The Lies He Believed In

Chapter 1: "The Beginning"

[THIRD PERSONS POV]

Days as peaceful as always. Birds chirping, plants flourishing, love fills the air.

 All in the neighborhood was as happy as ever.

But inside one apartment, a broken man stood still as he held the photograph the he found under the sheets of their bed. 

It was Yoongi hugging Jungkook from behind while kissing him on the neck. 

Tears fell from the eyes of the latter as words came unspoken. After three years of relationship Jungkook still has the audacity to cheat. 

Taehyung gave him everything that he needed. Food, shelter and clothes. It was his responsibility as the oldest in their relationship.

But he knows, he canno0t give everything the younger asks.

 But the one question that lingers in the mind of Taehyung is "why" he was not enough? Did he lack in any aspect? Yoongi is nicer than Taehyung, he is far smarter than Taehyung.

 He is more lovable than Taehyung.

But what did he do to deserve this? 

He know he's not enough but as time goes by he tried to make himself better.

But at those times the younger managed to look for someone else.

It is true that Taehyung is a fragile man, but the moment he breaks. 

Whatever you do, glue it all together the cracks that the younger has caused him won't disappear.

 Tears left his eyes as the front door opens. It revealed a smiling man, ear to ear. 

He told Taehyung that he's going out to buy some school supplies for his Niece, but Taehyung doubt that. If he's buying then where's the Supplies?

The moment the younger step foot inside the living room he saw the older standing, back facing him.

"Hyung, what's wrong?"

Taehyung contemplated whether he's going to confront the younger about this. He wants to shout at him. Ask him question why, and most of all, does the younger still love him? Or he's been fooled from the beginning.

The older slowly turned around.

"No, nothing's wrong"

The older then crumpled the photo in his grasp, trying to fight the urge to cry and let his frustrations out. But is he to demand such thing?

"Have you eaten yet?" the older asked and he'll be lying to himself if he'll not admit to have caught the small smirk coming from the younger.
