Your POV

After everything Taehyung told me, I felt broken, shattered. He sworn me not to tell anyone about this.
I had no idea what to say anymore, it was so shocking to hear.
After our tough conversation we didn't say much. We just hurried upstairs to inform Jack about me moving out before he falls asleep.

"NOOOO!" Jack responded after we told him, yelling and clutching at my sweater. He didn't want me to leave.
"Jacky... I'll come to visit. I'm not gone forever" I said, trying to calm the little boy.
"But I don't want you to go..." He started crying now, making me feel as if someone just crushed my heart.
"Don't cry..." I said and hugged him, I'll definitely miss seeing him everyday.
"Jack, y/n said she'll come to visit! And I will bring you your new toys tomorrow, okay?" Taehyung calmed Jack as well, there was a weird vibe between me and him.
After Taehyung told me, I couldn't look him in the eye.
"O-okay..." Jack answered Taehyung as I wiped his tears.

I kissed Jack's forehead softly and said goodbye.
I was on my way back to my apartment, leaving them together.
When I got into my apartment, I laid in bed, feeling the emptiness inside me.
Here the tears fell down, one after another, without stopping.
All of these years, I lived wondering what is going on with Taehyung, where he is, how he is, if he is okay...
And now I know he never meant to leave in the first place.
And to think that we could've still been together if it weren't for all of this mess Cha-woon caused...
Taehyung was here all along to keep me safe, he was my protector.
My feelings are driving me insane right now, and I know that he'll probably never feel the same, he has Chloe...
But I can't stop loving him. He leaves my heart in shattered disarray of pieces. Every single time he steals a part of me, he makes it impossible for me to put myself together. And yet, I always come back around to him. Why is that? i feel so connected to him that I just can't let go.
But maybe letting go is the only option...
Even after good things happened, why do I still feel unhappy?
I mean, everything works well in the workshop, I finally got myself an apartment and started living my own, independent life. But still... I don't feel happy. Like something is missing, or to be more specific, someone...

I called Jin after laying on bed without doing anything for a while.
I had to tell him how I feel about Taehyung and pour out my thoughts.
He answered, and we both decided to meet up near his father's restaurant.
As I got there, I saw him standing outside the restaurant with a bag.
"Hey" I said and hugged him softly.
"I grabbed some food from the restaurant for us to eat" He said and smiled, both of us searching for an open place to sit and eat in.
We eventually sat at the park, and started eating.
"What did you want to meet for?"
He asked curiously as we both ate.
"I... I gotta confess something" I said and looked down, it's my first time confessing about my feelings for Taehyung to anyone after all this time.
"What is it?" Jin asked curiously and frowned.
"It's just that I... I feel like... I'm starting to grow feeling back to Taehyung" I finally said it, but it didn't really seem like Jin was surprised.
"I already kinda knew that" Jin responded, I felt so confused.
"What? Since when?" I asked and looked at him.
"Since pretty much always. Just saw the connection you two have, even after what he did to you it's like you never got tired of him... the way you look at him, and the way he looks at you..." He said but I stopped him in the middle.

"Maybe I was too obvious, I don't know. But you can pass the 'the way he looks at you' part, because he's getting married to another woman in two days." I said, he could tell I was broken.
"And how do you feel about it?" He asked while resting his hand on my shoulder.
"How do you think I'm feeling?" I said, the tears filled my eyes again.
Jin hugged me tight and comforted me.
"And since we're into confessing things right now..." He suddenly said as we both pulled away.
"Ella and I... we are together" He said, and honestly I was so shocked.
"And you don't seem really happy about it I guess..." he then said after seeing my reaction.
"O-oh well... I wasn't really expecting to hear this. I just don't like her" I said without thinking twice, I didn't know that what I said it would hurt Seokjin.
"Well I don't like Taehyung either and it didn't seem like you cared, zip it" He said angrily, I guess i wasn't clever with my choice of words.
"Jin... I didn't mean to-" I said but he interrupted in the middle.
"You're just never happy for me, aren't you?" He said and looked away.
"Jin of course I am-" I barely started talking and he already cut my sentence again.

"You never are. You never notice the little, obvious things. You just take more and more from me. And for you, more is never enough. You can take me, you can take my heart, you can take the hearts of millions and it would never be enough for you except for that little man you can't let go of who left you ten years ago." He yelled angrily, the only thing that I thought at that moment was "what the fuck is happening."
"Jin it's... it's not like you saw me more than your best friend... right?" I asked and frowned, I could see he was trying not to cry so hard.
"You see, that's the problem with you. You never notice the most obvious things" He said and suddenly got up, he meant to leave.
"Jin, wait!" I shouted as he started walking away.
"Y/n, please... not now." He turned around before I could even reach him, leaving me speechless.

I got back home, feeling worse.
It didn't even occur to me that Jin would feel that was towards me.
We both agreed to not let the one night stands affect us, but I guess you can't control your feelings at the end of the day.
I cried myself to sleep, not being able to stop thinking about everything.
I'm losing my closest friends, I hate feeling like everything is my fault.

Taehyung's POV

When y/n left, I felt worried.
On one hand I didn't want her to live in fear, not knowing what going to happen next, but on the other hand I felt relieved telling her everything. She deserved to know the truth.

After Jack finally fall asleep, I was on my way back to bed with Chloe.
That was when I suddenly heard knocks on the door.
"Who's knocking on the door at this hour?" I thought to myself as I came to open it.
And surprisingly, Jang-mi came back.
"Jang-mi... what are you doing here" I said and rubbed my eyes, I was tired.
"Call me 'mom' please... I'm here to start a new path with you" She said, but I refused to call her that way simply because she's never really was my mom.
"What do you want?" I said while rushing her, I really just wanted to go to sleep.
"I... need a little more money for food... these winter days are so harsh sometimes..." She said and I sighed while noticing her red eyes, but I didn't give it much attention.
"Well I can get you something from the kitchen" I said and was about to walk back inside to bring her something to eat, but she stopped me.

"No! I... I need the money please... because umm I  actually need to buy a coat for myself... I've lost my old one and I don't have money to buy another one, I just didn't want to sound irresponsible" She changed excuses, I was so tired for that shit.
"Just take the money and leave" I said as I pulled out my wallet and gave her a few more dollars without thinking much. I just wanted to throw myself on bed.
"Thank you so much son..." She said and grabbed my hand to kiss it, everything was so strange.
I closed the door rapidly and walked to my bedroom.
"I heard you were talking to someone, who came here this late?" Chloe asked me as I got under the blanket with her.
"No one, just the neighbors" I said and closed my eyes.
"What did they want?" Chloe kept asking, but I was too tired for it to answer.
I fell asleep in seconds, I didn't want to think about anything at that moment.

Author's POV

It had already been two days, it was the day of the wedding.
Taehyung was getting prepared for the wedding, but mostly Chloe.
These days were super stressing for them, and Chloe didn't pay much attention to Jack because of it.

Taehyung himself tried to be with Jack, but his schedule was really tough which was making it harder for him.
Jack was playing around with his toys and was walking around in the house that morning, trying to pass the time.
He got into Taehyung's and Chloe's room, searching for something else to do.
He got on there bed when he suddenly noticed a phone.
Without thinking twice he grabbed it, and started scrolling through it without really knowing what he was doing.
He accidentally tapped on the phone contacts, noticing your name 'y/n' appearing there.
And again- he just tapped on your name innocently without knowing, and called you.

Your POV

The morning came, and I knew exactly what day it was. I couldn't stop the tears from falling no matter how hard I tried to.
As I got up from bed, I suddenly got a call from Taehyung. I was so confused at first, but eventually picked up the call.
"Tae...?" I asked, but the only thing I heard was breaths.
"Y/n?" I recognized Jack's voice immediately, what was he doing on Taehyung's phone?
"How are you?" I asked him, wondering why he called.

"Heyyyyy" he yelled into the phone, I giggled slightly.
"Can I ask you something?" He suddenly said.
"Yes of course" I responded with a soft voice.
"But you can't tell anyone!" He then said, making me smile.
"Okay, I won't tell anyone" I answered.
"What is... f-fucked...?"
