Refuse to entertain your old pain. The energy it takes to hang onto the past is holding you back from a new life. What is it you would let go of today ?"

Jin closed the suitcase and stood up from the bed.

He looked around in the room and a sigh escaped his lips.

He spent a lot of time in this room having many--

sweet and bitter moments.

He felt his throat close up as the overwhelming feelings started to surround him yet again.

He never thought it all will turn suffocating for him.

And yet here he was--

wanting to escape because he can't just breathe anymore.

He took a deep breathe and closed his eyes for a moment to gather the strength for what he was about to do.

It was not easy for him and he hated it.

After everything that happened why isn't it easy ?

Why ?

It was supposed to be easy,now.

He heard a knock on his door and he opened his eyes filled with tears of frustration.

Soon Hoseok entered the room and gave him a comforting smile.

"The car is ready."

"Let's go."

Jin nodded without any expression on his face.

The butler walked past him and took the hold of suitcase.

"Take this time and think everything through,hyung."

"What do you want exactly ?"

"That should be your main concern."

★★★★★★★★

Taehyung sighed and leaned back on the wall as he watched Jin's car being driven away from the window of the main hall.

"Please get well soon,hyung."

"I know it's too late to say but I did care about you and I still do."

"I am sorry I never did something."

"I am so sorry."

He turned to stare at the ground as many thoughts filled his mind.

"Taehyung,sir."

A voice called his name and his head snapped up.

The maid was standing infront of him.

"There's someone for you at the door."

He tilted his head to the side confused.

"Who ?"

"Someone from your father's house."

"My Dad's ?"

"Yes."

"Okay."

"Thankyou for telling me."

"You can leave."

The maid nodded and bowed to him,leaving the bloke all alone.

"Who is it ?" Taehyung wondered outloud as he made his way to the entrance of the mansion.

★★★★★★★★

Jimin walked through the hallway mindlessly and soon his eyes fell on the open door of an now empty and clean room.

He felt a sudden pang in his chest as he looked at the scene.

The room never felt that empty before.

He spent five years living in the same house with him and they never ever got close.

He blames himself for it.

His stuck up attitude that always pushed anyone from Jeon household far away from him.

It was quite naive of him to envy Jin in the beginning because he thought their relationship has atleast loved involved.

But in the end it just hurt him more only because love was involved.

"I am sorry,hyung."

"I am really sorry."

And with heavy steps and heart he finally walked away.

★★★★★★★★

"Ari ?"

"What are you doing here ?"

"It's so good to see after long."Said Taehyung as he walked towards her and pulled her in for a small hug.

The head maid just smiled and returned the embrace.

"Mr. Kim recently went to Busan for a business trip and bought some stuff for you that he thought you might like."

"I'm just dropping them off."She replied after they pulled back and showed him the shopping bags she was holding.

"Oh really ?"

Taehyung's lips curled up.

But Ari frowned when she noticed how tired the bloke looked even his eyes were puffy.

"How are you doing these days ?"Asked the maid.

"Not bad."He shrugged in a non-chalant manner.

"Let's just go inside and talk, yeah ?"

And she nodded but was definitely not convinced with the answer.

★★★★★★★★★

"What is going to happen now, hyung ?" Questioned Jungkook.

Yoongi was sitting in front of him. Both of them in elder's home office.

"I don't know."

"I didn't know before."

"And I don't know now,too."

"It's all upto Jin hyung."

"It is pretty clear that both of them have reached their limits."

"Considering the way they were. It was just matter of time."

"I don't even know how they lasted so long."Muttered the younger.

And the elder sighed.

"It's because of the history they have,their relationship goes to way back."

"No one except them can understand what they had."

"You know even if people sometimes say that they have given up."

"There's a tiny hope that still dwindle in their hearts."

"They never acknowledge it,though. Never accept the bitter truth that they still hope somewhere deep within."

Jungkook took a deep breathe as he thought over his brother's word.

"I am worried."

"Ofcourse, everyone's worried-"

"Because nothing is certain now. But us thinking about it won't change anything."

"So, don't think about it too much."

"What we can do right now is just have some patience and wait."

★★★★★★★★

"Did you have lunch ?"

Taehyung frowned and tilted his head to the side as he tried to remember the last time he ate something.

Then he shook his head with a slight pout.

"I didn't."

"Should I make something for you master Taehyung ?"

The bloke chuckled and shook his head.

"Don't fret,Ari."

"I'll eat something later."

"We have chefs here, okay ?"

"But the head maid shook her head."

"No,let me cook something for you."

"Ari,there's no need--"

"Please."

He sighed and nodded,giving in. Taehyung clearly knows how stubborn Ari can be if she wants,too.

"Okay."

He got up from the couch and the maid followed.

"Let me show you the kitchen,then."

"Yes, master Taehyung."

★★★★★★★★

Ari immediately frowned when she entered the kitchen.

And Taehyung looked at her confused.

"What happened ?"

"Where is the kitchen staff ? Atleast one attendant should be here at all times."She asked.

"What if you and anyone else needs their assistance ?"

He chuckled.

"Well it's late in the afternoon. So,they are on their break."

"They generally get one after lunch."

"Oh,okay."

"But the head maid should still designate someone for this time period. They may have a break early or later in the day."

"We don't have a head maid."

"We have a head butler."

"Oh."

"Don't worry about all of this, Ari."

"It's fine with us because no one needs anything from the kitchen at this time of the day anyway."

"If you say that master Taehyung."She muttered and walked in further in kitchen.

"Why don't you wait outside while I cook ?"

The guy nodded.

"Okay."

"But do you need any help ? I can send someone."

"No, I'll be fine. I think."She replied and opened the refrigerator,already thinking of what to cook.

"If you say so,Ari."Said Taehyung, repeating her words from before.

★★★★★★★

"Oh Taehyung, you're here ?"

"You didn't come for lunch."Said Hoseok as he saw the younger sitting on the dinning table,scrolling through his phone mindlessly.

"Yeah,I didn't realise the time."He said sheepishly.

And the elder chuckled.

"It's okay."

"I saved some for you."

"Hyung,you didn't need to--"

"What do you mean I don't need to? I'm sure you are hungry." He said and walked forward picking up a casserole from the table.

He lifted up the lid and placed it back on table and started settings a plate for him.

Just then Ari entered the scene with a steaming bowl.

She also placed it on the table.

"Here."

"I made soft tofu stew for you."

Hoseok looked at her questioningly.

"Who ?"

"She's from my dad's home, hyung and is here to drop some stuff for me."

"Okay."

"Ari meet Hoseok hyung and hyung meet Ari."

But the head maid's eyes fell on the casserole.

"Were you just trying to serve him white sauce pasta ?"

"Yeah ?"

"Don't you know that he doesn't like it ?"

"You should know it. He's been living here for two years."

Hoseok scoffed, a little offended.

"Excuse me but he always ate the pasta everytime it was cooked before."

"I don't know what you are talking about."

The head maid was about to retort back but Taehyung interrupted.

"It's okay,Ari."

"I actually eat it,now."

"I like the way the chef here makes it."

"Oh,really ?"

"When will he return from the break,then ?"

"I surely want their recipe for it. So,that I can also make it for you."She said with a smile.

And Hoseok rolled his eyes.

"He will not be here till dinner."

"So,better luck next time."

The head maid gave him a glare.

"I'll take it one way or another."She muttered under her breath.

And pushed the plate away to place the bowl of stew in front of the younger.

But the butler didn't back off and served Taehyung pasta.

"Can you move it aside ? He will eat my stew."

"No."

"What if he wants to eat the pasta ? How can you decide for him."

"I am not deciding for him. I am just simply---"

"Yes,you are not."

"So,let him."

The younger just gulped as both of them looked at him expectantly. He didn't want to choose and honestly he was okay with both the dishes.

"I'll eat both of them,yeah ?"

"I'll just eat both."

★★★★★★★★

As soon as Taehyung tasted the stew. Ari turned to stare at him expectantly.

"How is it ?"

The younger looked at her and smiled.

"Just like I remembere--"

"Absolutely perfect."

The maid just nodded with a bright grin.

"Oh."

"And before I forget, where is your room,master Taehyung ? I should put the things I brought in your room."

But before the latter could reply.

Hoseok answered.

"No need for you to do that."

"I'll take it."

But Ari just shook her head.

"No."

"I'll do it myself."

"I'm sure you'll just break everything and it's expensive."

"I don't trust you."

"What ?"

"I am literally the head butler of this house."

"I can guarantee you that I'm perfectly capable of taking a bag to one place to another without damaging anything in it."

"Oh,so you are the head butler that is bad at appointing his staff."She said to herself but the other heard her loud and clear.

"Excuse me."

"What did you say just now ?"

"How dare you question the way I make my employees work."

"I wasn't questioning it."

"Just commenting on it,you see."

"Hey,you---"

"Stop."Said Taehyung and stood up.

"Ari,my room is on the second floor."

"Just walk straight,turn right and you'll see two rooms-last one is mine,yeah ?"

The head maid glared at Hoseok for a moment,who gladly glared back with same intensity and turned to younger.

"Okay,master Taehyung."

"Now,if you'll excuse me."She said and bowed, walking away with the bag in her hands.

★★★★★★★★

Ari hurriedly walked through the hallways and found the room she was looking for quite easily.

She quickly pushed open the door and first of all placed the bag on the coffee table neatly.

She then turned to look around in the room with determination.

"Where is that diary ?"She mumbled with her hands set on waist.

The maid walked to the study table and shuffled through the books settled there.

She searched the cabinets for it but sighed when found nothing.

Just as Ari was about to give up. Her gaze fell on the bedside table cabinet.

Curiously she moved towards it and squatted down in front of the cabinet.

She didn't dare to open the drawers though because the diary was lodged up between the space of the bedside table cabinet and bed.

Ari smiled.

"I found it."

But that quickly fell off.

"I am sorry,master Taehyung for what I did or am doing."

"We-- we ?"

"We are just concerned about you and I know that just doesn't explain it all."

"It definitely doesn't."

"But we know that you will never tell us any of it."

"So,we have no way."

"I am so sorry."

"I hope someday you find it in yourself to forgive us."

After saying that she quickly got up and hid the diary in her purse and hurried out of door.

But she stopped when she saw Hoseok in front of her.

"What are you doing here ?"The maid asked,voice a little more high pitched than normal.

Taehyung sent me to check on you because you took a long time.

"Did you seriously get lost ?"

"The room isn't even that tough to find ?"

But Ari just looked away and scoffed.

"Shut--shut up."
