One Sided || Kim Taehyung

Chapter 23

Third Person's POV

When the rest of guys arrived, they were surprised to see Taehyung sitting on the couch giving them a nervous smile and small wave. Hana had to convince Jimin not to walk out while the others greeted Yoongi and gave Taehyung a look of 'you fucked up but glad to see you.' They all sat down and talked it out, Jimin took a while to finally look at Taehyung and curse him out before saying he wasn't mad anymore.

"Honestly, I'm just glad you're not with her anymore." Namjoon drank from his coke can, looking at Taehyung with a bit of a look he couldn't explain but Taehyung knew it meant that he was just acting like the big brother he was.

"I'm still sad, I know I won't get over it anytime soon. But honestly, I thought she didn't love me anymore. I'm not sure which is better, falling out of love or cheating." Taehyung said with a sad smile, it was going to take a while before he was okay again.

"I think whatever it is, it's still painful at the end of the day. There's no worse or better, it's just going to hurt the same." Jungkook grunted as he carried a sack of coal out of the kitchen's storage closet.

"Oh, you found it?" Hoseok stood from the couch to help him, they were planning on eating on the roof, it was free for residents to use as a barbecue place.

"Yeah, it was at the back, covered by rice sack and a bunch of... I don't know." Jungkook gave up trying to explain as he let go of the sack. It wasn't that heavy, but he had wasted his energy on moving the sacks of rice.

"Right, well I guess it's my turn." Namjoon stood up and took the sack from him and started walking towards the front door.

"We'll catch up, make sure to set up." Hana came out of her room, holding her phone in her hand.

"Okay, come on." Hoseok grabbed Taehyung and Jungkook's arms, dragging them towards the front door while both obediently let him do so.

Jimin and Seokjin were in the kitchen trying to make sure they had the utensils for the barbecue while Yoongi took care of the ingredients. Hana helped him and soon they made their way down the hall, into the elevator and up to the roof.

"And then he just puked all over the floor." Seokjin scrunched his nose up as he remembered the night he went drinking with his cousins over the break.

"Not everyone can drink like you, hyung. You're tolerance is the way it is because you had to keep up with Jimin and Jungkook over the years." Hoseok laughed a bit as he drank his beer, they were all sat around a table while Yoongi cooked and Hana assisting him.

"Don't forget about Hana, she's the one you guys had to keep up with." Taehyung laughed with them, it still felt weird being with them after so long but it felt nice. He just wished he could stop drowning in guilt, but he couldn't, not when he constantly felt like Jimin and Hana were going to leave him the way he left them.

They talked as they wait for the food, the sun was setting and purple as well as pink and orange hues painted over the sky. Yoongi tried to help Hana mix the sauce properly while watching the meat not burn as they sizzle on the grill pan.

"So, should we tell them now?" Yoongi asked her quietly as he placed the beef slices on the grill.

"We can tell them later when we can eat." Hana finally finished mixing the sauces and walked over to the table to hand them over. While she was over there, Taehyung stood up and made his way towards Yoongi.

"I'm hungry, they look so good hyung." He commented on the beef Yoongi placed on the plate.

"Yeah well, if you're hungry, I'm starving." The older one muttered under his breath, he still felt weird talking to Taehyung, considering how much he had hurt Hana over the past months. Even though he wasn't really aware about some of her other pain.
