Namjoon is sitting on the couch still trying to calm down.

Jungkook is in the kitchen finishing the tea for his friend.

Camomile

Once the tea bag was inserted, the youngster makes his way to Namjoon handing him the hot cup.

"Now tell me Joonie, what happend?" The taller asks still standing in front of the other, crossing his arms.

"I was ... I was outside cleaning the porch. A ... a ... a client came in and I had finished already so I ... I went in to help Changbin. But I couldn't find him anywhere and ... and I served the customer. After I looked for him everywhere again and guess what?" The older stopped crying and is looking somehow upset.

He looks intensly at the other male, the taller could still feel the sadness lingering in the air, underneath the anger the older is emitting.

"Had he gone home?" Jungkook is still trying to put the pieces together.

"He was ... he was in the storage room ... with ... with ... with Jinnie ... and they were ... they were ... they were having sex." The mask the older was trying so hard to put up cracked open and reveled his true feelings.

Namjoon tried to look furious at Changbin but how could he?

If both males loved each other, how is that their fault?

The older starts crying yet again, this time without any sobbing or wobbly lips, he just let his tears roll down his face.

The younger sits down besides him and embraces him in a warm hug, rubbing his back gently.

The long haired can feel the wet tears touch his neck.

"I'm so really sorry Joonie." The younger pleads without having any fault in this.

"I ... I don't know ... what to do ... I ... I ... I lost him now." Namjoon’s shoulders slightly wiggle whilst the younger places a reassuring hand to the older's head.

"I think I never told you this story but you really need it right now." The platinum-haired detangles himself from Jungkook and wipes his face with the hem of his t-shirt.

Now he can focus on what the younger has to say.

"There is this very famous story in Thailand about these two guys." Namjoon definitely never heard about such a thing.

"In was a mere average male, who went to University and was living his life. Korn was anything but that.

He was the son of a famous Mafia boss. Just like you he loved to read and tried to stay unnoticed in his little corner, not wanting to cause any harm to anyone.

One day they meet and In just couldn't let him go like this. They fell in love shortly after. Yet their parents were having none of it.

Both fathers couldn't stand each other and made their son's break relations. Of course they found another way to meet and began to make plans to run away. Unfortunately their fathers found their new house and barged in.

Both males were put against a wall, either they go or they go. No other option was there.

Korn, preferring to die then to lose his In, he take his father's gun and committed suicide. In on his end couldn't take the lose and killed himself right after." The older was shocked.

Should this make me feel better?

It was indeed very similar to their story, his and Jinnie's, but he got another chance yet he let it slip like water through his fingers.

Namjoon sighs and takes a sip of his warm tea.

"Their fathers regretted what they did and wrapped a red thread around both of the males pinkies in their grave to make their souls meet in the new body of theirs." Jungkook cracks a bunny smile and takes Namjoon’s hand in his.

"And indeed, because of that red thread their souls were able to meet again, as Dean and Pharm.

You see at the beginning they didn't understand what was happening, why they felt so attached to each other. Soon they remembered and broke up." The older was taken aback. His mouth opens and his eyes widen.

"What? Why? If they remembered why did they break up?" Namjoon asks confused.

"Pharm didn't wanna lose him again. He thought it was faited, that Dean only loved him because of Korn's old memories and he would leave him again one day. But you know what happened?" The platinum-haired shakes his head.

"Pharm tried suicide too, just like In. He wanted to leave the other before he could leave him himself.

Fortunately, Dean found him before the unthinkable happened. With the help of the still living father of Korn, they were able to be forgiven and finally accept that it was a second chance, a chance to make it right." Namjoon could feel a tear roll down his face.

This time it was a happy one, he felt Pharm's story to the core.

Jungkook squeezes the other hand tightly and continues.

"Your brother did the exact same to you actually. He wrapped two strings to your pinky and ankle since ancient China did that too. He wanted to make sure your souls would meet again." The platinum-haired didn't know anything about this.

He was surprised yet again.

"But ... So ... we ..." Jungkook nods eventhough he didn't quite understand what the older meant.

"After a year of waiting, he lost hope. He took the threads away but unknowns to him Jimin put it again. To make it less suspicious he only wrapped a tiny on around your ankle, but it seems to have worked." Jungkook holds him again in his arms, this time resting his chin on the older's shoulder.

"You don't gotta give up Joonie. Your story is just like Inkorn's. They had to wait 20 years before they could be reunited. Your brother and best friend tried everything to but you two together again.

You aren't alone in this. I'm here, your brother, Jimin and even fate is. Changbin is not destined to be with Jinnie, you are! It's only an illusion Namjoon, and he will soon realize it." The platinum-haired hugs him back, this time smiling and showing his signature dimples.

"Besides, when Taehyung saw Jinnie the other day ... he believed it the moment he laid eyes on him. Whatever is controlling our lives wants you two to be together. "

The last hopeless tears rolls down Namjoon’s cheek while the next hopefull one takes its place.
