01
Taehyung was normal, he went to school everyday, had his group of friends, had moments of sadness, moments of happiness. Those days were he thought he was depressed, but he wasn't.
When Taehyung was little, he loved running around which got dirt all over his white shirt. It was as if he was a pig on a farm rolling around in the mud until it covered almost every inch of his body. He'd then see his friend Jungkook walking down the sidewalk, he'd call his younger friend over waving and smiling.
The mud making him look like a small monster, Jungkook knew it was Taehyung though he'd still pretend to be scared. He'd run away from Taehyung, they'd run in a circle. Running until Taehyung wrapped his mud filled arms around Jungkook's back, causing the whole backside of his shirt to get mud on it. Jungkook would laugh like crazy as his friend's arms were tightly around him.
"I got you" Taehyung had said, just like he said every time they played like this.
Then Jungkook's mom would come outside and call him in for dinner, while waving a hello at Taehyung. Taehyung would wave back as his five year old friend would make his way towards her. Taehyung was seven then. But he wasnt so bright, so him and Jungkook a few years later would be in the same class. But lets stay in Taehyung's seven year old memory for now.
After watching his friend leave he would sit on the grass, the sky slowly leaving. His mom never called him to dinner. But he knew exactly when it would be ready by looking at the sunset. He never would bother his mom about when dinner would be ready because years before he'd always get in trouble for asking and being what his mom called annoying, but don't get me wrong, his mom loves him very much and always greats him with smiles.
Taehyung would go inside once the sky was the right shade of blue. He'd run in, take off his muddy shoes.
"Taehyung" His mom would say looking at him with amusement, she walked over with a wet towel and wiped the mud off of his face and arms. Then he'd rush up the stairs to change before joining his parents at the dinning table.
When Taehyung was eight he tripped on a hill, breaking his leg and having to wear a cast for six long weeks, it was summer and all he wanted to do was go outside.
Jungkook was with him when he took the fall, but he never saw how Taehyung actually fell. as soon as he saw his friend unable to move he cried with every ounce of water his six year old body held inside. He didn't want to leave his friend's side as Taehyung tried holding in the pain so his friend wouldnt worry, Taehyung closed his eyes shut, telling himself it didn't hurt. Jungkook cried as if Taehyung died in front of his eyes. Then after a few minutes Taehyung mumbled for Jungkook to go grab his mom, Jungkook went over to the Kim's family home and knocked on the door, when Mrs.Kim answered she looked at the boy worried asking what was wrong, "Taehyung" he said in between tears, Mrs.Kim rushed with the boy by her side until she saw her poor child in pain. She called 911.
"What happened?" she asked Jungkook who came to the hospital with them, they sat side by side in the waiting room as Taehyung was getting checked by the doctor.
"I-I don't know" Jungkook said about to start crying all over agin, but before that could happen jungkook's parents went in and they asked Taehyung's mom about Taehyung's condition, Jungkook sneaked through the large hospital doors, he didnt open them of course they were too heavy for him but he found a way to sneak in after a nurse opened the door. He found Taehyung's room and he peaked inside while standing on the tip of his toes.
Taehyung was sitting there alone. Jungkook tried opening the doors but couldn't.
"What are you doing back here?" A man asked making Jungkook jump
"I...I want to see my friend" He said in more of a demand tone then a scared one, the doctor laughed and opened the door.
Taehyung's face lit up and Jungkook used the stool and got up to take a seat next to him. Taehyung took Jungkook's hand.
Then of course their parents came in a few minutes later. Jungkook's parents telling him he should let Taehyung stay and rest.
"But I want to stay" Jungkook pouted,
"Please let him stay" Taehyung said, he really didn't want to stay the night alone in this hospital. Their mom's talked outside the room and talked with the doctor, who'd let them stay longer than visiting hours.
The two boy's dad's went home and the mom's went to get something to eat around eight o'clock. Leaving Jungkook seated in the chair next to Taehyung's hospital bed, they put a cast around it and he'd be leaving the next morning.
"You look tired" Taehyung said and Jungkook shook his head.
"I'm not tired" He lied.
"come here" Taehyung said patting a space on the bed next to him, the side with his good leg, Jungkook went up and laid next to Taehyung.
Jungkook fell asleep, his head on Taehyung's chest, his leg touching Taehyung's luckily fine leg.
Taehyung ran his fingers through Jungkook's brown hair. He found comfort in it in the uncomfortable hospital bed.
That morning when Taehyung woke up and saw his mom with her purse in hand Jungkook was gone. She took him home where he was to sit for six weeks. Jungkook visiting whenever he could which was often since they were next door neighbors.
Jungkook colored on Taehyung's cast, really bad stick figures, both their names drawn shakily because Jungkook was scared of hurting Taehyung, and plus he was six and was still trying to perfect spelling.
