"Come in. It's okay, my parents left for a business trip."

"O-okay."

Jungkook said following the serious looking Jimin to his room. They both stayed silent bearing the awkwardness since they haven't talk properly after the party.

"Jungkook."

Jimin said and smiled at his boyfriend which made the atmosphere lighter. Jimin then motioned Jungkook to sit beside him on his bed which he did.

Jungkook hanged his head low and reached for Jimin's hands and held it tightly while his thumbs rubs it in a comforting circle.

"Jimin, sorry for what happened last time."

He sighed and Jimin held his hands back tightly making him look at his boyfriend.

"Babe? Uhmm i-it's okay."

Jimin said and gave Jungkook a short and sweet kiss.

Shortly after, Jungkook responded as he wrap his arms around Jimin's waist while Jimin wrapped his around Jungkook's neck.

Slowly, the sweet kiss became a heated, lustful one as Jungkook pushed Jimin on the bed without letting go of the other's lips.

"Now I understand."

Bogum said as he took a sip of his coffee while gently brushing and playing with Taehyung's hair who was lying on the couch and using his lap as a pillow.

"His parents even threatened you saying that your brother will not be able to study anymore or that they can destroy all your father's works...Tsk! That's the lowest."

Bogum hissed as he rolled his eyes while loudly putting his mug down on the center table.

"Hyung...it's okay now. I don't hate them. They are parents and they just wanted what they think is the best for their child."

Taehyung softly said while staring blankly ahead.

"But still...Tae, why didn't you tell him?"

Taehyung didn't respond. Instead, he curled himself smaller and Bogum just sighed in defeat. He didn't want to force Taehyung to tell him everything. He just wanted to be there for him.

"Hey...Tae, what do you want?"

He said but only silence responded as he continued playing with Taehyung's soft hair. He wanted to help him but he needs to know what the other wants or else, it would only cause the younger more harm.

Bogum had feelings for Taehyung but he just let it easily fade away when the younger became Jungkook's lover. It may be because he really didn't fall in love that hard or that what he felt was something special but less than the 'love' that mostly only adults know of.

Though until now, he still feels something for Taehyung. It's a feeling of wanting to protect him, wanting to make him happy and wanting to be there for him, no matter what. He himself doesn't understand but Taehyung seems to trigger those emotions inside him.

He didn't have a chance to figure out what are those emotions before but maybe this time, he will.

"I want to forget."

After the long silence, finally, Taehyung was able to mumble his reply, softly, but thanks to the silence around them, the older clearly heard what he said. Bogum smiled, having an idea on how to help him.

"Then, come with me."

~•~•~••~•~•~

Shit. Why do I keep on thinking about you?

Your face kept on showing up as I tried to distract myself by kissing in a more aggressive way...but lewd images of you keep on flashing inside my mind!

Instead of hearing his muffled moans, your voice echoed in my head. When I touched his hands, I remembered your warmth. I am kissing his neck but I could smell your sweet scent. Rather than feeling satisfied by seeing his pleading eyes, I was constantly being reminded by your desperate ones.

I should be happy doing it with him but why do I feel like this?

Why does this feel so wrong?

"Stop."

Jimin said in a low stern voice and I slowly raised my head, giving him a confused look.

"Let's stop here."

He said as he pushed himself to sit up and button his shirt.

"Why? This is a rare chance to do what we want since your parents-"

"What we want?"

He mumbled but I heard him clearly mentioning that part and it made me worry as I tried to touch his face but he avoided my hand.

"Sorry, I just don't feel like doing it and...you don't either, right?"

He stated and gave me a forced smile. I don't know what's worrying him but he's correct. I'm not thinking right.

"Okay...I won't force you."

"No."

He whispered and looked away as he stood up, his back facing me.

"Babe?"

He turned his head to me and smiled. But his smile...that's the first. This is the first time I'm seeing him to have that bitter-sweet look on his face.

"No. It's you who shouldn't force yourself."

"Jim-"

"Waaaaah....I'm finally going to say it!"

He said sounding so relieved as he gave a wide smile.

"I can see it you know. The looks you gave him. The attention, the interest, the possessiveness, the concern and the affection."

He paused as he blankly stare at the ground with a soft expression while I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion.

"I wonder if you noticed but he also treat you the same."

"Hey....W-what are you saying? Jimin I-"

"I'm not blind or numb, Jungkook."

He suddenly turned serious and I felt my heart dropped as the guilt rapidly rushed through my veins. I looked down as I bit my lip and fidget my thumbs in nervousness.

"I know. I can see and I can feel it but I chose to stay quiet until you tell me yourself. I was waiting for either the two of you to confess...but I think words aren't needed anymore. Everything became clear that night."

I raised my head and tried to take a glance of him as he walked towards the window.

"I guess you finally realized something that night...but not only you. I also realized something about myself and I just confirmed it now."

I'm a little confused on what exactly he's getting at. I stood up while staring at his back while the window curtains wave as the wind blew against us.

"So, let's break up!"

He said in a cheerful way that left me speechless and a little shocked. I know I deserved this but I cheated on him. He could've punch me, curse at me or just be angry at me! I didn't know peaceful break ups still exist.

"Jimin...."

It came out as a whisper. I wanted to apologize but it seems that the words got stucked in my throat as I felt my hands and knees shaking.

"Jungkook...do you love him?"

Love? Do I love him? It felt like my heart stopped...like everything around me stopped as I think of an answer. Actually, I have never thought of that. Honestly, I'm not sure at all.

"I..."

"Jungkook."

Jimin cut me off as he turned around and smiled at me.

"Figure it out as soon as possible because Taetae called me awhile ago telling me that he'll leave the country tonight with-Jungkook!! Jung-You could've let me finish my sentence first before running like that!...but...I guess you already figured it out huh."

"Taehyung and Jungkook, you owe me one....but I won't put it in your tab since you gave me a chance to be with him. Guess I'm not the innocent one here either so you don't need to feel guilty, Jungkook. Besideds, I told you I also realized something that night...."

"I top."

~•~•~••~•~•~

"Hyung, sorry but could you leave me alone for a moment?"

"Sure."

Bogum hyung left and I walked towards the bench while I hold the ring in my hands. I felt the fresh breeze against my skin as I stared at the beautiful sunset.

They threw away, hid or deleted everything that could remind you of us and this ring was the only thing I was able to keep.

This ring was the only reminder I have that once in my life I had you.

This ring reminds me of bitter-sweet moments but this also serves as a proof that everything really happened. That it wasn't just a dream.

Meeting each other, falling in love and building a relationship for years, only to part ways. Certainly, the pain haunted me in every way.

But...

Will the haunting stop by saying goodbye?

I don't know.

And I won't know unless I try.

So, I am here trying to say goodbye. But, if you're here you could probably know if I really mean it or not since you've always been great at reading me.

Just one look and you'll know. Just feel the thumps of my heart, they’ll tell you that I don’t want to be apart. Just hug me and feel the shivers in my spine, they’ll tell you that I don’t want to be away from someone who I call mine. Just look at the tears in my eyes, they’ll tell you that I don’t want to say goodbye. 

..but I have to.

No matter how much I treasured everything, I still have to say goodbye.

My last words could be a little cheesy but please hear me out and bear with my uncontrollable sobs. This could be the last so please let me cry my heart out.

Uhmmm....

I actually don't know where to start but maybe I have to apologize first because I wasn't able to keep my promises. Sorry for putting you in so much pain. If there's one thing I wish I haven't done, it is hurting you.

Also, I wanted to say thank you. You don't know how much you made my life so meaningful. Thank you for being born and existing in my life. Thank you for loving me.

You taught me how to love, but not how to stop.

I am saying goodbye but I honestly don't know if I can really move on.

Maybe every single step of the way will feel like walking on sharp pieces of glass but I will keep walking even though my feet bleed.

Though nothing is easy, I hope that in the end, we can all laugh and say it was worth it.

Lastly, I just want to say this one last time.

"I love you Kookie!"

'Cause nothing can ever,
Ever replace you.
Nothing can make me feel like you do, yeah.
You know there's no one
I can relate to.
And know we won't find a love that's so true...

There's nothing like us,
There's nothing like you and me,
Together through the storm.
There's nothing like us,
There's nothing like you and me,
Together.
