“Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.”
Still clad in his soft satin pajamas, Taehyung walked out of his room with a small smile oh his face.
The conversation with Jungkook played in the back of his mind.
He slowly walked towards a room and saw the door was left open.
The familiar sight in front of him warmed his heart.
His dad sat on the bed as he leaned back on the head rest, glasses perched on his nose,legs stretched forward on the bed with an open book in his hand.
Taehyung silently entered the room and got on the bed.
Without a word he laid down and hugged his dad's waist.
The said elder man was startled at the sudden movement but when he saw his son, a chuckle escaped his lips.
"Goodmorning, lazybear. "
The younger cuddled him and grumbled out a small goodmorning.
Some minutes passed like this as Mr. Kim's hand moved around in the dark lock of the other.
Taehyung's eyes were about to close and give in the sleep.
"I got the invitation of your in-laws wedding anniversary party. "Said the elder.
Taehyung opened his eyes and looked up to see his dad.
"Oh."
"Yes, I received the invitation in the mail, yesterday. And Mr. Jeon also called to invite personally. "
"So that means they are coming back here." Said Taehyung with a sigh.
"Yeah , they are."
"That reminds me, is Jin hosting a Christmas party this year ? I didn't receive any invite or information regarding it. "
"I forgot about the Christmas party. I don't think he is though, but I'll ask Jungkook because if he is hosting the party, Jimin hyung and I need to go back."
"Sure,ask Jungkook."
Taehyung hummed and closed his eyes again.
"You can't go back to sleep, Tae. Get up and start your day."
The younger just whined quietly but sat up.
"I guess I should get ready, I have to go the mall, too. "He muttered.
Mr. Kim nodded and turned to the side to get his wallet from the bedside table.
"Here." He said and pulled out his black card.
"Take Jimin with you and buy some clothes and accessories for him and yourself."
Taehyung smiled and took the card.
"Thankyou,dad."
Mr. Kim smiled and kissed him on the forehead before the younger went out of the room.
★★★★★★★★★
"Where are we going ? "Asked Jimin as Taehyung adjusted his muffler for him.
"Christmas shopping also we can get our hairs and nails done."
"I didn't go to a salon for a while now. What do you think ? "
"Sure, I also haven't gone there for months. "Replied the elder.
★★★★★★★★★
"What do you think about this bracelet ?" Asked the younger as he showed it to Jimin.
"It's beautiful. "
"I know, and this will look more beautiful in Jin hyung's wrist. Don't you think ?"

Jimin nodded with a big smile.
"I was also thinking of getting it for Jin hyung. "
"Let's get this for Jin hyung and the pendant for you, than. I saw the way you looked at it. "
"Yeah , I really liked the pendant." Admitted the elder shyly.
★★★★★★★★★
"My hairs feels so soft and they are so shiny." Said Taehyung as they walked out of the salon.
Jimin nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, it felt so good to visit here after so long. My nails look so pretty, too. "
"Let's visit together again. "Said Jimin.
Taehyung was surprised and delighted that the elder wanted to go with him again.
They definitely made some progress. The younger couldn't help but smile at that.
★★★★★★★★★
After passing their shopping bags to the guard that went with them.
They finally walked towards the parking lot.
"It was fun."Said the younger as they stepped out and the cold shrill wind passed by them.
Jimin shivered a little and nodded.
They had to walk for a while to reach the car as it was parked at the far end because of the snow and the crowd.
"Hurry up, Taehyung. It's cold." Said Jimin as he walked fast.
The younger looked around and saw how the ground was covered with a thick blanket of snow.
The elder moved across the ground but stopped when he didn't see Taehyung with him, with furrowed eyebrows he was about to turn around and tell the younger to hurry up again. When he felt something hit him in the back.
Jimin gasped in shock and turned to see younger with a snowball in his hand.
Taehyung was biting his lips in order to not laugh aloud.
The elder stood there in shock with any expression on his face for a minute and the younger felt like he stepped out of his line.
Taehyung looked down with a pout and was ready to apologise when a snowball hit him on his head.
His eyes shot open.
"Hyung, my hair. I just got them done." Whined Taehyung as he tried to removed snow from his dark strands.
"You should have thought that before you hit me. "Scowled Jimin but there was a playful glint in his eyes.
Taehyung didn't say anything and throw the snowball in his hand at the elder.
Jimin blinked as it hit him again.
"Don't blame me later, you started it." Shrieked the elder and squatted down to make snowballs.
Taehyung laughed loudly but soon he opened his mouth in disbelief when he saw the amount of snowballs elder made in few minutes.
Jimin got up and aimed at him with a sly smile.
"Hyung." Said Taehyung horrified.
"No, please. I am sorry. "
The younger tried to run away as Jimin threw one snowball after another.
Both of them laughing and enjoying their time playing.
Taehyung also threw some at Jimin but they didn't reach the elder.
The younger quickly hid behind a car when he saw a particular giant snowball being thrown at him.

With his luck , he was successfull in hiding in time. But the large snowball hit the car and set out alarm.
Jimin stopped laughing when the loud alarm of car was heard all through the parking lot.
He wide eyed looked around for the owner of the car to appear.
And he spotted the owner who was coming towards them grumbling under his breath.
Oh no, we are in trouble thought Taehyung but an idea struck his mind as he quickly ran to Jimin and held his hand.
The elder looked at him confused.
"Run." Exclaimed the younger and pulled the elder towards their car.
Jimin could hear the car owner shout at them from behind but he didn't pay any attention to it and started running with Taehyung.
Laughing and Huffing for air they finally reached their car.
Jimin was holding his stomach as he laughed loudly and Taehyung leaned against the car, trying to breath.
"It was awesome." Said Jimin with a smile and twinkle in his eyes.
Taehyung grinned because it was the first time he saw this side of the elder. He saw something in elder's eyes for the first time.
But it didn't last long because a gust of wind passed by again making them shiver.
"Let's go back." Said Taehyung and cupped his cold cheeks.
Jimin smiled brightly and opened the door of car for him.
★★★★★★★★
"You are back,Sir Taehyung. "Said Maria as she greeted them.
"Yes . "
"Your clothes certainly doesn't look dry, Sir."
"Yeah , we had a snowball fight while getting back. "Said Taehyung and chuckled.
"You both should change your clothes before you guys catch the cold. I'll prepare hot chocolates for you and sir Jimin."
"Thankyou , we appreciate it. "
★★★★★★★★★
Jin 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.
The elder stared at his husband who stood in front of him.
"What do you want ? "He asked. The voice itself tired.
Namjoon cleared his throat looked him in the eyes.
"I am sorry for the way I reacted last night. It wasn't my intention to argue. I just wanted to know where you went. But if you don't want to tell me. I'll respect your choice. "
"So please forgive me. "Said Namjoon in a monotonous tone.
Jin sighed and was about to nod.
Don't forgive him.
But he didn't forgive him and accepted his apology.
"I am not forgiving you." He said calmly.
"What ?" Questioned the younger in disbelief.
"I am not forgiving you. I refuse to accept your apology."He repeated.
Namjoon expression showed how agitated he felt.
He took a deep breath.
"Fine, don't accept it. I can't do anything in it. "Said the younger and stormed out of the room in anger.
Jin closed his eyes and leaned back on the couch.
"Guess I'll stay in this room longer than I thought. "
★★★★★★★★★
Jimin took a deep breath and tried to push away all the bad thoughts that his mind tried to remind him.
Without any alcohol, the days have been more tough.
But everything was going fine. He enjoyed his afternoon with Taehyung.
They had a lot of fun.Than, after he returned to his room and saw a missed call from his mother and the feeling returned.
Tears stung his eyes as he tried to control his emotions.
To distract himself, he dug his nails in his wrist.
Just than Taehyung entered his room and his face showed how worried he was.
The younger ran upto him and hugged the elder.
"I am here. Everything is fine. "
"Breathe for me, hyung. Just focus on me."
Taehyung's eyes were filled with concern as he helped Jimin calm down.
"I am here. I am so proud of you, hyung. You did so good. You're so brave."
"Yes , breathe."
Jimin leaned back on the wall as Taehyung sat with him on the floor for sometime.
When the younger felt like the elder was okay. He got up and brought him a glass of water.
Taehyung noticed the marks on his wrist with some blood.
"Hyung. "He muttered softly.
But before Jimin could say something. Taehyung walked out of the room and came back with a first aid box.
He silently took elder's wrist in his hand and sat down in front of him.
Taehyung tied the bandages around his wrist and sighed.
"Try not to hurt yourself, hyung." He said.
Jimin nodded and raised his both arms in the air, asking for a hug.
"You did so good, today. We played in snow and I won. " Said younger and pulled back from the hug.
At this Jimin looked at him and pinched him on his arm.
"I won, you were trying to hide from me." He replied.
And Taehyung gasped a little over dramatically.
"I don't remember any such thing, hyung."
Jimin snorted and smacked the latter on his arm.
"Hey, I am speaking the truth. "Said the younger.
The elder stared at his face for a minute and than held his ear tightly.
"You're speaking the truth, huh. "
Taehyung shrieked in pain but still nodded.
"Yes."
Jimin held his ear with more face and the younger whined.
"Who won, Taehyung ? "
"Ah-you, hyung--you. Let me go. It hurts."
Jimin smiled at him as Taehyung rubbed his ear.
"You should have said the truth in first place. "The elder shrugged.
Taehyung stood up and backed away.
"What truth ? I mean we both know that I won hyung. "He said with a innocent smile and ran away when he saw Jimin getting up.
"Yah! Taehyung. Wait till I catch you."Said Jimin and started to chase him.
And only the sound of laughter was heard in the Kim mansion as Jimin tried to catch Taehyung.

Raccoon's Treasure
People waking up is a part of the usual normal life. An uncountable number of people waking up with fuzzy memories and selective amnesia, only to be greeted with a status screen congratulating them for being a participant of a game? The new normal. Uncertainty follows the realization as the world around them, while looking the same, melts together with memories of what was once called fantasy. New surroundings and blurred borders await as we follow a young man along his path of survival and growth. In this new world power is quantified and upgradeable, traits get objectified and give out boons, while feats, some bigger, some smaller get rewarded. So how hard could it be to procure enough food and water? Genre, tags and content warning are subject to change. They were selected preemptively to cover certain bases for future chapters. I do not have a script only a premise and general outline I will follow along as I write. As this is my first try at writing I'd be overjoyed to get any kind of feedback. Crossposted on QQ
8 147Once Human
Kidnapped, infused with an unknown substance and given an orientation on survival statistics and adaptive evolution from a disembodied voice isn't the best way to wake up after a night of drinking. Finding out your dangling in a metal box above, what appears to be, an alien planet that is to be your new home only makes things worse. With no answers, a plethora of mental health issues, that might just give him an edge if they don't get him killed first, and a strong aversion to being told what to do, a hapless human is deposited onto the Planet Evo with a single mission. Survive. Fiction will contain strong language, gore, sexual content and scenes/concepts that may be traumatising. Read at your own risk.
8 82Dark Matter
In the year 2023, scientists investigating the nature of dark matter caused a blackout throughout the entire world of Coranth. With this blackout came the appearance of supernatural and near-magical elemental abilities able to be wielded by all. By harnessing the dark matter in the environment, even ordinary humans now accessed powers that would have been deemed fantasy. These abilities include Wind, Fire, Lightning, Water, and Terra, being the five natural elements of which dark matter is absorbed by the planet itself. Additionally, the two moons orbiting Coranth offer the "Superior" elements of Dark and Light. The year is now 2041, and Dark Matter will follow the story of an adolescent boy named Raiden Sullivan in a dystopian future, 16 years old, eldest of 2, and son to Marcus Sullivan. Raiden is an intelligent young man belonging to a poor family with an absentee mother. He partakes in daily chores to cover living expenses after school and his home life is surrounded by his caring father and younger sister. In truth, this is my take on urban fantasy with slight LitRPG that keeps the "magic" elements somewhat scientific for a more realistic story. In using the dark matter surrounding our universe, humans can now harness elemental abilities as well as absorb dark matter from the beasts/monsters to further strengthen their abilities. For the most part, that'll be the main premise of the power system. Full transparency, this will be the first story I write and also the first story I publish, so please be patient with me. For some context, I'm an avid reader and after 4 or so years of only consuming, I feel that it might be time to try my hand at writing instead. Please feel free to add your opinions and criticism, it would be much appreciated. With that said, I hope you enjoy Dark Matter!
