Yoongi noticed the panic in his eyes. He wished he could do something about it but he couldn't. He waited for Taehyung to lash out on him, he waited for the string of abuses to begin but it never happened instead Taehyung's next words surprised him.

"You're lying"

"what?" Yoongi snapped in disbelief not caring about his tone.

"You're lying. You can't do that. Y-you waited outside my house and you were willing to wait inside as well...you.. you're lying aren't you?"

Taehyung asked nervously.

"I don't think someone who helps a stranger like you did would harm anyone"

"You don't know me Tae"

Yoongi waited for Taehyung's response but it never came. He couldn't believe that Taehyung refused to believe his words.

"I did kill him..in some way" Yoongi sighed dejectedly.

"But I- I could do nothing to save him. To protect him..he went through all that for me and all I could do was watch because I wasn't rich. I wasn't loaded with money to keep him safe. And they took him away from me..it's my fault they did that to him in front of my eyes.

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I wish I could save him. I promised but all he said was he loves me. He gave me everything but I couldn't do shit."

Yoongi sobbed head down on the table as Taehyung processed every word.

"I hated his family, I punished them for what they did to him. I hate people who do that. I– but I'll never get over the fact that I killed him..my love."

He kept grumbling. Tae stared at his bowed head with hurt. Whatever he heard made his blood boil. He couldn't believe that one's family could do something like that. But then again he was proven wrong. The one he considered his family had put him through the same situation.

He bit his lip as he placed his hand over Yoongi's head, patting it gently as he tried not to cry. Yoongi lifted his head up revealing his tear stained face to Taehyung who was no different than he was.

"When I saw you, you reminded me of him and then on the balcony. I thought I was with him for a moment. He had the same wound when I first found out what was happening and I couldn't help but feel protective of you."

Taehyung tilted his head, his mouth hung open as if wanting to say something.

"I thought I was witnessing his soul twin when you stood up to his friend. And then Jungkook– he got angry with you. I'm sorry, I'm sorry if you were hurt by him. I'm sorry I couldn't protect you. Please forgive me." Yoongi cried holding both of Taes hands in his own which made Tae to only sob harder.

It wasn't Yoongi's fault. It wasn't his boyfriend's fault that he had to suffer so much. Tae wanted to ask more but he couldn't bring himself to. He didn't want to seem selfish.

"You did nothing wrong," Taehyung said between sobs. He forgot all his worries and troubles and tried his best to comfort Yoongi.

Sometimes comforting others helps oneself and that was what Yoongi and Tae tried.

"Can we leave from here?" Taehyung asked not wanting to sound insensitive or anything. He hated how people were giving them looks and that was the least he wanted to worry about when their hearts were hurting.

"It's late," Yoongi said, checking his watch but Taehyung didn't mind, he didn't think about Jungkook nor about his own feelings. He had to be there for Yoongi right now– especially now.

"You don't have to worry about me," Yoongi said. He hated when people worried about him. Losing one person was enough.

"Let me drop you home at least?" Taehyung offered but Yoongi denied. He had enough thoughts about his lover already. He didn't want to wallow himself completely into it and fall in the same pit again.
