BTS V Oneshots 《COMPILATION》✓

made to last

Silence.

The room that used to fills with laughter now felt into eerie silence. I always feel warm in this house, in this room, with her but now it feels cold. We were sitting in a same room but it feels different. My fingers unconsciously playing with a familiar ring on my ring finger, our beloved engagement ring. I caress it slowly with my head hung low. I feel dizzy, I feel sick.

"Let's give each other a break, Taehyung." I look up at the unfamiliar voice of her. What?

"Are you hearing yourself? A break? Over a small argument like this? We're supposed to get married in few months and you want a break?" I stood up out of frustration, walking to the balcony where she back facing me.

I heard her deep breath before she turns around to face me, her eyes were glossy and red, she was holding her tears and I hate to see it. "We both know it well, Taehyung. It's not just because of this argument. We can't work this out anymor-"

"And why can't we? Just because of me smoking again? I told you I'm sorry and I'll stop it! I'm trying to lessen it for you! Why can't you understand me this time?!!" I cut her off, raising both of my arms and turning around to face the scenery. I can't face her anymore.

"This is what I mean, Taehyung! You don't understand why I'm so upset about this! You don't even understand my point! When will you see that, I'm asking you to stop for your own good? Not for me but for your own health? Did I ever limit you from doing what you like? No. We have our own freedom but not when you keep doing that shit that could risk your health! I love you, I care for you! That's why I want you to stop!!"

"AND I SAID I WILL STOP!" I turn back to her, holding both of her shoulder tightly but just watching her crying her heart out, my hold softens. "Please, don't leave me." I added, I see this coming but I don't want to admit it, I can't even imagine my whole life without her.

"We were perfect for each other, baby. Listen to me, w-when you cook, I do the dishes. When I'm working out late, you would record our favourite show so we can watch them together later. We're good at taking each other issue, you understood me the best. Don't say such a thing for us, p-please. I promise I wil-" I cupped her cheeks but she starts shaking her head before look up to meet my eyes once again.

"Tae, what you said were true but don't you forget about how many times we argue lately? The closer we get to our wedding day, the more we fight against each other. I failed to understand you and we disappointed each other. It's hard to say this shit but I-I think you're the one for s-someone else. I can tell that you feel the same too."

"N-No." at this point, I don't even care if I'm crying too, along with her.

"I know it's hard to leave us in the past but perfect's seems a lot to ask. W-We were meant to be, just not made to last." She was stuttering bad too, but manage to let out the cruellest yet true words between us.

Yes, the relationship was going strong and beautiful at the beginning but as the time passed, the road was rough. We're getting broken part by part because we put too much pressures on each other, keeping up appearances to please everybody else. We're not that strong. The perfect that we always want to show seems too far to be true. I keep reassuring myself that this is what I want, that everything will be better after we get married but I don't think we will even manage to stand on the altar together.

"You're gonna leave me now?"

"I-I need time, for myself and so are you, Taehyung. I don't wanna keep you waiting, it's not as simple as a yes or no. It's complicated b-but I would leave a 5-star review, ten-out-of-ten, recommend you to a friend, if I could-"

"Shut up, can you?" I said after cut her off with a long passionate kiss or maybe our last kiss. "I will wait for you."

"I will too but don't close your heart if you find somebody else."

"We'll see."

3 years later...

It's unbelievable. Three years has passed and everything has changed. Through these years, I finally could see clearly what she has been trying to show me and how toxic our relationship was. The time without her was surely hard but I'm trying to hold onto myself together, to fix and grow myself on my own. I want to be a better man, for my own, or maybe for her, or my future partner. I want to be better and after months of suffering, I slowly but steadily moved on with my own life.

Things started to fall into its places, I could finally draw a smile when I woke up sober in the morning. I stopped dump my ass on the bar every night after work. I take care of myself and satisfied with my growth. I feel better and I hope she's doing well either.

Of course, there are days and nights when I think of her, think of us and missing her. Missing her scent, her smile and her warmth, oh how much I miss her. She's really the best thing that ever happened to me.

Who can tell that now after three years apart with each other, here I am watching her walking with her father by her side to aisle? No fancy dresses, no million dollars of ring, or a grand wedding party like we used to planned for months but a spontaneous yet meaningful ceremony in a pretty little garden. A simple white dress that fits perfectly on her. A small diamond ring finally decorating her ring finger after the vows exchanged.

"Yes, I do." we whisper against each other with the biggest smile on our faces.

We put our shits together, grow up and fix ourselves just so we could be with each other again. Because we deserved each other. Because I'm sure we are made to last.

"I love you Taehyung, thank you for waiting for us to be ready."

"I told you, we'll see, right? We'll see us together hand in hand again, that's what I mean." She chuckles and I peck her lips one more time. "And I love you too, wifey."
