TaeJin Short Stories

The One that Got Away

(A short story that kinda really sucks. I attached the MV I got the idea for this story.)
................................................

Kim Taehyung parks his car at the edge of the road and walks towards the makeshift memorial.

It is littered with tons of prayers and dead flowers. The granite stone he had erected with his lovers photo is smeared with lipstick and has faded ribbons attached.

He rips them all off and uses his handkerchief to wipe it clean. Then lays the large bouquet of flowers he brought at the base of the stone. He loves this particular photo of his beloved and is happy how it turned out.

It's been so long since he has been here, for the obvious reasons. But lately, he has had the need to be here. At the awful place that his beloved took his last breath.

He walks over to the guardrail that keeps people from falling over and down the steep mountain. That too is filled with tons of mementos that people have left to show their love for his greatest love.

He then feels a gentle wind and swears he can feel a soft kiss on his lips. And he can't hold it in any longer.

He screams out loud until his lungs ache and he stumbles to the ground. Rage and regret fills his soul to the point of madness. How he's still breathing is a miracle.

"I'm so sorry baby, please.. please forgive me."

Years earlier

Kim Taehyung has heard the whispers all morning about the new student who just arrived that morning. Everyone has said the same thing, that his beauty is unimaginable. And is so nice and kind to everyone.

He hasn't thought too much about it since he is known for his stunning looks in that school as well.

But no amount of whispers could prepare him for the most perfect, breathtaking angel that the heavens created.

He sat at his desk and looked up when the classroom door opened. And in walked the young man who would change his life forever.

He spoke with the teacher and was asked to introduce himself to the class. That was the first time he heard him speak and found out his name was Kim Seokjin. Tae could tell that he was extremely shy by how red his face was while he spoke, and couldn't really look at anyone in the eyes.

The teacher looked around the class and saw the desk next to Tae was empty. So he pointed it out to him and told him to go sit down in it.

Tae's heart started beating faster the closer he got to him. He then saw him look at him and smile before sitting down.

Tae could only stare at him and was already memorizing everything about him so he could immortalize him in one of his paintings. He will be a stunning model.

"Taehyung-ah, do you know the answer?" The teacher asks.

Tae then feels everyone's eyes on him, even the new student and though he doesn't usually fluster so easily. He was a little embarrassed that he was caught staring.

"Oh, uh.... N-not at the moment sir." He replies.

Everyone finally looks away when the teacher then asks another student. He takes a quick glance at the new student and sees him looking at him. He then smiles at him, which makes Tae automatically smile right back at him.

Throughout the entire class, they would constantly eye each other nervously. And when the bell rang, Tae went over to introduce himself and asked him what his next class was.
