Jeongguk comes to him in what must be the middle of the night.
Taehyung knows it is him because no one but Jeongguk touches his hand with such care, brushes his hair out of his face with such tenderness. It is Jeongguk, Taehyung knows that before Jeongguk even starts speaking.
But when he does, he realises that Jeongguk is sad.
"They're taking you home tomorrow.", he whispers.
"I'm- I'm supposed to be happy for you but I'm not. Does that- does that make me a bad person, Taehyung?"
Taehyung wants to pull his fairy into his arms and tell him that no, he could never be a bad person, that he does not want to be away from him, either.
Because that is what this is about, is it not?
Taehyung hopes so.
"I wish I could keep looking after you.", Jeongguk says quietly, and his hand caresses Taehyung's face.
"But they're taking you home, which is good, but..."
He doesn't finish the sentence, and he doesn't have to.
Instead, Taehyung feels a kiss on his cheek, a tender, loving kiss.
"I'll pray for you, Taehyung.", Jeongguk whispers and Taehyung feels the wetness of tears on his skin.
"So you will be able to dance properly again."
And then, the lips and the hand of the fairy left him, and Taehyung only hears a whispered 'goodbye, Taehyung' before the door falls shut.
Taehyung's heart shatters into a thousand pieces.
