Solar: A sequel to Eclipse

•11•

By this point and time, it was already snowing outside. It had been about a month since Jimin had seen Taehyung. Everyone was working today, despite the snow and ice on the ground.

Jimin was doing dishes and trying to keep himself busy. It's not like he had anything else to do anyway.

He couldn't even drive, not that he would remember the streets anymore. So dishes was just a chore that kept him sane.

"Jimin." A soft voice echoed, bringing Jimin out of his trance. When he looked around, he noticed that he wasn't in the house anymore.

Great, another memory.

When he turned his head, he saw what seemed to be him and Taehyung. It was definitely Halloween in this memory, due to the face paint on Taehyung's face.

Jimin was dressed up as a bag of chips while Taehyung was dressed like a cop. Somehow, both costumed seemed eerie in nature.

Jimin watched as his memory progressed.

"Jimin, look at me." Taehyung commanded. Jimin looked up at him, seemingly dreading this conversation.

"Did you wanna tell me what's going on? Or do I have to force it out."

Jimin pursed his lips and sighed.

"I'm sorry."

"You're sorry?" Taehyung asked darkly.

Jimin felt confused as he watched his past self stiffen up. What was he sorry about?

"Tae, I swear it didn't mean anything." Jimin whispered. Taehyung stared at him angrily.

"Really? Then, I guess you wouldn't mind me confronting him."

"No!" Jimin called out. Taehyung paused and then turned back around to face Jimin.

Now he understood. Jimin covered his mouth as he realized what his past self did. Now he understood why Taehyung went bad. It was because he cheated in the past!

It had to be!

Taehyung grabbed onto Jimin's collar and forced him onto his feet.

"No?"

Jimin looked scared.

"I.....I just don't want the drama." Jimin whispered shakily.

Taehyung nodded, releasing Jimin from his grip. Jimin let out a relieved sigh until he realized that Taehyung was looking around, almost as if he was looking for someone.

Before he could ask a question, Taehyung punched Jimin in the stomach with as much force as he could muster.

Jimin gasped as he witnessed the memory unfold. He watched as his past self held onto Taehyung in pain.

"If you ever fuck him again, I'll kill him." Taehyung threatened. Jimin just nodded.

Within seconds, Jimin watched as his memory faded back into present time. He realized that this same room, this same kitchen was the place that memory even happened.

Jimin covered his mouth again as he felt his hands shake.

Jimin was the bad guy? Jimin was the reason everything happened?

The sound of the faucet continued as the shock in Jimin started to settle. He wasn't sure why he couldn't move, but maybe he was still processing what he saw.

The only thing to ground him was the clicking of the door. Someone was home, meaning that soon enough, everyone would start coming back.

"Jimin?" Jin asked confused. Jimin looked to him with teary eyes, not sure what to say.
