With a cup of coffee in his hands Taehyung walked to his husband's study.
He took deep breaths to calm himself down from the surge of emotions.
What he said to Jimin in the hallway was out of impulse. But he didn't regret a single bit of it.
There was a need for a elder to hear it. To realise his worth. Now Taehyung could hope that his words would somehow affect the elder positively.
He could just hope.
••••••••••••••••••••••••••
"So you finally took the first step and apologised to him."
"Yes I apologised to Taehyung." Repeated Jungkook on the phone.
"Great Jungkook. You did good."
" I know it will take sometime. But you and Taehyung will make it work. I am sure of it." Assured Dr. Yugyeom.
Jungkook smiled a little and hummed.
"Now do what I told you earlier. And don't call me again until you do it. Alright ?"
"What------? "
And the call ended as Jungkook looked at the phone screen and sighed putting away the device.
"How am I going to do that ?" He muttered thoughtfully.
Just than he heard a knock. So he sat straight on his chair and looked up.
"Yes ? "He said softly.
He saw Taehyung peak into his room with a shy smile.
"Your coffee." mumbled the younger softly.
To Jungkook Taehyung looked so adorable and pretty but did he voice out his thoughts. No.
He just nodded with his lips sealed tightly. His expression blank.
Taehyung slipped in the room. His gaze set down. He never was able to look at the other's dark orbs for long.
The intimidating aura of Jungkook was just too much for him. But at the same time those eyes seemed deep and lost that Taehyung found himself captivated.
He slowly placed the cup on the table. All while Jungkook observed the latter silently.
Taehyung felt uncomfortable under the gaze as he gulped and looked up and finally met other's eyes.
"Do you need anything else ?" He asked.
"No" husked his husband.
"O-oh than I leave you to it. But please don't forget to rest for a while you are working really hard these days. And don't take too much stress. It's not good for you. " Said Taehyung.
He turned around and walked upto the door.
All while Jungkook was quiet.
His hands reached for the door knob but stopped midway when he heard his name.
"Yes ? " He asked confused. His head tilted to one side.
"Let's eat out today. I want to try a new place."
"Huh?" Questioned Taehyung Shocked.
" I said let's eat out today. So go and get" ready and prepare a suit for me too. Repeated Jungkook. His voice stern. He looked calm outside but he was nervous and anxious on the inside.
"Ok------Okay. I guess I'll go and get ready." Said Taehyung and immediately ran out.
Jungkook sighed and leaned back on the chair. Soon a small smile bloomed on his face.
Taehyung is just so adorable.
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Taehyung laid down Jungkook's suit on the bed like usual and walked into the bathroom with his outfit to change.
He stopped thinking about Jungkook's actions and decided to just go with it.
He's not going to deny the fact that he felt joyed after coming out from the study.

A dinner with Jungkook all alone. A dinner with his husband. His extremely handsome husband.
His heart beat fastened and he smiled brightly.
He don't know what's happening. But he's liking the change.
With a beautiful smile on his face he turned around to check his outfit in the mirror.
He looked so ethereal.
He smiled at himself and got out just to see the suit on the bed gone.
He was about to head out to look for his husband when he heard a knock.
"Come in." he said softly.
A young maid entered the room.
"Master Jungkook is waiting for you downstairs." she informed politely.
"Oh alright. You can go. I'll be there in a second."
•••••••••••••••••••••••••
Jungkook looked at the time on his watch. It was still not late.
Than again his gaze set upon stairs as he waited for Taehyung.
He patiently waited for his husband.
He heard a noise. So he looked up and his breath hitched. He just watched Taehyung come down from the stairs looking so-----so heavenly.
He looked at the latter in awe.
Suddenly he felt pride built in his chest. He was proud that Taehyung is his husband. Taehyung is his.
Only his. And with pride came possessiveness.
He always felt like this whenever he saw Taehyung.
He didn't realise that Taehyung was now standing in front of him.
"Beautiful" the words left his lips subconsciously.
Taehyung's eyes widened at the compliment. Jungkook never did that.
He hated himself for blushing at just one word. But it was different this time. It felt like Jungkook meant it. Not like he always did in front of others.
It was different. It felt different.
Again his heart was ready to burst out as Jungkook continued to look at him with a piercing gaze.
No doubt Jungkook's handsome. And like always he never failed to make Taehyung's knees weak.
Jungkook was in his own world as he stared at Taehyung admiring him.
When the gaze got too much for him. Taehyung coughed a little successfully snapping his husband out from his thoughts.
"Let's---------- Let's go. We'll be late------late otherwise." stuttered Taehyung with a red hue on his cheek.
Jungkook eyes widened as he got a hold of himself and realised his action.
"Yeah----Yeah let's go. " He said and than cursed himself for stuttering.
And turned around to walk out of the mansion hurriedly. So that Taehyung could not see the small blush on his face.
Taehyung stiffened a giggle and nodded following him out.
••••••••••••••••••••••••••
To his surprise Jungkook was driving on his own.
Like a gentleman Jungkook opened the door for him.
Mumbling a shy Thank you Taehyung sat down in the car.
And Jungkook smirked a little because he obviously noticed the blush on the other's face.
The car ride through the destination was a silent one. But it was not an awkward one. It was comfortable silence.
Taehyung was looking at scene out of the window whereas Jungkook focused on driving.
••••••••••••••••••••••••••
When Taehyung got out of the car he looked at the building first. It was a one of the top and most expensive hotel with best restaurant and club. Basically best at everything and he remembers it clearly that Namjoon had just done partnership with the hotel owner.
Jungkook also got out of the car and joined him.
But his actions again shocked Taehyung.
Whenever they were in public Jungkook always held him by his waist but this time the latter softly slide his hands in his and interlaced their fingers.

Startled Taehyung looked up at him just to see him looking forward with the same stern expression.
"Come on ." said Jungkook in a gravely tone and pulled the latter with him.
They passed through the entrance and lobby. Taehyung also saw the door that led to the club as it was just a little away from the restaurant in the big hallway.
"Table for Jeon Jungkook." said Jungkook as he approached the lady on the counter as the classical music played in the background.
Taehyung was busy admiring interior that he didn't realise he was being guided towards his seat. He only realised it when Jungkook cleared his throat and pulled the seat for him.
And he blushed again. He was blushing a lot today. He smiled at the latter gratefully and sat down on the soft cushion chair.
Jungkook soon sat in front of him. Jungkook watched Taehyung as the latter admired the interior yet again.
Soon a waiter arrived and greeted them.
"Would you both fancy some wine ? It's one of the finest ." Asked the waiter.
"No thank you maybe another time but for now just give both of us a non alcoholic drink please." Answered Jungkook for both of them.
He knows Taehyung is not a fan of alcohol and he's also not feeling like drinking.
Taehyung watched waiter go back. He turned his face in front to only see Jungkook looking at him.
"Did you like it ? "He questioned.
"Yes. I really like it." Answered Taehyung as he looked everywhere except at him.
Jungkook gulped as he remembered Dr. Yugyeom's words.
Try to get to know him better, compliment him, smile more and show him the real you.
"Taehyung" he called and the latter looked at him confused.
"Yes."
"You are really beautiful." He said confidentially.
Taehyung blinked his eyes as he tried to understand what just happened before he knew Jungkook said it accidentally but this time it was definitely not a accident.
But soon he turned red and ducked his head.
"Thank-----Thankyou. " He said softly.
And Jungkook smirked he loved the way he affected Taehyung.
Just than the waiter came back with their drinks and placed them on the table with the menu.
Taehyung tried to act normal but his red tinted cheeks gave him away.
"Please choose your orders. I'll get back with you in a while." said the waiter and walked away.
Taehyung immediately grabbed the menu and distracted himself.
Jungkook didn't move an inch. He sat there and observed his husband.
Taehyung was subconsciously pouted as he contemplated his order.
Cute
Jungkook himself didn't realise that he was smiling looking at him.
"Decided ? " Asked Jungkook when he saw Taehyung put the menu down.
Taehyung nodded with a smile.
"Tell me something about yourself. "
"Huh"
" I just want to know about my husband more ." said Jungkook with a small smile. He tried to let go of his fear. He knows how kind Taehyung is.
"Oh------- but there's nothing interesting about me. " replied the latter.
"I don't think that's true and I don't care either. Tell me anything."
"Well I mostly like to read books and I also loved taking pictures. " Answered Taehyung.
Taehyung had no idea what's going on and why Jungkook is doing all this. But he can see the efforts Jungkook is putting in. It's confusing and Taehyung wants to ask him about it but he doesn't. He chooses not to and tried to go with the flow.
Although he continuously reminds himself to not get his hopes up.
"Loved ? "
"I don't really take pictures now. I lost my camera two years ago. "
"Oh okay. And what kind of books do you like ? " Asked Jungkook genuinely interested.
"I like books of every genre but my favourite is mystery "
And that's all it took for Taehyung to get started on the authors, the books he loves and why he likes this kind of stories.
He went on and on and Jungkook listened to all of it attentively.
Taehyung opened up to Jungkook. They ordered the food and ate it. All while Taehyung continuously talked about his all time favourite book.
His eyes were sparkling with joy. And Jungkook loved the scene in front of him.
"I love the suspense. It keeps me on the edge of my seat------------" rambled Taehyung as Jungkook nodded with a smile.
"I know you are really busy but you should try them too. They are really g--------"
Jungkook smiled as he wiped Taehyung's mouth with a napkin.
He stopped talking and his heart stopped for a second. Taehyung stared at Jungkook blinking startled from the sudden action.
"There was something on your lips." said Jungkook nonchalantly and resumed eating.
Taehyung was flustered. So he remained quiet after that and tried to control his heart beat which was racing fast.
••••••••••••••••••••
"It was fun. We should do it again." mumbled Jungkook as they got out of the restaurant.
Taehyung just hummed being too flustered to reply in words. They were holding hands.
Just as Taehyung stood up from their table Jungkook interlaced their fingers yet again.
They were walking to the main lobby when one of the acquaintance called Jungkook's name.
Jungkook turned to look at the intruder and forced a smile.
"Wait here. I'll go and greet him for a minute. " Said Jungkook.
And Taehyung nodded with a smile.
It's one of the best night Taehyung had in a long time. And he's really happy.
Taehyung watched Jungkook move to the the latter quickly.
He was looking around when the door to the club opened.
He turned to look at the direction when he heard the blasting music.
He had a clear view of inside the club. He was about to look away but he saw a familiar figure at the bar.
He furrowed his eyebrows as he looked at his hyung.
That Victor was also there but what made Taehyung worried was how his hyung looked so ---------lost.
Jimin's eyes looked so vulnerable. He saw how Jimin talked to the other.
" Oh Hyung" he mumbled softly when he saw Jimin breathing heavy.
Taehyung walked a few steps towards him but stopped when he saw Jimin getting up.
He saw how Jimin was about to come out of the club. He saw how Victor held his wrist.
And Taehyung's saw Jimin eyes water as he shook his head.
He saw how Victor connected his lips with Jimin even after the elder declined.
He gasped in shock. He froze. He saw the pain in his hyung's eyes and it scared him.
But soon the shock turned into anger. How dare Victor to treat his hyung like that.
He stepped forward mad. Already planning to give Victor piece of his mind.

Today was a great day. I died. It wasn't a great day because I died. No, it was a great day and I died. One has nothing to do with the other. Enough nonsense. Let's continue with the topic we're all curious about. Why was it a great day? I achieved my dream to transform my real life into an MMORPG. Grinding skills, leveling up, collecting coins, going on an adventure, and making progress on my main quest. The dream of every gamer. And no, I'm not mad. Let me give you some context before we continue. I'll keep it short, for we have more urgent matters to discuss. Art by: Roland Deaconu
8 130The God Complex
Alon wishes to be remembered—to stamp his existence on this cruel world, to engrave the fact that "he was here" into the very Earth. This is his sole purpose; To be important. For what greater reason is there to exist if not to be remembered? People are special. People aren’t... Your actions in this life define how those left behind remember you. Once you die, you’re reborn and live on, if only for a time; The grander the actions in this life, the longer your second one becomes. Alon knows this better than anyone, and he will live in the minds and hearts of everyone in Krestelen longer than anyone that has come before. Krestelen is a place long forgotten by those outside its walls; known by most as the Cursed City of The Dead, with the Lower Tier of the City being abandoned by the Upper Tiers after an inexplicable Fog blanketed the entire sector thirty-four years ago. This Fog adds those unfortunate enough to be caught within it into the legions of Vacant roaming the empty streets of the city: A creature that has seemingly lost all reasoning and sanity, to wander around the streets crying into the palms of their hands as they beg for help, to be freed from their condition. This is the place that Alon, and the Gang led by his mentor Casian, shall steal the very source of what gives those in power—the rightfully ruling family, the Deramore's—their ability to live in luxury as those below in the Lower Tier struggles to survive. They will forever be cast into the annals of the history of this cursed place—for better, or for worse.

On the second jump, Claire's bad leg gave way and she felt herself tumbling forward. A cry of surprise escaped her and Claire was certain she was about to topple off the side of the train. Alek, however, moved quickly, catching her mid-fall and keeping her upright, and alive. Claire lifted her eyes to meet his which were wide with alarm. The expression was fleeting, lasting for only a moment before it was replaced by a frown. "You could have fallen," he said pointedly."I know," Claire breathed, finding her thoughts drifting to the strong arm wrapped around her waist. A flush rose to her cheeks and she was grateful for the biting wind that masked her reaction. "Thank you.""You need to be more careful," he continued, his eyes locked on hers, bright and haunting in the silver glow of the moon overhead."I will," Claire assured him, her heart skipping in her chest. "I promise."------1st Place in the Chaos Awards2nd Place in the Mystic Awards2nd Place in the Stella Luna Awards2nd Place in the Talent Awards 2018Highest Ranking #1 In SteampunkFound on the official Wattpad Fantasy account featured reading list "Wintery Worlds"
