BEST FRIENDS

"Yeah I just got here... okay see ya."

Taehyung hung up. As he entered the cafe his eyes immediately turned towards the table he has always sat at with his friends. There was a cup placed on it, but he just shrugged it off thinking it belonged to a customer that has already left.

He walked towards the table, sat down on the couch and waited for Jimin. In the meantime he played on his phone to try and entertain himself.

After a few minutes he heard a door open and close, he looked up from his phone to see if Jimin has finally arrived, but what he didn't expect was the person that was there instead.

"Jungkook?"

"Taehyung?"

"I can't believe they did this to us.."

"I know right?"

Both males were now sitting at the table sipping on their drinks. They glanced at each other from time to time awkwardly and made small talk, but that was about it.

They felt uncomfortable around each other, which was new since they've been friends for years and never experienced this much awkwardness with one another.

Taehyung got fed up with the silence and spoke up, he knew they can't keep on ignoring each other but have to talk things out.

"Kook.."

"Yeah?"

"You know we should probably talk about what happened at the party, right?"

Jungkook stopped breathing for a second and his heart skipped a beat. He really didn't want to talk about it knowing he will fall into a depressive state again. Unfortunately he knew they had to sort things out sooner or later.

He played with his fingers under the table nervously and sighed, unsure of what to think will happen.

"Y-yeah I know.." he responded as he cleared his throat, not wanting to look at Taehyung because he could already feel the tears filling his eyes.

"Hey, it's going to be okay. Look I'm just as stressed as you are."

Taehyung lifted his hand up to show how much it was shaking.

It made Jungkook a little bit relieved that he wasn't the only one who was scared, but at the same time he felt bad. He just wanted to give his best friend the biggest hug of the history and tell him everything is going to be fine.

But he couldn't.

He didn't know how he would react and if he shared the same feelings as him. He felt like he didn't know him for the first time in his life. He couldn't read his emotions like he used to and it made him feel helpless.

"I think it will be better if we go to my house, I really don't want to talk about it here." Taehyung admitted and Jungkook slowly nodded his head.

"My parents are out so no one will be able to disturb us."

Jungkook forced himself to stand up. His legs were shaking, he needed to calm himself down before going back to this horrible topic.

"L-let me just go to the bathroom quickly, you can wait outside, I will be right back."

Taehyung nodded his head and slowly stood up, he watched as Jungkook disappeared behind the door. He felt his stress level rise with each passing second, this wasn't easy for him either.

He was about to leave the table, but stopped himself when he saw a pink piece of paper on the floor.

It must've fell out of Jungkook's pocket when he was walking away.
