kim taehyung;

i thought that, now that i know a little bit more about seokjin, we would be more comfortable each other. but it as though life played the reverse uno card. he is just more uncomfortable around me. as soon as our eyes meet, he looks away. he does everything possible to avoid conversation with me. most importantly he doesn't screech when i talk with my mouth open. "look seokjin- i don't know why you have been avoiding me but today is a saturday. we are free today. so it is alright if you don't want to look at me or talk to me. can we just exercise together because i don't want to go there alone", i said swallowing the soft cake. he nodded, ". i am not ignoring you taehyung" he spoke. "well great the. now can we please burn all the calories we have accumulated over the past week", i speak.  "you are just like him" he murmured.

"i know. i hear that often", i speak loudly. "i am sorry- i didn't mean it like that", i say quickly hiding my mouth with my palm. he rubbed his red ears, "i-i am sorry. you- you just remind me of my brother. i just can't he-help but feel as though i am relieving my moments with him.", he rambled. "you want to talk about it. i will listen", i said with a smile. he nodded, "can you listen while we pick some weights", he asked. i nodded with a chuckle, "i would love that", i add.

the gym was empty (either because everyone is lazy or because everyone just wants to give us our personal space) . we both start to warm up. "your smile. i remember that night when we first met. your smile. it just reminded me of my brother. our silly arguments and our constant bickering. it reminded me of my brother. you did eat lunch with me too. you didn't leave me alone. not for a moment. just like my brother. every one around me hated me but he stuck with me. you did the same, although i was rude to you. your love for puppies. that was something not only you and my brother but i have in common with you too and the day i cuddled you to wake you up. oh dear lord. that i never did with my brother either and then you told me your story-", seokjin spoke. his amiable expression turning sour.

i took a deep breathe. i knew i shouldn't have told him about it. he picked a weight from the stand and walked to the center of the room. "at first i couldn't help but admire you. you were so brave. you witnessed a death but you could still smile. you were ready to be here although your brother was the one who was actually involved. i know it was just an accident and neither of the two were responsible, i couldn't help but admire your love for your brother. i know he would do the same for me. but then i thought-", seokjin paused. he looked at me and then spoke again "i mean- that is when i started realizing there were many more things which were extremely similar. you both just love to exercise. you are both extremely competitive.you both value family. also you both talk with food in your mouth and have an unhealthy obsession with pizza." seokjin completed. 

i groan, "okay. i am not competitive. also i do not have an obsession with pizza. i just appreciate good food", i exclaimed earning a chuckle. "so is that it- you don't want to talk to me because i am just like your brother", i ask picking another weight. he looked away, "my brother who is dead", seokjin said without any emotion. i watch seokjin carefully. his face relaxes as he puts the weight down. a bead of sweat trickling down his forehead. i knew seokjin was honest but i also knew he wasn't telling me everything.

author;

aye mates! this girl is here with another chapter. i don't know even what i am doing at this point.  i am just writing because i really have nothing better to do. my ideas are literally all over the place and i feel like i am loosing my original story line because i can't even remember it. but do i care. no!

just warning you all, this may not turn out as good as it was intended to be. because my little brain is confused as hell- 

anyway. have fun you people. and don't listen to the silly haters because a wise man once said

" haters gonna hate,
players gonna play,
live a life man, good luck "
