Author's POV

It was late at night, the moon was shining brightly along with the uncountable stars in the night sky.

The gate to a place which seemed like a old house opened and a dozen of soldiers riding on horses came flooding in.

“I assume you have halt there. ” a man coming out of the house said.

“We have the official order to search your house, I'm sorry but you can't stop us. ” one of the soldier spoke.

“I'm not stopping you it's just that you'll have to wait until my husband and the owner of this house returns. ” the man said. “I think you all know that he's on a high position in the royal palace and this residence belongs to him. It would hurt my pride to let you all inside without his presence. It would be like insulting his position in this kingdom. ”

“I'm afraid we can't wait till then. If you quietly move aside then we'll promise we won't harm you but if you won't then I'm sorry but we have to fight with you. ” the soldier spoke.

The man scoffed, “Okay then, guess I'll have to keep you all engaged till he comes. ” he says whipping out a sword from his back and pointing towards them.

Jimin opened his eyes and stared at the white ceiling of his office.

“What a weird dream, similar to the one Taehyung told us about. ” he says straightening his posture on the swivel chair.

“Wait did he transferred his dreams to me? ” he mutters but quickly hits his head lightly at such a weird thought.

“You are in a desperate need of sleep Jimin” he mumbles rubbing his eyes.

A knock emerged on his door

“Come in. ” the door opened and Yoongi came inside.

A bright smile came on Jimin's face. “Good morning ” he greeted him. “I don't think it's a good morning after having to wake up at six for a meeting at eight. ” Yoongi said taking a seat. “But you seems like you are having a good morning. ”

“I wasn't to be honest but once I saw you, my morning automatically became good ” Jimin winked.

“Where do you even have the energy to flirt after such a boring meeting ” Yoongi asked. Jimin just shrugged as the answer, as much as he want to tell him that it wasn't just random flirting but the truth, he knows it's not the right time.

“The shopping's done for Namjoon hyung's wedding? ” he asks changing the subject.

At the mention of the wedding Yoongi's smile visibly dropped.

“Why? What happened, aren't you excited for it? ” Jimin asked.

“I would've been if he was marrying someone he likes or at least someone whom he hadn't met for the first time at the engagement. ” Yoongi says.

“Isn't that how it works with famous businessmen ” the blonde says. “Marrying for money and fame and not for love. ”

There was a silence between them before Yoongi spoke “Had your lunch?” to which Jimin shook his head. “How about we have it together? ” Yoongi offered. Jimin caught him fiddling with his hands, he knew how shy and introvert he is when it comes to these matters and maybe that's the reason he's slow in understanding Jimin's feelings. But the blonde male don't have any problems with it in fact he likes this shy and quiet side of the ravenette.

“Sure ” he answers with a smile.

“All the arrangements are made? ”

“Yes sir everything is done, the invitation cards and tickets have been sent to all the guests. All the bookings have been finalized, is there anything else we can do? ” the voice from the other side of the phone asked.

“Nothing for now, thank you so much for your hard work, I really appreciate it. ” Namjoon thanked his secretary.

The call hung up. Namjoon sighed looking at the night sky visible through his office glass walls.

“Guess I'll have to do it then, no other option left. ” he mutters, opening one of the cabinet in his desk and taking out a polaroid. That polaroid is very special to him, he carries it everywhere with. It was a photo taken on the day when he graduated from SNU, the university he attended, it's was taken five years ago. It was also the last photo of him taken with his friends. He never knew that it was the last time they all will be together.

Though he misses his friends, there is someone he misses even more.

“I wish I was brave enough to tell you my feelings, Jin hyung. I wish I wasn't such a coward who couldn't even tell his father that he loves someone else.” he mutters, tears flowing through his cheeks.

“Guess I'll have to pay the price for my cowardness. ” he puts the polaroid back and stares at the sky.

The night sky has always comforted him no matter what the occasion was. Be it his mother's funeral, be it the quarrel between his brother and father, be it the time his younger brother left the house with anger in his eyes and without speaking a word to him. The night sky had always felt like a warm embrace to him but not today. Today it feels like even the the moon and the sparkling stars are also scolding him for being a coward.

He remembers the day when he and his brother fought for the first time.

The day everything between him and Taehyung went downhill.

“Y'know how much I admired you, thought you were the best person in the whole universe but now I realised how much of a coward you are who will always follow his father even if you know that he's wrong ”

These were the exact words of him. Each and every word stabbed him in the chest because he knows that it's the truth.

After that he was at Jin's dorm alone with Jin while his other two friends were out buying some snacks and drinks for them.

7 years ago

Namjoon was sitting on the terrace of Jin's house, looking at the sky and asking for its warmth and comfort. It was almost midnight but he didn't cared.

“Something big must've happened for you to stare at the night sky like this ” Jin's voice spoke from behind.

He handed him the hot chocolate he made and sat down beside him.

“What happened? Tell me, you know I'm always there for you ” he says holding Namjoon's hand.

“Taehyung...he hates me now ” Namjoon replied, tears started rushing down.

“I'm sure he doesn't, I'm sure he's just angry and would cool down after sometime. Just give him some time. ”

“I messed up hyung. I really did! I don't know what to do, I feel so lost right now! ” he closed his eyes tightly.

“Do you think stressing about it quietly without letting it out would help you? ” Jin asked. “I know being an older sibling is hard. I know the situation that is going on with you is tough but you can't just make everyone happy. There are some people bound to get upset with you and that's alright. After all you're also a human who makes mistakes and has flaws. ”

“Do you think you'll be able to keep anyone happy if you, yourself are suffering inside. First make sure you are not suffering then think about others. ” he said.

He then embraced the younger and rubbed his back. “Let it all out Namjoon-ah, you'll feel better and light. ” he said. That night he fell for the older even harder.

Present time

“I hope you were still here with me to hug and ask me to let it all out ” Namjoon says glancing at the polaroid again.
