Two days went flying but Taehyung found his thoughts drifting towards Jungkook every now and then. The boy wasn't even able to paint anything as his mind was occupied with many thoughts. Thinking back to why he behaved like everything was normal made the boy angry at himself.

Standing in front of the blank canvas with colours lying on the table, Taehyung just stared into nothingness as he again got reminded of his husband and their interaction before Jungkook left.

He looked at his phone only to ignore it and again look at the sky above him.

Jungkook was coming back home today. Taegguk was trying his best to act normal but Taehyung clearly saw the brightness of excitement and happiness in his eyes. He remembered how his son's face lit up last night at the dining table when he received a call from his father.

Everything was going normal. Taegguk was also happy and Taehyung was even more happier seeing his son getting the love and care he deserve from his father. He was happy....truly happy....for his son.

The blonde sighed defeatedly and sat back on the stool. Picking up the colour from the table, he uncapped it and took out a small amount of colour on the palette. With his mind still running in every direction, he picked up the brush and started stroking it lazily, not paying any attention to what he was doing.

They were given six months..... Six months for Jungkook to show his love to his son, six months to both of them to make a final decision but Taehyung knew that their decision was already final. Jungkook wanted a divorce from him, so did he.

They were living together only because court had forced them, only because Taegguk needed time to make a fair decision. Taehyung was sure that Jungkook can't affect him anymore but in last some weeks, he was so restless. He was feeling as if his soul was bleeding, as if a part of his heart had stopped working making him feel suffocated.

Jungkook's presence around him was making him unable to keep his determination. No matter how many times he tried, he couldn't stop himself from looking at his husband when the ravenette wasn't paying attention with blank eyes.....as if he was trying to make himself believe that the person he loved back then was very far from his reach now.

Dipping the brush in the colour again subconsciously, the blonde closed his eyes for a moment in tiredness. He wasn't able to sleep properly since last two days as his heart and mind were constantly in battle. His consciousness told him that what he was doing was wrong.

He shouldn't care if Jungkook had had his breakfast or not. He shouldn't care why the ravenette wasn't home at the time. He shouldn't let Jungkook's smile affect him. His mind told him that the path he was following, it will only lead to hurt....immense hurt.

Hurt that he won't be able to bear.

Hurt that will leave his heart in millions of pieces again.

He knew that he shouldn't think about his husband. He has no right to think about him. Both of them were going to get divorced soon. It had already been three months......and in next three months, they will be strangers again.

Jungkook may have texted him several times in last two days and he may have felt the butterflies in his stomach but he knew the reality. Those texts meant nothing and those butterflies were a danger sign.....

He should keep his guards up.

He need to not get attached to his husband.

He shouldn't let himself dream about a happy future because he knew he was going to get the same rejection again....

Because they were not meant to be together.

Holding the brush like a pro and giving strokes in an artistic manner, Taehyung felt pity at himself. He had heard so many stories in his childhood. Every princess was destined for a prince, why he didn't get any? Doesn't he deserve to be loved?

He had always dreamt of a magically beautiful life with his prince charming when he was young and when he got married to Jungkook, he saw his prince charming in his husband. He loved the ravenette with his everything without asking for anything in return.

He only wanted respect yet he never asked for it.

He let Jungkook behave however he wanted even if he had to fight with his own self respect everyday. He did everything he could do but love was not something meant for him.

He was born to live a life where no one would love him and its better for him to understand that as soon as possible. He shouldn't expect anything from Jungkook.

He shouldn't let his heart take Jungkook's name every time it beat.

He should keep his distance from a person who will be a mere stranger to him soon.

The blonde kept painting, not noticing if he was using the right colours or not, or if what he was painting was relevant or not...he was just letting his wrist move the way they wanted.

Was he really over Jungkook?

He knew the answer but didn't have had it in himself to accept that. He was scared. The blue eyed male wasn't ready to break down again because if he did....he won't be able to get himself together this time.

Maybe his prince charming will be waiting for him in heaven. As soon as that thought strike his mind, he tsked.

Will he be able to accept any other prince charming who isn't his husband?

His hands kept doing their work while his mind was occupied with so many things.

He was angry at himself. Angry at his weak heart, angry at his desperate soul, angry at every little thing that pushes him towards Jungkook... He didn't know how will he be able to control himself. He didn't know what future hold for him? He didn't know what will give peace to his mind.

His bleeding heart.

His crying, lifeless soul.

Suddenly, his hands stopped. He became still as his eyes widen in shock. The boy shook his head weakly and stepped back. He chuckled at his pathetic self as soon as he realised what he painted.

Jeon Jungkook!

The answer was within himself. He had always known that. He craved for him even when he hated his husband. He wanted Jungkook to be close to him even when he flew away from him. He admired his husband even when he loathed him.

Everything was so messed up. Tears formed in his beautiful blue eyes and he shook his head desperately.

This wasn't right.

It will end up nowhere other than him being hurt once again.

The blonde immediately walked ahead and removed the sheet from the canvas. Without looking at the painting, he rolled it and threw it somewhere before holding his head and falling onto his knees defeatedly....and he didn't realised when he started crying.

He was doomed, he knew it.

But he wasn't the old, weak Taehyung anymore. he can control himself, he can face anything. He can ignore Jungkook. He can act as if nothing affects him....that's what he told himself and stood up again wiping his tears harshly.

The boy walked away from there as he needed to calm himself before his son come back home from his school.

Around six in the evening, Taegguk was sitting in the living room and playing some videogame on his phone while Taehyung was reading some magazine. No matter how many times his heart urged Taehyung to look towards the door, he kept his will strong and kept his eyes glued to the magazine in his hands.

''Mumma?'' The blonde looked up when Taegguk called him. ''Hmm?'' The brunette looked at his mother for a moment before looking back at his phone.

''You talked to Jimin Uncle?'' The question caught him off guard.

''Yes....Why?''

''Nothing....he was just asking me if you are fine. I thought maybe you guys haven't talked.'' The brunette shrugged making the blonde nod. After the incident at Jin's house on Ara's birthday, Taehyung had apologised so many times to his best friend for talking so rudely and even when Jimin had said that there was nothing to apologise about, Taehyung still felt guilty.

Jimin had been with him when he was alone. His best friend care for him like a parent does for their kids and what Jimin was doing was also for the sake of Taehyung's happiness. Jimin knew that Taehyung may get hurt in the end but he couldn't control himself when he looked at a helpless Jungkook who was trying to defend himself.

''What else he said?'' He asked again.

''Nothing much.....he said he may be planning a surprise for all of us.''

''What surprise?'' Taegguk shrugged, his fingers tapping on the screen of his phone urgently. '' I don't know...I tried to ask but you know he is stubborn.'' The brunette chuckled at the end of the sentence making the blonde chuckle as well.

''You are right...'' the blonde said and chuckled again before looking back into his magazine.

Two minutes wouldn't have passed when the brunette locked his phone and threw it onto the couch before looking towards the door. He stood up and walked towards the door only to come back and sit down on his previous place and started tapping his foot on the floor impatiently.

Taehyung looked at his son when Taegguk picked up his phone again only to unlock it and then lock it again before throwing it onto the table in front of it. Taehyung couldn't help the smile that formed on his lips when he looked at his son looking towards the door with cute doe eyes and an adorable pout.

''What happened?'' He asked raising an eyebrow making Taegguk scratch the back of his head.

''He said he will be home by six.'' The boy replied sheepishly and Taehyung suddenly wanted to tease his son.

''He?'' Taegguk nodded but Taehyung kept his confused face.

''Who he?''

''Mom!!'' The boy whined stomping his feet cutely which made Taehyung laugh.

''You are such a whiny baby.'' He commented still laughing.

''Am not a baby, Mumma!!'' Taegguk defended himself, his pout getting deeper.

''And I am the Queen of beauty.....'' The blonde chuckled again.

''That's true though...'' The brunette immediately said shutting Taehyung. The blue eyed boy smiled sweetly and ruffled his son's hairs.

''Don't worry....he may be stuck in taffi-''

''GGUK!! AM HOME!!'' Before Taehyung could complete, Jungkook's voice resonated in whole house making the brunette immediately stand up. Taegguk turned to look at his father and even when he tried his best to not show his happiness, Jungkook saw that his son was waiting for him.

The ravenette walked over to his son and ruffled his hairs lovingly before looking at Taehyung who was sitting on the couch and acting to be immersed in reading some article while all of his senses were attending Jungkook.

''How are you, Gguk?'' he asked smiling at his son who gave a controlled smile in response.

''I am f-fine.'' He wasn't very comfortable with talking to his father so normally.

''I missed you so much!'' The ravenette said and hugged his son whose eyes widen yet again.

I missed you too, Dad....He wanted to say but couldn't. He felt like all of it was so strange....so new to him. He was happy being hugged by his father but he didn't know how he should react to this. Should he hug his father back? Or should he just kept standing there because in no way he was going to pull back by himself.

He had craved for this since so long.

The ravenette patted Taegguk's back before pulling back. The brunette still had blank expressions on his face making Jungkook chuckle.

''What happened, my big boy?''

''Huh?'' The brunette asked confused as he didn't listen what his father said. The boy was too busy getting over the feeling of being held by his father. Jungkook raised his eyebrow making the boy apologise immediately.

''I a-am sorry. I didn't listen. I didn't mean to o-offend you,....I w-was-''

''Gguk! Calm down son!'' The desperateness in his son's voice made the ravenette restless while Taegguk looked into his father's eyes to search for something....

Something like anger.

He didn't know why but he didn't want his father to be angry on him for not listening to him. After so many years, he was getting the love of his father, he didn't want his father to turn his back on him again due to his behavior.

''I am sorry.'' He apologised again with his head hung low as he tried to blink away the tears in his eyes. Taehyung looked at his son blankly because he clearly knew what his son was feeling.

''Don't be sorry, Gguk.....Its okay.....'' The soft tone of his father made the brunette look up with his doe eyes searching for assurance in his father's eyes. Jungkook smiled and nodded before looking at Taehyung who didn't even look at him.

The ravenette was confused. He didn't know why Taehyung was suddenly ignoring him. They were fine when he left then what happened? It made Jungkook frown a little but it vanished when he looked at his son.

''Guess what?''

''What?'' The brunette asked a little confusedly. Jungkook chuckled looking at his son's face and looked behind himself to see his driver carrying his stuff inside.

''Just a minute.'' He said making Taegguk nod and walked towards the driver. He took the bag from his hands and walked towards his son. The brunette looked at the black bag confusedly. The shape of the bag gave him some clue but he waited for his father to say something.

''Here.....This is for you.'' Jungkook extended the bag towards his son excitedly. The brunette looked at his father and then to the bag, his eyes shining brightly.

''What is this?'' The excitement in his voice was clearly audible to Taekook.

''A gift for you.'' The ravenette replied enthusiastically. Taegguk immediately took the bag making his father's eyes widen in surprise and he couldn't stop himself from chuckling looking at the cute behaviour of his son. The brunette placed the bag on the couch and unzipped it and his eyes widen in surprise when he saw what was inside.

Jungkook smiled looking at his son while Taehyung smiled secretly as he already knew what was inside. Jungkook had texted him from states to ask if his son will like 'it' or not.

The brunette took out the gift from the bag and looked at it, his fingers roaming on the edges of the beautiful guitar his father brought for him while his eyes followed his fingertips. His doe eyes sparkling with happiness and lips curled up into a dreamy smile made Jungkook sigh in contentment.

''You like it, Gguk?'' The ravenette asked a little excited. Taegguk looked at his father and nodded enthusiastically as he was at the loss of words.

It was his second gift from his father, he wasn't habitual of getting gifts from Jungkook making the boy feel his throat clogging up with overwhelming emotions as his beautiful doe eyes became teary on their own.

''Thank you !'' The boy finally thanked his father when he found his voice brining the brightest smile on his father's face. The ravenette nodded assuringly and his eyes went to look at his husband who was looking at their son with a beautiful smile and Jungkook fell for Kim Taehyung yet again.

For the thousandth time.

His heart became Taehyung's slave yet again...

''Won't you play your favourite tune, Gguk?'' Taehyung asked not aware of his husband's eyes on himself. The brunette nodded and sat down on the couch after removing the bag. Jungkook also took a seat and drunk the water maid brought for him.

Taegguk started playing some dreamily magical tune, his face morphed into seriousness as he focused on pulling the right strings.

Taehyung closed his eyes and lost himself in the sweet music, Jungkook took the chance to admire his beautiful husband.

His hand went to take out a small box from his pocket. Looking from the small black box to his husband, Jungkook caressed it lightly with the pad of his thumb, his eyes still glued to Taehyung.

He didn't know how he should give it to Taehyung. He was hesitant as it can offend the blonde but he took a deep breathe and looked at his son who was still playing Guitar and smiled.

Taekook clapped in appraisal as Taegguk stopped earning a beautiful bunny smile from the brunette. He looked at his mother who made an impressed face and then to his father who was looking at him proudly with his hands still not stopping as he continued to clap.

''That was amazing, Gguk......where did you learn that?'' He asked surprised and Taegguk turned red in shyness.

''One of my teacher used to play it back in Paris. He taught me this.'' He replied with a shy smile. Jungkook chuckled when Taegguk scratched the back of his head and patted his head lovingly.

''You are brilliant...'' He complimented and Taegguk whined even when he was dancing inside his mind.

''Thank you.''

''Your welcome... But I have something more for you.'' The ravenette said making Taehyung as well as Taegguk curious. The blonde looked at his husband, he was totally different person now...it was visible in his eyes and Taehyung was so happy that his son finally got a father's love.

''Something more?'' Taegguk asked surprised as he placed the guitar to the side. Jungkook nodded, his smile as bright as it could be.

''What is it?'' Taegguk asked turning towards his father completely. He was suddenly so excited.

''Go and get ready.....We are going out for dinner tonight.'' The ravenette stated making the brunette gasp in surprise.

''Really?''

''Yup.....Get ready fast.'' Jungkook said looking at his watch. The brunette couldn't contain his happiness and he jumped on his dad in excitement. It was first time that Taegguk was doing on a family dinner.

''Thank you dad....you are the best.'' Words were out without him realising it but Jungkook and Taehyung clearly noticed that. The ravenette sat in his place stunned hearing that from his son, his hands suddenly feeling too heavy for him to lift up and hug his son back.

Taegguk pulled back and ran to his room after picking up the guitar while Jungkook sat in his place still shocked, his eyes looking into a distance as Taegguk's words played on loop in his mind.

They say that when a person is deprived of love then he became the happiest if someone look at him with a smile alone. Something like that was happening with Taegguk. He didn't get his father's love since his childhood but now, when Jungkook showed a little efforts, Taegguk felt like the luckiest kid on this planet.

But Jungkook knew better. He knew he is anything but a best dad for his son. He never did anything that can earn him that title. The ravenette knew that he wasn't the father his son deserved but still, Taegguk's words made him feel like crying.
