Jeongguk was admitted to the hospital for two weeks. His arm hadn't healed properly, and the doctors had to check on him often, so they decided to keep him there for that long.
Taehyung first vistited Jeongguk two days after being admitted, the guilt of being the reason his best friend broke his arm eating him up, only to be replaced by the building guilt of not visiting him. It was his mother who finally brought him to the hospital. He entered the hospital room that the nurses had guided him to, only to be met by Jeongguk laying in the white hospital bed.
The younger instantly looked up at the visitors from a book as the door opened. At first Taehyung didn't dare look at Jeongguk, still feeling guilty about the incident. But when his eyes finally met with the younger's, his face was plastered with the biggest smile.
"I didn't think you would show!" Jeongguk uttered, as he struggled to get out of the bed. Taehyung immediately rushed over to the smaller to help him.
"Why would you think that silly? O-of course I would come visit," Taehyung muttered as Jeongguk looked up at him, only to embrace him in a hug. Jeongguk immediately returned the hug, it being a reflex already. "I really missed you. The cabin is no fun without you."
"Good thing I'm getting discharged tomorrow then! The doctors said that my arm finally seems to be healing correctly." Jeongguk squealed into the older's chest. Taehyung smiled down at him, before breaking the hug, grabbing both of his hands.
"I'll be waiting at the cabin this time."

The next day Taehyung was in fact waiting at the cabin before Jeongguk arrived, and the next, and the next.
Jeongguk was glad that he didn't have to wait for Taehyung to arrive anymore, but he also felt a knot in his stomach at the older obviously feeling guilty. Jeongguk had already told him countless times how it was all good, but Taehyung just brushed him off, telling him that he didn't mind waiting for Jeongguk.
The time slowly passed, and slowly Jeongguk's arm had healed fully. And then it was time for summer vacation.
The days were spent in a bliss, and Taehyung and Jeongguk spent most days together. Taehyung had to go on a vacation with his family in near the end, but promised that he would be home for Jeongguk's birthday. And he kept his promise, very proud of himself.
"Happy birthday Gukkie!" The older exclaimed as he jumped into the arms of the younger, hugging the life out of him. Jeongguk let himself be manhandled, as he stood in the entrance of the his house.
Unlike Taehyung's birthday, Jeongguk's mother had allowed for Taehyung to be part of the entirety of the special day. Not like Jeongguk had a lot of guests who came to celebrate him anyway, and Jeongguk's mother had also been very excited when Taehyung had asked.
Together with Jeongguk's mother, Taehyung had planned a surprise. It was a tiny upgrade to the cabin, a bed loft, sponsored by Taehyung's family. Since it was Jeongguk's birthday, they called it a 'birthday gift', but in reality it was also just for Jeongguk and his mother, since they had been so welcoming to Taehyung and his family from day one.
Taehyung had overheard a phone call between his and Jeongguk's mother about the upgrade. Originally it was supposed to be not only to the cabin, but Jeongguk's house too. But from what Taehyung had interpreted, Jeongguk's mother had refused, only wanting her son's cabin to be upgraded.
But why? Taehyung had instantly thought. Why wouldn't Jeongguk's mother want a simple house upgrade? A luxurious one at that.
Taehyung shrugged off the thought, returning to reality, as he looked into the big brown orbs of the younger, excitement shining through them.
"Come, I have something to show you." Taehyung said to the younger, before grabbing his hand, and leading him to the hideout for his surprise.

Summer in the woods was one of the most beautiful things one could experience. The way the sunlight danced over the spruce branches, and ended on the crumbled leaves laying in the dirt. The sound of birds chirping away during daytime, and owls howling whilst looking for the dinner during nighttime. And the chatter of two happy children, running by the lake, trying to explore what has yet to be explored by them.
But soon summer was gone, and autumn took over. The leaves of the few oak trees fell to the ground, and semi-exotic birds fled the state to go south. And school started.
It was Taehyung's 4th year in Elementary school, therefore his last. Next year came the Middle school. Taehyung hadn't heard much about middle school, except for the few things his big sister had said about it when she attended. But she was a high school freshman now, and her elementary school days were far gone.
He remembered her talking about how the middle school days had been the best, especially the later years. Taehyung doubted her. She had gone to a private middle school, moving from the public during her first year after advice from a family friend. Taehyung wondered about whether he would have to go to a private middle school too.
He didn't want to, because he wanted to go with Jeongguk.
But where was Jeongguk going? The city had many different facilities to offer, and Jeongguk and Taehyung hadn't talked about middle school's a lot. In fact they had never even mentioned anything around each other, about middle school choices. Obviously Jeongguk wouldn't. He was going in one and a half years, whilst Taehyung was going in a half.
Reality suddenly hit him.
He was going to another school in half a year. Whether or not it was a private school, it was another school than Jeongguk. Anything could happen in a year. Jeongguk could find new friends, he could move to another country, or worst of all. He could invite another friend to the cabin.
Taehyung wouldn't allow for that to happen. Ever. Even if it meant none of the two going there anymore.
At least that would be better than one going without the other.

Hello! Welcome to the mess of a chapter that I mixed together this time, lol. I'm trying to speed up the time, but like, I have so many things I cannot miss in the story, which is why I'm not just saying '7 years later'. I'm trying to make it semi-realistic (and failing lmaooo)
I'm going to Ireland for 10 days tomorrow, and so I'm trying to update at least once before my 10 day absence (oops). (But I am trying to write another chapter before 2AM, so you might get another update in 5 days, instead of 10 days, but I cannot promise anything sorry <3 <3 <3)
Also 2,4K??? Seriously?? I love you guys. Trust me, I read every single comment, and although I might not respond to them all, you can trust me when I say that you're my inspiration!
Don't forget to vote and comment since it means the world to an author like me! <333
