Third Person's P.O.V :-

A car hastily drove into the driveway of the Kim residents above the hill and screeched its tires against the pavement as Taehyung opened the car door and stepped down angrily.

Water droplets were running down Taehyung's wet clothes as he slammed the car door shut and briskly walked towards the front gate of the house.

"Taehyung is back!" Jin suddenly called out to Hoseok and Namjoon as he turned away from the window.

Namjoon sprung up from his seat instantly,"I'll go get him" He uttered as he took rushed steps towards the front door.

It had been hours since Taehyung had stormed out of the house without telling anyone anything. It was like doom had taken over the old house and all the three participants waited for Taehyung's return with palpable breaths. But now with Taehyung's arrival, the tension was finally looking to be resolved.

Namjoon briskly walked towards the door to open it for Taehyung but before he could even touch the doorknob, the door was flung open as it slammed into the wall behind, making a loud sound and causing both Jin and Hoseok to flinch.

A pissed off Taehyung stood on the entrance doorway as he panted and stared ahead with a hard gaze.

"Tae-Taehyung?! What happened?! Why are you all drenched and muddy?!" Jin asked as he rushed forward to cup Taehyung's face in concern.

"I went to die and came back after realizing that I shouldn't be the one to die, it should be the ones who made my life a living hell" Taehyung gritted out hatefully as he stared at the ground, his bangs covering his eyes.

Seokjin gasped in shock as he heard the words the youngest Kim uttered,"Taehyung what do you mean you went to die?!" He asked as tears welled up in his eyes.

"I wanted to die but then I realized that if I would have done so, the people who made my life miserable, they wouldn't care. They'd be living their life to the fullest while I'll be rotting in the ground" Taehyung said as he clenched his fists.

"That's not the problem here! Taehyung, you went to die? Why did you want to die?" Seokjin asked as he cupped both of Taehyung's cheeks and frantically looked into his eyes, searching for an answer.

"Are you really looking for an explanation?" Taehyung asked sternly as he yanked his face away from Jin's hold.

"My entire life, I have been toyed with, kept in the dark and subjected to unreasonable pain, confusion and betrayals, I just couldn't bear it anymore!" Taehyung said as he gritted his teeth,"I felt like an utter failure so I wanted to end my miserable existence" He said in a mellowed out tone.

"Taehyu-" Jin tried to reassure him otherwise but Taehyung cut him off midway.

"But now I have a goal, a desire, which is to make the ones who did this to me suffer, and I'd do anything to get it" Taehyung replied in a calm tone as he looked up to see the three participants of the room staring back at him with mixed emotions.

Shock, fear and skepticism swirled in their eyes as they stared back at him.

"What do you mean by that?" Namjoon  asked as he leaned away from the hallway wall and turned Taehyung towards him by the shoulder to look at him fully.

"Did I stutter?" Taehyung glared at him angrily,"I mean revenge" he explained.

"We're all here in the first place for revenge, Taehyung, what do you think we have been doing up until now?! We have two university students tied up in our basement!" Namjoon yelled at Taehyung.

"And what did that accomplish?! None of them are the ones who actually killed Noona, it was your idea to bring them into the basement and now look at us, nothing but a bunch of petty kidnappers!" Taehyung snarled to him as he rolled his eyes,"Don't get in my way, you've been useless enough so do not get in my way!" He added as he glared at Namjoon.

Namjoon's eyebrows started to twitch as he glared back at the youngest,"Jin hyung, take that guy and his sister with you and leave, I need to have a conversation with Taehyung here" He hissed as he continued glaring at Taehyung and the other glared back with just as much ferocity.

"Guys, please calm down, we can talk it out-"

"I SAID LEAVE!" Namjoon yelled as both Jin and Hoseok flinched.

Reluctantly Jin, ushered Hoseok upstairs to leave both of them alone. Jin just hoped things didn't deteriorate to fist fighting amongst themselves.

Finally left alone, Namjoon glared back at Taehyung who firmly stood his ground in front of him,"What did you say?" He asked sternly and took strides towards Taehyung and grabbed him by the collar harshly,"Up until now, whatever I did, I did it for you! I did it for Taeri!" He hissed.

"Shut your goddamn mouth" Taehyung looked at him, his eyes filled with the fury of hell,"Do not mention my sister's name, Do not. Ever. Stop using my sister's name to use me as one of your pawns in your petty plans" He added in a menacing voice. "What you did until now was meaningless" He said.

"Meaningless? Really, Taehyung?" Namjoon asked as he pulled Taehyung closer by the collar,"I brought the truth in front of you and you think my efforts were meaningless? Why, huh? Because you finally found out that your lovely Jimin wasn't so innocent after all? Is your ego hurt because your judgement was wrong?" He hissed venomously,"Can't accept a single defeat?"

"Shut up! Shut Up! Shut Up!" Taehyung yelled as he tried to push Namjoon out of the way but he couldn't even move an inch,"Jimin couldn't hurt a fly, I don't give a damn if he wasn't so innocent, he doesn't have the guts to hurt someone! Now shut up about him" He said as the veins in his neck pumped madly.

Namjoon laughed bitterly,"Wouldn't hurt a fly, huh? He was about to call the cops on you when he found out that you were Taeri's brother" He hissed,"Weren't you glad that I was there in that moment to knock him out and save you? Didn't you come running into my arms? Didn't you cling to me? Didn't you cry on my shoulder?! Deny me, Taehyung, COME ON!" He yelled.

"You did the bare minimum, what do you even want? Recognition?" Taehyung snarled at him,"I was emotional in that moment, I wasn't in the right state of mind!" He hissed.

"Recognition? No! I want you to get over your damn feelings for that Park!" Namjoon yelled,"Your feeling always got in the way of our revenge! Just forget about Jimin!" He said in frustration.

"Oh really? You sound like a jealous boy just because I was close to Jimin when he's not yours! You can't tell me who I should or shouldn't care for so stop getting in my way Namjoon" Taehyung yelled back at him.

Namjoon grunted bitterly,"You really think a pesky little thing like him would have my attention?" He asked as his hand trailed up to cup Taehyung's face,"Be honest with me, Taehyung, can you really not tell who really I want?" He asked as he leaned closer to Taehyung.

"What are you insinuating?" Taehyung asked, his heartbeat quickened as he looked him in the eyes,"If you have something to say, come out with it" he said firmly.

"You look just like her, you look just like your sister, Taeri" Namjoon whispered as his eyes glided over Taehyung's dusty yet alluring face,"She was my fiance, I miss her so much and you...your face..it's..." Namjoon trailed off as he leaned closer.

"Your fiance? Is that the reason why you're attracted to me? Cause I look like Taeri?" Taehyung asked as he slowly moved away from him, "Was this a confession?" He asked, a little terrified and disgusted.

"Yes, it was! I hate Park Jimin, just be mine instead, Taehyung!" Namjoon demanded.

"What?!" Taehyung couldn't believe what he was hearing, he couldn't believe that Namjoon had a thing for him all this time, he was lost for words,"Is this a joke?" He whispered.

"It's not, you can be my new Taeri, be with me, we'll be happy together!" Namjoon said as he forcefully pulled Taehyung closer.

"You want me to replace Taeri Noona?" Taehyung asked in disgust,"Is this a joke? I can't believe that all this time, when I would lean in your arms, I thought that it was my way of being vulnerable and letting you know that I needed you as a friend and support system, but turns out you actually thought of me as a replacement for your dead fiance?!" He yelled, disgust clear in his voice.

Namjoon gritted his teeth,"When she died, you'd always cry in my arms, reminiscing about her and seek comfort in spite of knowing how much you resembled her, tell me Taehyung, were you not trying to seduce me?" He asked as he pulled Taehyung closer.

"I was seeking comfort in those moments, you were a friend who I thought I could trust! And how can you ask me if I was trying to seduce you?" He snarled at him,"Are you insane?" He hissed.

"Be with me, Taehyung, who else can you even trust? The Jeon? The Park? They'll betray you in the end, I won't, I'll always be by your side, be my new Taeri" Namjoon insisted.

"You're insane" Taehyung growled as he looked at him with eyes filled with hatred,"Just cause I sought comfort from you doesn't mean I'm ever going to date you" He said heatedly,"Do not ever talk to me in that way again or I'll break your jaw" He added sternly.

Namjoon's grip tightened around Taehyung's wrists,"Break my jaw? why? Because it's me? I bet you would have melted in seconds if it was Park Jimin in my place right?" He hissed out,"You probably would have cried tears of joy and you might have even spread your legs for him, perhaps" He ridiculed angrily.

"Shut up" Taehyung growled as he glared at Namjoon,"And you're right, I would have been with him in that moment" He told him,"But it's all because he made me feel protected! He made me think that I could be vulnerable and safe in his arms! He wasn't attracted to my body but he was attracted to me for who I was! And that's not something you can ever provide" He added as his voice broke and his eyes got teary.

"He's not attracted to your body? Then why were you lying inside his arms this morning when I found you two in the bedroom?" Namjoon asked, a sort of insanity spiraling in his eyes,"Did you have sex with him?" He asked as he caged Taehyung against the wall.

Taehyung was speechless,"Even if we did, what is it to you?" He asked coldly,"It was a moment between us, a moment I shared with him!" He yelled,"So even if we did do it, it was a private moment which I'll never allow you or other people to comment on" he added as he stared at him coldly.

"So gullible, Taehyung, can't you see that he wanted you for your body all this time? Even when you went to the university, he was all over you, circling around you like a horndog" Namjoon said as he gripped Taehyung's face and pulled him closer,"I can do the things he did to your body as well, why don't you come into my arms tonight?" He asked.

"Shut. Your. Mouth" Taehyung growled at him,"I won't allow you to even say Jimin's name anymore! Don't you dare to compare yourself with a beautiful soul like him! He's much more than you'll ever be! And he's not just about body, he's about heart, mind, soul and body" he added,"And why would I even touch your repulsive body?!" He asked,"You're not my type, you're not even close" He added sternly.

"Maybe if I force you enough times to be with me, you'll start considering me as your ideal type" Namjoon hissed as he harshly gripped Taehyung's wrist,"After all, isn't that what happened with the Jeon?" He ridiculed as Taehyung's eyes started to glisten with rage and tear.

"What? What is that look for, Taehyung? Am I wrong? Did you not sleep with the Jeon multiple times?" Namjoon snickered sadistically,"You claimed to hate him yet had sex with him? I don't know if you know this, but normally men can't get hard for the things that repulse them" He added.

"How dare you?!" Taehyung yelled hatefully,"It was YOU who ordered me to do it! Do you even know what I had to go through?! Why did you even put that into the plan, it accomplished NOTHING!! All it ever did was help me lose my dignity!" He yelled as he tried to punch Namjoon but the other didn't let go of his arms.

"You know nothing, nothing, NOTHING! About what I felt, the turmoil, the conflict, the confusion, YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT IT!!" Taehyung ended up crying as the painful memories flashed through his mind,"Why did you do it? If you had ways to get the files out through your private sources, why did you subject me to such humiliation?" He asked tearfully as he begged Namjoon for an answer.

"To punish you, Taeri.." Namjoon whispered as he pulled Taehyung closer and nuzzled the side of his face,"We were engaged yet you ran off to Seoul to go play pretend as the Jeon's lover" He whispered as his grip tightened on Taehyung's wrist.

"How dare you keep me in the dark? It makes me wonder all of those times when you said you loved me, were you even telling the truth or just saying empty words to me like you did to Jeon" Namjoon whispered while frowning,"Was I ever even important to you, Taeri? Why did you not think about me at all, huh?" He asked as he held Taehyung close.

"You ought to be punished for that" Namjoon uttered as more tears fell from Taehyung's eyes,"I did what I did because you hurt me, say sorry to me, Taeri" He mumbled.

"You're insane.." Taehyung gasped in horror and shock,"Let go of me, you motherfucker! Can't you see I'm a different person?! I'M TAEHYUNG! HER BROTHER!!" He yelled, seeking validation for his existence.

"Yes, her brother who looks just like her, Just like my fiance" Namjoon hissed out and pulled Taehyung forward before dragging him towards one of the rooms downstairs and throwing him down on the mattress.

Taehyung was in shock and disbelief as he was pulled through the hallway and flung into a room.

He couldn't believe it. This was ridiculous. The person in front of him, he had trusted that person with his life multiple times yet right now he could hardly even recognise who was standing in front of him anymore.

Why him? Wasn't all that turmoil enough already? Hadn't he been through enough already?

Why was his once beloved hyung staring him down like he was some kind of feral animal that needed to be disciplined?

Enough already. Taehyung was tired. Tired of being proven wrong. Tried of being betrayed. Tired of trusting the wrong people. Tired of being weak.

Something akin of hot lava started to erupted within Taehyung's core.

How dare they? How dare he? He was not some kind of damsel and he'd prove it.

"Do you really think you can force me to like you in this pathetic way?" Taehyung asked as he moved himself from the mattress and stood up, his stare burning through Namjoon's being.

"I'll tear your face apart before you ever get to touch me, it disgusts me to even think of you in that way" He added as he glared at him angrily,"I don't want you and that's all there is to it" He said firmly.

Seeing Namjoon's agitated face, somehow satisfied Taehyung a little bit he wasn't done. He needed to hurt Namjoon, as much as he did hurt him, perhaps even more.

"The moment I first found out that Noona chose Jimin over you, I was starting to feel a little bad for you but now? I can clearly see why she chose him over you, you're insufferable and miserable, she probably felt trapped while being in a relationship with you" Taehyung hissed out,"Even if she did say empty words to you as love confession, I wouldn't be surprised because you're sick in the head, Kim Namjoon!" He yelled venomously.

Namjoon gritted his teeth as his temper skyrocketed,"WHAT EVEN IS IN JIMIN?! FIRST TAERI AND NOW YOU! JUST CHOOSE ME! FOR ONCE!" He yelled in frustration.

"He's kind, loyal, thoughtful and above all he loves me for who I am!" Taehyung yelled at him,"And are you really that stupid to believe that I'd choose you over him?! YOU WERE MY DEAD SISTER'S FIANCE, DAMN IT! I SAW YOU AS A BROTHER!" He yelled in vexation.

"He's fooling you again" Namjoon uttered as he gulped the lump in his throat and gave Taehyung a hard stare,"You'll regret it again, Taehyung, and then you'll once again come running into my arms, seeking comfort" He hissed out hatefully.

"At least he's capable of showing true affection unlike you who's just showing his jealousy" Taehyung said in disgust,"You're jealous that I like him more than you and you hate every inch of him and hate the fact that he's the one who won my heart and not you" He added,"Jealousy is a disease and you're the embodiment of it" he added as anger burned within him.

"You know what I regret? That I was too naive to realize that you liked me in that way all this time and you were just trying to get close to me so you can get a chance to be in bed with me!" Taehyung snapped,"Did you really think that you'd be the one with whom I'd want to feel vulnerable again?" He asked.

"I was young and I was emotional, but I'm mature now, I'm not going to let a repulsive piece of shit like you take advantage of me" He yelled angrily,"I won't ever come running back to someone like you" He said firmly.

Namjoon gritted his teeth as he balled his fists in anger,"I hope you fall for him deeper, Taehyung, I truly hope that you do and then when you're hopelessly in love with him, I hope he breaks your heart" He hissed venomously.

"Even if he does! I won't come to you for comfort!" Taehyung yelled at Namjoon,"And that's something I'd never ever regret! I'm glad that he's the one with whom I fell in love with, I just wish it was earlier! If It was earlier you would have never even gotten close to me with those disgusting feelings" he snapped at him.

"Why can't you just be mine?!" Namjoon asked in desperation.

"Why can't you just accept that you can't force people to get feelings for you?" Taehyung snapped back,"Because the answer is no, I won't ever be with you!" He added forcefully.

"And consider this a warning, Kim Namjoon, I said it politely because for a period of time I respected you as my hyung and thought of you as family but the next time you dare look at me those disgusting thoughts, I'll break your jaw" Taehyung hissed and storm past Namjoon to exit the room.

"You could have at least given me a chance, Taehyung, I'm a much better option than the Park or Jeon" Namjoon uttered, making Taehyung pause in the middle of his steps.

"I'll only say this once, so listen to me carefully, I do not have time for your useless feelings and sentiments, I have no time to spare for anything at all, especially not for something as useless as love and infatuation, so you better stay out of my way" He hissed and stormed out of the room.
