"He's the one that caused the crash," someone whispers to their group of friends.

"Wasn't that Seokjin's boyfriend?" Someone asks, eyes following the boy as he walks down the hall.

"Why is he even here?" A voice snickers.

"He deserves to be in jail," Another person hisses glaring at the boy.

Taehyung hears people whisper as he walks into the building. Everyone's eyes are on him treating him as some kind of monster. Does he really deserve this? He walks into the nearest restroom to get some peace from everyone. Why can't they understand he's not responsible for what happened? He wants to argue, but it's more against one.

"Wow, you actually thought it would be okay to come to school today," Yoongi scoffs. "And on his birthday?"

"Cut the bullshit Yoongi. You were driving the fucking car," Taehyung retorts turning to look at the boy.

Yoongi steps closer to the boy. "Watch your fucking mouth," he hisses.

"And if I don't?" Taehyung questions.

Yoongi chuckles before throwing a punch at the boy knocking him back into the wall. "Keep fucking around and see what else happens," he laughs leaving the bathroom his friends following behind.

"Jungkook," Taehyung calls out to the youngest making him turn around. "You know what really happened. Why are you doing this?"

"Because Yoongi told me to. I don't hate you hyung," the boy mutters lending his hand to help Taehyung up.

He grabs it standing up and wipes the blood off his lower lip. "I hate them," he chuckles.

"Yeah," Jungkook mutters. "Are you going to see Jin hyung today?"

"Of course," he replies.

"Good luck. Bye hyung," Jungkook says leaving Taehyung alone again.

Taehyung stayed in the bathroom the whole school day, leaving once the last bell finally rang. He ran straight to the hospital and upon going up to the room he saw Seokjin sitting there, awake. His heart rushed seeing his boyfriend awake, he walked towards the door only to get blocked by Seokjin's parents.

"Go home Taehyung," Mr. Kim mutters.

"Please let me see him! It's his birthday!" Taehyung pleads, trying to get through the door.

"Just go Taehyung. You have put our family through enough," Mr. Kim insists, shoving the boy.

"You don't understand how much he means to me!" Taehyung shouts.

"He wouldn't be in this mess if it wasn't for you. If he meant a lot to you-you would have never put him through this," Mrs. Kim scoffs.

"At least let me say goodbye," He begs.

"It doesn't matter, he doesn't even remember you," Mr. Kim mutters noticeably becoming annoyed with the boy. "He lost his memory, you made him lose his fucking memory Taehyung."

Mr. Kim's words replayed over and over again as he left, and he still couldn't understand what was happening. He made his way out of the hospital bumping into Yoongi when he went through the exit. "Where are you going?" Taehyung asks.

"To see Jin hyung," He replies, fake smiling.

"Fucking bullshit," Taehyung mutters.

Yoongi chuckled shoving into the boy. "Can't get mad at me. You're the one who did this to him after all," he lies disappearing into the building.

He ran home, his head was spinning making the boy nothing but frustrated and confused. Angrily kicking and throwing empty bottles around once he entered his home, his head started to pound from everything that was happening. Trying to calm himself down, he sits on the glass covered floor no longer caring about the pieces cutting his body. Nothing hurts more than losing his love.

He walks unsteadily to the kitchen leaving a trail of blood behind as he pulls out the small cupcake and candle he had bought for Seokjin. He places the candle on the cupcake lighting it shakily singing happy birthday to his love, imagining he was right there.

"Happy birthday baby," he whispers blowing out the candle. "What did you wish for?" He asks turning over to the empty chair.

"To see you!" Seokjin smiles.

"Who are you talking to?" His father asks to walk in into the room and both boys turn their attention to him.

He looks at the chair again still seeing Seokjin there, unaware he's the only one that can see him. "H-he's right... No one," he mutters.

"I'm no one?" Seokjin mutters pouting making Taehyung look back at him.

"You're so fucking weird," His father scoffs. "Clean this shit up when you're done with whatever the fuck is going on."

"What's happening?" He asks looking back at the chair, but Seokjin is no longer there.

What is happening?
