"Make it a rule of life never to regret and never to look back. Regret is an appalling waste of energy; you can't build on it; it's only good for wallowing in."

"You're acting like this is your first time seeing this Yoongi. You know this look all too well."

He tried pinching Taehyung's cut shut the best he could. Blood flowing from his neck and mouth, Taehyung nearly choking in it."Please.... Please stay." Taehyung's eyes rolled to the back and soon his consciousness was slipping away from him.

Yoongi's eyes shot open again before he noticed the tears making their way down his cheek. He brought his sleeve to his eyes, dabbing away the tears. His room was filled with the dim light of his nighstand light he forgot to put off. Yoongi looked down at his shirt, gripping it tightly. The shirt smelled like Hoseok, managing to calm Yoongi down at least a little bit.

"Taehyung....."

"I'm so sorry...."

"It's quite alright." Yoongi eyes snapped to the doorway, Taehyung leaning against it. "How late is it?" Yoongi muttered. "4 am." Taehyung stepped inside the room, quietly closing the door behind him. "I thought you didn't have nightmares anymore... Is it getting worse again?" He sat down next to Yoongi and grabbed his hands. "No no.... It's getting way better it's just.... Sometimes one manages to slip through."

"What was it about?" Yoongi's eyes slowly fell on Taehyung's scar. Taehyung unconsciously trailed his scar when noticing the attention was on it. "Oh- about that...." Taehyung took a deep breath in before facing Yoongi. "I'm sorry I let that happen to you..." Yoongi muttered before Taehyung could even open his mouth.

"Hey, never apologize for that. You tried warning me, I was just too stubborn to listen. If there is someone to blame..." Taehyung dramatically pointed at himself. "...That would be me."

"I got you involved."

"I involved myself." Taehyung had a blank expression on his face. "Stop feeling guilty about this okay? I'm alive, I'm healthy, I can do anything... I just look different." Yoongi fumbled with Taehyung's fingers. "But I know you care about your looks."

"True... But do you know what I care about more?" Taehyung interlaced his fingers with Yoongi's. "You."

"I really don't deserve a friend like you." Taehyung grabbed Yoongi's blanket, crawling under it with his friend. "You can make up for it with a cuddle sesh." He muttered, pulling Yoongi close and shutting his eyes. "But-"

"Sleep."

"THAT'S MY BABY!" Taehyung screamed when Hayun went to walk up the stage to accept his diploma. Embarrassed, he gave Taehyung a small wave. Yoongi pulled Taehyung back in his seat, who huffed.

"Going to miss not seeing him as often anymore?" Taehyung raised his brow at his friend. "We have until the summer before he starts college... Plus he's staying in Seoul so I have good faith we will be just fine." Yoongi softly smiled at the optimism of his best friend. "Can't believe it's already end June."

"Time goes by quickly doesn't it?" Taehyung squeezed in Yoongi's hand. "Before... My life seemed to be so slow... Like an entirety that was refusing to pass by... and now... It seems like I'm sprinting past the days." Taehyung smiled proudly. His friend had made so many steps into the right direction. His face no longer seemed dull but was glowing from happiness. "By the way... Have you and Hoseok..."

"No." He patted Yoongi's thigh with a laugh. "I have condoms if you need any." Yoongi had the biggest fucking glare on his face while Taehyung was wiggling his brows. "Dad has been leaving them in my room everytime Hoseok and I were alone... Don't even worry about it."

Taehyung tried his best to contain his giggles, finding the situation very amusing. "All of you are insane." Yoongi sighed, leaning back in his chair. "Talking about insane, your boyfriend is wearing a damn hoodie while the sun is shining." Taehyung pointed to the front, where Hoseok was indeed standing at the sidelines in a thick blue hoodie. "He's cold easily, leave him alone." Taehyung rolled his eyes, pushing Yoongi playfully.

In the distance he saw that Hayun was leaving his parents's side and pridefully striding towards them. "Hi babe." Taehyung purred, Yoongi made it his own mission to get the living hell away from them. "Hello beautiful." Hayun scanned Taehyung up and down, a smirk playing on his face. "I'm so proud of you." Taehyung blurted out, cutting the sexual tension between them. "Thank you baby." Hayun picked Taehyung up, connecting their lips for a sweet and celebratory kiss.
