'You thought I forgot'

==

"Y-Yoongi." His voice trembled, his voice was quiet, only people around him could hear. But as they make eye contact, Yoongi instantly knew what he said.

Without another word, tears slipped on his face as he quickly said excuses and soon ran out the venue. But before he could leave, he locked eyes with Taehyung who had widened eyes. Minyook had worry painted on his face as he regretted making him join them. Jaeil had a bad memory but he didn't know that he'd remember it. The others knew that Minyook knew. But they didn't speak up. They eyed Minyook as if saying, "We need an explanation."

===

Jaeil bumped into people as he ran carelessly, trying to get away as much as possible. Thoughts flooded his head - more on questions and doubting. He didn't care to say sorry to the people he've hit. He wanted to escape.

He slipped into an alley, resting his back on the wall before sliding down the wall. The alley wasn't really an alley, it was a small but enough space to fit in 10 people space that would make you hit dead end if you walked 20 more steps.

Jaeil hid his face into his arms, hugging his legs as well. He didn't know it. He wasn't informed. From what he knew, he'd never see him again. Ever. He made a scar with his actions, a scar to deep to heal by himself. He needs someone to save him from his despise- but the thing is, he's too afraid to find someone who'd save him. Too afraid to find his prince.

Sobbing was heard in the alleyway. But sobbing wasn't the only thing heard. Rain started pouring and it blended well with the sad atmosphere. The way the rain drops makes a pit-pat sound, calming but sad. Footsteps where soon heard, splashing water and hitched breaths.

Jaeil knew who he was, despite the rain. "Go away Yoongi." He threatened, once feeling that he was infront of him. The figure infront of him didn't speak, but instead knealed to his level and held him close.

The second Jaeil felt someone hugging him, he immediately pushed him away. "I SAID GO AWAY YOONGI!" He shouted in pure anger and sadness, tears still spilling from his eyes. "T-Taehyung?" He whispered under his breath, eyes wide open in shock.

Taehyung stayed quiet, despite being pushed to the floor. He moved closer to Jaeil before encasing him again in a hug. Jaeil stayed still and as quiet as Taehyung, his crying had stopped. A few minutes have passed and Jaeil brought his arms around Taehyung, accepting his hug. And by this time, Jaeil had started crying again.

"You're such a crybaby, aren't you?" Taehyung jokingly teased Jaeil trying to atleast lighten the cold atmosphere. Jaeil pouted, smacking Taehyung's back with a lot of force causing hin to wince. "That hurt." This time, Taehyung was the one who pouted.

"Eh, you deserved it anyways." Jaeil shrugged, then grinned afterwards. "Yah! This boy!" Taehyung shook his head as he sighed. 

Jaeil sighed, avoiding Taehyung's eyes. "I'm sorry." 

"About what?" He asked.

"For... ruining your fansign." He said in a low voice but it still could be heard.

"Eh." Taehyung gently grabbed Jaeil's chin, making him look at him. "You should be sorry for not replying to my text, and not that." He sternly said, looking into Jaeil's eyes.

Jaeil shook Taehyung's hand of his face and readied his hands on the floor, "About that..." He stood up and ran, splashing a lot of water and splashing Taehyung as well. "YAH!" He shouted before standing up to chase after him too.

"Yah! Come back here!" Taehyung shouted. Jaeil laughed as he ran faster. Taehyung stopped running as he can no longer see the figure of Jaeil. He sighed, running his hand through his hair. "Now I need to find him."

===

Jaeil laughed and turned his head to look if Taehyung was still behind him. His smile was replaced with a frown as he realized that he wasn't there anymore. "There you are." A voice so familiar spoke as soon as Jaeil turned his head. "Look, I'm sorry about the past. You should just forget about it, okay?" Yoongi said. "D-Do I know you?" Jaeil pretended not to know Yoongi. "Stop pretending that you don't know, Jaeil." Yoongi held Jaeil's wrist to stop him from running away. "I don't know you, so please let me go. I need to be somewhere." Jaeil bluntly replied this time. "Jaeil I know that you know what I mean! It's your fault as well!" Yoongi held his wrist tighter. Jaeil had enough of this. "Wow." Jaeil harshly tugged his wrist out of Yoongi's. "My fault? After what you've done? What a joke, Min Yoongi." Jaeil hissed at him before walking off with a glare. "I'll never forgive you." He added.

"You! I finally found you." Taehyung panted as he grasped Jaeil's right hand. "Now, lets go!" Taehyung tugged on his hand but Jaeil didn't move as he felt another hand grasp his other hand. "Hyung?" Taehyung asked, confused. "Let go, Taehyung. I need to talk to him." Yoongi tucked on his hand.

"Oka-No. No." Taehyung's hand stayed on his hand. "Tae, I'm older than you. Let go. Obey me." "And so?" Taehyung raised one of his eyebrows. "Don't you respect him? You're making him uncomfortable. You don't even know him." Taehyung talked back, taking Yoongi aback. "I know him better than you." Yoongi let go of his hand. "We're still not done, Jaeil." Yoongi added before turning on his heel and leabing the two.

"What was that abo-" "Why did you do that?" Jaeil's strict voice cut him off. "Huh? I helped you." Taehyung gripped Jaeil's hand tighter. "You know I could do that by myself." Jaeil glanced at Taehyung before removing his hand. Jaeil started walking without Taehyung, "J-J-Jaeil-" Taehyung stuttered as he caught up with Jaeil. "I'm such a great actor aren't I?!" Jaeil happily chimed with a peace sign and a grin. There was no words for Taehyung. "From when...?" He asked, curious if the Yoongi incident was also acting. "From when we were left together." Jaeil happily stated, grabbing his hand in the proccess. 'Wait.. so.. it means.. the Yoongi incident really happened?' Taehyung asked himself in his mind.

"Wow, I'm so great~" Jaeil talked to himself as he walked off, leaving Taehyung to ponder off.
