part five,
forty-three days after- ;
taehyung wasn't surprise when he found jungkook on the roof of his home a few days later. the youngest had another bottle of vodka, but this time it was only a quarter empty, unlike a quarter full. taehyung silently went to his side, but it seemed as though jungkook didn't notice as he stared up at the empty sky yet again.
"it's four am jungkook" taehyung sighed, moving closer to the boy's side, in an attempt to comfort him in a way, little did taehyung know that it wasn't working. it took a while for the oldest to realise the tears that stained jungkook's cheeks, and the wetness pooling under his eyelashes.
jungkook let out a loud sob, letting his head fall into his palms as he crippled under taehyung's gaze. the maknae wiped his nose, coughing as he began to feel sick and overwhelmed with the feeling of sadness.
"the tears are hurting my eyes," jungkook sobbed into the back of his palm, "the vodka is burning my lungs."
"i try to forget about her and the way she hurt me," he continued, unscrewing the bottle of vodka and taking a large swing, cringing as it burned his throat, "but it's scarred into my memories like permanent ink; i even try to forget her stupid name."
"jungko-" taehyung started, but was cut off when jungkook let out a loud whimper of pain, clutching his chest as he sunk down onto his back. taehyung was worried, but he still didn't like to show it. his best friend was just heartbroken.
"but the only name i forget is my own and drunk, or sober, she's the only thing on my mind" jungkook finished, sobbing and whining as he continued to clutch his chest, just over where his heart was situated.
taehyung leant forward to take the vodka away from jungkook, and the youngest was too caught up in his sorrows to even notice. taehyung took a sip himself, wiping the sweat off of his forehead with the back of his spare hand. he didn't know why he was sweating, it was cold out.
jungkook laid on his back, shifting around uncomfortably on the cement rooftop. his heart was in so much pain that it hurt to breathe, he didn't want to feel like this anymore, and tonight the alcohol was just not drowning away the agony.
"i find it pathetic, that she could say that she loved me, and then ended up destroying me," jungkook coughed, on the verge of throwing up as he covered his mouth with his palm, muffling his words, "i don't even know who i am anymore, taehyung."
