"Hello? Ya Taehyung? Where are you right now?"
"At the grocery store."
"Doing what at this hour?"
"Shopping for some veggies. And I got late because I had work. So what do you want Hoseok?"
"*sigh* I hadn't talked to you for so long..."
"O-kay"
"Listen come home fast. I'm waiting for you."
"What!? at my place?"
"Yes"
Taehyung quickly picked up some spinach and capsicum and headed towards the counter.
"Okay. Be there at 10."
He kept the phone.

"Hoseok? Come in." Taehyung unlocked the door and went into his apartment.
Hoseok sat down on the couch and looked at Taehyung unpack the vegetables.
"So... How come? And oh. Did you get invited to the wedding?"
"No I didnt."
"Because I did the decorations there. It was hectic but I'll be going there day after for the marriage and oh right, sorry I forgot to ask , you want something to-"
"I'm going to Daegu day after. Come with me. "
Taehyung stopped unpacking and looked at Hoseok.
"W-what? You can't be serious."
Hoseok got up from his seat and headed towards Taehyung.
"Look Taehyung. It is going to kill you mentally to see Jungkook get married okay? Come with me to Daegu Taehyung. You've got your friends there! Remember Jin and Namjoon? You have more! Min ho and Suho.... So many. Do you seriously want to just rot here? Taehyung come with me and Mia."
Taehyung started panicking deep down.
He wanted to leave but not before Jungkook said "I do" to finally confirm. He wasn't even sure if he wanted to leave after the wedding... He wanted to be there in the same place as Jungkook...
"But-"
"No Taehyung. You decide tomorrow."
Hoseok patted Taehyung's shoulder and gave him a hug.
"Taehyung be around people who enjoy your company. Not around people who tolerate you."
After Hoseok left the house Taehyung fell to his knees and sobbed his eyes out.
As much as he didn't want to believe Hoseok , he was right.
Finally making up his mind, he called Jungkook.
*ring**ring*
"Taehyung...?"
Taehyung was trying to speak but at the same time trying to prevent from gasping for air after crying for so long.
"J...*hic* Jungkook?"
"Are you crying?"
"..."
"Taehyung are you crying ?"
"..."
"Answer me."
"..."
"Tae,please?"
Taehyung rubbed his tears away.
Jungkook was calling for him so sweetly and this was the first time he said "Tae".
"Please come by tomorrow at around 7 pm at your company terrace. I will be waiting."
"...okay."
Taehyung cut the phone.
Jungkook on the other hand had just reached from Osaka and was at the airport when Taehyung called.
He was so worried about Taehyung.
Taehyung was not suicidal, Jungkook hoped, but Jungkook couldn't bear to hear Taehyung cry.
Especially not when he's alone or with Hoseok.
After half and hour or so when he was on his way home in his car.
He called Taehyung.
*ring**ring**ring**ring**ring**ri-*
"I said tomorrow didn't I?"
Jungkook smiled at himself.
"Hey." Jungkook said.
"..."
"How are you?"
"..."
"Do you miss me Taehyung-ah?"
"..."
"Do you miss me every Monday morning?"
"..."
"Do you try texting me but delete it before sending?"
"..."
"Do you find it hard to look at yourself in the mirror because you think you did me wrong when you were drunk?"
"..."
"Do you hate yourself?"
"I...*HIC* I...."
"Tae don't cry..."
"Let's *HIC* meet tom*HIC*orrow"
"Okay... Don't cry Tae"
"Bye."
"Bye Taehyung ah."
Jungkook kept the phone and sighed.
Maybe meeting Taehyung was the best thing that ever happened to me.
