Taehyung groaned and shuffled around in the soft and comfortable sheets.
But the sound from his phone, didn't let him continue his pleasant slumber.
With a sigh, he stretched his hand forward and picked up his phone from the night stand.
Eyes still closed and without checking the caller. He answered the call.
"Hello." His voice deeper than usual.
"Good morning, Taehyung." A voice greeted.
Immediately his eyes shot opened and he sat up on the bed.
He pulled his phone away from his ear to check the time and the caller.
It was seven in the morning.
"Jungkook ?"
"Yes." The other chuckled.
"Goodmorning . "
Taehyung blushed.
"Goodmorning, Jungkook." He said shyly.
"Did I wake you up ? If yes, I am sorry. You are usually up by this time. So I figured it was a good time."
"Yeah, I was asleep actually. Don't apologise though it was time for me to get up. It's just that after I went to my dad's, I became lazy. " Said Taehyung with a smile and laid down on the bed again.
He put the phone on speaker and placed it beside him, pulling the sheets above him again.
Jungkook hummed.
"So, are you ready for the office ? "
"I am getting ready." He replied and tied his tie , looking in the mirror. His phone also on the speaker and placed on the table right beside.
"Oh. You're running late, today. "
"Yes, I slept after midnight. "
"Why ?"
"I was completing a file and didn't notice the time." Said Jungkook after clearing his throat.
"Okay. But please take care of yourself and don't stress about work. "
"I won't." Replied Jungkook with a smile.
Taehyung closed his eyes and cuddled a pillow.
"Taehyung ?"
"Yes."
"When are you , you know coming back ?" Asked Jungkook.
Taehyung frowned and opened his eyes.
The thought of leaving his dad's home sent a small pang in his chest.
"I don't know." Replied the younger.
"I was thinking of staying here till my birthday. I missed my dad. So I want to spend some more days with him. "
"I hope it's fine with you."
"Yeah , it is. Take as much as time you need. I was just asking. " Said Jungkook and rubbed the back of his head.
Jungkook wore his rings and fixed his suit.
"Will you go to the office or do work from mansion ? "
"I'll stay at the mansion till afternoon and than after that I have to go to the office."
"Oh okay, but before you outside ,there is a long brown coat at the left corner of closet, wear it. It's warm."
"Okay." Jungkook chuckled and applied the cologne with the forest and wood scent.
"How are everyone else doing ? "Asked Taehyung
The elder tried to find the right words to answer the question.
"They could be better but don't fret. How's Jimin hyung doing ? Is he fine ? "
"Yeah , he's doing really well." Taehyung grinned, thinking about how the latter didn't drink any alcohol since he went there.
"That's good. Take care of yourself and him. I'll have to end the call now. It's time for me to go. "Said Jungkook as he wore his watch and turned to take phone in his hand.

"Oh, you too, Don't overwork. Bye. "
"Bye,Taehyung."
With that the call ended and the younger bit his lips to stop himself from smiling like crazy. He rolled around in the bed, not able to handle the happiness.
Jungkook is really making an effort for their relationship. It almost felt unreal.
But he is really glad that his husband is changing.
★★★★★★★★★
Jin sat on the couch of the guest bedroom with a book in his hand.
Don't forgive him.
The words from yesterday's night still in his mind.
He closed the book and took off his glasses, leaning back against the back rest.
So many thoughts in his mind.
Just than he heard a knock and sat up properly.
"Come in."
His eyes widened like last night.
Yoongi entered his room with a tray in his hand.
The tray had pancakes and a glass of orange juice.
Without meeting his eyes, Yoongi placed the food on the table in front of him.
"I thought you wouldn't like to eat at the dinning table. And I didn't send any servant because I know you don't want anyone to know that you're staying in another room. "He explained softly and walked out of the room.
Jin without blinking stared at the tray. And soon a small smile bloomed on his face at the other's act but he also remembered a bitter sweet memory.
7 years ago
Jin moved around in the big hall,looking at the decorations.
It's been a month since his marriage with Namjoon.
And you can say that his welcome in the mansion was definitely not good one. He's still trying to adjust.
And this is his first party that he's going to arrange. And Jin is really nervous about it.
The party is for his and Namjoon's wedding. They were not able to celebrate their wedding. So that's why a party is being hosted.
He's been up from early morning, looking after everything.
He didn't want to make any mistakes.
He went for a blue ,silver and white theme.
No one in the mansion has seen it yet. But he hopes they all like it.
Decorations was almost completely. He's ready for tomorrow's event.
Just as he decided the menu. His mother and father in law entered the hall with Namjoon walking behind them.
He smiled warmly and greeted them with a bow.
Mr. and Mrs. Jeon nodded in acknowledgement as their eyes roamed around the hall.
Namjoon didn't greet him and neither looked in his direction which made him frown.
It wasn't the usual behaviour of younger but Jin didn't think much of it.
The hall was actually really well decorated.
Jin stared at couple nervous as he waited for their reaction.
Mrs. Jeon eyes were sharp as she saw everything.
"Did you like it ?" He asked softly.
Jin really hoped he did a great job.
Mrs. Jeon with her perfect make up and clothes turned to him.
"I don't think the blue goes well with it. Remove it and just do a white and silver theme."
Jin stopped himself to gasp loudly.
Removing the blue means that he would have to change the almost half of the decorations and it will take a long time.
"But-but I think it looks quite nice" . He said hesitantly.
Mrs. Jeon glared at him. But before she could say something. Mr. Jeon interrupted her.

"I also don't think the blue goes well , remove it." Said the older man.
Jin looked at Namjoon for help and support. But the younger didn't spare him any glance.
Jin is not going to lie, the action of husband hurt him.
But seeing no choice. He nodded.
"I'll remove it. "
★★★★★★★★★★
Jin massaged his shoulders as he instructed the helpers to move and change everything.
He didn't see his husband after that and he's still upset about it.
They have a lot of changes to do in a very less time.
Everyone was hurrying to get everything done on time.
Jin was busy making calls and asking for the new party decorations.
"I need silver curtains in two hours."
"If you can't make delivers. I can send someone to get them. "
"Yeah. I'll send them. Thankyou."
Jin worked all day without a break to get it done.
★★★★★★★★★
Jin walked out of the hall to go the kitchen to check the preparations for the lunch.
All the family members are in the mansion, today. So they'll definitely have a lunch together.
Before Jin could ask about the lunch. The cook turned to him with the smile.
"The lunch is ready and Hoseok will set the table. You can go back to see the party arrangements. We will handle it here." Assured the other.
Jin smiled gratefully.
"Thankyou."
"No problem. But should we set your plate for lunch ? "
"No, I don't think I can eat right now. Their are many things to look after, maybe later."
"You didn't eat anything, today. Just eat the lunch." The cook tried again but the latter shook his head.
"No, not right now."
Just than Jungkook entered the kitchen to get himself a glass of water. He greeted the cook and got himself some water.
"I'll see you soon." Said Jin and moved to the hall again.
★★★★★★★★★
"What ? You promised to send them to us on time." Exclaimed Jin on the phone loudly.
"We have all the material like the boxes, the tiny box pillows , ribbons , watches and the brooches. We just have to pack them. I am sorry. We are afraid that we can't do it on time and it's a holiday , today. So we don't have our workers." Explained the person on the line.
Jin sighed.
"Deliver all the material. I'll pack them myself. "
"Okay ."
★★★★★★★★★★
Much to his relief, him and all the helpers were able to finish the decorations by the end of the day.
But the return gifts were still left to pack.
Jin felt hurt and sad when Namjoon didn't come to see him even once.
His entire body was aching. He was weak. But refused to give up.
For few hours, the helpers assisted him in packing but as soon as the clock struck twelve, Jin noticed how the tired all of them were.
"You all can go,now. I'll handle it from here. I'm sure you're tired. I won't keep you up. "
The helpers looked reluctant and Jin smiled.
"I'll do a few more and call it a day and we can do this tomorrow morning. Don't worry."
The helper were soon convinced as they left him all alone.
"Looks like it's just me. " He muttered.
But before he could pack more boxes. He heard a voice.
He turned to look at the source and frowned.
"Do you need anything , Jungkook ?" He asked sweetly.
The younger shook his head and showed him the tray that he hid behind his back.
Jungkook sat on the floor just like him, surrounded by small boxes, ribbons, watches and brooches.
The younger slid the tray near him.
"Eat."
Their on the plate were sandwiches and cookies.
"We didn't have any leftovers and the cooks were already gone. I only know how to make sandwiches." Explained the younger softly.
Jin nodded. He didn't want to make the situation uncomfortable for Jungkook. So he decided to be quiet and eat.
The elder smiled when he ate the first bite after the whole day.
Jungkook silently started packing the return gifts as Jin finished the food and joined him.
They again heard the noise and saw Yoongi making his way over to him.
The other also joined them and started packing without a word.
And Jin really felt grateful for that.
Both the brothers came to help him but his husband didn't.
Namjoon didn't even bother to check that why didn't he came to their room to sleep.
Jin was in disbelief and shock.
★★★★★★★★★
The man blinked his eyes and up lazily. He looked at his surrounding all confused.
He slept on the couch in the living room.
He remembers that they moved to living room to pack while sitting on the comfortable couch. But he doesn't remember when he fell asleep.
Jin saw Yoongi sitting on the couch in front of him with eyes closed as he leaned back.
Then he saw all the return gifts packed.
Oh he for sure knows that they were not done, when he fell asleep.
Their were a lot.
Did Yoongi and Jungkook work all night ? He thought.
As he felt someone's eyes on him, Yoongi opened his eyes.
"You're awake. "He said.
"The gifts are done and all the decorations, too. I hope you don't mind but I took care of the financial part of the celebration. I also have your budget diary. So I'll also take care of all the payments." Said Yoongi and got up , ready to leave.
But he stopped on his way and turned to look at Jin.
"By the way, Jungkook and I thought your previous decorations were pretty and this one is, too."
Jin gave him a warm smile.
"Thankyou ."
Yoongi nodded and finally walked to his room.
★★★★★★★★★
Jin really didn't expect Yoongi and Jungkook to take care of him.
But what they did last night and this morning warmed his heart a little.
He also remembered the past moment, the time when Namjoon started to change.
The memory is bitter because Namjoon was not there for him but the help of Jungkook and Yoongi made it a little sweet.
★★★★★★★★★★
The elder was in his thoughts when he heard another knock and he fixed his sitting posture.
"Come in."
Just as he said these words, Namjoon entered the room with his usual stoic expression.

Saga of the Storm Wizard
Rose Cooper had always been told she has a lot of potential as a wizard cadet. Too much, in fact; her weather magic frequently ran wild when her emotions got the better of her. That was why the mission to uncover a lost magical artifact in the Spratly Islands was perfect for her. They were no man's land, abandoned by both the demonic Grim Horde and the human Anti-Demonic League. All Rose would have to do to do was keep the weather under control. All of that talk of the Spratly Curse was just superstition and nonsense spread by bored sailors. If only. Evil wore many masks, as Rose was about to discover.
