Hoseok spent the rest of the days leading up to the wedding in mental turmoil. All the memories he had made with Jimin, were being relived in his mind, and it was the last thing he wanted to happen.

Taehyung helped him through it, trying to make him see the brighter side of things. Once Jimin got married, he would leave Hoseok alone forever, and that's what he wanted.

Right?

Hoseok couldn't sleep either, spending most nights gazing up at the ceiling as his thoughts ran rampage, and while listening to Taehyung's steady breathing.

His mind was plagued by the word Jimin, the name repeating over & over again, as if it could make him return back to the days where he loved Jimin unconditionally.

But he couldn't go back, and he out of all people knew that, because Jimin didn't love him anymore either. It kind of tied into the whole 'just fucking move on' concept that Hoseok could never seem to grasp.

So here he was, staring up at the ceiling again, trying to find a place in his mind where he could shut out Jimin forever.

One night, as he lay there, he noticed that Taehyung's breathing wasn't deep or steady, as it usually was when he was asleep. Hoseok turned over to his side, seeing that Taehyung was facing him, eyes wide open.

"You're awake."

"So are you."

Hoseok chuckled, the way they both just stated the obvious being quite humorous. Then, he decided to look into Taehyung's eyes instead.

Hoseok found that looking at Taehyung was much more pleasing then looking at the ceiling.

"You're worrying about the wedding, aren't you?" Taehyung whispered, reaching out his hand to cup the side of Hoseok's face. Hoseok leaned into the touch, closing his eyes, and slowly nodding.

"I can't help it." Hoseok replied.

Taehyung smiled softly, wrapping his arms around Hoseok's body. "It's alright to be worried, I would be worried as well if I were in your situation."

Hoseok sighed, relaxing into Taehyung's hold, letting all of his worries and negative thoughts leave out the otherwise empty space.

Taehyung was right, Hoseok realized. Jimin was merely something that had happened in the past, and things that happened in the past were meant to be left there.

All Hoseok needed to do was let go.

~~~

Soon, the weekend of the wedding was upon them, and Taehyung was busy packing clothes and RSVPing to Jimin's invitation while Hoseok was working.

Victoria's Flower Shop was now a chain business, with multiple locations across the country. Hoseok often prided himself on making the business become successful, with the help of Taehyung of course.

Right now, Hoseok worked at one of the shops near his house. He was the manager, and CEO of course, and if he was to be gone for a couple days, he needed to make sure everything was in place in order for business to go on as usual.

Then, the weekend of April 15th arrived, and Hoseok found himself staring out the passenger side window as Taehyung drove them to the wedding location.

It was to be held in the mountains, at a small summer resort. The ceremony would be held in a small flower field, filled with lilac and daffodil flowers, fitting the yellow & purple theme, and then the reception would be held at the hotel close by.

Hoseok hoped it would rain.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Taehyung asked, placing his hand on Hoseok's knee, wanting to know if Hoseok wanted to change his mind before they pulled out of the driveway.

Hoseok shook his head. "It's alright, I need to do this." He placed his hand over Taehyung's, lightly squeezing it.

Taehyung nodded, putting the car into reverse and pulling out of the driveway.

Suddenly, Hoseok found that he was asleep, seeing as the drive was four hours long. He couldn't stand to bear his loud thoughts for that long, so he just checked out.

But he awoke again an hour later, finding them to be driving through a very familiar part of town.

"Where are we?" Hoseok asked, turning to find Taehyung bobbing his head slightly to some song playing softly from the radio.

"The shopping center." Taehyung replied.

Once year two of Hoseok still trying to get over Jimin passed, he decided to close up the flower shop, seeing as he had countless others across the country, and decided to move in with Taehyung, an hour out of town.

And yet here he was again.

Hoseok groaned, squeezing his eyes shut as he tried to will his mind back to sleep. But he couldn't.

The song filled the empty space between them, and Hoseok opened his eyes again, turning to look out the window.

They passed the original Victoria's Flower Shop, which had been converted into a book store, and Hoseok reached out his hand towards Taehyung.

"Stop the car."

Taehyung did as he was asked, looking at Hoseok in confusion as he continued to stare at the small store.

"I want to go in." Hoseok stated, as he began to unbuckle.

"Are you sure that's a good-" Taehyung began to ask, but was immediately shushed by Hoseok.

"I want to go in." Hoseok repeated, turning to make eye contact with Taehyung.

Taehyung sighed in frustration, gripping the steering wheel. "Let me park first."

He found a parking space near the shop, and as soon as he pulled the key out of the ignition, Hoseok jumped out of the car, and began walking towards the store.

"Hoseok, wait!" Taehyung called out, locking the car and then jogging to catch up with Hoseok. Hoseok ignored him, continuing his fast pace towards the entrance.

He pushed the door open, surprised to find that the owner had kept the little bell, which rang throughout the store as Hoseok entered, with Taehyung in tow.

"Ah, hello Hoseok hyung!" Namjoon called out from behind a bookshelf, where he was currently stacking books.

"Very nice of you to drop by. I wondered when you were going to take a look at the little business I run here."

Hoseok saw a pink mop of hair appear from behind the bookshelf, and Namjoon started to walk towards them.

When Hoseok set the place up for sale, he remembered how excited Namjoon was to try & start a little book store, one that he could run. So when he heard that Hoseok was cleaning out the place, he was one of the first people to jump at the chance to have it.

"Now, what can I do for you two today?" Namjoon asked, smiling at them.

Taehyung shrugged, not exactly knowing why Hoseok dragged him in there. He suspected it was because he wanted to see what Namjoon had done with the place.

"I just want to look around." Hoseok quickly replied.

"Of course. You can go into any room you wish, this used to be your's anyways." Namjoon smiled again. "Now if you'll excuse me, I need to return to shelving these new books." He waved at them, and went behind the same bookshelf.

Hoseok grabbed Taehyung's wrist, dragging him towards the storage room in the back, where they used to keep the many flowers they had in their collection.

Hoseok, however, was not expecting the room to look the same, and when he saw that many of the flower petals were still on the floor, he gasped.

The light in the far left corner still flickered, the bulb in need of changing, the floor was still grey & dull as always, and flower petals were still everywhere to be seen.

Namjoon hadn't even moved his own things into the room. It was as if he was afraid of destroying the beauty of the room.

Hoseok found that he was still holding onto Taehyung's wrist, his grip slowly tightening as Taehyung tried to pull away.

"Hoseok-ah, stop." He said firmly, and Hoseok let go, sensing the slight anger in his voice.

He couldn't bear to turn around face Taehyung, because the void inside his heart which he had once held his love for Jimin, was slowly opening again.

"We need to leave."

"I agree."

And with that, Taehyung and Hoseok left the store, thanking Namjoon on the way out, and getting back into the car, continuing their journey.
