Taehyung's POV

I can't believe it's been a year and a half since we told ARMY we would be doing solo music for a while.

I have always known that Namjoon Hyung is more sensitive than he lets on, but I have only seen him cry not even a handful of times.

I know what you're thinking: Get to the point, Taehyung.

Alright, here is what I wanted to say.

Back in August, I found out the same day as ARMY that Namjoon Hyung's dog had passed away.

I was shocked, but not that shocked that Hyung didn't tell me.

What I wasn't expecting was for Namjoon Hyung to call me up after his live stream.

"Taehyung," he said.

"Are you in the studio?" he asked me.

"Yes, why?" I said.

"Can you come over," he asked.

I was quite surprised so I said something stupid.

"Why?" I asked and I regretted it straight away.

"It's fine. I'll see you some other time," he said.

I came back to my senses and said, "Wait, Joonie Hyung."

"I'm sorry. Of course I'll come over," I said.

"Thank you," he said.

I went straight to Namjoon Hyung's studio and knocked on the door.

"Hyung it's me," I said.

Namjoon Hyung opened the door but I could tell something was off.

Once I was inside, Namjoon Hyung closed the door and we both sat down.

I could tell that he was upset, but I know Namjoon Hyung, and the best way to get him to open up is let him tell you first or ask an easier question and see how he answers.

"I saw your live, Hyung," I said.

"Oh," he said. "So you know about Moni, then."

"Yeah," I said.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner," he said.

"It's alright, Hyung, I know why you didn't," I said.

He nodded and smiled, but I could see he was trying not to cry.

I sighed and put a hand on Hyung's shoulders.

"Hyung, you know you don't have to tell me everything, but I'm here when you need me," I said.

I was surprised when he hugged me and started crying.

Even though I was taken aback, I did the only thing I knew to do.

I pushed Namjoonie Hyung's head onto my shoulder and ran my hands through his hair.

You might ask why I did that, but I saw Yoongi Hyung and Jimin do it a lot, especially in lock down.

I didn't bother saying 'let it out' because I could tell that would make Namjoon Hyung want to stop crying at the time.

I didn't want that to happen, even though it broke my heart. Hyung needed to grieve Rap Mon properly.

It took a while, but Namjoon Hyung managed to calm himself down after 20 minutes.

You might think that sounds like a long time, but you first need to think about something.

This is Namjoon Hyung we are talking about, and I bet you he was doing everything possible to keep himself busy.

Another thing is that because it's Hyung, I don't think a good 20 minute crying session every once in a while will do him any harm.

Namjoon Hyung thanked me.

"Why did you help me, Tae? he asked.

I smiled and said, "Hyung, like I said, you can come to me anytime."

"If there's one thing that will always be true, it is that we will always be friends."

After I said this, Hyung looked like he might cry again. But he took a deep breath and just said, "Thank you" while smiling.

He hugged me one more time and was shaking, but I could tell he wasn't crying.

"Love you, Namjoonie Hyung," I said.

"Love you, too, Taetae," he said.
