Yoongi fixed his tie as he gazed at himself in the mirror.
The golden wrist watch on his wrist shone brightly.
Yoongi looked at the time on his phone and sighed as he placed the device on the table again.
His soon to be husband seems to be running late.
He sat in one of the private room in a high toned french restaurant.
He and his soon to be husband are supposed to meet for the first time before they announce their engagement.
Yoongi ordered a champagne for him and patiently waited for Park Jimin.
Soon another figure walked in and the latter knew who he was.
Yoongi stood up to greet the other.
"Nice to meet you. I am Jeon Yoongi. "He said in a polite tone and bowed.
"Nice to meet you too. I am Park Jimin." He heard the reply in a dulcet voice. And the younger bowed like him.
Yoongi gazed up and met the eyes of others.
His eyes widened for a second but he quickly composed himself.
Park Jimin is a gorgeous. He looked like a Angel to him.
Yoongi found himself staring at him. But he soon realised his action and cleared his throat.
Jimin was uncomfortable. And he could see it.
"Please take a seat." he said and gestured towards the chair.
The younger nodded and sat down. Yoongi joined him.
"Let's order food first." said Yoongi after a while of silence.
Again the other nodded wordlessly.
Yoongi stopped himself from scowling.
The other is also getting forced to marry. He figured it out. Jimin's expression said it all.
Well it's not like he can do something. He's also in the same boat.
The dishes were ordered and served as both of them sat silently in their own world.
They understood everything. It was like they communicated silently with their eyes.
Soon it was all over. They were about to leave the suffocating atmosphere as Yoongi walked Jimin to his car.
Jimin turned around to face him when they stood beside the vehicle.
Yoongi put his hands in his inner coat pocket and pulled out a small jewellery box.
The elder passed it to Jimin who took it quietly.
Jimin opened the box and found beautiful pearl drop silver earrings.
"I am sorry." said Yoongi in a dejected tone. And the tears Jimin was holding all day long escaped his eyes.
Jimin placed the box in the car and took out a same looking box.
He stretched his hand forward for Yoongi to take it.
Yoongi following his action and grabbed it.
He opened it to find a very expensive looking golden writs watch.
The elder nodded and opened the backseat door of car for Jimin like a gentleman.

Jimin without a word sat down and the car drove off.
Yoongi stared at the way the car disappeared.
He again looked at the watch.
The present were exchanged in the content of their first encounter.
It's been years since Yoongi wore this watch. But today he felt like wearing it.
He doesn't know why ? But he wants too.
A call broke him from his daze and he shook his head a little.
Yoongi walked to the bedside table to take his phone to answer a business call.
••••••••••••••••••••••••••
( The night before )
"It's a Christmas party. You should have some fun with Taehyung there." said Dr. Yugyeom.
Jungkook leaned against his car as he stood in front of Kim's mansion.
"They are not the parties where you have fun. They are classy parties where you act mature and all posh. "He reminded.
And heard the counselor chuckled.
"It all depends on the way you look at it. Change that perspective of yours and I am sure you'll find yourself enjoying."
"Whatever." muttered Jungkook and ended the call after finishing the conversation.
Taehyung came out of the mansion looking as enchanting as ever.
Jungkook could stare at him forever.
The way other's dark locks flew with wind. The pink lips and red hued cheeks just added more to his beauty.
Jungkook don't know what took over him and he acted like that but he was not complaining. He loved seeing all flustered up.
As they say in the car and drove to the destination. Jungkook decided he's going to make the best of tonight.
••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Taehyung gaped at the enormous Christmas tree that stood between the partly hall.
The tree looked alluring.
The snow on it was obviously fake but it made the tree more graceful.
Though few days were still left for Christmas. Taehyung was excited to celebrate it with his dad and Jimin.
He felt his fingers being intervened with other and he turned to look at Jungkook in shock who acted nonchalant.
"Let's greet Mr. and Mrs. Hyun."said Jungkook and Taehyung nodded.
The elder tugged him towards the hosts.
"Ahh Jungkook--Taehyung. It's been a while since I saw you both. "Exclaimed Mr. Hyun when he saw the pair approach them.
"Good evening Mr. and Mrs. Hyun. How are you both? "
"We are fine. You both look as attractive as ever."
"Thankyou."
"Here." Mumbled Jungkook and gave them a bouquet of finest flowers.
"Thankyou. The flowers look lovely." Replied Mrs. Hyun as she took it with a smile.
"You both enjoy the night. We will see you both soon." Said the elder and Jungkook nodded with a smile.
Mr. Hyun held his wife's hand and walked away to greet other guests.
"They make a beautiful couple. "Mumbled Taehyung as he watched the elderly pair kiss and smile at each other.
"Yeah." the other agreed.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Taehyung smiled at everyone who came to talk to Jungkook.
It was all business talk and Taehyung was bored.
The atmosphere was great. He certainly didn't want to hear what goes on in the office.

Jungkook noticed this and excused themselves.
"Are you bored ?" Asked the elder when they were alone.
"Huh ?" Taehyung only looked at him confused and he chuckled.
"Come on let's get ourselves some drink." he said and pulled Taehyung towards the bar.
Jungkook ordered mocktails for them as
Taehyung stared at him.
Jungkook gave him a smile and passed his drink.
Jungkook leaned against the bar and pulled Taehyung towards him.
Hands moving to hold younger's waist. Taehyung stood in between his parted legs.
Taehyung flustered looked down.
But it didn't last long as Jungkook held his chin and moved his head up.
"How's your dad and Jimin hyung ?" Asked Jungkook.
Taehyung was still blushing from the close distance between them.
However he tried to ignore it.
"Yeah they are all fine." he replied timidly.
Jungkook nodded.
"Oh."
"And how did you use to celebrate Christmas ? "Asked elder curious.
And Taehyung eyes practically brightened as he told him about the way he celebrated Christmas with his parents.
Jungkook just smiled and listened to him ramble.
"Mom used to make her delicious chocolate cake. "
"Dad still gives our servants christmas presents. "
"Before our wedding I never celebrated it without mom and dad. I always used to came back for holidays even when I was studying in England."
"It was so fun."
Jungkook listened to him amused. He was caressing other's waist encouraging him to speak more.
The elder even asked a few questions to which Taehyung replied enthusiastically.
Jungkook learnt something new about him that Taehyung can talk for long if he likes the topic of conversation.
Jungkook liked the way his eyes sparkled as Taehyung continued to talk.
He smiled at his husband.
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Taehyung was looking everywhere except at Jungkook.
He soon realised his ramble and a red hue covered his cheeks.
He was embarrassed.
The younger was about to apologise. So he looked up to Jungkook only to find hin watching people dance.
Jungkook soon turned to him. And the younger's breath hitched.
Their lips were too close. Too damn closed.
Taehyung gulped and backed away a little.
Jungkook offered his hand to Taehyung.
"Would you like to dance with me ? "
The younger froze. He never danced with Jungkook after their wedding.
Heck he's not a good dancer. Taehyung remembers how he used to step on the toes of his dance partener.
Taehyung definitely doesn't want to do that to Jungkook. He will mortified if it happened.
But there was something different about Jungkook. The way he looked at him with so much intensity that made him feel weak in his knees.
Taehyung's expression made it too obvious for anyone to know how he felt.
Jungkook's eyes softened.
"Don't worry. Nothing will happen."
So with a slight nod he placed his hand in Jungkook's.
The elder grinned and tugged him towards the dance floor.
Some classical music played in the background as Jungkook guided them to a quiet corner of the dance floor.
Jungkook boldly pulled Taehyung and placed his one hand on the waist and the other was interlaced with his.
Taehyung shyly put his hand on Jungkook's shoulder and other was held by Jungkook.
Both moved to the music slowly.
Taehyung was continuosly looking down to avoid stepping on Jungkook toes.
And the elder chuckled.
"Don't look down. I will be okay even if you step on my toes. "
"When I learnt dance I used to practice it with my cousin who stepped on me like half of the time. So trust me it's okay. Yeah ? I can manage. "Assured Jungkook.
And Taehyung looked up at him with his wide curious eyes.
"Really ? "
"Yeah. She was really bad. Like really bad. She gave up on dancing soon after."
"And I was like if you were just going to give up than why the hell did I suffer through the pain ?" Said Jungkook in over exasperation.
And Taehyung giggled.
"No I am serious. All that effort and pain for nothing."
Jungkook felt the younger relax in his hold and he couldn't help but grin.
Taehyung was smiling widely. They moved freely with the music.
Both of them enjoying the time together.
Jungkook's idea of making Taehyung comfortable worked. And he was actually having fun.
Maybe Doctor Yugyeom was right. He just needs to see things from different perspective. Thought Jungkook with a smile.
But he's not going to admit it in front of him.
Taehyung heart beat was beating fastened as he and his husband stared at each other.
He will never forget this moment.
It was so special. And he will treasure this memory in his heart forever.
••••••••••••••••••••••••
After dinner Jungkook saw Taehyung yawn.
"Tired ? " He questioned.
"Yes." mumbled the younger tired as he blinked his eyes.
Jungkook chuckled at the adorable behaviour.
"Okay than wait for me outside. I'll join you after saying our byes to Mr. Hyun and Mrs. Hyun." Said Jungkook and the younger nodded.
The elder watched Taehyung walk away and turned to find the hosts.
With a smile on his face Taehyung moved to exit.
All the actions of his husband are leaving him flustered and bothered.
He finally feels like their is a hope for their marriage to be successful.
And he's not going to let this opportunity down.
Taehyung was in his thoughts that he didn't notice someone coming towards him.
Taehyung collided to other's chest as he immediately backed up from shock.
"I am sorry." He apologised and bowed.
"Taehyung ? " Was the word that escaped from other lips.
The latter's eyes widened at the familiar voice. And he quickly looked up.
"Alex ? "
Taehyung's heart dropped as he stared at the other in shock.
He didn't have any idea how to feel about that.

Memories of the Fall
This is a story about two sisters, Jun Arai and Jun Sana, and their friends, Juni, Ling and Shu who make their living as members of the Hunter Bureau, an organisation dedicated to dealing with the terrifying flora and fauna endemic to their home Great World. When they get dragged into a grand scheme to unpick the ancient secrets entombed within one its foremost forbidden zones in their world, the Yin Eclipse Mountains, they must all try to survive the dark machinations, eldritch undercurrents and the echoes of a terrible conflict trying to re-emerge into an unsuspecting cosmos that had rather hoped it was done with that kind of thing a few eras hence. So please come join Arai, Sana, Juni, Ling, Shu and the rest of my cast as they journey through strange lands, meet all kinds of unusual beings and unravel some of the power and glory of a land time tried very hard to forget. I promise terrifying mushrooms, angry snakes, confused gods, even more confused cultivators and much, much more! Update schedule: (02/6/2022) As chapters are done, sorry. Progress: Currently up to old chapter 13-15. Chapter 24(or 25)/13, Parts 1 & 2 will be the end of the rework. Part 2 has been temporarily delayed due to me getting a frozen shoulder in the middle of June, which has been very slow to properly clear up. It is getting better, though, but Shoulder/neck is the worst set of muscles to have issues with ;( You can currently pick up most story threads after the rewritten chapters, starting from chapter 13-14 (old) Genre-wise, this is a bit hard to pin down. It's technically a Xianxia (because cultivators!), but it also veers towards Xuanhuan and has more traditional High Fantasy elements and a bit of Gods and Monsters and All Myths Are (on some levels) Valid. It also has a fairly large, ensemble cast, so if multiple point's of view are not your thing I am sorry. It won't ever really be considered 'grimdark' by any real measure of that definition but it does go to some complicated and fairly places dark occasionally, which I will note in author pre-chapter notes when expedient!. About the Author I mainly write fiction for my own hobby, it makes a nice change from academic scribbling! I started writing this quite a number of years ago. It has grown somewhat organically out of a bunch of different interests in all kinds of Mythology, World Building, Drawing Maps, Archaeology, Anthropology, History and Epic Fantasy fiction into what it is today. So I hope you enjoy the story and thanks for reading! Other stuff The cover is made by the author, using photos taken by the author. There is a Discord Server- Please come and chat, but beware of spoilers.

Sylph Resurgence
Our protagonist Kai has his mother taken away from him at a young age, an act apparently committed by demons. Now, 7 years on, Kai embarks on a new adventure as he begins the new school year at the esteemed Zion Academy in the kingdom of Nirvania, where adventures await him in a world embroiled in tensions which is full of surprises and mysteries at the same time. A month has passed since Night Wing's incursion on the capital of Nirvania, Nirvana. However, that isn't the end of Nirvania's problems, with war against its warmongering neighbour, Miran looking ever more likely than before. To make matters worse, tensions have been stoked between the Sylph Kingdom and Nirvania by the Chaos Legion, the true enemies hiding in the darkness, opening the possibility to a war on 2 fronts. Kai may only be a 2nd Year student at Zion Academy, but the raging storms of this chaotic era spare no one, especially given his close ties to Adeline, the Sylph Princess. Can Kai circumvent the tides of chaos and live to see the end of what is likely to be a 3rd Holy War? Will Nirvania stand strong against its foes, or crumble and be washed away by the sands of time? 2 years had passed since the conclusion of the 3rd Holy War, which was achieved by the combined efforts of the Nirvanian Army, the 10 Saints and Kai's team, which have been affectionately known thereafter as the Rising 8; a group of rapidly rising youths revered as national heroes for their contributions in putting an end to the 3rd Holy War. Moreover, relations between all 4 Kingdoms on the Central Continent, namely Nirvania, Miran, Cameron and the Sylph Kingdom, have reached unprecedented heights, ushering an age of peace. However, danger lies ever closer, with the Chaos Legion staying low over the past 2 years, awaiting the perfect opportunity to rear its ugly head. Even though Kai had trained hard over the past 2 years to master both his demonic and Sylph ancestry, when the battle has evolved from between mortals to that of the seemingly immortal Chaos Generals, can Kai and his fellow Nirvanians rise above the odds with their allies and vanquish the chaos?
