"Oh Jungkook. Come in." Jakyung says opening the door wider.

"How are you Ms. Chae?" Jungkook asks bowing politely.

"I'm well. Taehyung's just in his room. I'm not sure if he's awake. The medication they gave him puts him right to sleep." Jakyung says leading Jungkook down the hall.

Taehyung's door is open and she knocks lightly. "Taehyung? Jungkook's here for you."

Taehyung's eyes fly open at the mention of Jungkook.

"I can come back if he's asleep." Jungkook says from behind Jakyung.

"No." Taehyung says turning to face the door. "I'm awake."

Jakyung smiles letting Jungkook in and walking back down the hall.

"Jungkook-ah." Taehyung says when Jungkook enters the room. "I thought you'd come see me sooner."

"Yeah. I meant to but. There was somethings I had to think about first." Jungkook says sitting on the edge of the bed.

"Jungkook. None of this should have happened. I'm fine honestly." Taehyung says firmly.

"I know Tae. But. There's something you have to know." Jungkook says looking down at his hands.

Taehyung pushes himself into a sitting position. "What's wrong Kook?"

"There's a reason you can't remember anything Tae." Jungkook says biting his lip.

Taehyung frowns. "What are talking about?"

Jungkook looks up into Taehyung's eyes. "You didn't try to kill yourself."

Taehyung suddenly feels exposed for some reason. "What?"

"This happened to you because of me." Jungkook says feeling tears prick his eyes. "They did this because of me."

"I don't understand what you're saying, Jungkook. You're scaring me." Taehyung says reaching for the boy's hand.

Jungkook pulls his hand away and let's a tear fall from his eye. "My mother."

Then everything seems to click.

"I don't care about what you or Jungkook think you want. Ruin me, and I'll ruin you."

"This is your last chance Kim Taehyung. Walk away. Forget about him. Or I promise I'll make you regret it."

"She made it look like a s-suicide attempt." Jungkook says as more tears stain his cheeks. "And she drugged you so you wouldn't remember. Just to get back at me."

Taehyung's heart sinks and suddenly he feels like he isn't safe anymore.

"I-I didn't know, Tae. I swear I didn't know she'd do this." Jungkook says crying.

Taehyung moves away from Jungkook to the farthest corner of his bed.

"And I know it's only going to get worse. That's why I can't be with you any longer." Jungkook says. "Because the more we're together the worse it'll be and I can't live with the idea of you getting hurt because of me. I can hardly live with myself now."

Taehyung feels numb as tears fall down his face. He couldn't speak.

"I'm so sorry, Taehyung. You don't understand how sorry I am." Jungkook says standing from the bed.

Taehyung doesn't look up at him he just stares ahead with tears in his eyes.

"I know it probably means nothing to you now.." Jungkook says wiping his eyes. "But I truly do love you, Kim Taehyung."

Jungkook turns to leave looking at him one more time, the hurt and shock on Taehyung's face burning a hole in his memory, before leaving the apartment in uncontrollable tears.

Taehyung lets out a breath he didn't know he was holding.

"I love you too, Jeon Jungkook."

Jungkook walks into his soon to be old house looking for his parents.

"Mother?" He calls waiting for a response.

"Kitchen." She responds back.

Her voice makes bile rise in his throat as he walks into the kitchen.

She looks up from her book at him. "What do you want?"

"Taehyung and I are over. Please don't bother him from this point forward." Jungkook says firmly.

Mrs. Jeon smirks devilishly. "I just hate that this is what it takes to get my own son to listen to me."

"I'm not listening to you. I'm doing this because I care for Taehyung far more than anything else." Jungkook says.

"See? Sacrifice. It's gonna be hard in the beginning. But in the long run you'll be glad you left whatever you called that boy." Mrs. Jeon says.

"I called him my boyfriend." Jungkook says hating that she couldn't even say it.

"Whatever. It's gonna pay off son. I promise it will." Mrs. Jeon says without a drop of sympathy in her voice.

"I'm leaving for Busan tomorrow." Jungkook says as he turns to leave the kitchen.

"You two just love to run away from each other don't you?" Mrs. Jeon chuckles opening her book again.

"Only because you make us." Jungkook says before walking out of the kitchen.

Jungkook goes upstairs and starts to pack his clothes since most of the things he was going to take were already in Busan.

Even though his heart was torn in two he knew that this truly was for the best.

-

Jungkook lies in bed later that night when he hears something hit his window.

He frowns sitting up and looking at the window waiting for the sound again.

Clink!

Jungkook stands still fully dressed in his clothes from earlier as he walks to the window.

Another clink against the window and Jungkook pulls back the curtains.

His eyes widen when he sees Taehyung bending down picking up tiny rocks from the garden.

He unlocks the window pulling it up. "Taehyung?" he whisper-yells getting his attention.

"Jungkook." Taehyung smiles standing up.

"W-. What are you doing?" Jungkook asks. Was he dreaming?

"You're not dreaming, Jungkook." Taehyung whisper-yells.

"What are you doing here?" Jungkook asks.

"I wanted to ask you something." Taehyung says.

"Did you walk here?" Jungkook asks in confusion.

"That doesn't matter. Can I ask you something?" Taehyung asks straining his neck as he looks up at Jungkook.

"Wait right there~"

"Wait!" Taehyung says before Jungkook moves.

"What?" Jungkook asks.

Taehyung hesitates for a moment, but what's the worse that can happen?

"Let's run away together."
