From the rear view mirror Taehyung watched the mansion disappear.

He sighed silently.

The latter was happy. He's going to the place where he spent his childhood. The place with so many memories--happy and sad.

But he also saw the expression of jungkook when he sat in the car. The look on his husband's face saddened him.

But he didn't have enough time to dwell on it as Jimin clutched his hand with uncertainty. And he tightened his hold for a second to assure him that everything's fine.

••••••••••••••••••••••••

Taehyung heartbeat fastened as he saw the familiar big black gate of the mansion open as the car passes through it.

He gazed outside only to see the beautiful garden his mother used to take care of.

He was so tempted to walk barefoot through the wet grass early in the morning. Just like his mother did always.

And he was going to do it. He promised himself. The car stopped with a force and he jerked a little.

"We are here." his dad said cheerfully.

Jimin got out of the car with his father. Taehyung eyes gleamed with joy.

He stepped out of the car and twirled around slowly to look around.

He smiled brightly.

"I am here ."

•••••••••••••••••••••••

Taehyung entered the mansion with a big grin on his face.

He saw many familiar faces working silently. How can he ever forget them. The servants and maids adored so much.

They were there all throughout his childhood. He greeted everyone with enthusiasm.

All while Jimin stood beside him and observed everything.

Their was a lot of difference between the environment of his and Taehyung's home.

He didn't know how to say it but Taehyung's was more brighter and lively.

It felt like home. The mansion was big just like his and the Jeon's but it had a comfortable vibe to it.

It was warm.

"Hyung--Jimin hyung. " called Taehyung and snapped him out of his thoughts.

"Yeah."

"I am sure you are still tired. Let me show you your room so that you can rest." Said Taehyung.

Jimin didn't say anything but nodded his head in agreement.

There were a lot of things going on in his mind. And he sure needed some alone time.

Taehyung guided him to one of the guest room near his own.

"If you need anything you can call me or tell any servant." Muttered the younger as he opened the door of the room.

Taehyung frowned when the elder didn't say anything and watched him go in the room but he let the elder be for a the moment and closed the door.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••

Taehyung roamed around the mansion with a smile on his face. His dad went to the office but he promised to come early so that they could spend some time together.

He went to the balcony from where he could see the garden his mother took care of.

He smiled when he felt the warm breeze and saw the leaves and flowers dance with wind.

"I missed this." he breathed.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••

Jimin stood beside a window and watched the beautiful scenery outside.

He knows that it's supposed to be calming but he didn't feel like it.

The hidden turmoil inside him was a mess. He didn't know what was right and what was wrong at the moment.

He felt weak. But that's nothing new he's used to it. And to not feel like it he drinks.

He drinks to forget his sorrow , to feel free , to not think about his pathetic life----he drinks to not feel weak.

He doesn't know if he did the right thing by pushing Victor away last night. He panicked thinking that he turned his only one comfort down.

What should he do to keep the depressing thoughts away now. He doesn't want to dwell on them not now ---never.

His father's face came into his mind as the latter looked at him with disapproval.

His non-existence relationship with his husband came in his mind.

How he sees his husband only during breakfast and dinner. And rarely more than that.

It's not like only Yoongi's at the fault. He is too. But that doesn't mean it hurts less.

Oh how much he wished to have a life partner of his own choice but his parents also took it away from him.

Alcohol was now his only support now.

Tears escaped his eyes as he remembered everything yet again.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••

It was exactly two hours later. Taehyung decided to check in Jimin after he caught up with all the servants and maids.

"Hyung ." he said and knocked on elder's door.

He didn't get any reply which made him worry. So without any thought he turned the doorknob and entered the room.

Jimin sat on the floor right below the window with tears. He had the same flask in his hand.

No Taehyung is not going to allow his hyung to go on the same road again.

He rushed to Jimin's side but latter didn't make any move to acknowledge his presence.

He silently settled himself beside the elder and gazed at him.

"Staring at it will not make a change a hyung. " He said and Jimin turned to look at him.

Taehyung could tell that the elder just realised his presence.

He again looked in front.

"Don't stare at it. Make a decision would you like to drink the poison in it and have a temporary escape or don't drink it and face the turmoil. Soon you would find the real happiness. "

Jimin chuckled bitterly and also looked in front like him.

"There's no real happiness."

"How do you know that ? " Countered the younger.

"I never got a chance to experience it. "

"Just because you didn't get the chance in past doesn't mean you would not in future."

"I will not. "

" How are you so sure about that hyung ? No one knows the future. "

"I have an idea about mine. "

" If you have than why don't you try to change it. We can change our future. It all depends on us. We make our future." Said Taehyung as he took the flask from the elder.

"But I am addicted to it. "

"Than find a new addiction which is good for you. "

" What can even be my new addiction huh ?"

"Anything."

" You tell me one than." said Jimin as he turned to look at the younger.

"Painting ? " he suggested softly and the other's breath hitched.

"No not that ."said Jimin in a pained voice.

Taehyung nodded slowly. He placed the flask in his pocket.

He's not giving it back and Jimin knew that too.

"Than let's go out and have a walk in the garden---in fresh air. I am sure we'll think of something. "He said and didn't even wait for the other's reply as he stood up and pulled the other too.

•••••••••••••••••••••••

"It's beautiful." said Jimin as they walked in the garden.

"I know. My mom used to take care of it."

Replied Taehyung softly.

"Oh."

"Now my dad hired some professional gardener to look after it. And he's doing a real good job at it. He didn't change anything just took care of what was here before which I liked a lot. "

"Even after years it look the same. "He

mumbled softly as the elder nodded.

Silently they walked side by side.

"So did you think of something ? "

Jimin looked at him.

"Let's try gardening."

"Gardening ? " asked the younger surprised.

"Yeah I want to try it. "

"I'll do it with you than but if I remember correctly I was not good at it." Said Taehyung and chuckled.

Jimin smiled too. And the smile was most definitely not a fake a one. It was real.

Taehyung heart's melted at the sight.

He stopped on his way and hugged Jimin tightly.

The elder was startled but the warmth of younger made him hug back too.

Taehyung smiled when he felt the arms around him.

Your real smile is beautiful hyung.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••

The next day Taehyung stared at the time on the clock as he sat in his room.

Did jungkook got his coffee ?

Did Jungkook have lunch ?

He wants to call his husband.

But Jungkook will be annoyed.

And that thought stopped him.

He sighed.

"I hope Hoseok hyung will take care of him. " He mumbled softly.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••

Taehyung descended down the stairs confused.

He heard loud laughter from the living room.

Slowly he walked in the room. Only to be greeted with a scene which made him happy.

Jimin and his dad sat on one of the couch and laughed loudly with an album in their hands.

With a smile on his face he joined them.

"What are you guys doing ? "He asked as he sat beside them and placed a cushion on his lap.

"We were just looking at your album and than I remembered your mischievousness and started telling him about it." his dad answered and Taehyung widened his eyes .

"What ? why are you telling him that ?" He screeched loudly and the pair laughed.

" Oh I remember when he screamed loudly just to wake his aunt up right by her ear. "

"Her ear buzzed for the whole day and our little mister here were not even guilty and threatened her to wake up early or he would do it again. "

His dad laughed again.

" You should have seen the look on the poor lady's face. And on top of that she even woke up early than Taehyung next morning ."

Jimin laughed loudly as Taehyung shrunk in his seat all embarrassed.

All night his dad continued to tell Jimin about all his mischievous acts from the childhood.

And by the time Taehyung also laughed with the pair. He didn't remember when he laughed oh so loudly last time. His cheeks hurts as the tears of joy glistened in his eyes.

And seeing the elder laugh so loudly and freely for the first time made him feel warm in his heart.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

What Taehyung didn't expect was to get a phone call from Jungkook when he was about to get in the bed.

And what he certainly didn't expect was to get hugged by his husband in the middle of the night in the garden as the moon shone above them.

"God I missed you so much." his husband mumbled.

And Taehyung just stood there shocked blinking.

"Jungkook---Jungkook what happened ?" He asked with a stutter. His hands awkwardly in the air.

Jungkook pulled away suddenly embarrassed by his action.

He gulped under the confused gaze of his husband.

And fuck it. He decided to be brave for the first time.

" I--I missed you. "He said.

Taehyung mouth opened with shock. Jeon Jungkook missed him. His husband missed him.

Jungkook cleared his throat loudly when Taehyung continued to stare at him shocked.

He felt so uncomfortable as he continued to shift around under Taehyung's stare.

Loud clearing of throat brought him out of the shock. He decided not to know acknowledge the subject more because Jungkook looked highly uncomfortable.

He smiled warmly at the other.

"I missed you too." said Taehyung.

As Jungkook's doe eye widened.

And just like Taehyung he also didn't acknowledge the subject further.

They continued to watch each other.

"Come on let's sit. "said Taehyung and walked to a bench.

Jungkook silently followed him.

They both sat on the bench beside each other silently. The atmosphere around them was comfortable now.

No one wanted to walk away. When a cold breeze blew by Jungkook saw Taehyung shivering.

Just than he realised the other was only in his silk pajamas.

He quietly took off his coat and offered it to Taehyung.

The latter smiled at him gratefully and wore it.

Jungkook was busy admiring the stars when he felt a weight on his shoulder.

He turned around and saw Taehyung sleeping with his head on his shoulder.

He smiled softly and brushed his hair back.

Just than his gaze fell on other's hand and without a thought he took his husband's hand in his.

He interlaced their fingers and sighed in the content.

Soon he also fell asleep with his head on Taehyung.

••••••••••••••••••••••••

Taehyung woke up and opened his eyes groggily.

And the first thing he saw was the flowers from the garden.

He frowned confused but soon widened his eyes at the last night events.

"It was not a dream ." he mumbled and felt a weight on his head. He looked up only to see his husband sleeping in him.

He chuckled and placed Jungkook's head on his shoulder and stretched his neck.

According to him it was like 4 in the morning. The sky was not that dark.

Suddenly he remembered something. He placed his husband head on the bench rest and got up.

He only walked afre steps when his husband called him.

"Taehyung." said Jungkook in a gravely voice and got up with him after stretching and a yawn.

"Where are you going ?" His husband asked when he reached him.

"Nothing I'm just walking." he answered with a soft smile.

And to Jungkook he looked like an angel.

Taehyung took his slippers off. And his barefeet touched the ground.

Jungkook watched him confused.

Taehyung chuckled at the confused gaze of other.

"I'm walking barefeet on the wet grass. It feels nice and fresh." he informed and Jungkook nodded.
