Junkook jumps up in happiness as he heard the sound of car. His tae tae hyung is home!

He immediately walks to meet his tae tae hyung at the front door but he stops in his track and his smile fades as he saw a woman entering the front door, like she own the place.

"Oh! Ara! Welcome." Junkook flinch at the name. Namjoon words ringing in his head.

"Ara has been dead for the past 3 years."

Junkook felt his breaths hitching as he watch yoongi engulf this new woman, Ara, in his embrace.

He frowns and that's when his eyes lands on his tae tae hyung who was standing in the doorway looking weak and tired. Yet was directing the staff to take the luggage of this new lady to the prepared room.

He watched as his hyung didn't even bait an eye to the elder ones in the room.

Soon, after exchanging few words. Yoongi turns to junkook with a smile that junkook almost forgot exist.

"Junkook, this is Lee Ara. Ara, this is junkook, my youngest brother."

"Oh, yoongs! I already know!" Ara laugh making junkook scrunch his eyebrows. He didn't like the sound of it. It feels... Almost uncomfortable.

"Nice to meet you noona."

"Aish! Yoongi, haven't you tell junkook?"

Junkook frowns at Ara's words. He glance at taehyung who stunned for few seconds at Ara's words before resuming, busing himself in his phone standing behind the two.

Yoongi smiles apologetically and looks at junkook.

"Junkook, Ara and taehyung are getting married in the upcoming weeks. Hopefully the first week of next month."

Junkook eyes widen as his gaze immediately turns to his tae tae hyung as if asking, 'hyung? Are you okay', in response. Taehyung looks at him.

And junkook get's his answer. He felt anger surge through him. How could their eldest brother could fall this much? How could he didn't see his brother's sufferings. How could he just.

He was to say something but then his eyes met tae hyung eye's again and taehyung just shakes his head in no slightly indicating junkook to don't say anything.

Junkook knew better to go against his tae tae hyung, and so he kept quiet and just nods at yoongi before excusing himself and running upstairs in excuse of having high school tomorrow.

Once junkook has leave the room. Yoongi turns to looks at Ara again.

"Would you like something? Or you would like to rest? Your room has been ready, it's right across tae's."

Ara smiles tiredly. "Resting sounds heaven." Yoongi smiles and nods.

"Minjun! Show Miss. Ara her room and make sure, she has a warm welcome and everything she's required." He then turned to Ara. "You go and rest. Will talk tomorrow morning about everything else." Ara nods and also leave. Once she was gone as well, yoongi smile fades as he turned to looks at taehyung who was looking down.

"Taehyung."

"Yes, hyung?"

"I want to talk to you. Come to my office." Saying this, yoongi turns and leave to go to his house office.

Taehyung sigh and follows after half heartedly.

He knocks on the door of yoongi's office and after getting premission, walks inside.

It was a simple room office with a desk and chair and in front of the office table and table, on the wall are the cabinets and there's a window behind the office furniture with couches. It wasn't very large but occupy a good space.

"Take a seat." Yoongi points at the chair in front. Taehyung sits in it. He was so done with this all. He didn't even bother looking at his brother.

"What do you think about Ara?"

Taehyung looks at yoongi and shrug making yoongi frowns and sigh.

"Look taehyung, you have to move on."

"I can't hyung. I am sorry. I just can't forget Her especially when I saw how opposite the two are."

Yoongi sigh and looks at taehyung. This time, he has a tired expression on his face as well.

"Tae. I do understand i have made a grave mistake but you have to get out of this depression phase. Not everyone is same. You just have to see the good in Lee Ara. Stop comparing her to Jeon Ara. That Ara has already dead. She will not come again. You have to lower the standards and looks for the best in others, if you want to committed."

"But what if I don't want o be committed anymore hyung?" Taehyung asks immediately.

Yoongi sigh again.

"I am not having this conversation anymore. Go to your room and take rest. Tomorrow, you are taking Ara to a date. And in evening, we will discuss about both of yours marriage details. I hope you see this from my point of view."

Taehyung wanted to add 'and I hope you see it from mine' but he stays quiet.

"Now you may go."

"Yes hyung." Taehyung politely stood up and leave. His feet took him to his room. Once he was inside the safety of his room, and has locked it. He couldn't suppress his emotions anymore. Sobs starting to free themselves from their repressed state as he cried his heart out.

He put his hand over his mouth and cries.

His heart aching remembering the last words of Ara.

Her whole body was burnt and yet she uttered these words with difficulty.

'I- I l-love yo-u.'

"Ara!!"

"Ara..." Taehyung whispers her name, calling for her warmth to surrounds him once again. But, he couldn't feel anything. He was... Like a broken shell.

That night, 3 years ago, he died along side her.

Just as her hand fall, here taehyung's hand fall.

They were one soul in two bodies and now, half of that soul has left the world while the other half is disappearing slowly.

Taehyung does want to move on. He does want to believe in love again. He does want to feel lively again. But, One thing taehyung sure about is that being with Lee Ara, he will lost his remaining soul as well. Then again, he couldn't do anything about it. He is bounded by it, Till his last breath.
