Always You

Memories In Polaroids

  he's been gone for quite some time. although jungkook does not know how long he's been gone, it's obvious that it's unusual. the younger male stands up from the couch, looking to find taehyung. but, he gets a bit...sidetracked. across from the couch stands a fireplace. on the mantlepiece, a large selection of framed photos stand, and above it, there's an assortment of polaroids that he had not paid attention to at first. upon closer inspection, they are in fact family photos, but most of them consist of taehyung and some other male. jungkook looks over the family photos first. they're just regular family photos. but at the same time, they're not. it's clear that taehyung is much happier in them, and he does not appear that much younger, so, what happened? hoseok said himself that taehyung has changed since last year. but, why? would someone willingly become so depressing and cut off? no ... of course not. why did he? jungkook moves on to the polaroids. each has some word or sentence written at the bottom along with a date. they're lined up in chronological order. he starts from the first, going down the line of dates. 'jimin's birthday -10/13/08' in it, there's a young boy with dark hair. he's smiling at the camera as he stands in ankle deep water. the second was taken on the same day. the handwriting on this one is different though. 'taehyung's best birthday present yet! -10/13/08' the same boy from the last photo holds the camera selfie-style, his arm is around another young boy, taehyung. the two are grinning as if they had been laughing when the photo was taken. the photos continue on all the way until this year. they stop on june first. 'i love my boyfriend taehyung, you're the best, i love you -06/01/18' the 'i love you' is written in all caps. i assume that taehyung had been dating this person. jimin. wait...jimin. isn't that the name of the person hoseok mentioned yesterday...
