook heart broken on their sixth month anniversary.
"You know hyung, I'm only a science guy here.. but these two"
"These two got something more. Always had. Something so divine and powerful that even Taehyung fell for him..." Namjoon sighs, he can't get enough of this research,
"I'm sorry, we, had to hide everything. But that has been the plan all along"
"I'm sorry, we, had to hide everything. But that has been the plan all along"
"Have their curses transferred and break Jungkook's heart. We couldn't let him know anything about this"
They couldn't let Jungkook know.
"Or else it won't be natural. You know, emotions are supposed to be felt from the heart.. if he knew he'll be able to feel in the future-"
They couldn't let Jungkook know.
"Or else it won't be natural. You know, emotions are supposed to be felt from the heart.. if he knew he'll be able to feel in the future-"
Yoongi cuts Namjoon off.
He gets it. If Jungkook knew he'd be able to feel, he would repulse it. Like he wasn't in denial already when anybody would tell him Taehyung deserves better.
Yoongi gets it. Yoongi gets why Jungkook's heart needed to be broken.
He gets it. If Jungkook knew he'd be able to feel, he would repulse it. Like he wasn't in denial already when anybody would tell him Taehyung deserves better.
Yoongi gets it. Yoongi gets why Jungkook's heart needed to be broken.
He understands where Namjoon is coming from. Jungkook had never felt pain in years, and losing a loved one; that's the gravest pain anyone could go through.
It's even worse to think, after years, Jungkook was able to feel, and his first emotions were about a heartbreak. Pain.
It's even worse to think, after years, Jungkook was able to feel, and his first emotions were about a heartbreak. Pain.
But Yoongi doesn't get it. That he desperately cuts Namjoon off,
"So you're saying Taehyung only pretended to fall in love with him, all along?"
He doesn't want to believe this allegations himself. But if, that was the plan. Yoongi doesn't trust anyone. Nobody.
"So you're saying Taehyung only pretended to fall in love with him, all along?"
He doesn't want to believe this allegations himself. But if, that was the plan. Yoongi doesn't trust anyone. Nobody.
Namjoon's eyes crinkle but there's a sad smile on his face.
"That's why I had to lie and go to Daegu"
Namjoon has always focused on the practicality of his research. Love was secondary to him.
Unlike Yoongi. His nose flares every passing second.
"Taehyungie", Namjoon sighs.

"Taehyungie", Namjoon sighs.
"When he got married to Jungkook.. I don't think he remembered", it's even weird to the researcher.
"anything about the plan"
"What do you mean, Namjoon? Don't make it complicated as if it's not already-" Yoongi deadpans.
"Listen, I know it might sound dumb but it's true"
"anything about the plan"
"What do you mean, Namjoon? Don't make it complicated as if it's not already-" Yoongi deadpans.
"Listen, I know it might sound dumb but it's true"
"I went to talk to Taehyung on the rooftop that day when those rumours were posted. He confessed to me that he loved Jungkook but he didn't remember anything about the deal.. nor about the plan"
Yoongi closes his eyes. He's losing it.
"Even when Jimin touched him deliberately-"
Yoongi closes his eyes. He's losing it.
"Even when Jimin touched him deliberately-"
"Jimin touched him on purpose?", Yoongi is ready to throw fits again. Even Jin and Hoseok look shocked.
"I know", Namjoon sighs, "that was planned too, I had to check-"
"You know it's never easy for Tae if he touches someone", Hoseok comments.
It's not. Namjoon knows it all.
"I know", Namjoon sighs, "that was planned too, I had to check-"
"You know it's never easy for Tae if he touches someone", Hoseok comments.
It's not. Namjoon knows it all.
"God Namjoon, you're unbelievable. I told you not to come near anyone I love", Yoongi hides his face in his palm.
"I shouldn't have let anyone get closer to him. Or to me. Should have been cruel to all of you.."
Yoongi took time to get warmer to them. He did. He was protective.
"I shouldn't have let anyone get closer to him. Or to me. Should have been cruel to all of you.."
Yoongi took time to get warmer to them. He did. He was protective.
He has always been Jungkook's side. Keeping his guards up. Protecting him like his younger brother.
But he melted for Taehyung. He gave his heart to Jimin.
"I know I might be a monster, hyung. But Taehyung's feelings aren't fake. When I went to Daegu to meet the king.."
But he melted for Taehyung. He gave his heart to Jimin.
"I know I might be a monster, hyung. But Taehyung's feelings aren't fake. When I went to Daegu to meet the king.."
Yoongi knew Namjoon was in Daegu.
"The late old man told me how Taehyung looks so happy in those media pictures. How he was never able to see that smile. Hyung, Tae's feelings aren't fake at all. Even the king knew the deal was fake before he died"
Namjoon rubs his temple.
"The late old man told me how Taehyung looks so happy in those media pictures. How he was never able to see that smile. Hyung, Tae's feelings aren't fake at all. Even the king knew the deal was fake before he died"
Namjoon rubs his temple.
"A week later, when the King died and Taehyung came to Daegu. Hyung, i reminded him that Jungkook can't feel. Jungkook can't return his love"
"I reminded him about the damn plan"
Yoongi gulps. The plan where the curse gets transferred and Taehyung breaks Jungkook's heart.
"I reminded him about the damn plan"
Yoongi gulps. The plan where the curse gets transferred and Taehyung breaks Jungkook's heart.
"But he couldn't care less. It's like his brain never registered the plan. Or the part Jungkook can't feel anything. He had accepted Jungkook in every way"
A love so selfless that it felt selfish to break it.
"I told him, he'd have to break Jungkook's heart to make him feel"
A love so selfless that it felt selfish to break it.
"I told him, he'd have to break Jungkook's heart to make him feel"
"But he was so ready to live a life where his love wasn't returned rather than breaking Jungkook's heart"
"He was ready to hurt others with his touch rather than hurting Jungkook"
If Taehyung loved Jungkook, then he broke Jungkook's heart to make him feel. To get love in return.
"He was ready to hurt others with his touch rather than hurting Jungkook"
If Taehyung loved Jungkook, then he broke Jungkook's heart to make him feel. To get love in return.
"I know how you must be thinking about Tae. But he was deluded by his own lies. He fell for someone knowingly, they might not be able to love him back"
But Jungkook's heart got broken is a sign that he loved Taehyung. He could, in face, love Tae. Just never said it to him
But Jungkook's heart got broken is a sign that he loved Taehyung. He could, in face, love Tae. Just never said it to him
"I know hyung, what you see right now, is how Jungkook is getting hurt",
"But I've seen Taehyung being hurt all his life. And it was never his fault. I'm so cruel hyung. So cruel when I asked him to let Jungkook go. Let the only thing that made him happy go away"
"But I've seen Taehyung being hurt all his life. And it was never his fault. I'm so cruel hyung. So cruel when I asked him to let Jungkook go. Let the only thing that made him happy go away"
"He really loves Jungkook. He was ready to let go of Jungkook for Jungkook's sake. He took Jungkook's curse and broke himself with it"
"He's not winning this. He's losing too",
Taehyung fell for his own trap. He fell for Jungkook first, then made the younger fall harder.
"He's not winning this. He's losing too",
Taehyung fell for his own trap. He fell for Jungkook first, then made the younger fall harder.
"Where's Taehyung?"
Yoongi looks at Jungkook, sleeping. He always knew. They'll get hurt. He predicted it, a long time ago. But like this? He never guessed.
"On his way to Daegu", Namjoon answers honestly.
Yoongi would never be able to think it was Taehyung all along.

Yoongi would never be able to think it was Taehyung all along.
He has been pure. So pure. Yoongi adores him. And he was the one to notice, and tell Jimin, Taehyung loves Jungkook. Wasn't he?
"And what did you say, Taehyung didn't remember about the plan?"
"So I have this theory", Namjoon's face brightens. "I hope it's not correct but.."

"I don't know if there are more people like Taehyung and Jungkook in the world. But, I've never let any third person know about Jungkook's condition", Yoongi whispers.
"I have imagined the worst if someone finds out about his curse",
"And the ways they could use him"
"I have imagined the worst if someone finds out about his curse",
"And the ways they could use him"
The world is not a kind place, after all.
A person who could never get hurt. Can heal himself. Would be the dream team players for every mafia, every government, every human being's revenge.
"And same goes for Taehyung. People thought they are rumours but it's a hidden truth"

Imagine a villain or an Avenger whose mere touch could hurt anyone. It's rare. Things like these, people like Taehyung and Jungkook are rare.
And people like things that are rare.
Taehyung was kept hidden. In a way, the king cared. In a way, he failed to care.
And people like things that are rare.
Taehyung was kept hidden. In a way, the king cared. In a way, he failed to care.
"It's not a nice world we live in, Namjoon-ah", Yoongi doesn't look vexed like before, "So many people could have used them for their own benefits. Experiment on them.. ",
In a bigger picture of the world, people are selfish. Filled with hatred.
"But you got the chance"
In a bigger picture of the world, people are selfish. Filled with hatred.
"But you got the chance"
"I want to hate you for your every theory. Every experiment. Every fucking plan but..."
But he can't. Yoongi can't hate Namjoon when the man never had any malice. Any evil motive.
The researcher had always been looking for ways to benefit both Taehyung and Jungkook.
But he can't. Yoongi can't hate Namjoon when the man never had any malice. Any evil motive.
The researcher had always been looking for ways to benefit both Taehyung and Jungkook.
"But your plan. Was it honestly, the best?", Yoongi genuinely wants to know. How come, hurting two people is still a successful plan.
How everything makes sense. Feels right. but at the same time, everything is painful.
How is this ever a successful plan.

"I have been friends with Taehyung for eight years, now", Namjoon smiles to himself.
"I have made him touch flowers. Birds. Animals. Wasn't a great sight, when most of them couldn't survive"
Taehyung can't touch anyone. And that anyone includes all the living things.

Taehyung can't touch anyone. And that anyone includes all the living things.
"You know, Tae always wanted a dog", Namjoon sighs, "he's a people person. I mean, it took you guys a week to be friends with Tae, didn't it?"
Jin remembers, he was never complimented this much for his food like Taehyung did.
"But he can't be with people. At least until now"
Jin remembers, he was never complimented this much for his food like Taehyung did.
"But he can't be with people. At least until now"
In just a week, Taehyung had befriended all of them. Even the cold stone, Yoongi.
"Jungkook is the same as him, too. He can't be with people, either"
Jin was never complimented by the younger for his food, even though, he knows the younger asks for more if he likes it.
"Jungkook is the same as him, too. He can't be with people, either"
Jin was never complimented by the younger for his food, even though, he knows the younger asks for more if he likes it.
But he never verbalized it.
"You know, he might be able to touch others. But, to connect emotionally? It was never possible for him"
Until now.
Yoongi cared for someone that never cared for him in return.
"Grandpa Jeon was the one who contacted me for the first time"
"You know, he might be able to touch others. But, to connect emotionally? It was never possible for him"
Until now.
Yoongi cared for someone that never cared for him in return.
"Grandpa Jeon was the one who contacted me for the first time"
Namjoon sighs, "Random night. I was in Daegu. He got to know I research on stuff like these.. and he told me about Jungkook"
"Jungkook, his grandson. That never tells anyone how he feels. His condition. His life. His curse and.. And it all suddenly clicked that night",
"Jungkook, his grandson. That never tells anyone how he feels. His condition. His life. His curse and.. And it all suddenly clicked that night",
If people made Taehyung a bad person for his curse.
Then people around Jungkook wouldn't even consider Jungkook as a person.
Human beings are supposed to feel. A person is supposed to feel.
"They both were so similar. Their lives, the timeline. It all matched"
Then people around Jungkook wouldn't even consider Jungkook as a person.
Human beings are supposed to feel. A person is supposed to feel.
"They both were so similar. Their lives, the timeline. It all matched"
Taehyung and Jungkook, first saw a glimpse of their curse at five.
At ten, they got a hold of it completely. When Taehyung's mother left him, Jungkook's parents went through an accident.
At ten, they knew they were different. One, a bad person. While other, not even a person.

At ten, they knew they were different. One, a bad person. While other, not even a person.
All their life, they have suffered. Both for different causes, yet, it all clicked. Fitted perfectly in every way.
"I made a plan that was successful" Namjoon did. A fact.
It was successful. In ways, the curse is transferred. Jungkook is free to feel. Taehyung is free to touch.

It was successful. In ways, the curse is transferred. Jungkook is free to feel. Taehyung is free to touch.
"But it wasn't just me, hyung", Namjoon answers honestly, "It wasn't just my plan that got them here"
To put it in a simple form, there were things that were intended. A plan. But there were things that were meant to be. The destiny.
To put it in a simple form, there were things that were intended. A plan. But there were things that were meant to be. The destiny.
Even if it was fate working all along, it's rather commendable how Namjoon predicted everything right.
A plan to get them married on a prediction they might cancel each other's effect. And it did happen.
Marriage was a plan. After that, it was destiny who played the role.
A plan to get them married on a prediction they might cancel each other's effect. And it did happen.
Marriage was a plan. After that, it was destiny who played the role.
A plan to break Jungkook's heart, predicting, he will be able to feel? Falling in love was destiny.
A plan to get the curse transferred from Jungkook to Taehyung on a prediction, he could touch anyone. Fate made the process as fast as possible.
But it's commendable. Namjoon.

But it's commendable. Namjoon.
It's commendable. Admirable how Namjoon predicted everything right from the beginning.
"But you know, where it got complex?", The researcher wets his lips.
Yoongi knows. All of them know by now.
"When Taehyung didn't remember shit about the plan"
Namjoon's other theory.
"But you know, where it got complex?", The researcher wets his lips.
Yoongi knows. All of them know by now.
"When Taehyung didn't remember shit about the plan"
Namjoon's other theory.
Taehyung didn't remember Jungkook. So much so, he started growing his own suspicions against the younger. So much so, he forgot, Jimin touched him deliberately.
"He forgot Jungkook couldn't feel. It took me hours to remind him about the plan. It was very odd for me too.."
"He forgot Jungkook couldn't feel. It took me hours to remind him about the plan. It was very odd for me too.."
Odd because Taehyung forgetting about the plan wasn't part of the plan.
"You know when I talked to him in Daegu, he questioned why Jungkook won't kiss him or why he won't come closer?"
"it felt like, he was bound to forget that. Forget, Jungkook can't feel any pain"
"You know when I talked to him in Daegu, he questioned why Jungkook won't kiss him or why he won't come closer?"
"it felt like, he was bound to forget that. Forget, Jungkook can't feel any pain"
There's one reality that was there. And then there's one reality that Taehyung chose to live.
As much as Jungkook was desperate to hide his curse all along. Taehyung wanted to forget he knew about it, with all his might.
He forgot it completely.
And if it's not Namjoon's plan-
As much as Jungkook was desperate to hide his curse all along. Taehyung wanted to forget he knew about it, with all his might.
He forgot it completely.
And if it's not Namjoon's plan-
It's destiny.
"Taehyung fell for Jungkook rather than acting to fall in love. And that wasn't the plan, hyung. At all"
So if Taehyung fell for Jungkook, not according to the plan, that only means, it was meant to be.
It was destined that he forgets about Jungkook's curse.
"Taehyung fell for Jungkook rather than acting to fall in love. And that wasn't the plan, hyung. At all"
So if Taehyung fell for Jungkook, not according to the plan, that only means, it was meant to be.
It was destined that he forgets about Jungkook's curse.
And how could he not forget? It wasn't like Jungkook was acting to care. He cared for Taehyung. He cried for Taehyung. He felt for Taehyung. And then he fell for Taehyung.
"I don't know hyung, maybe Tae repressed those memories. Knowing it will hurt. But if it's not the case"
"I don't know hyung, maybe Tae repressed those memories. Knowing it will hurt. But if it's not the case"
If Taehyung didn't suppress the idea that Jungkook doesn't feel. That Jungkook will one day return his feelings.
"If it's not the case. It only brings up my theory. If Tae forgot about the plan then that only means one thing"
Namjoon's predictions have been right till now.
"If it's not the case. It only brings up my theory. If Tae forgot about the plan then that only means one thing"
Namjoon's predictions have been right till now.
"You see, they keep cancelling each other out? They share similar timelines. So if Taehyung forgets about something that hurts him in the future. It only means Jungkook would too.."
Jungkook would forget about the only thing that hurts him.
It's Namjoon's theory.
Jungkook would forget about the only thing that hurts him.
It's Namjoon's theory.
Even if Taehyung knew Jungkook could not feel. He couldn't remember it. Only because, knowing Jungkook's true self would hurt him. Hurt that his feelings won't be returned.
He couldn't recall the only thing that would give him pain.
And what gave Jungkook any pain?
He couldn't recall the only thing that would give him pain.
And what gave Jungkook any pain?
What made the younger cry so bad that, now, he silently weeps in his sleep? What gave Jungkook so much pain, that now he started to feel everything?
And if Namjoon's theory is correct. Jungkook, too, should not remember the thing that brought him any pain.
Was it the best?
And if Namjoon's theory is correct. Jungkook, too, should not remember the thing that brought him any pain.
Was it the best?
"You asked me, if my plan was the best?Right, hyung?"
Yoongi did.
The sun in creeping in front the the crystalline curtains. The warm light hits the room slowly.
They lost the track of time in their talk.
The sun twinkles on Jungkook's face too.
"My plan was successful"
Yoongi did.

Everything Namjoon wanted. Happened.
"They both can live a normal life now", Namjoon sighs. It was a long day.
"He can fall for anyone he wants", Namjoon smiles at sleeping Jungkook.
"He can touch anyone he wants"
They are free. Free to live, do, feel whatever they want.

"He can touch anyone he wants"
They are free. Free to live, do, feel whatever they want.
Isn't this supposed to be a happy ending? For both of them?
"They have suffered enough", Namjoon closes his eyes for a moment.
It took him years, to complete this research. He feels peace in the moment. Namjoon can finally rest.
"They are still suffering", Jin whispers.
"They have suffered enough", Namjoon closes his eyes for a moment.
It took him years, to complete this research. He feels peace in the moment. Namjoon can finally rest.
"They are still suffering", Jin whispers.
Namjoon scoffs softly.
Why is Jungkook letting out tears? Why did Taehyung have to leave the only thing that made him happy?
But, it's a crazy world. Nothing comes for free. Everything costs everything.
"They deserve to be together", Hoseok joins.
It's a sad love story.

It's been a sad love story all along.
A road that was broken brought them together. Namjoon only put the directions on the road. But they walked on the road together, crossed every hardship along the way, together.
But who knew? Who knew the road would bring them to a dead end.
A road that was broken brought them together. Namjoon only put the directions on the road. But they walked on the road together, crossed every hardship along the way, together.
But who knew? Who knew the road would bring them to a dead end.
A cliff. Downfall.
"What if Jungkook doesn't forget him? Can't we make him remember about Taehyung?
Namjoon lets out a tear fall. He wipes it instantly. His plan failed successfully. He mended something but he broke something else in the process.
"I don't know hyung..."

Namjoon lets out a tear fall. He wipes it instantly. His plan failed successfully. He mended something but he broke something else in the process.
"I don't know hyung..."
"As i said it's all in theory",
Namjoon and his theories. That they forget everything that brought them pain.
And it's annoying how all his theories till now, happened to be true.
"But, hyung. Even if that happens, even if he doesn't remember. They both share something"
Namjoon and his theories. That they forget everything that brought them pain.
And it's annoying how all his theories till now, happened to be true.
"But, hyung. Even if that happens, even if he doesn't remember. They both share something"
"In fact, they share so many things together. So much in common"
It's burning but it's beautiful.
"Even if Jungkook forgets him, Taehyung took his curse and gave all his pain to Jungkook, hyung",
"Even if my plan wasn't the best, they still share the same heartbeat"
It's burning but it's beautiful.
"Even if Jungkook forgets him, Taehyung took his curse and gave all his pain to Jungkook, hyung",
"Even if my plan wasn't the best, they still share the same heartbeat"
"Even if Jungkook forgets Tae, he will carry his heart with him. Every day."
Hoseok hides his face in Jin's shoulder. It's a painful blunder. In Seokjin's terms, it's like a smoothie where the weirdest food combinations got blended and still taste wonderful.
A sweet loss.

"Get out, Namjoon", Yoongi whispers. He saw Jungkook. His little Jungkook smiles after years. Laugh, joke, have fun after years. And it will all be shattered the moment he wakes up.
If the researcher is correct, he won't even have those sweet memories to think about.
If the researcher is correct, he won't even have those sweet memories to think about.
"I will. I will leave after Jungkook wakes up. It's still my duty to check up on him",
Yoongi faces the wall. He won't cry in front of everyone.
"I'm sorry. To all of you. There might be better researchers than me. But, i care for both of them. And I'll be there for them.."
Yoongi faces the wall. He won't cry in front of everyone.
"I'm sorry. To all of you. There might be better researchers than me. But, i care for both of them. And I'll be there for them.."
"This might be the end of my plan. But it was never just about my plan", Namjoon's lips waver when he sees Yoongi's shoulder sag.
"But if they are fated, they'll be able to find a way back to each other"
"Even if it takes for Jungkook to forget him", Namjoon faces the wall too.
"But if they are fated, they'll be able to find a way back to each other"

"Tae, please", Jimin's throat turns dry. He is sitting on the corner of the back seat.
And there's Taehyung on the other corner. Crying. Sobbing. Curled up in a ball, hiding his face from the world.
His eyes burn but he doesn't stop weeping.
"We can fix this", Jimin whispers.

His eyes burn but he doesn't stop weeping.
"We can fix this", Jimin whispers.
They are on their way back to Daegu. The moment Taehyung entered the car, he hadn't stopped. He couldn't.
And it stings Jimin to see his best friend like this. It always hurts him to see Taehyung cry. All alone. Cold and burnt.
"Tae, it's not like you can't meet him again"
And it stings Jimin to see his best friend like this. It always hurts him to see Taehyung cry. All alone. Cold and burnt.
"Tae, it's not like you can't meet him again"
Taehyung winces hearing Jimin's statement. The elder feels his guts squeezing, when Taehyung lets out an ugly sob.
Taehyung cries harder. His shoulder shivers. Why would Jungkook see him?
Jimin's lip quivers, "Taehyung", as he shouts, his own cheeks dampened with tears.

Jimin's lip quivers, "Taehyung", as he shouts, his own cheeks dampened with tears.
Jimin reaches out for Taehyung. For the first time in his life, he breaks the guidelines, closes the distance when he sees Taehyung crying like this.
The elder pulls him in a hug. Not caring, if he burns completely. He has never seen his best friend cry like this.
The elder pulls him in a hug. Not caring, if he burns completely. He has never seen his best friend cry like this.
Jimin, for the first time, hugs Taehyung when he cries. He had always wanted to, so much, but the way, Taehyung cries today, Jimin doesn't hold himself back.
He engulfs Taehyung completely. He lets his own tears fall.
"We can fix this", Jimin says. Comforting both of them.
He engulfs Taehyung completely. He lets his own tears fall.
"We can fix this", Jimin says. Comforting both of them.
Taehyung's shoulders still move up and down, indicating he sobs in Jimin's arms too.
"Why did it have to be me?", Taehyung's voice is hoarse. Sounds painful. He looks painful.
"Why did I have to be the one breaking his heart?", Taehyung's complete body is shivering.
"Why did it have to be me?", Taehyung's voice is hoarse. Sounds painful. He looks painful.
"Why did I have to be the one breaking his heart?", Taehyung's complete body is shivering.
Jimin tries his best to warm Taehyung's body. Calm him down, his own heart pieces fall from time to time.
After all, Taehyung wasn't the only one who broke someone's heart today.
"He only cared about you", Jimin answers Taehyung's question.
Taehyung was the only one for him.
After all, Taehyung wasn't the only one who broke someone's heart today.
"He only cared about you", Jimin answers Taehyung's question.
Taehyung was the only one for him.
Jungkook only cared about Taehyung.
Thus, Taehyung was the only one who could break his heart.
"I have to leave him for his own sake? Tell me how this", Taehyung sobs, "makes sense."
It does. It does make sense. Taehyung broke Jungkook for Jungkook's sake.
To make him feel.
Thus, Taehyung was the only one who could break his heart.

It does. It does make sense. Taehyung broke Jungkook for Jungkook's sake.
To make him feel.
"Tae..."
Jimin tries to rub circles on Taehyung's body. Make him calm down, even if a little.
"Why did Namjoon hyung, remind me of that plan? ", Taehyung sniffles when he feels a little warmth from Jimin.
Even if Namjoon didn't. Taehyung was growing his own suspicions.

Even if Namjoon didn't. Taehyung was growing his own suspicions.
Even if he forgot, he'd have to eventually find out. Maybe in that way, Taehyung wouldn't feel guilty about leaving Jungkook like that. Maybe, in that way Jungkook would have his heart broken but he wouldn't doubt Taehyung's love.
But this can't be the reality. He is guilty.
But this can't be the reality. He is guilty.
He was part of the plan. He knew Jungkook couldn't feel. Yet, he let himself fall for Jungkook. Forgot that he is cursed just like him.
Found his home in Jungkook's arms. His happiness in Jungkook's touch.
But till how long,Taehyung would fool himself. Namjoon had to remind him.
Found his home in Jungkook's arms. His happiness in Jungkook's touch.
But till how long,Taehyung would fool himself. Namjoon had to remind him.
"Sometimes you have to let go", Jimin whispers.
"Set them free.."
He never pretended around Jungkook.
He let himself free with Jungkook. So much, that he thought Jungkook could love him too.
And how could he not?
"His eyes were shining Mimi. Even if i told him I'm a liar"
"Set them free.."
He never pretended around Jungkook.
He let himself free with Jungkook. So much, that he thought Jungkook could love him too.
And how could he not?
"His eyes were shining Mimi. Even if i told him I'm a liar"
A liar who got bluffed on himself. Isn't that a joker move? To laugh at your own jokes? To believe in your own lies.
"I was happy with him", Taehyung's voice softens. It's already a past now.
The worst has happened.
"But, he will be able to feel now, right? Feel love?"
Love.
"I was happy with him", Taehyung's voice softens. It's already a past now.
The worst has happened.
"But, he will be able to feel now, right? Feel love?"
Love.
"He will be able to feel someone's love. Maybe not mine, but", Taehyung's voice cracks.
Taehyung set him free.
A love so selfless that it breaks heart.
Jimin bites his upper lips when he notices Taehyung is hugging back. His Taehyung is hugging him. First time.
Taehyung set him free.

"I love him, Jiminie"
Taehyung couldn't even turn around when Jungkook got hit. He couldn't or else he would never let him go. He couldn't kiss his wounds like Jungkook did for him.
"Please, take me back to him", Taehyung is pleading. Helplessly pleading.
Taehyung couldn't even turn around when Jungkook got hit. He couldn't or else he would never let him go. He couldn't kiss his wounds like Jungkook did for him.
"Please, take me back to him", Taehyung is pleading. Helplessly pleading.
"Tae, we can't", Jimin cries. They played the game. And they lost.
"Joon hyung said he won't remember me..", Taehyung drops the bomb on himself.
"He said Jungkookie will forget everything that brought him pain"
Taehyung brought pain to Jungkook. He broke his heart.
"Joon hyung said he won't remember me..", Taehyung drops the bomb on himself.
"He said Jungkookie will forget everything that brought him pain"
Taehyung brought pain to Jungkook. He broke his heart.
A love so selfish that pain is beautiful too.
Jimin pats Taehyung's back, he is still shivering but he feels warm.
"Tae, he said it's only a possibility.."
Taehyung can't go back to Jungkook. And Jungkook won't remember him. He did, lose the game, after all.
Jimin pats Taehyung's back, he is still shivering but he feels warm.
"Tae, he said it's only a possibility.."
Taehyung can't go back to Jungkook. And Jungkook won't remember him. He did, lose the game, after all.
And if it's not the game of cards. It's a game of chess.
Taehyung saved his queen but still lost the match.
If they are counting possibilities, then there are endless numbers to them.
"He'll fall for someone. Someone better. Who won't break his heart like I did..."
Taehyung saved his queen but still lost the match.
If they are counting possibilities, then there are endless numbers to them.
"He'll fall for someone. Someone better. Who won't break his heart like I did..."
"Tae", Jimin pulls away. He looks at Taehyung whose eyes are bloodshot red. Hair messed up, tear marks at every corner of the face.
The elder's hands tremble when he cups Taehyung's face.
Taehyung then realises. Then he noticed, Jimin hugged him. He then lets out a sob.
The elder's hands tremble when he cups Taehyung's face.
Taehyung then realises. Then he noticed, Jimin hugged him. He then lets out a sob.
Taehyung bites his lips. The curse is lifted. Jimin is alright. He isn't hurt. He didn't get hurt when he touched Taehyung.
But the tears he let out. They aren't happy tears. Because the cost of Jimin hugging him? He paid for it.
And the price only left him broke.
But the tears he let out. They aren't happy tears. Because the cost of Jimin hugging him? He paid for it.
And the price only left him broke.
"You were the only one for Jungkook", Jimin points out.
The younger remembers that night on the roof top. When he had asked Jungkook to promise to stay with him for a long time.
Jungkook had claimed, Taehyung's the only one for him. Ever after.
But it's so heart breaking.

Jungkook had claimed, Taehyung's the only one for him. Ever after.
But it's so heart breaking.
So debilitating that even if Jungkook promised Taehyung, the elder broke the promise.
He broke it first. He stepped back first. Just like, how it was planned.
And Jungkook might not even remember anything now. It's good. He shouldn't. He shouldn't remember bad memories.
He broke it first. He stepped back first. Just like, how it was planned.
And Jungkook might not even remember anything now. It's good. He shouldn't. He shouldn't remember bad memories.
He shouldn't remember how bad Taehyung was. How big of a liar Taehyung was. He should forget Taehyung. It's better for him.
The sun enters through the car's window pane. They should reach Daegu in an hour or so.
"You are free too", Jimin whispers, caressing his cheek.

"You are free too", Jimin whispers, caressing his cheek.
"And he knows you love him. That's the reason why he felt any pain when you left. The curse is broken Tae..", Jimin tried to smile but couldn't. It only remains as a deep frown.
Even if the curse is broken, he is holding Taehyung in his arms. God, he had imagined this day.
Even if the curse is broken, he is holding Taehyung in his arms. God, he had imagined this day.
But, nothing is right.
Even if Taehyung is in his arms, he only cries. Even if he caresses his cheek, he only wipes a tear.
And there's absolutely nothing to be done.
"At least he knows you love him", Jimin justifies again.
"But he won't remember it", Taehyung whispers.

#taekook #taekookau
Jungkook's walk is enticing. Menacing even. He takes every step in the palace as if he knows everything. Every truth, every lie in the universe.
It's godly gorgeous. But Taehyung feels in hell when his knees go weak to even stand upright.

It's godly gorgeous. But Taehyung feels in hell when his knees go weak to even stand upright.
The elder notices people behind Jungkook, probably his team for the factory project. A business trip. Taehyung tries to remind himself. But he gulps when Jungkook keeps moving.
Jungkook doesn't waver. He doesn't look down like Taehyung does in front.
Taehyung bites his lips.
Jungkook doesn't waver. He doesn't look down like Taehyung does in front.
Taehyung bites his lips.
He can't do it. He can't face Jungkook. He broke his heart and never returned. He is a bad memory. There's Jimin's hand on his back to support him.
But Jungkook is coming so close. So fucking close every passing second.
How will Taehyung ever face him? Just a loser of a king.
But Jungkook is coming so close. So fucking close every passing second.
How will Taehyung ever face him? Just a loser of a king.
Taehyung gulps. Jungkook is here. He swears the corridor is too long, but, still Jungkook is here.
Right in front of him.
Perfectly alright.
He stands silently in front of the king with his team behind. Taehyung doesn't see Hoseok or Yoongi among them, surprisingly.

Perfectly alright.
He stands silently in front of the king with his team behind. Taehyung doesn't see Hoseok or Yoongi among them, surprisingly.
But Jungkook is here. His Jungkookie is here. He looks as beautiful as yesterday. So bright and pretty. His hair looks softer. His lips look pink and plush. The round cute nose. And those eyes-
There's a nudge on Taehyung's side by the chief head.
Even if he's a loser.
There's a nudge on Taehyung's side by the chief head.
Even if he's a loser.
He's still a king.
Taehyung bows to Jungkook on the indication by the chief.
"Welcome to Daeg-"
Taehyung is cut off,
"Yo, who wears goggles inside?"
Jungkook's head whips from Taehyung to his right. He scoffs lightly.
Taehyung too, turns to his side for a moment.

Jungkook's head whips from Taehyung to his right. He scoffs lightly.
Taehyung too, turns to his side for a moment.
But then he faces Jungkook again. Those eyes are covered with sunglasses. Those eyes that always shimmer for Taehyung, show him billions of stars.
If you ask, Taehyung's favourite place. It will be in Jungkook's eyes. His safe place.
But they are covered right now.

"I mean, you're in the palace. Right in front of the king", there's Park Seojoon on the side. The one pointing Jungkook is wearing goggles.
"Show some respect bro, will you?"
Jungkook smiles at Seojoon. He wipes his tattooed hand through his hair.
That unicorn owner.
"Show some respect bro, will you?"
Jungkook smiles at Seojoon. He wipes his tattooed hand through his hair.
That unicorn owner.
"Two adults are talking, here", Jungkook smirks, "Show some respect?", His grin only gets wider,
"Bro"
Seojoon nods his head. Enjoying their little banter as he moves forward, towards Jungkook.
Seojoon has popcorn in his hand that he keeps eating one by one.
"Bro"
Seojoon nods his head. Enjoying their little banter as he moves forward, towards Jungkook.
Seojoon has popcorn in his hand that he keeps eating one by one.
He stops right in front of Jungkook, putting one single popcorn in his mouth and chewing on it.
"How was your trip in that brand new car of yours?", Seojoon's voice is too polite. But filled with sarcasm.
Jungkook knows what the other CEO is trying to do. He wants to reply but+

He won't. He isn't here for their lame banters,
"I'm here to have a deal, Seojoon-ssi", Jungkook too speaks so softly with a tainted smile.
"And I'm gonna grab the deal..", he maintains a poker face as he turns to Taehyung,"..This time"
This time? Taehyung's eyes widened.

"And I'm gonna grab the deal..", he maintains a poker face as he turns to Taehyung,"..This time"
This time? Taehyung's eyes widened.
If there's a "this" time. There must have been a previous time too. And if there's a previous time, that means Jungkook remembers. He remembers something. Someone. He remembers Taehyung. Even a little bit.
"You can try",Seojoon laughs.
"Jungkook-ah",Taehyung's voice breaks.
"You can try",Seojoon laughs.
"Jungkook-ah",Taehyung's voice breaks.
Both the CEOs pay attention to Taehyung.
Taehyung who's got chills running down his spine. Taehyung, who feels like a broken time machine. Taehyung, who's got his cheeks wet to even look at Jungkook.
And when Taehyung doesn't say anything but only stares at the younger.

And when Taehyung doesn't say anything but only stares at the younger.
Jungkook removes those goggles. He keeps them in his pocket. A moment, later he faces Taehyung.
If Taehyung felt broken. He feels shattered right now. There's Jungkook. And Jungkook's doe eyes.
The doe eyes that look a lot sharp right now. The doe eyes with new shiny piercings.
If Taehyung felt broken. He feels shattered right now. There's Jungkook. And Jungkook's doe eyes.
The doe eyes that look a lot sharp right now. The doe eyes with new shiny piercings.
They look completely new. Taehyung doesn't hate the piercing but it shines too bright that it almost dims Jungkook's natural glow in his eyes.
He can see himself in those still so beautiful eyes. But there are very few stars.
Maybe not the piercing. Jungkook's eyes don't shine.
He can see himself in those still so beautiful eyes. But there are very few stars.
Maybe not the piercing. Jungkook's eyes don't shine.
They shine. They do shine but not like they used to do for Taehyung.
"I-", Taehyung feels lost. The home he had in those eyes, he can't find it at the moment. So lost.
"Say Taehyung, will you show any bias between us?", Jungkook questions pointing at him and Seojoon.
"I-", Taehyung feels lost. The home he had in those eyes, he can't find it at the moment. So lost.
"Say Taehyung, will you show any bias between us?", Jungkook questions pointing at him and Seojoon.
"oh please, you'll clearly be at an advantage, if he does" Seojoon eats another popcorn.
"Na dude..He doesn't really care about me", Jungkook drops the bomb.
"Right, Taetae?"
Taehyung blinks. He feels his throat getting dry. He feels a butter taste in his mouth. A bitter lie.
"Na dude..He doesn't really care about me", Jungkook drops the bomb.
"Right, Taetae?"
Taehyung blinks. He feels his throat getting dry. He feels a butter taste in his mouth. A bitter lie.
If Jungkook thinks Taehyung doesn't care about him, it's all because Taehyung broke his heart. And if Jungkook knows this, right now, at the moment, that only means,
Jeon Jungkook remembers. He remembers Taehyung. Taehyung and his confession. Taehyung and him breaking his heart.
Jeon Jungkook remembers. He remembers Taehyung. Taehyung and his confession. Taehyung and him breaking his heart.
"hey, i call him Taetae", Seojoon whines.
"Yeah call him whatever you want"
"You remember", Taehyung whispers.
"We will be showing you your rooms for the stay. Please don't hesitate for anything you want", the chief minister continues before it could accelerate further.

Taehyung's breath hitches as he clears his throat, "can I come in?"
Jungkook clears the space for Taehyung to enter inside his room.
It's a very traditional Korean palace room and dimly lit. Jungkook would love to spend a vacation here if he could.

Taehyung's breath hitches as he clears his throat, "can I come in?"
Jungkook clears the space for Taehyung to enter inside his room.
It's a very traditional Korean palace room and dimly lit. Jungkook would love to spend a vacation here if he could.
But he reminds himself constantly. This is a work trip. It is supposed to be a work trip.
Still. Still his brain malfunctions. His heart. His damned heart beats too fast. If earlier, he felt no emotions for anyone but Taehyung.
Now, it's completely different.
Still. Still his brain malfunctions. His heart. His damned heart beats too fast. If earlier, he felt no emotions for anyone but Taehyung.
Now, it's completely different.
He feels emotions but when Taehyung stands right in front of him, he loses control over any of those feelings.
He didn't even hesitate to let Taehyung in. Let Taehyung in the room. Or let Taehyung inside his heart. He never hesitated.
He loses when Taehyung is in front of him.

He lost Taehyung when he was right in front of him.
In his arms, he had to let go.
He lost his Taehyung at a cost of feeling these emotions that loses control over.
"How", Taehyung's voice breaks as he gulps. "How have you been?", His eyes are on the floor. Can't even look up.

"How", Taehyung's voice breaks as he gulps. "How have you been?", His eyes are on the floor. Can't even look up.
Can't even look at Jungkook or he will break into the cracked pieces he is.
Jungkook blinks. Even if he could feel. He doesn't know how he is. It's a weird question. What is he supposed to answer?
That he feels his hands are getting sweaty? And he feels hot in a simple tshirt?
Jungkook blinks. Even if he could feel. He doesn't know how he is. It's a weird question. What is he supposed to answer?
That he feels his hands are getting sweaty? And he feels hot in a simple tshirt?
The CEO folds his hands in front, trying to hide the sweaty palms. But his eyes never leave Taehyung.
Taehyung that stands in one corner of the room, doesn't dare to move or look up. And completely beating around the bush.
"Why are you here?" Jungkook questions. His voice sore.
Taehyung that stands in one corner of the room, doesn't dare to move or look up. And completely beating around the bush.
"Why are you here?" Jungkook questions. His voice sore.
It pinches Taehyung that he shivers for a moment. Why does it sound like Jungkook doesn't care anymore?
"I just wanted to talk", The King whispers with a sigh.
"Okay", the younger sits on his bed. He wants to talk to. He has his questions too. He needs some answers too.
"I just wanted to talk", The King whispers with a sigh.
"Okay", the younger sits on his bed. He wants to talk to. He has his questions too. He needs some answers too.
"D-do you remember?", Taehyung knows he remembers. But he wants to confirm it. He is dying to know this.
"Everything?"
Everything. Everything they shared. They had. Does Jungkook remember it?
"Everything", The CEO whispers. "Every tiny detail". He never forgot at all.
"Everything?"

"Everything", The CEO whispers. "Every tiny detail". He never forgot at all.
Taehyung bites his lips harder. He had cried nights for Jungkook to remember him. Not forget what they had. But when he would wake up, he also wanted Jungkook to forget it. And think Taehyung never existed.
But the king feels a sense of relief taking all over his body.
But the king feels a sense of relief taking all over his body.
He closes his eyes for a moment.
"Joon Hyung said that you would forget all your bad memories. Memories that would bring you pain"
Taehyung brought him pain. He was supposed to forget about Taehyung.
"I know", Jungkook rubs his palms on the hand to wipe all the sweat.
"Joon Hyung said that you would forget all your bad memories. Memories that would bring you pain"
Taehyung brought him pain. He was supposed to forget about Taehyung.
"I know", Jungkook rubs his palms on the hand to wipe all the sweat.
"Yoongi hyung told me everything. We don't hide things with each other"
There's guilt in Taehyung's eyes. The reason he can't look up. He hid things from Jungkook. Lied to Jungkook.
"But i didn't forget anything. Your Namjoon hyung was wrong for once. His theory wasn't correct"

"But i didn't forget anything. Your Namjoon hyung was wrong for once. His theory wasn't correct"
Taehyung nods. He hides his face in his palm. Jungkook's voice is a little harsher than usual.
"You remember everything, then why did you not-", Taehyung takes the rest from the wall, can't Even stand straight,
"why did you not reach out to me?",
"Taehyung, are you serious?"
"You remember everything, then why did you not-", Taehyung takes the rest from the wall, can't Even stand straight,
"why did you not reach out to me?",
"Taehyung, are you serious?"
"You went away. You asked me to let go, Tae. You lied. You-you bluffed"
Taehyung's heart stings. He feels the little pieces breaking everywhere. He hides his hands behind the back.
"I was hurt, Taehyung"
Taehyung would never admit how much he wanted to hear this. A tear falls.

Taehyung would never admit how much he wanted to hear this. A tear falls.
He lets a tear fall.
"I'm sorry", Taehyung's voice is soft and velvety.
"You weren't a bad memory, Tae. In fact, you were the only memories of mine that had colors in it. It hurts Taehyung" , Jungkook stopped looking at Taehyung a long time ago.
"I'm sorry", Taehyung's voice is soft and velvety.
"You weren't a bad memory, Tae. In fact, you were the only memories of mine that had colors in it. It hurts Taehyung" , Jungkook stopped looking at Taehyung a long time ago.
"It hurts that now that curse is broken, you don't need me anymore. You can have anyone you want", Jungkook's voice is lithe, bitter as he speaks.
"You, too, never reached out to me Taehyung"
In the past month, they never talked. Didn't contact at all. Not even a little bit.
"You, too, never reached out to me Taehyung"
In the past month, they never talked. Didn't contact at all. Not even a little bit.
The last update Taehyung had of Jungkook was from Namjoon. That he woke up and is alright. And that he could feel. The researcher left Seoul but never came back to Daegu after it.
Taehyung had assumed Jungkook forgot about him. Lost all of their shared memories. Started fresh.
Taehyung had assumed Jungkook forgot about him. Lost all of their shared memories. Started fresh.
The curse was transferred, after all.
"I'm sorry" Taehyung repeats again.
"I'm sorry that I had to lie to you. That I had to be the one hurting you. But i never-", The King finally stares in his front.
"I never lied to you about loving you"
"I'm sorry" Taehyung repeats again.
"I'm sorry that I had to lie to you. That I had to be the one hurting you. But i never-", The King finally stares in his front.
"I never lied to you about loving you"
"Jungkook-ah", Taehyung calls for him. Because Jungkook is there in the same room but he has his back on Taehyung. He is not facing the king.
"I have always loved you, Jungkook", Taehyung whispers.
"And how could I reach out to you when I was the one holding you back.."
"I have always loved you, Jungkook", Taehyung whispers.
"And how could I reach out to you when I was the one holding you back.."
Jungkook tilts his head. He can't face Taehyung or he would burst out of his emotions. He tilts slightly to hear Taehyung's explanation.
"I was getting your curse Jungkookie. I was the one setting you free. And even if I wanted to come back, I couldnt"
Taehyung bites his lips.
"I was getting your curse Jungkookie. I was the one setting you free. And even if I wanted to come back, I couldnt"
Taehyung bites his lips.
"You finally had the chance to feel. You could feel for anyone you wanted. And, i thought you already forgot about me.."
Jungkook scoffs. He turns around.
There's anger bubbling in his chest, pain in his heart,
"No Taehyung. I didn't forget shit. And the same goes for you"
Jungkook scoffs. He turns around.
There's anger bubbling in his chest, pain in his heart,
"No Taehyung. I didn't forget shit. And the same goes for you"
Jungkook's steps are hefty, as he comes and stands, right in front of Taehyung,
"You only suppressed the memories of your plan because you thought I could feel for you too. That I wasn't cursed."
The CEO's tone is high pitched, grave and dark,
"But guess what Tae. I did."
"You only suppressed the memories of your plan because you thought I could feel for you too. That I wasn't cursed."
The CEO's tone is high pitched, grave and dark,
"But guess what Tae. I did."
"I did feel for you. So much that you believed your own lies",
Lies that Jungkook could return his feelings like a normal human being.
But since when were they normal?
"I loved you so much Tae, that when you left, It completely shattered me", Jungkook's breath is heavy.
Lies that Jungkook could return his feelings like a normal human being.
But since when were they normal?
"I loved you so much Tae, that when you left, It completely shattered me", Jungkook's breath is heavy.
Taehyung blinks with his wet eyelashes. Jungkook is doing nothing, but spitting lies. Molding the truths that were left unsaid. That was twisted for no reason.
People wish love was perfect. Love was easy. But to love someone. It's like embracing all the pain.
People wish love was perfect. Love was easy. But to love someone. It's like embracing all the pain.
But, Jungkook unknowingly confessed to Taehyung. Even if, Taehyung knew it costs a loved one to break a heart. It was the first time, Jungkook verbally, told Taehyung that he loved him.
And Taehyung loves him.
"Tae, look at me", Jungkook's voice is too sharp.
And Taehyung loves him.
"Tae, look at me", Jungkook's voice is too sharp.
Taehyung trembles. "I'm sorry", he whispers again.
The CEO sighs. "Look at me, Taehyung"
The moment he looks up, Taehyung realises how close Jungkook is standing. How his hands are on the wall, caging him.
There's Jungkook right in front of him. Too close.
The CEO sighs. "Look at me, Taehyung"
The moment he looks up, Taehyung realises how close Jungkook is standing. How his hands are on the wall, caging him.
There's Jungkook right in front of him. Too close.
So close that Taehyung can clearly see Jungkook's eyes.
There's Taehyung in them. Among many stars. Glowing with him. But Taehyung looks cold in those eyes just because Jungkook's eyes don't hold enough warmth for him.
He lets those tears roll down his face.

He lets those tears roll down his face.
"I get it", Jungkook whispers. "I get why you had to hide a few things. Break my heart.."
"God, you made my best dream and worst nightmare got true on the same fucking day", Jungkook chuckles lightly.
"Love me and leave me? That's brutal, Tae"
The elder sniffles silently.
"God, you made my best dream and worst nightmare got true on the same fucking day", Jungkook chuckles lightly.
"Love me and leave me? That's brutal, Tae"
The elder sniffles silently.
"But who am I to complain? Tae. When I, too, made that deal even if it was fake, to bluff you? Lie to you?"
Taehyung's eyes find a scar on Jungkook's left cheek. It wasn't there before. His hand automatically reaches out to touch that scar.
"I have imagined so many times"
Taehyung's eyes find a scar on Jungkook's left cheek. It wasn't there before. His hand automatically reaches out to touch that scar.
"I have imagined so many times"
"Times when you'd find out that I couldn't feel pain. That you'd let go of me forever"
Jungkook shivers when Taehyung's warm hands touch that scar. The elder cups his cheek with his hand.
And Jungkook lets him.
"Surely, this was the last thing I could think of. But.."
Jungkook shivers when Taehyung's warm hands touch that scar. The elder cups his cheek with his hand.
And Jungkook lets him.
"Surely, this was the last thing I could think of. But.."
Jungkook gently strokes his face in Taehyung's hand. He missed his touch.
"But I was so selfish Tae. I didn't want to let you go. I didn't want to ever tell you that I don't feel"
Taehyung shakes his head. It's not true. "You always felt for me".
"I still broke your heart"
"But I was so selfish Tae. I didn't want to let you go. I didn't want to ever tell you that I don't feel"
Taehyung shakes his head. It's not true. "You always felt for me".
"I still broke your heart"
Taehyung swipes his thumb on that scar again and again. As if trying to vanish it, if he could. But that would never work.
"You know, Tae. If I was selfish for us. You were too selfless for us"
"I had no choice", Taehyung justifies that makes Jungkook grin dumbly.
"You know, Tae. If I was selfish for us. You were too selfless for us"
"I had no choice", Taehyung justifies that makes Jungkook grin dumbly.
No choice but to let go of each other for their own sake. And then never come back, even if you don't sleep at night, even if you regret every second you breathe. There was no looking back.
A selfless king. A selfish CEO.
"Then why are we still broken,Tae?"
A selfless king. A selfish CEO.
"Then why are we still broken,Tae?"
Why? If the curse is completely transferred. Taehyung still loves Jungkook. Jungkook came back for Taehyung. Why are they still not together like before?
"You are free to feel for anyone you want", Taehyung answers, choking on his own words.
"Yeah?", Jungkook shifts closer.
"You are free to feel for anyone you want", Taehyung answers, choking on his own words.
"Yeah?", Jungkook shifts closer.
Jungkook pokes their nose together,
"Then you are free to have anyone you want"
Jungkook takes a step back with a smirk, as his phone starts ringing in his pocket. He takes another step back and then another, going outside to answer the call.
Taehyung blinks at the moment.

Taehyung blinks at the moment.
He feels cold. Jungkook was so close. But Taehyung feels empty. He then, only realises, he had stopped crying a long time ago.
And the only reason he didn't feel anxious and stopped sobbing, was the comforting circles that Jungkook was making on Taehyung's waist.
And the only reason he didn't feel anxious and stopped sobbing, was the comforting circles that Jungkook was making on Taehyung's waist.
He realised Jungkook was comforting him. He was always holding onto him. But Taehyung let him go. Just like now too, Taehyung let him go again.
Jungkook is not mad at him. But he wants Taehyung to come for him. To be selflessly selfish for them. And never let each other go.

"You", Taehyung walks faster, as his eyes narrow. "You stand there", he runs until the end of the palace corridor, with a big pout on his face.
Ever since Taehyung got to know in the morning that Namjoon returned back to Daegu. He has been furious.

Ever since Taehyung got to know in the morning that Namjoon returned back to Daegu. He has been furious.
"Kim Namjoon hyung", Taehyung lightly hits Namjoon on his chest. And then punch him, "why didn't you", another light hit, "why didn't you tell me he remembered", he punches him again
There's a huge smile on Namjoon's face. And the next moment, he is embracing Taehyung in a hug.
There's a huge smile on Namjoon's face. And the next moment, he is embracing Taehyung in a hug.
"i thought he forgot about me", Taehyung forces as he tries to hit his chest again. "Now he thinks I didn't", he tries to break the hug, "reach out to him and I'm"
But Namjoon is strong.
"I get why people call you a bear", Namjoon chuckles.
But Namjoon is strong.
"I get why people call you a bear", Namjoon chuckles.
Taehyung's warm. His warmth is infectious in a good way.
"I'm not a touchy person but I have always wanted to hug you", Namjoon rubs his back.
They have been friends for eight years and it's the first time Namjoon has touched Taehyung.
And it took a lot of time to feel it.
"I'm not a touchy person but I have always wanted to hug you", Namjoon rubs his back.
They have been friends for eight years and it's the first time Namjoon has touched Taehyung.
And it took a lot of time to feel it.
In a way, Taehyung touching people is Namjoon's success. The researcher was successful, after all.
Namjoon feels his success after so long.
Taehyung closes his eyes on the realisation. He sighs in the elder's embrace. He waited for this moment too.
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you"
Namjoon feels his success after so long.
Taehyung closes his eyes on the realisation. He sighs in the elder's embrace. He waited for this moment too.
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you"
"I didn't tell you he remembered", The researcher breaks the hug but his hands remain on Taehyung's arms.
Taehyung pouts again. He is not angry per se. But he is fuming with curiosity.
"I-", Namjoon hisses when his eyes crinkle as he laughs at himself.
"I was completely wrong"
Taehyung pouts again. He is not angry per se. But he is fuming with curiosity.
"I-", Namjoon hisses when his eyes crinkle as he laughs at himself.
"I was completely wrong"
"You know. When I had to remind you about the plan and stuff. And you didn't want to believe me that Jungkook couldn't feel any emotions. I thought you forgot about it because it brought you pain to think your feelings won't be returned"
Taehyung nods. He couldn't believe it.
Taehyung nods. He couldn't believe it.
There was no reason to believe that Jungkook couldn't feel.
"And my big brain thought- if you forgot, Jungkook wouldn't remember the things that brought him pain too", the researcher sighs.
"But that never happened. He remembered everything about you. Even your little moles"
"And my big brain thought- if you forgot, Jungkook wouldn't remember the things that brought him pain too", the researcher sighs.
"But that never happened. He remembered everything about you. Even your little moles"
"I was wrong and that day, I only realised there's always", Namjoon is staring at the park next to the palace
"So much more to both of you"
Taehyung bites his lips. If Jungkook and Taehyung know each other. Kim Namjoon knows both of them.
"I mean, you guys shared a lot."
"So much more to both of you"
Taehyung bites his lips. If Jungkook and Taehyung know each other. Kim Namjoon knows both of them.
"I mean, you guys shared a lot."
"A lot more than I could see. I just focused on the physical signs. On your bodies. And transfer of curses"
"Hyung",Taehyung politely says when he sees Namjoon sighing again and again.
"What I'm saying is Tae, I never told you Jungkook remembered it was my one last experiment"
"Hyung",Taehyung politely says when he sees Namjoon sighing again and again.
"What I'm saying is Tae, I never told you Jungkook remembered it was my one last experiment"
Taehyung's body sags. He shuts his eyes for a second as he hisses.
Kim Namjoon and his experiments and his theories.
"You see Tae, you didn't want to act according to the plan or hell, even suppressing the part that Jungkook couldn't feel, only because you knew. It wasn't true"
Kim Namjoon and his experiments and his theories.
"You see Tae, you didn't want to act according to the plan or hell, even suppressing the part that Jungkook couldn't feel, only because you knew. It wasn't true"
"Jungkook felt things around you. Even if a little bit, you knew Jungkook could feel. And the same goes for him, he remembers you because you are no bad memories for him. Probably, the best ones he lived. And that's one where I got it wrong"
"And I'm glad i was wrong"
"And I'm glad i was wrong"
"Hyung, what are you implying?", Taehyung gulps.
"I- I am just saying, I am just a researcher. I made mistakes too. I only focused on the transfer of curses when the fact was, you too shared a lot more than that. You both are.. let's just say connected. In a lot of ways"
"I- I am just saying, I am just a researcher. I made mistakes too. I only focused on the transfer of curses when the fact was, you too shared a lot more than that. You both are.. let's just say connected. In a lot of ways"
"I never told you Jungkook remembered. Because I knew, if I did you'd run back to him. Also, when Jungk woke up, the first thing he asked was about you"
Taehyung shivers.
"But Tae, I stepped back. I didn't want to intervene at all. And that was the experiment"
Taehyung shivers.
"But Tae, I stepped back. I didn't want to intervene at all. And that was the experiment"
"I didn't want to be the one telling you he remembered. Because when I got it wrong, I realised it's not just me and my research that got you both together."
"There's probably destiny?", Namjoon emphasizes, "Or the love you share? Your heartbeats? Whatever it is"
"There's probably destiny?", Namjoon emphasizes, "Or the love you share? Your heartbeats? Whatever it is"
"Jungkook is in Daegu. You know he remembers everything. And I didn't play any role in it. You two found your way to each other yourself"
They were like missing puzzles. They were meant to fit together. Namjoon was just joining them. But they fitted on their own.
They were like missing puzzles. They were meant to fit together. Namjoon was just joining them. But they fitted on their own.
"You know, that's somehow my biggest discovery. But Yoongi hyung figured it all before me" Namjoon chuckles
"That intellectual man believed in the love you guys shared. He knew you both would be hurting to leave each other. But still, be connected in a lot of ways"
"That intellectual man believed in the love you guys shared. He knew you both would be hurting to leave each other. But still, be connected in a lot of ways"
"ugh", Namjoon sighs again. "Science can never explain love. But Humans could"
"And i think that's the most beautiful part of this research", Namjoon's eyes crinkle in a smile.
He finally concluded his research.
"We are not together", Taehyung gulps.
"I let him go"
"And i think that's the most beautiful part of this research", Namjoon's eyes crinkle in a smile.
He finally concluded his research.
"We are not together", Taehyung gulps.
"I let him go"
"Then hold him again?", Namjoon suggests.
"Hyung, we were only together because of the curses. And now he's free. Hyung I'm-"
"Tae? Were you only with him because of the curse?"
That's what Namjoon has been trying to convey. They had so much more than the curse.
"Hyung, we were only together because of the curses. And now he's free. Hyung I'm-"
"Tae? Were you only with him because of the curse?"
That's what Namjoon has been trying to convey. They had so much more than the curse.
But for Taehyung, all his life, he was bound with it. He had to let go of everything. After all, if he would hold them with those hands, it could get hurt.
"No hyung. I love him. And I want to be with him",
Namjoon smiles. Taehyung has always been honest with his feelings.
"No hyung. I love him. And I want to be with him",
Namjoon smiles. Taehyung has always been honest with his feelings.
At least with the researcher, Taehyung has always conveyed what he felt. He remembers, when the younger told him, he loves Jungkook on the terrace.
"Tae, I don't think there's any need to tell you what to do. But you know, when Jungkook woke up that day..."
"Tae, I don't think there's any need to tell you what to do. But you know, when Jungkook woke up that day..."
"He wanted nothing but you. And I think you know, Jungkook gets what he wants",
"He said he loved me", Taehyung whispers.
"He did?", Namjoon smiles brightly. Jungkook feels emotions and conveys it? That's another successful story.
"Yeah..In heat of the moment but he did"
"He said he loved me", Taehyung whispers.
"He did?", Namjoon smiles brightly. Jungkook feels emotions and conveys it? That's another successful story.
"Yeah..In heat of the moment but he did"
"You know..me and Yoongi hyung fought one day. Over you guys. It's funny. But.. I think he won"
Taehyung turns his face to the side, when Namjoon side hugs and they start walking in the palace corridor,
"I wanted freedom for you both. He wanted happiness and i think you too"
Taehyung turns his face to the side, when Namjoon side hugs and they start walking in the palace corridor,
"I wanted freedom for you both. He wanted happiness and i think you too"
"You both want each other to be happy. Even if, you aren't together like you used to."
"But.. as I said", Namjoon finds it adorable. No matter how complex the things could be, all that matters is, those little feelings.
"You both will find each other in the end"
"But.. as I said", Namjoon finds it adorable. No matter how complex the things could be, all that matters is, those little feelings.
"You both will find each other in the end"
"Only because you two are each other's happiness"
Taehyung stills in his mind. All his life, he had been conscious of himself. He thought, he had no right to want things. After all, he would always hurt them. But now. He can. He can have his wants.
So when he asks his heart?
Taehyung stills in his mind. All his life, he had been conscious of himself. He thought, he had no right to want things. After all, he would always hurt them. But now. He can. He can have his wants.
So when he asks his heart?
His heart echoes. He wants Jungkook. Jungkook and his happiness.
"Don't hold yourself back, Tae. You're free to have whatever you want"
Jungkook had told him the same thing last night. And Taehyung knows, he doesn't want anything more than Jeon Jungkook, his husband.

"And god. Look at those eye bags. Did you not sleep at night?", Namjoon chuckles.
Taehyung didn't. How could he? When his Jungkookie confessed to him out of nowhere.
"Where were you since last month?"
Taehyung didn't. How could he? When his Jungkookie confessed to him out of nowhere.
"Where were you since last month?"
"Oh~~", Namjoon's face lightens,
"Travelled Europe with my sister"
Taehyung shakes his head as he smacks Namjoon jokingly,
"So you were enjoying, leaving us like this?"
"Hey? Come on, I needed a break too. Beside, you guys are good on your own"
"No need of me"
Taehyung smiles.

"I think that's all I have to show you guys", Taehyung smiles as he turns around to face, he estimates at least twenty people.
There's Jungkook and Seojoon with their team and Namjoon and Jimin on the side as well.
He doesn't try to meet those doe eyes.

There's Jungkook and Seojoon with their team and Namjoon and Jimin on the side as well.
He doesn't try to meet those doe eyes.
"You all can spread around and start working as you like", he courteously bows.
Everybody disperses including Seojoon and his team. Even Namjoon and Jimin found a cute dog nearby and went to meet it again.
The prince, now King, smiles to himself. It's tough duty but it's nice.

Until he is helping his people. He's doing a great job.
There are people working and talking around him, so passionate for their project. Giving their best.
Taehyung sighs to himself. Even if he is not passionate about being a king, he is giving his best.

Taehyung watches around, admiring, until his eyes find Jeon Jungkook.
The CEO is standing in one corner, typing something on his phone.
He is wearing a beanie, rather comfortable clothes, than his usual CEO suit. He looks comfortable like this. Soft and warm. Home.

And Taehyung has always craved for a home. He walks towards him. His legs move on his own.
The king shivers when he halts right in front of him. He feels an adrenaline rush happening inside his body.
Taehyung tries to calm his nerves down. It's just his husband, after all.

"Aren't",Taehyung's voice cracks as he clears his throat, "Aren't you working?"
Jungkook looks up, closing his phone and keeping it back inside his pocket.
"Oh we already worked on the layout. We came earlier than all of you to have a set up idea", It's not Jungkook who speaks.
Jungkook looks up, closing his phone and keeping it back inside his pocket.
"Oh we already worked on the layout. We came earlier than all of you to have a set up idea", It's not Jungkook who speaks.
It's a female next to Jungkook. He is wearing working formals, and has her hair professionally tied.
Taehyung stares at Jungkook who stares at him back. But Jungkook doesn't answer his question.
The king turns around to the lady next to him,
"And you must be..?", He asks.
Taehyung stares at Jungkook who stares at him back. But Jungkook doesn't answer his question.
The king turns around to the lady next to him,
"And you must be..?", He asks.
The woman bows, "I'm Jung Sera. Jungkook-ssi's manager", she introduces herself with a smile.
Confusion bubbles on Taehyung's face. He juts his lips, "Wasn't Hoseok hyung your manager?", The king turns to look at Jungkook again, expecting him to answer this time.

"He got work in Seoul", Jungkook's voice is monotonous, "You know, Jeon corporations are pretty busy"
"Hoseok-ssi was supposed to be here, however, the business trip was on such short notice, that I had to accompany Jungkook-ssi. I am not even qualified for a manager but I'm-"
"Hoseok-ssi was supposed to be here, however, the business trip was on such short notice, that I had to accompany Jungkook-ssi. I am not even qualified for a manager but I'm-"
Taehyung cuts her in between when he notices something,
"Did you cut your hair, Jungkook-ah?"
"Oh yes. Jungkook-ssi keeps complaining how his hair hides his eyes, so I scheduled a hair cut before coming here. I think Jungkook-ssi, looks handsome like this"
Taehyung stares.
"Did you cut your hair, Jungkook-ah?"
"Oh yes. Jungkook-ssi keeps complaining how his hair hides his eyes, so I scheduled a hair cut before coming here. I think Jungkook-ssi, looks handsome like this"
Taehyung stares.
Jung Sera speaks a lot for a manager. It irks Taehyung but he only waits for Jungkook to speak something.
But the CEO never does, he only shrugs.
"I liked your long hair", Taehyung whispers more to himself. He feels dumb. He was just here to have a small conversation.

He thought baby steps could help. But they share too long history, and too complicated history, to have baby steps and go back to what they were.
"Taehyung-ah", There's Seojoon's voice from afar.
"Look there's so much space for a warehouse"
The king blinks.

"Also, Taehyung-ssi. I must mention, I'm a very huge fan of Winter Bear. Your voice is so comforting. Even you are pretty!! So much I hope you keep making amazing-"
"He left", Jungkook sighs.
Jung Sera stops speaking when he stares in front of her. There was no one there.
"He left", Jungkook sighs.

Jungkook takes a deep breath. He faces his new manager,
"Next time. Don't speak up for me, okay?", He politely commands.
Old Jungkook would have fired her already. That emotionless robot wouldn't care that she lacked experience for a manager.
"Also, I'm his biggest fan"

The dog shifts his head from Taehyung to Jungkook, demanding more head pats.
Jungkook takes a seat next to Taehyung, as he starts rubbing the dog's ears, making it purr.
It makes the younger smile. The dog's too cute to get ignored.

Jungkook looks up, laughing at how the dog wags his tail, he finds Taehyung watching their interaction with a soft grin.
For a moment, it would look like a normal couple playing with a random dog. But they are not normal.
Jungkook stops laughing. Taehyung's smile vanishes too.

"Let's go?", Jungkook asks, standing up after giving one last massage to the dog.
But with lack of response, he turns around to find Taehyung staring at him. And then his hands. That were, once, cursed.
Jungkook sighs, "You know, you got lost here?"
Aren't they both lost?

Taehyung turns to look around. He was supposed to meet Mimi and Joon hyung and the dog.
But instead there's a tiny cottage nearby, Jeon Jungkook and a dog.
The king's mouth remains agape. He is actually lost if it wasn't for Jungkook.
"I- I'll call the guards"

It hurts Jungkook's ego. A little bit. He won't admit it,
"I can take you back safe and sound, king", Jungkook scoffs.
"But", Taehyung looks at the dog playing with his pants.
"Besides it's going to rain soon, we should head back before it or else it can be risky"

Hill roads can be slippery if it rains, and they have a climbing hill this time. Jungkook can't risk getting anyone hurt.
Taehyung sighs. Nodding, he stands up too, but before that, he lets the dog lick his face as a good bye.
The CEO pokes his cheek with his tongue.
"Here"

Taehyung blinks. His heart races for a moment, Jungkook is offering to hold his hand.
It vividly reminds Taehyung of the first time, Jungkook had offered his hand to hold. Taehyung was scared he'll get hurt with his touch. But that never happened.
Why is he scared now?

Taehyung closes his eyes for a moment. He tries to keep his breaths at bay.
But then there are warm fingers slipping in his cold slender hands. It gives butterflies to the elder.
Taehyung opens his eyes to find Jungkook's doe ones directly looking at him.
"Okay so.."

Jungkook turns his eyes to the roads. There are two paths in front of them,
"We need to take five rights and two lefts", The CEO instructs.
But nobody moves. Not Jungkook. Not Taehyung. Not the trees with the wind. The dog stares at them too from one place.
It's just crickets.

Cricket noises in the background.
Taehyung bites a laugh, "Jungkook-ah", the younger clutches their intertwined fingers, a little nervous.
But then Taehyung's smiling, "you don't remember the way, do you?"
Jungkook opens his mouth to say something. But he's too embarrassed.

"I did. Five lefts and two rights"
"Five rights and two lefts", Taehyung corrects him.
Jungkook sighs, kicking the ground,
"I just don't remember where the left and right were"
"sorry", Jungkook whispers.
"i didn't want to go back, anyways", Taehyung whispers back to him.

Taehyung leads their way this time, back towards the dog, their hands still joined together.
"Why?", Jungkook questions, curious,
"Why didn't you want to go back"
Taehyung starts playing with the dog again, "because I'll have to act all courteous and fake smile and greet and-"

"do the king stuff?", Jungkook tries to complete for him.
"pretend to be happy",Taehyung answers back, as he smiles when the dog jumps on him.
Jungkook is taken aback. He pretends a lot too in front of his employees. All strong and macho. But he's not that. Not just that.

Jungkook is taken aback. He pretends a lot too in front of his employees. All strong and macho. But he's not that. Not just that.
He pretends a lot too. And maybe he's pretending in front of Taehyung too, acting all I know it all, or I'm still angry.
When all he wants is to be the reason for Taehyung's smiles.
"Won't they be worried?", Jungkook asks, referring to the people. The guards. The palace.

"Na",Taehyung cooes, and then he's leaving Jungkook's hand to play with the dog.
Jungkook chases for the warm hold for a moment, until he hears Taehyung,
"They're probably thinking I'm just chilling with my husband. Aigoo~", Taehyung kisses the dog,
"Spending some time together"

"Are you?", The CEO asks the question spontaneously which makes Taehyung look back at him.
They both are staring at each other. Taehyung's silence says a lot more than what they have actually talked about. And there's Jungkook digging a pit for himself.
"I'll call the hyungs"

Jungkook walks near the empty cottage to find it's locked. He enters the open verandah of the cottage.
"Fuck. What is wrong with us-", Jungkook curses himself as he opens his chat box to tell people about their whereabouts.
The CEO hears tiny water droplets in the next moment.

But Taehyung's running around while the dog follows him. He's laughing too hard in the rain. He's laughing but Jungkook is swooned.
"You should join us, Jungkook-ah"

"You should join us, Jungkook-ah"
Jungkook wants to. But looking at Taehyung, being free, this is beautiful. Jungkook likes his view. It gives him a sense of pride, that now, Taehyung can do anything he wants.
And if he chooses to dance in the rain with a random doggo. Jungkook feels his eyes are blessed.

"Tae, the rain is getting heavier", Jungkook reverts back. It's true, it started to drizzle but now it's completely pouring and it doesn't look like it's going to stop anytime soon.
"But it's so much fun Jungkook", Taehyung shouts, "we should get a dog too",
Jungkook smiles.

We. There's still a we. There has always been a we.
At times, the line blurs. They aren't broken. Still together.
The sky lightens with a peal of thunder. The clouds storm together. Taehyung stands still for a moment as the dog starts barking too on the thunderclap.

And then they both are returning to the verandah, where Jungkook stands.
It makes the CEO laugh, his eyes crinkle how they get waddle inside.
It's funny how he was telling them to get inside a moment ago, but they were so busy playing and not realising a storm is on their way.

"Take this", there's Jungkook handling over his full sleeves sweatshirt to Taehyung who's busy ruffling his hair and getting off the excess water.
Taehyung turns around, a little amused, there's Jungkook now, in a half sleeve t-shirt rather than his oversized sweatshirt.

Jeon Jungkook with his tattooed hands, and a tshirt that sticks to his skin, showing off the chiselled abs completely.

"Thank you", Taehyung whispers.

Taehyung's blushing.

Jungkook has always been so caring. Looking after Taehyung. To an extent, he brought a brand new piano for him. He always made sure Taehyung was comfortable.
"Won't you turn around?", Taehyung asks, playing a little.
"Turn around?", Jungkook's pitch is high, "why would I?"
"Won't you turn around?", Taehyung asks, playing a little.
"Turn around?", Jungkook's pitch is high, "why would I?"
"I mean I'm your husband. And I have seen you change your clothes-"
He is nervous,He imagined it in the head. When Taehyung will return, he'll offer him his sweatshirt like a cool dude. Better than any Park.
"I'll turn around if you want me to"
See? That's what Taehyung meant.

See? That's what Taehyung meant.
He has always priorities Taehyung and Taehyung's opinions before anything.
"It's okay", Taehyung starts changing clothes, "You can see", he smiles to himself.
"But I'm pretty sure, I don't have hot abs like you-"
"You have a cute stomach though"
"It's okay", Taehyung starts changing clothes, "You can see", he smiles to himself.

"You have a cute stomach though"
Taehyung stops midway. He knows Jungkook is staring. But it's Jungkook's non stop compliments that make Taehyung blush.
"And I don't look that cool when I remove my clothes", Taehyung completes his sentence, already putting Jungkook's sweatshirt eagerly.
"But your skin glows"
"And I don't look that cool when I remove my clothes", Taehyung completes his sentence, already putting Jungkook's sweatshirt eagerly.

Taehyung stands in front of Jungkook and in his sweatshirt. Jungkook wets his lips, momentarily checking him out.
"Come here", Jungkook commands softly and The King complies without any complaints.
And then the younger is ruffling Taehyung's hair and sleeking it back.

And then the younger is ruffling Taehyung's hair and sleeking it back.
"Do you want my beanie?", Jungkook is already removing it from his head. How could he not? Have you seen Taehyung in his clothes. He looks like an art. Jungkook can look at him for hours. No. Years. Every second of his life.
"What if you catch a cold?"
"What if you catch a cold?"
"oh,Tae... You know it. I can't catch a cold~", Jungkook is laughing.
Times like this. When Taehyung is just a second away from his arms. They are so close. So warm. Feeling every little second of each other.
"And even if I do, I can heal myse-"
Jungkook stops speaking.

Even if at the moment, everything feels normal. Like they were before. In each other's arms. Always so close. Feeling every little second of each other.
So many things have changed.
And they have been hesitant to talk about them. They are together but not like they used to.

Jungkook can feel Taehyung's breath getting heavier at the moment. The elder wipes his tongue on his upper lip.
"Tae", Jungkook whispers.
But Taehyung only takes hold of the Jungkook's beanie and puts it back on his head,
"We can't let you get cold too, Mr. CEO"
"Tae", Jungkook whispers.
But Taehyung only takes hold of the Jungkook's beanie and puts it back on his head,
"We can't let you get cold too, Mr. CEO"
Taehyung smiles to the younger, putting a single strand of hair behind his ears.
"I was-"
And then he's pushing himself back, getting away from Jungkook. The king takes a seat on the floor of the verandah. He sighs, supporting his back with the wall.
"Tae, I didn't mean to-"
"I was-"
And then he's pushing himself back, getting away from Jungkook. The king takes a seat on the floor of the verandah. He sighs, supporting his back with the wall.
"Tae, I didn't mean to-"
"Come here, Jungkook-ah", Taehyung pats the seat next to him on the empty floor.
Jungkook sighs, still pouting but walking heftily to grab that seat.
Jungkook notices there's nothing but greenery in front. Tons of bushes and trees. And dark, grey clouds. That thunder too loud.

Jungkook notices there's nothing but greenery in front. Tons of bushes and trees. And dark, grey clouds. That thunder too loud.
But there's a shed above them. A furry dog that lays around their feet. Jungkook turns to his left, to find Taehyung is already looking at him.
"We can't get out of here anytime soon", Taehyung's body shrugs as he shows Jungkook the notification on his screen.
"We can't get out of here anytime soon", Taehyung's body shrugs as he shows Jungkook the notification on his screen.
Jungkook blinks at the phone screen. If no-one is allowed to go out, that, means nobody can come here to pick them up.
"It's directly from the government" Taehyung sighs.
The king has to oblige too if the government orders.
"I didn't want to go back either" Jungkook confesses.
"It's directly from the government" Taehyung sighs.
The king has to oblige too if the government orders.
"I didn't want to go back either" Jungkook confesses.
Taehyung closes his eyes. If they were together, he would have teased Jungkook about not remembering the way. But right now, he feels grateful. Jungkook wanted to stay as well.
"Yeah?", He Snickers softly, "then you're stuck with me"
Jungkook doesn't answer him back.
"Yeah?", He Snickers softly, "then you're stuck with me"
Jungkook doesn't answer him back.
The cloud rumbles out of nowhere, startling them both a little. The sky lightens with bold thunder bolts.
"Tae", Jungkook gulps, "Do you have some songs? My phone is at one percent"
Jungkook is not scared per se. But he doesn't like loud noises. Too many lights. Strong smells.
"Tae", Jungkook gulps, "Do you have some songs? My phone is at one percent"
Jungkook is not scared per se. But he doesn't like loud noises. Too many lights. Strong smells.
And to be lost in a hill forest, next to an empty cottage, doesn't sound too good.
"I-uh yeah. There's one", Taehyung hesitates to play but when Jungkook shifts a little closer,
"It's a cover song I recorded. But it's not that great so I- but If you want. I can-"
"I-uh yeah. There's one", Taehyung hesitates to play but when Jungkook shifts a little closer,
"It's a cover song I recorded. But it's not that great so I- but If you want. I can-"
Jungkook's doe eyes are on him, looking at him expectantly.
"Will I say no to your singing?"
Taehyung feels his body heating as he defeatedly clicks the play button.
He shifts closer, keeping the phone in the middle.
"Nice"
"It didn't even start"
The dog lays closer too.

"so beautiful", Jungkook remarks again. He just sung two lines.
Taehyung gives him a knowing look. Jungkook and his tactics. But a soft smile appears on his face when he notices Jungkook is staring at him.
"I gave you so many chances", Taehyung whispers which makes him blink.

Jungkook never told Taehyung until on their sixth month anniversary.
"I have urged you to kiss me. So many times. Wanted you so close. But you never crossed any lines.."
Jungkook never told Taehyung until on their sixth month anniversary.
"I have urged you to kiss me. So many times. Wanted you so close. But you never crossed any lines.."
Taehyung had made his fair share of moves. Jungkook remembers them. Because he too, so many times, wanted to cross all the lines.
"I wanted to delude myself that you don't like me that much of maybe-"
"I wanted to kiss you after I could feel", Jungkook answers honestly.
"I wanted to delude myself that you don't like me that much of maybe-"
"I wanted to kiss you after I could feel", Jungkook answers honestly.
Taehyung bites his lips.
"Wanted to do that first thing, after the curses transfer. Feel you.."
The first thing Jungkook actually felt after the curses, was a heart break. Pain.
"I have pretended all my life, Tae. Because that's all I knew. Act indifferent to everyone"

The CEO takes Taehyung's hand slowly, as he places it on his chest. Right where his heart is.
"Can you feel it?", Jungkook questions.
Taehyung nods. Jungkook's heart is pacing. Almost too fast.
"It beats uncontrollably around you. I lose my mind, Taehyung. I get out of words"

"Earlier, I couldn't even hear my own heart, Taehyung. But now, it doesn't stop. It beats and with every beat it reminds me of you..", Jungkook clenches on the elder's hand on his chest.
"And this is not just it, Tae. I'm-"

"And this is not just it, Tae. I'm-"
"I- I get those damn butterflies now, Taehyung. I don't think it's normal. Even if someone mentions your name, I feel..", Jungkook shivers consciously, trying to explain what he meant.
"I feel it all"
"I feel everything, and somehow it's all connected to you, Taehyung"

Taehyung remembers asking Jungkook if he could feel those butterflies. It was a test. A test that Jungkook would tell him he feels nothing.
But Jungkook never answered his question then. He waited for this moment. The elder wants to hide. He feels his eyes getting wet.
"Tae", Jungkook calls for him politely,
The elder's lips wobble when Jungkook smiles at him, "I know you are scared. You don't talk to me completely"

The elder's lips wobble when Jungkook smiles at him, "I know you are scared. You don't talk to me completely"
Jungkook sighs when he notices a tear roll down on Taehyung's cheek,
"But if you could tell, what are you scared of?", The younger would try his best to rectify any fear. He just wants to know. What Taehyung is thinking.
What Taehyung is feeling.
"I don't want to hurt you"

What Taehyung is feeling.
"I don't want to hurt you"
Kim Taehyung has been a man of experience. And all his life, he had experienced hurting people with his touch. All his closer ones, he'd hurt them.
"I don't want to hurt you. I can't afford to hurt you again", Taehyung lets out a sob.
He had hurt others, yes. Physically. But+
"I don't want to hurt you. I can't afford to hurt you again", Taehyung lets out a sob.
He had hurt others, yes. Physically. But+
+with Jungkook. He had to break him emotionally. Doesn't matter, what his intentions were.
Taehyung did that once. Taehyung has the power to do it again.
"If I kiss you. Ask you to come back. Get closer. I'll be so selfish, Jungkook-ie. I'm not- what if"
What ifs.
Taehyung did that once. Taehyung has the power to do it again.
"If I kiss you. Ask you to come back. Get closer. I'll be so selfish, Jungkook-ie. I'm not- what if"
What ifs.
There are always so many whats and so many ifs. And they will never have any answers to them.
But Taehyung has been a man of experience. He'd hurt his mother. His best friend. Yoongi hyung. And so much more. But the worst, he'd hurt the only thing he loves so much.
His husband.

His husband.
And what if he hurts him again?
Jungkook has no answer to what ifs. He can't see the future. But he's been there with Taehyung, knowing how he dealt with, whenever he touched someone. How much he loathes himself, hides himself away from everything. He is losing from both ends.

"Tae, the moon and stars", Jungkook stares at the sky, "don't they look good together?"
"They aren't together. Too far away in space and time", Taehyung mutters, hiding his face in his knees.
Jungkook sighs. It's true. In science. But who gives a damn about science?

Jungkook sighs. It's true. In science. But who gives a damn about science?
"You know, last month, I used to look at the night sky. Thinking, at least we are under the same stars and moon", Jungkook mentions sincerely.
"But you know, I'm a little scared too"
Taehyung turns his face on the side, noticing Jungkook is looking outside and not at him.
"Of?"
"But you know, I'm a little scared too"
Taehyung turns his face on the side, noticing Jungkook is looking outside and not at him.
"Of?"
Jungkook sighs, "the sun"
Oh the hot and brutal sun.
"When the sun comes up, the stars and moon will vanish. Isn't that sad, Tae?", Jungkook pouts.
"But aren't we all under the same sun as well?", Taehyung questions innocently.
Jungkook smiles. His bunny teeth are crinkling.

"Exactly", Jungkook faces Taehyung.
The younger shifts closer. "No matter, sun or moon, if we are still looking at the sky"
"No matter, if you hurt me, or I hurt you, if we are together, Tae",
"And what if no one looks at the sky?"
Jungkook laughs. Heartily. A what if.

Jungkook is staying. Taehyung wants to stay. And never leave. What is there to be scared of?
Taehyung points out in the sky,
"There's no stars, moon and Sun in the sky", he whispers.
It's raining. There are heavy clouds and thunderstorms. No sight of anything else.

There's nothing to look at in the sky. But Taehyung and Jungkook are still looking at it.
"This song doesn't have a happy ending. The singer didn't have the courage to tell his lover...", Taehyung whispers. "They couldn't be together"
The song is called Rewrite the stars.
"This song doesn't have a happy ending. The singer didn't have the courage to tell his lover...", Taehyung whispers. "They couldn't be together"
The song is called Rewrite the stars.
But right now, Taehyung is covering that song. He's the one singing it.
Then it should be the story about him and his lover.
"Are we like other couples?", Jungkook states as a matter of fact. They aren't. They were never like other couples.
They can't be like others.

"Are we like other couples?", Jungkook states as a matter of fact. They aren't. They were never like other couples.
They can't be like others.
The curse got broken. And they have the chance to rewrite their story.
Jungkook doesn't need to pretend anymore that he feels. That he was not emotionless. Taehyung can't hurt others. He can't hurt Jungkook until he keeps looking at the sky. Until he keeps painting the sky.
Jungkook doesn't need to pretend anymore that he feels. That he was not emotionless. Taehyung can't hurt others. He can't hurt Jungkook until he keeps looking at the sky. Until he keeps painting the sky.
Because even if they are rewriting their story, Jungkook is there to comfort him. And Taehyung? Taehyung breaks all his insecurities and is ready to be selfish for himself. For Jungkook. He won't let him feel useless again. He will paint the sky everyday for them to look at.
Taehyung smiles when a vivid memory unlocks, one night, when Jungkook called the constellations as Taehyung's scars.
Those scars are healed. The sky tonight, has no stars in it. It's time they rewrites those stars then.
"Can I kiss your scar, Jungkook?", Taehyung whispers.

Just because T had a plan, didn't mean all his life he didn't suffer. Alsoo, wanted to show the fact that, even if J didn't feel, he always knew what exact words he should use with T😞 and T who wouldn't ask for what he wants all his life finally does 🙋
Jimin gulps. He hugs Taehyung again.
"Fine. Only because of you"
The younger caresses his back,
"No mimi. Do it for yourself. You left him for me, you lied to him for me. But, this time. Do it for yourself"

Jimin has got his life around Taehyung too. His dear best friend, his little alien, that feels a lot, that says a lot not asking for anything in return.
But Jimin has always been someone who gives too. So he gave everything he had to Taehyung. Share everything with him.

But there's something he only wants for himself. And he was a little scared to chase it. Until now. Until that he knows, his best friend, his little alien is happy. Finally happy, and is asking something in return for the first time.
"Okay", Jimin smiles in their embrace.

"Uh? Where's the cat?", Yoongi asks, confused as hell. Because there's only Jimin in front of him.

Yoongi blinks. And blinks.

Jimin bites his lips in anticipation, but Yoongi gives no reaction to his failed pick up line at the moment.
"Didn't work?", He confirms.
Yoongi shakes his head, "no",

He doesn't hold back anymore, when he sits on Jimin's bed.
"Did he ask you to try this?",
"Yeah", Jimin sighs, didn't think he'll fail this miserably as he sits next to Yoongi.

"They have always been the happiest when together",

"What about you?",the elder questions.
When has Jimin been the happiest?
"Sitting next to you, knowing everyone is doing okay", Jimin answers honestly. He's happy if everyone else is.
Jimin smiles when Yoongi hums.

Yoongi sighs. People who let their happiness reside in others. They get so hurt easily. Always trying to please all of them.
Yoongi slides his hand on Jimin's cheek, gently helping him rest his head on Yoongi's shoulder.
Jimin closes his eyes.
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you"

Jimin wraps his arms around him.

He grunts, trying to push the thighs next to him and get some leg space.

Jungkook commands, glaring at Seojoon.
"Oh? Was I staring?", The elder plays dumb, irking Jungkook.
Seojoon has been staring at Jungkook's face, the moment he changed his seats with Taehyung.
"You should have kept me blocked", Jungkook hisses, why is the car moving so slow.

"wait, hyung? Why did you block him in the first place?",Taehyung questions from the side, genuinely curious.
"You know Taetae",Seojoon smirks, eyeing Jungkook, "he's pretty distracting"
"What?", Jungkook raises a brow, when Taehyung bites back a laugh,"How am I a distraction?"

"You know, you have a very pretty face. It's distracting", Seojoon confesses to Jungkook.
"You are cute, you know?"
Jungkook's mouth remains agape. Either he'll punch Seojoon or hide his face in Taehyung's nape. Because why is his husband laughing so hard.
"I am not"
"You are cute, you know?"
Jungkook's mouth remains agape. Either he'll punch Seojoon or hide his face in Taehyung's nape. Because why is his husband laughing so hard.
"I am not"
"And living with you for a few days. I think I overcame my distraction", the older one shows a thumbs up and then shrugs, "so I unblocked you"
Jungkook blinks.
"It's reverse psychology", Seojoon clears his doubt. Oh, hell, Jungkook knows about it.
Jungkook blinks.
"It's reverse psychology", Seojoon clears his doubt. Oh, hell, Jungkook knows about it.

"But you are cute though", Taehyung says, smiling but it only makes Jungkook hide himself more into Taehyung making the whole car laugh again.
"You can't get away from me", Taehyung whispers only for Jungkook when the younger clutches his back.
"Listen, Jungkook-ssi"
"You can't get away from me", Taehyung whispers only for Jungkook when the younger clutches his back.
"Listen, Jungkook-ssi"
"I know we have been going back and forth a lot. I mean, it's actually very cute to get you all riled up sometimes, but..", Seojoon smiles when he notices Jungkook is looking at him, still leaning on Taehyung.
"We might have been rivals all along. But I am Taehyung's friend too"
"We might have been rivals all along. But I am Taehyung's friend too"
"And, I'd like to be friends with his husband too", Seojoon rubs his nape, a little embarrassed.
Jungkook sits straight, noticing the hand offered to him. If Taehyung trusts Seojoon. Then Jungkook trusts Seojoon too.
And he doesn't seem so bad. Right now.

"Okay so Taetae and Kookoo", Seojoon claps his hands.
"That's lame", Jungkook shakes his head.
Seojoon hums, "Deal with it"

He closes his eyes when he feels warm circles around his waist. The king rests his back on Jungkook's chest.

"I just wanted to support you. But look at this, you had to come here and calm my nerves", Taehyung blabbers when he's nervous.

Their hearts beat together.

"if it wasn't for you, guess I'd still feel useless"
Taehyung hugs Jungkook harder, leaving no space in between.

"And you, baby"
Taehyung hugs Jungkook harder, leaving no space in between.

"You might be a king. But you belong to sing. Express your voice", Jungkook kisses Taehyung's temple.
"What if I mess up?", Taehyung and his what ifs.
"I'd still clap for you", Jungkook whispers.
"And didn't you say, everyone has their first time?"
At least try.

Taehyung joins their foreheads together. He likes to sing. He does, and he likes to sing in front of Jungkook.
"If you win this deal", Taehyung whispers, finally feeling confident in himself, "I'll kiss you in front of everyone"
Jungkook raises a brow.

Why did he tell him this just before his performance?

His throat turned dry the moment he saw Jungkook crying but then smiling at him.
The younger had nodded at Taehyung,with his eyes twinkling bright compared to the whole crowd.
Even if it was Taehyung's first time on the stage, today, he'd sung for only one person. His eyes were only on one person. A redemption.
"So, Jeon Jungkook or is it Park Seojoon?", The host asks, the audience is getting excited. Roaring for Taehyung to announce.

Jungkook wipes any tears left. He can't cry now. Now that, they both have reached the shore safely.
The king heeves a breath, opening up the envelope and taking out the pla card.
There's a name engraved on it. Taehyung reads it again. And again.
He looks at the crowd.

It was Taehyung's redemption. He finally, had a chance to tell him what sweet night meant. Even the wrecked ship could reach the shore.
Taehyung gulps, reading the name again. Those letters. They finally reached home.

But no need to wait anymore. Because Jeon Jungkook got his redemption too.

After all, it all started with a deal.
A deal where Jungkook wins. And Taehyung gets free.
Well, the CEO sure did get his deal this time. But he also won Taehyung with it. Prince Taehyung? Oh no.

Taehyung, that pulls Jungkook by his coat, molding their lips together when everyone gasps wasn't like this before.
That Kim Taehyung who was debarred from touching anything and everything. Who'd live in a misery of self doubt. That good ol' cursed prince.
It's not him anymore.
That Kim Taehyung who was debarred from touching anything and everything. Who'd live in a misery of self doubt. That good ol' cursed prince.
It's not him anymore.
Because this Taehyung? He holds onto the most important thing in his life. Kisses his lips like an endless ocean.
Because, this Taehyung loves himself. He asks for what he needs. He doesn't let go.
Taehyung smiles when he feels Jungkook's tear in their kiss.

He can kiss those tears too. Because he is not kissing that emotionless robot anymore.
This Jungkook is different too. This Jungkook, who could feel every word of his husband's song. Who finally knows how to follow his heart. He takes care of it. Holds on to it.

"Congratulations, husband-nim", Taehyung whispers, pecking his soft plush lips one last time.
Jungkook opens his eyes, realising Taehyung stands too close. Right next to him.
"I love you", Jungkook whispers.
"I love you too, baby", they both finally smile at each other.

Now that, the useless heartbroken Joker finally found his purpose, and the Queen of hearts finally found her lost heart among the wealth.
Now that, both the joker and the Queen finally found the world's biggest power. Who was going to stop them?
Now that, both the joker and the Queen finally found the world's biggest power. Who was going to stop them?
Because even if the queen could fall for a thousand kings.
And even if the Joker who'd get called out on all his bluffs.
When they fold, they see the best in each other. They find their hearts in each other.
The K̶i̶n̶g̶ Joker and his Queen.
And even if the Joker who'd get called out on all his bluffs.
When they fold, they see the best in each other. They find their hearts in each other.
The K̶i̶n̶g̶ Joker and his Queen.

Jungkook takes a seat next to Taehyung on the floor. He sighs, when Taehyung automatically holds his hand.
It's a little chilly on the dock. Their last spot for the honeymoon. A five day cruise trip.
"What are you thinking?", Jungkook questions.

It's a little chilly on the dock. Their last spot for the honeymoon. A five day cruise trip.
"What are you thinking?", Jungkook questions.
The last few days went in a blink of an eye. As much as Taehyung loved every moment of their honeymoon. He couldn't help but notice how Jungkook is like a missing puzzle to his everything.
Even the hyungs somehow fill up any empty space.
Like Taehyung finally found a place too.

Like Taehyung finally found a place too.
"Just that", Taehyung sighs, looking at the moon. "The two cards that were missing were a joker and the Queen of hearts"
Jungkook stares at Taehyung. He doesn't know if it's a coincidence. Or something more. But the weather is nice, and Taehyung looks beautiful.

Taehyung under the moon light. It's Jungkook's favourite sight. He can never get enough of it.
"Oh a shooting star", Taehyung smiles, pointing at the sky.
Jungkook looks about too. There was a shooting star, indeed. The sky has so many starts around and one moon.

Jungkook looks about too. There was a shooting star, indeed. The sky has so many starts around and one moon.
But Taehyung and Jungkook didn't ask for anything from the shooting star. Didn't wish for anything.
"Who cares what's missing. The only thing that matters to me is that I found you", Jungkook confesses, lightly stroking Taehyung's hand.
Taehyung smiles at the younger.

Taehyung smiles at the younger.
What's there to wish for. When they already have everything they need, right next to each other.
Taehyung kisses Jungkook's hand, rubbing in an attempt to keep them warm.
"God, this will be over in five days" Taehyung sighs, pouting a little.
"I bet, hyungs must be missing us"

"I bet, hyungs must be missing us"
Jungkook hums, blushing when he feels his hands acti getting warm in Taehyung's hold.
"I have a little surprise for you"
Taehyung raises his brow. Sure, they had a lot of fun, and surprises throughout the trip. But, Jungkook's still left with something?

"Little?", Taehyung teases.
"I mean it's little right now but it does get bigger with time", Jungkook explains with his whole heart.
Taehyung's eyes open wide, "Jungkook", He whispers, "not in public, baby"
Sure, they had that kind of fun and surprises too.

Taehyung gets a flashback of their recent Paris deed, as he smacks Jungkook in his chest.
The younger only gives him a confused look.
"Huh?Wait? I didn't mean it in that way..", he whines until he realises,"I mean, we can totally have it in that way if you want but" embarrassed.

Jungkook is embarrassed.
"But i was talking about something else"
"Something that's little but gets bigger?"
"Yeah", Jungkook takes a huge breath, feeling the ocean waves hitting the ship.
"Okay", Taehyung feels confused, "show me"
