LOVE ME.

seven.

hi everyone! i really want to talk about something real quick.

so yesterday one of the books i had in my library was being deleted because it was based on melanie martinez, and the author didn't want to support her anymore, which i'm all for.

someone in the comments was being a real, wholesome bitchass, being super immature and really supporting rape.

i just want to say, if your fave messed up, your fave messed up. you can't defend them for what they did. supporting rape is never right, so if you support rape, please leave.

sorry for letting you read this mini rant, but this issue was just really bothering me.

okay, back to the story! hope you enjoy this chapter!

taehyung had woken up to a series of skinny wires attached to his arms. he was hooked to an iv, the liquid in the bag dripping continuously. the small and tired boy tried to get up from his bed, but because his body was too sore, he sank back down into the flat mattress.

his leg was broken, but nothing else was. it was a miracle, really, how he hadn't died.

the boy was sad though. he hoped he would die to speed up the process.

he didn't want the help. he gingerly stood up from his bed, grimacing when he tore off the wires. before he could escape the hospital room, though, a tall man had entered the room.

seokjin?

"hi, taehyung. you're probably wondering how you're here. luckily, i was shopping nearby and saw you fall. i volunteer at your school, by the way." seokjin took a breath, tears suddenly filling his gentle eyes. he held taehyung's small hands.

"please, taehyung, take care of yourself."

taehyung didn't reply.

seokjin helped taehyung in the hospital for two weeks before he came back to school.

i guess i have to wait until next week.

two weeks later, taehyung came back to school, broken leg and all. he could hear the whispers about him being involved in a car accident, but when he shot his glare towards the people, all voices were hushed.

he attended all his classes, and at the end of the day, he was almost home before jeongguk had stopped him.

"hey. heard you were out for two whole weeks. are you seriously skipping school? that's really fucking pathetic, you know. how would your dad feel, if he knew you were just skipping school?" jeongguk said the words so bluntly, taehyung couldn't help but explode.

"please, just stop! what did i do to you? i was at the hospital, you jerk! what happened to you?! you changed, and i hate it! hurt me all you want, just please, d-don't use my d-ad to- to hurt m-me." taehyung was now sobbing, cursing himself for accepting seokjin's care.

he just wanted it to end already. and he was going to do it soon.

jeongguk, on the other hand, was shocked. the small memory of him comforting taehyung suddenly appeared in his head, startling himself.

"kookie! where's daddy?! i can't find him, and m-mommy is crying!" taehyung was bawling on the swing set, his small hands curled up into fists around the raven-haired boy's waist.

"shh, it's okay, tae-tae. i'll stay with you, don't cry... if you cry, the angels won't be able to take care of your daddy." his small hands wrapped around taehyung's neck, pulling the now-sniffling boy's head into the crook of his neck.

"your daddy is in heaven, taehyungie. we have to be happy for him."

"thank you, kookie," sniff. "i love you so, so, much. promise to stay with tae-tae?" taehyung held his pinky finger out, waiting for jeongguk to pinky promise him.

the bunny boy smiled. he held out his pinky and entwined it around taehyung's small finger, connecting their thumbs at the same time.

"pinky promise."

the raven-haired boy came back to reality, watching taehyung wipe his tears away and walk home. he felt guilty, looking down to his pinky on his right hand. he sighed, wanting to follow taehyung.

but he knew he didn't have the right to.
