j u n g k o o k ;

taehyung and i just sat on my house's rooftop as we stared at the night sky's glory.
he bought chips and root beers, i bought vanilla bread.

"that girl," taehyung said as he chugged down his root beer, "such a headstrong girl, isn't she? so ready to give kindness to everyone she hold dear to her."

i remembered how eru told me how she cried for me, denying it in the process. i smiled to myself.
"yeah, specially when it's about you." i said, feeling a weird churn on my stomach.

taehyung laughed.
"we have mutual feelings now. she told me she liked me for so long up until now."

"well, aren't you two dating yet?" i asked.
come on, man. tell me the truth.

"we aren't dating yet. i just can't give her myself wholeheartedly when i'm not fully healed yet." immediately i got what tae meant. it's about his father.

poor shiba must've thought taehyung's okay when he's still clearly fighting his remaining demons.
"did you tell her?"

taehyung nodded.
"but i didn't tell her i'm still healing; still recovering. i'm not totally fine but i'm almost to it. i told her i'm already fine with it so she doesn't have to worry about me anymore."

that's right. eru worries about so many little things that doesn't even have anything to do with her sometimes.

"do you like her, tae?" i asked. i felt like a bob wire was wrapping around my neck and slowly getting tighter. it felt like a lump in my neck, that question. it felt so hard to say.

like, i didn't want to ask that to taehyung but as his best friend and as the guy who knows him so well, i need to.

i need to know where i stand in this situation.

i want to clear my head now.

i want to know what i should and shouldn't do or act.

i need to set my boundaries.

i need to set my emotions straight.

taehyung smiled like he remembered a fond memory.
come on, man. wake me up from my delusion, already.

"yeah, i do. i'm almost fully recovered so when ig happens, i'm ready to ask to court her."

i felt a small pang in my chest.


if eru was here, she'd be extremely happy.
