Going out to meet Taehyung became a regular thing for Jungkook. It was effortless for him to make excuses; he would say he's going to Jimin's, which wasn't the least bit suspicious because he did stay at his house a fair amount in the past.

Jungkook met Taehyung at the nearby beach (their designated spot). It was around evening when the sunset was at it's finest. The large sun peered orange, yellow, and red over the rippling water. The two liked the capture the view as they conversed. They would begin by talking nonsense, and then end up speaking about their life stories. Jungkook even told Taehyung about his mother; he only tells people he finds trustworthy and feels exceptionally close to.

The following week the couple met again. Taehyung felt that the two truly became close, and he wanted to express it to Jungkook properly. He did have one, rather large secret that he needed to share in order to gain the younger's trust.

"So, Jungkook..."

He started in a more concerned tone.

"Uh, yeah?"

Jungkook questioned in a puzzled state. Taehyung never sounded so serious.

"You know you can trust me with anything, right?"

The latter gazed into Jungkook's dark, chocolate eyes with an intense aura.

"Y-yeah, I trust you."

Taehyung wanted to be convinced by the reply, but he couldn't find the relief in himself. Nonetheless, he proceeded with the risky secret.

"Okay... I'm not actually cured."

The words felt like punches to Jungkook. He had to take a moment to let the words sink into his mind. It seemed impossible for Taehyung not to be cured, therefore Jungkook refused to believe he wasn't cured.

"What? Yes, you are. You have the scar behind your ear that means you're cured-"

"It's fake, I used a scalpel- but listen, Jungkook-"

Taehyung attempted to approach Jungkook in a gentle manner, afraid he would break the fragile, scared boy in front of him. The younger backed away with a disgusted feeling built up inside him, as if he suddenly didn't know the person standing before him. He turned around and ran off, not wanting to look back to that place and that person.

Jungkook's busy mind kept him up at night; he haunted himself with the scariest thought, one that he never would've pictured to think of himself: 'do I have deliria?' All his other thoughts were branched off the fact that he caught the deliria disease.

'Would I really know if I had deliria? What if I end up like mom? This is all Taehyung's fault, why would he pretend to be cured and drag me into this? All I ever wanted in life was to be cured, but now I'm not so sure anymore...WAIT, am I just going to ignore the fact that I think I have deliria because of a man? Am I gay? Oh my god, I think I might be. But I have to marry a woman when I'm cured... Maybe I really do have deliria.'
