Hoseok sighed as he looked at the boy in front of him, his demeanour turned quiet. He hadn't acted like this in weeks. What could have happened to make it turn like this? Hoseok's breath hitched for a second as he considered maybe that he was the reason behind this. But, there was nothing that he did that was hurtful, was there? Maybe he asked Taehyung to come over too soon, before he was ready. Though, if that were true, wouldn't Taehyung have not agreed to come over?
Hoseok looked around, the place seeming familiar; an alleyway.
Hoseok gasped as it suddenly hit him; what exactly this place was.
'Well, what are the chances of me seeing you here, Taehyung-ie.'
Hoseok looked down, ashamed, only to be greeted with the sight of the pavement, the same pavement that he'd beaten Taehyung into. Sudden images; blood, gravel and bruises, sounds of sobs; screaming and crying, all recollecting in his mind. All from one boy. The one who stood next to him, with his head hung low, tapping nervously as he sighs.
"Taehyung," Hoseok spoke quietly into the night air. "I... I can't forgive myself for what happened that day." Taehyung looked up confused, his eyes finally landing on the alleyway. Taehyung's body stiffened, before he let out a deep breath.
"It's fine-"
"It's not fine. It will never be fine." Hoseok announced. "I was a fucking monster." He said. "It's like... Urgh." Hoseok cut himself off. "I-I don't deserve to have you as a friend right now, you're so... forgiving, kind, caring- how can you you be so nice to me after everything I did to you? I don't understand it..."
Taehyung stared at the other.
"You changed back." Taehyung said simply. Hoseok stared back, blinking confused. Taehyung let out a heavy breath staring up at the stars. "Do you remember back when we were kids, you'd come over my house for the night and after everyone had fallen asleep, we would just lie down, staring up at the stars." Taehyung reminisced. Hoseok smiled looking up at the sky.
"Didn't we create a future from constellations?" Hoseok remembered. Taehyung grinned. "A house..." Hoseok pointed up. "...I said that I'd buy you that house."
"Yeah, I said you'd have to live with me." Taehyung laughed, drawing the constellation out between each star with his fingertip.
"Oh, and then there was a 'T' for Taehyung." Hoseok closed one eye pointing it out with his finger.
"'H' for Hoseok." Taehyung pointed next to the constellation of the 'T' and showed a smaller one, displaying an awkwardly shaped H. "But I got upset because my 'H' was smaller than your 'T.'" Taehyung giggled, Hoseok laughing with him. "And there was another one right...?"
"Yeah... Oh, there!" Hoseok shouted, to the far corner of the sky.
There, littered within the hundreds of stars shining in the sky was one set of starts all ordered to look like a heart shape. Hoseok drew around it. "Heart!" He beamed. Taehyung smiled, pointing up to it.
"Heart."

"Hey Tae-Tae!" Hoseok chirped, laying flat on his back to point to the stars. "You see that house there? When I'm rich and famous, I'll buy you that house."
"Woooow, awesome." Taehyung breathed. "But I'd probably get lonely by myself."
"Don't worry Tae, I could live with you!"
"Really?!" Taehyung gasped, amazed. "Wow. We could... We could buy a huge TV, and a fountain that shoots lemonade! We could have, like... a family!" He beamed.
