SWEET AND SOUR || Kim Taehyung

54 - Melancholy

*Y/N'S POV*

We had all hugged each other good bye, well, those of us who we wouldn't be seeing tomorrow, me, Jungkook, Jimin, Taehyung and Abigail would be at school.

It was a sweet parting for the most part. Everyone seemed to have a genuinely really good time, and I really shouldn't have been as nervous as I was about coming in the first place, Jimin was right, there really was nothing to worry about.

Taehyung had said his goodbyes and was waiting for me in the driver seat of the car as I finished my last hug with Namjoon.

He smiled down at me, "it's been so great, we should all really meet up again some time."

I nodded, "that sounds like a good plan."

It would be obvious for anyone that he was eager to see Anabel again, after all he isn't in school anymore so seeing her everyday isn't in his natural schedule.

I gave him a short wave goodbye as I opened the passenger seat door and hopped in, him sweetly waving back before turning to his own car.

"You ready then?" Taehyung asked, starting the smooth engine of the unfittingly expensive car, surrounded by natural trunks of old trees and flimsy material tents.

"Mhm." I responded, watching as he intently turned the wheel to reverse, his big hands creating a silky sound as his skin brushed over the leather of the wheel.

He pushed his horn a couple times just to say a final goodbye as the rest of them who weren't already in their cars waved.

"Home it is." He spoke flatly. I would understand why he wouldn't want to return, but there are some positives to it all.

"Well, you'll get to see Yeontan again." I gleamed, trying to raise his spirits, "I'll also be there with you so the place won't be empty."

He looked off and smiled, laughing a short breath through his nose. "You're right".

It was sort of disheartening, being driven away from such a wonderful break, a pause of stress.

Most tents were being packed up as we passed them, there were less children running about this morning as well.

It all seemed a little more dreary.

"Do you want some music?" I smiled.

He looked at me suspiciously, "depends, maybe your taste is shit."

I dropped my jaw, stunned. "Well how bout you shut it and listed before you make such a big judgement."

He laughed amused, waiting at the exit of the camp site which lead onto a country road, not too busy, but he still had to wait a little while before managing to slide into the traffic behind a little silver Kia.

I rummaged around for my phone before Tae handed me his, a white chord attached to it.

"Here, just play them from mine, it's already plugged to the aux."

I took it from his hands gently, opening it up and looking for his music app.

"Ah" I smiled, typing in the name 'Bon Iver' to his search bar.

"I think you'll like this guy." I gleamed after tapping 'Holocene' and hearing the intro play.

Taehyung and me sat in silence for a minute or so just to ease into the music and sort out our thoughts.

This sort of music would be my definition of perfection.

It pulls you into the familiar sense of being alone, but the kind of loneliness that consoles you. It's something that digs right through your chest.
