Jealousy

Aftermath

It's been two days since the couple broke up. Members have been aware of the situation and have done nothing but to respect their decision. They knew that if Jimin and Taehyung wanted to talk about it then they would. They will eventually reach out for sure but for now, they are letting the two to be on their own and think things through.

Both Jimin and Taehyung have been dealing with the pain in different ways. Jimin goes out more often and will go home late as a distraction while the other locks himself in his room never leaving his bed.

During practice, Jimin became a lot more serious about getting the details seeming focused as ever. Taehyung on the other hand, has been making mistakes left and right, something very unusual as he himself is considered to be part of the dance line too with impeccable memories.

"Tae? Are you okay? Do you need help with the steps?" Hoseok asked.

"I'm okay hyung. . . just a little tired."Taehyung smiles, although sadness is evident in his eyes.

On the other corner of the dance studio, Namjoon approached Jimin to talk to him. "Jimin? You're an amazing dancer, you know that right? Don't make it too hard on yourself okay? Don't over do it."

"Thanks for the reminder hyung. I'm just enjoying the routine and can't help that I'm being carried away." Jimin's eyes turning to crescents. You can tell that he does better in hiding his emotions. He has mastered doing such, learning it all from his four year relationship with Taehyung almost like an emotional training.

Rehearsal is over and they're calling it a day. Everyone is preparing to go back to the dorm when Kai appears in the parking area.

"Kai? W-What are you doing here?''Jimin asked, can't help but sound surprised because who wouldn't? He thought of Taehyung for a little bit, worried that he might get hurt but he remembered how he was accused of cheating, so he brushed it off and ran towards his friend.

"Let's eat! I promised to cook my specialty the last time right. I'll feed you." Kai is literally giving heart eyes to Jimin which makes the members glance towards Taehyung.

"But it's late now?"

"I have all the ingredients ready. I don't want to eat alone. I'll send you home after." Kai assured.

Taehyung being oblivious to his surroundings can only see the love of his life smiling towards another man. It's like everything turns black. He felt as if a knife was piercing his heart and wanted to grab Jimin badly. He wants to tell Kai to cut the crap and fuck off but then reality sinked in. He can feel his eyes heating up from the build up of tears so he went inside their van without exchanging any form of greetings to Kai. The rest showed pleasantry though, and said their goodbye to the man.

Inside the vehicle, Taehyung sat at the back and wore his shades that are completely unnecessary because it's night time. The members knew that it was because he was crying but none of them wanted to press the topic. They knew Taehyung isn't the type to reach out for help unless he really needs to and they respect that, so the whole ride was quiet.

Namjoon is aware that Taehyung needs some time alone after what happened earlier so he made an excuse that he will be spending the night with Jin and that he can have the room for himself.

''Oh? You'll be with me?'' Jin asked, looking shocked.

''We're supposed to watch movies you said, right? Prepare the snacks please."

For a second, Jin would like to counter and say that he didn't make any plans like that at all but he then realized what his boyfriend was trying to do so he just agreed. "Yes, of course. How can I forget, silly me."

The moment Taehyung had the room on his own, he cried so hard soaking his pillows with his tears, making his nose clogged and he could barely breathe properly. His body is shaking uncontrollably and evil thoughts have been crossing his brain. He just wanted to end everything right there. It fucking hurts.

"Now I understand why some people take their own lives. It's my fault. It was my fault. It was my fault for losing him!'' He mumbled it repeatedly while Jimin's angry face and voice kept flashing in his head.

"He thought I used him. I fucked up. Now he's not coming back! He's really not coming back! I miss him so bad. This feels like death. Fuck!"

With the little strength that he has, he stood up to open the mini fridge in their room and took all six cans of beer and two bottles of soju. He drowned himself sobbing and drinking alcohol until he passed out.
