It was the next day when Jin found himself standing in his closet staring at the number of branded clothes.
Some bought by him and others given to him as a gift.
You could find a piece of clothing of every famous brand. But his eyes lingered on the one that was almost hidden in the back.
He was contemplating on what should he do.
A lot of things in his mind as usual.
He thought about the pros and cons.
And still against his wishes cons won.
"Mother wants to see you in her room, Jin. Hurry up."Called Namjoon from the room and a big sigh escaped elder's lips.
Unwillingly he took the first suit he saw as his eyes held a dejected look.
"I can't do it."
★★★★★★★
"We are going out for dinner,tonight." Said Jungkook as he saw Taehyung get ready for the day.
The younger looked at him confused as he wore his silver bracelet.
Jungkook understood his confusion.
"All of us, I mean."
"Mother and Father are taking us out on dinner."
"Why though ? "Asked Taehyung as he used his favourite chanel perfume.
"I think to celebrate their anniversary with us." The elder shrugged.
And the younger nodded.
"Okay. I'll be ready."
But when he didn't hear any reply. He turned to look at him.
The elder was spaced out as he watched the sky covered with dark coloured clouds from the window.
"Jungkook ?" He called out loudly.
And he finally snapped out of his thoughts.
"What happened ? You look a little dazed." Asked Taehyung concerned.
"I don't know. I just feel like something is going to happen."
"And I'm not sure if it will be a good or a bad thing."
Taehyung looked at him concerned.
"Don't fret. I'm sure you are worrying for nothing. "
"Everything will be good. Okay ? "
Jungkook didn't believe it but still nodded.
"Okay. "
★★★★★★★★
Another yawn escaped Jimin's lips as he covered his mouth with hand.
Him and Yoongi were the first ones to arrive at dinning table for breakfast today.
"I'm so sleepy." He mumbled and Yoongi gave him a look.
"It was your fault. You were up till late at night."
Jimin turned to glare at him.
"No, it was your fault." He hissed.
"Me.Why ? "
"You woke me up at five am."
"Well I had to for your health. Don't blame me."
"And it was your fault. Who told you to watch the show premier at midnight."
"It was just the first episode hyung. And I was really excited for the series."
"You can't blame me, too."
"Technically I can because it was your decision to stay up at night."
Jimin glared at him one more time and than turned away.

"Don't talk to me."
"I wasn't I was just sitting here quietly. You started it. I had to defend myself." Retorted Yoongi and also turned away.
He heard a huff from the younger. And Yoongi had to hold himself from sighing and letting a smile escape his lips.
He could proudly say that there was some development between him and Jimin.
★★★★★★★★
Taehyung frowned when he saw everyone at the breakfast table except for Jin, who was always the first one to arrive.
His mother in law looked at Namjoon.
"How busy can he be to be late for breakfast,Namjoon."
"Doesn't he know that everyone's waiting for him."
"I'm sorry, mother. I'm sure some work held him back."
"He'll be here soon."
"Can you please check up on Jin, Hoseok ? "
"Yes, ofcourse." Bowed the Buttler and walked away from there.
But he stopped on his way when he saw Jin descending down the stairs and his eyes immediately grew wide and he froze.
Soon everyone's attention went to Hoseok who was looking at Jin.
Their eyes widened too and the younger ones at the table were startled.
★★★★★★★★
Jin walked down the stairs confidently. His head held up high.
He passed by Hoseok and stopped next to the table.
"I apologise for being late."He said and bowed, sitting down next to Namjoon without any expression on his face.
His husband stared at him in disbelief and he could sense the glare his mother in law was sending him.
But he ignored everyone and called for the Butler.
"Hoseok."
The other snapped out of his frozen state and walked to him.
"Yes, hyung."
"Start serving the dinner. I'm sure everyone's hungry."
"Sure."
Taehyung was still in shock as he stared at Jin.
But a nudge from Jungkook brought him back.
The younger wasn't able to believe it.
Jin wore something less than formal outside his own room and he even joined them at the breakfast table like this,in front of mother and father.
It's the first time Taehyung is seeing this.
Jin was always serious about the attires.
But now he sat there in front of him in a big oversized yellow hoodie and a simple pair of black pants.
And he is acting like that's nothing out of ordinary.
And to say Jimin was shocked was an understatement.
He has always heard the other say that he needs to wear appropriate formals but now seeing Jin like this for the first time. He was speechless.
On other hand Jungkook gave the elder a beautiful bright smile when their eyes met.
He was there for him. And he hoped the elder got the message.
Yoongi was a little startled but soon got a hold of himself and was silently supporting him by giving him a reassuring look.
Mrs. Jeon was fuming everytime he looked up. And Mr. Jeon really didn't seem interested in his choice of clothing.
Jungkook and Yoongi calmed down his nerves, even when he didn't show how nervous he was.

And Jin again felt a little thankful to them.
★★★★★★★
( Some time before )
Jin looked at himself all dressed up in the suit as he fixed his tie.
"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."
He heard Jimin's voice in his mind and sighed.
"The way I dress myself or the clothes I wear give me a little bit of happiness and I truly cherish it, Taehyung."
He watched his reflection in the mirror.
"Do I want the little bit of happiness ? Even if I get the looks." He asked himself.
"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."
"What should I do ? " There was an unsettling feeling.
"Only do what makes you feel happy and comfortable. Others will just have to learn to deal with it."
"But Namjoon,mo-"
"It's not your duty to make them happy. Yeah ? "
"Do what you want, dress yourself the way you want, style your hair the way you want."
"Just do what you want."
Jin missed his eomma a lot. He wished to feel the warmth of her love. It's been long since they met.
And if the same yellow hoodie that his mother gifted him can give him some comfort.
He is going to wear it for himself. And not care about anyone else.
Afterall he also yearns for a little bit of happiness too. And if he can get it like this.
Than he is ready.
★★★★★★★
After breakfast Mr. Jeon quickly excused himself because of an appointment with an invester.
Jin also stood up to go and check on all the preparation for the party tomorrow.
When his mother stopped him.
"What are you wearing ? "She asked with a piercing gaze.
And he only smiled.
"Clothes,mother."
At this Jungkook had to hold himself back from snickering.
And before his mother could say something else.
"Hyung is not wrong,mother. And it is not really important to dress up so early in the morning." The younger commented.
And Taehyung also nodded, supporting his hyung and husband.
Mrs. Jeon opened her mouth to say something but this time Yoongi interrupted her.
"Jin hyung one of the attendant was asking for you. He needs to ask you some questions about the decorations."
"You should go in the hall. He's waiting for you."
The elder gave him a nod and turned around leaving the tense atmosphere.
"Jeon Jungkook."
"Yes, mother." The younger replied.
"Meet me in my room in fifteen minutes."
"I'm sorry mother. But I can't. I have some urgent matters to tend to."
"But whenever I am free. I'll drop by your room. And now if you'll excuse me. I am getting late for the office. "
With that the younger bowed to her and left the room with Yoongi behind him.
★★★★★★★★
Jin left the kitchen after giving instructions to the chef when he felt someone grab his wrist.
He looked up surprise to see Namjoon.
"What ?" He asked already feeling annoyed and took his wrist away.
"What are you doing ?"Asked Namjoon calmly but Jin could see the anger his eyes.
"I am doing nothing. What are you talking about ? "
"You know what I am talking about ?"
"You were late in the morning, made all of us wait for you. And when you finally arrived you were wearing a hoodie."
"So what's wrong with a hoodie ? "
"And I'm late because your mother told me to do some work. She called me earlier remember. " He retorted.
Namjoon rolled his eyes.
"Whatever."
"Just stop whatever you're trying to do."
" Let this party get over in peace. "
Jin was ready to reply when Namjoon turned around and walked away.
A scoff of disbelief left from elder's lips as he watched Namjoon disappear in another room.
★★★★★★★
Jungkook didn't think he would enjoy the dinner. But he really was.
They were at a Japanese Teppanyaki restaurant and the chef was grilling food at their table.
Taehyung was amazed by all the tricks the chef did but his focus was not on the chef but on his husband.
The small adorable gasps of his husband made him smile.
The look of fascination in his eyes amused Jungkook to no level.
He was glad that mother and father were busy talking with Namjoon and sat at the other side.
Jin, Yoongi and Jimin were making small talks and we're busy with the food.
Him and Taehyung were alone on one side.
They were sitting on the wooden stools and sometimes Taehyung would subconsciously lean towards him and that action never failed to make his heart flutter.
He also saw that Jin hyung looked a little happy today. And Jungkook only wished for the elder to get his happiness soon.
He could also the see Yoongi's soft action towards Jimin whole throughout the night and that made him feel happy and proud of his hyung.
Yoongi is finally trying to solve all their differences.
He felt contented with the night.
And he was sure whatever he felt in the morning was nothing.
★★★★★★★★
Jungkook doesn't know what happened. He remembers Taehyung laughing and giggling last night.
Even when he saw Taehyung after waking up. He was all smiles.
He was really happy last night. He and Jungkook talked even after they were back from the restaurant.
They still talked when the clock on the wall struck twelve am.
How the conversations just continued between them. The silly jokes and the chuckles.
So he doesn't know what happened the next day that he found Taehyung crying in their room.
The younger was breathing harshly as tears escaped his eyes.
Jungkook took him in his arms and tried to console him.
Asked him what's wrong. But at that moment it looked really tough to calm Taehyung down.
He was sure that whatever has happened had scared the younger a lot.

Viceroy's Pride
This story could be about the Tellask Empire, ruler of a thousand suns and faced with imminent peril at the hands of the Orakh hordes. It could be about Paltai Amberell, the scion of a noble elven House, fallen upon hard times and seeking to find the key that will restore his family's name and save the Empire itself. It could be the story of his voidship, The Viceroy's Pride, powered by magic and crewed by a team of crack marines as they search for adventure and the solution to the Empire's myriad problems. Instead, this is the story of Daniel Thrush, human electrical engineer, befuddled researcher and survivor of the debacle that was first contact with a spacefaring civilization. Due to a combination of luck, magic, hard work, and more luck he is thrust into the center of events as Earth is shoved onto a much larger stage rife with semi-immortal elves and magical kingdoms that predate the Earthly invention of agriculture. Earth is outnumbered, and we have precisely one wizard. Dan. He's not very good at it, but he's going to have to learn in a hurry or watch everything he knows get torn apart by massive spacefaring empires straight from the pages of a fantasy novel. ---------- Some readers have noted that the MC tends to be weak willed and pushed around a bit. A significant portion of the story is his character growth into not being a pushover (i.e. him being passive is in the early chapters on purpose). I'm just including this caveat/warning to make sure that readers aren't surprised/upset and that they stick with it until he learns to stand up for himself. His arc begins to crystallize around chapters 25-27. If that's too long to wait, I get it, I'm just trying to do my due diligence and warn you that the character development is a bit of a slow burn. This is NOT a harem novel. Nothing against them, just not what it is. --------- Updates Monday, Wednesday, and Sunday Feel free to bother me on our discord- Discord!

Primal Adaptation
The story of a little soul that ends up tangled in the games and bets of entities that utilize beasts of any primordial planet as a game avatar to make the Perfect Primal. This tale is not only its story because it will also share its destiny with the entity that will help it in its journey, and together they will rise from their particular situations one way or another. Primal Adaptation is a history with some RPG elements in it, but the MC can't look at a status screen or skill page because it's a beast through and through. I have implemented an evolution system for all the creatures of this story, where they grow or mutate depending on what they consume. In this tale, you won't find a Deus ex machina to give the protagonist power-ups. Everything must be learned and comprehended before its use unless it's something it gets immediately, or the abilities get understood by instinct. In essence, it is survival and gambit for opportunities, be it from one MC or the other.

After All
This is not my story. My story was of a world I forged by my raw will, and of you, my children, forged of my dreams. That story has long since ended. Our world was not alone. Another deity came from beyond my sight, and despite our resistance rent our world asunder. In the end, all was lost and you were gone. That I survived your passing is a testament to the cruelty of existence; I cannot forgive existence for the monstrous crime of making me go on without you. This is the story of a new world, forged by the hands of fools. That it is made from the bones of that which I most hated will bring this place no absolution. In the fullness of time, I will seize the reins of this new narrative, and I shall end it. You are lost to me, my children. I will make a funeral pyre of all reality for you, and be with you in oblivion after all. --- DocSumac here. This is a story that has been rattling around in my head for years. It's not complete, but I'm not going to let it haunt me anymore. I'm uploading what is ready, and I'll add more as I can. --- Addendum May 20, 2020: I've added the Sex tag. Not because of actual smut, but becuase of what will probably devolve into an ongoing parade of dick jokes. No point denying my nature.
