With Taehyung, He didn't realize when his feet started moving.

He didn't realize when his hands stopped shaking, or when his heart shattered into millions of pieces.

He didn't realize when the gate was left far behind him.

He didn't cry, he couldn't cry.

But his eyes wont stop watering, Not like now, like he was dying and now couldn't be saved anymore.

His chest felt like it was being crushed from inside, like something sharp was lodged there, and every breath was slicing him open more and more. His vision blurred, not because of tears alone but because his head wouldn't stop replaying Jungkook's face.

The way he looked at him.

The way his eyes were red, swollen, drowning.

The way his cheeks were already red, those marks on his face,

The way his lips trembled when he said, 'Please'.

Taehyung clenched his fists so hard his nails dug into his palms. His fury knowing no bonds.

 He wanted to break the hands of the person who touched him; he wanted to burn that person alive. But he couldn't do that because it was Jungkook's family, his own blood.

God. He wanted to turn back.

He wanted to run. He wanted to break that gate, break that house, break every wall if it meant getting Jungkook in his arms and pressing his face into his neck, whispering that it was okay, that he was here, that he wasn't going anywhere.

He wanted to calm him down. He wanted to protect him.

But then—Mr. Jeon's eyes. 

Cold. Decided. Final.

Taehyung knew.

He knew right there. That man would marry Jungkook off, worst he would hurt him.

That man would destroy Jungkook piece by piece just to keep his pride clean.

And Taehyung—

He couldn't see that. He couldn't watch Jungkook become someone else's, be broken under someone else's hands, be erased like he never mattered, cause he was the only thing that was keeping Taehyung sane. 

So he walked away.

With his heart still behind.

He didn't even realize when he reached home.

The door opened. Closed.

He didn't see Namjoon sitting on the couch, nor he saw Yoongi beside him.
