In Another Lifetime

I'm sorry

"No, but one day, I think I'll be able to miss her with a smile, and then hopefully It won't hurt so bad to remember."

~♡~

The car had come to a stop, and the three of us exited, making our way into the building, and heading for the lounge.

Jungkook hadn't said anything else, but at least he didn't look like he hated the entire world anymore.

He purchased a can of soda from the vending machine, and mumbled something about going to get a shower, and disappeared.

Tae and I sat at one of the tables, knowing the others would probably be here any time.

"You know we're probably going to get questioned when they get here, right?"

"I know. Just remember, it's because they care."

A few minutes later, Jin and J-Hope came in, eyeing Tae and I before approaching us.

"Are you two okay?" Jin asked.

"We're fine hyung. We had a bit of a misunderstanding the other day, but we've worked it out. Everything is fine." Tae said, smiling.

J-Hope looked at me, and I gave him a smile.

"Tae-ah, I think we should talk. I'm worried about you, and what your intentions are once Laney's... gone."

Tae sighed, lowering his gaze to the floor briefly before looking right at Jin.

"I don't have any intentions, hyung. My only intentions are to show her all the love I can until she..." he shook his head, his eyes closing, "until she has to go."

He kept his eyes closed for a few more seconds, opening them to see Jin still looking at him.

"So you aren't going to try to  find her?" J-Hope asked, brows furrowed.

He shook his head. "I'm not. If I'm meant to, than I guess I will. But I'm not going to try to force it. Even if I never remember her name, I'll always remember her, and that's what I'm going to hold on to."

I could see the smile in Jin's eyes, even though his mouth didn't show it. J-Hope looked relieved, but also sad.

"Okay! Well we have two days off...I say we all go to Lotte World, since we didn't go last time we had days off, like we talked about doing." Jin exclaimed happily.

Tae smiled. "That's because I was being selfish and wanted to keep her all to myself. But I think that sounds like a great idea, as long as Kookie comes too."

"As long as Kookie comes where?"

We all turned towards the voice, seeing Jungkook standing there, his damp hair sticking up everywhere from being towel dried, dressed in clean track pants and a t shirt.

Before anyone had a chance to answer him, the rest of the guys and their stylists all came in the door.

Namjoon looked at all of us, brows raised.

"What's going on?" He asked, confusion on his face.

Jin laughed. "Nothing, we were just deciding that we're all going to go to Lotte World tomorrow, so Laney can experience it before...well, so she can see what it's all about."

I gave Jin a small smile, thankful that he'd re-worded his sentence. I saw Jungkook roll his head back, sighing deeply, and I quietly walked over to him.

"Kookie, are you still mad?"

He looked at me, his expression tired. "I'm not mad. I'm...frustrated, at this whole situation. How is it fair that things can work out the way they're going to? How is it okay that Tae, who's already dealt with so much hurt from losing people he loves, and you, who obviously deal with unhappiness every day, have to go through something like this? How many more people is he going to lose? How much more is he supposed to go through before he just finally breaks, and can't take anymore?"
