Taehyung was like an old indie record that one would love to rewind over and over again just to catch a glimpse of what life tastes like when you are nothing but a fool who only knows how to love and get hurt but despite all the little indifferences...

it had happened one cold winter evening. He could still remember that day as if it was tattooed by an invisible ink all over his skin.
"I'm tired of hiding in my own shadows." Taehyung had told him with a shaky breath and quivering lips.
the words had felt like a bucket of cold water against bare skin.
"What are you trying to say?" Jeongguk had asked him with knitted brows.
"Don't you get it? I'm sick of hiding this relationship. I can't even hold your hand without people giving us questioning glances. for how long do you think I can bottle up all my emotions before bursting? this is absurd! every time my parents ask me if I'm with someone, I can't even muster up the courage to tell them that I have only ever been attracted to men. The society considers us as a ‘disease’ that can only be cured by falling down on our knees to pray the lord for some mercy. Which you and I both know is not the case. I am so so tired of living like this."
during times like this he wished his lover would have just stayed a dreamer.
but that's the haunting truth about reality.
you have to open your eyes to remember that life is anything but a gentle drop of serein.
"Then what do you want me to do? tell the whole world that I'm in love with another man? because we both know that this is a secret that is whelved down to our being, if someone get's a slight whiff of it, we both won't even have the tranquil moments behind closed doors that we do now."
it was blatant to see that society would point their fingers at them for being different and going against a pattern that people blindly followed for centuries. Jeongguk knew there were others like them who could never show their true selves to the world so they opted for putting on a mask to blend in with the crowd.
"Then maybe I too should pretend to be 'normal'. This relationship has taken a toll on me, there is no future for us, so we might as well become what we truly never wished to be."
and he'd always regret not fighting for his love.
"Then maybe we are just two broken dolls that will lay forgotten under someone's throne."
