Distant.

That's what happened. Ever since that day Taehyung kept his distance away from me. He doesn't even sleep in the room anymore. He always sleeps on the couch and I don't know why. I didn't do or say anything wrong. At least I don't think I did. Some nights he won't even come home and when I call he won't answer. I worry about him.

What if he hates me now?

What if he's going to move out?

Oh no. This is my fault. This is all my fault! I can't live without Taehyung. I swear I'm going to die here alone. If he moved out I'd never get over it. I'd spend everyday worrying.

I buried my face in my pillow and cried for about the millionth time today. My heart was physically hurting. My chest was extremely tight and every time I thought about it my heartbeat slowed down a bit. I'm pretty sure that my pillow wanted nothing more to do with me.

Suddenly, the door opened. When I turned my head and saw that it was Taehyung. I quickly wiped away my tears and pulled the blanket over my head. "So you suddenly decided to come home and you don't even say hello to me" I stated a bit harshly. "Hi" he said plainly.

I quickly got off the bed and threw my tear stained pillow at him. "What is up with you? If this is because of what I said I take it back. I don't love you like that, okay? If this is what our friendship has come to, are we even friends? Do you even want to be friends? Ugh forget it."

I was about to lay back down when Taehyung took hold of my arm. When I turned around to look at him, he used his free hand to cup my cheek and kissed me. And it wasn't even like last time. Not even close. I turned my head and walked away only to be yanked back.

P.s: I legit hate when he does that.

"What do you want?" I asked. Taehyung walked toward me. "What do I want? I want you to tell me how you really feel. Do you like me or not. It's not rocket science. I just want an answer."

"Why don't you answer that question? Do you like me or not"

"I asked first"

"Okay. Well no"

"Well I don't like you either"

"Then why the hell do you keep on kissing me?? Why do you keep on asking me that? You do realize that you have a girlfriend, right? I don't understand why you're still here with me when you have Jo. You guys are the perfect match"

"I don't understand either"

I looked down as I felt all my anger and sadness surfacing. "Just go away" I told him, avoiding all eye contact. "Are you sure that you want that to happen?" He asked, tapping his foot ever so slightly. I stayed silent.

Do I want that to happen?

Hoseok stood in the doorway, debating whether or not he should go. Taehyung on the other hand was watching his every move. He kept note of his facial expressions, body language, and barely audible words that managed to slither their way through his lips. If Hoseok walked away, so would he. He really cared about his hyung but he wouldn't put him through any unnecessary trouble.
