Kim Taehyung

Song: Villain by Social Repose

After he heard the terrible news, all he remembered was his vision fading to black. He must have passed out. When he woke, it took him a few seconds to remember what had happened. Then it hit him.

*Flashback*

It was 7 pm in the afternoon, and Taehyung and the other members were just finishing of dinner, when he suddenly felt his phone vibrate in his pocket. He looked to see who it was and saw it was their manager. He frowned, why would he call him at this hour? He answered the call.

"Hey," he said. "What is it? You never call this late."

"Taehyung... something terrible has happened."

Taehyung began to feel worried now. What could it be?

"What happened?" he asked. "Tell me please."

"Taehyung... your friend Lee Ui Soo was found dead in his apartment earlier this afternoon. There was nothing they could do. I'm so sorry."

He felt his blood fade from his cheeks, and his phone slipped through his numb finger, and hit the floor with a soft bonk. This attracted the other members' attention.

"V- hyung, what is it?" Jungkook asked immediately, but he didn't respond, he couldn't. All eyes were on him now. He felt himself grow weak, and the last thing he saw before it all turned black, was the other members reaching for him in what seemed slow motion.

*End flashback*

He was fully awake in a matter of seconds when the reality of the situation hit him like a truck. He collapsed back on the bed, his shoulders shaking as he sobbed his eyes out. His screaming must have been very loud, because within 10 seconds all the other members were in the room looking sad and worried. Namjoon, being the good leader he is, walked up to him and embraced him. He didn't know long he had been crying. It could have been 10 minutes and it could have been an hour. But all that he knew that was important is that his frien- his family stayed with him the entire time, like he knew they would.

That was 6 months ago. Quickly after that ordeal, Taehyung fell into the bottomless pit called depression. He blamed himself for his friend's death. If he had just noticed the signs, maybe he could have stopped him from doing it in the first place. It didn't take long before the pain became unbearable, so he escaped his mind through the only way he knew: alcohol. Soon, a day couldn't go by without him being drunk at least once, sometimes twice. Furniture had to be replaced weekly because alcohol and anger did not mix well. He often couldn't controle himself, what then led to him having anger outbursts. When that happened, the other members hid in their bedrooms, not wanting to be an accidental target. They have tried to get him help multiple times, but he simply refused to cooperate, saying he's fine, but no one believes him. He felt like he was a burden to them. They have always been so kind to him. They don't deserve him. ARMYs tweet about him, wanting to know if he's okay. Their questions always stay unanswered. Even with all that was going on, Taehyung still believed everything would turn out fine. Oh how wrong he was.

It was New Years Eve and Taehyung was sitting on the couch by himself, drunk (as usual). Suddenly he noticed Jungkook walking up to him with a glass of water. Just as he was about to give it to him, Jungkook tripped , and the glass of water fell into his lap, ruining his new pants. Taehyung didn't even remember standing up. He only realized what he had done when he looked down to his hands, specifically, his knuckles. They were covered in blood, Jungkook's blood. He only looked up when he heard the footsteps of multiple coming towards where he was standing. What he saw, he will never forget. He saw Jungkook being supported by Jimin, holding his bloody face. He knew that the frightened looks on their faces will haunt him for the rest of his life.
