"Another one please"

Taehyung said raising his arm up slightly to get the waitresses attention, nodding her head she headed towards the bar to get him another round, by now this had been his fifth beer and all three of his friends that sat at the table with him were starting to get worried at their friends whole demeanor this wasn't like him, Taehyung never got drunk out of his mind no matter what.

"Tae, you need to slow down, what the hell's got you so stressed?"

Jungkook said looking at Taehyung his eyebrow raised slightly, scoffing to himself Taehyung shook his head lightly trying to decipher his thoughts, this wasn't like him and he himself knew it too but this wasn't how he had expected his night to be going, he had expected to be cuddled up in bed with you, after you guy's had your nightly rounds but he was honestly not expecting to come home and hear you talk about Ari and Jimin so animatedly.

"Y/n is apparently Ari's therapist now"

Taehyung said bitterly as he collected the beer from the waitress, nodding his head slightly in a thank you as he downed the whole thing in one go, using the back of his hand to wipe off the excess liquid that had escaped his mouth as he burped a little in the process.

"And what does that have to do with you getting shit faced?"

Hoseok said cutting in as he himself sipped on his beer, Jungkook raised his eyebrow too a frown on his face as he waited for Taehyung to answer them, groaning slightly in frustration Taehyung tugged on his hair a little, before taking in a deep breath as he tried to sort out his thoughts.

"Well, you know how Y/n and Jimin were you know and like she said she was pregnant and didn't know who the father was- saying it wasn't Jimins- god you should've seen the look on Y/n's face when she was telling me this- she looked- relieved for fucks sake!"

Taehyung said angrily as he frustratedly ran his hands through his hair, Jungkook opened his mouth in a sort of 'O' reaction as Hoseok continued to sip on his beer, finally getting the gist of things.

"Don't worry man, it was probably just your imagination"

Hoseok said patting Taehyung's shoulder lightly as he tried to reassure his friend, Jungkook nodding all the same not really believing a word of what Hoseok was spouting never the less he'll act like he did for Taehyung's sake.

"I hope so"

Taehyung said rather unsure of himself, he wanted to believe what Hoseok was saying, he wanted to trust in you but he knew that once upon time, maybe even far longer than he had guessed, your heart had undoubtedly more than anything belonged to jimin.

And that alone was what always made him sceptical about your feelings towards him, sure you had agreed to date him back then, sure you even accepted his proposal but the fact is now that he really thought on it, you had never once said i loved you, the countless times that Taehyung had poured his heart out to you, confessing his undying love, you had always responded with 'me too' a soft smile gracing your face, he figured that maybe you just weren't good at showing how much you cared for someone but then again he had always heard you telling your mom those three little words but never him, Taehyung wondered to himself if maybe over the years your love for him had slowly died but as his mind became foggy, just as the alcohol had started to settle in and take its toll on him a thought came to his mind.

Had you even loved him in the first place?

In the following weeks after Taehyungs so evident rejection, both you and him had been completely occupied with work, he was home when you weren't and vice versa at first you didn't mind but on the rare occasions that you both were home at the same time, Taehyung always seemed to avoid you, locking himself up in his study never venturing out unless he got hungry.

Always the same excuse when you tried to talk to him, always the same one sided answer, you can't even remember the last time he had made complete eye contact with you, even if to others it may look like he did, you knew better, you always saw the way his eyes would shift slightly to the side when he did occasionally look in your direction, his gaze was never on you when he spoke always on something else.

But more than anything what bothered you the most, was the fact that this had honestly been your longest act of celibacy ever since you two got together, you were honestly so goddamned frustrated at the fact that you two hadn't been intimate in a while that it was affecting your work more than you'd like to admit.

Honestly you were looking for anything even a peck on the cheek would be enough but even so it never came, you couldn't even remember the last time you had even felt his touch on you, the fire that always seemed to ignite within from just the sensation of his touch.

At this point you had forgotten how it felt.

"Are you even listening to me?"

You heard an all too familiar voice say in a rather annoyed tone, sighing to yourself you raised your head up slightly, locking gazes with Ari as she stared back at you with a soft expression on her face, yes 'soft' because over the course of the few months that you had been assigned to her as her psychologist, although you wouldn't admit it out loud, you two had gotten a bit closer.

Not as friends persae but you could both more or less tolerate each others presence now, nodding your head slightly, you gestured with your hand for her to continue where she had left off, you were honestly so tired at this point that you didn't even feel like keeping up a fake facade anymore, your shoulders sagged slightly as you sunk back in your chair, your elbows propped up on its handle as your head was folded into a slight fist, your head resting on your knuckles.

Maybe just maybe, you'll both be home at the same time and you could finally confront Taehyung on his behaviour lately.

"Now where were we?"

Time Stamp: xx:xx

"Maybe the universe just doesn't want us to be together anymore"
