CARD 5.

the clock from the professor's alarm rang, signalling that the end of the class is near. the students already started packing their bags.

"taehyung-ah, do you want to go out with me to the mall later?" eunbi asked him after their classes.

"let's go," he dismissed her coldly despite not forgetting to hold her hand.

"what's wrong?" eunbi asked him cautiously when no one was around.

he didn't answer her. the silence was bothering her because they haven't spoken at all since lunch. they both walked on silently. eunbi knew he just had those days where he didn't feel like talking and she respected that. she took out her phone and scrolled through her social media. taehyung got onto his bike and handed eunbi a helmet for herself. they kept their belongings in the storage box at the back of the motorbike. she wore it and got onto the bike after him.

the ride home was a quick one and they got home quicker than expected. they proceeded to enter the house and didn't speak a word to each other. eunbi went down to the basement, startling the two when she screamed for yewon. yewon answered her. when she went down she realised that the two are in a blushing mess. they wrapped it up and jungkook went up after asking for taehyung.

"he hasn't spoken to me since lunch, i don't quite understand why," eunbi pouted.

jungkook left the basement and went to their room. from a distance, he heard music coming from the door of the room he shared with taehyung.

So go ahead and break my heart again
Leave me wonderin' why the hell I ever let you in
Are you the definition of insanity?
Or am I? Oh, it must be nice
To love someone who lets you break them twice

Don't pretend that I'm the instigator
You were the one but you were born to say, "Goodbye"
Kissed me half a decade later
That same perfume, those same sad eyes

he sighed and went into the room with a knock. taehyung released one of his airpods and then acknowledged jungkook with a nod. they did their handshake and jungkook went to wash his face after the tutoring session with yewon. having to console his brother after a long session of drilling relaxes him a little now that he is able to go off topic for a bit.

"hey tae?" he interrupted the older singing.

taehyung just hummed in response, taking out his airpods and pausing whatever he was singing to for a while.

"are you, okay?" he started cautiously.

taehyung just looked at the younger in silence. he kept silent and jungkook didn't dare to push him further, telling taehyung that he could tell him whenever he is ready because jungkook has no intentions leaving his brother he promised by blood feel troubled the way he is right now. after a while, he managed to get taehyung to open up.

"well, remember that girl that i liked before?" taehyung started off.

"ofcourse," jungkook replied, "she left quite an impact on you how would i not remem-," he was interrupted when taehyung's next sentence caught him by surprise.

"i still think of her from time to time," he said with his head down low, continuing, "and i saw her again, few days ago. during work."

jungkook couldn't say anything or rather, his mind went blank. he didn't know the best way to comfort taehyung other than to give him space. this time however, he knew that if he gave taehyung the space he wanted, he might lose him again.

jirae isn't a bad person but let's just say that she wasn't necessarily a good one either.
