Jungkook was lying on his bed, staring at the ceiling.
He had spent the past month like this. Staring. Spacing out. Doing absolutely nothing.
He had thought of going to Busan, but he couldn't. He felt like doing nothing, and just disappearing. He wanted a black hole to consume him. Relieve him of this misery and hell.
A knock sounded on the door and it opened, Yoongi popping his head in. "Are you okay? Do you want something to eat?"
Jungkook had been living in Yoongi and his house again. He didn't want to think of Taehyung, but here he was yet again. He shook his head, still staring at the ceiling. "No", he said. "No what?", Yoongi asked. "Yes, I'm fine. And no, I'm not hungry"
"Well, you don't seem fine to me. But okay. I'll see you at dinner", Yoongi said softly and left.
Jungkook sighed through his nose.
The police were still finding Cheng and William. They'd searched Seoul, and no luck. They were now currently searching other cities. Before the duo could escape any further. And thankfully, the media coverage of Taehyung had died down. They say people forget things with time. And they were forgetting. His song and movies were slowly climbing back up the charts. The public could shun him out, but they couldn't deny his hardwork and talent.
Taehyung...
A single tear formed on the edge of his left eye, and fell down on the soft bedsheet.
Why? Why did you go away from me?
Jungkook couldn't understand anything that was going on. There was no one. No one who could pull him out of this abyss. No one who could mend him back. No one who could fill the void in his heart and soul.
No one, except Kim Taehyung.
He wanted him back. He wanted to text him, call him. But he had resisted the urge. He didn't want Taehyung to think about him. He didn't want to bring back memories. He just silently hoped Taehyung's therapy was working, and that he'd come home in a few more months.
Jungkook closed his eyes, and dreamed of his Tae.
.........
Taehyung hummed a tune as he waited for Eun, who was attending another patient.
He was sitting in the waiting room, his face covered with a mask. He had decided to log back into his social media, and had found many surprising messages from his fans. The fans who still supported him no matter what, pleaded him to post something, or make movies again. They said they missed him and loved him.
Taehyung smiled to himself. His movies were also trending #1 again. The homophobic people may hate him, but his movies were the best. Right, don't be so egoistic. Eun had taught him that.
The door opened, and the patient left, thanking Eun. Eun came to stand near Taehyung, hands in his pocket. "I'm done for the day", he said. Taehyung slid his mask down till his chin. "Good. Let's go"
Eun locked his clinic, and they got into his car.
They had decided to go for a drive today. A long one, and then they would go to a beach.
Eun clicked a button as they drove on the highway. The roof of the car slid back, the wind rushing in. Eun knew Taehyung was grinning by the upward movement of his eyes.
Taehyung stretched an arm above him, feeling the wind on his honey skin.
It had been a long while since he had felt something like this. A long, long while.
He looked at Eun sideways, who was smiling, staring straight ahead. He smiled.
A long while since he felt happy with someone too.
Taehyung switched on the radio, and a cool, summer song was playing. "Oh, I like this!", Eun said, chuckling. "Me too", Taehyung whispered, looking at him.
Taehyung looked up at the sky, the wind rushing through his hair.
He liked the feel of the wind through his hair. The sky was so blue, that it made him stare at it without blinking. The white clouds soared through it, looking down on him.
He closed his eyes and breathed in the cool air.
This moment felt so precious.
"You...you're so beautiful", Eun said, too softly for Taehyung to hear in the wind.
But he heard it. He gazed at Eun, whose brown side bangs blew in the wind. His brown eyes sparkled as they looked at at Taehyung.
The next song played, and they still stared at each other.
"Oh God, watch out!", Taehyung said suddenly.
Eun swerved, and barely restrained the car from bumping into another.
They chuckled. "I'm sorry", Eun huffed, panting heavily. Taehyung patted his shoulder. "It's alright. It was close, though" Eun nodded.
They drove for a few more hours, stopping at cafes. They had circled the cities around New York, and had come back. They were now driving to a beach in NY.
They got out of the car. It was 8 in the evening, and the sun had already set. The sky was dark, the beach illuminated by the lights along the sea.
There were very few people there. Eun pulled out a blanket from the trunk of the car, and spread it out on the sand where there were no people around.
They both sat down, looking at the sea.
It was a wonderful view. The dark sea gave a turquoise glow due to the lights around it. The cool wind blew, embracing them every second.
"I just love this", Eun breathed. Taehyung smiled, sliding his mask down. He sucked in a deep breath. It reminded him of the time when he was at Seoul's beach with his friends, on Hoseok's birthday. They had all group hugged, and had said 'I love you' to each other.
Eun touched the edge of his eyes, wiping his tears.
Taehyung realised he had been crying. He quickly wiped them. "It's okay", Eun whispered. Taehyung didn't say anything.
His eyes widened as he felt a strong hand gently grab his head and put it on a shoulder.
It was comforting. Taehyung snuggled in on Eun's shoulder, as Eun put his arm around his shoulders.
They stared at the sea together.
.........
They were silent as they drove back, a random song playing on the radio.
But there was a tension between them.
"I'll go home after dropping you", Eun said. Taehyung nodded.
They reached his apartment, and just sat in the parked car. Neither of them moved. Eun made the effort, "So...see you tomorrow then", and touched Taehyung's thigh.
Taehyung jerked his head towards him, Eun unable to comprehend the look in his eyes.
