Heavy footsteps made their way down the muddy, dirt road. The male walking could feel his boots almost getting stuck in the mud, the footprints of his shoes imprinting behind him. Though they didn't last long as the heavy pouring rain quickly washed them away.

Silently, the male made his way down the road, soon coming to a halt as his eyes landed on a small shed. The small buildings' old wood panels soaking in the rain, much like the tired male.

Right next to the shed was a large willow tree, a simple swing hanging off of one of its branches. The old swing eerily rocking back and forth in the rain. The male stared at the old swing, letting out a soft breath at the sight. His exhale looked like smoke in the cold air.

The male could feel his soaking, raven black, hair sticking to his forehead. But he didn't have enough energy to brush it back. He reached for his pocket as he pulled out his phone, the device's screen lighting up, showing the current time.

2 am

The male let out another breath, putting his phone away, not caring if he just ruined his phone in the heavy rain, getting water in every crevice of the device.

Looking back to the shed, Jungkook felt his eyebrows furrow. His mind flashing back to memories of that day. The day he lost everything. His everything. Over such a stupid argument, that could have been so avoidable..

Flashback

"Just leave him! It's not hard to do!" the ravenette yelled, frustrated to all hell.

"Jungkook I cant! You don't understand!" The pretty blonde boy yelled back, tears already streaming down his face, his fists clenched at his side. Watching as Jungkook pushed himself, forward, off against the willow tree, getting closer to him.

"Yes, Taehyung! I do! I understand that your, asshole of a, boyfriend is clearly bad for you! And I understand that you're scared! But it's not healthy for you to stay with someone like that!!" Jungkook yelled back, causing the older boy to let out a soft sob, shaking his head at the ravenette.

"N-no, you don't understand Jungkook." he huffed out, his teary eyes staring into the dark ones of his best friend.

"Because if you did, you would be a good friend and let me handle it by myself."

End of flashback

"Fuck!!" The ravenette boy screamed, picking up a rock by his feet and throwing it as hard as he could, the rock hitting the fragile glass window of the shed. The glass panes shattering, falling to the ground, only making Jungkook more upset.

The raven haired, 19 year old couldn't tell if he was crying or if it was just the rain. Either way, the pain in his chest was enough of a sign that he was hurting.

Unable to stand up straight anymore, the weight of his pain pulling him down, the male slumped down, resting his hands on his knees as he stared at the muddy ground. Choking out a sob as his vision got blurry.

The storm of emotions pouring out of the ravenette, caused him to go from almost crying to throwing rocks at the shed again. Picking up any pebble he could get his hands on, launching it angrily at the old shed. His hands soon coated in mud, though he didn't notice as he continued throwing rocks. His energy depleting with every throw.

"J-jungkook..."

The ravenette paused instantly, dropping the stone in his hand, as he heard a faint call of his name. Quickly turning around, catching sight of a soaking wet boy, his blonde hair almost covering his eyes.

Jungkook stood speechless as the male walked towards him silently. Not saying a word as he reached down to the stone Jungkook had dropped. Not saying a word as Jungkook stared at him wide eyed, his chest rising and falling rapidly. Almost disbelieving the sight in front of him.

Silently, the blonde picked up the stone and recoiled his arm backwards. Before taking a small step and throwing the rock at the shed. The rock hitting the shed at full force, breaking the window right next to the one Jungkook had shattered.

After the window broke, Taehyung turned to the stunned Jungkook. As their eyes met, both males could feel the sudden rush of emotion flowing through them. The sparkle in the others' eyes only caused their own glossy eyes to pool more crystal tears.

"Jungkook I'm sorry..." Taehyung whispered, his hands slowly lifting to cup the younger's cheeks, wiping the tears on Jungkook's cheeks.

As Jungkook stared at the blonde, in the close proximity, he finally noticed the soft blue mark on Taehyung's jaw. The ravenette slowly lifted his hand to brush his fingers against the bruise. Not touching the skin, the pads of his fingers hovering right above it.

Jungkook's eyes met Taehyung's teary ones again. "A-are you ok?.." Jungkook whispered, Taehyung could barely hear it.

The older took in a shaky breath as he softly nodded. "I-i'm ok now.. I promise." He spoke, his voice coming out as a broken whisper. Jungkook could only stare at the older boy, until he was finally able to speak again.

"You came back..."

That simple sentence was all Jungkook could say. His words causing more tears to fill Taehyung's eyes as he finally let out a cry, jumping forward as his arms wrapped around the ravenettes' neck.

Taehyung started to cry into Jungkook's chest, hugging him tightly. Jungkook quickly hugged back with the same amount of passion. Crying as his muddy hands stained Taehyung's wet tshirt.

Both sobbed tears of regret. Regret of that day, regret of the unnecessary fight. Regret of not trying to see eachother sooner. Regret of waiting 3 whole months until the anniversary of their friendship to finally meet, unintentionally.

"P-please hold me..." Taehyung whispered into Jungkook's ear. His broken whisper making Jungkook hold him tighter.

"I will... I promise I will.."
