You can’t forgive without loving. And I don’t mean sentimentality. I don’t mean mush. I mean having enough courage to stand up and say, ‘I forgive. I’m finished with it.’

Jungkook sighed tired as he read the file placed on the table.
The black haired heard a knock and looked up slowly.
"Come in." He grumbled.
His secretary entered the room with a big pile of files in his hands.
"Sir you have to revise these files too." The secretary said in a professional tone.
Jungkook gazed at the big pile with a frown.
"Who sent them ?" He asked as he massaged his temples with fingers.
He was completely drained out. The garden bench was definitely not an ideal place for sleeping. His muscles were sore. And his body ached.
Even though he didn't regret his action from last night. Infact he enjoyed some warm time with his husband.
"Your eldest brother sir." she answered.
Jungkook bit his lips to not groan aloud.
"Keep them on the table." he instructed monotonously and went back to the file.
Jungkook heard the files being placed on the table and his secretary going out of his office.
He stared up at the files for few minutes and than casted his head down closing his eyes with a sigh yet again.
"Looks like I'm going to be stuck here all night. "
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Jimin woke up in frenzy. He didn't have any alcohol intake for more than one or two day.
The married man didn't know it was possible. But apparently it was.
Yes he's yearning for some alcohol. Still there's a desire inside of him but he's trying to suppress it.
The talk with Taehyung forced him to atleast give it a try.
Also he thinks the lack of presence of the pretentious family of Jeon made it viable for him to be sober.
Mr. Kim also was a great help. He diverted Jimin's mind from the thoughts that could alone consume him.
But now he was all alone. After lunch Taehyung walked into his room to take a nap. The younger was yawning all throughout the day. And Mr. Kim was in his office.
They have yet to start gardening too. Due to the hazy weather they postponed the plan to tomorrow.

Jimin wondered if he can just go and take a bottle of wine from Mr. Kim's wine cellar or he can simply go to the upstairs home bar he was shown.
No he shook his head denying the need of alcohol. Jimin took deep breaths to calm himself down.
He desperately wants a distraction. He looked around the room to find something to keep his mind occupied.
His wondered to the big window and saw the dark clouds covering the sky. A distinct earthly smell in the air.
It was quite pleasant.
Hr remembered how much he adored the rain.
A sudden thought came in his mind.
Than why doesn't I adore the rain now ?
He thought about the reason. He tried to get to know himself. He didn't shut down his thoughts.
The sadness inside of Jimin didn't let him enjoy the rain as before. And there were many reasons of his sadness.
As he remembered the reasons Jimin felt his heart fastened. He started feeling suffocating.
"No not again." Jimin muttered dejected.
He doesn't want to drown in his thoughts. Why didn't he shut his thoughts ? He questioned himself.
Just as he was about to give in. He heard the sound of rain hitting the ground getting louder. Jimin took deep breaths as he concentrated on the sound of rain only.
Soon his breathing returned to normal. He slowly opened his eyes. And watched the rain pour down.
Jimin stood there with alot of thoughts in his mind. But he didn't let the bad thoughts consume him this time.
After a while a realisation dawned upon him.
I should not put my happiness at stake because of others. If I love rain I will enjoy it. I will not let my sadness overpower him.
I will be strong.
And Jimin felt relaxed. It was like a small heaviness from his chest disappeared making it easier for him to breathe.
He smiled as he gazed out from the window. Soft wind swaying his dark locks.
Jimin sighed.
"It's looks beautiful. "
"I wish I could paint it. "
He thought sadly but the smile didn't disappear from his face
He kept smiling with his head held high.
In all of this he forgot one thing and that was his desire for alcohol. He successfully diverted his mind for now.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Jungkook stopped writing in the file and looked up to stare at the wall.

Suddenly reminded of a scene that left him dejected and guilty.
"It's late. Please eat something."
Taehyung said in a soft voice.
Just as he heard Taehyung he felt so annoyed.
"Can't you see I am working. Don't be a fucking burden. I am already stressed as it is. "Jungkook hissed through the gritted teeth.
Taehyung felt tears in his eyes.
Jungkook groaned loudly as he hid his face in his hands.
The unexpected memorie made him feel awful.
"God I am an asshole." He mumbled.
Jungkook took a deep breath and shook his head trying to ignore the sudden memory.
However his conscience didn't let him forget. He was not able to focus on his work. The guilt outweighed Jungkook.
His brain loved to remind him the unpleasant memories.
"Should I call him ?" he thought aloud.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••
Taehyung sat on the chair beside the window. A cup of tea placed on the table in front of him.
With a faint smile on his face he admired the beautiful weather outside.
He was in his pajamas from his afternoon nap.
The soft pitter-patter of rain woke him up.
After the nap he felt fresh and energized. His neck not aching now.
He's definitely not sleeping on a bench again.
Taehyung smiled flustered when he remembered the last night events.
Jungkook was different or is Jungkook changing he thought with a frown.
Feeling a little cold he adjusted his warm sweater.
Taehyung's enjoying his time here. He didn't realise before but he needed this change for a while.
"What's happening to you Jeon Jungkook ? " He mumbled as he stared outside.
Soon he heard his phone ring. Taehyung picked up the device from the table.
Jungkook.
"Hello." he answered in a soft tone.
"Hey Taehyung."He heard the same husky voice.
"Hey Jungkook . "
"How are you ? "
"I'm good . How are you Jungkook ?" Asked Taehyung still confused because of the call.
"I'm good as well."
"That's great Jungkook. But why did you call me ?" Questioned Taehyung. The whole conversation was strange.
But he didn't hear any reply which made Taehyung frown.
"Jungkook you there ? "He called.
"Ah yes-- I am here. Actually--actually I want--wanted to apologise to you." Stuttered Jungkook.
"Apologise ? For what ? "asked his husband bemused.
Jungkook gulped.
"Remember the night when--when I -- I called you a burden ? "
Taehyung's eyes widened.
Ofcourse he remembers the day crystal clear. He was really hurt.
"Yes." answered the younger softly.
I am really sorry for that word Taehyung. I really am. I was-was frustrated because of all the work and everything going on in the office. And you were just there when I was at the peak of frustration. So I took it out on you. I can't express how guilty I felt later Taehyung. But I never got the guts to apologise to you. "
"Please forgive me Taehyung. I know I was at the wrong--" rambled Jungkook.
"You know what you said was wrong right?" Asked Taehyung cutting him off. His voice expressed how hurt he was at that time.
"Yes."
"You don't feel like that right? "
"Definitely not. "
"I was hurt."
"I know Taehyung. I know. "
The pain in Taehyung's voice made him upset.
"Please don't say anything like that again?"
"Never . I promise. "
"But promises are meant to be broken." Countered Taehyung.
"But I would not. You will know it through the time. " Said Jungkook in a stern voice.
"Yes I will know it. "Said Taehyung trying his best to sound stern as he fought the smile on his face.
"I forgive you than Jeon Jungkook."
"Thankyou for forgiving me Jeon Taehyung."
Both pair chuckled at that.
"What are you doing ? "Questioned the black haired.
"Work." answered Jungkook.
Taehyung noticed Jungkook's tone.
"Tired ?"
"Yeah a lot. "
"Please don't overwork yourself. And take care."
Jungkook smiled.
"Yeah I will not overwork."
This is nice
Thought the elder. Just than he remembered something.
"Taehyung. "
"Yeah. "
"We are invited to a party tomorrow. But Namjoon and Yoongi hyung can't go because of work. So we have to go there."
Taehyung pouted.
He doesn't like these parties. But he knows he really doesn't have a choice here. It was probably Jin or Namjoon who told Jungkook.
"Sure. When ?"
"I'll pick you at 8 and than we can go together."
"Okay . I'll be ready."
"Than I'll see you tomorrow Taehyung." Said younger.
"I'll see you tomorrow too." Jungkook replied Taehyung.
With that the call ended and both had a beautiful smile on their face.

Dungeon Core Chat Room.
This is a slower-paced "experiment and dungeon building" web novel that tries to use the idea of peer-to-peer communication with Dungeon Cores instead of Dungeon to slave monster communication to break up the detailed dungeon building. Rank 1 description: (minimum met for system initialization...detailed description as follows) Each race was given a system by the gods to make up for their shortcomings and balance their place in this world. Humans: Abysmally bad at understanding and using magic unable to use more than the lowest of magic were given the "Skill System" magic in the form of premade skills with use, study, and mastery tied to experience. Elves: Intuitively understand magic and have long lives leading to vast knowledge and skill in their chosen fields. However, as a species, they have nearly zero sex drive and less than low fertility, so they were gifted the "World Tree System" with experience gained through the care of natural areas – gifting the chance of children to increase their numbers without dirty copulation. All “natural” or “wild” monsters are given an "Evolution system" designed around killing and consuming as many creatures as possible, slowly increasing strength and, at thresholds, allowing mutations to alter them multiple times. Dungeon cores are different. Unlike humans, they can see, manipulate and live off mana. Unlike Elves, they naturally crystallize after extended periods of time in high mana level areas. However, they cannot easily move or communicate and typically go insane without companionship. As a species other than the odd eccentric they are unimaginative. Brute forcing solutions without the drive to truly innovate. Thus they have been gifted with the "Dungeon Connection System" a magical version of the internet accessible by their peers that allows them to barter and sell: bait, traps, monsters, and knowledge, as well as entertain each other with “adventure streams” using exciting recorded battles and humorous reels of arrogant chumps biting off more than they can chew to often fatal effects. This is the casual story of a dungeon unluckily spawned far from potential adventurers forced to innovate beyond its peers to find its place in this world. Rank 2 Description: Justification. I've been on a dungeon core kick for months and while I love the genre – it's sparse with entries. Often the forced conflict gets repetitive and frantic solving of threats "power levels" the protagonist to god levels to progress the plot – taking away the nice steady progression fantasy I'm looking for. (Progression in this story is linked to how strong of monsters/traps/whatever he can create not his "level"...this is demonstrated by some of his newer monsters beating his older monsters not with discrete "this monster has 10 attack this one has 40") Additionally, the focus on 3rd parties with their drama takes away from the reason I’m reading dungeon core novels in the first place – I'm looking for magical crafting, experimentation and kingdom building – not defence from higher and higher levelled enemies looking to steal/destroy/control the MC. This novel is kind of just me writing the story I wish I could read. I like thinking about the experimentation that can be done in fantasy settings using 'mana' as an excuse to make up rules and try to keep them internally consistent. IE once I define how a rule works, I'm going to commit to keeping it – no breaking hard truths I've given when it's convenient, even if it backs me into a corner. Hopefully, that should make the story interesting to read even if it's SOL and less action-oriented. There will be problems to solve and a clear progression in strength (of created monsters and knowledge) however due to not wanting to force conflict for the sake of conflict the general theme will be closer to slice of life with few action sequences and no overarching goal so please keep that in mind when picking this up as the genre is not for everyone. Finally, I have a clear goal of what I want from this story (not an endless romp but a series of arcs and then a conclusion that's a couple of dozen medium-sized chapters long) I want to commit to finishing it or at least bringing it to a point of rest. I hate all the engaging stories that stop with a “hiatus” indefinitely so in the event I lose motivation I'll work to end this even if the ending becomes rushed/unsatisfying just to give a sense of closure. I’m planning on including several polls in terms of direction and taking feedback heavily into account if I get enough readers (but may choose to ignore it if it deviates too far from the direction I want to take this as in feedback like: “The MC needs a cartoonishly evil arch-enemy that wants to enslave him and force the mc to pump out magic items” or “the MC needs to make a body and learn teleportation then live with humans” will get shot down without consideration.)
