A few weeks later:

I gasp awake like I had no oxygen to breathe in, my eyes were dry- crusted even. I couldn't feel my limbs, they were numb. My hair was plastered on to my forehead, almost glued with sweat. I blink a few times and pant, where was I? Looking around, I see my belongings, along with someone else's, Taehyung's. I peel myself off of the bed and observe my surroundings, everything was dusty. One of the window blinds were broken, the bed I was just on, clean and made. Everything was left untouched besides a broken picture frame of Taehyung and I. My face scrunched up in confusion. Who broke this?

I pick up the photo and smile at it, as it brought back old memories, it was of Taehyung smiling ear to ear with me giving him a piggy back ride. He looked so happy. Putting the photo on the bed, I decide to take a shower, not worrying about the broken glass from the frame. When I walk inside the bathroom, after grabbing different clothing to change into. I first notice myself in the mirror.

My face looked horrible, I had circles under my eyes. The skin was dry, unmoisturised. "Ew.." I looked over myself. "Jeez, I really need to clean myself off. " Shaking my head, I stripped off my clothes and got into the shower.

After some fresh clothing and washing myself over. I looked like myself again. Walking back outside the bathroom, I look at the broken glass on the floor, "I better clean this up before Tae steps on it and hurts himself." I thought of Tae. His dark hair dyed various colors over time. His bright smile that could light up anyone's day. His childish behavior with everyone, even though it could be annoying sometimes. Speaking of annoying..

"Jimin! Where are you?" I laugh at my slight insult, putting the broken glass in the trash can. I open the door and start out in the hallway with all of our rooms in it, I live with six other boys in this apartment, seven, including me. I first stop in front of Jin and Yoongi's room, knocking on the door, I step into the room. "Jin? Yoongi?" I roll my eyes at Yoongi's side of the room, a mess, while Jin's side was squeaky clean. I moved on, seeing there was no one there. J-Hope and Namjoon's room was next in the hallway, Jimin's room was last. I knock on their door and hear nothing in return. Respecting their privacy anyway, I dont open the door, instead, I go to the last room. Jimin's room. I know he's probably not here- or any of them to be honest. -but I open the door anyway.

My eyes widening at what I saw. I thought everyone was gone?

"Tae?"

Taehyung was on Jimin's bed, cuddling a pillow. His hair tousled in his face, mouth slightly parted as he slept. I crept over to the side of the bed and kneeled down next to him. "What happened last night?" I whispered, "Was it so bad that you couldn't come back to our room?" I raise my hand up to his face, slowly. Hesitantly. Not wanting to disturb him. When he flinched, he curled up into the pillow. I quietly chuckle at his cuteness, lightly brushing a few strands of hair out of his face. Tae sighed in his sleep, then sniffles, almost like he was crying. Taking a better look at his face, there were dried tear stains plastered in trail like ways down his cheeks.

"Jungkook..." Tae sniffled again, my heart breaking at the sight. I jump up, worried, and slowly take the pillow away from his, dropping it onto the floor next to me.

"I'm right here..." I whisper and climb into the bed with him, feeling his warmth. He cuddled up closer to me. I wrap my arms around his waist, hugging him, pulling him in tight. What did I do last night? Did we fight? Did I break up with him? No.. No, I would never do that.

The crying stopped after a while. I was petting Tae's hair and admiring his face, his eyes were closed, the tears were still stained on his face. He looked so peaceful. I quietly take his hands off of my waist and place them onto the mattress, quickly followed by his leg that was in between mine. Careful not to wake him, I walk out of the room and make myself a spot on my side of the couch. No one usually sits here but me, I like to think that everyone has a specific spot on the couch or on the floor in the living room. Yoongi gets the small couch with Jimin by his side, Taehyung next to me on the big couch with Jin, and Namjoon and J-Hope on the floor in front of us.

I close my eyes, trying to remember what I did for Taehyung to not go to our room. My thoughts were interrupted by a door opening and closing, water running, then Taehyung walking out of Jimin's room. Taehyung heads straight for the kitchen to make some coffee, with me following behind him and sitting down on one of the stools. I watch him with curiosity before greeting him. "Good morning." I try not to act happy or sad, not wanting to say the wrong thing and bring up something.

Taehung just continues to make his coffee, stirring the sugar in. It was like he didn't even notice I was there.

"Taehyung?" I ask, trying to get his attention, "Hello? I'm right here."

Taehyung still doesn't answer and sips on his freshly brewed coffee. His eyes fluttering shut as he took a deep breath.

"Are you mad at me, Tae?" The smile now dropped from my face, I was staring into his eyes as they stared blankly back. He looked his he was deep in thought, like he couldn't even see me. Once he finished his coffee, I noticed he was already dressed for the day. Dumping his cup into the sink, Tae grabbed his keys and headed for the door. My eyes followed his every move.

"Tae, where are you going? Don't you want to wait until the others get back?" I ask before he slams the door closed. I could hear the car start up and drive away, leaving me in silence.

I take a deep breath and stare at the door. "I wish I knew what to do so I could make you forgive me for what ever I did." I whisper and turn back to the counter.

What did I do?
