OUR PARALLEL UNIVERSE | BTS

SOMETIMES, IT'S OKAY TO BE A LITTLE LOST. A LITTLE bit out of place. It's okay if you let it go. 

But then again, something pulls you deeper into the void inside you. And you feel like drowning. You feel like you're losing yourself. 

And at the end of the day, you are convinced that you found yourself. But the scariest thing is, you're tempted to go deeper and deeper. This time nobody is pulling you in, but you're walking on your own, going deeper into the void. 

You're slowly killing yourself thinking you've found your true self. But instead, it's the evil trying to persuade you. And you realize, you were blind the whole time. 

Taehyung knew he knew he was blind. He knew the evil was persuading him. He knew he was slowly drowning himself into the puddle of darkness. 

But how could he not? 

How could he not be tempted by it? But his conscience still held him back, telling him it's not the time, it's the wrong way. 

And he's frustrated all damn time. He wanted to end everything or he wanted to end himself. He couldn't choose. Because somehow, 

this wasn't his choice.

The male stopped his movements and listened to the sound carefully. 

"Ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow"

Taehyung held his breath as he heard the voice muttering curses. One thing if Taehyung had, it was the sense of knowing what to do at the right time. 

And he knew his conscience was kicking in his gut when he heard footsteps following him. He tried to ignore but now, he wasn't able to anymore. 

The male slowly turned around as he carefully studied his surroundings. 

In front of him, there was a street lamp. And there, in front of the lamp, was a guy he could hardly recognize.

Taehyung's hoodie was down so no one would be able to recognize his face. So he was not worried about himself at that moment. 

What he did though was about the man standing in front of him. The man stood up from the place and looked up. His raven hair facing Taehyung as he tried not to make any sound.

But soon, the brunette became bored by just staring at the other male. Taehyung shrugged and turned around, continuing his journey back home. The male was about to step a bit further when he abruptly stopped in his tracks.

"Okay wait wait wait!"

Taehyung didn't know if it was him or someone else that man said him to wait, but he still stood straight. Taehyung knew he had a bad habit of following his unconscious conscience too much, but he couldn't help it okay.

And the worst thing was, as soon as he heard the next sentence, he became frozen. Goosebumps reached his spine as his hands became cold, eyes flew wide.

"I can still track him. You got this Hobi! You got this. You got this. You got this..."

---

Hoseok thanked whatever deity was up there to turn his luck back to him. The raven-haired boy shot a thank you towards the sky before he looked back at the black hoodie guy.

This time, I'll do it right! The male thought as he marched up to the hooded man. The man stood straight, frozen on his spot. It would be a total lie if Hoseok said he wasn't nervous and scared at all.

But before he could even say anything, the other male turned around. He moved so quickly that the poor boy didn't even have any time to register what was going on.

"Hoseok hyung!?"

---

This time, it was Hoseok's turn to stay still.

Taehyung blinked his eyes and stared at the other dumbly. Why isn't this hyung talking? Taehyung thought as Hoseok looked like he had been electrified. "Hyung?" the brunette said as he shook his right hand in front of the elder.

Did I freeze his brain? Taehyung got scared at the thought. What if he just wanted to say a hi but Taehyung scared him thinking he was some shabby murderer. 

Oh no! That'd be bad, the younger thought as he stepped forward shaking the other by the shoulders. "Hoseok hyung! Answer me! I'm Taehyung! Kim Taehyung! Alien Tae! Remember!"The brunette shouted right in front of the other's face.

Hoseok came out of his shock soon and gave the other a bright smile. Or Taehyung thought that was bright. "H-Hey! So night to meet you Tae!" the raven headed boy said and patted Taehyung's back.

The brunette showed his boxy smile, so glad to meet the other after a while. "How are you doing hyung? It's been a while since I lost contact with you guys." Taehyung said. And being the affectionate boy he is, he didn't even hesitate before engulfing the other into a bear hug.

Hoseok laughed as he hugged him back before pulling away. Now that was the hyung I've been searching for, Taehyung grinned at the thought.

But he then remembered why he turned around the first place before looking at the older with awe. "Hyung, why were you following me?" Taehyung asked.

And he could visibly see the other hesitating a bit. "Uh yeah....about that-um... I wanted to return to you this. You seem to accidentally drop them in the ground." Hoseok replied to the younger before he pulled something from his pocket.

A set of keys.

Taehyung looked at the keys dumbfoundedly before he scanned the key chain and had a full-blown mind shock. "My keys!" The younger cried before he took the keys from the other. Oh thank god, Taehyung thought as he stared at the other with gratefulness.

But before he could even thank him, a sound interrupted their little moment. Taehyung realized it was his phone ringtone. "Oh um-excuse me for a sec." the younger said in a hurry before fishing out his phone. He examined the caller ID before his eyes went wide.

Noona.
