Taehyung's POV-

"Hey. He still here?"

He nods as he turns to walk down the hall with me. "Yes. He and Yoongi got here a while ago and when they did he came right to my studio. He's been in there for a while. He's actually listening to our song." He smiles to himself.

"So, how did this all happen? Did you work things out?"

He nods with a large smile. "I still find myself doubting that it was all real. It couldn't have been better. We spent hours with just the two of us and then he asked if he could talk to Jin."

He says, his voice clearly portraying his shock at what happened. "He asked if I would call him and tell him he wanted to talk to him. He spoke with both of us and he was so mature. So level headed.

"He could have gone completely ballistic on us and we would have understood and accepted it but he was so well spoken and calm. He is not the same boy that we knew. He is so grown up."

"That is so great. I'm glad the three of you could talk through your issues. And yes, he is very grown up." I chuckle as we continue to make our way through the halls.

"Why did you have to go to that side entrance by the way? Would they not let you in the main entrance for some reason?"

"Oh. No, I noticed Yeri walking into the main doors when I got here. I think she is here to visit the front desk girl that helps Irene sometimes. She has started to be more standoffish with me and I would rather just avoid her for a little while until I figure out what to do about her."

"That girl still works here?"

"I know! That was my first thought too. I thought Yoongi would have gotten rid of her himself by now."

We finally round the last corner to Namjoon's studio and my heart rate starts to increase as his door comes into view.

I'm nervous to see him, but I'm also so excited. I missed him. I missed him so much.

I have been bugging Chim for weeks with all of the updates I ask him to give me on Koo's health, his mood and what he's been up to. I know he is beyond ready for me to just ask Koo myself, and I think I'm finally ready to do so.

Along with telling me how Koo is doing, Chim makes sure to complain to me about how he bugs him just as much for updates on how I am. He especially bugs him for my new address.

I moved into the apartment I have in Irene's building and have been hiding out there ever since I moved out of that unit of Yoongi's.

I wasn't planning on coming to the company until our meeting with Hyuk in a few days, but Chim called me this morning and said that Koo had come up with a plan he was going to be putting into action tomorrow that he was determined to make happen no matter if Chim was willing to help him or not.

Apparently, he was going to go to our old meeting spot on campus and wait for me to get out of class. Chim said Koo hadn't really thought about what to do much further than that, but he was going to be there.

Knowing him, I knew Chim wasn't exaggerating when he said that he was going to be doing his plan no matter what.

I'm sure if Chim didn't drive he would have taken the bus and I don't like the thought of the over stimulation that could possibly happen during such a busy time of day in a packed bus.

He is doing well currently, but I can't help but worry.

So when Chim said he was going to come into the company with Yoongi to see Namjoon this afternoon, I asked Namjoon to let me know when he got here so I could see him. Namjoon also didn't tell Koo I would be here.

We finally make it to the door and Namjoon says that he needed to go talk to Hoseok and to just text him or something when we are done before he left.

I slowly opened the door and sure enough, just as Namjoon said, Koo is sat at his desk with a pair of headphones over his ears and his back to the door.

I can hear the music from where I am stood still in the doorway. I lean against the door for a few moments as I listen to his soft singing.

His voice is so beautiful. I wish he would sing more. In fact it makes me think that I should talk to Namjoon about asking Koo to help when he needs vocals for his guide tracks.

I make a mental note to mention this and push myself off of the door and walk to Koo. I continue to enjoy his gentle, angelic voice until I am stood a little behind him on his right.

He must have felt that someone was there because he speaks up.

"It's rather ironic that you wrote this for a friend you missed and I am now singing it for my friend I miss, Hyung. Maybe you can record me singing so you can play it for him from me." He chuckles half heartedly. "Every lyric perfectly describes how I'm feeling."

He says as he takes the head phones off and covers his face with his hands. Not once in the time I have been stood behind him has he turned to look at me. He thinks I am Namjoon.

I take a step to the side so that I am directly behind him and I bend down so that I can wrap my arms around his neck and give him a back hug.

"Tae?"

"Hi Koo."

He brings his hands up to my arms and grips tightly as he leans back into me.

"I would rather hear you sing in person Koo. You have such a beautiful voice."

He lets go of my arms and stands up. He leans his hands on the desk in front of him before he turns to face me. He has dark circles under his eyes, his eyes are red and his cheeks are wet with fresh tears.

He slowly starts to sing, but instead of Namjoon's song, it is the song I would sing to him after he got out of the hospital to help him get to sleep.

My song.

My heart is pounding tonight
I wonder
If you are too good to be true
Would it be alright
If I hold you closer
How could I know
One day I'd wake up feeling more
But I had already reached the shore
Guess we were ships in the night, night, night

My eyes are wide as I begin to let my tears fall as well. I'm stunned that he remembered the words. Every word.

"You wrote that in tenth grade. In our creative writing class. I didn't remember this until yesterday. I am so annoyed that I didn't remember the words at the time when you would sing them. The words made the most beautiful song Tae. You should record it."

"It's about lost love... it's about losing you."

He nods. "I remember. You wrote it after we decided that we shouldn't risk our friendship to have a relationship. You know, you realized the loss sooner than I did. I didn't fully feel how much you meant to me until you moved."

It's quiet after he speaks. I don't mean for it to stretch for as long as it does, I am just trying to find the words I want to say. 

When I think I've gathered my thoughts I take a deep breath and look into his eyes.

"I keep losing you and I felt like you and Yoongi weren't giving me time to deal with it. Just as I would start to fill the cracks in my heart, they would be widened and get deeper.

"Do you understand how frustrating it was that night to have both of you completely disregard everything I've done and be forced into the middle of your relationship insecurities?

"I had good news to tell Yoongi and I wanted to apologize to you and instead I was basically accused of being some kind of man whore that was going to steal you from him and him from you.

"Neither of you would let me deal with my own feelings and I have been so busy with trying to help with Irene that I haven't had any time to do it on my own, so I had to make my own time.

"I didn't know what else to do but remove myself from the situation. I can't keep being so involved with you two." I sigh. "Chim told me you were going to come to the school. Koo, you can't force me to talk to you. That's not fair."

It's quiet as he sniffles and wipes his eyes. It breaks my heart to see, but maybe he's understanding my side a little better now I think.

"I know. I'm sorry." He sobs. "I just missed you."

"I know you're not happy that I moved, but I needed to. I know you're not happy that I hadn't been in contact for almost a month, but I needed that too. It helped me have much needed time for myself."

He continues to let his tears fall as he drops himself back into the chair.

"I know. I was being selfish. I am being selfish. I didn't think about it from your point of view. I only thought about how I missed my friend not that you were trying to undo the damage we did." He takes a deep, shaky breath before looking up at me as he continues. "I'm sorry if you felt like you had to come today. I promise I won't pressure you. Take as long as you need."

I smile softly at him as I kneel down in front of him, placing my hands on his knees.

"I hope you know how happy I am that you and Yoongi have each other. I am fine. I have two amazing best friends that are by my side no matter what. Chim is still going to spend his days with you when he can, but would it be okay if I came over this week?"

"Only if you're ready. I realize that it's not up to me. I am okay to wait Tae." He tries to smile through his tears, but I can tell he doesn't quite mean what he's saying, which only makes me smile. He's trying to mean it.

"Yes Koo. I'm ready."

"Oh thank God." He exclaims dramatically as he throws his arms around my neck.

"I missed you too Koo." I chuckle as I hug him back.
