Numb.

Not able to perceive any emotion or feeling.

He was not supposed to react and respond.

Than why did he feel so constricted by all the overwhelming emotions that fought to come out.

Jin didn't want to react on them and give others the satisfaction that their behaviour and actions still have an effect him.

He wanted to feel numb,free from all the emotions.

His nails dug in the palm of his skin as he clenched his fist.

The familiar car stopped in front of the mansion.And he just wanted to get out of there, the atmosphere was suffocating him.

Jin didn't want to see the older couple.

And his breath hitched when the familiar person with their signature red platform heels stepped out of the vehicle.

The sharp eyes covered with the sunglasses and the coffee coloured hair styled in a perfect pony tail.

A black dress and the crimson coloured lips, everything alone screamed elegance.

The shinning watch, rings and earrings with the bracelet spoke for her, it successfully showed the power and money she have.

And his heart beat quickened. He was not being dramatic. He was just scared.

Scared to break more.

He doesn't know if he'll be able to handle it.

It might turn out to be his breaking point. And he himself doesn't know what will happen when he finally breaks.

It's scary to even think about.

Her lips curved upwards into a small smile as she turned look at them.

And he took a deep breath to calm down.

He closed his eyes to collect his thoughts.

His emotions needs to stay at bay.

It took him a few moments.

But the next time he opened his eyes. His gaze was tranquil.

He tried to prepare himself for what their visit may bring him eventually.

★★★★★★★★★

A person that held power and a strong aura around him also stepped down the car along with his wife.

He was tall but his face gave a clear indication of his age.

His expression was blank. His hands behind his back and the back straight.

The eyes still piercing than ever. He wore a black Armani suit,in other words he was dressed curtly.

The sons along with their husbands bowed to them at a perfect ninety degree angle.

The couple moved forward towards them as their mother smiled.

"It's been long, hasn't it."Jeon Jena commented and soon hugged her eldest son.

"I missed you,Namjoon."

The younger welcomed the hug with a small smile.

"I missed you too, mother." He replied in a calm tone.

And Yoongi had to hold back a scowl as a bitter feeling filled his chest.

The elder soon moved to her middle child and embraced him too.

"How are you, Yoongi ?" She questioned.

"I'm fine,mother." He replied shortly.

"That's good."

"But fix your posture. You are standing all hunched over."

He nodded and bit his lips to hold back a painful groan as he now stood properly.

The pain in his back and shoulders is really challenging him.

She smiled satisfied and walked to the youngest.

"Jungkook."

"Mother."

Just like the both brothers she also hugged him.

"You've been ignoring my calls for quite sometime now."

"No mother, it's not like that--"

"We will have this conversation later. Meet me in my study after lunch." She said with a smile.

Jungkook sighed inwardly and gave a small nod.

"Yes,mother."

And after some time , Jena moved to greet her son-in-laws.

"It's been a while, how are you Taehyung ? "

The younger smiled.

"I'm great and you ? "

"Oh I am doing great,too."

"I never really got a chance to spend sometime with you. But I hope we can do it in my this visit. "

"Ofcourse,mother. I'll like your company."

"Wonderful. And oh my--Jimin you look as beautiful as ever."

The said latter's lips curled up.

"You also look really pretty, mother."

"How are your parents doing ?"

"They are good and they can't wait to meet you at the party."

A chuckle escaped her cherry red lips.

"I can't wait to meet them either."

But as she turned to look at Jin. The smile disappeared from her face.

"How are you ? "Jena asked with any expression.

Jin fisted his hands yet again and forced himself to smile.

"I'm good."

And just like that she moved past him in the mansion.

He ignored the looks Jimin and Taehyung gave him.

And they are back. He thought sarcastically.

★★★★★★★★

The greeting with their father only consisted of few words.

The elder Jeon walked in the living room and the others followed him behind.

Mrs. Jeon was already walking in the mansion somewhere.

"I want to take rest. I'm tired after travelling. Is our room ready ?" He asked as he looked at Jin, who nodded.

"Your room and study both are prepared."

He gave a non chalant nod.

"Fine. Send a black coffee in our room. I'll be on my way."

"Yes, Father." Said Jin and bowed as he watched the elder saunter away.

★★★★★★★★

The lunch went quietly without any drama for which Jin was glad.

But it doesn't mean that his mother in law didn't make any comments.

He sighed as he remembered some.

"Why was there a need to start the construction of the gym when you knew a party was going to be held soon."

"I didn't like the way you have decorated the guest bed rooms."

"I also don't like the way you have renovated the kitchen and the balcony on the third floor."

The comments kept coming but by than they were used to it. So it didn't bother him or anyone else too much.

Jin was sure that even Namjoon didn't pay any attention to her as he was drowned in his own thoughts.

He would definitely call the lunch a success.

Now all he wanted to do was have some peace and moments to himself.

★★★★★★★★

Taehyung walked around in their room. He was a little worried because he heard mother call Jungkook in her study.

And it's been exactly one hour since Jungkook went to the her room.

He just hopes that Jungkook is not in any problem.

Mrs. Jeon has always been really strict with him and it really affects Jungkook. He can clearly see the that.

And at the same moment a tired looking Jungkook entered the room and the younger stopped in her track.

The elder moved to sit down on the corner of the bed and closed his eyes for a few seconds.

Taehyung was by his side in the next moment.

"Are you okay ? Why did mother call you in her study ? "He quickly questioned, not able to hold his curiosity.

Jungkook opened his eyes and a fond chuckle escaped his lips when he saw the concerned expression of other.

"Don't worry. I am fine. Mother just wanted to talk about why I haven't picked up any of her calls or replied to her messages."

"So--did she-scold-scold you ? "

The elder shook his head.

"No she just said that I should not repeat that again and than mother started a full rant."

Taehyung raised his one eyebrow in question.

"Rant ? "

Jungkook nodded.

"On what exactly ? "

"About her life and friends in Switzerland, nothing in particular."

"Oh."

"Yes."

"But are you sure you're okay? "

"I'm okay, Taehyung. Yeah ? Just exhausted."

The younger gave him a look that showed he didn't believe him.

The elder sighed and pulled him towards himself by his hand.

Taehyung was startled at the sudden action and didn't notice when Jungkook hugged him.

His hands rested on his waist and head on the abdomen.

The younger didn't pull away instead he began to thread his fingers in the dark locks of Jungkook.

The elder smiled and hugged him more close.

"Keep doing that." He said drowsily.

And the younger's lips also curled up into a smile.

"You can take a nap,you know." Taehyung whispered in the silence of the room.

Too lazy to answer Jungkook hummed in reply and the younger had to stifle a giggle.

After few minutes he guided his husband to lay down on the bed properly and covered him with a comforter.

He continued running his fingers through other hair for some more time.

"Have a good sleep, Jungkook. You deserve it." The younger whispered again when he heard the soft snores of other.

★★★★★★★★

Taehyung was on his way to the kitchen to give chefs instructions for the dinner. When he heard a voice call his name.

He turned around with a little smile.

"Yes,mother."

"Are you perhaps going to the kitchen ? "

He nodded.

"Great."

"Can you tell someone to send a cup of tea in my study ? "

"Definitely, mother."

He was ready to turn around and walk away when she called him again.

This time Taehyung looked at her confused.

"Yes ? "

"Looks like your hair has grown longer. And see they have even started curling at ends."

"You need a haircut, sweetheart. And for the mean time why don't you start straightening your hair early in the morning." She said.

The younger blinked a few times as he stared at her mother in law.

"Yes-yes, sure."He replied dumbfounded.

"Good."

And with that the elder women walked away.

Taehyung stood in the hallway for some seconds as he touched his locks on the head.

"But I was growing them out on purpose. And I wanted to get my hair permed. "

His shoulder slumped down as a small pout formed on his lips.

"Guess I'm getting a haircut." He mumbled to himself.

"Don't."

He looked up startled and saw Jimin walking towards him.

"Don't get a haircut if you don't want to."

"But hyung-mother-"

"Oh she'll learn to deal with it. And it's not like the way you style your hair is her priority."

"If you let her opinion get you and change yourself just to make her happy. You'll be dissatisfied with yourself. "

"You won't be happy."

"You'll think you are but no you're not."

"Why do you think I always wear or dress myself in contrast to what Jin hyung always say ?"

"Because that outfits or styles are not me. They don't make me feel happy."

"The way I dress myself or the clothes I wear give me a little bit of happiness and I truly cherish it, Taehyung."

"Yeah I get looks sometimes and am scolded for my outfits. But still the happiness is there. I don't let there opinion get to me. "

"And you should also not."

"Only do what makes you feel happy and comfortable. Others will just have to learn to deal with it."

"It's not your duty to make them happy. Yeah ? "

Taehyung nodded listening to him with all the attention.

"Do what you want, dress yourself the way you want, style your hair the way you want."

"Just do what you want."

The younger clear understood what the other said and agreed to it.

It really changed the way he thought.

Not only Taehyung's way of thinking changed but also of Jin, who heard everything that happened.

★★★★★★★★

( 7 years ago )

"And than I managed to become the leader of the project, hyung--" rambled Namjoon as Jin listened to him absent mindedly.

"You should have seen the face of my competitors."

The elder gave a non-chalant hum. And the younger finally noticed the lack of attention of other.

He furrowed his eyebrows confused.

"What happened hyung ? Why are you so busy with your thoughts ?" He questioned and shook Jin a little.

The elder jumped a little at the sudden contact and relaxed when he saw Namjoon's face.

"Nothing Joonie."He replied in a downcasted tone.

"Hyung-- " Said Namjoon and held his hand.

"What's the matter ? "The soft voice was there that always made Jin feel weak.

"I was wearing my yellow hoodie. You know the one that my eomma gifted me on my birthday."

"And mother told me to not wear it anymore because apparently it didn't seem elegant enough."

"Oh hyung. I'm sorry."

"It's my eomma's gift to me. We were not doing good financially at that time and she still bought it for me, just to see me smile."

"The hoodie means a lot to me."

"I know, hyung." He mumbled and caressed his hand with his thumb.

"Hyung."

"Yeah ? "

"You can wear the hoodie in our room whenever you want."

"Just don't go out while wearing it. Mother won't see it and she will not get upset. "

"But--"

He felt dejected when Namjoon said those words.

Jin really thought that maybe Namjoon could talk talk to her mother and change her opinion but no instead his husband told him to not wear it outside their room.

Jin doesn't want to lie.

It hurt him.
