TaeKook One Shots

Bracelet of Fate 2: Ring of Eternity

Taehyung's POV

"Let's go home," I said as I linked my arm on my best friend.

"You're joking right?" Hoseok looked at my expression and he let out a horrified howl when he noticed that I'm serious. "Bitch seriously? It hasn't even been 20 minutes! I haven't even had a body shot yet!"

"I'm tired. I wanna sleep," I insisted though my tone is lifeless.

"Why? What about that Bogum guy? Thought you guys were hitting it off?"

"Yeah..." I trailed. "We're good friends now."

"Good friends?" Hoseok scoffed. "Bitch, we didn't come here to play Barney looking for friends. We're here to find you a decent guy so you can finally love, love, love!"

I smiled weakly. I appreciate his efforts but I wasn't feeling it despite the fact it's been a whole month when I left already.

"Let's just go Hobi please?"

"Fine..." Hoseok sighed dejectedly and collected his leather jacket.

When we arrived home, I knew Hoseok was going to give me a piece of his mind so I mentally prepared myself.

"Hold up! You're not going anywhere yet mister."

Knew it.

"You do know that the purpose of us having night outs is for you to get over from your adorable precious bunny right?" Hosoek started.

"Yeah I know."

"So what in the world? After a whole month of clubbing and getting wasted, you still haven't chosen a guy?"

"I didn't like any of them," I simply answered. And I don't think I'll like anyone else anyway.

Hoseok rolled his eyes. "Literally hundreds of guys are dying to date you but you shut them off!"

"Well what can I do?!" I countered in a higher tone. "What can I do when I want to move on but my heart can't? What can I do when in every male I meet, I can't help but compare them to my Kookie?! What good are those million guys lining up when my heart wants Jungkook?! It's no good coz my heart knows who it wants but it can't have it!"

"Tae..."

I can't hold it in anymore. I lashed out. "There may be millions of guys ready to date me but it doesn't matter cause they're not Jungkook! I want to get over him! I want this pain to go away but no matter how hard I try, I still find myself running back to him! It's him. It's going to be him along the way and that's the fact I've tried to run away from."

That night, I cried in Hobi's arms until my eyes hurt, until I was breathless. But no matter how much I cry, the pain still wouldn't go away.

Stubborn heart. Can't you understand that what you want simply can't come true?!

"Hey Tae!"

"Hey Hyeonjun," I greeted back my workmate.

"It's lunchtime. Should we go eat together?" he offered while flashing a dazzling smile.

"Oh uhmm..." I shook my head and forced an awkward smile. "I want to just be alone today. I'm sorry."

"Oh..." he said, obviously disappointed. "Maybe next time then?"

I was about to answer but a voice cut through.

"There's not gonna be a next time," said someone sternly.

My breath hitched and the hairs on my arms stood. That voice. I know that too well. Even in my dreams I hear it. I swiveled my head at my back where the voice came and I felt the air got knocked out of my lungs. My world literally stopped spinning.
