Gazing at the tar black canvas adorned with pearls, cool breeze dancing with silky brown hair making them dishevelled but still looking pretty as ever. A soft smile emblazed the alluring features of the beauty sitting in the balcony of Kim's residence.

He continued peering at the beautiful night sky, sitting in a big swinging chair. A blanket covering his lap as he enjoyed the chilly night.

As usual cut off from the others he was spending his time alone. He wasn't welcomed to share their joyous moments. And now he was used to this treatment. Cheery laughing voices got surprisingly loud indicating the source of voice approaching him.

He frowned not really getting why they were coming upstairs. He was told by his step mother that today Nara and her boyfriend is going to have a dinner together so he shouldn't join them or disturb them.

The footsteps got louder as a beaming Nara clinging to her boyfriend entered the balcony. Taehyung stared at the two, with confusion.

Nara dragged Jungkook towards a chair and made him sit there and finally spoke.

"I'm gonna do dishes till then wait here."

Jungkook stayed quiet. She then turned towards Taehyung.

"Tae can you please accompany him for a few minutes. I'm gonna help mom with cleaning up the mess."

Taehyung didn't know how to respond. He couldn't say no because she'll ask the reason and he can't tell anything to her, besides it might be impolite so he just nodded, defeated by the situation.

"That's great. Enjoy you two I'll be back."

Taehyung sucked up a deep breath and played with his fingers awkwardly, not really knowing what to do.

"Tae..."

A soft hushed voice reached his ears as he looked up at the owner of the voice. There he sat, looking handsome and composed as usual, gazing at the aforementioned.

"It's Taehyung for you."

He corrected in a small voice, as he stared back at the dark black orbs. Jungkook smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Yeah... I realized.... Now it's just--- Taehyung for me."

Taehyung looked away. He didn't want to feel the hurt visible in Jungkook's voice.

"You made it like this..."

Taehyung replied as he smiled prettily. He leaned back in the chair as he glanced back at the sky.

"You made me like this..."

He murmured softly and closed his eyes as he started humming to himself. He wanted to distract himself before he would burst out crying.

Jungkook sat there, speechless. He wanted to ask a lot of things but it seemed like he lost the opportunity. He peered at taehyung's face. Beauty dripping from each and every feature. His long ashes resting on his pink soft cheeks. Cherry lips slightly parted as he sang a beautiful melody.

He knew he misunderstood something but he didn't know what actually went wrong.

And now he just have to find answers in the silence, because word's ended long ago between them.

A weak passed in just a blink of eye. And now Taehyung was headed towards seeing the apartment he was hopefully going to buy.

He was determined to buy it as quick as he could. He exited the car and padded towards the man whom he assumed to be the estate agent. He bowed and greeted him.

The man lead him into the building. Both entered the elevator, soon they reached the floor where taehyung's future apartment was situated.

He anxiously tapped his foot on the floor, hoping that it would be according to his liking. Finally the man lead him into the furnished apartment. Taehyung was happy would be an understatement. He was ecstatic seeing the interior.

He sealed the deal with the agent and drove away, finally feeling revealed.

He happily entered the cafe where he was going to meet his friends. A ding of bell rang when Taehyung entered the cafe and immediately got tackled into a hug by his best friend.

"Chim! I finally found my own apartment."

He happily announced not caring about the attention he got by other customers. Jimin squealed happily. But a sudden interruption was made by someone's voice.

"You brats! I'm here too. Come here."

Jin ordered and Taehyung smiled and ran towards him and engulfed him into a hug.

"Hyung! It's so beautiful. You are gonna help me with the shifting."

"Of course baby bear."

Jin replied ruffling his hair. After a few moments they all settled down and started their usual chats.

"Hyungie, Namjoon hyung haven't hung out with us for such a long time."

"Yeah Joon is really busy these days. He is working on a new project. That brat Jungkook is just a workaholic, I told that dumbo to get some rest but he never listens and keep over working and Joon being his second dad won't let him stay at office alone---"

Jin stopped his rant when he realised the name he just included in his conversation. He looked at Jimin and noticed his bitter expressions while taehyung's head was ducked down. He regretted opening his mouth so he decided to change the topic.

"Anyways I wanted to tell you a good news."

Both friends whipped their heads towards Jin eager to listen to it. Jin grinned.

"Me and Joon are adopting a four year old baby boy in a few weeks."

Taehyung's smile widened as his eyes sparkled with happiness.

"Oh my god really hyung?? I'm so happy for you two."

Taehyung cheered. Jimin also nodded furiously as he congratulated him.

"Yeah you two are gonna help me  a lot though, because I don't know a lot about parenting."

Taehyung and Jimin both agreed as they started conversing about the baby boy. Taehyung won't lie but somewhere in his heart he felt a pang at the mention of a baby.

He smiled sadly, 'Wish I could just go back in time, hold you close to me again, hear your little cries, see you waddle your small feets, hold your cute chubby hands again.... or at least smell your soft baby scent---- just one more time.

"--Tae Taehyung!!"

"Yeah?"

Taehyung was snapped out of his thoughts by jimin's voice who was asking about what to order. Taehyung told about his order and carried on the small talks they were having.
