Jimin wipped his tears with his hands and got up from the floor.
"It's been silent for a while,now."
"Why don't we check on hyung ?" He asked.
Taehyung sniffled and nodded. His eyes and nose red from all the crying.
"Yes."
Jungkook and Yoongi looked at each other and nodded.
It's already been an hour or two.
But who was it going to be ?
Yoongi gulped and stood up as well.
"I will check up on him. You guys stay here."
But even before he could take a step forward a voice stopped him.
"No,don't."
Namjoon walked their way and stopped right in front of them.
He took a deep breathe.
"It's better if he doesn't see any of us right now."
"That'll just make him more angry."
"But--but-"
"I am worried about him."Said Taehyung.
"I meant that we should not go inside." The elder cleared up and looked at Hoseok,who immediately nodded in understanding.
"Let him."
"He'll handle the situation better than any of us without escalating it."
"Jin hyung definitely doesn't want to see us."
Jungkook scoffed and walked near his hyung.
"And who has the most fault in all of this ?"
"Jungkook."Called Taehyung and tried to pull back his husband.
Namjoon jaw was set tight and his hands formed into the fists.
"Don't."
"Not right now."He warned.
But before the younger brother could say something.
Yoongi stepped up.
"Stop,you two."
"It's not the time to fight."
"Everyone's at a fault here and each of us knows it."
"So,seriously."
"Stop it."
"Hoseok check on hyung and tell us if he's alright, please."
"We'll leave now."
"Okay."Replied the butler.
"Let's go."Said Yoongi and pulled Jungkook away with him.
Taehyung and Jimin following them behind.
Namjoon sighed and gazed down.
His shoulder's slumped down.
"Take care of him,Hoseok-ah."
And with that he also walked away.
★★★★★★★
Hoseok knocked on the door.
"Jin hyung ?"
"Hyung ?"
He frowned when the elder didn't reply.
"I am entering the room,hyung."He said and finally opened the door.
And as soon as his eyes fell on the room. They opened up wide in shock.
The room was truly a mess.
It was like Jin poured all his anger and frustration on it.
The butler carefully walked in as he looked around cautiously.
The elder was sitting on the disorganised couch in all the mess.
Jin was looking at the floor while tears continued to flow down from his eyes.
Hoseok's eyes softened up.
He moved to him and squatted down in front of the elder to look at the other properly.
"Hyung ?"
"Are you okay ?"
But the other only sniffled.
"Please,hyung."
"Look at me."
"Please tell me how are you feeling."
"I am worried about you."
The Butler tried for a long time and Jin finally looked at him with a blank expression.
"I am fine."He said but his voice broke in between.
The younger shook his head.
"No, you're not."

"You are not,hyung."
"Don't ignore it."
"Don't hide and bury it all,like always."
"Please don't."
"You are not fine."
"And it's okay."
"It is okay,hyung."
"Hoseok-ah ?"
"Yes,hyung."
"Hoseok-ah ?"
"Yes ?"
"I am so tired."
"I am so tired,Hoseok-ah."
Jin broke down again as he leaned his head against the younger's shoulder.
The younger hugged him and pulled him in his arms.
"I am here,hyung."
"I am here."
★★★★★★★
"There's something going on in the Jeon family for sure."
"And I feel like it's been going on for so long."
"How did I not notice it ?"
"My son is married in their house."
"He is all alone there."
"I had my suspicions once in a while but I always let them go because I was not sure about it."
"I thought Taehyung would tell me if something was up. But he didn't."
"And now I am really sure."
"Something is surely up."
"I need you to find out what's happening there,Ari."
"Will you be able to do that ?"
"Ofcourse,sir."
"I care about master Taehyung,too."
"Thankyou,Ari."
"And I am sorry I don't have any lead from where you should start."
But the head maid just smiled.
"Don't worry,sir."
"I may have an idea from where to start."
"I'll leave for Jeon mansion in the afternoon."
"Sure."
★★★★★★★
"Here,have some water."Said Hoseok and passed Jin a glass.
The elder took it and drank the water all up.
"Do you feel a little better ?"Questioned the younger.
And the elder nodded.
"Hyung ?"
Jin hummed and looked at him.
"Why don't you take a break ?"
"A break ?" He chuckled bitterly.
"How ?"
Hoseok shook his head.
"I don't know what you think,hyung."
"But you are not bound to this place."
"You keep yourselves trapped here when there is no need for it."
"Go out."
"Have some fresh air and think."
"Think what ?"
"What you want from life,hyung."
"What you actually want ?"
"There's so much for you to still do."
"You can't keep yourself this restricted because of them."
"Don't let them affect you."
"Why are you giving them so much power over yourself ?"
"You don't need to do that."
"They don't deserve that."
"They don't deserve any of that."
"They are real idiots,hyung."
Jin smiled.
"Are you bad mouthing them for me,Hoseok ?"
"You work for them be careful."
"It's true I work for them."
"But I have more loyalty towards you than they could ever have."
"And I grew up with them."
"See that much I care about you."
"That's why I am saying."
"Take a break."
"Go out."
"Think it through."
Jin shook his head.
"Even if I wanted to go."
"Where would I go ?"
"Your parents,hyung."
"Go spend some time with them."
"It's been so long."
"You avoid them because you are scared that they'll know the truth and blame themselves."

"You don't want to see them devastated and upset."
"But hyung--"
"Ask yourself."
"Is avoiding them the right answer here ?"
"They are your parents and they will always worry about you."
"Being ignorant to the situation won't help you a bit."
"Please go and see them."
"Spend some time with your family."
"I am sure they miss you a lot."
"Don't worry about anything here."
"I'll handle it."
"You take as much as time you need."
"And when you feel like you are ready."
"Then address the situation here."
"Till then don't worry about anything else."
"Please go, hyung."
"Please."
"It will only do you good."
"Don't avoid them just because you are scared."
"Don't."
Jin took a deep breathe.
Hoseok's words made a lot of sense.
He indeed needs to get out of this place.
It was getting a lot more suffocating for him day by day.
And his parents.
His parents whom he had not seen in so long would be happy to see him.
"Should I, Hoseok-ah ?"
"Yes,hyung."
"You should."
The elder sighed and nodded.
"Fine. I will."
And the younger was also right about one thing.
He can't avoid it and live in ignorance for forever.
He needs to be brave and face it for once and all.
★★★★★★★
Taehyung bit his lips and leaned against the kitchen shelves.
"Do you think hyung is fine,now ?"He asked.
And Jimin shrugged.
"I don't know."
He was standing in front of the coffee machine, making some for himself.
They were alone in there with no staff around.
"I am worried about him."
"I am, too."
"But I think Hoseok hyung was definitely the right person to send to check on Jin hyung."
"No one knows Jin hyung like he does."
"They do have their special bond."
Taehyung hummed and nodded.
"Yes."
"You are right about that."
Just then Hoseok entered the kitchen.
Both of them straightened up.
"How's hyung ?"
They immediately asked.
The butler smiled.
"He could be better."
"Jimin."
"Yes."
"Jin hyung is calling you in his room."
"Why ?"
Hoseok sighed.
"He is going to his parents for sometime."
"So, I think he wants to talk you about something related to that."
"Oh,okay."
"Hyung is going to visit his parents after so long. I think it will do him some good." Said Taehyung.
And the butler nodded.
"Yes."
"Jin hyung was just avoiding the situation."
"I get it."
"It's a lot."
"It takes a lot to face the issue and talk about it."
"Talk about what hurt you the most."
"But avoiding and being ignorant can never be the answer."
"You just push away all your problems for other time."
"And that time never comes back."
"You chose to live with the conflict and don't try to solve it."
"It will never be the answer,Jimin."
"Don't avoid it, Taehyung."
With that Hoseok left them alone.
Jimin took a deep breathe.
"I'll go to Jin hyung."He said and walked out in a daze.
Taehyung sighed and shook his head.
"Hoseok hyung is really observant,huh ?"
★★★★★★★★
Jimin knocked on the door and waited for Jin to let him in.
"It's open."A voice said.
He opened the door and stepped in the room.
The room was still a mess even after Hoseok cleaned it up a bit.
Jin was making rounds from his closet to the open suitcase that was placed on the bed.
"Hyung ?"
"You called me ?" He muttered.
And the other finally looked at him.
The elder was disoriented.
"Yes."
"I am going to my parents." Replied Jin and continued to pack.
"But I don't know for how long. I might be back tomorrow or after a week, maybe longer, who knows."He shrugged.
"So, after me you are the one on whom all the responsibilities fall."
"The budget of the month, pay of the servants,to check up on groceries and all that."
"You know what I am talking about."
"So,will you be able to take care of it all, Jimin ?"
"It can be a lot to handle ?"
The younger one gulped.
He knows how much Jin hyung does in a day and it is not certainly easy.
He always wondered how the other handled it daily.
But it is the only way right now he could help Jin hyung.
So,he wasn't about to deny it.
"Yes, hyung."
"I can."
"Don't worry."
"I'll take care of everything here."
Jin stopped for a moment and looked at him.
"Are you sure,Jimin ?"He asked again.
It was not an easy job.
And Jin knows it better than anyone.
"Yes, hyung."
"I am sure."
"Please go and have a break without any worry."
The elder took a deep breathe and nodded, believing younger's words.
"Okay."
★★★★★★★★
"I get it."
"It's a lot."
"It takes a lot to face the issue and talk about it."
"Talk about what hurt you the most."
"But avoiding and being ignorant can never be the answer."
Taehyung remembered Hoseok's words from earlier and a deep sigh escaped his lips.
The elder was definitely right about it all.
But--
"Don't avoid it, Taehyung."
He took in a sharp breathe and pulled out his phone from the pocket.
"Hello ?"
"Alex ?"
"Let's meet and talk."
I don't want to avoid it any longer.
I want to move on.
★★★★★★★
Jimin was sitting on his bed, watching something on the tv to distract himself from everything that was going around in the Jeon mansion.
When he heard his phone ring.
He picked up the device from his side and he saw the contact name.
His eyes widened.
Mother.
He planned on ignoring the call but then Hoseok's words repeated in his mind.
"I get it."
"It's a lot."
"It takes a lot to face the issue and talk about it."
"Talk about what hurt you the most."
"But avoiding and being ignorant can never be the answer."
He doesn't want to be stuck in the past.
He does not want to hold back to past memories.
He wants to be himself without any worry.
And for that to happen.
He gazed at the phone again.
She was calling yet again.
"It will never be the answer,Jimin."
The younger gathered all his courage and answered the call.
"Hello ?"
"Yes,mother."
"Sure,let's meet."
"I'll visit you both, tomorrow."

8 213Song of the Depths
Book 1: Complete, in process of posting.Book 2: 50% complete, will schedule chapters when complete. Part of the Cycles of Imbalance universe. Will contain an alternative relationship dynamic (reverse harem, might be some MM and FF. No cheating, no NTR.) To the Creshe Empire, I’m just a number. I’ve spent the past five years in isolation and under study. With my home razed by a Syldrari attack, my mind damaged, and nothing but white walls and a viewing window around me, I dedicated myself to two things: training my body, and reading any book they allowed me to have. The Empire wants me to serve, to use the inhuman power the Incident stirred within me. Technically, they asked, but it wasn’t much of a choice. It never is. Serve, or… I refused to be a mindless slave. My life was taken from me once. Never again. With the Empire moving forward with their xenophobic plans, they needed someone capable of killing Syldrari—and I was just that. A tool they could use, a tool they thought they could manipulate. Needing me was their first mistake. They gave me leverage, I named my terms. Now, after five years, my life can begin.
8 218Long Shadow
No destiny, no choice, no hope. Our protagonist, a coward summoned to a world meant for heroes; a new world with new rules and old cruelties. Join him on his adventures as he must deal with menus, monsters, and mysteries in this litrpg fantasy. Thomas Goodwill was an average boy with an average life, all that changed when he woke up in a new reality. Now, out of his depth, damn near out of his mind, he must learn to survive in a game-like reality with no reloads, checkpoints, or save scumming. He does, however, have a drunk snake. Thank you for reading my first story, hopefully, the first of many to come. This will be my main story and is meant to help me practice and hone my skills as I slowly produce more complex ideas. It's a litrpg in which I want to only lightly focus on the mechanics as I don’t want to pad out the word count with math and number tables and while I want to add a few of my own twists here and there, overall I’m going to keep this story close to generic as possible so that I don't let my inexperience lead me into a corner. Thanks again to all willing to leave a review or some constructive criticism, without you I'd never improve. Unfortunately, Cover art is by me.
8 554Oh, I'm A God?
Just out of sight from our own, is a fantasy world where gods rule kingdoms and monsters lay outside its walls. Somehow, our normally shut-in protagonist Bell has been transported to this dangerous world, and with that the gift of energy of the archon god of space. Now Bell must learn to use his newfound power to try to make friends, defeat enemies, and navigate this corrupt world from destruction. Authors Note - This story uses a unique writing style called "Stream of consciousness" You get to read the inside of the protagonist's head and truly experience the world as he does.
8 156Towards the Light
Sameul was an ordinary guy. Until the day of his accident that robbed him of his legs. Join him as he travels through the world of Atreties, the virtual reality world of Monster Mayhem Online, as Abrum, who is of the unique race, Angaellis. Watch as he files his way though this new world and gathers forces together that consist of monsters, demons, animals, and humans, but to him, they all fall under the mysterious category known as female. (Notice: Since this is my first fiction, the beginning chapters are quite unskilled. It gets better as it goes along in my opinion, with the culmination of experience)
8 105Mesmerized // The Goonies
I sat on the beach pulling the blanket closer around my arms as the ocean breeze from the Goon Docks blew gently against my arms. I couldn't stop thinking about how I had never had a real relationship. My friends all had found someone I was the third wheel every where now. I started dreaming up my dream guy. Then he walked up. I never knew dreams came true.
