Chapter Four

...Past Timeline...

"I hate it!" the scream throwing his book across his dorm room. Jimin, who was sitting on the couch chewing on his ramen, sighs at his best friend's dramatic meltdown for the hundred time.

"Tae you trashing our room isn't gonna help you with Jungkook," Jimin says learning a glare from Taehyung who was picking up the frame from the countertop.

"Don't you dare Kim Taehyung!" Jimin yells, putting down the bowl and points at Taehyung. Taehyung frowns at the sudden outburst and brings the frame to see it was a picture of the Yoonmin couple.

"Sorry! I-I just don't understand why can't Jungkook ever talk nice! All I do is love and care, is it too much to once look at the person loving you without being an asshole" Taehyung wanted to scream, cry but he couldn't because it was useless trust him he was doing it.

"I mean I can't blame him too, you and I both know that he loves Ji-Eun more than anyone and she was there before you. Same for her Ji-Eun thinks the world of Jungkook. You can't just expect him to fall for you like that" Jimin says even though he hates that he has to be the one saying it.

"I know that but I can't stop not loving him too! I try to be understanding. I try giving up on my hopeless love but if this heart can't stop loving him what else can I do!" Taehyung shouts with a tearful eye.

"Tell me Minnie" Taehyung walks closer to his friend holding onto his soft hands "please tell me how do I stop! How do I stop loving the only person who I ever learn to love? How do I make my stupid heart understand that the person it beats for won't ever love me back? The feeling I feel can't ever be returned! How do I stop this madness?" He breaks in front of his friend who feels helpless watching his friend like this.

"Tae" Jimin places hands on either side of Taehyung's face, wiping them away. "Don't do this to yourself Tae, it will only hurt you more. We can never stop what we feel for someone even if that person is out of our reach" Jimin brings him into his embrace.

"You are very lucky Minnie, the person you loved loves you back" Taehyung whispered.

"I am and you will too have someone who will only love you" Jimin pats his back in a comforting way.

The sun was up high, shining brighter than ever as the flowers in the shop were blooming beautifully. Taehyung had the most gorgeous smile sitting around them gently replacing the dying flowers.

"Tae please bring the roses back inside" Taehyung who heard his mother calling decided not to listen as he didn't feel like doing anything other than to stare at the purple lavender.

"Tae," his mother said in a warning tone but he decided to mess with her and not answer.

"Kim Taehyung" an angry-looking woman walks out of the small room in the shop holding the end of a broomstick.

"Did you not hear me!" she glares at her son who gives her a playful smile. "I did but didn't feel like answering," Taehyung said even though he knows he won't be alive for long.

And his theory was proven when his mother ran towards him with the stick "oh really! I listen to all your bullshit every day without company and you bert here ignoring me" she yells chasing Taehyung who was running away holding laughter.

Just when his mother was about to attack him the shop jingling bell announces a visitor. An older man in a fancy suit walks in with a generous smile on his face. "Did I walk in at the wrong time?" the older man asked, looking at the mother who was holding the boy by the ear.

"No no, absolutely not please come in," Taehyung says freeing himself from his mother's grip and walks towards the man. Taehyung's eyes widen when getting a clear view of the man....Jungkook's father.

"Mr. Jeon, your order of flowers is ready please come in," his mother says making Tae turn to her. "You know him?" he mouthed in whispers but his mother shoos him away.

"Ah Thank you so much! You gonna save my life or I will be head once getting home" he says making her laugh. Happy to help" she says going inside the room and brings out a pretty bouquet of white roses.

"You forget your anniversary again, don't you? '' she teases, making him embrace. "I guess old age is finally catching on," he says, making her laugh.

"And thank you for this ' he gives her the money but she doesn't take it "no it's okay no need to pay," she says, making Taehyung shocked.

Look he loves his mother, she is the best person out there but he also knows that even when it comes to money his mother breaks sweats. His mother and money are best friends, never apart so to see her not take money from Jungkook's father is shocking to him

"I can't do that, you helped me so much in a short time so please don't refuse it," Jungkook father says but his mother wasn't having it.

"Take it as a gift for your anniversary for your wife" she pleaded to which he gave a wide smile. "Thank you so much for it, I remember it. Oh I forgot I also want to place another order" he says and she nods.

"Tae comes to write it down" she calls her son who walks behind the counter and stands next to her. "And who is this beautiful boy?" He asked to make Taehyung's cheeks flush.

"This is my son Taehyung," she proudly introduces him. Taehyung smiles while bowing to the man "you have such a pretty son Yoona, he takes after you" he says making them smile.

"I have a son too, Jungkook your age," he says. I know because I stalk- Taehyung stops his thoughts.

"The other is for the hall where the party is going to be held. Jungkook said that we had to celebrate so I have the decorates flower from here" he says.

"We love to help," Taehyung replies. After giving the order Mr. Jeon says goodbye and walks out of the shop.

"How do you know Mr. Jeon?" Taehyung turns to his mother and asks. Before she would say anything the door opens again and this time Jimin with Yoongi walks in as another man follows behind.

"Minnie!"

"Tae!"

The two friends dramatically run towards each other as if they have seen each other after many years. "Aish these two" Taehyung mother sighs at the two.

"Hey, Eomma" Yoongi says walks towards his mother.

"Don't hey me where have you been all morning?" she slaps his arms away from her.

"I told you I went to receive my friend" Yoongi pointed at the man who was looking at Taehyung and Jimin.

"Eomma met my friend Jung Hoseok. He was in China for a couple of years" he says, introducing the man who smiles and bows at her.

"Nice to meet you," Hoseok says with a bright smile as his eyes travel back at the two friends more towards the boy with a boxy grin.

"And Hoseok, my little brother Taehyung," Yoongi says looking towards Taehyung who walks to his brother.

"Nice to meet you Hyung, I hope you don't mind me calling you that since you are Yoongi Hyung's friend," Taehyung says, forwarding his hand towards Hoseok.

"You can call me whatever you like, Yoongi, you never told me you had such a beautiful brother," Hoseok says smirking at Taehyung who was blushing.

"Don't even think about it," Yoongi warns, making them all laugh.

"Eomma, you didn't answer my question, how do you know Mr. Jeon?" Taehyung asks again, looking at the woman who sighs at him.

"We went to the same high school" she simply says.
