Chapter 15: Sad Love

Taehyung's POV

"Hyung! Come and help me set the table! Jungkook will be here soon!" Jimin shouted.

Sigh. I don't wanna see Jungkook. I don't want to hurt him again. If I see him and he cries, I might not be able to forgive myself. So I decided to leave the house instead. I grabbed my jacket and headed outside.

"I'm going to the club! Don't wait for me! I'll be late!" I bid goodbye to Jimin who was too busy preparing the food.

"But Hyung—"

I headed to the nearest pharmacy and bought more pain killers.

I was about to open the door when I saw a new pair of shoes on the doorstep.

Jungkook might still be here, I'll just pretend to be drunk.

"Heyyyy!!! Turn up! Turn up! Let's partaaayyyyy!" I yelled as I tried to walk straight before falling into a pair of arms.

"Are you okay? Why did you drink so much?" Jungkook asked me as he held my shoulders.

"Yah! Can you do me a favor and get lost? I don't want to see your face ever again! That's why I resigned!" I yelled as I yanked Jungkook's grip on me.

I'm sorry Jungkook. But you can't be with me. I'll only give you a hard time. It's better this way. I'd like for you to forget about me and hate me. I don't want you to live miserably with me. As much as I want to be with you, I can't. Not this way.

I quickly headed to my room and cried my eyes out until I fell asleep.

The loud ringing of my phone brought me to consciousness.

"Hello? Who is this—" I mumbled as I rub my eyes.

"YAH! Do you know how hard it is for me? I mean how can you call me your bestfriend? Why do you make me look like a fool? Why do you make me confused? If you don't like me then why did you treat me so well?" He cried.

He was drunk. I knew who it was. But I couldn't say anything to him. I wanted to shout out to the world that I like him too, but I couldn't. All I could say was...

"It's because you were so pitiful! At first, I thought that you were just playing with me, so I played along. But I didn't know that your feelings were sincere. So it's practically your fault!"

"Yeah, you're right. I must be crazy! How can I like someone like you? Between the both of us, you know what? You're really the pitiful one! And...you want me to get lost? FINE! I will!" He hanged up.

I held my chest and cried. I'm so sorry Jungkook, I really am. You don't know how hard it is for me to hold myself back from saying the things I really want to say. But...I know that you're having a hard time too. Probably even worse than that. Seeing that you're drunk, you must be really upset. (He only drinks when he's frustrated).

"Tae? Tae? Are you awake now?" A familiar voice said as I tried to get up, my body sore.

I opened my eyes and looked at my surroundings. I. Was. At. The. Hospital.

"Hyung, you need to rest. Just stay still"

"W-what h-ha-happened?" I asked as I layed back again.

"One morning, I was trying to wake you up and you wouldn't even flinch. I got worried then saw how pale you are. I rushed you to the hospital and you've been asleep for three days straight." Jimin sighed as he held my hand.

I yanked his hand and stood up.

"Hy—"

"Don't worry, I'm just going to take a walk," I interrupted before he could nag me more.

I went outside and looked around the hospital. I stopped at a certain room and smiled to myself.

This is the room wherein I snuggled with Jungkook until we both fell asleep. I was about to leave when someone opened the door.

"Jungkook-ssi? What are you doing here? Are you okay?"

"Just. Please. Stop. Stop acting like you care about me. Stop acting like I mean something to you. Please." Jungkook sighed as he turned around to go back inside.

"But—but what if I do?"

Jungkook knitted his eyebrows together and I gazed at him.

I missed you. It's nice to see you, even in this way.

"Hyung! There you are! I've been looking for you everywhere!" Jimin yelled as he ran towards me.

"Oh! Jungkook-ssi? What's wrong? Why are you here?" Jimin looked at Jungkook while Jungkook looked at me.

"Because of him," Jungkook pointed at me and I shrugged.

What does he mean by that? Did I make him sick?

"Hyung, you head back first" Jimin added as he pushed me away.

"What did he say?" I asked Jimin as I patted the area next to my bed.

He was about to sit next to me, but I stopped him.

"Sorry, but this seat's for someone else."

It's for Jungkook. Just like how he hugged me tightly when I slept on his chest.

"He said that he refused to eat for the past few days and just collapsed," Jimin sighed.

Jungkook's POV

After talking to Jimin. I keep feeling like I'm talking to Taehyung and suddenly, a thought came into mind. What did he mean by that? And... why is Taehyung here? Again? Aish, he's been in the hospital lately. I wonder what's wrong. So I headed to his room.

"Jimin, leukemia is cancer. There's still no known cure for it, I. AM. NOT. RECEIVING. TREATMENT. For the hundrieth time, please stop forcing me to do it."

I froze at the statement. I was standing outside his door and I couldn't believe what I heard. Before I knew it, I fell on my knees. And burried my head on my hands. Crying.
