Taehyung eyes widen hearing Minjun words. He was taken aback.

"W-what? What's the time?" He glance at the clock in his room, and his eyes widen than wide. It was already 1' o clock.

They were supposed to go around 12 and they have their breakfast around 8 or 7.

Taehyung has been lost in his thoughts for more than 3 hours.

This is getting out of hand. Taehyung thought. He doesn't remember the time. Nor, does he remember what was he doing.

It was at that moment, taehyung found he was leaning against the balcony door as his legs pained for standing for who knows how long after a horrible panic attack.

Minjun frowns as he saw the lost look on his young master taehyung's face.

"Master taehyung?"

When he didn't get a response, he walks to taehyung who was still leaning against the door, looking lost.

He taps taehyung's shoulder making him jerk and looks at Minjun with fearful eyes, trying to remember why Minjun is here.

"Hyung? Why are you here?" He asks again, as he looks around. Finally, more aware.

Minjun frowns turn into worriedness.

"Master taehyung, are you alright?" Taehyung nods as Minjun helped him to sit on one of the couch placed in his room.

"Young master. You don't look good. How about, you take a rest today, I will inform Lady Ara that you aren't feeling well." Taehyung looks at Minjun and shakes his head in no.

"Ofcouse not, Minjun hyung. It's still early. I will be alright until we have to leave."

Minjun frowns deepens.

"But, Master Taehyung, it's already past 1." Taehyung eyes widen and he immediately turned to look at the clock.

"Oh shit!" He stood up in hurry.

"Is lady Ara ready?"

Minjun nods. "Yes, young master. She has waiting for you downstairs for half an hour. Should i-"

"No need. I will be there in 10 minutes. Kindly inform her. " Saying this, taehyung walks inside the bathroom, changing his clothes, no time for bath. He has already taken one before breakfast.

He wear a light blue shirt and white jeans. And as he was styling his hairs, his eyes lands on the necklace. He touches the necklace and smiles softly before sighing and walking out, grabbing his white converse and after grabbing his wallet and phone, he left his room, almost running down the stairs.

He saw Ara sitting in the living room couch. An angry look at her face as she munch on some dry fruits glaring at the K-drama playing on the Living room large LCD.

He didn't know why but he felt nervous. Still, with a little self-talk, he walks to Ara and smiles apologetically . Just as he was about to apologize, Ara who notice him rolled her eyes and stood up.

"Finally, you are here. Look, taehyung. You're a boy. You shouldn't take this long to get ready. And also, should have a sense of time! We are going to marry in less than a month, I won't tolerate this behavior. Change yourself before I made it changed forcefully."

Taehyung eyebrow frowns. What does she meant by 'forcefully? '

" Now let's go, I have already wasted enough of my time, for this bullshit. Don't make me regret anymore or I swear- " she sigh to calm her anger down." Let's go. " And with that she turned and walks out.

Taehyung was startled with her words but nevertheless, he follows after her.

Like yesterday, she was wearing another tight dress but this was of shocking pink colour, hurting taehyung's eyes.

He sits in the driver seat like yesterday as Ara sits in the passenger seat.

Even before he started, Ara glare at him and stop him by putting her hand on his leg, making taehyung froze. He looks at her hand before looking up at her.

"Where are we going?" She asks, her tone soft as her hand massage taehyung's thigh.

Taehyung sigh and shove her hand away.

"To the aquarium."

A flash of dark cross her eyes but she overcome it when taehyung shrove her hand. She smiles and looks at front.

"Lovely. Can't wait to see, those large fishes eating the small pretty ones."

Taehyung frown at her statement but choose not to comment and drive to aquarium.

Later that day, when they arrive, yoongi call Ara and him to his room. Ara has already gone to yoongi's office while he excused himself to use the washroom. He went there to vomit the thing he has eaten during their 'date'.

It wasn't like taehyung wants to. It's just, now a days, he couldn't stomach anything for more than two hours. And he didn't know what's happening to him but he lost track of time easily. It started with 15 minutes to now hours.

To be honest, taehyung is scared. Is he dying? Perhaps?

But, whatever happens, he won't tell anyone about this, especially his brothers. And he doesn't have anyone except his brothers. No friend. He was surely popular but being the youngest one in class and having scoring the highest, having a photogenic memory is a blessing in curse.

Due to his this blessing, he never has friends. He has never enjoyed what it felt like to be normal.

Since childhood, his parents only saw him as gifted child due to his photogenic memory. They liked to brag everyone about their kid having such a blessing that leads to the jealousy among the kids around his age, so, since birth, he doesn't have someone. It used to be yoongi but after that night, there was just no one.

And junkook? He can't just tell junkook about it. He can't make junkook worry about him. He doesn't want it. He will better like to be left alone than worry junkook

Finally , after his vomiting session, making sure he is presentable except the dark circles and tired look and pale colour. He walks out and was about to knock at the office door, when, junkook called him from behind. He turns to looks at junkook and smiles softly.

"Kookie? What's wrong?"

Junkook walks to him and hug him silently making taehyung stunned in shocked. But, then he smiles and relax in his brother's embrace, letting his guard down slightly. He placed his head against his brother's shoulder and closed his eyes, letting out a sigh.

But junkook words made him opened his eyes and watch as junkook leave from there, leaving him alone.

"I am sorry, hyung. I am late."
