"Fuck, I need to pee really bad."

"Didn't you just go to the bathroom?" Said Jungkook as he drove the two back home.

"I didn't get to because I wandered off into that restricted area." The older answered while Jungkook steered the wheel.

"Taehyung you really are an idiot. Do you know what could have happened if you got caught?"

"What?"

Jungkook paused and thought for a moment.
"I actually don't know, but that's not the point."

Taehyung rolled his eyes.
"I didn't get caught. I was hiding the whole time when the doctor was in the room."

"There are areas where it's restricted because some patients need more care than others. It's restricted for a reason." The younger sighed explaining.

"Yea, where they forcefully tie their patients down to a bed and inject some unknown shit into patients' necks."

"It was probably just medication."

"Didn't seem like it."

The younger groaned.
"Look," He said taking his eyes off the road to look at Taehyung. "let's just drop the subject and go home."

"Agreed. But first, I want to go to the bathroom. Can we please stop at a gas station?" The older begged looking out the window for any places they could stop at.

"I think there's one just around the corner."

>>>>>>>>>>>>>

"This gas station is really...sketchy."

"Yea, a little bit." Said Jungkook, placing the gas pump inside the tank.

While Taehyung waited for the other to fill up the gas tank, he rushed inside the station to look for a bathroom.

A guy at the cashier handed him the keys and the older quickly went to finish his business.
When he got out of the washroom, he saw a figure in the corner of his eye.

Taehyung turned his head to look and a male dressed in all black was hiding behind a black civic, looking over at him.

Is he watching me?

Taehyung quickly averted his eyes and went back to Jungkook after returning his keys, brushing his mind off of what had just happened.

"Hey, you good?" The older asked.

"Yeah, just finished paying." Jungkook said as he took the receipt, crumpling it and stuffing the paper inside his pocket.

After another 15 minutes of driving, Taehyung had noticed something odd.

The black civic he saw at the gas station seemed as if it was following them.

"Wasn't that car at the gas station with us?" Taehyung blurted out breaking the silence.

"What?"

"The black car behind us. I swear the guy driving the car right now was staring at me when I got out of the bathroom." He said turning his head back in suspicion.

"Are you sure? Maybe you're just being paranoid again." The younger worriedly reaches out to hold Taehyungs hand.

"I swear it's him." Taehyung looked at the rear mirror again.

"I think what you saw at the hospital spooked you a bit."

"But I swear that car- never mind."

"I'll keep an eye out so you should rest a little. Okay?"

"Fine." He answered. "But wake me up if he keeps following."

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

After a long drive, Jungkook and Taehyung came home to the empty apartment.

"Are you hungry? We can order to go." The younger asked taking off his shoes.

"No, not really." He replied hanging his coat.
"Wait, what's that thing on your neck?" Taehyung asked, touching the younger's small bruise on his neck.

Jungkook flinched at his touch.
"Ow, that kind of hurt."

"Sorry, but I barely touched it." Taehyung removed his hand.
"Where did you get that?"

The younger walked up to a small mirror on the wall and looked at his neck.
"I-I don't know. Was it always there?"

"I just saw it."

He touched the bruised spot again but he felt a throbbing pain. Jungkook had no idea where it came from but he didn't want to seem too worried or else Taehyung would start overreacting again.

"Probably just bruised it in my sleep. Not a big deal."

"Is it a hickey?" Taehyung joked.

"Funny. Wonder who would give me this." The younger rolled his eyes.

"Well it can't be me," Taehyung walked up behind the younger and wrapped his arms around Jungkooks small waist. He gently kissed the other's neck where it was slightly bruised.
"I'd never do such a thing."

Jungkook scoffed and turned around to flick the olders forehead.
"Slick."

"Ow?"

"Let's watch a movie. Haven't watched one with you in a long time."
Said Jungkook realizing the last time they had watched one together was right before he left to go to London.

"Good idea, and I'll pick the movie this time." The older agreed swiftly moving to the living room to look for the remote control.

Jungkook headed to the kitchen to take a tub of ice cream from the freezer.

He also took out a bag of his favourite microwaveable popcorn and popped it inside the microwave. While he waited for it to cook, he looked at his bruised neck once again on the reflection of the microwave.

He was getting slightly more worried now that he was conscious of the pain. He tried not to touch the bruised area, but he somehow was tempted to press onto the tenderness.

Before he could, the microwave beeped in front of him.

"Smells good." Taehyung said as he jumped onto the couch while holding a remote control.
"Come, we're watching your favourite, Letters to Juliet."

"I thought you hate that movie. You even told me you'd rather watch Charlie and the Chocolate Factory 10 times than dread through the whole 'finding true love' scenario. Now that's something else." The younger chuckled taking the popcorn out.

"Did I really say that? I would rather watch every rom-com movie than watch Captain Jack with a white ass foundation while playing a guy who apparently owns a chocolate factory the size of Korea." Taehyung sarcastically answered with a slight smile.

"Oh please."

The two cuddled on the couch, Taehyungs arms around the younger as they munched on the freshly cooked popcorn.

"Wow, no matter how many times I watch this movie the fiancé is really a jerk. Leaving the love of his life for some cheese and wine?" Jungkook snickered. "But I guess it's also her fault that she fell in love with someone else."

Taehyung suddenly became stiff, clenching his fist that hung around Jungkook's shoulder. His chest tightened and couldn't swallow the popcorn that he was chewing.

No-

Jungkook noticed the older become uneasy. "Taehyung? Are you okay?"

Taehyung nodded as he took his arms off of the other and stood up from the couch. "Yea, just a stomach ache. Gonna be right back."

"Okay, I'll stop the movie."

"No, it's fine keep watching." replied Taehyung before leaving to go to the bathroom.

As soon as he closed the door shut, the boy turned on the faucet before throwing up in the toilet. The guilt he held inside all this time suddenly became too much for him.

"Fuck-"

He wiped his mouth and flushed the contents as he leaned back on to the wall for support.

Taehyung didn't know how to bring up the topic of his finance after Jungkook had lost his memory. There just wasn't the right time to explain everything- or so he thought.

Yet deep down he knew that he was just too weak to be honest. He was lying straight to Jungkook's face and acting as if everything was okay after the whole incident, but he didn't want the same thing to happen again if he was going to speak the truth.

He was a liar. A liar to everyone.

Not just to his finance.

To the police.

To his parents.

To Jungkook.

Even to himself.

What was he doing here? He shouldn't be doing this right now. He is supposed to call them, tell them where he is. He was supposed to end all of it.

But Jungkook-

He had to protect Jungkook. Taehyung needed to protect the love of his life. He was going against all odds, though he already knew ever since he decided to buy his ticket to see him.

Or was he even the love of his life when he was lying straight up to his face? Was he allowed to even love him when he was contemplating all of this in the first place?

Usually, there would be an easy way out and a hard way out. But for him, there were only hard ways out to this issue he had caused. It was only up to him to decide what to do because, in the end, he was the liar.

A terrible, terrible liar.
