"Look, I get it Jeongguk and im happy for you." Namjoon smiled and tapped the shoulder of the younger.

"Hyung, isn't it clear? I told you a hundred times i dont have feelings for him."Jeongguk wont admit it. He just can't deal with this foreign feeling he has right now.

The two argued about how Jeongguk suddenly acted like he care to Taehyung and his condition because of what jimin said right after they ate at the restaurant. They were on their way home when Namjoon came along and talked to Jeongguk with a mocking yet considerate manner.

"You care for him, as if he was a treasure, you look at him as if he was the most perfect person you ever see. I'll wait for that moment to come, when you can admit it to yourself. And im telling you once it happened you can't stop it." People's way of treatment to another is the reason you can differentiate love and friendship. Yes there is love in friendship but romantically there isn't. The way you interact with the person that is special for you, with the person who you treat as a friend are both different things.

Namjoon stepped back waving as he proceed to his car.

It was 8PM and Taehyung has just finished cooking for Yoongi. He's already used to it, he's happy and thankful for the opportunity Yoongi gave him.

This time things are quite different. Yoongi came home drunk, walking through the corridors of the living room.

"Hyung! careful." Taehyung immediately sneak his arms on Yoongi's shoulders guiding him to walk properly to go to his room. Taehyung thought that he'll just pre-heat the food if Yoongi feel like he's starving.

"Taehyung?.. you know what, im really tired of being myself." Yoongi spoke up, eyes almost half closed.

Taehyung clearly know that Yoongi is drunk talking so he doesn't mind what the older is saying. He continued fixing the blankets and pillows to let the older lay down.

"Jeongguk lost his parents, it wasn't my fault right?.. Do you think its my fault? I didn't do it? Am i the one to blame?? Taehyungaaah answer me.." Yoongi was crying while he sat on his bed.

Taehyung heard Jeongguk's name so eventually he thought to ask what could have happened to Jeongguk before, but he doesn't like the idea of barging to other people's life so might as well just keep his mouth shut.

"Yoongi hyung your just drunk, dont think about it.." Taehyung pat the olders forehead, and tucked him in bed.

"If it wasn't b-because of t-that car crash,
maybe he'll be kind t-to me." And with that Yoongi was completely knocked out. Taehyung was completely shocked of what he just heard. A car crash?

warning: violence and abused, bad language are used too, skip if you want. these were Taehyung's horrible childhood experiences.

Taehyung's Flashback

"Shut up! You didn't even get to sell these strawberries in the market!! how about our bills, our budget?? You are such a dumbass! How many times did i tell you that your father is dead! Im your step dad so you follow what I'll say!" Hee Chul was Taehyung's stepdad. His real father died because of an heart attack, the reason why his mother got remarried again. He was unlucky because at first he thought that this man can treat him the way his deceased father care for him, but he was definitely wrong.

Before Taehyung can answer a loud slap hits his face and a punch land on his stomach. He fell on the floor, blood running through his mouth. Taehyung's mother didn't know that Hee Chul treats his son this way because she was all day on the farm or sometimes on the market, selling random stuffs for their living.

It didn't end with only that because Hee chul picked up a piece of wood, and merciless hit Taehyung's body until he feels numb and realized that he needs to work hard for them. Hee chul threw their plates and glasses. A lot of glass pieces were on the floor, everything looks messy.

"YOU PIECE OF SHIT, GET UP AND CLEAN THIS MESS. DO YOU THINK I CARE ABOUT YOU? CLEAN YOUR WOUNDS AND FIX YOUR SELF IMMEDIATELY. YOUR MOM WILL BE HOME IN ANY MINUTE." Taehyung thought he was done talking not until.

"Listen Taehyung, you wont get beaten like this, unless you do better on your job! You brought it to yourself! You act as if you're rich waiting a food on the table!! Tomorrow make sure all of this strawberries are sold or else I'll fucking kill you i swear."

Taehyung cried and cried, but still get up. He doesn't have any choice, he cleaned up the mess and act as if he was okay, since his mom was about to arrived home.

The poor boy continued to live his life pretending that he's okay.
