Taehyung froze. He stared at the familiar figure. The one he couldn't forget. It seemed like they are meeting after many years. But in reality only three years have passed.

The blue eyes gazed at him like they did before. The eyes that once Taehyung adored.

No I am not ready for this.

Taehyung shook his head and tried to step back. They can't meet. They just can't. The guilt didn't let him.

"Tae-Taehyung." He called in the same silvery voice.

"No." muttered the latter. The look of panic was clear on his face.

But before he could do so. Taehyung felt an arm wrap around his waist.

Jungkook.

Taehyung's breath hitched.

Why ? Why now ?

"Shall we go ?" Asked Jungkook and the other turned to look at him.

Jungkook was on the phone. So he didn't see his expressions.

Taehyung sighed in relief. And he quickly composed himself. It's not the time to tell Jungkook yet.

Just as the latter composed a little. He heard a loud sound of clearing throat.

Taehyung's eyes met his again. And the look of shock was visible on his face.

His eyes on the arm that was wrapped around Taehyung's waist.

Jungkook also looked up at the sound and realised that they have a company.

He was on the phone to check some important texts.

"Oh I didn't realise we had a company. "Said Jungkook in a modulated tone with a smile.

The stranger met his eyes and smiled.

"No worries." He replied.

Jungkook tilted his head to the right a little.

The stranger was not from here. He was tall , handsome with the dyed blond hair, stubble short beard and the blue eyes.

"I am sorry. I didn't recognise you ?" Said the dark haired.

And the blond let out a chuckle.

"You didn't recognise me because it our first time meeting." He explained.

And Jungkook nodded.

"Where are you from ?"

"England. "The stranger answered.

"Great. I am Jeon Jungkook. The youngest of Jeon brother's. " He introduced himself and stretched his hand forward to shake.

"My name is Alexander David Jones. I am an investor and entrepreneur. Nice to meet you. I have heard about you a lot."" Said the other with a smile and shook his head.

"Oh I have heard about you too. I am really impressed by your company's turnover this year. I just read a article about it yesterday. "Muttered Jungkook dazzled.

"Thankyou so much. And what can I say about your company. The development is tremendous." Complimented Alexander and the dark haired nodded with a smile.

Jungkook turned to look at his husband who was interested in staring at the floor completely silent.

"Meet my husband Jeon Taehyung-" Started Jungkook and the latter immediately looked up meeting the blue orbs again.

At the word husband Taehyung could see the hurt expression of other. But Alex quickly concealed it before Jungkook could notice it.

And the guilt which Taehyung felt in his heart doubled.

"Actually I know who Taehyung is. We were in the same University in England. But I didn't know he got married. " Explained Alexander as he continued to gaze at the latter who again looked down.

"Oh really ?" Jungkook questioned Taehyung as he turned to gaze at him.

Taehyung nodded without a word.

"Well we have been married for two years now. And I never really saw any of his friend. So I am happy to meet you."

"Same here. I got to say you are really lucky to get such a beautiful and kind partner for life. "Muttered Alexander. His voice filled with certain emotions which Jungkook failed to notice but Taehyung did and his eyes teared up for a moment.

"I am." replied Jungkook softly as he looked at Taehyung and removed his arm from his husband's waist only intervene their fingers together.

Before anyone could say something else. Jungkook's phone rang.

"Excuse me for a second." He said and looked at Taehyung nodding. "I'll be back in a few minutes."

He watched his husband disappear with the phone in his hand.

"You didn't even invite us in your wedding, Taehyung." A voice broke the silence between them.

Taehyung stared at him.

"Guess we were nothing but strangers to you. "Taunted Alexander with a scoff.

The latter blinked his eyes to get rid of the tears.

"It-It was a small wedding and everything just happened suddenly. "He tried to explain and fidgeted.

"Quit making excuses, Taehyung. Do you have any idea how worried we all were. You just disappeared after a text. Emily and Jake cried after you left without telling us."

"You broke every contact. We were a family but I guess you didn't consider us that."

"It was so easy for you to leave. "He said in a bitter tone.

"How can you say that ? They all meant a lot to me." Said Taehyung offended.

"Oh really than why didn't say something. "Provoked Alexander.

"It is not easy. And I don't have to explain it you. " Said Taehyung through gritted teeth.

"I am back."

Before the other could say something else. Jungkook appeared again but this time the drak haired did notice some tension in air. So hr decided it was the best to walk away.

"I am sorry, Alexander--"

"Please call me ,Alex."

"Yeah , Alex. It's late now and I am really tired after a long day at work. So we have to call it a night."

"Maybe we can have the conversations some other time. I am sure my husband will like to catch up too."

"Sure. I understand. I was about to leave myself actually."

They shook their hands once again and the Alexander moved away from the couple.

"Let's go. "Said Jungkook and Taehyung nodded.

As they waited for their car to arrive. Jungkook watched Taehyung.

The younger looked troubled.

"You don't like him. Do you ?" He questioned.

"What ? " Asked Taehyung confused.

"Alexander . You don't like him." Clarified Elder.

"No." Taehyung shook his head. "He is really a close friend. He helped me many time during my stay there. I can never not like him."

Taehyung smiled as he remembered the old memories.

"Than why did you look so troubled earlier ? "

"It was kind of overwhelming to see him after a long time. "Replied Taehyung and Jungkook nodded in understanding.

Soon their car arrived and Jungkook took the driver's seat.

"You're not sleepy anymore right ?" Asked the dark haired and wore his seat belt.

The younger shook his head. The meeting with Alex left him not fatigued.

He didn't change. He was still the same.

Taehyung smiled softly. He was glad the latter was good.

"Taehyung ? "Jungkook called.

"Huh ? "

"I was asking that are you sleepy ? "Repeated the elder.

"No . Not anymore. "He muttered softly.

"Okay . So I want to take you somewhere. Should we go there ? "

Taehyung looked at him confused. But nodded after few seconds.

Jungkook gave him a smile and started driving.

Taehyung gazed outside the window.

A lot of thoughts in his mind. But that didn't stop him from being curious to where Jungkook was taking him.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

After the movie and dinner Jimin walked in his room.

It was colder than usual.

A beige coloured sweater covered his whole frame.

He didn't turn on lights. And just to moved sit near the window in the dark.

The night reminded him of a day. A day when all the change started.

( Six years ago )

"Fix your suit , Jimin and go wait in the car for us. "

"Your father and I will join you soon. "His mother said.

The latter immediately fixed the buttons of his tuxedo and walked to sit in the car.

As soon as the driver saw him. The passenger door opened up.

With a quick nod. Jimin took the seat.

It was happening. He was getting engaged tonight. They will announce everything to the media today.

His eyes felt dry from all the cry he had done the previous day.

He didn't see the his fiancé after their meet and he didn't want to.

Today he will meet his new family. The one he'll live with in few months.

I don't want it. Please don't this to me.

Jimin sat up straight when his parents got in the backseat.

The whole car ride consisted of the talk on how he should behave with everyone.

The saddened feeling was no longer after the drive. Jimin only felt rage. His anger was taking over now.

His parents annoying voices faded in the background and Jimin just clenched his fist tighter while gritting his teeth.

But he didn't loose his sense yet. It was no place to start any drama.

He waited till the car stopped.

Jimin could see the flash of reporters taking pictures.

He took few deep breaths and his face turned stoic cold.

Jimin got out of the car when the door for him opened.

His nails were digging in his skin. As he emotionlessly walked behind his parents.

On the entrances stood the whole Jeon family for their welcome.

His eyes met Yoongi's who immediately looked away.

Their again was the fiery emotion.

If only he would have denied the arrangement. Jimin wouldn't have to go through all this.

He has seen Mr. and Mrs. Jeon at the parties he attended with his parents.

He never talked to them. They are strangers to him.

Beside Mr. Jeon stood his eldest son , Kim Namjoon.

Jimin knows nothing about him except he is married to someone from outside their parents friend circle just for love.

And truth to be said Jimin envies Namjoon and his husband--what was his name ? Yes SeokJin. They got to experience their love and spend rest of their lives together.

But only if Jimin knew at that point.

Their parents met , talked and hugged. But he stood silent. Until his mother gestured him to bow.

He did with the best smile he could pull and greeted them.

He hid his feelings really well.

It was a celebration.

Celebration of Jimin finally giving up.

Just like he was instructed he stood beside Yoongi who was just like him silent.

But soon when they started getting attention of other guests of party.

Their act started.

Jimin held Yoongi's arm and smiled.

Yoongi started a conversation.

"What are your hobbies ? "Asked the elder.

Jimin looked at him confused.

"What? If we are going to spend rest of our lives together. We very well could get to know each other. "Spoke Yoongi.

And the fire in his heart returned.

"Are you kidding me right now ? "He hissed.

"You know you can save both of us from this business arrangement right ? "

"How ? " Questioned Yoongi quite taken aback by the tone of other.

"By saying no." Jimin scoffed.

Yoongi looked around here and there to make sure they were all alone. No one heard them.

By the tight grip on his arm the elder pulled him in an empty room and pinned him to the wall.

Yoongi's eyes blazed with anger.

"Don't ever talk to me in that tone again. There is no need to be rude. I am trying my best to make this work. We would have been in great trouble if someone would have heard us."

"And no. Just like you. I can't say no. "

"Why ? " Asked Jimin as he bit his lips with uncertainty.

"Because Jimin I have no power. You don't know my parents."

"Oh really your parents let your brother marry who he loves. So they can do the same with you."

Yoongi scowled.

"You can't understand it. "Said Yoongi.

"I can't say no because my parents needs this deal. They are forcing me. I did everything I could. But if only you tried like your brother did we would have not been in this situation." argued Jimin and pushed Yoongi back leaving the room.

But if only you tried like your brother did we would have not been in this situation-

Words repeated in Yoongi's mind. He didn't try ? He did his best to stop it.

Yoongi did his best in everything. But why can't no one see his efforts ? After trying everything and giving up. He even tried to get to know him and make this arrangement work.

Breathing heavily he picked up the glass vase and smashed it on the ground in anger.
