Hug to heal ミ Taennie

3.

Taehyung trudged through the front door, his frustration and anger still simmering from his meeting with Bang PD. He collapsed onto the couch, feeling exhausted and defeated.

Just as he was starting to relax, Jennie's weak voice called out from the bedroom. "Taehyung...can you please take out the trash in the kitchen? It's starting to smell..."

Taehyung groaned, feeling a surge of annoyance. "Can't she see I'm trying to wallow in my own misery here?"

He ignored her, feigning sleep, too exhausted and frustrated to move.

Jennie called out to him again, her voice a little louder, "Taehyung, Please, can you just take out the trash?"

Taehyung remained still, his eyes shut tight, trying to block out the sound of her voice. He felt a twinge of guilt for ignoring her, but he just couldn't muster the energy to get up.

Jennie called out to him once more, her voice laced with disappointment, "Taehyung...fine. Never mind."

Taehyung lay there, feeling a mix of emotions: guilt, frustration, and exhaustion.

He knew he should get up and take out the trash, but he just couldn't bring himself to do it.

He drifted off into a restless sleep, the tension between him and Jennie palpable.

Jennie slowly got out of bed, her body aching and weak from the illness.

She knew Taehyung was exhausted and frustrated, but she couldn't just leave the trash sitting there, making the whole house smell.

With a sigh, she made her way to the kitchen, her legs trembling slightly as she walked. She tied the trash bag and dragged it out of the house, the fresh air hitting her like a slap in the face.

As she walked back inside, she felt a wave of dizziness wash over her. She grabbed onto the counter to steady herself, her vision blurring for a moment.

Despite her growing weakness, Jennie continued to clean and tidy up the house, making sure everything was spotless and in its place.

She knew Taehyung appreciated a clean home, and she didn't want to add to his stress.

But with every passing minute, Jennie felt her energy dwindling. Her body ached, her head spun, and her throat burned.

She knew she was making herself sicker, but she couldn't stop.

Finally, she collapsed onto the couch, exhausted and spent. The house was clean, but Jennie's health had paid the price.

She lay there on bed, her eyes closed, wondering why Taehyung couldn't have just taken out the trash himself.

Jennie's eyes fluttered closed, her mind wandering back to the memories of when Taehyung was a different person.

She remembered the way he used to look at her, his eyes shining with adoration and love. He would whip up her favorite dishes, surprise her with small gifts, and listen to her for hours on end.

But now...now he was a stranger.

Even when he was right next to her, he felt distant, preoccupied with his own thoughts and worries.

The spark that once burned so brightly between them had fizzled out, leaving only a dull ember.

Jennie's heart ached as she thought about how much Taehyung had changed.

She missed the way he used to make her laugh, the way he used to hold her hand, the way he used to look at her like she was the only person in the world.

She remembered the way he would stay up all night, working on a song, just to see the smile on her face when she heard it. He would do anything to make her happy, to see her eyes light up with joy.

But now, it seemed like he didn't even notice her anymore.

He was too caught up in his own struggles, his own frustrations.

Jennie felt like she was losing him, like he was slipping away from her and she couldn't do anything to stop it.Tears pricked at the corners of her eyes as she thought about what they had lost.

She knew Taehyung was still in there, somewhere, but she didn't know how to reach him anymore.

-

Taehyung was walking down the hallway at HYBE's building, his mind preoccupied with his schedule and upcoming commitments.

As he turned a corner, he collided with a familiar face - Yerin from GFRIEND.

"Oh, I'm so sorry!" Yerin exclaimed, as Taehyung quickly apologized and helped her gather her belongings.

As they stood up, Yerin smiled warmly at Taehyung.

"It's been a while, Taehyung! How have you been?"

Taehyung hesitated, unsure how much to share. "I've been...busy. You know how it is."

Yerin nodded sympathetically. "I do. I really do. It's tough being in this industry, especially when things don't go as planned."

Taehyung looked at her curiously, sensing a deeper understanding in her words.

"You know, Yerin, I've been feeling really trapped lately. Like I'm losing myself in all of this." He says.

Yerin's expression turned serious.

"I know exactly what you mean. I felt the same way during my time in GFRIEND. But sometimes, you have to take a step back and remember why you started in the first place."

Taehyung nodded, feeling a glimmer of hope. Maybe, just maybe, he could find his way again.

As Taehyung continued to chat with Yerin, his mind began to wander to Jennie.

But this time, his thoughts were tinged with a hint of melancholy. He couldn't help but think about how he and Jennie had been drifting apart lately, how they felt so distant from each other.

He thought about how they used to be inseparable, how they would talk for hours on end, sharing their deepest thoughts and feelings.

But now, it felt like they were just going through the motions, like they were two strangers living separate lives.

Taehyung's heart ached as he thought about the distance between them. He missed the way Jennie used to make him laugh, the way she used to look at him with so much love and adoration.

He missed the way they used to be.

Yerin's voice broke through his reverie, "Tae, are you okay? You seem a little lost in thought."

Taehyung forced a smile, trying to brush off his worries. "Yeah, I'm fine. Just a little tired, that's all."

But deep down, he knew he wasn't fine. He knew that something was amiss in his relationship with Jennie.

And he didn't know how to fix it.
