You can’t forgive without loving. And I don’t mean sentimentality. I don’t mean mush. I mean having enough courage to stand up and say, ‘I forgive. I’m finished with it.’

Jungkook sighed tired as he read the file placed on the table.
The black haired heard a knock and looked up slowly.
"Come in." He grumbled.
His secretary entered the room with a big pile of files in his hands.
"Sir you have to revise these files too." The secretary said in a professional tone.
Jungkook gazed at the big pile with a frown.
"Who sent them ?" He asked as he massaged his temples with fingers.
He was completely drained out. The garden bench was definitely not an ideal place for sleeping. His muscles were sore. And his body ached.
Even though he didn't regret his action from last night. Infact he enjoyed some warm time with his husband.
"Your eldest brother sir." she answered.
Jungkook bit his lips to not groan aloud.
"Keep them on the table." he instructed monotonously and went back to the file.
Jungkook heard the files being placed on the table and his secretary going out of his office.
He stared up at the files for few minutes and than casted his head down closing his eyes with a sigh yet again.
"Looks like I'm going to be stuck here all night. "
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Jimin woke up in frenzy. He didn't have any alcohol intake for more than one or two day.
The married man didn't know it was possible. But apparently it was.
Yes he's yearning for some alcohol. Still there's a desire inside of him but he's trying to suppress it.
The talk with Taehyung forced him to atleast give it a try.
Also he thinks the lack of presence of the pretentious family of Jeon made it viable for him to be sober.
Mr. Kim also was a great help. He diverted Jimin's mind from the thoughts that could alone consume him.
But now he was all alone. After lunch Taehyung walked into his room to take a nap. The younger was yawning all throughout the day. And Mr. Kim was in his office.
They have yet to start gardening too. Due to the hazy weather they postponed the plan to tomorrow.

Jimin wondered if he can just go and take a bottle of wine from Mr. Kim's wine cellar or he can simply go to the upstairs home bar he was shown.
No he shook his head denying the need of alcohol. Jimin took deep breaths to calm himself down.
He desperately wants a distraction. He looked around the room to find something to keep his mind occupied.
His wondered to the big window and saw the dark clouds covering the sky. A distinct earthly smell in the air.
It was quite pleasant.
Hr remembered how much he adored the rain.
A sudden thought came in his mind.
Than why doesn't I adore the rain now ?
He thought about the reason. He tried to get to know himself. He didn't shut down his thoughts.
The sadness inside of Jimin didn't let him enjoy the rain as before. And there were many reasons of his sadness.
As he remembered the reasons Jimin felt his heart fastened. He started feeling suffocating.
"No not again." Jimin muttered dejected.
He doesn't want to drown in his thoughts. Why didn't he shut his thoughts ? He questioned himself.
Just as he was about to give in. He heard the sound of rain hitting the ground getting louder. Jimin took deep breaths as he concentrated on the sound of rain only.
Soon his breathing returned to normal. He slowly opened his eyes. And watched the rain pour down.
Jimin stood there with alot of thoughts in his mind. But he didn't let the bad thoughts consume him this time.
After a while a realisation dawned upon him.
I should not put my happiness at stake because of others. If I love rain I will enjoy it. I will not let my sadness overpower him.
I will be strong.
And Jimin felt relaxed. It was like a small heaviness from his chest disappeared making it easier for him to breathe.
He smiled as he gazed out from the window. Soft wind swaying his dark locks.
Jimin sighed.
"It's looks beautiful. "
"I wish I could paint it. "
He thought sadly but the smile didn't disappear from his face
He kept smiling with his head held high.
In all of this he forgot one thing and that was his desire for alcohol. He successfully diverted his mind for now.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Jungkook stopped writing in the file and looked up to stare at the wall.

Suddenly reminded of a scene that left him dejected and guilty.
"It's late. Please eat something."
Taehyung said in a soft voice.
Just as he heard Taehyung he felt so annoyed.
"Can't you see I am working. Don't be a fucking burden. I am already stressed as it is. "Jungkook hissed through the gritted teeth.
Taehyung felt tears in his eyes.
Jungkook groaned loudly as he hid his face in his hands.
The unexpected memorie made him feel awful.
"God I am an asshole." He mumbled.
Jungkook took a deep breath and shook his head trying to ignore the sudden memory.
However his conscience didn't let him forget. He was not able to focus on his work. The guilt outweighed Jungkook.
His brain loved to remind him the unpleasant memories.
"Should I call him ?" he thought aloud.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••
Taehyung sat on the chair beside the window. A cup of tea placed on the table in front of him.
With a faint smile on his face he admired the beautiful weather outside.
He was in his pajamas from his afternoon nap.
The soft pitter-patter of rain woke him up.
After the nap he felt fresh and energized. His neck not aching now.
He's definitely not sleeping on a bench again.
Taehyung smiled flustered when he remembered the last night events.
Jungkook was different or is Jungkook changing he thought with a frown.
Feeling a little cold he adjusted his warm sweater.
Taehyung's enjoying his time here. He didn't realise before but he needed this change for a while.
"What's happening to you Jeon Jungkook ? " He mumbled as he stared outside.
Soon he heard his phone ring. Taehyung picked up the device from the table.
Jungkook.
"Hello." he answered in a soft tone.
"Hey Taehyung."He heard the same husky voice.
"Hey Jungkook . "
"How are you ? "
"I'm good . How are you Jungkook ?" Asked Taehyung still confused because of the call.
"I'm good as well."
"That's great Jungkook. But why did you call me ?" Questioned Taehyung. The whole conversation was strange.
But he didn't hear any reply which made Taehyung frown.
"Jungkook you there ? "He called.
"Ah yes-- I am here. Actually--actually I want--wanted to apologise to you." Stuttered Jungkook.
"Apologise ? For what ? "asked his husband bemused.
Jungkook gulped.
"Remember the night when--when I -- I called you a burden ? "
Taehyung's eyes widened.
Ofcourse he remembers the day crystal clear. He was really hurt.
"Yes." answered the younger softly.
I am really sorry for that word Taehyung. I really am. I was-was frustrated because of all the work and everything going on in the office. And you were just there when I was at the peak of frustration. So I took it out on you. I can't express how guilty I felt later Taehyung. But I never got the guts to apologise to you. "
"Please forgive me Taehyung. I know I was at the wrong--" rambled Jungkook.
"You know what you said was wrong right?" Asked Taehyung cutting him off. His voice expressed how hurt he was at that time.
"Yes."
"You don't feel like that right? "
"Definitely not. "
"I was hurt."
"I know Taehyung. I know. "
The pain in Taehyung's voice made him upset.
"Please don't say anything like that again?"
"Never . I promise. "
"But promises are meant to be broken." Countered Taehyung.
"But I would not. You will know it through the time. " Said Jungkook in a stern voice.
"Yes I will know it. "Said Taehyung trying his best to sound stern as he fought the smile on his face.
"I forgive you than Jeon Jungkook."
"Thankyou for forgiving me Jeon Taehyung."
Both pair chuckled at that.
"What are you doing ? "Questioned the black haired.
"Work." answered Jungkook.
Taehyung noticed Jungkook's tone.
"Tired ?"
"Yeah a lot. "
"Please don't overwork yourself. And take care."
Jungkook smiled.
"Yeah I will not overwork."
This is nice
Thought the elder. Just than he remembered something.
"Taehyung. "
"Yeah. "
"We are invited to a party tomorrow. But Namjoon and Yoongi hyung can't go because of work. So we have to go there."
Taehyung pouted.
He doesn't like these parties. But he knows he really doesn't have a choice here. It was probably Jin or Namjoon who told Jungkook.
"Sure. When ?"
"I'll pick you at 8 and than we can go together."
"Okay . I'll be ready."
"Than I'll see you tomorrow Taehyung." Said younger.
"I'll see you tomorrow too." Jungkook replied Taehyung.
With that the call ended and both had a beautiful smile on their face.
