Cmon Tae you can't just walk away from a question like that
I get that you're in the closet and everything
Believe me
I do
But whoever this kid is really likes you
And if you want to stay in the closet and lie to yourself and think that one day the side of you that likes men will go away that's fine
It won't
But I'm not gonna tell you what to think
But you have a real chance at happiness here if you'd just take it.
And accept yourself

taetae95
Yoongi you're gonna make me cry

Yooknee
I don't care
This is who you are, and that will never change
You can bottle it up and push it down all you want but that's not going to change the fact that somewhere in you, you like men.
You are bisexual.
I still remember that night you came to talk to me last summer
You were hysterical and could barely talk and you looked horrible but once you had calmed down you told me what was on your mind.
The next day you acted as if nothing happened
Taehyung that's not healthy
Not at all
You've told me
But you haven't even told Jungkook
The one whom you are closest to

taetae95
I know that
And I hate it
I'm just scared
So fucking scared Yoongi
And sorry
I'm really sorry
I know what this is about
And I'm sorry

Yooknee
This isn't about us.
We didn't work out, and that's fine.
Your inability to accept yourself and constant denial and repulsion towards whatever we did is what ended whatever we had.
Not you.
You're still one of my closest friends and I'm not about to let you make the same mistakes with someone else.

taetae95
I'm sorry

Yooknee
It's alright, Taehyung.
But if you really are sorry, I want you to try to change. Accept yourself. Be happy, Tae, and don't you dare give a shit about what other people say. They don't matter.
And if you don't know where to start, start by telling Jungkook.

taetae95
I'll think about it
I really will
But the thing I'm scared of the most
Is losing Jungkook

Yoonknee
If he is your friend and loves you, nothing will change.
He isn't like that anyway.

taetae95
You promise?

Yooknee
I promise.

Taehyung passed his cell phone from hand to hand, chewing on his bottom lip in nervousness.

It was chilly outside, and the sun had begun to set, casting the park he was at in a soft, burnt orange light. There was no snow, for the state they lived in, Tennessee, rarely got snow. The chills that ran along his spine and down his arms, causing the hair on them to raise, weren't caused by the chilly weather, however.

It was the pure anxiety and sheer terror of anticipating what was to come.

Ever since he had started to have feelings for a boy, the world around him as he knew it had started to crash and burn, leaving him standing stranded in the wake.

Taehyung's entire life seemed to have been planned out for him since birth.

Born, check.
