Is this love?

A ghost from the past

I was chatting with my friends during coffee break when someone walked in

"Oh sorry my ba-"

I froze. Pulling my mask down.

"Tae?!" She said equally surprised.

"What the fuck?!"

Jimin POV

I was in the middle of eating my brownie on my cheat day when I got a call from Tae.

"It's an emergency. I need you to come to Lachimolala rn. We need to talk."

"I am in the middle of my brownie V!"

"I just met Rose."

"Bitch I am on my way."

2 minutes later

I dashed into the bar to see Tae sitting there aggressively sipping lemonade as the bartender looked kinda taken aback to see the usually calm and depressed Tae kinda excited.

I sat down beside him.

"What happened? Are you okay? What did she say?"

"I am fine. I think." He said looking at me. If I wasn't mistaken he seemed kinda amused along with super confused and shaken.

"Well uhh you remember I told you about that patient who had very less chances of surviving?"

"Yeah the one you kinda saved."

"Yeah- what no! I just happened to guess the diagnosis right which helped the doctor a little bit. Anyway, apparently that was Rose's aunt. So she dropped in along with her mom to say thank you and i bumped into her then. I guess I finally know why she ignored me all those years ago."

"WHY?!"

"You should order a drink this is a lot to swallow."

"That's what she said."

Flashback

"So you are gonna tell me finally after all these years?"

"It's the least I can do after what I put you through for my own selfish interests. I regretted everything after I left."

I sighed looking at her waiting for her to continue.

"Well you see at that time I had really bad philophobia. I was terrified of getting close to people because I thought I would fall in love with them. But you were so nice I couldn't just push you away. You treated me like your sister and I thought I loved you like a brother too but after our school trip I realized I didn't. Tae.. I was catching feelings for you. Along with my crippling philophobia I also felt like a bitch for feeling that way when you saw me as a sister. I thought our friendship was ruined anyway because of my feelings so I tried to cut you off. It was all my fault. I didn't even bother explaining it to you because I thought you wouldn't understand but I was being so selfish and I have regretted that every single day."

Flashback ends

"Okay WHAT THE FUCK?!" I grabbed the bottle of whiskey and chugged it.

"Bitch that's whiskey. Slow the fuck down! But yeah I can't believe I am saying this but I need therapy." Tae said taking his phone out to text Sung Jae's cousin.

Chat

##########

Hey I am Sung Jae's friend from work. My therapist is out of town and I was told I could contact you in case I needed therapy.
When can I get an appointment?

Hey you can drop by at 6 in the evening tomorrow. Name? For the appointment.

Kim Taehyung.

hat ends

I put my phone away getting up to drive a very drunk Jimin home. Well what can I say my life is full of unwanted surprises.

The next day I drove to the address Sung Jae had given me and knocked on the door. 

The door opened and what I saw shook me. Out of all the things I expected. I could've never been ready for this. I saw him standing there.

Every time I see him. It feels like the first time. I feel confused. It feels like I've known him for years yet he is a complete stranger. I feel like I want to trust him even with reasons not to...

I was speechless for 6 seconds.

"Tae?!"

"Ju.. Jungkook?"

"Was it you who booked the appointment?"

I was frozen as my heart thumped in my chest but I managed to nod my head yes.

"Well uhh come in and sit down." He said opening the door wider.

I silently sat down trying to calm myself down. It didn't work and my anxiety shot up.

"So you came back huh?" I said swallowing my emotions.

"This is my home you know." He said awkwardly.

"Well uhh you came for therapy so let's keep it professional for now. Do you want some water? You look pale. " he suggested looking away.

"Yeah... "

Jimin POV

I was sobbing uncontrollably. I blew my nose, when my phone rang.

"Hello Tae?" I sobbed.

"Jimin? Are you okay?"

"No.. But why did you call?"

"I guess I need you to come to Lachimolala again and by the looks of it you need this too."

"I am coming in 5." I said closing my laptop on which I was watching Itachi's death scene for the 1000th time but still bawling my eyes out.

I walked into the bar and sat down and ordered drinks.

"So what happened?" Tae asked me.

"Itachi died." I said.

"Don't remind me I might actually drink instead of lemonade like every time."

"Yeah but it hurts. Anyway why did you call?"

"Let's just say therapy was a bad idea."

"Was it that bad?"

"Getting therapy from the person who is the cause of your trauma is not exactly the best thing chim."

"Your therapist was Danzou?"

(We get it bro. Itachi for life. Let Tae spill the tea now)

"No. I would probably be in jail for murder right now if that happened."

"Well then who is it?"

"It was Jungkook."

I spat the whiskey out in shock and then grabbed the bottle and chugged it for the second time that week.

"Okay WHAT?!"

"Yeah and I stayed because I have moved on from him and I wanted to prove that to him too but gotta say that was shittiest therapy I ever had. He wanted to keep it professional and I agreed. I didn't tell him a thing though. I just couldn't. Jimin ah. Can I just disappear?"

"Aww no my baby bear. I won't let anyone hurt you." I said hugging him.

And there we were. Just two grownass best friends in a bar hugging while one was drunk and the other depressed.

"You really need to stop chugging alcohol like that." Tae whispered in my ear.

Yes I named the bar Lachimolala. Arrest me for being unoriginal.
