ASHES

Tags: Angst, MCD 😊

"I want to skip classes. This is getting boring. Soulmates stuff, I know all about it." Taehyung whispered in Seokjin's ears as their last professor leave the room. Their next class will be in five minutes and Taehyung is Hella bored. He knows about soulmates and stuff since he found his already so the need to learn more won't be necessary.

It was easy how Taehyung got Seokjin, he was around his life for quite a time and when Taehyung turned 20, they knew that he is soulmates with Seokjin. He broke up with his current boyfriend to be with him because social structure dictates so. Soulmates shall be with their significant others.

"We can't." Seokjin said. Unlike Taehyung, Seokjin is in love with his soulmate. Between the two, he is the first one to know that they are fated to be with each other. For Seokjin already feels the connection right before he saw their moon shaped marks fitting each other and glowing at the moment the right time came on Taehyung's birthday.

"Why? You're so lame. You keep studying and studying. You're no fun. Tsk." Taehyung remarked and stood up to leave the room. Seokjin just sighed, it had always been like this. He knew Taehyung didn't loved him as much as he does, but Seokjin has faith that even just five percent, Taehyung feels something especially now that they are almost a year in a relationship.

He shrugged the ugly feeling off. Taehyung will come around and talk to him again, he knows that the unsettling feeling of knowing what emotions Seokjin feels won't let him rest. Too bad, he's not restless because he feels guilty, he is restless because he wants Seokjin to stop feeling as it gives him great amount of discomfort.

"For today's topic: Your Soulmates and how You affect them." the professor started. "Open your books on page 113."

Seokjin intently listened as she explained why and how soulmates emotions works and sometimes can lead to dying especially when it comes to infidelity. Soulmates should be 100% loyal or else, goodbye poor mate. Seokjin shuddered at the thought but he hoped that Taehyung won't do such thing.

After class, he waited for Taehyung to come pick him up, but he didn't. Seokjin thought that he is drunk again on their apartment or sleeping or playing games with his ex turned best friend Jungkook. Seokjin is so uncomfortable with that but he didn't spoke a word because every time Jungkook is there, Taehyung is happy. So happy that he never noticed Seokjin's pain. He had no choice but to walk back to their apartment and when he opened the door, he was right. Jungkook is there.

Seokjin greeted them but the two doesn't seem to care. They were laughing their assess off. Seokjin just passed by them and slept in his room. That night, he never thought that someone's joy is painful not until today. he tried hard to be enough but everyday, Taehyung proves him wrong.

The next morning, he saw the two huddled up in the couch. Seokjin felt a pang in his chest. Yes, him and Taehyung is living together because of Taehyung's parents' order but Taehyung never considered him as home. It had always been Jungkook.

It was a Saturday morning, Seokjin knows that Taehyung will leave and hang out with his friends that day. And by friends he means Jimin and Jungkook. Seokjin is not dumb, he knows that Jimin is just an excuse so Taehyung and Jungkook could go on a date. He knew because one time, he went to the mall to buy some stuff and saw Jimin left Taehyung and Jungkook who by that time were holding hands and smiling so wide. He looked at the necklace he was wearing, all this time, he hoped Taehyung noticed t and spark a memory, but Seokjin guessed he won't remember. He removed it and put it his pocket. Everywhere he goes, he took it with him, especially when he saw how almost every day, Jungkook and Taehyung is all over each other as if he never existed.
