Taehyung

After my father left, I slowly came back out of the room to find Jimin waiting for me.  As soon as I saw him, my tears broke free, and he hugged me tight.

“Tae… It’ll be okay.  It’ll be okay.”  He patted my back, waiting for my sobs to slow.

“Chim…  What am I going to do?”  sniffle… “I want him, but… I don’t know if I should do this.  You know the permanence of it.  He’ll lose everything.  What kind of Mer would I be if I did that to him?”

“It’s been done before.  …  It’s rare, because of what you said.  But, it is possible.  …  He has to love you enough to want to leave all that behind.”

Author’s POV

Taehyung never met up with Jungkook the next day.  Instead he spent the next 2 weeks with his brothers and his friends.  He thought and thought and thought about him and Jungkook.  Coming to the conclusion that no matter how strong his feelings are for the boy, he couldn’t possibly take him away from his family.  So he spent his time trying to see if he could go back to the way his life was before they met.

Taehyung was happy.  But it wasn’t complete happiness.  Not like he felt before.

“Tae!  I found another one!”  Jimin came swimming over toward Taehyung with another bottle in his hand.

“Daebak!  Open it up!  What does it say?”  Taehyung asked.

As Jimin was reading the note, his mouth dropped open and he looked up at Taehyung.

“Jimin!  Tell me!”  Taehyung pleaded, his anticipation increasing.

“Oh… it’s just this guy wanting his wife back.  I guess she left him or something.”  Jimin lied.  He didn’t know if what he just did was right or wrong, but Taehyung was finally getting back to normal.  He didn’t want to see his friend hurt again.

Taehyung lightly punched his hyung in the arm.  “Yaaa.  You made it look like it was important!”  The note that was still in Jimin’s hand came loose, and floated away from him.

Taehyung quickly swam over to it, snatched it before he could get it back, and opened up the letter.
