TAEHYUNG'S POV

I came back, tired and exhausted from the office. I went inside my apartment and banged the door shut and slumped down on my couch. I needed a break. Like an actual break. I have been working too hard and there were only few more days left for that huge ass meeting.

I quickly changed my clothes and saw a sticky note stuck to my closet's door.

I am going to stay at Yoongi's house. You know for what...hehe. Food is in the fridge and luv you loads

Your bestie, Jiminie

I rolled my eyes and crumpled the paper and threw it in the bin. How the heck can he walk even after doing that multiple times? Won't he ever get tired of it? I shook my head and grabbed my laptop. Anime time!

Just as I switched on the laptop, I realized that I hadn't visited the mansion for a long time now. How about going there for a little anime time? I shut my laptop close and grabbed my phone before hurrying off to the mansion. 

***

Same old creepy, green and black mansion, but still I loved it. It was a shame I couldn't do much to keep it alive like before. I walked in and removed the key from my pocket. Even after Jungkook caught me here, I still kept the key with me.

I opened the huge doors and walked into the...

"Unknown~" I sang and twirled around, "Into the unknooooown! Into the UNKNOOOOWWWN!"

I laughed as I walked towards the clean room aka Jungkook's room. I slowly opened it and saw that it was in the same state, but there was a thin coat of dust over everything. Sheesh! I am not cleaning again.

But I ended up cleaning it anyways. After finishing with that, I went up to the mattress and switched on the laptop. The bright light stung my eyes making my eyes turn into slits. Soon I got adjusted to the light and searched for my anime. The light emitted from the laptop made the entire room look ghostly and eerie, but I didn't mind that at all. If I was watching a horror movie, I would have seriously ran back home.

So I sat and watched another anime series. When suddenly...

"That red dress is waiting for you back at our mansion."

Wait, when he said 'our mansion' did he mean this one? I looked up from the hilarious episode playing on my laptop and looked around. Maybe he meant it was actually here, but where? I shook my head and went back to watching the anime, but it kept bugging me. I shut the laptop close and got up.

Mission: Find the red dress.

And off I went to find the shitty red dress. If I do find it, I am going to burn it to ashes. I grinned as I thought of that idea and opened the closet doors. It was empty. 

This was Jungkook's mansion, so he might have some secret hiding places where he kept dirty pictures and secrets. I went to every room and looked into the closets, but the dress wasn't there.

Where the shit did he hid that dress?

I looked under the beds, under the covers and even in the kitchen, but it was not to be found anywhere. Okay, let's act like Jungkook and find the dress.

"Okay," I took a deep breath and looked around, "I am Jungkook and I am an idiot who is a playboy. I love being a pervert and I am very smart and ugly. I don't like Taehyung because he is so yuck and handsome and I love red dresses. Oooo...I will hide that red dress here so that I can kidnap Tae and make him wear it and—"

Hold on, did I check my room? The one I had stayed in only once. I walked towards that place and opened the door. No way! I can't believe I didn't check this place at all. I opened the closet and saw nothing. 

Oh my god! What was I even thinking? He obviously was lying to me. 

I slammed the door shut and suddenly heard something fall inside. What was that? I slowly opened it a little bit and peeked through the tiny gap. It was dark, but I could see a lump of something on the ground. Is that a dead body? 

I opened the door completely and saw a wooden board fallen down and a hole on the back. Omg! There was a secret compartment here. How the heck did I not know about that? I looked down and saw a cover. I picked it up and ripped it open and gasped when I saw what it was. It was that bloody red dress.

Mission successfully completed.

Now, to burn it. But then I noticed something else had fallen from the hole. I shone my phone's flashlight at it and saw it was a blue paper.

I picked it up and realized it was a letter.

Dear one who I loved a lot before,

JUNGKOOK'S POV

"So what you got to say?" Namjoon asked as he sat down opposite to me. We were currently in a bar and I asked him to meet me for some important...shit?

"Hyung, did you know that the branch in America is losing a lot of money?" I asked him and he gave me a weird look.

"Which branch broke?" he asked me.

"The one in America."

"Huh? But there are so many trees in America. Which—"

"Hyung!" I glared at him and he laughed at the joke he made which was technically not funny at all.

"I am kidding," he laughed one last time before turning serious, "But how is that even possible?"

"Remember the meeting which my father had here in Seoul?" I said and he nodded, "I don't know much about it, but apparently a very big company refused to join hands with our company. Because of that, some of the companies are backing away."

"Woah! That's really...oh my god," he said and I nodded.

"It is confusing actually. All this time it was going fine, but all of a sudden this happened. I just can't seem to understand."

"And the American branch?"

"Loss. Huge losses and most of the stockholders have cut ties with us," I sighed and laid my head on the table, "It is just unbelievable."

"Karma is a b**ch," Namjoon sipped his drink and looked at me, "But isn't that good news for us."

"I guess," I mumbled and sighed, "but wouldn't that company be a threat to us?"

"Maybe. Not if we talk to them first."

"I want to die," I suddenly said and he whacked my head.

"Death is not the solution to everything. You got that?" he glared at me and I was just confused at his sudden outburst, "If you talk about dying, then I am going to call Jin."

"I was just joking," I chuckled, but he still had the angry face on him, "By the way, have you and Jin...you know...back now?"

"Yep," he smiled at me and I mentally heaved a sigh as he forgot about the recent topic, "He forgave me and we are back to being the normal couple. I even got the ring fixed." He showed me his ring finger and I nodded.

"Okay," I hummed and looked at my untouched glass which was filled to the brim with a yellow liquid.

"You called me for another thing, right?" Namjoon suddenly asked me and I smiled. As expected from hyung to know me really well. I sighed and looked at him as he stared at his empty glass.

"I think I am falling in love with Taehyung," I said and he was startled when I said that.

"But aren't you guys...you know—you both had a fight, right?" I nodded when he said that. I didn't tell anyone about the rejection and so did Taehyung. It was just labelled as a fight and nothing else was told, "Now, you are saying you like him. This is confusing."

"I know. It is for me too," I said to him and sighed, "But I don't know whether he feels the same way or not."

"Okay, to be honest," he finished one last glass before turning towards me, "You guys have the most f**ked up story."

"Hold on, what?!" I said and he sighed.

"Starting what were you guys to one another? Enemies. After that fake boyfriend deal, what did you guys become? Friends. Over time you guys become even more close, then what happened to you? Love. Then when we come back from the camp, what happened? You fought and became strangers. Now you are back after seven years and you both meet, you guys decided to be friends again. And right now, this very instant, you are saying you love him. That's what a f**ked up story sounds like."

"Wow!" that's was all that could come out from my mouth. From enemies to friends to lovers to strangers to friends and now, to a one-sided love. What's next? Happily married couples!

"I am going now," Namjoon got up and looked at his phone, "Jin will kill me if I don't get back home on time."

We said good-byes and watched as he left the bar. I sighed and drunk down the whole thing. I realized that the dumbass hyung didn't even pay for his drink. Without caring much, I paid for both of us and got up to leave.

I went outside and saw the rain pouring down heavily. Holy shit! I ran to my car and immediately got in. I drove back home through the rain which was pouring down really heavily and it looked like it won't stop so soon.

I hope Taehyung is fine.

TAEHYUNG'S POV

The rain was pouring heavily outside. Those heavy rain drops falling form the dark clouds, hit the glass windows making it sound like it was cracking the old glass.

So was my heart getting cracked. Each word I read, it broke my heart even more. That pain which I felt seven years back, could be felt even now. It was raining like this that day, right? I still remember it all. Those long lost memories came back even more fresh. His cries, his tears mixed with the rain and mine too and the painful look he gave me before I left, I could feel them again. 

The tears which I held back managed to free themselves and they raced down my cheek. Drip-drop they fell on the letter, staining it and making my eyes blurry. He must have shed his tears too while writing this letter.

I crumpled down to the floor, crying and crying. My sobs and cries echoed in the room, but it was soon drowned by the heavy raindrops.

Did it hurt a lot, Jungkook? Were you hurting even after that? Even though you knew I like you, why didn't you ask me before? Why did we even wait for three days?

I laid down on the dusty floor and curled myself into a ball, clutching the letter tightly to my chest. My tears stained the floor and I could feel the dust itching my bare skin, but the pain in my chest was way worse than all that.

"WHY?!" I yelled at the top of my voice and punched the floor, "WHY DID YOU MAKE ME DO IT? WHY THE F**K DID YOU MAKE HIM SUFFER? WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT? WHY DID I EVEN F**KING LISTENED TO YOU?"

I wiped away my tears with my dirty sleeves, but they didn't seem to stop. I could feel my hands turn warm as the wounds on the knuckles opened up and the blood flowed out. The aching pain in my chest became even more painful, like a kick to the ribs or maybe a knife to the heart.

But the mere words of a letter pains even more than the black and blues that I had gotten in the past. The words 'I hate you' was even more painful than the insults I had received in the past.

Despite all this pain, there were some parts of his letter which I didn't understand.

What did I say to him when I was drunk?

._._._._._._._._._._._.

So...Taehyung found the red dress and the letter. What's about to come next will be even more painful. *runs and hides under the ground*
