BTS Imagines and Short Stories

25 - V

Taehyung brushed off some dirt from his trainers, smoothening his rumpled trousers as he stood up.

"Tae, let's go?"
Jimin smiled, putting an arm around the taller boy's shoulders, having to stand on his tip toes slightly to do so. The pair had just finished practising their latest choreography; the other 5 had already left to go back to the dorm about an hour ago but these two wanted to stay for a bit longer.

"I'm coming, let me just get my stuff."
Jimin nodded, telling the boy he was going to the bathroom. Once Jimin left, just as Taehyung turned to grab his bag and his hoodie, a gentle voice broke the silence, sounding softly in the boy's ear.

"Taehyung."

The said boy spun around, dropping his stuff.

"Y/N!"
He ran and took you up in his arms, laughing with tears choking up his words.
"I've missed you so much..." He grinned, staring at your eyes, the love for you shining brightly in his face. In his big brown eyes that were glazed with moisture; in his big bright smile, his pearly white teeth glistening in the glare of the lights of the studio.

"I've missed you too Tae," You smiled, running your hand through his hair as his eyelids fluttered closed as he enjoyed the feeling. You smiled again, softly kissing his nose. He took your hands in his, interlacing your fingers together, as you both swayed to the music which was still playing in the background, your bodies close together and his eyes never leaving yours.

"Tae, let's go?"
Jimin poked his head through the door and motioned for the boy to follow. Taehyung glanced back at you and you nodded with a wave, and he smiled back before walking over and switching off the music player and grabbing his bag, giving you once last wave.

"Y/N?"

The next time he saw you was when he and Jungkook were in a café at lunch time.

"So he said-  hyung?" Jungkook furrowed his eyebrows.
"V hyung?" Jungkook waved his hand in front of Taehyung's face.
"Look Jungkook-ah!" Taehyung jumped up excitedly, pointing outside the café window and exclaiming loudly, causing some people to look up from their drinks in confusion. "It's Y/N!"
Taehyung was up and out of the café before Jungkook could even get a word in.
After apologising and quickly paying, the younger boy followed his friend outside and spotted him across the street talking.

"Kookie-ah, say hello to Y/N, you haven't seen her in ages," Taehyung grinned still staring lovingly at you, and Jungkook's face softened at the look on V's face.
"Hello Y/N," Jungkook smiled quickly, before taking the other boy's arm.
"Hyung, let's go home now."

The boys were getting ready for their concert.

All seven of them were pumped with energy, ready to go out there and perform, to please their fans as well as themselves. As they'd all finished their dress changes and makeup, and all adjustments made, all that was left was to head out on stage.

"Jin hyung, do you think Y/N will be here?" Taehyung asked excitedly, unable to stop the little bounce in his feet as he asked.
Jin stopped smoothening his sleeves and looked up at the younger boy's hopeful face.
"Tae-"

"Bangtan, you're up now!"
Jin didn't have time to finish his sentence as the group were herded forwards.

Cheers.
Claps.
Lights.

The sounds of chants rebounded across the arena paired with the warm spotlights shining down on them filled the place with an atmosphere the boys were all too familiar with. It's warmth filled with boys' hearts with pleasure as they performed, hearing the thousands of fans cheering their names, only fuelling their energy further.

With the last goodbye speech the leader had ended with, the boys began to wave to their ARMY.
Suddenly Taehyung's face broke out into a massive grin.

"Hobi hyung!" Taehyung shouted with glee, grabbing the said boy's arm and pointing to the nearest seat in the balcony.
"What is it Tae?" Hoseok peered over at where Taehyung was pointing.
"It's Y/N!" He replied, jumping up and down and waving with both hands, blowing kisses.
Hoseok glanced over at the rest off the members who had already retreated from the stage. Looking back at the younger, he quickly took his hand.
"Come on, Tae, you can see her later, we need to go."

----------------

"Where is my Y/N? You said I can see her now!" Taehyung said happily as he glanced at the door expectantly, waiting for you to walk through the door like you do whenever you come to see one of their concerts, and give him a 'well-done' hug, as he liked to called it.

"Taehyung..."
Namjoon placed his hands on the boy's shoulders before gently pushing him down into a chair.

"What happened? Where is Y/N?!" The slight panic was evident in his voice.

The boys were stood around the seated boy, their faces pained, as Yoongi fiddled with his computer before turning it so the screen was facing Taehyung. He bit his lip as he pressed play, not saying a word.
Taehyung's eyes shifted from the members to the laptop screen.

The first clip was him, in the studio. He recognised it as the time when he and Jimin stayed later than the others. The angle of the shot was from the doorway, part of the doorframe still in the video.
There Taehyung was, smiling, swaying to the music...alone. His fingers intertwined with thin air, his loving gaze directed at nobody. 

The second clip was a shaky shot but none the less still clearly of him, taken from across the road. The time when he and Jungkook went to the café to grab a light lunch. There was he, standing and laughing jovially....alone.

The third clip was taken just this evening, judging by their stage outfits, and the time was written in the corner. This was the clearest video, not taken from a phone but from a professional camera. The clip contained Taehyung pointing excitedly and grabbing Hoseok's arm, happiness oozing from his face as he stared at...an empty seat.

The boy didn't realise tears were cascading down his cheeks at a rapid rate; he couldn't feel them. Numbness took over his body, disabling him from feeling anything.

"Where is Y/N."

He whispered it more like a statement rather than a question, his body completely still and face devoid of emotion. Because he knew exactly where you were.

"Hyung, she's been dead for 6 months now..." Jungkook wiped away a tear as he placed a gentle hand on the older boy's shoulder in an attempt to comfort him, but Taehyung didn't acknowledge his dongsaeng.

He couldn't feel it.

Jimin was crying; Jin taking some tissues and attempting to wipe the never ending drops falling from Taehyung's eyes, but the boy kept staring straight ahead at the now black computer screen.

He couldn't feel it.

Yoongi's lip started to bleed from how much he was biting it, as he turned away from the younger boy, unable to look at him. Hoseok, like Jimin, was in silent tears, and Namjoon was staring at the floor with sadness in his eyes, unable to say anything.

But all six of them knew one ground fact, even though no one was speaking. They all knew something about the broken hearted, pining, blank, brown haired boy sitting amidst them.

They knew.
Even he knew.

That Kim Taehyung was breaking apart without you.
