Continuation...🥀

Suddenly those social media comments Started playing in his head.He finds the online comments, first.The ones bemoaning the end of the 'most perfect couple'; the one that declares Taehyung and Suzy as a  'match made in heaven.'
Even the ones that, apparently, had hated when he and Jungkook became a thing.
"How do you downgrade from Choi Suzy to Jeon Jungkook?? I'm-"

"What, did Taehyung get bored and want to try to slum it?"
And for every comment like that, there's a hundred supporting him and Taehyung, but it's hard to see those, right now.He sees the posts analyzing every interaction of Suzy and Taehyung there's ever been, comparing them side by side with his and Taehyung's.And he knows, he knows just how biased and one-sided and overly analytical these kinds of posts can get, but. He just can't stop.
Logic and rationale have all ceased to work, leaving behind a mess of overthinking and insecurities that he hasn't experienced in a while. He's his own worst enemy, he'd been told by one of his singing instructors, once.

That's when he comes across it.
A video clip, blurry, a few years old. It's of Taehyung on some red carpet event, looking gorgeous, as per usual.
He's alone, unaccompanied by a date. An interviewer goes up to him, mic up to his face. "Taehyung!"she greets.

"Everyone is wondering - why did you and Choi Suzy break up?"
Taehyung pauses. Hums thoughtfully. And isn't that part of why everyone loves him so? That deep thoughtfulness steeped into every little action and word of his.
"Right person, wrong time, I guess," Taehyung says softly at last, expression wistful and laced with all that immeasurable affection that Jungkook knows, firsthand, what it's like to be on the receiving end of.
He feels his heart twist, hard enough that he gasps for air.

Right person.

The right person.

SUZY was Taehyung's right person.

And, what's worse- Jungkook catches the date. The interview was just three months before he met Taehyung for the first time. He thinks he's going to be sick.Nausea swells with glee in his throat.Right below that, there's another post, aligning a similar interview of Suzy at one of her premieres. She's one of Korea's most favored actresses, to add insult to all this injury- She's a chaebol and a celebrity, in a world Jungkook can't compete in."Choi Suzy-ssi," The interview says, greeted with one of Suzy's lovely, lovely smiles. Jungkook's head throbs."We notice you didn't bring a date tonight. Does this mean you're not over your ex yet?
Suzy pauses."Tae?" Tae. The way Jungkook's heart feels flayed open."Tae," Jungkook always giggles, anytime Taehyung does something particularly endearing."I love that,"Taehyung had told him, once, pressed close with one hand cradling the back of his head.Jungkook had flushed red. "Tae?""The way you say my name.""I don't know if I'll ever be 'over' him,"Suzy continues, destroying Jungkook's world ever so effortlessly with each word."He's...he's not really a guy one simply moves on from, you know? Suzy says all this with a smile, as though Taehyung is a beautiful memory to cherish.Yeah, Jungkook thinks, tasting bile on the back of his throat.He won't be getting over Taehyung after this, either.He understands."He's that great love of one's life," Suzy says voice laced with enough affection to choke Jungkook.His nausea grows tenfold.
Even moreso, reading all the comments below, gushing about the 'starcrossed lovers.'Right person, wrong time.They- they both sounded so fond of the other. So beautifully adoring.What was Jungkook even doing, in the middle of that?
He feels like an intruder, now.Hysterically, he can't help but think- he's like Goldilocks. Goldilocks, who came into someone else's home, taking up someone else's place. Sleeping in a bed that belongs to someone else. Eating a feast that doesn't belong to him.No wonder all these people online abhor him.He's an imposter, standing in a role he doesn't belong in, when the rightful owner is right there.
