Time passed.
Day after day, month after month.
Winter came and went.
The six in Seoul celebrated Jungkook's and Namjoon's birthday in September, Jimin's birthday in October, and Jin's in December.
They hadn't celebrated Taehyung's birthday. They had just got a cake, lit the candles, and had left it on the table.
The candles had melted overnight.
Taehyung had written them letters on their respective birthdays, but never sent them. He and Eun had celebrated his own birthday in a restaurant.
They both didn't bring up their relationship. Taehyung knew he was using Eun as a coping mechanism, and Eun knew Taehyung would leave him soon.
But Eun had grown so addicted, so obsessed over him during their time together the whole year, that he would do anything to make him stay. Though he didn't know whether Taehyung loved him or not. Not, probably.
Like this, a new year began.
Bringing hopes of happiness.
.........
"You've made tremendous progress. Your mood has been happy lately", Eun said, reading his daily reports.
Taehyung smiled. It was easy to produce fake emotions. And he was a master in it. He was so good, that even a therapist couldn't recognise it. Well, he had been mastering it for years now.
"I know" Eun smiled. "Your trauma is also reducing", he said. Taehyung leaned forward. "Does that mean I'll be able to go home soon? Like this month?"
Eun looked up, dread in his eyes. Taehyung was grateful for his support, but he needed his friends more than him.
"I...I think you can. But I still need to send the reports to your doctor in Seoul, who'll give a green sign", Eun said.
Taehyung nodded. "Then send them now"
Eun hesitated. "Don't...don't you think y-you can stay here? Forever?"
Taehyung stared at him, his expression blank.
"Wha-"
"And why would I do that?"
Eun's eyes widened. He was doing what he did to his friends. "Taehyung...I...I love you"
Taehyung let out a small gasp. "W-What? H-How..."
Eun smiled sadly. "I've been your loyal fan since forever. And I got the chance to become close to you. Why wouldn't I take it?"
"B-But you know I love someone...else"
A tear escaped Eun's eye. "Y-Yeah. I do. But I couldn't stop myself. Though I also knew that I was your backup, I wanted you to love me"
Taehyung stared at him, eyes wide. "You l-look like...Jungkook", he said, telling him the truth.
Eun jerked his head up. "What?! So...So that's why you had sex with me! Because I...look like your lover"
Taehyung turned head away. "Yes. Your face faintly reminds me of him"
A slap echoed through the room.
Taehyung didn't say anything, didn't move as Eun sat back down, his hand red.
Taehyung' cheek throbbed, but he didn't show any emotion. "You filthy ass! I'm loyal to you, but that doesn't mean you can use me", Eun shouted. Taehyung looked at him. "Even if you used me as a coping mechanism, I was fine with it! Because you were using me to heal yourself. But being compared to your lover, imagining me as him...that's the worst", Eun continued.
Taehyung stood up as Eun turned away. "Send these reports for me, will you?" Eun turned towards him, hatred in his eyes. "You fucking bastard. You're a destroyer. Your friends were right. You're a fucking ruiner"
Taehyung didn't look back as he left, closing the door gently.
.........
He stared out of the window at the night sky, lying on the bed.
I...am a destroyer.
He couldn't stop the tears from pouring out.
He didn't know how he managed a whole goddamn year without them.
He picked up his phone, wiping his tears. He scrolled through their group messages, smiling. He opened his gallery and looked at the photos.
I...love them so much.
The screen blurred, and Taehyung wiped his eyes again.
He clicked on Jungkook's contact.
His last message to him was: I love you, baby. Taehyung was in his office at that time, and Jungkook had messaged him from the cabin. He had then come out to kiss him on the lips. He remembered every single detail.
Without thinking, he started typing. "Hi", he typed, but didn't hit send.
Would he reply?
He nearly dropped the phone as Jungkook became online.
His heart beat so fast. Why was he online? Would he react seeing him online too? Maybe Jungkook comes here everyday to read old messages.
His heart sank as Jungkook became offline. Then he almost had a heart attack as he became online again.
This idiot, he chuckled.
Before he could stop himself, Taehyung sent "Hi". Jungkook saw it, but didn't reply. He went offline again, then came online.
Reply, Kook.
Kook: Hi.
Taehyung almost threw his phone away.
Tae: Hi.
It was a full minute before Jungkook replied back.
Kook: How are you?
Taehyung smiled. He was worried as usual.
Tae: Fine. How are you?
Kook: I miss you.
Taehyung stared at the message. I miss you too.
Kook: Can I call you?
Tae: No, good night.
Taehyung clicked the screen off and put the phone aside, staring at the dark sky.
I would swim through the ocean to come back to you if I heard your voice again.
