Friends ➸ Vhope

"So I could take the back road"
__________________________

It's been days since that incident occurred and Hoseok felt terrible. He hasn't left his house in days. He was swimming in guilt and felt disgusted knowing that he did that while Taehyung had a girlfriend. How would Jo react if she found out. He would have ruined their friendship before it even had the chance to develop.

He felt terrible about the whole situation. He regretted it. He really did. Taehyung hasn't even talked to him since it happened. He hasn't even come over. It was like he didn't even exist anymore. He felt dirty and ashamed.

Not only because it happened with someone in a relationship but because it happened with Taehyung, his best friend who's been around forever. The same person who he's put band-aids on, made mud pies with, and became a 'jungle explorer' with. All of their sweet, innocent moments were turned into this.

Hoseok thought that this was what he wanted but he was so wrong. This has by far been the worst thing that could've ever happened. It was enough to bring him into deep dark hole of depression.

Isn't it crazy how one mistake can cost you everything? Your happiness, your pride, your friends. Hoseok felt as if he was nothing without Taehyung.

Not only was he in love with him but he loved him like a brother and he couldn't be without his younger brother.

His Taetae.

Hoseok looked at the picture of Taehyung on the nightstand and couldn't take it anymore. He went over to it and threw it across the room, watching the frame shatter. After that he pulled everything that reminded him of Taehyung down. Photographs, stuffed animals, jewlery, etc. Pretty much the whole room reminded him of the younger.

"Why did you do this to me?!" He yelled at nothing. Hoseok slid his back down the wall and curled into a ball, clutching his chest and crying his eyes out. After it all he still loved Taehyung and he couldn't figure out why. He continued to cry until he fell asleep.

"HOSEOK!! YOU CAN'T DIE ON ME!"

What?

"GET UP!"

Did Taehyung finally come back?

"PLEASE..."

Why do I feel so weak?

I slowly opened my eyes and saw Taehyung hovering over me. "T-Tae" I said in a low tone. Taehyung's eyes widened and he hugged me. "Hobi! I thought I lost you. You shouldn't play with people's emotions like that" he scolded. I could hear the sadness in his voice as he spoke. "What are we doing back here? Didn't you bring me back home after we..." I trailed off.

"What are you talking about?" Taehyung asked with a confused expression. "You almost died just now! You jumped in after me like an idiot knowing that you can't swim! Why would you put yourself at risk like that?! I thought I lost you.."

"So we never left?"

"Um, no. You were out cold"

"And the house isn't trashed?"

"I don't think it is.."

"And we didn't have sex?!"
