Promise

18

The stars on the sky were shining bright. It was the time for carols and joy. But I couldn't feel any of them. Taehyung was acting a bit distant. It was christmas eve today. I was busy decorating the house but he was nowhere to be seen. It was kinda weird. The one year we dated and celebrated christmas together before he ran away for four years, he was so excited for christmas. He was jumping up and down like a ping pong ball. I smiled at the memories. What good and jolly days were those! I was almost done decorating when Tehyung threw the door open.
"Taehyung Ah! Where were yo..." I looked at him and my smile disappeared. His eyes were puffy and read, his cheeks were cold and pale, his nose was running and he was shivering. I ran to him,
"Are you okay? Oh god! Taehyung! What happened?"
He pushed me away from him and moved a step away from me. He faced away from me, towards the christmas tree,
"Why do you even care?"
"Why shouldn't I Taehyung?  I mean I love you..."
Taehyung started laughing like a maniac. His eyes were filled with tears,
"You love me? I thought you said that to Namjoon Hyung."
That was the moment that I knew that I fucking messed up. I ran to him and caressed his biceps,
"I-it's not wh-what you think! I-I can explain Taehyung!"
"Can you? You kept hiding it from me, you kept deleting the messages and what I saw was 'I love you Namjoon Oppa!' and he responded with 'Love you too!' if it is not what it seems like then what is it? Weren't you hiding and texting him?"
My voice broke,
"Ye-yes, I d-did!"
"Didn't he refer to you as his expensive girl?"
"Ye-Yes, b-but Tae h-he wa-was joking."
Taehyung smirked,
"Was he? London, he has had a crush on you since school. But he friendzoned you because I begged him to. But now I regret begging him to friendzone you, cause you are better off with him. Atleast if I didn't tell him to friendzone you, then you wouldn't have became my girlfriend just to cheat on my Hyung behind my back!" He shrugged his arms away from me. I couldn't take it, my knees couldn't hold my weight, I fell on the cold ground. I was in tears. I felt that my heart had stopped beating. I knew how hard I failed.
-------------Taehyung's POV---------------
I walked out of the house, with my  heart shattered into thousands of pieces. Why did she have to cheat on me? I truly loved her. Ever since I saw her, I knew what love was. I made myself so vulnerable to her, but in exchange she broke my heart. I felt as if everything was pitying me. I need to distract my mind from her and Namjoon. My feet took me to a place that I didn't want to go. I called some of my hyungs, I really needed to tell my heart out to someone.
---------Back To London's POV---------
I don't know for how much I was lying on the cold ground, drowning in tears. My head was hurting, my phone rang making my headache worse. I picked it up, expecting Taehyung on the other line. Instead it was his Hyung, Do Ji-han,
"Am I speaking to London?"
"Ye-Yes, wh-who a-a-are you?"
"I'm Taehyung's friend, Do Ji-Han..."
"Please tell me he is all right!"
"He is kinda alright. I mean he is completely drunk. I think..."
"Can you send me his location please? I am coming to take him home."
I jumped back to my feet. Do Ji-Han's voice changed a bit,
"I-I'm not sure if he..." he couldn't finish his sentence. A huge commotion was heard. Taehyung was screaming. That's the last thing I heard on the call.

"Leave me Hyung! I don't deserve this pain! It hurts me so much. It makes it hard to breathe. How could she?" Taehyung sat down pulling his hair. Hot tears trailed down his cheeks. His Bangtan Hyungs were not with him. Choi Minho patted his back,
"Taehyung, are you sure your doll did that? Everytime you talked about her, it didn't seem like she didn't love you."
"I saw how she hid it from me! I saw how they shared 'Love you's with each other! She is just a slow poison for my heart!" Taehyung screamed in frustation. He was quite drunk, but a person talks his mind honestly when they are either in love or are drunk.
"That's what I am to you Tae? Just a slow poison?" I couldn't hold my sobs back. The one that I love thinks I'm a slow poison? Taehyung was dead silent, he looked at me with disbelief.
"London, he didn't mean it. He is drunk." His Hyung, Park Hyung-sik, said as he rushed to comfort me.
"Her tears are just an act to melt my heart, right? They can't be real! She doesn't love me!" Taehyung said before he passed out in Park Seo-Joon's arms. I was sobbing, I was hurt and heartbroken. But seeing him in this condition made me worse. I rubbed my tears and went close to him, still shaking uncontrollably,
"You really are my reason to breathe, yet you also make me breathless." I looked towards his Hyungs and bowed to them,
"Thank you for informing me. I think I should drive him home."
"Are you sure about that London?" Seo-Joon said as he looked upon Taehyung's passed out self.
"Yes Oppa." I bowed to them again. They helped me to get Taehyung on the car, and I started  driving. I tried not to tear up, but still my vision started getting blurrier.
"London." I pressed on the brakes hard. Taehyung was mumbling my name. His breathing was hitched. It was a rather quite area. I leaned towards Taehyung, he was mumbling, almost crying. But what he said left me questioning myself.
