Taehyung

After running out of Jin's house and hiding out at Jungkook's hotel room last night like a coward, I head over to my parents with my tail between my legs, they told me to come to dinner and I know they invited Jin, I want to be where he is, I miss him, I am not sure why I freaked out. I sit in the chair on the porch before going in, I really can't deal with my mom without Jin around now a days, so I want to prepare myself to face her. 

The door opens and my dad walks out with two beers and sits next to me, "Jin isn't here, he hasn't responded to any of our texts today, what happened." I look at him surprised, "what do you mean." He side eyes me, "you look like you lost your puppy Taehyung, so I ask again, what happened."

"I'm an idiot that's what happened, I freaked out and ran out on him", I say sadly. "Freaked out about what", he asks sipping his beer. "Jin said Hyun told him I like him, why would he say that, who does that, tells their boyfriend that their brother likes them", I say rubbing my hands over my face. He laughs, he actually laughs, "I think everyone knows this except your mother." "What do you mean", I ask mortified.

"Taehyung first of all Jin wasn't with your brother at the end, they were just friends, secondly your brother and I had long talks at night after your mother went to bed and Jin and Lennon went home", he says setting his beer bottle down, "he hated sleeping, he was afraid he wouldn't wake up to see Jin again, he was infatuated with him and he knew it, he also knows that's what drove Jin away, your brother told me that he knew you liked Jin a lot and became cold and distant so that you didn't have to see them together." "That wasn't the only reason but it was the main reason", I say guiltily.

 "Did you read the letter he wrote you yet", he asks. I shake my head, "not yet." "You better read it Taehyung, let's go eat", he says standing. "You knew they weren't together, Jin was under the impression you and mom didn't know", I say. "Your mother didnt, Hyun told me but Jin didn't know", he says walking into the house. I hug my mother when I walk in but I don't get any warmth back, I sigh and sit down at the table, I look over at the chair where Jin would sit and it's empty, just like my chest. I look at my dad and he smiles at me and nods, I stand up from the table, "thanks mom but I have to go." 

"Taehyung, you are so ungrateful, I can't even believe you, Hyun would never leave family dinner", she scolds. "Anna, shut up, he has somewhere to be", my dad says smirking. I laugh and run out to my car driving back to Jungkook's hotel, when I knock he opens the door, "hey I need to grab something out of my bag." "Sure, sorry I didn't go to your parents for dinner, I am meeting up with a friend for dinner", Jungkook says checking his hair in the mirror. "No worries, I left anyway, mind if I hang out here while you are gone", I ask grabbing the envelope out of my bag.

 "Not at all, make yourself at home, I'll see you later", he says grabbing his wallet and keys. I sit on the couch, muting the tv and looking at the envelope, why am I so nervous, why am I afraid of what my twin brother wrote to me before he died. I slowly open the envelope not wanting to rip it and pull the letter out, I recognize Hyun's handwriting right away, I take a deep breath and start reading.

Dearest Taehyung

My baby brother, my favorite twin, my very own pain in the ass, and the one person who knows me inside and out and still loves me unconditionally, if you are reading this I guess you know what that means, don't be sad because I'll haunt you and make your life miserable so you will never miss me. I'm writing this for a few reasons, first you live to far away and second you are so stubborn I didn't need you walking out on me when you know I can't chase you. Mom is sick, she walks around this house cursing you and blaming you for everything, when dad or I ask her why she is so angry she says she doesn't know, or that's she's not mad at all. 

Please do not take her behavior to heart, dad says he is going to ask her doctor about it. Now for the elephant in the room, Taehyung we both know that from the beginning you developed feelings for Jin, you couldn't hide it from me, I know you better than you know yourself. I fucked up Tae, I drove him away with my jealousy, he sees me as a friend and it hurts, it was all my fault but when someone mentions your name his eyes twinkle and the cutest little smile shows on his face, he has feelings for you and believe it or not I'm okay with that. I want it to be you who takes care of him and Lennon when I'm gone, love him hard Taehyung, he deserves it and so do you, I didn't love him, I was obsessed with him, there is a huge difference and I learned that to late. 

My lawyers name is at the bottom of this letter along with his phone number, call him he has paperwork for you to fill out, do this for me brother please, I will Rest In Peace knowing that Jin is with someone he truly loves and that Lennon will have two parents who love her deeply. I love you Taehyung, I will miss you so much but please remember all the fun we had and all the fights we had and all the adventures we took together, don't let mom get to you, you are amazing no matter what you do with your life. I'll be watching over all of you, also make sure Jin reads the letter I wrote for the one year anniversary.

Your Guardian Angel

Taehyun

I cried my eyes out sitting on that couch, I miss my brother, he really was my best friend, my only real support and I was his. He wants me to be with Jin and Lennon, I have his blessing, I grab my chest and cry harder, I do love Jin and I really hope he still loves me.
