Once the shoot was done,the set plunged into silence.The festa dinner shoot was overwhelming than they had anticipated and Taehyung wasn't immune to the palpable emotions that filled the atmosphere.It was easy to say something and everyone would dissolve into more tears in mere seconds.Everyone were removing their mics and Jungkook was dabbing a wet tissue against his eyes a bit too agressively.Goodbyes were shared and although they do have a group schedule for kbs recording only two days after, in light of whatever had been said in between and how heartbroken they had been,it really did feel like a goodbye for a while.So Taehyung wanted to go home as soon as he could,away from the place where he felt vulnerable to breaking down.

Yes, Taehyung would have left home if not for Jimin reaching to hold his arm and say,"Stay with me tonight,I don't wanna be alone"
Taehyung could never say no to Jimin,even if he was sure all Jimin needed was to get to bed and sleep off into his hangover.He wasn't drunk per say but his cheeks already had a blush pink on them and Taehyung had lost count of how many shots of Soju Jimin had donned.Jimin was hurt, Taehyung knew that very well and he doesn't need to hear it verbally.Jimin's downcast eyes and sombre expression is enough to confirm the same.
Both of them dismissed their managers and Taehyung promised to take Jimin home safe.Jimin's eyes were cast onto the busy streets of Seoul and it's glimmering lights.Seoul never slept and Taehyung knows Jimin had always stayed early along with Seoul.The walk to the lift was silent and Jimin typed in the security code and kicked his shoes aside.Taehyung had a dedicated space in Jimin's closet from the million times he had stayed over.When Taehyung freshened up and came back,the TV was running on some Netflix show and Jimin was sitting on the floor,leaning against the couch.A new bottle of Soju and wine along with few glasses sat on the table.

"Are you going to drink again?", Taehyung asked,running a hand through his damp hair.
"Isn't it a day to celebrate?I got you wine",Jimin said as he shook the wine bottle lightly to show Taehyung and Taehyung sighed heavily,coming down to sit by Jimin on the floor.
"I think you should sleep", Taehyung said but his words were muffled against Jimin opening the Soju bottle and pouring a drink onto his glass.He took it in a shot,cringing after and the pink was rising again.
"Jimin-", Taehyung tried again.
Jimin sighed heavily,throwing his head against the couch and staring at the ceiling,"Just today...just for today",Jimin stopped for a moment and there was silence.Taehyung pulled his legs close and then Jimin turned his head.His hair sprawled onto the soft leather,"It hurts"

Taehyung saw a tear slipping into the dip between his nose and cheeks.
"I don't like to be alone,I don't wanna be alone",Jimin said and Taehyung stared as another tear joined the pool.Taehyung knows well that Jimin hated being alone,he could still remember the ruckus when they moved to the new dorm and Jimin had thrown a tantrum asking Hoseok to be his roommate.Jimin feared being alone and Taehyung saw the same fear in his eyes now.Taehyung reached forward and gathered the tears and Jimin closed his eyes to it.

"You won't be alone,I promise", Taehyung said,reassuring Jimin and he would keep saying it until Jimin believed it but Jimin didn't agree,"I will be..I will be left behind.Everyone have their own life going on already,their own friends and am....just..just here" and then more tears spilled down Jimin's face as he straightened up reaching forward to fill another glass.
"I will be there,Jimin...Am right here..", Taehyung moved closer to Jimin,a hand thrown over his shoulders to rest against the couch and Jimin only let out a laugh,"No..",Jimin drank another,"You'll be gone too.."
"Jimi-"
"So many friends..you have so many friends..you will go away too..",Jimin sucked in a breath,"I am just boring ..no reason for anyone to stick around with me anymore"
"Stop it,Jimin.None of that's true-",But Taehyung was cut off again.
"Did I not do enough? Am I not enough?",Jimin wiped his sleeve onto his red face,"you'll be gone too",Jimin resigned.
Taehyung turned around and grasped Jimin's hand before he reached to get another shot.He kept his hands tight and sighed,"You won't be alone...I got you..I always got you"
"No-"
"Jimin, listen.What did I tell you to remember in moments like these?", Taehyung cupped Jimin's face into his large arms,almost covering the entirety of it.Jimin closed his eyes freeing more tears.
"Tell me,my idiot"
"That..that you like me the most",Jimin mumbled out and Taehyung kissed Jimin's forehead,"that's right...I didn't lie,Jimin.I like you the most..you are like my most favourite person in the world".
Taehyung moved his hands back to Jimin's,"and yes I do have many friends but you're still the one I like...I love"
And Jimin stilled,his eyes searching for things,memories,moments that he had felt exactly like this before.Like tiny butterflies prodding at the walls of his stomach fighting the urge to take flight.But realization donned on him again, Taehyung doesn't mean it like that.He only wanted to comfort Jimin in whatever way possible, Taehyung could never love Jimin like that even if he was his most favourite person.

"Jimin", Taehyung called and Jimin gave him a tight lipped smile before nodding.
"If you'd let me ,I wanna come home to you everyday after work", Taehyung said and now Jimin was just confused,"Taehyung?"
"Did you not hear me,Jimin?"
"What are you-"

"I could write in songs,spell it in letters,stare the stars in your eyes and moon on your spine but you'd never hear,you'd never read.Would you,Jimin?"
Jimin's lips parted and he wasn't sure if he could breath anymore because Taehyung was close,he was very close and leaning to press his forehead against Jimin's.
"Tae-..I.."
"Let me come home to you,Jimin.I love you..I love you enough to call you home", Taehyung said and Jimin could only answer in action,could only answer with leaning forward to connect their lips and he couldn't help but sigh,'finally'
"I love you too...",Jimin moved closer moulding his lips into Taehyung's,parting and pressing again and again and again.
"I thought I would lose you"
"You'd never ..I confessed infront of the world,Jimin.You are the one for me always"

And Jimin would believe it this time,read this time,hear this time for this is love.This is what they sang in "friends" that when the cheers die down,it will be okay cause he'd have Taehyung by his side..No matter what.
