22. not you

taehyung watched as jimin's eyes grew double in size, his mouth hanging open. "what?!"

taehyung shrugged. "i just... it's like i've met him for the first time again- i see him in a completely different way now. i was confused, ever since that party-

"you know what happened?!" jimin blurted out and taehyung eyed him confused. "yeah, gguk told me everything.."

"wait, wait, wait- he did?!" jimin's shocked expression confused taehyung to the core. "it's not that tragic, i know i'm clingy."

jimin stared at him for a while, then squinted his eyes. taehyung would've never react this way unless jeongguk hadn't tell him the truth. "what did he tell you?"

"i cried and begged him to never leave me and for some reason, i told him to call me babyboy.. why?"

jimin looked down and then back up. "that's all?" taehyung eyed him confused. "all? is there more i should know?" he asked in a demanding voice.

jimin attempted to answer the question when taehyung's phone suddenly rung. pulling the device out, he saw that jeongguk was calling him and picked up. worry brightened in him though as jeongguk asked him to come to the dorms instantly, because he had to tell him something important and just hung up before evaluating what he wants.

"what's wrong?" jimin asked and taehyung still looked at his phone. "ggukie asked me to come to our dorms, because he has to tell me something important. it sounds urgent."

jimin looked at him with a concerned look, heart feeling heavy as he exactly knows what jeongguk is going to tell him. "okay, let's go then."

when the two boys arrived in front of their dorm room, jeongguk was waiting outside of it, scrolling through his phone. he looked up though, once he noticed taehyung and jimin were coming. his heart thudded wildly against his chest when he locked eyes with taehyung and noticed his new hair colour that made him look even more ethereal than it did before. "hey..." he greeted quietly as he hugged taehyung and then jimin.

"so... what's up?" taehyung asked and jeongguk and jimin exchanged a look, before jimin spoke up. "maybe i should leave you alone, if you need me, i'm inside," he said, before opening the door with his keys and entering.

taehyung was beyond confused at the aura that was swimming in the air, something a little suffocating and definitely not right. "tae, let's sit down somewhere and talk," jeongguk offered his hand to the younger male, who hesitantly took it. "you're scaring me."

they began walking. "it's scary. you look beautiful with black."

taehyung blushed, squeaking out a 'thanks'. "but... what you're going to tell me... is it bad, or good?"

jeongguk sighed, when they turned to the left, about to leave through the entrance of the college. "however you want it to be. it actually lies on you..."

taehyung noticed that jeongguk was deeply concerned and serious. "you're really scaring me now, jeon."

"i'm scaring myself, kim." arriving on campus outside, they sat down on a bench next to a big tree.

"so?" taehyung asked, now also feeling nervous. jeongguk hesitantly pulled the letter he had received a week ago out of his jacket pocket and handed it to taehyung, who looked at it with furrowed eyebrows. "what's that?"

"i want you to see it yourself, i don't know how to tell you." that had taehyung just worrying now. he took the letter from jeongguk's hand and skimmed it, eyes growing wide and heart literally beating out of his chest. "th-this.."

jeongguk leaned back. "my real parents died in a car crash.."

taehyung looked at the letter again, "i-i'm so sorry, ggukie.."
