One Step At a Time [jungkook ff]

Chapter 12: Emptiness

     "You wanna talk about it?..." min-ju let out softly

     "I'll be okay" is all Tae said before showing a soft genuine smile.

     Instead of entering he walked towards his car. Minju stopped him by placing her hand on his chest.

     "Are you not going to talk to him?..." minju looks at Tae with a soft look.

     "I don't think I'm ready for that yet... I don't want to be angry.. I know it wasn't his fault but.. part of me can't let this rage go" a tear streamed down taes cheek, however, he kept a small smile present.

     Minju only responded with a nod and a sad half smile.

     Jungkook was in his office looking at old files and documents. They were all charity events or projects namjoon and he had worked on. In every file there was a new picture of Jungkook and namjoon after every successful event. He looked through the pictures as a tear rolled down his cheek. He sat there wondering what life will be like without his friend.
  
     Meanwhile Tae was at the small restaurant that had brought so much laughter to his childhood. He had decided to help Mr.Yoon clean up, he was the greatest father figure he and namjoon had.
     "There's something I need to show you" Mr Yoon said softly while holding a book in his hands.

     Mr. Yoon seated Taehyung next to him at a table. "These are some of the most important events of namjoons life.. I haven't read it to respect his privacy.. I did however place the letters he sent during his trips inside. I think you should be the one to read his entries."

     Taehyung slowly opened the book to a random page  and started reading.
     Last day before London trip.
          Taehyung, jungkook and I buried a time capsule, we'll be digging it up together 4 years from now. I'm not sure if I should be nervous, none of us know what was put in it and Tae couldn't stop laughing the whole time.

     Tears were streaming down taehyung's face. Mr.Yoon sat next to him, trying to comfort him to the best of his ability.

     Both Jungkook and Taehyung couldn't take it, the pain in their chests that wouldn't go away. That feeling of emptiness in a space too small to be contained, the kind of feeling that was too hurtful to describe with words. It became too much and they broke down. Broke down in infinite tears of pain they had tried so hard to keep in. They both knew and felt the pain they felt sorry for causing to each other without knowing they both felt the same.
