🖤💜Redolence Of Yours💜🖤 (Taehyung×OC)

31. Let Me Know

There was a steady high pitched humming sound; the source being unknown whether it was from the outside world or happening inside the brain.

Every living and non living entity around felt uncouth as if it were a different universe. The sense of time was disoriented. Mind was fluctuating between the past and the present or maybe even something that never did or will happen. It was getting impossible to believe that all of these was reality and not what was inside the head. Just one single component and the entire purpose of existence as well as life experience were at question.

This isn't true right? If this isn't, then what is? Is it what the cognitive functions are picking on? Or is it what the mind is feeling? Or has felt all along and refused to consider it real?

The earth was shaking from time to time. Physical sensations ceased to exists and whatever the mind was picking up wasn't trusting enough to decipher what was really happening.

".... Is it? Hey? TAE!"

As if his eardrums bursted open, Taehyung felt his name being called and looked at his right side. It was Jimin.

Is he real?

"Where the hell did you take off? Come on! Let's do the farewell!"

Holding hands with the other three, Taehyung bowed deeply in front of the public audience. The moment his eyes went down, he wanted to stay there forever so that he doesn't have to look up and face the reality; if there was any at all.

Wait a minute. Why is he thinking so much?

He's probably tired and his mind chose to play some tricks taking advantage of the state. A little laughter escaped his throat and the heavy weight suddenly lifted off from his head. Right now, he has a little speech to offer and he needs to focus on that.

But what if..... It's really....

The three of the performers stood up straight from their position and with the smallest roll of his eye, Taehyung checked out the particular spot, only to find no one he knows.

Or used to know.

"Minie..... " He muttered under his breath.

Jimin just hummed in response; not tearing his smile as well as eyes from the crowd.

"After my brothers leave for the honeymoon, take me home will you?"

This time, Jimin turned towards him fully.  "Is everything alright?"

"Yeah. I just.... I'm a little agitated I guess." He hung his head low and tried not to show Jimin the existential crisis he was having right now.

"Of course, teddy. Are you good enough to deliver your speech now?" Jimin put his hand on his shoulder and squeezed to comfort.

"Yeah. I can hear you screaming that in my ear."

Jimin laughed a little and handed him the microphone; him and Jungkook standing on both of his sides.

Taehyung remembered the maknae's compliment regarding his deep voice and how it would be perfect to draw a sweet finish line of the event. He smiled and started speaking. Jimin had made him practice it so many times, that it came to him like a reflex now; although it did little to tarnish the emotions he delivered while uttering those words.

Jin looked the happiest person on earth while leaving. It was an Audi Q8 that Namjoon had wanted for a long time and now, together with his husband, he was going to have the time of his life, in his sweet grey ride. A beautiful piece to compliment the happiness they acquired with each other.
