The road towards office was awkward, no one spoke a single word.

Silence...

Finally they reached office and Eun Ae got down from the car, she was about to walk but then he stopped her.

"Actually, today Jin hyung has arranged something for us so i will be heading towards his house after office so, please take a cab." he said and Eun Ae just blankly stared and then nodded at him.

The whole day Eun Ae was restless, she wasn't sure how she should be reacting. Her wounds were still fresh, she already lost her mother and today she lost her first love.

She just kept herself occupied in work and purposely tried taking more and more work. They were officially separated and now only legal work was remaining.

His words echoed in her head.

"Just few days..."

She sighed and rubbed her temple.

On the other hand, Jungkook also faced the same problem, her messy state would appear infront of him and he would just zone out.

~~~

"Hyung, are you sure that it's free?" Taehyung's asked, fully impressed by the news he heard from Jin.

"Yeah kids. My friend, he works as an assistant chef on the cruise and he told me to assist him in the kitchen also he has given me some free passes for my family to stay there and you all know my only family are you guys, so i have decided to take you guys with me."

"That is great hyung...! I am in." Namjoon chirped like a small kid.

"Me too..!! Jisoo is in Japan so i am free..." Taehyung raised his hand.

"Me too hyung. I am free..!!"Jimin said, raising his hands in air as he winked at Taehyung.

Now they all looked at Jungkook who was still in his own world.

"Hyung, i will let you know..." he said lowly. He was totally drained out and just wanted to see her as soon as possible because he knew, she was alone and hurt.

"No kid. You need to come or else i am not talking with you." Jin scolded the maknae and the others joined him too.

"Okay...i will come.." he finally surrendered, he wasn't really interested to fight right now.

"Great! talk with Eun Ae...tell her to come." Jin warned him.

"But..hyung, Jisoo won't be coming, even Hoseok hyung and noona aren't coming so why her? I mean she will be bored right?"

"Maknae...we are there for her. We will make sure to entertain her okay?"

Jungkook wasn't​ sure whether she will be coming or not but he knew she will be happy to see hyungs taking care of her and also this might be their last chance together, "Okay.."

"No worries even if she said no, i will drag her.." Jin muttered.

Jungkook walked towards​ his car but he stopped when he heard someone calling him. He turned to see Jimin running​ toward him.

"Hyung what happened?"

Jimin stood infront of him and huffed, "Jungkook please bring her.. i am thinking of proposing her. You both will be separated right? Because i remember you have your marriage anniversary this month. Gosh...one whole year passed already... i have already wasted and missed enough moments with you and her but now i want to tell her that i love her." Jimin completed and blushed. He wasn't able to control the overwhelming feelings which were there only for her.

Jungkook felt a pang in his heart, seeing some other man head over heels for the woman he loves, but then he knew that it was good for her.

"Okay.." he said.

----

"Come on. You will come with us...!" Jin crossed his arms and blocked her path.

"Oppa.. please no. Now move away." she grabbed his arm and tried to pull him from her path as he was blocking the entrance towards her room. Jungkook leaned on the railing as he watched them bickering. Jin was trying to convince her to join them but then she wasn't really interested especially when she was hurt and wanted to stay alone. He chuckled seeing how cute they both look together. It reminded him about his memories with Rhea.

"One last time i am asking you. Will you come?" Jin asked coldly. His eyes on her expression.

Eun Ae looked away, "oppa, i am not really interested." she spared a glance at Jungkook who was gawking at them. As soon as her eyes landed on him, he looked away.

"Fine then." Jin walk passed her and stood at a distance from her, his back facing her as he cleared his throat, "Delete my number from your mobile and don't ever call me. Forget that you have someone whose name is Kim Seokjin, the worldwide handsome." Jin completed and sighed. Jungkook was stifling his laughter, seeing the awful acting of his hyung.

Eun Ae rolled her eyes in frustration. She already lost her mother, her first love and now she cannot afford to lose Jin, "When are we going?" she asked.

Jin smiled widely and turned, "Tomorrow." he chirped like a teenager and Jungkook mentally facepalmed himself.

~~~

"Guys let's start our nowhere voyage." Jin was overwhelming in excitement but then received no response from the young ones. He gawked at Namjoon, Jungkook and Eun Ae who were standing infront of him.

He sighed, Jimin and Taehyung had already took their keys and left to see their cabins.(Rooms in cruise are called cabins or stateroom. Also the 'nowhere voyage' means )

"Yah yah, aren't you guys excited?" he retorted thinking that how they can be so stupid and boring.

"Yey~~" Namjoon exclaimed playfully and Jin instantly glared at him seeing how artificial his gesture was.

"Nevermind" he said, "We got the cabins of lower deck. They both went and now we have three cabins, so-" Jin was cutoff by Jungkook.

"I will take a separate room." Jungkook spat nonchalantly and Eun Ae instantly looked at him thinking that he is not even interested to share the same room with her. She was left stunned due to his sudden statement and she averted her eyes away from him. She smiled stupidly.

Jin on the other hand was looking at them both, he had noticed the awkwardness between them yesterday when he visited them, even today in the bus he saw them stealing glances at each other and ignoring each other.

He knew something was wrong, his instinct was telling so and like always he knows that his instinct never lies. He switched his eyes towards Namjoon thinking that he must be feeling the same about the couple but then he mentally facepalmed himself when he saw that the silly man was checking out some hot chicks instead.

Jin mentally cursed himself for bringing Namjoon with him, "Fine, so me and Namjoon in same cabin while you both take the separate cabins." he handed them the keys and they both walked away. Jin watched them leaving the restaurant, he saw them struggling while walking out from the door, of course he did noticed how awkward they both were with each other.

Jin definitely needs to know, he needs to interfere, he needs to talk now...

..But this time with Jungkook.

----

Namjoon was snuggling up in his bathrobe in the wraparound balcony of the cabin, Jimin was busy sweating in the gym as he had already missed his gym session in morning due to all the traveling thing so he was compensating for it. Taehyung along with Eun Ae were busy talking with Jisoo on a video call and were showing her the view from the balcony. Jin climbed the stairs to reach the upper deck. He saw Jungkook who was standing, his hands on the railing as he was enjoying the view of sunset.

This is the right time, Jin thought and he walked towards him. Jungkook realised his presences as he heard the light footsteps. He turned his head towards him as the elder took his place next to him. They both shared a smile and then switched their heads towards the sun which was about to meet the sea.

"What's up boy?" Jin asked with an intention of starting the conversation with Jungkook.

"Fine hyung." he replied after glancing at the elder.

"Good" he said, Jin averted his eyes towards him, "What's wrong Jungkook? why are you treating her this way? did you had fight with her?" he asked him directly.

Jungkook exhaled heavily, "Nothing is wrong hyung, everything is okay." he said, looking away and his eyes landed on a couple who were standing just few meters away from them

"Lover's quarrel?" Jin asked making him choke on nothing. He looked at him, "What are you saying hyung?" he smiled playfully.

"So? you tell me, what's the matter and don't lie to me or else i am not afraid to kick you in the sea." Jin warned and Jungkook just laughed it off but then he became serious when he saw Jin glaring at him. Jungkook cleared his throat, "Hyung... she.. she proposed me." Jungkook bit his bottom lip as he said, the scene played in his mind. It will surely haunt him for life.

Jin's eyes beamed, "Whoa... she loves you." he patted his shoulder, "So? what is your answer?" he waited for his response.

"I don't love her hyung..." Jungkook lied again for second time.

Jin was rooted to ground, he knew Jungkook was lying, he knew that the maknae loves her just by the way he looks at her and cares for her, "Why Jungkook? are you saying this because of that stupid ass contract? if yes, then please forget about that... that doesn't makes any sense now. Why are you killing your own feelings when you can actually make her happy?" Jin flabbergasted, his eyes raging in anger and he wanted to kick his butt.

"I am not the one for her.." he rubbed his nose with his knuckle as it was itching, he spared a glance at the couple who walked away hand in hand, "... Jimin hyung deserves her more than me." he completed and that's when Jin furrowed his eyebrows in confusion.

"Jimin? why are you involving him in this?" he asked Jungkook.

"He loves her hyung and he deserves her more than me..." he said.

"Oh" Jin looked at a distance, "So you are letting him take her from you? who do you think you are? a superhero or something to sacrifice​?"

"Ani hyung. I am not sacrificing for Jimin hyung... i am just being myself... i am not going to keep her. Just few days and we are done, she can go anywhere.." he paused only to inhale, "...to anyone"

"You are seriously dumb Jungkook. I feel so pity for you.. you are doing the same-" Jin paused, he needs to stop, he can't tell him about his own experience. He can't let him know how he lost his love to someone just because of his stupidness.

Jungkook looked at him, he knew what he wanted to say. He understood the feelings which Jin kept unvoiced.

"I mean letting someone go is never an option." Jin clarified, "What is stopping you?" he asked the maknae.

"Nothing hyung. You know me very well... who i am... i am not worth it. I am craziest man ever. I will let her go hyung.." Jungkook said in low voice, his hand gripping on the bars as he tried blinking his tears, his heavy chest rising and falling as he inhaled the fresh air.

Jin wasn't able to stop himself from breaking down, his heart was shattering for Jungkook who has lived his whole life in small pieces, who was stupid enough to let the love of his life go.

Jin was afraid because now history was going to repeat itself in the form of Jungkook, "Jungkook, " Jin's voice was deep and painful as he said, even Jungkook was able to feel the vibes.

"You are no one to decide who deserves her and who doesn't... Just love her, she is worth it." Jin wrapped his arm around his shoulder as he looked at him.

Jungkook gulped, his grip on the railing tightened as the time passed, he wanted to run away, he wanted to stop thinking about love and about Eun Ae. His knuckles turned white, "Stop it hyung, just stop.." Jungkook barely made it, he looked away and then at the sunset. The sun was just about to touch the sea, shades of orange filling the sky and slightly teasing the clouds and turning it liquid gold.

Jin looked at him for a second, he knew Jungkook will never listen to him no matter how much he explains. He averted his eyes towards the sky. They both admired the sunset.

"...Jungkook.." Jin tried changing the topic, "Have you noticed that the setting sun makes exclamation mark upside down?" Jin said as he kept his eyes intact on the scene.

Jungkook smiled as he noticed that, he wondered why the elder was saying that, "Hyung, why are you saying that?"

"Even nature has its exceptions Jungkook..." he paused, "We are still humans..." Jin answered back and Jungkook looked at him for a second and this was the moment when the sun met the sea making the azure sky pitch-dark.
