"Oh God," Jin muttered, tears building up in his eyes. Namjoon wrapped his arms around Jin to calm him.

"W-What is it?" I asked. Jin looked at me, as if just noticing my presence.

"Taehyung, I think it's best if you-"

"Please, hyung. I need to know," I pleaded. Jin opened his mouth, but Namjoon stopped him, sighing.

"He has to know."

Jin bit his lip and didn't protest.

"D-Doctor?" I said, urging him to continue. He sighed and looked at his clipboard sadly.

"I'm afraid his cancer has gotten worse... He... only has about 2 months left at most."

Jin broke out sobbing, Namjoon hugged him tighter and letting his own tears fall.

I didn't know what to do.

"Now y-you know..." Jin said to me. I shook my head.

"N-No, it's not real. Y-You're lying!" I screamed, pulling my hair.

"Sir-"

I ran. I ran despite the shouts and calls from Jin and Namjoon.

I ran down the stairs and out the dreaded building.

I exited the sliding doors and looked up at the dark sky that was peppered with stars.

"Why? Why him?" I asked, looking up at the sky. "Why?!"

"Why Jungkook? Why my Kookie?"

The world was cruel, to say the least.

I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned around to see Jin standing there behind me, tears still flowing down from his eyes.

Out of anger and disbelief, I'd almost forgotten that I wasn't the only one in grief.

"T-This is why he left me?" I asked. Jin nodded sadly.

"Jungkook didn't want to hurt you... So the day before we left for America to seek better treatment for him, he broke up with you.

But his feelings for you never left.

After three years, we thought it was gone. We thought he was fine. So we moved back here so he could live normally.

It wasn't until the day he moved into the house that we realised... It came back."

"Is this why... He avoided me?" I asked.

"Yes, Tae. He never wanted to hurt you. If he did, it was never his intention."

Jin pulled me into a hug. I hugged him back and cried on his shoulder.

"It's okay. Shh," he cooed, rubbing my back gently.

"I've been mean to him this whole time and-"

"I know you didn't mean to be, Tae."

My eyes stung.

My throat was dry.

And my heart hurt.
