My ghost (Taekook)

11- Love you

Entering Jungkook's room, Tae finds a diary on the floor. He was sure he had packed everything so he can leave the apartment tomorrow. He takes the diary and recognizes it immediately. It's one of those he bought so he and his friend could write daily his secrets. While Tae made the best of it, writing every single night even after the accident...Kook payed no attention to it. Though now that the thinks about it, there was one time where he saw him use it. He even remembers his words from back then.

- I don't need to write this again. I have it present on my mind constantly. Every hour of every day.

Curiosity gets the best of him with those words in mind. If there's one perfect moment to find out what his friend's secret was then this is it. He opens it and finds several empty sheets. Pretty much all of them were blank with only one exception. It's a single paragraph, too short for his taste. And yet his eyes fill up with tears when reading it.

I love you, Kim Taehyung. My heart melts whenever we are together. I'm gonna marry you one day. I'm gonna spend my life by your side and enjoy that smile of yours until the day I die. Just wait for me and I promise I'll confess...

Each and every word leaves a bittersweet taste in his mouth. So perfect and yet so painful. He holds the diary against his chest while the tears roll down his cheeks uncontrollably. The lump in his throat is making his voice come out forced. He talks to his dead friend while being fully convinced he can't be heard.

- You loved me...You loved me like I loved you. Kook...

He stares at the ceiling. Wondering if his Kookie is looking down from heaven right now.

- Did you really love me till the end? You think we could've been together? Would you have kissed me like I always wanted to kiss you?

He's not waiting for an answer. He's just letting out things he never got to ask. With the diary in his hands, he returns to the kitchen. He prepares to have his last dinner in the apartment. There's a warm feeling taking over his body again. And there's a sound around him that he can't hear but he knows it's there. Like one of those whales that sing in a tone unable to be perceived. The words of his neighbors come back to his head.

Sometimes when someone talks to you...you just need to listen.

Said Namjoon thinking about his own cursed apartment

I don't know who you need to listen to or why but...just...listen

Jimin asked him like it was the biggest favor in the whole words.

Taehyung doesn't believe in magical things. He doesn't wanna keep having those illusions that can't be real. But maybe, since this is the last time he'll be in this place at all...

- I guess I could go crazy for one night...

Tae closes his eyes and takes a deep breath. It takes him a few seconds before he dares to open them again thinking he'll be disappointed. However, he stays in shock when he sees in front of him his best friend is sitting at the table. Jungkook is peeling the perilla leaves on his plate and only stops to look up and connect eyes with him. A bunny smile appears and Tae can't believe it. He blinks a few times but the image doesn't change.

Even if there are two different dimensions, they can see each other clear enough to ignore it. Kook has no time to lose. To be honest, he barely has time at all. So he simply says what he always kept to himself.

- I'm gonna love you in every single one of my lives. I'll always find you again somehow

He leans forward to kiss him and Tae doesn't wanna close his eyes. It's a very strange sensation. Like the contact is there and at the same time it's not. They want more but also this is more than what they ever expected. Tae can feel the emotions flowing through them as the tears fall not only from his eyes but also from the ones of the boy he loved. Slowly, Kook pulls away and his image starts to fade

- N-No, no no, don't go...

- You'll be leaving too, Tae baby

- I'm s-sorry! I'll stay here! I won't move out, I'll ju-

- I love you. And I always will. No matter where you go. And no matter where I go...

By the tone in his voice Tae can see this a goodbye. It's been that way since the beginning. He can see through the boy and the last image he gets are from those pretty Bambi eyes and the cutest smile in the entire universe.

- No matter what comes next or how your life goes from now on. All you need to know is that I love you...

- I love you too...

There's one last hug. Almost impossible to feel. And in his arms, he fades away. In the end, Tae finds himself hugging his own body. But the answer to his question was there and he can finally be sure they both said what they've been hiding for so long. And now, life goes on.
