Hey guys! This is my first time ever publishing my work so please give me your feedback 🩷
Lmk your thoughts in the comments and I'll see if I'll continue this or not, enjoy for now ⭐
Seokjin
Taehyung-ah! *yelled angrily from across the room with his face flushed crimson*
But what nobody could tell was that he was mad at his younger brother. Because it was a sight nobody had ever imagined, let alone seen...
Taehyung
*Calmly turned around to face him, hands tucked firmly into his pant pockets with his usual emotionless and frozen expression.*
Seokjin
Father has made his decision. You are nobody to defy his orders or defame our prestige like this.
Taehyung
Oh, really? *scoffed under his breath, head tilting sideways in cold amusement.*
His tone was curt, his eyes narrow with frustration and something else simmering beneath the surface.
Taehyung
What, huh? What? What do you think you're doing by constantly yelling and nagging at me like this?
Taehyung
Do you really not see it, or are you gonna pretend to be heartless like the rest of them?
Seokjin
Shut up, Taehyung... *murmured under his breath, hands clenching into tight fists.*
Taehyung
No, no, no. I'll speak today and you will listen. Because all these years, Father and you have been throwing orders around and I've not spoken a word.
Taehyung
Let me speak today so you can hear. So you can see. So you can... feel that whatever you're doing is... wrong.
There was fire in Taehyung's tone but it grew dimmer, a flicker of hurt crossing his expression. His steely gaze remained locked with Seokjin's, resolute and determined.
Seokjin was taken aback by the sudden change in his brother's demeanor. In all their lives, Taehyung had never once spoken to him like that.
But Seokjin didn't blame him. He knew this wasn't just about a man; it was years of built up frustration, bursting open like a dam right now.
Taehyung
You think this is easy for me? All this, don't you see how trapped I am? In front of me is a cliff and behind me is a well. What step do I take, where do I go, whom should I seek; these questions keep me up at night.
Taehyung
Father expects me to listen to him. But I have a heart too, don't I? My heart says otherwise. Why? Because someone made it speak for itself for the first time...
Silence spread in the room, the air growing thicker and suffocating.
The two brothers stood face-to-face, both drowning in their own feelings of anguish, desperation and a sense of defeat.
Seokjin stood quiet, his frame rigid with tension. His gaze held Taehyung's steadily but it wavered for a split second.
Taehyung
*Takes a step closer, voice low but firm* And why don't you understand me for a second? You've been here too. Your feelings and desires, you felt them too.
Seokjin's gaze narrowed at his brother, not with anger but with something else entirely, his nails digging into the skin of his palms.
Taehyung
For Namjoon Hyung. Then why am I wrong for listening to mine? *whispered hoarsely*
He listened quietly to Taehyung's words, heart slowly tearing into small pieces as he realized how blind he's been all this time, how ignorant he's been and-
Taehyung
Going through it all, I just had a hope inside me that if anything, I will always have you beside me. But I was wrong.
Taehyung's harsh words and tone pierced through Seokjin's heart, who saw nothing but emptiness in the younger's eyes.
Seokjin
Taehyung-ah... *muttered weakly, words catching in his throat as he remained frozen in place.*
Taehyung
You've been blinded. Namjoon Hyung's been blinded. But I won't be *uttered resolutely under his breath.*
Taehyung
And I'm not ashamed or guilty to say that I have a heart... which feels. Unlike you all.
Once again, heavy silence weighed down on them both. Both brothers felt tremendous things all at once but surely their feelings were very different from each other's.
Seokjin's irritation was melting away, giving way to his concern for the younger. And right now, he just wanted to understand what was going through Taehyung's mind right now which was making him say all that.
Whereas Taehyung only wanted to say whatever he was feeling, let out his pent-up agitation of years.
Not even bothered, about how harsh his words might come across.
Because he was tired of pretending he didn't feel anything. Like he hadn't gone and fallen in love with those beautiful eyes.
Like Jeon Jungkook was just a fleeting presence in the chaos of his world...
Against His Will.

Taehyung
And I won't stop this time, Hyung. I've had enough, I won't let anybody play with my feelings anymore.
Taehyung
After being abandoned... and lonely for half of my life, I've finally found someone changing all that for me. *voice cracking at the end*
The words hit Seokjin like a freight train, words stuck in his throat as he couldn't do anything but stand there.
Taehyung
*Inhales sharply, eyes darkening as he turned around* I won't let anyone step in between that. I won't lose a person to close to me again.
He walked past Seokjin and was about to step out the door but the next words stopped him in his tracks.
Seokjin
What about him? Did you think about him even once? *bitterly chuckled*
Taehyung
*Turned back to look at him with a confused frown* Who?
Namjoon
Open the door, Taehyung. *sighed heavily while knocking on the wooden door*
Namjoon
Everyone's waiting for you down there, you have to show up.
Namjoon was trying his best to persuade Taehyung, who had locked himself in his bedroom since the last 2 days.
He hadn't even spoken a word to his own family for a whole week.
Seokjin
Is he out yet? *approaching Namjoon with an equally worried but strict expression*
Namjoon
No progress. *shrugged lightly with an exhausted sigh*
Namjoon reached out to place a comforting hand on his husband's shoulder, a gesture of comfort and reassurance.
Namjoon
Don't stress too much, I'm-
His words got cut off as the door of Taehyung's bedroom opened and his tall figure appeared behind it.
Taehyung's eyes remained piercing and ice cold, hands clenched into tight fists, veins popping out from beneath his skin.
Taehyung
I am not going anywhere. *firmly declared with a low voice*
Seokjin
Is this funny to you? Quit the games, Kim. All the guests are here already, you can't back away now! *scolded sharply*
Seokjin
Stop behaving like a child and come with us now.
Namjoon reached out to hold Seokjin's hand, giving a silent squeeze, telling him to step down a notch.
They didn't need matters spiraling any further than this. Things were already a mess.
However, Taehyung's eyes only darkened further.
Taehyung
Absolutely not, none of this is funny. Not to me, at least.
Taehyung
*Takes a step closer, fists clenching tighter* I won't get engaged to him. And nobody has the right to force me-
He stopped abruptly as the sound of footsteps coming down the hall approached them.
All of them froze up for a second at the sight of Mr. Kim.
He approached them, hands tied behind his back, his quiet demeanour speaking volumes about his mood.
Mr. Kim
Get changed and come down before that. *said calmly to Taehyung and turning around to leave.*
Taehyung stood there silently for a long moment before retreating back into his bedroom with heavy footsteps.
The couple watched mutely as Taehyung took out his clothes from the closest and disappeared into the bathroom. To change.
Orders were orders. Even if they tore a person apart, it didn't matter sometimes.
Because not everyone had the power to stand up for themselves...
Those Beautiful Eyes.

The Kim Mansion was decorated expensively for the grand engagement ceremony.
White flowers in crystal vases, golden ribbons hanging beautifully across the ceilings, scent of something bittersweet in the air.
Guests had arrived in large numbers; business associates and most famous faces from the higher community of the city.
Taehyung and Jimin stood beneath the soft gold arch, hand-in-hand. Years of familiarity and closeness suddenly felt... non-existent.
Mr. Kim
Let's begin. *he murmured to Taehyung with a small smile, placing a hand on his back*
Taehyung
*Broke out of his train of thoughts before turning towards Jimin and paused for a moment.*
Taehyung's eyes were unreadable but his heart pounded in his ears. He didn't want this.
He loved Jimin, yes but only as a best friend. They were soulmates but platonically. They weren't supposed to get engaged...
Seokjin
Taehyung-ah *spoke quietly from the side, noticing his brother's hesitation*
The guests watched quietly, a wave of confusion washing across the room. Then the whispers started. About how the youngest Kim was so reluctant.
Mr. Kim
*Hand tightened around Taehyung's shoulder as he forced another fake smile* Go on... Exchange rings.
Jimin
*Inhales a slow breath, extending his hand towards Taehyung with an expectant look in his eyes*
Taehyung
*His gaze fell down for a moment before in a flash, he picked up the diamond ring glistening in the dim lighting before sliding it into Jimin's ring finger*
Loud applaud and cheers spread through the mansion from the guests, as they watched the two with wide smiles. Obviously fake.
Jimin's lips curled slightly for a moment as he proceeded as well, sliding the ring effortlessly into Taehyung's finger.
Taehyung's head was beginning to reel from the amount of thoughts rushing through it as he took a step back, his gaze raking through the sea of faces in front of them.
At the first table on his right, his gaze locked onto someone's.
Someone so... beautiful, so gorgeous and so breathtaking. Just the glimpse of his eyes alone was enough to captivate Taehyung.
The world seemed to stop for a moment, time seemed to stand still as Taehyung found himself getting lost into those two eyes.
Never had he ever been so intrigued by something before...
Mrs. Park
Congratulations, you both~ *chirped happily as she approached the two with a wide smile*
Taehyung
*Gaze snapped towards her as he forced a non-visible smile* Thank you.
Jimin
*Flush crawling up his eyes as a shy smile tugged at the corners of his lips*
Jimin didn't know exactly what he felt for Taehyung. But he did feel something. So when the matter of this engagement came up, he agreed.
Because he trusted Taehyung. And found himself happy by his side. That's all he could need in a partner, right?
Namjoon
Many congratulations to you both *chuckled softly as he pulled both Taehyung and Jimin into a side-hug*
But Taehyung's focus drifted away to find those eyes again. But they were gone. The man was gone.
He felt a pang of disappointment...
Mr. Kim
Taehyung *his voice broke out quietly from behind them, catching everyone's attention*
Mr. Kim
Introduce yourself to some of my acquaintances *he said, gesturing to the men standing beside him*
A middle-aged man among them stepped forward and a hand towards Taehyung with a steely expression.
Mr. Jeon
Jeon Jaejoong. *he introduced curtly*
Taehyung
*Nodding as he lightly shook his hand* It's a pleasure to meet you.
He had heard that name before. A new business partner of Mr. Kim who had recently started working on a project together.
Mr. Jeon
*Stepped back with narrowed eyes, head turning to the other two as he motioned them to greet*
Taehyung followed his gaze until his eyes landed onto those two beautiful ones he had seen before.
He felt his breath catching in his throat. This time, he could see them closely and clearly. Right in front of him.
He could even see his face properly. And it was... ethereal, to say the least.
