PAST

I've been roaming around my phone like a eagle flying circles in sky. I'm walking back and forth my apartment, biting nails and wiping sweats. I'm contemplating if i should really make a call, not sure to whom.

I'll probably call hyung. To ask him whether the marriage ceremony is over. Though i know it's time for it to be over by now.

Taehyung's wedding was four in thr afternoon, at some church in Daegu. He left Seoul with his family a week ago, a week since i lost my sleep. I glanced down at my watch for the third time, it's ten minutes past eight.

I haven't once called taehyung since the last time i stealthily met him in his bedroom. He hadn't called either. Somewhere we both accepted that there isn't anything more left to save our relationship.

I slowly sat on the bed. Taehyung is married now. I lost him and i'll probably never see him again. Even if i do, i'll have to pretend like i haven't seen him because if i get a chance to hear his voice again, then i'll cross every boundaries to make him mine.

Before i could know, i'm silently crying. I felt my tears dripping to my lap. I laid to my bed, suddenly feeling drained. We loved each other, it wasn't just me, he loved me too. Then why wasn't it enough for us spend our life together?

I'm not a total failure like his father believes. I'm working on building a system software. Not alone, i have a partner whom i met with help of yoongi hyung. Together we're aiming to create an operating system that the market is in desperate need. I'm sure once we're successful with this software, we can go on with new and bigger things that involves owning my own tech company. It will take time but i hope everything goes according to the plans i have set in motion.

I somewhere dozed off in the middle of my thoughts. Taehyung was standing before me in a diamond white outfit, holding his favorite lilies. I slowly trailed my eyes up on his face, thrilled to get a glimpse of his beauty. I flinch awake the moment i see tears in his eyes.

I rush to wash my face. I'm gasping with every splash of water. Would it be just a dream or was taehyung really crying in his wedding? I held the wash basin tightly, panting in agitation.

I can't wait any longer, i need to atleast know taehyung is alright. I hurried to grab my phone, only to be stopped by the ring of doorbell. For a second, i decided to ignore whoever it is behind the door but then i heard hyung's voice, calling for me.

When i opened the door, the ground beneath me seemed to be shaking. I was looking into taehyung's glossy eyes. Just like the dream i had a minute ago. He released a breath upon seeing me and i was suddenly thinking i'm hallucinating.

"Taehyung" His name flowed out of my mouth with a fragile gentleness.

A sob left taehyung's parted lips and then he was pressed against my chest. My arms immediately went to press him tighter. I closed my eyes against the crook of his neck, breathed  in his scent and smiled. I had nothing else in my mind other than finally having taehyung back in my arms.

"Jungkook---" He was crying so much, the sounds of his sobs piercing to my heart. I don't know how it's possible to physically feel the pain upon seeing his tears. It feels like i'm being chocked on air.

"I couldn't---" I hear him saying between his cries.

As my breathing gets hard, i finally meet yoongi hyung's gaze. He was standing nonchalantly, hands stuffed on his pockets and brows creased in slight impatience. He wasn't smiling at me but i can sense he wants to give his proud smile.

I know what all of this means but i need a confirmation. "Hyung?"

"He's all yours" That's all he says to me.
