"I can never be happy!" Jungkook exclaimed, his voice filled with despair.
"I don't deserve happiness. Nothing seems to go right, everything messes up whenever I try."
Tears welled up in his doe eyes, and Taehyung couldn't bear to see them fall. "I...
Jungkook hadn't seen Taehyung in over a week, and it had been that long since he tried alcohol.
He's been having trouble sleeping lately. He feels really weird and even more alone because Yoongi is always at work, working too much, and his parents went on a month-long international business trip.
He feels the absence of someone beside him, but he's not ready to admit it.
At 7 a.m., Jungkook gazed at the old air conditioner as it blew cold air on him in his dark room with closed curtains. The only light in the room came from a small lamp. Jungkook didn't blink once the whole night. He had dark circles under his eyes.
Unable to resist, he grabbed his phone, found Taehyung's contact, and sent a text.
Kookie 🎀 Where in the world are you
Kookie 🎀 Not like I miss you
Kookie 🎀 Still asking
Jungkook sent the messages, thinking that Taehyung probably wouldn't reply in the morning since he seemed like a party guy who wouldn't be up early.
After thirty minutes had passed, Jungkook, who was still tossing and turning in his bed, finally made the decision to look for his Instagram account.
Jungkook wondered about his username as he typed, taehyung.
He searched through but couldn't spot anyone alike. "Hmm, does he not have one? But wait, he must!" Jungkook pondered for a second.
Jungkook typed, park jimin
He scrolled through the page until he stumbled upon someone who had Jimin as their profile picture. He hesitated for a moment before clicking on it. Jimin was a popular figure with 14k followers and 109 posts. He decided to take a look at the most recent post.

Jungkook couldn't help but stare at the picture. He realized that he was actually missing Taehyung, reading the comments mentioning Taehyung's mock tests.
Taehyung appeared changed, with his hair now shorter than when Jungkook last saw him. The mullet was gone and his hair was back to black. Jungkook noticed that the post was from last night.
Jungkook jumped out of bed, switched off the lamp, flicked on the ceiling lights, and stood in front of the mirror.
Looking at his reflection, Jungkook noticed his long hair had grown past his nose, tangled and all messy. He wondered if the hairdresser would agree to cut the mess.
