- "a blend of nostalgia and longing"

" You aren't only a professional dance instructor, but also a content creator and a social media influencer Tae , so you see you can't keep on neglecting the latter. it's been months you have updated your YouTube and Instagram feed with anything , it's all deserted there."

Hoseok and Taehyung had arrived at the studio earlier the next morning and the former had been trying to persuade the latter to start being active on his accounts, but the younger kept dodging his requests and advices.

" But I don't want to open those apps for now. My followers can wait " Taehyung commented nonchalantly but deep down he too was aware of what he was doing.

Don't get him wrong. He loved his fans and appreciated how much they cared for him and they truly meant the world to him. however the present circumstances were being a
barrier between him and them.

Hoseok sighed, " Stop sulking now. You yourself know you have a lot in store for them , and they are absolutely gonna love it", he trailed off , " but I see you are apparently being apathetic now ",
Taehyung now seemed to have been affected by those words as he sighed and looked down. " Okay if that's what you want, hyung " , with this he left for the front desk with the co-owner of his company trailing behind him murmuring, ' you need to move on Tae , I know you can'.

with a mug of hot chocolate in one hand and the other hovering over his phone, Taehyung was in a constant state of flux, reconsidering  his decision upon accessing his YouTube account for the nth time. reluctantly he opened the app to see the first video that popped up on his homepage, the thumbnail having him and his ex on it, the video being uploaded from a fan account of the blonde and his ex's couple channel.

had it been the former times when they were together and made adorable couple videos of them pranking each other, doing fun challenges, product review , cooking, and a lot more stuff and uploaded them on their combined channel, he would be more than delighted watching those fan-made edits.

however it was all different now, and the fact that the comments that followed were mostly of their fans demanding to update their couple channel made his heart sink again. it was obvious that their subscribers were eager for a new video of the 'formerly' lovely couple but sadly their separation was for the time being concealed from them.

and before he knew , tears had started streaming down his face, glistening his caramel skin as he tried to gobble up the knot in his throat. he felt a familiar pair of arms wrap around his shoulders and he was pulled into a warm embrace, " it's okay my bear, let out all your tears, your hyung is here for you " ,Hoseok caressed his hair, planting a small kiss on the crown of his head.

subsequently,  he let out a sniffle and looked up at Hoseok , " I came across a fan-edit of me and him on YouTube ", he stuttered out the words, " why am I still not over him?".

" it's okay, you don't have to bring him up now, all you need to do is get up, sort out your priorities, i.e, get the on-going choreography of the dance troupe done for now and leave the editing and publishing of your content to me. Consider it done. " Hoseok pulled the younger up and cheered him up, something the ball of sunshine did all the time, and Taehyung could not be more grateful to the elder.

Taehyung knew it wasn't easy for him to get over somebody he loved so dearly, perhaps he sometimes did wish his ex lover to come back to him and they would forget everything and be in each other's arms like they did in the past. And right now he was being nothing but straight up passive, and so he knew he had to let go of those false hopes and start the journey of his life again, alone , or so he thought.
