Alone (Taekook) ✅

Two

BTW if you haven't listened to this ⬆️⬆️⬆️, you need to. Also, it's relevant to later in the chapter, so...I just wanted to put it here.

"Why am I here?" I grumbled once again.

"Because I promised that I'd introduce you to the others."

"I never promised to meet them." Baekhyun sighed.

"Come on, Taehyung." I pleaded.

"Fine." I muttered. I allowed him to pull me along and enter the huge stadium. We walked towards the back and into a dressing room.

"Hey!" Baekhyun greeted everyone. I nodded to everyone, looking around. My heart clenched a little at the room.

I could've spent my days in rooms like these once.

Preparing for concerts.

Listening to people scream my name.

Expressing myself to the world.

I shook my head to rid myself of these thoughts and turned my attention back to Baekhyun.

"So, this is Taehyung." He started introducing everyone, but I was nowhere near remembering any of their names, so I simply smiled and bowed in greeting.

The door to the room suddenly opened and one more person came in. I paused when I saw him.

His eyes landed on me. "What are you doing here?" He said in a hostile tone.

"Be nice, Kai." Baekhyun warned.

"Why should I?"

"He's your friend!"

"He was my friend. Before he went and screwed himself over and then almost dragged us down with him."

"Kai!"

"No...he's right. He doesn't have to be nice to me..." I muttered. "I deserve it."

"Tae..." Baekhyun warns. I sighed and picked up my coat.

"I should go. You need to practice, and I don't want to be a distraction."

"You're not! Just stay here."

"He's not a distraction? Of course he is! He's not wanted here!"

"Kai!" Baekhyun shouted, now losing his cool. Without even thinking, he threw a punch in the others direction. Everyone stood there in shock.

Kai growled and stalked out of the room. "B-Baekhyun...." I whispered.

"That little bitch needs to grow up! He can't keep blaming you for everything!"

"He has every right to. Because of me you almost didn't get to debut."

"Doesn't matter! Doesn't mean he can just go off and blame everything on you! You were the one that was the most hurt, Tae."

I nodded, biting my lip, suddenly conscious of the audience that we still had. "A-anyway...you should get going to practice." I mumbled awkwardly. Baekhyun nodded and the other and him all left to go and do a final rehearsal for the concert.

"Where the fuck is he!?" The manager was shouting. I was standing around with the others as they all desperately searched for Kai who had walked off and not come back. The concert was scheduled to start in five minutes.

"What the fuck are we supposed to do? We can't just cancel and send every one home."

"We need a way to buy us some time." Baekhyun nodded, glancing at me. And then fully turned, his eyes sparkling.

I gasped and took a step back, shaking my head. "Don't you fucking dare." I warned.

"Please, Tae! Just one song! I know you have some!"

"Absolutely the fuck not! I'm not supposed to be using my voice! You know what kind of damage it could do to me!"

"I know! But we only need five more minutes! Please? Pleeeeeaaaaaasssseeeeee?"

I groaned but by then it was already too late. Baekhyun had had the idea shoved into his head. He threw a microphone at me.

"Just like old times?"

"I haven't done this in awhile."

"Large crowds never scared you." I nodded and handed my phone to a tech guy, telling him what I wanted. He nodded and I took a shaky breath in and out, stepping onto the stage.

It rose to thousands of cheers. Unfortunately, I was not what they were looking for. "Hello Daegu!" I called out, shedding any fear within me. "I'm sorry, but there's been a little delay with the boys, so they sent me up to entertain you for a bit. I hope you don't mind, it won't infringe on concert time or anything. Think of it as...an added bonus?"

I stood there and waited. The arena was dead silent. Until..."Wait? Isn't that V!?" Suddenly screams filled the air and I smiled sheepishly.

Music started and I held the microphone to my lips, taking one last breath before singing.

(Pretend the song is his. I know it's Adele's, but for the sake of the story, it's V's song).

"I heard...

That you've settled down.

That you've.

Found a girl and you're

Married now~

I heard...

That you're dreams came true.

Guess she gave you everything....

I couldn't give to you~

Old friend...

Why are you so shy~

Ain't like you to hold back.

Or hide, from the light.

I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited but I...

Couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it and I'd hoped you'd see my face

And that you'd be reminded that for me...

It isn't over~"

I took a deep breath, closing my eyes.

And let go.

"Never mind...

I'll find someone like you~

I wish nothing but the best...

For you....

Too.

Don't forget me!

I beg!

I'll remember you said...

Sometimes it lasts to love, but sometimes it hurts instead.

Sometimes it lasts to love, but sometimes it hurts instead." As the last note died out, the stadium was dead silent.

Suddenly cheers and screams rang out. I smiled weakly and offered a bow before I was motioned back behind the stage.

"That was great! Thank you so much." Baekhyun told me.

"The fuck was he doing?" I hasped as I was suddenly thrown against a wall. Kai was holding me, murder in his his eyes.

"Kai!" Baekhyun yelled.

"Get the fuck out of here. I don't want to see you when I get back, or we're going to have a problem." I nodded and he released me.

I scrambled to my feet and left. I sighed as I entered the cook and chilly air.

"Nice song." A voice called out. I stilled, turning slowly.

Right before me.

Was none other.

Than Jeon Jungkook.
