Taehyung looked at his post in satisfaction, and hit the send button.
He had posted: "Thank you to my fans for supporting me always. I'm currently getting therapy, and will get better soon. You gave me the courage to keep moving forward. I will soon post something. Thank you once again"
It had been 4 months, and he had felt like he should thank his fans. He couldn't be absent for so long. He feared being forgotten.
Taehyung looked up at Eun, who was reading a book.
They were in Taehyung's apartment, hanging out after the daily sessions. Speaking of them, they had spent every session in each other's arms, cuddling together. Eun would stroke Taehyung's hair, who would just tell him more secrets.
Taehyung didn't admit it, but he had felt so guilty, that he had cried all night. He had put his hand over his mouth, not letting his choking voice escape.
He looked down at his phone, reading the nice comments.
He wanted to be with Jungkook. With his friends.
But he couldn't go back.
He glanced at Eun.
Especially not now.
.........
Jimin had almost fell from the chair when he had heard the notification sound.
Taehyung!? Why did he post now?
Jimin slowly read his post. Did it mean the therapy was going smoothly? Would he be back soon?!
The door burst open, Jungkook rushing in. "He posted!" Jimin nodded swiftly. "I know! Does it mean he's coming back soon?" Jungkook shrugged, scrolling through the comments. "I don't know. But the comments look positive"
"Even if he did come back...where would he work?"
Jungkook looked up at Jimin. "What do you mean?"
Jimin shrugged, looking down. "Jin hyung is obviously mad at him. He...we won't just take him back"
Jungkook looked at him like he had grown a second head.
"So you won't even fucking talk to him?! What the fuck?! I thought he was your soulmate!" Jimin looked at him with wide eyes. "I...I don't know", he whispered.
Jungkook rolled his eyes. "He wasn't in his right mind. He was traumatised, for God's sake! And you'll just turn him away!?" Jimin said nothing. "I didn't expect this from you", Jungkook said quietly, and left, slamming the door.
Jimin stared the phone, reading the post over and over.
You don't know how much I want him back.
.........
Cheng paid the amount and took the vegetables from the shopkeeper.
He silently walked through the streets, the hood of his jacket over his head.
He had heard from his cousin, the owner of Star Bar, that police were looking for him everywhere. His cousin had got the intel from a policeman, who was his friend.
Cheng gritted his teeth. He couldn't even move to another city right now. It'd be too risky. They probably had police near every train station, highway, etc. He would just trust his luck and stay in Ddaegu.
He reached the small apartment in which he and William were living.
He knew something was off before he turned the handle and opened the door. William always locked the door.
Before he could shout for him, somebody grabbed his hands from behind and shoved him down on his knees, handcuffing them. "Finally, we got him", the voice said.
Cheng looked up as the other policemen came from inside the room, holding William who was also handcuffed. "I-I'm sorry, Cheng. I didn't know they were following me"
Cheng looked down, gritting his teeth. What a fucker. He shouldn't have included him. The officers pulled him up on his feet. "We've found you after so many months. Try some fancy shit, and we'll put a bullet through your throat", one officer said, pulling out a gun.
"Fuck you!", Cheng shouted, and started shaking himself from their grip. The other officer butted his head with the end of his gun, knocking him out.
"Now that's how you do it"
.........
Hours later, at Jin and Namjoon's house.
Namjoon told the four everything, as Jin appeared from the kitchen carrying a tray of snacks and drinks.
"So Cheng snitched his cousin out too?", Yoongi chuckled. Namjoon nodded, joining Yoongi. "He said he would go down with everyone who was included" Hoseok chuckled. "What a dumbass"
Jungkook smiled. "So the cousin deliberately invited Taehyung to the party. Taehyung had even said that he wasn't friends with him"
Jimin nodded. "Well, the important thing is that the mastermind and his lackeys are caught"
Jin raised his glass. "No more problems, I hope"
Namjoon grinned. "You can say that. Cheng, William and the cousin are now being transported to a better guarded prison. They won't be getting out till another 10-20 years."
Hoseok laughed. "And they won't think about another revenge after that"
They all cheered and drank. They ate dinner and then had dessert while watching a movie. It had taken them courage to watch one without Taehyung. But they had managed it alright. There was a deep void, but it could be filled.
Jungkook's eyes were on the screen, but his mind was elsewhere.
Taehyung, now that they are gone, would you come back home?
