《Meant To Be,Finds The Way!》@22

Three cars screeched to halt near an Orphanage. Namjoon and jin got off the first car,followed by hobi and tae. Jungkook and jisoo were the last to join them.
They entered through the front steps into a large,cozy hall painted with lively colors everywhere. Few doors opening into this huge hall were leading them to various destinations,all decorated with beautiful crafts and paints_probably by the children residing there.
"I'll go meet the children hyung,"taehyung said with a gentle yet beautiful smile adorning his face.
"Sure,go ahead. I'll go with joon to complete the paperwork."
The couple took the leftmost doorway going towards head office,while taehyung and hobi entered the middle one_remaining two following them behind.
Jisoo and jungkook were observing every minute detail on the way,this being their first time to an orphanage.
"This place is full of lively vibes! Woww... oppa, look at that_"she said to jungkook pointing at the artworks displayed on the walls.
"All the paintings decorating these walls are done by the children themselves. You see,they try their best everyday to fill their lives with colors of joy_which is not easy at all..."taehyung explained and his words touched everyone's heart.
And he was able to successfully hide the sweet pain that was drenching his heart little by little everyday, pain..... of living by his own all this time, struggling suffering,stumbling but still_ never giving up... embracing all the struggles with a calm & sweet smile on his face,and waking up to the rising sun with a hope to find peace_that he's still in search of.
They reached a long and huge room,with plenty of toys,paints, brushes, canvasses, plushies and much more.
"Hey cuties!"taehyung exclaimed while looking around the bunch of cute babies,almost of every age... who sprung with happiness at seeing the beautiful red haired male at the door.
"Hey puppies! How have you all been? Did you miss me?"hobi cheered them up as both the males went ahead to hug them and in turn got plenty of kisses all over their faces.
Jungkook and jisoo were watching the adorable scene from some distance.
"Have you seen eunwoo, dear?"tae asked to a girl of around 6_who pointed to the other side of hall, where some children were playing together.
They headed towards the direction and hobi called for the boy,
"Eunwoo? Hey, cutie...Where are you?"
"ՏᑭᖇITIᗴᗴᗴ!"a voice sweeter than honey melted their hearts as the said boy turned around with a smile full of excitement and joy.
"Goddd! How can you be sooo cute everytime?"hobi exclaimed while kissing eunwoo and picking him up.
"ᗩᑎᘜᗴᒪ.....I ᗰIՏՏᗴᗪ YOᑌᑌ!"the boy said as he saw taehyung standing there, and leaned towards him showing urge to get picked up by the male.
Taehyung complied and kissed him back,having a cute conversation for a while.
"Cutie,look here.This is Jisoo aunt,say hello."
"ᕼᗴᒪᒪO!"he greeted the girl standing beside taehyung.
"Omo... You're cuter in real than pictures"she said,pinching his cheeks.
"ᗩᑎᘜᗴᒪ,ᗯᕼO IՏ TᕼIՏ?"he asked pointing to the handsome male standing in front.
"He's jungkook uncle,brother of joon dad,"tae explained.
"Jungkookah,you should be careful of this cute monster,"hobi warned the said male.
"he gives everyone a nickname by observing them for a while,lucky if you got a nice one!"
Jungkook chuckled at the newly got information and other three got busy playing with the children around. A call made the screen of his phone lit up,and jungkook headed outside to take the call.

Few minutes went by,and taehyung was reminded of something. He got up and excused himself for a while and headed outside. Jungkook noticed the younger turning across the hallway,and sneakily followed the said male.
After walking past the garden and few hallways, taehyung halted in front of a wall.
He looked upto some lines written, probably painted over the wall..... Jungkook tried to read them from a distance,
Jungkook felt a bundle of emotions weighing him down,as he saw taehyung weeping while staring at those words.
"I miss you mom, dad.
Really miss you a lot"taehyung finally spelled out after long deep silence.
"Can't you just come once and let me hug you with all my heart?
I don't even remember a handful of memories with you both....Please?"tears started streaming down his face,and hiccups were evidence of how much pain he holds within himself_not able to share with anyone.
All the time when younger was weeping, jungkook stood there frozen in his tracks_ looking at the back of taehyung. He could neither hug him and tell that it's gonna be alright... nor could he just walk away like he saw nothing....
It took some time for taehyung to gather up the courage and he wiped away the tears_composing himself once again. He walked out towards the hall where everyone else was waiting. Jungkook stood there for some more time and followed him behind.
The official paperwork was completed and all of them were having fun with children in the garden.
"I think we should leave now,it's getting late,"said jin as the clock read 3'.
Everyone nodded in unison and they started packing the stuff to bring cute little angel home.
"Hyung, I'll be back till dinner," taehyung said before taking leave earlier than others.
"I've got a call, I need to go."
Jungkook declared before heading towards his car and driving off in the same direction as younger.
All others headed to Jin's place for spending some time with little angel and make him feel comfortable with the new ambience he has to live in.
Jungkook,being careful enough not to get caught,was chasing the younger.
The thought of someone special kept bothering him and here he was......Leaving all the meetings and appointments and whatever the piling up work he had got, just to get the answer for his questionnaire......
And do we still call it an attraction, nothing else?

Jihwan was having coffee with his wife,enjoying the peaceful time with some music. Miyoung was so lost in her thoughts that she forgot the coffee getting cold in the cup.
Jihwan noticed her state and took the cup held in her palms to keep it back on the table. Miyoung was brought out of trance and she looked upto the male sitting beside her.
"What's it,honey?"he asked turning completely to face his wife.
"When are we going to tell these children about the truth? Do you think they will believe us?
Will that angel-spirited son of Kims' will ever forgive us?"she asked with teary eyes that held uncertainty and old agonizing fear.
"It won't be easy,I know. They'll need time and will eventually get the matter.
Let's wait for the right time, it's not a matter to rush about,hmm?"
"If you say so,"she nodded and a cold breath left her glossy lips as she leaned over the most reliable shoulder she could ever have_shoulders of her love.
"And what about the necklace that taehyung found outside his door? Have you got any clue who that person was?"

"Not yet,we know that necklace is real and whoever did this, knows our past as well.
But it seems impossible as darco and his few men were the only witness for that day,"jihwan replied getting frustrated about not getting any information.
"I just hope whoever did this, won't cause any harm to our sons."mi young said while staring at the vast spread sky that has an unseen emptiness hidden within itself.
_________________
Passing through busy streets of Seoul,now taehyung was driving on some strange and unfamiliar roadways. Leaving the traffic,crowd and all the hustles far back,he took a turn towards a relatively smaller but peaceful countryside.
In a mere span of seconds,few worn out cottages and huts came into view. There was no specific road leading to that place,just the plain land that naturally took the shape of a pathway.
The curiosity of elder reached it's peak by witnessing the sight in front. He was clueless as to whom taehyung wanted to meet so badly that he travelled upto here.
The car in front parked near one of the cottage,and the red haired male got off the car. Jungkook was observing him from good distance,not getting off as he was able to see where the younger was headed to.
Taehyung entered through the small gate and knocked the door. Before he could knock it again,the door to cottage opened and a lady in her late 40s was standing in front of him.
The moment she saw younger,tears started brimming her eyes and she hugged the male with a wide grin on her face.
Tae did the same and both went inside after greeting each other for a while.
On the other hand, jungkook was feeling guilty for having an unfair suspicion about the younger. But the curiosity grew more as he saw taehyung talking with the lady as if they're too close. He wanted to know about her and their relation.
Debating for a while in his car, jungkook finally got off the car and stepped towards the same cottage. As no one was around to see him,he went near the window that was open and stood there listening carefully to their talk.
"No need to apologize taebear,I know you're working so hard to be a proud son of your parents,"the lady said,as these faint words were captured by jungkook successfully, standing outside.
"I wish I could fulfill their dreams, Nancy."
"Um hm...Now explain me about this,"the lady said while caressing the red hairs of taebear,that jungkook was unable to see.
"This! Well,you always wanted to see me with red hairs,so here I'm,"tae said while giggling,that brought a smile on jungkook's face,although he could only hear his voice.
" But you never complied with my request,telling me that it would look weird and all...What now,huh?"
And taehyung didn't reply for few seconds as a thick silence embraced the air around them.
"You know that day,when I left the home with granny.... mom was running behind me to give a kiss,and the stubborn me that time refused to it. I was playing around with her,not knowing this would be my last time to hug her,kiss her or to see her with all my heart,"his gaze was stuck on the floor and tears not in his control.
"I wish I could've listened to her that time....I wish I could smell her fragrance,and forget about the world in her embrace_just one more time..... I want her to return and take me with them, Nancy."
The muffled sobs were all jungkook could hear after these words, and he couldn't notice his eyes brimming up with the pang of agony he felt.
"You're my taebear,son! You can't lose hope,you still have a long way to go.
Right?"the lady tried to comfort the male.
"That's the reason I'm living for."
"Then,what are you aiming for this time, after grabbing a good medal at university?"
Taehyung looked at the lady beside her and sighed for the nth time. By this second jungkook was too curious to hear younger's reply.
"I want to be an active part of truly amazing and successful project, that could sweep the International Business Excellence Award. It might sound bit too much,but you know I've always dreamed for greater and bigger,"the younger replied.
"I trust you my bear. You've achieved whatever you decided till now...
Now matter how hard it is,don't give up on your dream,ok?"
"Of course Nancy, I just know that_this is all what can do for my mom and dad_who must be watching me from somewhere"
"Ok,now let me make a strawberry cake. I've been dying to make it for you,"Nancy said while getting up from the couch and heading towards the kitchen,
"Wow....You really learnt it for me?"
"What do you take me for,huh?"
And taehyung too got up to help her, with a bright boxy smile.
Jungkook,thinking that he got his answer,was ready to leave the place_when a certain question caused him to stop in his track,
"What about the company you're working in? I heard it's a renowned and extremely successful one. And the CEO is also one of the youngest,"Nancy asked tae, while grabbing the stuff required.
"Yes, it is. The Jeons' company owns many of those grand awards in business market, including the one I want to be a part of."
"Wow, that's great taetae! You've an advantage here. You can tell the CEO there about your goal, I'm sure he'll consider your passion and will give you the opportunity"she said as the sound of tapwater running was heard.
"I don't wanna ask for favors. I'll created the opportunity for myself."
Taehyung rolled up the sleeves and started washing the dishes to help her.
"Is your CEO that much strict and cold? Won't he allow you to participate in those big projects?"
"No,no. It's nothing like that. He's the most considerate CEO I've ever seen. I honestly wanna learn to work like him...
You know Nancy_he is too passionate for his work. I love the aura his personality reflects,so authoritative!
When he leads the meetings of our projects,it looks so cool.....So perfect"
The lady looked upto her taebear who was staring outside the window,lost in the imagination... and forgot to turn off the tap.
"His plans and strategies are too perfect. Honestly he's the living sculpture of what I dreamt to become one day."
Nancy brought him back to reality by snapping her fingers,
"I need that spatula you're holding,"she said averting her gaze to the said object.
"Huh?....Oh sorry"taehyung rinsed it with water before handing over to the lady.
"You seem quite impressed by him, what's his name?"
"Of course, I respect him a lot. The Jeon Jungkook...Only heir of Jeons Empire! " Taehyung replied in a proud tone,giggling afterwards at his childish behaviour. Nancy laughed looking at the cuteness of his taebear.
Meanwhile,a bunny smile made its way on the handsome face of CEO, eavesdropping their conversation.
'Why am I so happy to hear my name from him? That vibe is so exciting_I never felt it before,' he thought to himself while trying to control the grin that was growing with each second.
Being satisfied with the information he got, jungkook headed towards the parked car near a tree,and soon drove off towards his mansion.
________________
It was six in the evening when taehyung finally got hold of time and left Nancy's place. He sped up the car and headed towards Jin's house.
He was driving through the not-so-busy highway, when something on his rearview mirror caught his attention. He noticed a bike,at some distance, chasing but not overtaking his car,even though he slowed up the speed. The man was well built with good height as well.
At first, taehyung guessed it to be namjoon or bogum hyung, but soon discarded the thought as it seemed impossible.
After some minutes,he noticed the bike speeding up and in another instance the man driving it was right beside taehyung,staring at him through the window that was closed. Taehyung tried to speed up and same did the man. This was the moment,younger started to panic.
A loud bang on his window glass startled him so badly that he almost hit the tree on sideways. He saw the man now constantly banging onto it, probably trying to break the glass.
"Damn it! What should I do? I can't speed up any more!
And who is this bastard in the middle of this highway?"
The car was hit by the bike through sideway,and it became difficult for taehyung to keep the balance further.
He dialed a number that his reflexes told him to, at the moment.
"Please! Jungkooksiiii.....Just pick up the call..."
Taehyung was startled once again by the constantly banging horns from behind. He saw the man, totally disguised in black clothes, speeding up crazily.
And in a mere span of few seconds,he was nowhere to be seen.
The line too was cut off, as jungkook didn't receive the youngers call.
The incident definitely made taehyung scared and panicked,yet he decided not to tell anyone about this_thinking they would worry too much about him.
It seemed like the sole purpose behind that random attack was to disturb taehyung mentally and to emplace fear inside him.

The Lonely King
He began walking over to me. This is it. I'm dead. I saw his shoes come into my view as I was looking down, hair covering my face. "Look at me." He growled out. I started to cry, too afraid to look. He grasped my chin and lifted my face to meet his. I mentally gasped. It's the guy from last night. His eyes held surprise too, before anger erupted in them. I cowered back in fear of what he might do."Who did this to your face?" He growled. I started to cry again and shake."Him." I whispered and gave a small nod toward the guy who hit me.
