Taehyung just sighed as he watched Jungkook walk upto their room.
The latter didn't even acknowledge him.
Taehyung's not gonna lie. It hurts him but now he's all familiar with the ache after all he's feeling it for two goddamn years.
"Jin hyung do you need any help?" questioned Taehyung trying to distract himself from the thoughts as he turned to the latter who was now looking at his phone.
"Huh? No it's okay I have everything under control. You should just probably go and get ready for the party." replied Jin as he looked up from the device momentarily.
"Oh! okay I'll just do that." muttered the young boy looking down.
Jin just nodded. This time he didn't even bothered to look up.
Taehyung turned around as he walked towards his rooms face down.
He really doesn't want to go in the room right now. And get reminded of his failed marrige. It's just too early to come to have a reminder for today.
In those four walls. All the facade crumbles down. Even the fake smiles disappears. All that left is just the ignorance and pain.
Taehyung gulped as he now stood in front of the door to his room.
But why is it so hard for him to open the door? Is he ready to face the truth of their marriage yet again today?
Taehyung closed his eyes and took a deep breath as he gathered some courage and finally opened the door.
Just as he stepped in the room. He saw Jungkook sitting on the couch as his laptop was placed in front of him on the coffee table. He is working.
Taehyung resisted the urge to sigh. Jungkook didn't even look up at him. Than on the other hand he never does.
The blond just walked to their big closet and decided to sort out their outfits for tonight.
It's Taehyung's job to layout Jungkook's clothes everyday when he goes to work. And he is also the one that chooses his clothes for the parties.
Not only Taehyung but Jimin and Jin does it too for Yoongi and Namjoon.
When Taehyung moved into the big mansion after getting married. Hoseok told him all about his duties that he's supposed to do when he marries a Jeon. And this is one of them.
Everyone thinks that Jin hyung is throwing this party for Namjoon's hyung achievement. But no one knows that Namjoon hyung instructed Jin hyung to throw this party. Taehyung thought bitterly as he shuffled through the expensive suits.
Just than he heard a knock on their door.
Taehyung figured it's Hoseok with the coffee for Jungkook so he didn't come out from the closet.
Taehyung heard Jungkook say "come in" in his gravely voice.
"Here's your coffee Jungkook" heard the blond.
"Thank you hyung "Taehyung heard Jungkook say which caused the latter to bite his botton lip exasperation.
Jungkook can talk to Hoseok hyung . So why not him. He is his husband for godsake.
Taehyung knows that Jungkook didn't want this wedding. But now they are so he should just accept this fact. And atleast try to get well with him.
But getting well with Jungkook is a like a dream for him. And no matter how hard he tries it will still remain a dream.

Taehyung quietly picked up his and Jungkook's suit and walked back in the room.
The blond looked at his husband who was still in the same position but the difference was that there's a cup of coffee placed right next to the laptop.
Taehyung laid Jungkook's suit on the bed without a word and went to the bathroom to freshen up and get ready to the party.
Only silence prevailed in the room. No one never talks. Taehyung tried to make their relationship work but he gave up too soon. Taehyung gave up just like Jin and Jimin did.
The true air of this big mansion of Jeons affected him too.
•••••••••••••••••••••••
Taehyung looked at himself in the large mirror placed in the bathroom one last time.
His skin glowed in the white suit he wore.
He's supposed to wear white formal suits like Jin and Jimin.
Jin specifically told him and Jimin to wear this because it goes well with theme and help them look like a perfect family to the society even if they are so far from that.
Taehyung always make sure to look your perfect. Because you represent The Jeons now the latter remembered the words Namjoon told him when he attended the first party after his wedding.
I think I look perfect. Just like a Jeon is supposed to look like.
Thought the boy.
••••••••••••••••••••••••
When Taehyung entered his room again. Jungkook was nowhere to be found and the suit which he laid on the bed earlier was missing too.
The blond ignored the heavy feeling he felt and walked out of the room.
The boy passed through the main hall where part was supposed to held and saw the servants make last minute arrangements. All engrossed in their work.
Some bowed to Taehyung when they saw him to which Taehyung just smiled at them.
The blond stepped in kitchen and saw none of the chefs there. Only Jin was present there as arranged the some appetizers on the platter.
"Hyung "Taehyung called out.
"Oh ! Taehyung you are here " said Jin as he turned around towards the younger.
Taehyung noticed the other's eyes which seemed a little red. He's been crying again.
"Yes "replied the younger. Oh so badly he wanted to comfort his hyung and talk to him but Taehyung knew better. So he just ignored the puffy eyes of other.
"Great. The food is all prepared and ready to serve. Make sure that the guests get the drinks and snacks as soon as they arrive" Said Jin as he looked at the boy.
"Don't worry Hyung. I'll make sure of it." replied Taehyung with a smile
"I'm leaving this to you. I just need to do my make up again" said Jin as he didn't make an eye contact with the latter and started to walk away.
More like to remove the traces that showed that you were crying thought Taehyung and a silent sad chuckled escaped his lips.
"And yes before I forget. It's your duty to make sure Jimin doesn't get drunk tonight. Its a very important night for our business" muttered Jin as he stopped midway but didn't turn around.
Taehyung turned around to look at his hyung's back.
"Okay hyung "Taehyung replied as his big eyes stared at Jin's back. And watched how Jin stepped out of kitchen

••••••••••••••••••
Taehyung and Jungkook were incharge of welcoming the guests. So the pair stood in front of the big main door of the house waiting for the guests.
The gates were open so the guests could walk right upto them.
"Welcome Mr. and Mrs. Park. It's been too long I saw you both. How are you this fine evening ?" Taehyung heard Jungkook say.
Jungkook had the same business like smile as always as his one hand was wrapped around latter's waist for the show.
Taehyung also had a small smile on his face but the boy was not really sure whether it was fake or not. But probably it was fake because of the pang he felt in his heart.
The guest were talking to Jungkook and sometimes to Taehyung too.
But the boy got tired of just standing there and excused himself to check on the things Jin told him to do.
Just as he entered the party hall. He was greeted by the scenes of guest warming up to each other as some music played in the background. The blond also saw Yoongi mingling with the guest.
But he saw something that made him frown.Did Yoongi hyung actually brought her here at the Party? Thought Taehyung as he saw the girl who was standing right beside Yoongi.
Namjoon hyung would not be happy. Taehyung thought as he decided to look away.
Taehyung looked around the hall and tried to find Jimin and he successfully found the boy in the bar.
Taehyung sighed deeply as he walked upto Jimin but he didn't forget to smile at the guests who made an eye contact with him.
Just as Taehyung reached near Jimin. He frowned as he saw the latter.
"Hyung what are you wearing?" hissed Taehyung quietly as he stood right beside Jimin.
"What ? I am obviously wearing clothes Taehyung-ah " replied Jimin but he kept looking at the drink in his hand as he twirled the glass around.
"I know that hyung but Jin hyung specially told us to wear white formal suits. He will be pissed "whispered Taehyung making sure no one around them could hear what they are saying.
"Would you chill. Atleast it's white" muttered Jimin as he took a drink of alcoholic beverage.
Taehyung just stared at him in disbelief.
But didn't say anything back.
Soon something caught his eyes. Jin and Namjoon finally entered the hall hand in hand with the big smiles on their faces. But blond could tell how hollow those smiles were.
Jin just like him was clad in white formal suit looking as beautiful as ever.
Whereas Namjoon wore the black suit just like Yoongi and Jungkook.
The couple acted like they were so in love as they became the centre of the party.
They mingled and talked to the guests with a their Oh so big smiles
Namjoon's smile was professional whereas Jin hyung acted like he's so happy.
Taehyung saw how Mr. Lee approached the couple. And how Jin's fake smile turned into a real one. No one talks that much in the family but he knows that Mr. Lee and Jin adores each other.
"Jin my son how are you ?"asked Lee as he hugged the latter
Jin almost melted in the warm embrace and hugged back.
"I am fine uncle. How are you ? It's been long." Asked Jin with a smile as he pulled back.
"Yes it's been long. You didn't visit me these days. Is everything fine? "asked Lee.
Namjoon just stood beside Jin holding hands.
"Yes everything's fine just the work gets to me." chuckled Jin
'Namjoon is making you work harder. Is it like that Joon?" asked Mr. Lee his voice held some humor.
But before Namjoon could say something Jin answered.
"It's nothing like that. You know charity work is taking all my time" answered Jin smile never leaving his lips.
"Oh ! okay but Namjoon better take care of you" said Mr. Lee.
"I always do" chuckled Namjoon as he wrapped his arm around Jin's waist and brought the latter close.
The three of them laughed a little at the statement.
"How can Jin hyung do this all ?" Taehyung subconsciously said aloud.
"Years -------------------and years you get used to all of this" Jimin answered him
Taehyung turned and stared at Jimin as the latter continued his drink.
Just than Taehyung saw Jungkook enter the hall. It seems like all the guests are here thought Taehyung.
But someone next to Jungkook caught his eye.
He's also here thought Taehyung as he turned back and stared at Jimin who was ordering his next glass.
"Hyung I think it's enough for you. We don't want you drunk now do we? "Said Taehyung as bit his tongue to not ask anything.
From his peripheral view he also caught Jin and Namjoon looking at them subtly.
Jin was obviously frowning as he eyed Jimin's outfit.
And Namjoon had a crease on his forehead as he glared at Yoongi from afar.
They noticed Taehyung thought.
"Hyung please stop drinking. Hyungs are already as it is " muttered Taehyung as he tried to take the glass which the waiter just handed it to Jimin.
Jimin just swatted his hand away.
"Look at him bringing the bitch here" said Jimin bitterly.
Taehyung immediately got the context and sighed.
"But you also brought him her--------- "said Taehyung but stopped when Jimin glared at him.
"I am sorry Hyung. It was out of the li---------"Taehyung murmured as he tried to apologise but Jimin cut him off.
"Don't just don't with me Taehyung. Instead of being here with me you should just focus on your husband who always ignores you" snapped the elder.
Ouch that hurt thought Taehyung but tried to ignore the hurtful words and to take the glass again.
"Hyung please stop." said Taehyung quietly.
Jimin didn't let him and the glass accidentally slipped from the latter's hand too.
Taehyung gulped as he heard the glass broke and closed his eyes with so much force.
Everyone's attention was on the pair now. Jimin just ignored the stares and just smiled at everyone his facade coming up.
Taehyung immediately bowed to everyone as an apology and told them to just continue saying it was just an accident.
But Just as Taehyung straightened his back his eyes met Namjoon's and Jin's. And he knew there are so many things that went wrong tonight.
Namjoon wanted this party to be perfect but the party sure as hell wasn't perfect.

The Infinite Labyrinth
(Story complete - Book 1 "Shanghaied", 2 "Shortcuts", 3 "Secrets" and 4 "Sanctions") It is the 19th century, and war smoulders between England and France. Any hope for a quick end to Napoleon's rampage across Europe ended when the Great Gates opened in 1800. For a fortunate few, the strange world of the Infinite Labyrinth offers opportunities, strange descriptors popping in their minds, informing them of growth, and status beyond that of a mere mortal. The materials and power crystal they bring back foster a new age, both military and civilian. Aether-powered Skyships prowl the skies, as all the great nations blessed by the Gates try to turn the blessings of the Labyrinth into immediate advantages. But for Jonas, an apprentice leatherworker, his friend Ira, and so many Londoners, the fabled ones that walk the Labyrinth are distant heroes, seen from afar. They fell short when their Potential was measured, and they fill their mundane lives with distant dreams. One man wants to break the stalemate. The Tyrant of the Dominion of France, Napoleon Bonaparte, has a plan. Eighteen years after the world changed, he will force it to change again. And when civilians are caught in the fallout, the unthinkable happens. Six people, unqualified, forbidden to ever enter the Labyrinth, find themselves stranded in a distant zone, forcefully turned into Professionals. They know little of what that means, but they have to figure out the rules that are now their lot, for they have little hope to escape their predicament otherwise. They need to understand what the descriptors in their minds mean, what each of the strange piece of gear waiting in treasure chests behind terrible guardians can bring them. They have to become Professionals on their own and rejoin the Empire. They will figure out their new lives one way or another. But will there be an Empire waiting for them when the Gates re-open? Caught in a clash of empires and high tiers, they will do what little they can. They will step up and do their best. One way or another. The Infinite Labyrinth is a slice-of-life litRPG adventure set in a real historical setting. It's a hard, crunchy litrpg. Expect blue boxes everywhere, and the system itself is very mathy. It started life as a serial. I prepared some proper worldbuilding, with enough details and background for lots of different potential story arcs, but as I wrote, I realized the main story needs to have a definitive end. So, there are four books in total, for a bit under 1500 pages, plus additional side stories, and even maybe a sequel one day. The Gore tag was added as a precaution because there are a few scenes with some light gore.
8 179The Adventure in Arios (Isekai LitRPG)
In the Land of Arios, The Gods Realm. Where all is possible and all is found. Join Morpheus in his adventure in Arios. He encounters all of the unknown, battles the mighty and trains like he doesn't feel pain. Inspired by Azarinth Healer, Defiance of the Fall and Arcane Emperor. This is my first time writing so I apologise for the grammar and spelling in advance. I'm open to criticism so please mention it in the comments and I will see to it in the future. No harems unfortunately sorry to dissapoint, but there is a lot of gore and scenes of a sexual nature.
8 173Young bloods (WIP)
" So-called leaders prostituted their people to wars and abuse. They destroyed families, culture and economies; their hands dyed red by the blood of the children, the families trampled by their lecherous motivations and diabolical war machines. Trained and taught by the Revenants or rather “young bloods” from their war-torn world, we were going to build a better world for us and for the later generations, a world when there shall be no more wars waged over territory, a world where boys and girls can frolic around for all of eternity." -Sasha, Terutan regular army cadet. ‘History is determined by the victors, and here we stand transcended over those who abused us. History is filled with liars, broken promises of eternal prosperity and peace. The more things change, the more things stayed the same: ideology change, location shift but power will always find a place to rest its head. We fought and bled for the adults, the grown men and women who preached of us being their future, preached us of the freedom from tyranny and slavery; no wonder why we hated them so. History is determined by the victor, and there shall be no victors when we’re done.’- Yulia Bronskavya, Red Army Homeguard. As the first modern war came to a close in November 1st, 1918, rows of passed juveniles laid the battlefields. In the name of some royal fat cats or some shitty national leader, cruelty and crimes were committed against the weak and the vulnerable younglings; in other words, adults were assholes. Their deaths marked a new beginning, a new beginning in a strange and magical land that was and had only been dreamt of in stories and folk tale, they had arrived to Terruta. The first ones regarded themselves as Revenants, heroes who had been able to be reborn in this world and began their adventure to explore this strange foreign land. However, “every coin have two sides, like everyone have two faces”. 'As they left their former life behind, the young soldiers and operators found themselves being deceived, abused and taken advantaged off again by the elders of this world. Many were abused, tortured, raped and sold to slavery, Revenants were quite sought after due to their timeless charm, strength, intellect and immortality, they were unable to be killed no matter what; many were bought and used as pets, slaves and entertainers for their masters’ entertainment. Fed up with the similar treatment and abuse by the adults of this world, many revolted and founded ICC, International Cooperative Coalition.'-Sasaki Kotegawa, JSDF Private.
