Jin furrowed his eyebrows when he saw Jungkook, Taehyung and Jimin come home together from the window of his room.
But he simply shrugged and turned around.
It does not concern me.
He told himself and walked upto the big dresser in his room. He silently sat on the cushioned stool as he stared at his reflection in the mirror.
Classical music played in the background. His husband Kim Namjoon sat on the bed leaning against the headboard with a book in his hand.
With a cotton pad Jin removed his makeup. His eyes dull.
With each swipe he could see the really him.
Dark circles and the swollen eyes because of the all the crying. The tired face.
Without any expression he stared at his reflection. The beautiful and once shinning face now looked sorrowful.
He sighed and got up from the stool. Slowly he walked upto the bed and slipped in. Pulling the expensive and soft covers over him.
No one conversed in their room. The music covered the silence.
Jin peered at the ceiling as he laid on his back. He wondered about how all the changes occured.
But like everytime he didn't get any answer and he didn't even realise when he fell asleep thinking about everything.
••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Jin groggily opened his eyes when he heard the loud sound of his alarm clock.
His hand lazily reached the bed side table and turned the alarm off.
He streched his arm to the other side of the bed to look for his husband. Only to find the side empty and cold.
What did he expect ?
His eyes watered as he thought about his pathetic life. All he wanted was just to stay under the comfort of his bed and cry.
But it didn't really happen as he heard a knock on his door. He groaned a little and blinked his tears away.
Jin lifted himself and sat on the bed.
"Come in" he said.
A maid soon entered the room and bowed to him.
Jin just nodded at her in acknowledgement.
"Good morning master Jin what should we make for breakfast today ?" She asked.
"Go and wait in the kitchen. I'll decide something and tell you later." Answered Jin as the maid nodded and walked out.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••
Jin looked at his appearance. He was ready for a new day. The makeup was back on his face.
Just than he heard another knock. It's probably another servant to ask him something and he sighed already feeling tired.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Jin walked down the stairs with a straight posture. He was looking around to make sure the servants were doing their jobs perfectly.
He entered the living room and sat on one of the couch as a tea was served to him.
As usual he picked up one of the magazine from the table to read it.
But a doorbell took his attention. And after few minutes he saw Hoseok guiding someone inside.
Jin eyes widened a little as he got up from the seat and bowed to other with a smile.
"Mr. Kim it's good to see you. "He greeted.
••••••••••••••••••••••••••
"How are you these days Mr. Kim ? "Asked Jin as he passed elder a cup of tea.

"I am good Jin. All the work can be tiring but I can manage." answered the elder.
Jin smiled.
"Don't get too much immersed in work Mr. Kim. Get some time for yourself too." Said Jin.
But Jin also knew that there's someone who needs this advice too.
Mr. Kim chuckled and nodded.
Just than Yoongi entered the room and bowed to the elder.
"Good to see you sir. It's been a while ." he said with a smile.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••
"I heard about the business deal you cracked recently Yoongi. I am really impressed I know it must have been tough but you still pulled through." said Mr. Kim.
"Thankyou sir ." replied Yoongi with a smile.
"The business was indeed tough but we are Jeons Mr. Kim. I know that we would have done it even if the deal was impossible. " Came a voice as everyone turned around to look at Namjoon who was now walking down the stairs.
"Namjoon " said Mr. Kim as he stood up to shake hands with the man.
"Mr. Kim" said Namjoon as he shook his hand.
"What brought you here today sir ?" Asked Namjoon as both of them took a seat with Jin and Yoongi.
"You know since Taehyung left the mansion I feel like something's missing. And I feel a little lonely these days. So I was thinking that I could take Taehyung with me for few days." Explained Mr. Kim
'Ofcourse you can take Taehyung with you. He's your son." Muttered Jin with a smile.
Taehyung's dad smiled at them.
"By the way Mr. Jeon called me last week."
"Our dad ? " Asked Namjoon with furrowed eyebrows.
"Yeah. It was some business talk but he also told me that he is coming here to celebrate his aniversary." Muttered the elder as Namjoon nodded.
All of sudden Namjoon , Yoongi and Jin were more serious.
But they all stopped talking when a voice was heard.
"Dad." He said loudly this time.
"Taehyung" his dad said as he turned to look at him.
"Great you are here. Pack your bags we are leaving." his dad said suddenly.
Taehyung blinked his eyes confused.
"What ? " He asked
His father laughed at his reaction.
"Don't stress. I miss you and the house has been lonely so I am taking you with me for few days. But seriously pack your bags fast I have a meeting to attend later." Said Mr. Kim and Taehyung nodded in understanding.
"Though I hope it's okay with Jungkook if I take his husband away for a few days." joked the elder as he looked at the latter.
Jungkook immediately stepped forward and bowed to him.
"It's not like that dad. I don't have amy problem. I am sure Taehyung misses you too. " He said.
Taehyung smiled. The thought of spending some time with his dad made him happy.
But one was not happy. Jimin stared at the scene wide eyed. He really doesn't want to let go of his comfort right now. He needs someone and Taehyung was his support.
•••••••••••••••••••••••
Taehyung was arranging his clothes in his bag when he heard a knock. So he turned around only to see Jimin come in his room.
"Hyung you want something ?" Asked the the younger.

Jimin shook his head as tears gathered in his eyes.
Taehyung saw it and immediately frowned.
"Hyung what happened ? Are you okay ?" He asked softly and pulled the elder in a hug.
"Can---can I come with you ?" He questioned stuttering.
"What ? "
"Can I come with you to your house. I don't want to stay here for now. The atmosphere around here is suffocating me. I'm tired Taehyung."
"I'm tired." said Jimin as he sobbed. He hugged Taehyung.
Jimin looked so dejected and it broke his heart
"Sure hyung you can come with us." Mumbled the younger as he rubbed other's back in assurance.
Jimin pulled back and looked at him.
"But what will we say to everyone ? " He asked.
" Don't worry hyung. I'll handle that you go and pack okay ?" said Taehyung and the other nodded.
Soon Jimin walked to his room.
••••••••••••••••••••••
"You're packed ? " asked Taehyung's dad when he came to his son room.
"Yeah I am almost done ." He replied.
"Dad ? "
"Yes."
"Can we take Jimin Hyung with us too ?"
The elder furrowed his eyebrows.
"I don't mind but why ?" He asked.
"It's just he have been all cooped up all the time. And he needs a change so I thought maybe I could take him with us." said Taehyung.
"Oh I understand. Than I'll just go and talk to Jin about taking Jimin with us." said the elder as his son nodded with smile.
"Thankyou dad. "
"It's nothing son."
••••••••••••••••••••••••••
"So the packings done ?" Asked Jungkook when he entered the room.
"Yeah it is." Answered Taehyung with a smile.
The pair stared at each other.
Jungkook wanted to say something to his husband. But he himself didn't know what it was.
Taehyung stood there and looked at him expectedly.
It was an uncomfortable silence.
Not being able to handle it. Jungkook cleared his throat loudly.
"Let's go your dad's waiting." muttered Jungkook as Taehyung nodded and turned around to take his bag.
He was about to lift it but stopped.
"I'll take it. " Said Jungkook and picked it up immediately walking out.
Taehyung just stared at the way he went out blinking.
••••••••••••••••••••••••
When Taehyung reached outside he saw Jimin waiting for him.
Jin and Jungkook was also there.
Jungkook was helping his dad with the bags as he stood beside Jimin.
Jin approached them.
"Enjoy your time there because after you both are back things will get busy." Said Jin.
"What do you mean hyung ? " Questioned Jimin.
"Our In-laws will come here to celebrate their aniversary. "
And their eyes widened.
"Mr. Kim was requesting about you to go with him too. And I was not able to deny them so be on your best behavior Jimin." Muttered the elder as the other nodded.
"I am only taking Jimin and Taehyung with me this time but next time you're also coming with us Jin. " said Mr. Kim.
"Sure." replied Jin with a smile.
"Now come on kids. It's time to go. "
Jimin went to sit in the car as Taehyung followed him.
But he turned around only to see Jin walking back inside but his husband still stood on the door step staring at him with some emotion.
Taehyung gulped under the gaze. But still he gave him a smile and waved at Jungkook.
Jungkook eyes widened as he saw Taehyung wave at him. He didn't know why but this action made him feel happy.
Taehyung looked so adorable.
He didn't realise when he lifted his arm up and started waving back.
Taehyung was already in the car when he saw Jungkook. Their eyes met as he smiled at him.
His heart beat fastened. The new change in Jungkook made him feel so many things.
The car was driven away from the mansion as Jungkook stared at it.
Have fun and relax Taehyung. You need it.
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Jungkook stared at the wall in his study.
He was not able to focus on the work.
The absence of Taehyung's presence made him sad. He and his husband never talked to each other that much. But still they were used to each other's presence.
His room was too quiet for his liking. He was not able to hear Taehyung shuffle around the the room which unknowingly annoyed him.
Jungkook sighed tired.
He heard a knock on his door.
"Come in ." he mumbled.
A servant came in the room with a cup of coffee in his hand.
Jungkook gazed at the cup of coffee which was now on his table.
"I miss your presence Taehyung. And not a single day have passed."
••••••••••••••••••••••
Taehyung walked in his old room after showing Jimin their garden.
He looked at the wall clock and saw the time.
"I wonder if Jungkook got his coffee or not ? " He thought aloud.
"I hope he did. "
•••••••••••••••••••••••
"Here's your watch and wallet." said Taehyung timidly as Jungkook turned around to look at him.
"Where was it ? I was looking for them for so long. "Muttered Jungkook in a husky voice.
"It was on the table. I guess you missed them. " he said
"But I looked for them there." said Jungkook.
And Taehyung just meekly shrugged.
"Anyways give them I am getting late. " He said as he roughly pulled the wallet and watch from Taehyung and walked out.
Jungkook remembered their interaction.
"You were so sacred of everything in the start. I remember how you jumped and got startled at every loud sound. "
"You were so careful with your every move. It was simply just so adorable to watch."
Jungkook smiled as he remembered the shy and quiet Taehyung.
••••••••••••••••••••••••
The next day in the morning Jungkook found himself standing in front of the closet contemplating on what to wear.
How tough could be to choose an outfit he thought but it was indeed tough.
He was so confused because of so many choices.
" I never chose an outfit before. Taehyung was always there. And now I am all confused ." He mumbled as he rubbed the back of his head.
••••••••••••••••••••••••••
After finally choosing a suit. Jungkook was tieing his tie when he suddenly remembered how close Taehyung's face was to him when his husband was tieing his tie.
Jungkook closed his eyes frustrated.
Everything's reminding him of Taehyung.
•••••••••••••••••••••
Jungkook bit his lips in order to not shout at the servant.
He was annoyed because he got his morning coffee late.
If Taehyung was here this would have not happen he thought.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••
Jungkook scoffed when he saw his room was still a mess.

Stranger than Fiction (Draft Edition)
Rewrite -> https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/55140/stranger-than-fiction 150k words of rewritten and new content, updating 3 times a day. Faith is like ice-cream. It comes in all flavors. Greek, Norse, Sumerian, Christian— just name it and it's there. Adventures, on the other hand, are like credit cards. The first taste is free, but the price only goes up from there. Family heirlooms, now those are true evil. You get burdened with them for sentimental reasons even if they’re icky. For Lukas Aguilar, it was a pendant. A small, weird metal nib with absolutely no vampiric tendencies. All he wanted was to finish the job at hand, and get on that book he had been postponing for a while now. Instead he got served with an apocalypse for breakfast, a cave full of eldritch monsters for the company and the whims of a ruined goddess for his To-Do list. Really, a simple NO from the universe would have sufficed. Acknowledgments Editor-in-Chief: Solo Starfish Artwork: Exodus

8 145The Lies They Told Me: Short stories from my life
Like many of my peers, I've discovered that life is not quite what I expected it to be. As I age, I've begun to find that many of the sayings and truths that my parents, authority figures, and friends have passed on to me were outright lies. Every person I know has been subject to the same interactions, which got me thinking, why not write a compilation of stores about my life experiences to date. I hope that this book will help all of us come to terms with the realities that we face today or deal with some of our deepest feelings about the past. Maybe these people lied to us and maybe they honestly believed the myriad of things they told us, but either way I think we can have a good laugh looking back and remembering the first times that we realized these things weren't true. I also hope that you can look back at the lies, or life lessons, that you've learned and can be inspried to own your stories and share them with others in a genuine way. Wiithout further ado, I hope that you enjoy the many short stories of my life that made me who I am today. These stories range from funny to down right surrel, so good luck on your journey!
8 89Being Frank
**Author's Note** This was my 7th attempt at writing this story. I've worked on the story since 20 years ago but my writing style and skills haven't been satisfactory to me. So after working as a digital content manager for 2 years and after a very long deliberation I've decided to drop this 7th attempt and start on my 8th attempt. This 8th attempt will be the same story but starting from a different point in the timeline of my story. Thank you for your support on this 7th try, it is only due to your reviews and comments that I have the confidence to work hard on my 8th attempt. I started on my 8th attempt with the intention that my 8th attempt will be the final one as I'm a lot more confident and content with my where my writing skills are currently at. Volume 1 In a world filled with magic, war, giants and other awesome races lives Frank. Who being Frank is somewhat of a hermit. He loves to tinker with various contraptions trying to bend the laws of magic to his will. Through his successes he has garnered some attention; unwanted attention. If only that was all there was to it. .... war is coming Volume 2 Frank was born as a normal child, born in a normal family. His father was a scientist and was busy working most days. This is also why Frank was especially excited when his father decided to take an extended holiday to travel to Asia with his family. But their trip turns out to be one from which there is no going back. Writer's notice: I will continue to participate in the NaNoWriMo every November till I finish all that I have planned to write. I expect to have this story finished in 14 years approximately.Update:I was unhappy with how I had first written the first and second volume but am leaving the editing and finishing of those volumes till later and have started on the third one. The chronological order so far is 2-1-3. Might fix that too later.
