22: Stay with me

I blinked repeatedly at Jimin and Taehyung tensed up beside me.

"What?" I ask, making sure I had heard correctly.

"Since you're graduated now, I was thinking we could finally make our childhood dream come true." Jimin smiles.

Instantly, I remember.

Ever since Jimin and I were younger we always said we'd grow up and move to Seoul together.

"Wait, you're serious?" I ask.

Jimin smiles and throws his arm around my shoulders.

"Of course I'm serious! This has always been our dream! I already started looking at houses." Jimin grins.

Living with Jimin..

That was definitely something I had always wanted.

"Well, answer him." Taehyung says and I look over at him to see him with a clenched jaw.

Clearly he was anything but happy right now.

I turn back to Jimin to see him smiling widely.

"Can I answer you later?" I ask, knowing I shouldn't give my answer in front of Taehyung.

"Of course! Have fun, okay. I have to go talk to my parents." Jimin says, leaving just Taehyung and I.

I fall silent.

I didn't know what to say, more so, I was afraid to say anything at all.

"So, you'll go with him, won't you?" Taehyung finally speaks.

I bite my bottom lip.

Taehyung sucks in a breath and presses his tongue to the inside of his cheek.

"I'm really sad to hear that" Taehyung says, his voice scary calm.

"I'm sorry." I manage out.

Taehyung doesn't say anything for a moment.

Then he puts on the fakest smile I've ever seen.

"I'm gonna go mingle, Congratulations Jungkook." He says before walking off.

I watched as he went, becoming further and further from me.

I had to admit, it hurt seeing him act like this.

But after all, it was my fault.

...

"Present time!" Jimin yells as he hops to my side.

Everyone gathers around me.

Jimin had made it very clear that his present was us moving to Seoul and I was happy.

Actually, I was ecstatic.

This is all I had ever wanted and now it was finally gonna happen.

Moving in with Jimin seemed like a dream come true.

"Here."  Namjoon says as he hands me cash.

I look at it, my eyes shining.

Honestly, the best gift you could ever receive.

One by one, people gave me money.

I swear I'd be rich by the end of this.

"What did you get him?" Namjoon asks as he looks over at Taehyung.

"Oh don't worry, I gave him his present earlier." Taehyung says, referring to what happened earlier in my bedroom.

"Well, What was it?" Namjoon asks.

The look on taehyung's face screamed "I'll tell him. It doesn't bother me."

"I had-"

"He had cake with me. He bought a separate cake." I say, cutting him off quickly.

Taehyung and everyone else looks over at me.

I glare at Taehyung and grab ahold of his wrist.

"We'll Be Right back." I say as I drag him away from everyone else.

"What is wrong with you? I told you not to say anything and there you go trying to tell them what happened." I whisper yell.

"I don't see the big deal. Who cares if you're gay. It's not like we're hurting anybody." Taehyng says matter-of-factly.

"Still. I told you not to say anything. I get that you're upset and angry with me but that doesn't give you the right to tell my secrets." I say, my voice stern.

"What are you gonna do about it? You'll be leaving soon anyway and it won't matter anymore." Taehyung says, his voice just as harsh.

"What is that supposed to mean?" I scoff.

"It means that you're fucking leaving me, Jungkook. You don't have a single ounce of love for me, do you? It's always Jimin, even until the very end." Taehyung says, a pained look on his face.

Instantly, I felt bad.

"It isn't like that." I say.

"Then What is it like? Because it sure as hell looks that way to me." He says.

Without even thinking, I lean forward and wrap my arms around Taehyung.

He doesn't move back, instead he stands there still as a board.

"You don't know how I feel about you so don't you dare say I don't care about you." I say as I feel my eyes stinging with tears.

"Then how do you feel about me Jungkook because you never specify. You only did once and that was nearly a month ago." Taehyung says.

I sigh and lean my head against his chest.

"I care about you a lot, Taehyung. Just not the way you want me to care about you. I like you, really I do, I just don't love you how you love me." I say, my voice hushed.

Taehyung doesn't say anything for a moment but then he pulls back and studies my face.

"So let me get this straight, you like me but you love Jimin?"

Hearing him say it made me realize how horrible of a person I was.

"I do." I sigh in defeat.

Taehyung looks into my eyes and I can see the sadness within them.

"Then please, please don't leave me." He says.

I felt horrible.

"I can't stay." I sigh.

Taehyung pulls in his bottom lip and pulls back.

"Fine."

"Fine?" I ask, my eyebrows raised.

"Yeah, fine. I understand that I can't make you stay with me. I want you to be happy and if this is how you can be happy then I'll let you go." Taehyung says, pain in his voice.

He sounded as if he would cry any second now.

"Just promise me one thing." He says before I can answer.

"Of course, What is it?" I ask.

Taehyung drops his head onto my shoulder and wraps his arms around me.

"Stay with me, just until you leave. Please give me at least that." Taehyung says.

"I think can do that." I say as I wrap my arms around him and hug him back.

As much as it hurt to end things with Tae completely, I knew he'd be better off without me.

...

After the party finally ended I went upstairs to pack a small bag.

I promised to stay with Taehyung until Jimin and I decided to leave so I'd do just that.

"You're really going to be gone until we move?" Jimin frowns.

"Yeah, I just need a little vacation. Plus why not spend some of my money." I fib.

I had told Jimin I was going to visit Daegu just to relax and get away.

He had no idea I'd be staying with Taehyung and nobody else would find out either.

"Just make sure you're back in two weeks. That's when we'll start packing." Jimin says, a huge smile on his face.

I had told Jimin I'd move to Seoul with him and both of us were beyond happy.

"Of course." I smile.

He smiles before finishing helping me pack a bag.

-

Once I'm finished packing I head outside with Jimin at my side.

I could see Taehyung's car parked as he waited.

"Taehyung is gonna drop me off." I say and Jimin nods as he walks me to the car.

I open the back door to Taehyung's car and put my things inside.

"I'm gonna miss you." Jimin says as he pulls me into a hug.

"I'm gonna miss you too." I say as I hug him back tightly.

Two whole weeks without Jimin seemed like torture.

"Make sure to eat well and call me daily!" Jimin says as he pulls back.

"Of course." I smile.

I shut the back door and move to the front to get inside.

"I love you!" Jimin fake sniffles as he waves goodbye.

"I love you too." I say as I look at Jimin.

From beside me, I heard Taehyung suck in a breath.

He waves goodbye as Taehyung goes to drive away.

Once we're finally on the road I lean back in the seat and look over at Taehyung.

He hadn't said a word since I got in the car and I wanted to start conversation but he didn't seem in the mood.

So Instead of starting a conversation I simply turned the radio up a bit and looked out the window.

The rest of the ride was silent. 

...

When we finally got to Taehyung's house I set my things down in his room.

I'd be staying here for two whole weeks until I left.

I'm not sure this was good for Taehyung but it was his last wish from me.

It was only right for me to follow it through.

"Thank you for coming here, it means a lot." Taehyung says.

"No problem." I smile.

Taehyung looks over at me and takes ahold of my hand.

"You're not tired, are you?" Taehyung asks.

"Not really, why?" I ask.

He lifts my hand up to his lips and kisses the back of my hand.

"I still have to give you the other half of your present."
