after 8 years, bts disbanded...
~
"tae?"
"what is it ggukie?", taehyung asks, happily going to his boyfriend who just called him.
bts is still living together but they'll all move out pretty soon. jeongguk always promised tae to move inside a beautiful house with him together. but aren't promises made to be broken?
"i need to talk to you."
taehyung gets a little scared at that, he never liked serious topics. but still he follows jeongguk and they sit down.
"two months ago, my dad introduced me to a woman."
"okay?", taehyung asks, confused about why jeongguk tells him that.
"um... i don't know how to say this... look tae... it would've never worked out.."
taehyung feels his heartbeat going faster and he frowns. he doesn't know yet if jeongguk really means what he thinks he means, but he's about to find out. "what would've never worked out jeongguk?"
taehyung knows the feeling of pain. he knows it too well, because being famous for 8 years isn't easy. but it's a different kind of pain when a person who caused you pure happiness for 8 years, breaks your heart.
"we."
and in this moment it feels like time has stopped. it feels like time is staying still and taehyung's heart just dropped into his stomach, but not without skipping a beat.
"w-we?"
"listen. we never had time to love anyone. anyone but us. maybe... maybe time forced us to fall in love with each other. maybe if we had more time to meet new people we would've never fallen in love."
"f-forced?"
"tae.", jeongguk sighs. "we were never... we were never meant to be."
tae is spacing out. it's like a short summary of all the beautiful moments they experienced in 8 years that is rushing through his head. he sees it. he sees everything.
"s-so.. y-you're breaking up with me?"
"yeah tae, i think- i think i will try it with her."
taehyung belives that this must be the feeling of getting stabbed right into the heart. the pain must be the same. or even worse. taehyung never got stabbed but he wished that he'd have the choice right now. the choice of getting stabbed or hearing the love of your life talking about marrying someone else.
"s-so, you love her?"
"no but maybe i will who knows? she's amazing you know? she's beautiful and a strong woman."
strong.
is taehyung not strong?
he remembers all the times when he was crying in jeongguk's arms. does jeongguk think of him as weakling? as a crybaby?
amazing.
beautiful.
is taehyung not beautiful to jeongguk anymore?
