All I could do was stare at the spot besides me. It was so empty. I remember us lying here, in the bed, I was watching him as he slept, or as he was talking with a smile painted on his features.

"Jungkook?" A knock on the door sounded. "Will you please open up?"

I didn't. I made no move to open the door or to even sound a signal of recognition of the fact that Baekhyung was in front of my bedroom door.

"It's been way too long now Jungkook, please" I could hear sadness in his voice as he spoke.

"You need to eat, open the door" Another voice, Chanyeol, said.

I let out a shaky breath, my fingers trembling as they glided over the soft fabric where Taehyung once laid. I missed him so much.

I pulled my hand away and rolled out of the bed, nearly falling off. I swayed on my feet as I walked to the door. My stomach was hurting from hunger but that wasn't my first priority. Taehyung always came first.

I unlocked the door and opened it enough to let them see half my face.

"Go away" my voice cracked horribly, taking even myself by surprise.

"Move over" Chanyeol sighed and pushed open the door. "Jesus, it's a mess"

He wasn't wrong. The curtains were closed, making the room look dusty and dark. The bed was unmade and there were clothes everywhere as I hadn't cleaned up in ages. Taehyung always used to do that.

"Go away, I want to be alone" I muttered and let meself fall back on the bed.

"You're such a fucking drama queen, he isn't dead you know" Baekhyung tsk'ed.

"He's so far away! I miss him" I whined.

"Just because he left to Europe for two months doesn't mean you get to do nothing in the mean time" Chanyeol sighed.

"You have your exams in two weeks, but you haven't even begun studying." His counterpart pointed out.

"I don't wanna... I miss my Taetae" I pouted chilsishly, not even caring about my behaviour.

"He'll be back in two days, so quit whining"

"D-do you think it worked? The therapy in Sweden I mean" I asked lowly, sitting up again and watching the two men walk around in my room, trying to make the place look presentable.

"They said it was about a 80% chance it would work, so I hope it did" Chanyeol said.

"Hopefully yes"

We were all waiting on the airport for him. Balloons in hand and ready to hug him tightly. Everyone has missed him, the place where his presence should have been was screamingly empty. We've all noticed.

"Look hyung!" I pointed to the hall. People had starred exiting it, all fron Taehyung's flight. He'd be home soon.

He was easy to spot, a bald, young and handsome man in a wheelchair, his doctor pushing it slowly.

As he came closer, my smile only grew. He already looked so much better, his skin was less pale and his eyes looked more lively. He honestly looked amazing!

"Welcome home!" We all yelled out, waving around the balloons and hugging him one by one.

I held him tightly, careful not to hurt him, but tight enough to make it clear I had missed him a lot (not that it wasn't clear enough yet).

"I love you" I mumbled in his ear.

"I love you too Kookie" He smiled and hissed my cheek with his soft lips. I quickly turned my head to kiss him on his lips as well.

"Not as much as I do you" I grinned. "Now let's go home"

He told us about his trip to Sweden. About the cold air outside but the warmth in the hospitals and about the heavy treatments he's gotten there but with positive results,and about how he has missed everyone all the time.

It was unfortunate that hoe couldn't bring anyone besides his doctor, the radiation being too strong for anyone to be a round for at least a month and a half. So he had been kept in the hospital wards for two months, only letting him out of it for his treatments or to wash up and go to the bathroom.

"It wasn't fun and I felt like a captive, but then again, I didn't really have the energy to get out of bed either" Taehyung chuckled lightly.

"I'm getting better now though, the treatment has been very affective and they're predicting I wont have to go to Sweden again." He talked happily.

I watched him smile, warming my heart. It's been too long since I had seen him. The sight of his beautiful eyes and his handsome face and his smiling lips.

Have I missed those lips.

"I'm happy you're here again Taetae" I said as soon as we were alone, laying on our bed. The place that had been vacant only this morning was filled with him again. It made me feel so happy, so complete.

"I'm happy to be with you again Kookie. I missed you so much" He whispered tiredly.

"I love you so much"

"I love you too"

"But what did I hear? You were moping around because I was gone?" He suddenly asked.

"N-no, of course not, I don't know what you're talking about!" I stuttered out. "Goodnight hyung!"

I fell asleep to the sound of his calming laugh.

That's it! The definite end of 'I'm sorry brother'! Thanks again for reading and a special thanks to the many people who have encouraged me to write an epilogue. I personally don't like it as much as the original ending, but some of you may! Enjoy ♥
