A/N: ayyo ladies and gentlemen thank you for the 300+ reads!!

this chapter is a bit dry.

my apologies.

p.s. this is how tae looks for his wedding.

~~~~~

"Inhale. Exhale. Inhale."

Taehyung paced up and down the room, mumbling to himself. He was trying to get his breathing under control before he ended up slipping into his headspace.

That would be a disaster.

It was the day of his wedding.

He was marrying the Jeon Jungkook today.

He wanted to run away right now.

But here he was, all ready in his wedding suit, waiting for the wedding to start.

"What are you mumbling under your breath?''

Jin asked him, from the sofa on which he was elegantly perched on, eyes following his every move.

Taehyung had been pacing up and down without a pause for the last 15 minutes.

He hoped he didn't plan to spend the rest of the time doing that.

Mainly because they had a little less than an hour to waste before the wedding began.

"Nothing Jin hyung, just trying to calm myself down."

Shaking his head, Taehyung replied, looking very nervous.

"Are you nervous Tae?"

Jin asked softly, feeling bad for him. He was marrying a man he barely knew in front of thousands of people.

"Uhh.."

Taehyung looked up, confused and not really knowing what to say.

Noticing Taehyung's hesitance, Jin reassured him.

"It's okay if you are, you know? It is your wedding after all."

"Yeah. But it is an arranged marriage."

Taehyung whispered, shrugging his shoulders.

Frowning at his reply, Jin felt disappointed about Taehyung's view on the wedding. Just because it was arranged did not mean that he couldn't be happy.

He could at least try and make an effort in the relationship instead if just hating Jungkook.

"That doesn't mean it's less than any other wedding. Instead of falling in love before getting married, you can get married first and then fall in love."

Taehyung turned away from Jin, facing his back to Jin, staring out through the window, at the vast expanse of the sky, before speaking loudly as if he were trying to convince himself that he hated Jungkook.

"I'm not going to fall in love with him. I hate him and he also hates me."

Jin was honestly exasperated by Taehyung by now.

Why did he keep insisting that he hates Jungkook?

He barely even knew Jungkook so how could he even say that he hated him.

He hadn't even given him a chance for fuck's sake.

And for a matter of fact, he knew Jungkook did not hate Taehyung.

How did Jin know that?

Simply because he was observant.

He had seen the way Jungkook had kept looking at Taehyung when Taehyung had been nothing less of a brat to him.

He had that look of adoration in his eyes.

Even though it was very subtle, hidden behind the cold mask, Jin had been able to see it anyways.

Inhaling sharply to avoid snapping at the already nervous boy, he spoke softly, correcting him.

"Only you keep saying you hate him. And he does not hate you."

Then he heard Tae say something in a very soft voice, barely over a whisper that left him confused.

"He doesn't hate me yet."

Yet?

Why was he speaking as if he was hiding something that would cause Jungkook to hate him if he ever found out.

Does he have a kid or something?

Or does he like pineapples on pizza?

Is that why he thinks Jungkook will hate him?

Actually wait, it's better to ask him before jumping to conclusions.

So he asked him, in a soft cautious voice as if he were coaxing a puppy to come to him.

"Yet? What does that mean?"

Taehyung's eyes widened when he realized that he accidentally slipped that yet out which made it quite obvious that he was hiding something.

Trying to cover up his slip, he said rather dejectedly.

"Nothing hyung. Never mind."

Oh no. This is just not done.

Taehyung had to tell him now or else it could lead to major trouble later.

But forcing him was useless. 

Taehyung was stubborn that way, just like Namjoon.

But luckily for him, hr knew exactly how to extract secrets from two of them.

So he asked him softly again.

"Tae, is this about what you told me that you will tell me later?"

Taehyung kept quiet for a few minuted before slowly nodding his head and mumbling,

"Yeah hyung."

Okay, step one was successful, Jin congratulated himself internally.

"Tae honey, why don't you tell me? Maybe I'll be able to help you?"

Taehyung looked up confused.

Now?

Before the wedding?

But Jin hyung wouldn't stop the wedding now.

The guests were already here.

So would it be okay to tell him now?

"Jin hyung now? The wedding is in like half an hour."

"Is that less time for you to tell me?"

Half an hour should be sufficient but was he ready?

"No. Not really but-"

Jin was trying very hard not to snap at the evidently nervous boy but he was reaching the end of his patience and Taehyung just wasn't ready to tell him anything.

He had known that Taehyung was hiding something ever since he had gotten engaged to Jungkook.

Something was wrong and he needed to know what.

"But what Tae? You've been avoiding this since so long. Tell me, it'll put both, you and me at ease."

Looking down, shoulders slumped, Taehyung whispered so softly that he could barely even hear himself.

"But Jin hyung, you'll also get angry at me and hate me also."

Jin's eyes softened as he heard the vulnerability in his voice, posture.

He got up and crouched down next to where Taehyung was slouched on the other couch.

"Tae, no matter what happens I will never ever hate you. And if you have done something wrong, I might get angry at you for a while but after that I'll try my best to understand and help you okay. I'm always there for you Tae, always remember that."

At that he looked up slowly, and whispered.

"Promise you won't judge me?"

"Tae..."

Quickly apologizing before Jin got upset, he asked

"Okay okay sorry hyung. I'll tell you. But you have to promise not to tell anyone?"

Jin was slighly surprised at that. Don't tell anyone?

But that would be hard.

Considering that he and Namjoon had made a promise not to ever hide anything from each other.

"Not tell anyone?"

"Yeah. You can't tell anyone. Absolutely anyone."

Feeling slightly guilty he asked once again.

"Not even Namjoon? You know I can't keep secrets from him."

Taehyung's eyes widened in understanding why he was asking him.

He knew about the promise Jin hyung and Namjoon hyung had.

Sometimes he wished he also had someone who would love him the way his hyungs loved each other.

But yet here he was, in a wedding suit, getting ready to marry Jungkook.

"Umm. Okay I'll tell Joon hyung myself later. But for now only you can know."

"Okay Tae. Now tell me."

Gulping slowly, he nodded, not knowing where to start from.

But he needed to tell Jin hyung this.

Or else it would eat him up from inside.

"Uh okkayyy"

Realizing it's better to dive head first into this rather than beating around the bush, he asked Jin,

"Hyung what do you know about age regression?"

A/N: hope ya all liked it.

next chapter will explain the details of how little space will work in this book.
