The Pandoras Box we've made

CHAPTER 6: The Tears

"Why the hell did you bring me here?" Taehyung asked Jungkook as he can hear people sobbing everywhere.

"You can't cry in the public right? So maybe you can cry here?" Jungkook told him as he smiled. They are inside the cinema where a movie that was really sad was being shown. "In here you will not be embarrassed since no one will care about you if you cry coz everyone else was crying as well."

"I don't know if you are smart or just crazy. Besides this is a two-hour movie. Your mother is waiting for you right? Let's go out already... I don't feel like crying anymore you ruined the atmosphere by bringing me here." Taehyung said as he stands up but Jungkook grab his hand but he immediately let go of it.

"Do...don't go. I mean... I know you are not fine at all. Who will be fine after a break up right? Especially if you really like that someone. Don't worry I will not laugh at you... I will not tell anyone this side of you. I will make it a secret... If you want I will not look at you... I will just concentrate on the movie and so...use this time to sober." Jungkook said and then finally Taehyung settled down and decided to stay. "You want me to sit away from you?"

"No... stay here. I hate darkness. Take responsibly and accompany me. It's your fault why we are here."

The two remained watching the movie and majority of the viewers are girls who all have handkerchief with them to wipe their tears away. Taehyung thought it's creepy for Jungkook to know such movie and wanting to watch it.

"It seems like you are really serious with Jimin. You really love him right?" Jungkook asked him all of a sudden. "It's the first time I saw you like that... begging someone not to go."

"How did you know his name?"

"I... I heard his name while the two of you are conversing. "

"Jimin is someone really important to me. He was not only my best friend but he was also my savior." Taehyung started. "In times when I was in doubt of things surrounding me, he cleared everything for me. I met an accident when I am 11 years old and in that accident I lost all my memories of my childhood. I didn't know anyone and so when I woke up after a month of coma, it seems like I am living in a very different and scary world. I didn't know anyone, I didn't know myself as well. It was terrifying. After I woke up, my mother brought me to Daegu where I met Jimin. For some reason he knew who I am already even If I don't know him yet. Because we are in the same age we became really close to each other. He told me stories of my past which I can't remember. In my depression, Jimin became my savior and later on I fall in love with him."

"I... I didn't know you are suffering something like that."

"But then a month before the end of school year, Jimin disappeared in our town and he just leave a letter telling me about his feelings. Since then I never saw him again but I heard that he was in Seoul. When I arrived here I search for him but I can't find him. That time that we are together in the park and it's raining, I saw him and tried to follow him but he vanished."

"So that's why you run away that time." Jungkook replied back.

"I didn't know why Jimin decided to break up with me. I didn't know the reason behind his odd behavior. I always asked him but he don't want to answer. It's like he was avoiding something. I don't know but he was like my mother. They are both keeping secret from me but... I trust Jimin more than anyone else. He is the only one I trusted and I really care about him and so... I don't want to see him hurt anymore."

"What do you mean?"

"I don't know but whenever he look at my face he always have this hurt expression on his face. He smile, he laugh but then I feel like deep inside those feelings are fake. I guess I am just imposing my feelings for him... maybe he really didn't like me at all."

"I disagree with you in that." Jungkook replied back while looking at the screen directly. "I heard everything from your conversation and if Jimin's feeling was really like that then he will not sound like he was hurting that time. The tone of his voice is so sad like he didn't want to do what he is doing. I don't know why he did that but I can assure you that he love you too."

Taehyung just look at Jungkook that time, observing him as he watched the movie. His view was blurred and he can't see clearly his face but he knew he was there, breathing and living. He never showed anyone his weakness coz he didn't want to be look down by others but now he can't help himself but show it to this guy. Without any hesitation, without a single trace of doubts, he lean his head on Jungkook's shoulder like it's the only place he can turn on that moment. "I love him." he whispered softly. "I love him so much, what should I do now?" he whimpered.

Jungkook was surprised with the sudden action but he never resisted, more likely he embraced Taehyung's weakness and leaned his shoulder openly. For a weak man needs a shoulder to lean on and ones rise up he will be born renew. "Move forward... it's the only thing you can do." Jungkook whispered on him and after that he just hear Taehyung's little sobs. It was small cries of pain being release from his broken heart. "After you cry, new life is waiting for you."

Finally the movie was over and the two went out of the cinema. While walking outside Jungkook received a call that his mother was already outside and going to pick him up.

"Is that your mother?" Taehyung asked him.

"Yeah... she is already in front and waiting for me." Jungkook answered. "Are you alright now?"

Taehyung nodded his head.

"I am glad." Jungkook smiled. "Ne Taehyung, who do you think is suffering more? The one who forget or the one who is forgotten?"

"What's with that random question? Are you hooked up with that movie that we watched that you get over it?"

"Just answer it."

"Isn't that the one who forget... living in this world without knowing anything about the past. It seems like a part of you is stolen and you are incomplete."

"As for me... it's is the one who is forgotten... specially if you are with someone who can't even recall nor remember who you are at all." Jungkook answered while looking at Taehyung's eyes seriously. They stayed like that for seconds and then Jungkook break it on his own as he smiled back at him. "I think... Jimin is just troubled but I know he likes you too."

"Don't talk like you understand anything. It's annoying"

"Why?"

"Coz it feels like you have a superpower and you can see everything through me." Taehyung answered back and Jungkook just giggled and then all of a sudden he heard someone call his name and then he saw his mother standing at one area.

"Mom." Jungkook called as he stand up. Taehyung also stand up and then he bowed down as a sign of respect to Jungkook's mother. It's his first time to saw her but she think that Jungkook have a great genes since his mother is beautiful and looks so young too. Taehyung noticed that Jungkook's mother was looking at him seriously for a moment like he saw someone he knew but then Jungkook interrupted by calling her attention. "Mom, I want to introduced you to a friend of mine."

"Koo...Jungkook... i...isn't that..." Minah, Jungkook's mother name, uttered but before she was able to finished her words Jungkook already interrupted.

"Mom, this is Taehyung.... He is the new classmate I am talking about to you. Taehyung, this Is my mom Minah, Jeon Minah." Jungkook introduced the two to each other. Minah look at Jungkook seriously and then he look back at Taehyung who was also looking at her.

"Nice meeting you. Please take care of my son from now on."

"I...I will." Taehyung replied out of respect but he really didn't consider her son as his friend though it maybe change that day.

"I need to go. See you tomorrow." Jungkook wave his hand as him and his mother leaves the park.

Jungkook and his mother went inside the car that is in the parking area and as Minah was putting her seatbelt she look at the back and saw Jungkook looking outside. "Jungkook... you owe me an explanation. Why is HE with you?"

"I know mom... I'm sorry about hiding this from you." Jungkook answered back.

...

Yoongi rushed going to the front gate after his class. Namjoon send him a message that they are waiting for him because they wanted to hang out. They planned to go to the new restaurant that he saw the other day. It's hard being separated to the class that you used to be with and having different schedule. As he reach the gate he saw Namjoon waving his hand to call his attention. Jungkook and Jin was also there and looking at him.

"Yoongi, you're late." Namjoon said as he punch lightly Yoongi's shoulder.

"I'm sorry." Yoongi apologized. "Let's go."

They are about to go when Jungkook noticed Taehyung walking together with his bicycle. Jungkook excused himself for a moment and approached him. He asked him to go with them and eat together but Taehyung refused instantly. With a little talk again, finally Taehyung agreed. Namjoon and the others didn't expect Taehyung will join them but since Jungkook invited him, they can't say no even they really didn't want to have him since they don't like his attitude.

They walk all together going to the new restaurant which is called BangTan. It opened last week and everyone who already experienced it said that they really have good food and the ambiance inside is great coz there are live bands and singers singing while you are eating. After 10 minutes of walking they finally reached the place.

They are welcomed by waiters wearing maid and butler costumes and they guided them to a table for 5 and then they are given their menus where they can choose what food they wanted to eat.

"kookie, what will be your order?" Yoongi asked Jungkook.

"Well... I take pasta and then a hot green tea." Jungkook said as he look at the menu given to them.

"You really eat less... why don't you try this? I think this is good for you." Yoongi suggested as he point something on the menu. "It's veggies and so I think it will be great for you."

Jin was sneaking a look towards the two and he can't handle the scene in front of him. Namjoon on the other hand was also busy looking for something to eat and he also asked Jungkook about his opinion about it. Taehyung on the other hand was just observing everyone and by just looking at the scene in front of him he can sense what is going on between the circle of friends.

"Whoa... look who is here." someone said from somewhere.

"Y...Yugyeom?" Namjoon asked while pointing on a small guy who was approaching their table "Wh..What are you doing here?"

"Isn't that something I should ask?" Yugyeom asked while giving them a smirk. "This is my family's business I am here to help." He answered and then when he saw Yoongi, Jungkook and Jin smiling at him he greeted them back. "So you are still together huh... even in the last year of high school."

"Actually Yoongi was separated in class." Jungkook answered. "It's been a while when I saw you Yugie, since you transferred school everyone really misses you."

"You're humble as always Jungkookie, it's something I miss." Yugyeom answered and then he averted his eyes towards Taehyung who stared at him. "Oh a new face? Never seen him before. Hi, I'm Yugyeom, and I am studying in your school for my two years in highschool but I am now transferred to Shinee High. I am Namjoon's childhood friend."

"Taehyung, Kim Taehyung I am not really a new friend of them. I just came coz I'm bored." Taehyung replied back to him.

Yugyeom look at him closer and then he suddenly shouted like he remembered something in his mind. "Yo...you are that guy. You are that guy that is chosen to performed in front with Bigbang but suddenly walk out. I am there... I am watching and then you suddenly walk away making the audience stunned and even the leader of Bigbang."

"What are you talking about?" Namjoon asked Yugyeom.

"Don't tell me you don't know Bigbang? Stupid Namjoon?" Yugyeom asked him.

"Don't call me that."

"Why? I used to call you that before..."

"Shut up."

"Namjoon, I think it was the topic that everyone was talking about last last week." Jin told him. "It's been a big topic in our classroom since there are lots of students who saw it."

Namjoon flicked his finger as he already remembered what Yugyeom was talking about. "I remember already. So you also come that time and watch the performance?" he asked to his friend who just nodded his head proudly.

"But why did you suddenly walked out that time? Is there something wrong with you? Don't tell me you don't know how to play guitar nor sing? Or you got nervous and embarrassed all of a sudden?" Yugyeom asked Taehyung straightly.

"Taehyung knows how to play guitar." Jungkook said all of a sudden.

"How did you know?" Yoongi asked Jungkook.

"Well... he played guitar when we are in the music room. He is also a good singer. His voice is not bad at all." Jungkook explained.

"Then... why did he... why did he walk out?" Jin asked as he glanced at Taehyung who became the center of attraction between the friends.

"Do you want to play guitar and sing? You can perform here... the live band is about to finished." Yugyeom suddenly offered. "If Jungkook is right that you are a good singer then singing in front is not a problem right? Any song will be fine."

"I don't wanted to." Taehyung declined immediately.

"Are you nervous? Or maybe scared? Maybe you have stage fright?" Yoongi asked him. "If what Jungkook said is right then there is nothing to fear right? Singing in front of this few people..."

"I am not here to sing. I am here to eat." Taehyung answered.

"If he didn't want to then don't. I can sing too. If you want I'll rap and also sing instead." Namjoon said but Yugyeom suddenly burst out laughing. "Hoy... what are you giggling over there."

"Nothing." Yugyeom snorted and before he continued his words he have a deep breathe. "Then I have a suggestion, why don't you sing with Yoongi and Namjoon? This two are good singers too I guess you will not be nervous or fear if you are singing with someone else."

Taehyung think for a moment as he look at everyone's eyes towards him. They waited for his answer if they will do what Yugyeom suggested. Taehyung wanted to fight the fear within him and he always thought that doing it will do the trick but everytime he tried he gives up instantly but he never tried doing it with someone else and so he take the opportunity given to him. Maybe singing with someone else, being watched by audience, will open his path towards what he wanted to know.

He finally said his yes and Yugyeom lead the three to prepare for their performance after the band that was singing at the moment. The three decided for a song and what they will going to do. Yoongi will be the lead rapper/singer and Taehyung will play the guitar while Namjoon will play the bass and a sub rapper. As the stage was prepared for the three of them, Taehyung has a doubt if he can really do it or not?

Namjoon was the first one who steps on the stage and everyone who was eating watched him as he fix the microphones and tuned his bass. Taehyung steps forward slowly checking the atmosphere around. His eyes are glancing from side to side checking the people who are watching them. His heart was beating faster again and he can feel nervous all over his body. He feels his fingers being stiffened like there is no oxygen flowing on it.

"Are you alright?" Yoongi asked him as he tap his back.

"Don't be nervous." Namjoon cheered him up.

Taehyung sigh and held a deep breathe as ones again he check all the faces of all the people inside. There are almost 20 people added to that was Jungkook, Yugyeom, and Jin who were sitting on their place. He tuned the guitar that he was holding and then finally Yoongi started to talk in the microphone.

"Good day. I am Min Yoongi, this is Kim Namjoon and Kim Taehyung. We are student from BigHit Academy and we are here to present you a little entertainment. I hope you will enjoy it." Yoongi greeted the people and then another group of high school girls entered the restaurant and they giggled when they saw Yoongi at the stage. Yoongi is really popular with girls because of his prince like aura. Yoongi look at Namjoon and Taehyung signaling them to start.

Namjoon started to play his bass first like what they planned. It's like a little exhibition of each instrument that they used. After a few seconds it's time for Taehyung to do it but then he was already late with the timing to the sound that Namjoon is making. Yoongi look at Namjoon wondering why it seems like the music was off and Namjoon signaled Yoongi to look at Taehyung who was not moving into his position at all.

"Is his stage fright really that strong?" Yugyeom asked in whisper.

"Why?" Jin asked Yugyeom.

"Well... he should be playing already but... he is not moving at all."

Yoongi look at Taehyung and he called his attention by stomping his right foot. Taehyung look at him and then he signaled him to start playing the guitar. Taehyung did but at first it was flat and wrong but soon it finally goes with the timing with Namjoon's bass. Finally Yoongi started to sing and rap accompanied by namjoon and the girls was so happy to hear his voice.

The song is about pleading for the love of someone you like and while Yoongi was singing it he was looking at Jungkook who was silently cheering for them on his seat. Jin on the other hand was looking at Yoongi and he is being amazed with his voice but his eyes looking at the other direction was bothering him. Jin look at Jungkook and he noticed that his best friend was staring with someone else and it was Taehyung.

Taehyung continued to play the guitar but his mind is going elsewhere. The voices keeps on ringing on his hear that it hurts him so much. He was already panting until he stopped midway and that surprised the audience. Taehyung take off the guitar from him and then he went to where his bag is left and when he pick it up he immediately exited the restaurant while Yoongi and Namjoon was still continuing what they started.

Jungkook is about to follow Taehyung but Yugyeom stop him for a moment. "Yugyeom? Why?"

"Following him? And then what are you going to tell him?" Yugyeom asked him but Jungkook just give him a silent response. "Person like that is the most difficult to handle since they are kind of person who is hiding something deep inside of them. Fear is not something that can be healed with words. It's not like I am stopping you but if you don't know what you must do then just leave him alone or else you will just make things worst for him."

"Don't worry." Jungkook uttered confidently. "I know him well... more than anyone else here." He continued as he exited the place leaving Yugyeom puzzled about what he just said.
